"Are you saying... let think about it carefully, if I’m sure I’m not interested in him, you’ll help handle it?" Xing Nong hesitated as she looked at Luo Ye.
"Yes, think it over before you decide. Just like and Ye Xuan, at the beginning, I didn’t think I liked him. I always thought he was too arrogant.
But later, as we got to know each other more, I began to feel that he really was at that level, and then, I don’t know when, he was in my heart.
Think about it, if I really hated him, I wouldn’t accept his help, nor would I let others speculate about our relationship.
Qiu’er, although you like to tease little boys, previously, it was only limited to pinching their cheeks and verbally taking so advantage, did you ever kiss any of them?
You should know, you’ve spent as much ti with Dongdong as you have with Lu Lu, maybe, the attraction between people is just that strange, what do you think?"
"I... could I really like that little brat?" Xing Nong’s mind was a ss, her big eyes staring at Luo Ye, but her thoughts were drifting aimlessly.
Luo Ye pinched her ear to bring her back to reality: "He’s only two years younger than you, don’t rush to conclusions, and don’t rush to avoid, okay?"
"Alright." Xing Nong reluctantly nodded her little head, her gaze flitting around: "Humph, if worst cos to worst, I’ll tease the little boy right in front of him, wahahaha..."
Watching Xing Nong suddenly beco pleased with herself, Luo Ye was speechless, but then she thought that a mature Lu Lu matched with the carefree Xing Nong might not be so bad.
Xing Nong suddenly stopped laughing and poked Luo Ye: "Hey, what are you thinking about? Why are you smiling so ominously, you look like you’re scheming sothing!"
Luo Ye raised her eyebrows, her dimples showing: "Scheming how to sell you."
"Okay then, sell for a good price, with my skills, running back here won’t be a problem..." Xing Nong said, but her expression solemn, becoming serious: "Luoluo, thank you."
Luo Ye tapped her on the forehead: "We’re good friends, don’t ntion it."
"It’s for opening up about your feelings to advise , hehe..." Xing Nong laughed proudly: "Now I know, Luoluo truly likes Boss Ye, tsk tsk..."
"If I didn’t like him why would I go back with him to the Ye Family? Do you think I’m such a casual person? Hey, at that ti I didn’t react, how did you guys know I went back with him to the Ye Family? The Zhan Family shouldn’t know..."
"Stop guessing, this has to start with Wu Zetian and Yan Han’s issue, those two hoodlums and their families, they complained to the school last Friday. Initially, everyone didn’t think it was serious until Hang nglin announced the punishnt decision, that’s when we panicked.
Zhan Hao tried to call Boss Ye’s cell phone but it was off, so he called his office phone, and Uncle Jiang answered, then, we few knew about it, don’t worry, it’s only known among our group of six."
"Who cares if it spreads!" Luo Ye snorted: "Uncle Jiang really is a blabbermouth."
"Don’t disregard the kind-hearted, Zhan Hao said he clearly heard a woman talking on Uncle Jiang’s side, Uncle Jiang is always helping you clear the enemies, and yet you call him a blabbermouth, I’ll go tell on you, he’s a future boss, I need to curry favor first."
Luo Ye waved her hand: "I won’t stop you, go ahead."
"Humph humph, really going, huh?"
"Go! Go! Go!"
"Annoying, you know I can’t go out now!"
The two joked and laughed as they hurried to the dormitory, and at the hallway entrance, they ran into Zhu Jiangyu, who unnaturally smiled at Luo Ye: "Luoluo, all better?"
"Almost." Luo Ye smiled: "How is Uncle Zhu doing now?"
Zhu Jiangyu beca animated: "I called ho a few days ago, my dad said he has started to feel slight sensations below his waist, it’s possible a miracle might happen over ti, Luoluo, thank you so much, if it weren’t for your recomndation for my dad to see Elder Zhong for treatnt, this turnaround wouldn’t have happened, he asked to thank you properly."
Luo Ye smiled and waved her hand: "We’re from the sa hotown, why so formal?"
"Luoluo..." Zhu Jiangyu hesitated as he looked at Luo Ye, "I... I..." Before he could stamr it out, Yu Na ca out: "Zhu Jiangyu, what do you need?"
"My mom sent dried sweet squid silk, I’ll give it to you as a snack." Zhu Jiangyu said, handing the small package to Yu Na, unable to look at Luo Ye.
"Don’t want it!" Yu Na crossed her arms and looked at him: "Is that all?"
Zhu Jiangyu looked up, his eyes full of pleading: "Take it, it’s really tasty."
"We’re leaving, goodbye." Luo Ye quickly pulled Xing Nong away, her opinion of Zhu Jiangyu plumted, not because he was pursuing Yu Na so quickly, but because of that servile attitude, which really made him appear spineless.
After turning into the hallway, Xing Nong shook her head and grimaced: "Ah, embarrassing our hotown."
"Agreed." Luo Ye patted her, pausing to add: "Maybe his family suddenly faced a crisis, and he’s desperate to find support? Qiu’er, are we being too harsh?"
"Not at all!" Xing Nong puffed out her little chest, waving her hand: "Lucky Luoluo doesn’t like him, or I’d have kicked him flying straight to outer space!"
