They hugged again before leaving and disappearing from Zhou Qiong's sight. She then went upstairs, where her three roommates were tidying up their personal belongings.

Lu Linhong asked, "That's you... ..."

Zhou Qiong replied, "Brother."

"But your surname is Zhou, and his surname is Chu..."

Is something wrong?

Lu Linhong frowned slightly but didn't ask any further questions. She then took out her own bag and boasted, "See this? This is LV's newest bag this year, handcrafted and a limited edition worldwide. I managed to snag one..."

My roommate, Ou Shujuan, asked with a mixture of surprise and envy, "This must be very expensive, right?"

"It's not expensive, only 120,000."

Chu Xiao's voice rose eight octaves: "120,000? My dad doesn't even earn 120,000 a year, and a bag is worth that much?"

Lu Linhong boasted about the things she used, the five-star hotel she stayed in, and the grand scenes she had seen. Ou Shujuan and Chu Xiao, who came from small cities and hadn't seen much of the world, listened with longing and envy.

But Lu Linhong didn't feel the usual sense of satisfaction or superiority, because Zhou Qiong didn't echo her; she just kept her head down and did her own thing, as if she hadn't heard anything.

She boasted about it several more times, but to her disappointment, she received no response. Feeling disappointed, she turned her gaze to Zhou Qiong, who had a faint, kind smile on her face.

As the night grew quiet, the four of them couldn't sleep because it was their first time away from home. Even after the lights were turned off, they continued to chat enthusiastically, mainly Lu Linhong and her two companions, while Zhou Qiong would occasionally chime in.

"Oh, by the way, Zhou Qiong, where are you from?" Lu Linhong asked.

“A small village in Chengdu,” Zhou Qiong replied calmly.

Lu Linhong exclaimed, "Then your life must not be very good. Getting into Fudan University is no easy feat."

"fine."

“... ..."

Lu Linhong felt like she was going to vomit blood; it was as if she had punched cotton. Zhou Qiong had no idea what her roommate was thinking and was chatting with Chu Yi at the moment.

[Chu Yi: Qiongqiong, I can't sleep without you.]

[Chu Yi: Throwing a tantrum.JpG]

Zhou Qiong: I'll come home to see you tomorrow.

It only takes half an hour by subway from Fudan University to Zhonghai Mingyuan, which is very convenient.

[Chu Yi: Aren't we having military training tomorrow?]

[Zhou Qiong: Military training is scheduled for the end of the semester. I'll have free time after the class representative election tomorrow.]

[Chu Yi: I remember you said you wanted to be the class monitor.]

Zhou Qiong: Mm.

[Chu Yi: Keep going, keep trying, I'm your strongest support.]

... ...

Early in the morning, Zhou Qiong woke up and brushed her teeth. The sound of her washing up woke up her three roommates. Since there was a class meeting in the morning, the three of them got up together without delay.

While brushing her teeth, Lu Linhong said, "By the way, I have an announcement to make. I'm running for class monitor. You all have to vote for me. If I get elected, I'll pull strings for you and guarantee you won't fail any courses."

The other two roommates nodded, meaning they would vote for her.

Zhou Qiong pursed her lips and said, "I also want to run for class monitor."

The temperature in the dormitory immediately dropped after these words, and the atmosphere became very awkward. Lu Linhong's face showed displeasure. She thought she had become the leader of the dormitory and could order her three roommates around with just a few words, but she did not expect Zhou Qiong to want to compete with her. She tried her best to suppress her emotions and repeated, "I want to be the class monitor."

"We'll compete," Zhou Qiong said with a faint smile. "I don't think you'll be angry, will you?"

“... ..."

Lu Linhong wanted to get angry, but faced with Zhou Qiong's kind smile, she felt that getting angry would seem petty, so she had to suppress her emotions and said with a smile, "Of course not. Competition is a good thing. Besides, we are good sisters, how could we be angry? I hope the result of the competition will not hurt our friendship."

I don't think so.

"I think so too."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

After washing up, the four of them headed to the agreed-upon classroom. Along the way, Lu Lihong chatted enthusiastically with Ou Shujuan and Chu Xiao, trying to get them to vote for her and promising to treat them to dinner that night if they succeeded. The three of them chatted animatedly.

Zhou Qiong walked quietly to the side.

Once in the classroom, Lu Linhong became more open, chatting with classmates she didn't know, introducing herself, and saying that she wanted to run for class monitor and hoped to get votes.

When it came time to elect the class monitor, Lu Linhong was the first to go on stage, introduce herself generously, and make her promises as the class monitor, which drew cheers from the crowd, as if she was the one everyone wanted.

Lu Linhong glanced at Zhou Qiong and gave a soft hum.

The applause and the crowd had a certain arbitrariness about them.

Next up was Zhou Qiong. Compared to Lu Linhong, she seemed much less interesting. She didn't tell any jokes or make any promises about not failing her courses. She simply talked about her ideals and aspirations, her love of reading, and her willingness to share her learning methods with everyone. That was all.

The final result was obvious: Zhou Qiong lost, and Lu Linhong was elected as the class monitor.

"I'm sorry, everyone supported me, you're not angry, are you?" Lu Lin Hong said with a hint of smugness.

"It's nothing," Zhou Qiong shook her head. "It's just that I'm not capable enough."

"You really won't get angry?"

"Won't."

Zhou Qiong was not angry.

Firstly, the voting results are already set, so there's no point in getting angry. Secondly, Lu Linhong's ability to unite the class members is her own skill, while her inability is due to her own lack of ability, and has nothing to do with others. Thirdly, she didn't have much confidence in running for class monitor; her main goal was to hone herself so that she could adapt to university more quickly.

“... ..."

Why am I a little angry when you're not? ... ... Lu Linhong felt a tightness in her chest.

Lu Linhong suppressed her emotions, clapped her hands, and all the students' eyes turned to her. She said, "Let's all go out for dinner together later, it's on me."

Upon hearing this, the entire class erupted in cheers and encouragement.

It's always good to have someone treat you.

After Lu Linhong sat down, Zhou Qiong said softly, "I'm sorry, I have something to do later and can't attend the gathering. I hope you don't mind. I really have something to do."

Rather than eating, she wanted to go home and see Chu Yi. Without her, Chu Yi would probably only order takeout.

After the class meeting ended, Zhou Qiong left. As Lu Linhong watched her retreating figure, she crossed her arms and hummed softly.

I am very dissatisfied.
