Chapter 209

Some people seem loud and boisterous, always jumping around, as if they're unforgiving.

But these people are often all bark and no bite; when they actually encounter someone tough, they back down.

However, some people may seem gentle and easy to talk to, but when they really lose their temper, they often make others afraid to mess with them.

Fang Xiaoqin is the former, while Ji Wanmei is the latter.

Just because Ji Wanmei doesn't usually hold grudges against her doesn't mean she'll tolerate it if someone really crosses her bottom line.

Fang Xiaoqin didn't expect Ji Wanmei to actually dare to make a move; the slap stunned her!

She was actually quite intimidated and didn't dare to fight back. She just glared angrily at Ji Wanmei, her face flashing with various expressions.

Seeing that she had finally shut up, Ji Wanmei glanced at her indifferently, turned around and went back to her bed to sit down and continue reading.

Her movements and posture were elegant and composed from beginning to end, making it impossible to tell that she had just made a move.

Fang Xiaoqin gritted her teeth.

From that moment on, the feud between the two was officially sealed!

After sitting down, Ji Wanmei read for a while and then began writing a letter to Lei Tingjun.

She and Lei Tingjun had agreed this week that he wouldn't need to squeeze in time to come; he could come next week.

Because she knew he had been busy with the acquisition of the brick factory these past few days and was unable to spare any time for other matters.

Ji Wanmei humorously recounted her earlier conflict with her roommate, ending with a playful remark: "I've definitely been 'corrupted' by you; I've even learned to hit people now. But I've discovered that this feeling is quite nice!"

At the very end of the letter, she playfully drew a cartoon sketch of herself hitting Fang Xiaoqin with paper cutouts of herself.

She drew two little devil horns on her head, put her hands on her hips, and looked fierce and malicious.

Then the little figure opposite her, who had been 'slapped', had a face full of tears and was wailing, repeatedly saying sorry and that he was wrong.

Ji Wanmei finished drawing, chuckled as she admired her masterpiece, and then stuffed the letter into the envelope.

Writing letters to Lei Tingjun every day became a must-do for both of them.

The letters he sent her, Ji Wanmei kept under her desk, and had already piled up into a thick stack.

In particular, he often couldn't stop writing letters. Several pages of letters would be stacked together, and several months' worth of letters could fill half a cardboard box.

As Ji Wanmei looked at the letters, she wondered if Lei Tingjun would blush with embarrassment when he saw them many years later.

However, the next day, when Ji Wanmei came down from the teaching building, she still saw Lu Zhuoxuan waiting for her outside the building.

"Junior Sister!" Lu Zhuoxuan no longer calls her junior sister.

When you meet her, call her "Junior Sister". This way, you can distinguish her from the junior sisters in other schools.

"Senior Lu, what are you doing here?" Ji Wanmei asked with slight surprise.

"Didn't I say I'd find you some books last time? I haven't run into you at the library since, so I asked your advisor, and he said you were having class in this lecture hall this morning. So I came over to wait for you and bring you these books. Here, they should all be of interest to you," Lu Zhuoxuan said with a smile.

Ji Wanmei took the books and saw that they were indeed the books she was looking for.

She's already finished reading the two books she borrowed from the library last time, and she's thinking of borrowing a few more.

"Thank you so much, Senior Lu!" Ji Wanmei said with a smile.

"It's nothing, why are you being so polite? With you by my side, my grandma is so happy every day, and her spirits have improved a lot. I'm the one who should be thanking you."

"Going out for lunch or eating in the cafeteria?" Lu Zhuoxuan asked with a smile. "If we're going to the cafeteria, shall we go together?"

Ji Wanmei paused for a moment: "I ate lunch with my classmates in the cafeteria."

Lu Zhuoxuan asked naturally, "Then you don't mind if I come along too?"

He asked so naturally, without any ulterior motive, that Ji Wanmei found it difficult to refuse.

After thinking for a moment, Ji Wanmei smiled politely: "When we were at Shuxiutang, you and Grandma Song often invited me to dinner. You even brought me a book today, so it's only right that I treat you to a meal."

“I have a classmate waiting for me, let’s invite her along.” Ji Wanmei planned to bring Zhou Min along as well.

That way, at least when they get to the cafeteria, it won't be just the two of them alone, and if others see them, it could cause misunderstandings about their relationship.

Lu Zhuoxuan raised an eyebrow slightly, said nothing, and nodded with a smile: "Okay."

After Zhou Min finished class, she came down from another classroom and saw Ji Wanmei waiting for her there, as well as Lu Zhuoxuan next to her. She looked a little surprised.

Zhou Min stepped forward, and Ji Wanmei spoke first: "Zhou Min, you're done with get out of class. Let me introduce you. This is Lu Zhuoxuan, a senior from the Computer Science Department. It's my treat today. How about you two go to the cafeteria and order something delicious? Order whatever you like!"

Zhou Min doesn't like to curry favor with others, especially after seeing Lu Zhuoxuan, the popular senior at school. She originally thought she wouldn't go.

But she noticed that Ji Wanmei's eyes were subtly signaling something to her. Zhou Min thought about it and realized that Ji Wanmei probably wanted her to become a telephone pole on purpose.

"Sure, I'll go along and benefit from it."

The three of them walked together toward the cafeteria.

As they passed by, they saw Ji Wanmei and Lu Zhuoxuan walking together, and many classmates turned around to look at them.

Ji Wanmei was used to being stared at. With her looks, it would be strange if no one paid attention to her when she walked down the street.

But now, the classmates who pass by and look at them are not just staring, but also looking at them with a hint of gossip.

Ji Wanmei felt a little uncomfortable being probed like this.

Fortunately, she brought Zhou Min along. If she had been alone with Lu Zhuoxuan, people might have misunderstood them.

After arriving at the cafeteria, Ji Wanmei said, "You all stay here, I'll go order. Tell me what you want to eat."

Lu Zhuoxuan considerately said, "You two wait here for me, I'll go order."

After Lu Zhuoxuan walked towards the food serving window, Zhou Min whispered to Ji Wanmei, "What's going on?"

Ji Wanmei rubbed her forehead and said, "Lu Zhuoxuan's grandmother is my apprentice. She is the inheritor of Shu Embroidery Hall. I spend my weekends learning the craft from Grandma Song."

“Lu Zhuoxuan sometimes goes to visit his grandma, so I occasionally see her outside the school. And Grandma Song is a very kind and gentle person. Every time I go, she insists on having a meal or tea with me, and I can’t refuse. Today, Lu Zhuoxuan came to give me a book and said he wanted to treat me to a meal. I had no choice but to bring you along, saying that I would treat you.”

"So that's your relationship with Lu Zhuoxuan."

Zhou Min objectively commented, "It seems that being too beautiful can be quite troublesome when dealing with suitors."

Ji Wanmei didn't feel distressed; she just didn't want her classmates at school to misunderstand that she and Lu Zhuoxuan had some other relationship.

She thought of Fang Xiaoqin's loud mouth in the dormitory and had an idea.
