Chapter 18: The Lovely Young Lady

  But obviously this has nothing to do with her, and what they are talking about is even more distant from her.

  "Hey, I'm talking to you, classmate. No need to act so high and mighty." Song Xue Li immediately spotted Su Mo Ruo opening the dormitory door. She had thought that since Su didn't go for dinner tonight, she would at least greet her, but unexpectedly, Su walked straight to her bed without any intention of greeting them. Originally, being rejected already made her unhappy, now with this, her temper flared up instantly.

  Young people are indeed arrogant. Su Mo Ruo thought to herself, but she wouldn't show it on her face or in her words. She turned around and smiled at Song Xue Li, "Sorry, classmate."

  "Never mind, don't call your classmates, my name is Song Xueli, what's yours?" Looking at Su Mo Ruo's sincere appearance, the original anger couldn't be raised, and it was extinguished in an instant. She softened her tone a bit and started asking her.

  "Whatever."

  "Can't you say a few more words?" Brief three words, thinking that she had said a lot, but didn't understand why she only changed to three words.

  "Hehe, I'm Su Mo Ruo. Do you have anything else to say, classmate?" I was really sleepy, and didn't sleep well on the train all night.

  Looking at Su Mo like this, Song Xue Li had a stomach full of anger, but unexpectedly couldn't utter a word, and finally said in a stifled tone: "Then go rest."

  It's amusing to think that they all seem like kind-hearted girls at heart, and Song Xue Li is only the way she is now because of her family background. The world isn't all bad after all.

  The other six people in the dormitory were also shocked by the way the two of them got along. Today, they followed Song Xue Li out to eat and it was still a star-rated hotel, with expensive and luxurious dishes, which made everyone suddenly realize that Song Xue Li's net worth must be very high, a rich young lady. So today, the other six people were also trying to curry favor with her, but like Su Mo Ruo's straightforward tone, they really didn't dare believe it, Song Xue Li actually yielded and let her go to sleep.

  Good dreams for a night, the next morning, along with the ringing of the school bell, eight people in the dormitory stepped into their new classroom at Jinghua University. The classroom was already filled with many people, and the eight of them couldn't find seats together, so they stood on the spot one by one, clearly indicating that they needed Song Xue Li to tell them what to do.

  Song Xue Li pointed to the six people beside her, "You all go find your own seats." As she said that, she didn't care whether Su Mo Ruo was willing or not, and pulled her to sit in the two empty seats at the very back.

  Another six people, due to last night's and this morning's events, had already gotten used to the two of them being together like that, and calmly found their seats.

  She glanced at Song Xue Li beside her, but met a pair of sparkling eyes that had been staring at her all along, without blinking.

  "Yao Yao, why don't you want to talk to me?"

  "...". This is a boring question, she chose not to answer.

  "Ruo Ruo, don't you think I'm annoying too?"

  “……”

  "Yao Yao, why don't you chat with me?"

  “……”

  "Perhaps..."

  “……”

  "Perhaps..."

  Ignoring her, however, cultivated her unyielding and persistent mouth that never stopped talking, and in the end, it was Su Mo Ruo's ears that suffered.

  One morning, Su Mo basically didn't hear what the teacher was saying because her ears were filled with Song Xue Li's incessant chatter. Her brow furrowed, and despite several protests, this girl directly told her with her eyes that protesting was useless.

  At noon, the bell rang, and all the students rushed out of the classroom. Only Su Mo was sitting in her seat, motionless. Song Xue saw that she wasn't leaving, so she made a gesture to the other girls in their dormitory, indicating for them to leave first.

  "Aren't you going to eat?" Song Xueli reached out and tugged on Su Mo's sleeve, somewhat puzzled. It was now time for dinner, and everyone knew that if they went to the cafeteria early, they could get better food. If they went later, it would all be leftovers.

  Su Mo Ruo actually wanted to tell her: I just want you to leave first, and then I'll leave.

  But she didn't say so, instead giving her a big white eye.

  She had never been treated like this before, but she didn't get angry. From childhood to adulthood, everyone has always catered to her and flattered her, and there has never been a girl as bold as Su Mo who completely ignored her and didn't care about her status or identity, nor was she afraid of offending her.

  With a look of sudden realization, she stretched out her finger and pointed at Su Mo, shaking it up and down, her eyes sparkling brightly. "Oh - I get it, you've never eaten in the cafeteria before, so you don't know the rules here?"

  Su Mo's face turned black, her mouth twitched slightly, and she was about to retort when Song Xue Li said, "No big deal, I'll treat you like a good sister. How about this? You come with me to eat outside, is that enough?" As soon as she finished speaking, she threw a punch at Su Mo's shoulder, not holding back at all.

  If it were an ordinary person, they would probably be crying out in pain for half a day after being hit like that. But Su Mo Ruo was no ordinary person, so when she was slapped like that, she simply brushed off her shoulder lightly and said, "I'm busy, I'll eat this at noon." As she spoke, she magically produced a paper bag from under the table and pulled out two corn cakes.

  "What, you're eating this?" Song Xue Li's eyes were slightly shocked. From young to old, she had been pampered and spoiled, so the food she ate was naturally the best. Like Su Mo Ruo, who could eat a leftover rice cake from yesterday at noon, it was something she couldn't tolerate no matter what. But looking at Su Mo Ruo eating with such relish, her taste buds couldn't help but stir up.

  Looking at Song Xue Li with a slanted gaze, Su Mo Ruo let out a sigh in her heart. In fact, this wasn't because she was being frugal, but rather because her adoptive mother had given her too much. The food would go to waste if not eaten, so it might as well be used for lunch and dinner. Having eaten too many good things in the past, it wouldn't hurt to eat some coarse grains now, which would actually benefit her health. Since two rice balls were too much for her to finish alone, she reached out and handed one to Song Xue Li, gesturing with her eyes that she should eat.

  Looking at the yellow rice cake in front of her, she swallowed a mouthful of saliva, her eyes slightly guarded. But just as Su Mo Ruo was about to take it back, she hastily reached out and snatched it away, furrowing her delicate eyebrows. Looking at the rice cake in her hand, which was even bigger than the buns she normally saw, she couldn't help but ask: "What is this thing?"

  "Corn cake, we often eat it on our side, made from corn flour, very fragrant and sweet." She had a very faint memory of this thing in her previous life, she always remembered the sweet and fragrant taste, but after growing up, she never got to eat even one bite, so nowadays, she also likes this thing.

  She nodded, indicating that she knew, and looked at the large corn cake. She delicately tore off a small piece from the top and carefully put it in her mouth. Although it was cold, the weather wasn't chilly yet, so the sweet aroma quickly spread inside her mouth. After chewing for two mouthfuls, the smile on her face grew thicker. One hand increased its strength to tear off an even larger piece of corn cake and put it into her mouth. The more she ate, the faster she went, until finally, like Su Mo, she placed the whole thing at her mouth's edge and started gnawing away with big bites.

  After finishing a corn cake, Sumojo quietly took out her book and started reading. She had studied before, but since she still had to go through learning once this lifetime, she had to read ahead of time for now. What she learned in the past was not synchronized with the current curriculum, so some places still needed to be spent figuring out.

  In the past, she was more inclined to practice, but now, before getting to practice, she has to learn and memorize theoretical knowledge first in order to cope with those tedious theory exams.
