"Ye Zi, your Jade Pendant looks pretty nice, did you buy it on Antique Street?" Lian Lan tentatively asked. The Jade Pendant was in the shape of a leaf, with a transparent and erald green throughout, obviously not cheap by the looks of it. This thought made Lian Lan unable to suppress her rising jealousy. Speaking of the four girls in their dorm, her family was the poorest.
Liu Qingqing hails from Coal Province, her family runs mining businesses, known for their flashy wealth. Cao Lu’s parents are both university professors, with her father serving as a technical adviser for a certain group, so they’re not short of money either. Even Ye Qiu, whose parents are small-ti rchants, has rooted their business in a renowned tourist city that is bustling with custors every day.
But what about her? Her parents, ostensibly civil servants, held positions without connections, in clean but powerless governnt offices. While they weren’t lacking money for living expenses over the years, they certainly weren’t well-off enough to spend frivolously. For instance, they would never buy her a Jade Pendant like the one Ye Qiu wore around her neck.
"You an this Jade Pendant?" Ye Qiu replied in a nonchalant tone, maintaining her composure in the face of Lian Lan’s expectant yet tense expression, "It was given to by my grandfather."
Having received her answer, Lian Lan looked down, deep in thought. The more she contemplated, the more suspicious she beca. It seed like in novels, the so-called ’golden fingers’ were either accidentally bought in Antique Street or inherited as a family heirloom. Could it be that Ye Qiu’s extraordinary past life was because of this Jade Pendant? Perhaps, there was indeed a legendary space inside, one that could not only make one more beautiful and intelligent but also ensure health and longevity.
That’s right, Ye Qiu clearly had a younger brother who had been in poor health since childhood, yet until her rebirth, she had never heard of any misfortune befalling him. Could it be that Ye Qiu really had so miraculous encounter?
The more Lian Lan reminisced about her previous life, the more she felt Ye Qiu’s uniqueness, and she attributed all these anomalies to the Jade Pendant. She was determined to find an opportunity to test it.
"What’s wrong? Is there sothing else?" Seeing Lian Lan’s gaze unconsciously rest on her neck again, Ye Qiu deliberately looked at her with feigned puzzlent.
"Oh, it’s nothing." Lian Lan’s expression betrayed a hint of awkwardness as she coughed lightly, "I just think your Jade Pendant is pretty nice."
"Oh." Ye Qiu ignored her and quietly went about her washing up.
Lian Lan felt provoked by Ye Qiu’s dismissive attitude. She couldn’t understand why, despite Ye Qiu’s unpleasant personality and her disinterest in most things, people still liked her so much?
Could it all be because of that face?
She believed she was not bad-looking herself, having grown up amidst other people’s complints. But, unfortunately, upon entering university, she t Ye Qiu, her roommate, who overshadowed her in looks alone.
And then there was the male idol she secretly adored; one she longed for but couldn’t have, yet soone else accepted his earnest pursuit without any effort. How unfair was fate?
Thinking of this, Lian Lan suddenly awoke to a realization. It was only the second sester of their freshman year, and her idol hadn’t noticed Ye Qiu yet; they hadn’t even started a relationship. Could it an there was a chance for her?
Joy surged in Lian Lan’s heart as she made up her mind not to give up so easily. Now, she could only silently apologize to Ye Qiu. Ye Qiu was so beautiful and pursued by so many in her previous life, so surely she wouldn’t mind if Lian Lan went after her male idol!
"Co on, eat up quickly or we’ll run out of ti." Even in her hustle, Cao Lu’s voice remained soft and endearing, trailing off with a cute long tone. It’s no wonder Liu Qingqing, the ’big sister’ type, always spoiled her.
"I’ve never seen any other school like our J University that doesn’t allow eating in classrooms and on campus paths. Those Student Council mbers are really sharp-eyed, catching you the mont you’re not careful and making you write reflections." Liu Qingqing spoke with a small stead bun in her mouth, her words muffled.
"Eldest Lady, before you say that, you might want to rember that you’re one of those Student Council mbers yourself." Cao Lu couldn’t help but roll her eyes and tease her.
Ye Qiu, sipping soy milk with a smile, watched the two bicker, thinking how wonderful it is to be young!
Lian Lan shared the sa sentint. Since she got married in her previous life, she couldn’t rember the last ti she had a hearty laugh. She yearned for such youthful carefreeness and thankfully, fate was not too cruel to her; she really was reborn.
"You two are still laughing; are you still my besties or not?" Liu Qingqing’s phoenix eyes slanted, exuding an imposing and enchanting aura.
"I an, if you’re not happy with the student council work, why did you insist on joining in the first place?" Cao Lu asked puzzledly, "The student council is tough and thankless, and you don’t need that experience for a good job in the future, so why not quit?"
"You don’t understand," Liu Qingqing raised an eyebrow, "I joined for soone."
"Who?" Lian Lan’s eyelid twitched as she quickly joined the conversation.
Liu Qingqing smiled aningfully at the three curious girls in the dormitory: "Lin Jiayan."
Hearing the familiar na, Lian Lan’s heart instantly started thumping like a frightened deer, and she rembered his tall, handso figure and intelligent wisdom.
"It’s just a pity that the mont I joined, the god-like guy went abroad for an exchange. I didn’t even get the chance to et him," Liu Qingqing said regretfully.
"Do you like him?" Cao Lu curiously asked, "But don’t you already have a boyfriend?"
"What do you know?" Liu Qingqing tapped Cao Lu’s smooth and fair forehead, "A boyfriend is a boyfriend, a male god is a male god. I like the male god’s looks, not him as a person."
"Trashy girl," Cao Lu looked at her with disdain, coldly spitting out two words.
"Hey, kiddo, you’ve gotten bold, daring to criticize your sister," Liu Qingqing pinched Cao Lu’s chubby cheek, kneading it left and right, and the fair and tender cheeks quickly turned into red, rosy apples.
At this mont, Lian Lan couldn’t help but feel her heart fluttering. Lin Jiayan was a senior in the finance departnt, two years ahead of them. Just as they started school, he was selected by the university to be an exchange student in the United States for a year. By calculations, he should be coming back in September.
It was also at that ti that Lin Jiayan fell for Ye Qiu, thus beginning a long pursuit.
With a complicated expression, Lian Lan gazed at Ye Qiu’s profile, resolute in her heart – no, she must make Lin Jiayan fall for her in this lifeti.
Lin Jiayan was already the president of the student council before he went to the United States, and although he stepped down from that position last year, his relationship with the student council didn’t fade after his return in September; he still attended their gatherings several tis.
This ti, she must take the initiative and let Lin Jiayan get to know her first, and joining the student council was a shortcut.
"Xiaoqing, does your publicity departnt still need people?" Lian Lan was eager to try.
"You want in? Aren’t you already in two clubs? Can you handle it?" Liu Qingqing asked in surprise,
"Hmm, I’m thinking of quitting the mountaineering club, so it should be doable with just the drama club."
"That’s fine then. I don’t want to be in the student council anymore anyway, I can just recomnd you. But I can’t guarantee you’ll definitely get in!"
"No worries, I’m just giving it a shot." Lian Lan said casually, but inwardly she couldn’t afford the slightest mishap.
