Chapter 67
Min Jing listened, nodded in agreement, and then looked at Su Mo with a sympathetic gaze. "You just arrived, so take it easy for now. Don't worry, we're all from the same dormitory. I believe that even if Crazy Girl gets out of hand, she'll still show some mercy. You can rest assured that even if she goes too far, we'll remind you to be careful."
Upon hearing this, Su Mo felt a chill run down his spine. It seemed that the girl who was chatting with him had a rather unpleasant personality.
Ning Shi Yang was somewhat annoyed, her mother's, this is her own doing, now she has to bear the consequences herself. This is her sister, her sister, her eldest uncle's treasured daughter, how could she dare to provoke her? At that time, when she learned that this sister had coincidentally and mistakenly ended up in the same dormitory without any arrangement, it even delighted her eldest uncle and aunt for a while. She has always known that her eldest uncle and aunt have been missing this wandering daughter who was lost outside for many years, and now they finally found her, but still need to use their minds to recognize her. Her heart also ached for the two elders, so she naturally took the initiative to help with the arrangements. More importantly, she wanted to see if this girl could be her older sister after all. The identity was there, if there was nothing on Su Mo Ruo's body that made her convinced, then this sister, she didn't know whether to recognize her or not.
So everything is still being observed.
But what she is certain of now is that this older sister's impression has given her a lot of feeling, and she unconsciously wants to get closer to her.
But now, two roommates and confidants, the identity of this sister cannot be made public yet, so she also cannot tell the two confidants her true relationship with Su Mo Ruo. Now, letting these two people fall into a trap, Ning Shi Yang has a feeling of regretting not doing it earlier. In those days, how did she form such an eccentric personality? Now, making herself have that kind of impression and positioning in the hearts of the two roommates, her heart is now hateful to death.
Although she was gritting her teeth with hatred, Ning Shi Yang still endured it and didn't show the same eccentric temper as before. Instead, she smiled brightly at Min Jing and Ping Qi Yu, who were quietly playing games, and said: "My temper has changed a lot now, just watch me, I really want to be friends with Su Mo Ruo, you two can just wait and see, time will prove everything, you'll see that I'm genuinely willing to be good friends with Su Mo Ruo, and the despicable things you're thinking of in your minds won't exist on my part."
Although the two men looked disbelieving, Ning Shi Yang, who had been with them for at least half a year, would never say such things. The two of them were half-believing and half-doubting, looking at Su Mo Ruo's gaze, which was flashing with uncertain light.
"Alright, today our dormitory has a new roommate. Do you guys think we should welcome Mo Ruo with a welcoming dinner?" Ning Shi's eyes sparkled brightly.
Min Jing and Quan Mengyu both had some doubts, as they had never seen Ning Shi Yang being so enthusiastic towards people he just met before. Something must be off about this, that was what the two of them were thinking in their hearts right now.
And so, the three of them made a decision without giving Sumo any choice, and directly took her to a restaurant outside the school.
Three people chose to eat Western food, elegant Western food is still very popular nowadays, especially among these young ladies and gentlemen, Western food is their most popular form of consumption.
It seems that Ning Shi Yang and the other two were familiar with the place, and they walked directly to another private room. The four of them had just sat down when they called over a waiter and handed the menu to Su Mo Ruo first.
Actually, she wasn't particularly fond of this type of Western food. In the past when they were in Beijing, whenever they had dinner gatherings with Lin Huanxiang and others, they rarely chose Western food, usually opting for Chinese cuisine instead. After scanning the menu, Su Moruo only ordered a steak and a bowl of borscht, not bothering to order anything else. The other three people, however, seemed to have a special fondness for Western food, rattling off many dish names with their mouths moving rapidly, which made Su Moruo feel a chill run down her spine. Looking at these three girls who could be described as "thin and gaunt", she wondered if they could really finish eating all that food?
Or rather, for rich young ladies, these things are just a matter of liking them and clicking on them, if they can't finish eating them and wasting them, it's better not to have them.
A Western-style meal, Su Mo had only eaten half full, while the other three people were already lying on the dinner table, fortunately, there was a thick curtain to separate them, so everyone couldn't see the situation inside, otherwise, the brilliant image of these three girls would have been ruined in an instant.
Under Sumo's urging, the three of them slowly tidied up their appearance, enduring the bloating sensation in their stomachs, and slowly got up to leave the karaoke room.
"Wow, look! It's Tao Zijia and Zhang Sihan. Quick, take a look!" Suddenly, the originally quiet Qian Mengyu suddenly opened her mouth, looking at the four people who were also preparing to leave and walking towards the door not far away, and exclaimed with surprise.
The person next to Min Jing couldn't help but roll her eyes, "I'm saying, what kind of era are we living in now? How can you still be so stubborn? I've already told you that Tao Zijia and Zhang Sihan both have fiancées, don't you know?"
After being scolded so severely, the originally sparkling eyes slowly dimmed, and Qiao Mengyu looked somewhat wronged, biting her lip and lowering her head, not making a sound or breathing out, looking very wronged.
Su Mo Ruo didn't say anything, but judging from the situation, she had already guessed that among the four people in a row, two handsome boys were liked by Qu Meng Yu. However, liking two boys at once made her somewhat unbelievable.
At this time, Ning Shi Yang, who was standing beside Su Mo Ruo, explained in her ear: "Actually, Meng Yu likes Zhang Si Han, but he seems to have no intention of reciprocating her feelings. Zhang Si Han seems to have someone else on his mind, although they are already engaged, many people know that he and his fiancée don't have a emotional foundation, it was all arranged by their families. He doesn't seem to be interested in the beauties at our school, but Meng Yu just dove headfirst into this, no matter what we do, we can't stop her."
