Upon hearing Xia Lan's words, Wu Shishi's expression changed.

Upon hearing Xia Lan's words, Zhang Qiu knew that they must have come from Wu Shishi.

"Wu Shishi, I hope you understand that this is not your home. If you want to get along well with your classmates at school, then stop acting like a spoiled princess. No one here will indulge you."

Zhang Qiu knew that Wu Shishi had been spoiled since childhood and pampered by her family. With such a personality, she would inevitably be disliked by people in society.

Her father had told her not to spoil her and to discipline her when necessary.

Therefore, Zhang Qiu showed no mercy and directly pointed out Wu Shishi's problems.

"They ignored me, so why are you siding with them and talking about me?"

Wu Shishi was scolded by Zhang Qiu, and her eyes reddened with grievance.

No one has ever been so fierce to her in her entire life!

"You must have said more than just that, right? Should we have them repeat themselves?"

Zhang Qiu looked at Wu Shishi and asked calmly.

Wu Shishi fell silent instantly. She had always had a smooth life from childhood to adulthood, so why did things suddenly go wrong today?

"Because your father and the others don't hold it against you, a junior, but that doesn't mean they don't know what you've done," Zhang Qiu said indifferently.

Wu Shishi looked up in surprise.

“Your dad told me a lot about you and told me to keep a close eye on you.”

Zhang Qiu looked at Wu Shishi, so she already knew what kind of person she was.

"My dad wouldn't allow anyone to bully me!"

Wu Shishi couldn't believe it; her father doted on her so much, how could he say such a thing?

"Then you can call back and ask your dad!" Zhang Qiu didn't say anything more. If she didn't believe him, she could go and ask her father.

"..." Wu Shishi lowered her head, but dared not hit him.

"Did you say something unpleasant to your classmates?" Zhang Qiu asked seriously when Wu Shishi became obedient.

“…Hmm.” Unwilling to give up, Wu Shishi could only respond with a reluctant hum.

"Apologize," Zhang Qiu said directly.

Wu Shishi's eyes widened in disbelief. Zhang Qiu was actually asking her to apologize to that village girl.

"Apologize, but don't make me say it a second time!" Zhang Qiu said sternly once again.

"...I'm sorry." Faced with Zhang Qiu's unquestionable gaze, Wu Shishi, though weak and unwilling, had no choice but to obey and obediently apologize.

That tiny sound, no bigger than a sesame seed, was like the buzzing of a mosquito.

"Huh? What did you say?" Xia Lan looked at Wu Shishi. "Did you just insult me?"

"I was saying sorry, I didn't insult you!" Wu Shishi shouted, provoked by Xia Lan.

"That's what an apology should be like! The sound you made just now, I thought there were mosquitoes!" Xia Lan said casually.

Wu Shishi gritted her teeth, glared fiercely at Xia Lan, and said to Zhao Pandi.

"sorry!!"

"Is that enough?" he said, not forgetting to glare at Xia Lan.

"Alright." Xia Lan chuckled, and Zhao Pandi quickly replied.

"Alright, alright, I heard you, I'm not angry with you anymore."

"Let's consider this matter closed, but if you want us to help with your luggage, you'll have to be more polite," Xia Lan said to Wu Shishi.

Wu Shishi looked at the four or five bags of luggage beside her bed and looked to Zhang Qiu for help.

Zhang Qiu said indifferently, "Don't look at me. Students at school pack their own luggage. Who has time to pack for you? This isn't your home."

"..." Wu Shishi had never packed her things since she was a child. She glanced at Zhang Qiu with a resentful look, then turned around and saw Xia Lan and the others waiting for her to give in.

“…Help you guys help me.” Wu Shishi pouted and turned her head away.

In the end, they gave in.

"Come on, let us help you." Her voice softened, carrying a hint of cuteness, and Xia Lan's lips curled into a smile.

As soon as Xia Lan spoke, Sudan and Zhao Pandi came over and helped open Wu Shishi's things. It turned out that the boxes were mostly filled with her dresses.

Zhang Qiu glanced at Xia Lan, a slight smile playing on her lips, and silently made her exit.

"...Why did you bring so many skirts to school?" Sudan opened two boxes, both of which were full of skirts, and said speechlessly.

"Of course I'll wear it!" Wu Shishi said proudly.

"What are you standing there for? Come and tidy up your clothes. There's not enough room in the closet for all these clothes. Have someone send the extra clothes home!"

Xia Lan rolled her eyes at Wu Shishi, "She's putting on airs again."

“…I don’t know how.” Wu Shishi looked at Xia Lan and whispered.

“If you don’t know how, you learn. Nobody is born knowing everything!” Xia Lan said earnestly.

"Never rely on others. What if one day you have no one to rely on? Are you just going to abandon them?"

"I will never fall to that level..."

Wu Shishi said in a muffled voice, but still walked over and followed Sudan's example in packing her things.

"It's not that difficult!" Wu Shishi packed a few items and found it quite interesting.

As they gradually became more skilled, they folded their clothes and put them in the closet.

Xia Lan gestured for Su Dan and Zhao Pandi to let go. The three of them watched as Wu Shishi gradually filled her closet with clothes, and then...

Wu Shishi looked at the cabinet that was already overflowing, then turned to look at the three large boxes of clothes at her feet.

The first time I felt my own clothes...

It seems like there's 'a bit too much'.

"Now look around, is there any more clothing left in your closet?" Xia Lan reminded her.

"...How was I supposed to know the lockers at school would be so small?"

Wu Shishi glanced at them guiltily and silently closed her suitcase.

"I'll call my dad in a bit and ask him to take the clothes back, okay?"

"sure."

Xia Lan and Sudan exchanged a glance and smiled.

"snort."

Wu Shishi raised her chin proudly.

Although she had opinions about them, this was the first time she had ever communicated with them like this, as if they were 'friends'.

"Oh, you've all arrived! Hello, I'm Liu Xiaohong from the Chinese Department."

A woman wearing a plaid shirt walked in, saw that there were already four people in the dormitory, and smiled at Xia Lan and the others.

"Hello, Comrade Liu Xiaohong, I am Xia Lan, welcome."

Xia Lan nodded to Liu Xiaohong.

"Hello, I am Sultan."

The Sultan also stepped forward and smiled.

"My name is Zhao Pandi. Hello, Comrade Liu Xiaohong."

Zhao Pandi looked at Liu Xiaohong and smiled.

Liu Xiaohong glanced at the dark-skinned Zhao Pandi, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes.

He glanced at the haughty Wu Shishi without leaving a trace, and his eyes lit up.

"And who is this comrade?"

Xia Lan glanced indifferently at Liu Xiaohong, whose gaze toward Wu Shishi was filled with eagerness.

"Wu Shishi".

Wu Shishi frowned slightly when she saw the way Liu Xiaohong looked at her.

She was all too familiar with that look in her eyes.

"What just happened? I heard a bit of noise at the door, so I didn't dare come in."

Liu Xiaohong, carrying her luggage, walked to Wu Shishi's side and asked with a smile.

"What a coincidence, Comrade Wu Shishi, I'm in the bunk above you."
