Zhou Qiong took a taxi back to Zhonghai Mingyuan, saw Brother Liu, greeted him with a smile, and the latter nodded.

When she opened the door to her home, she saw Chu Yi lying on the sofa, staring at the ceiling, looking extremely lazy, with a takeout bag left next to him.

"Oh, Qiongqiong, you're back! I missed you so much!" Upon seeing Zhou Qiong, Chu Yi felt as if she had seen a relative. She hugged her tightly and cried out about the kind of life she had been living, saying it was worse than death.

The two had been living together, and Chu Yi had long been used to having Zhou Qiong around—playing, joking, doing laundry, cooking... ... Suddenly losing her was something she couldn't accept.

Zhou Qiong gently comforted her best friend, then went into the kitchen, rummaged through the refrigerator, found nothing untouched, and had no choice but to cook. Chu Yi, on the other hand, washed and chopped the vegetables, and the two of them were busy and happy.

"By the way, is university fun?"

"good."

Did you get elected as the class monitor?

"No."

"ah?"

Zhou Qiong pursed her lips and said calmly, "I'm not capable enough; my classmates have better options."

"Who? Who dared to steal my Qiongqiong's place? I'll kill them!" Upon hearing this, Chu Yi pouted, her anger making her all the more adorable.

Soon after, the meal was ready, and the two finished eating. Zhou Qiong then played with Chu Yi until sunset before returning to the university.

Just as she stepped out of Zhonghai Mingyuan, a soft voice caught her attention.

Snap!

Looking in the direction of the sound, there were two people not far away, a man and a woman. The man was dressed in expensive clothes and was no ordinary person, while the woman was his roommate, Lu Linhong.

At that moment, Lu Linhong was covering her delicate face, which was flushed slightly, and her eyes were filled with crystal-clear tears. The man said a few words angrily and then walked into Zhonghai Mingyuan.

Lu Linhong followed behind the man, wanting to enter the residential area, but the man said something to the security guard, who then stopped her from entering.

Lu Linhong could only sit on the ground, lower her head, tears streaming down her face as she silently lamented.

Zhou Qiong was about to leave when she stopped after taking a few steps and then changed direction, moving closer to her college roommate.

She was, after all, a classmate and roommate for the next four years of university life. It's a bit impolite for her to leave like this.

Zhou Qiong approached, took out a tissue and handed it to her roommate. The roommate took the tissue, continued to cry with her head down, and didn't even look up to see who had given her the tissue, wiping away her tears.

It took her a while to come to her senses. She looked up, her pupils slightly dilated: "Zhou... Zhou Qiong... what are you doing here?"

“My home is here.” Zhou Qiong decided to answer honestly. After saying that, she thought for a moment and added, “I didn’t see anything just now.”

Lu Linhong was no longer able to find the flaw in the following sentence and was surprised by the preceding sentence.

Zhonghai Mingyuan is a high-end apartment complex in Shanghai, where the residents are all wealthy and powerful. My boyfriend's family lives here, and they are well-off. He is someone I want to climb up to. But I didn't expect that my roommate's family also lives in Zhonghai Mingyuan.

It is obvious that Zhou Qiong came from a wealthy family, what is commonly known as a rich person.

Then she remembered the next sentence: I didn't see anything just now.

The words imply: I've read it all.

Lu Linhong lowered her head again, remained silent for more than ten seconds, and said in a voice barely above a whisper, "Do I look like a clown in your eyes?"

From the moment they met, she had nowhere to show off her bags, cosmetics, jewelry... and she even stole Zhou Qiong's position as class monitor. This series of actions, which seemed to gain an advantage, actually appeared extremely foolish.

"No."

"You have."

"No, really."

"You really do."

“... ..."

Zhou Qiong accepted the bottled water from Brother Liu, thanked him, and then unscrewed the cap, handing the water to her roommate. She then said slowly, "To be honest, no. You're better than me. You managed to get so many people to vote for you on the first day, which is something I couldn't do. You don't need to be modest."

Lu Linhong stammered, "But..."

"No buts." Zhou Qiong interrupted her, slowly stood up, and rubbed her back. "I'm going back to school. Do you want to come with me? Or are you going to continue waiting for your boyfriend?"

"They've already broken up."

“That’s good.” Zhou Qiong nodded. “Your ex-boyfriend has a bad reputation in the neighborhood. All sorts of ex-girlfriends often cause trouble in the neighborhood, and some even had abortions for him. I also heard that your ex-boyfriend’s father had already arranged a marriage for him with the daughter of a business partner, and the two of them are getting married soon. Hmm... it’s good that you broke up.”

Lu Linhong gazed deeply at Zhonghai Mingyuan, then slowly withdrew her gaze, which fell upon Zhou Qiong with gratitude. Clearly, Zhou Qiong had said so much for her own good, hoping that she would soon give up the idea of ​​marrying into a wealthy family.

Lu Linhong was silent for a moment, then extended her hand and said, "Let me introduce myself again. My name is Lu Linhong."

"Zhou Qiong".

The two smiled at each other and then returned to school.

"Where are you going?" Lu Linhong asked.

"subway."

"Take the subway?"

“Yes,” Zhou Qiong asked, “Is there something wrong with it?”

Is it right?

Of course not!

Why is a rich young lady like you taking the subway?

Even if you don't have bodyguards or a professional driver when you go out, you should at least take a private car. What's the point of taking the subway?

“Hmm… things are quite complicated here.” The two walked side by side, Zhou Qiong said with a smile.

She recounted her family circumstances and experiences in detail, without any concealment or hiding, appearing poised and generous.

Lu Linhong was surprised and looked at the former. He was dressed in ordinary clothes. She didn't expect that he had such a tortuous experience at such a young age. She couldn't help but feel sorry for her roommate.

What was even more surprising was that the pervert... no, that Chu Fang was actually a rich man, and a self-made rich man at that.

I looked down on him that day, thinking he was a pervert, but it turns out he's just a sucker.

What a pity... He already has a girlfriend.

If it were before, Lu Linhong would have really wanted to poach Chu Fang, but facing Zhou Qiong, she stopped herself from having that idea.

The two took the subway to the university.