Listening to this, Su Mo felt that she could also understand Tui Meng Yu's feelings. After all, Zhang Si Han looked quite good and had a pleasant temperament. She didn't think she was very good at judging people, but there were few people who could make her remember them after just one glance without feeling any disgust, and Zhang Si Han happened to be one of them.
"I'm telling you, Qiao Mengyu, you're staring at Zhang Sihan every day, do you really think that by looking at him like this, he'll fall in love with you?" A beautiful girl with high eyebrows and a haughty look walked over, looking at Qiao Mengyu with a mocking tone, not giving her any face.
It's probably not the first time a girl has said this to him, and Que Mengyu seems to be able to handle it well. He raises his chin slightly, not thinking there's anything wrong with what he did, and responds strongly to the beautiful girl in front of him: "I'm just looking at her twice, which doesn't seem to be against the law, does it? If you think that looking at her twice requires paying money, then I don't have any objections." As he speaks, he makes a gesture as if to take out his wallet.
Watching Qu Mei Yu's actions, the girl's face suddenly became ugly. In the past six months, she had also been fooled by this girl many times. She didn't have much to do with Zhang Si Han, but Zhang Si Han was her good friend's favorite man. Since her good friend hadn't been in the country for the past two years, she naturally had to help out with many things. Although Zhang Si Han already had a fiancée, she also knew that Zhang Si Han's feelings for her good friend were still there. That's why she would often be with Zhang Si Han for her good friend's sake, and Zhang Si Han was also happy to be with her. To outsiders, they seemed like a couple. The person in Zhang Si Han's heart was actually her, but only a few people in their circle knew that Zhang Si Han secretly had feelings for which woman.
"Alright, let's keep it brief, it's getting late. You all should head back early too, and be careful on the road." The speaker was Tao Zijia, with a gentle smile on his face, wearing a beige windbreaker and black casual pants. His outstanding appearance and demeanor, combined with his gentle voice and eyes, made everyone involuntarily focus their attention on him.
"Master Tao, you guys come over and eat too." Ning Shi Yang looked at Tao Zi Jia with a mischievous grin on his face, smiling slyly as he asked.
Tao Zijia's originally gentle smile became even gentler after hearing Ning Shiying's words, her voice filled with concern as she said without any disguise: "You little girl, it's so late and you're still outside, don't you know how dangerous it is out here?"
Upon hearing this, Ning Shi Yang felt a wave of helplessness. Tao Zi Jia had always been very good to her, a great brother who thought about many things more carefully than she did herself. Many times people would mistakenly think they were a couple, but unfortunately, they were just siblings. The two families had known each other for generations, so their children's relationship was also very close.
"Alright, Li Jing, they're all younger than you, so be polite to everyone." At this time, a bright and clear female voice, mixed with an absolutely intolerant and authoritative tone, spoke out to the crowd.
The girl called Li Jing, who was just beginning to speak impolitely to Qiao Mengyu, listened and closed her mouth very obediently, but her eyes were still watching Qiao Mengyu with some vigilance.
"You're Ning Shi Yang, right? Tao Ge has mentioned bringing you out to eat with us several times, but we never had the chance. I didn't expect that today we'd end up eating at the same place. If only we knew, we should have sat together and eaten as a group." Liang Jia Xi's voice was very gentle, she had always heard everyone mention how close Tao Zi Jia was to Ning Shi Yang, who came from a family of poets, so naturally she wanted to win her over in the first instance, which would be considered the first step in pursuing Tao Zi Jia.
Although I've only been in school for half a year, and although I've never had direct contact with Liang Jiahui before, from what many people have said, overall Liang Jiahui is still not bad. Since she was young, she has joked about this handsome brother of hers, wondering what kind of excellent sister-in-law he will find in the future. The fact that Liang Jiahui likes Tao Zijia is clear to everyone in the entire school.
Now that Liang Jiahui has come over to greet her, she naturally wouldn't give him the cold shoulder. She tilted her head and gave Tao Zijia a mischievous smile before turning to Liang Jiahui and saying: "Sister Liang is indeed as excellent as everyone says, and she's so beautiful too. Whoever marries you in the future will definitely be very happy."
"You're really sweet-talking, I'll definitely invite you to my wedding after Sister Liang gets married." As she spoke, Liang Jiahui's gaze drifted unintentionally towards the man beside her.
But Tao Zijia seemed like a wooden puppet, completely unaware of these things, and said to Ning Shiying and others: "Hurry back, it's already so late."
"Uh, let's go first, Brother Tao." Min Jing was furious in her heart. Tao Zi Jia was so handsome, and she naturally hoped that her own sister would get him. Obviously, there was such a good sister by his side with such a good relationship with Tao Zi Jia. As the saying goes, "near water tower first gets the moon", but this stupid girl didn't understand or appreciate it, letting such a good man slip away from her hands.
Until everyone had left, Min Jing was still complaining non-stop, her heart filled with indignation. Although they didn't have many chances to meet like this, and she only just found out how good Tao Zijia and Ning Shiying's relationship was, from then on she wanted to play matchmaker for them. But unexpectedly, that crazy woman Ning Shiying simply had no intention of it, such a great catch, wasted on another woman.
Four people walked all the way back, if they went back, there was still more than ten minutes' walk from the Western restaurant to school, and it just so happened that four people in a row had nothing to do, so they gave up taking a taxi and chose to walk.
All the way, Min Jing kept muttering to herself, and Su Moer heard it very clearly.
Four people, in order to take a shortcut, happened to have a small alley that could lead directly to the school gate. Since there were already four people together, they also ignored the safety issue and walked into the alley.