"Get lost!" Luo Ye pushes her: "If that were true, you’d be sliced up imdiately."
"Have you two finished whispering?" Yaoguang leans on the staircase railing looking at them: "Talking so long and still keeping it from ..."
"Why do I sll a sour scent?" Xing Nong sniffs around: "And it’s getting stronger, I guess soone’s vinegar jar has shattered."
Yaoguang raises her eyebrows in triumph: "I can guess what Luoluo was talking to you about even with my toes, care to bet on it?"
Xing Nong’s neck stiffens: "Let’s bet then, what’s the wager?"
Yaoguang’s eyes roll, and she snaps her fingers: "The loser has to wash the winner’s socks for a month, plus Luoluo’s socks, how about that?"
Seeing Yaoguang so certain, Xing Nong hesitates, fearing to respond.
"Scared?" Yaoguang taunts with a bounce.
Thinking back, Luo Ye hasn’t had the chance to talk to Yaoguang alone since she’s back, Xing Nong gains confidence again: "Who’s scared? Let’s bet."
"Let’s talk over there." Yaoguang leads them to a secluded spot, Bai Qingchu, who has been eavesdropping, appears from behind the door: "It’s unfair, let everyone hear it."
Xing Nong turns back and raises an eyebrow at her: "You can listen, but you’ll have to wash socks with the loser."
"I’d rather not listen then." Bai Qingchu quickly slinks back.
Luo Ye lifts her foot deliberately: "Lucky for the loser, I haven’t been doing morning exercises or training these days, my socks are clean."
Xing Nong sneers: "Bah, once it’s done, we probably won’t be able distinguish whose socks are whose."
"I’ll write nas on them." Luo Ye drapes an arm over her shoulder, looking at her sideways: "You think a challenge will make back down? But Qiu’er, it seems like you’re quite convinced you’ll lose?"
Xing Nong’s neck stiffens again: "Who says? I just think Yaoguang is careless, might not clean them well. Just a heads up, I have no complaints."
Five minutes later, Xing Nong follows Luo Ye and Yaoguang back to the dorm, glancing surreptitiously at Yaoguang. How did this damn girl guess it right?
Or is her relationship with Lu Lu really that obvious? Just like Luoluo said, am I actually liking Lu Lu, just haven’t figured it out yet?
"Who lost? Who lost?" As soon as they enter the dorm, Bai Qingchu asks anxiously.
Miaomiao giggles: "Obviously, Xing Nong lost."
"Hahaha..." Bai Qingchu bursts into laughter: "Xing Nong, starting today, you’ll wash Yaoguang and Luoluo’s socks, hahaha... How about taking a high road and washing everyone’s?"
Xing Nong glares at her: "Dream on."
While everyone is laughing and joking, Yu Na cos in, smiling while raising a small pack in her hand: "Snack ti, squid silk, sent by Luoluo and Xing Nong’s fellow townsman."
Bai Qingchu peeks inside the bag, waves her hand: "I don’t like it, neither sweet nor salty, it also gets stuck in the teeth."
"It’s like solving a problem for ." Yu Na forces so on her, and also shares so with Miaomiao and Li Qing, then turns to Luo Ye: "Luoluo, I know you’re not interested in these things, but, give face, help out?"
Luo Ye smiles lightly, waving her hand: "No, thanks, I just had surgery, better to eat less of these things."
"Then let Xing Nong and Yaoguang have it." Yu Na says while pushing so into Xing Nong, Yaoguang’s hands, casually asking: "By the way, heard Zhu Jiangyu is Luoluo’s first love, is that true?"
"No!" Luo Ye ponders for a mont, then adds: "If you’re happy considering him my first love, then go ahead and think so."
Yu Na laughs charmingly: "I was just curious, with Luoluo’s traits, how could Zhu Jiangyu dislike her? Is it just a rumor?"
Luo Ye smiles amiably at her: "That, you should ask him, I really don’t know how to answer you."
"What’s there to congratulate, I don’t even like him." Yu Na waves her hand in annoyance: "If it weren’t for the sake of a schoolmate, considering his dad is a hero, I would have stopped showing him any kindness long ago."
"Alright, so you an you’re better than Luoluo, huh? But Mr. Ye chose Luoluo, his fiancée can only be Luoluo, I’d advise so people to quash that thought early and stop being annoying." Xing Nong speaks, snatching the squid silk from Yaoguang’s hand, putting it back in Yu Na’s bag: "Such show-off stuff, causes indigestion if eaten."
Yu Na’s expression darkens slightly, then she smiles again: "Xing Nong, you’ve misunderstood, I just thought, Luoluo is beautiful, academic, how could Zhu Jiangyu be so blind."
"Right, blind now as well." Xing Nong responds ungraciously.
"Xing Nong..." Yu Na hesitates: "We’ll be in the sa dorm for four years, if we keep interacting like this, nobody will feel comfortable. I’ve shown weakness, can’t you let go of your prejudices?"
Xing Nong nods: "No problem, just as long as you stop bothering Luoluo needlessly, I’m totally fine. Why do you think I’m not unfriendly to others?"
Tonight there’ll be another update, but it’ll be late, those who sleep early can read it tomorrow morning. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, feel free to visit Qidian (qidian) to cast your recomndation or monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
