The winter vacation is over soon and it's time to go back to school. Ruan Qiqi's happy life of having everything provided for her is also about to end.

Lu Ye wanted her to rest at home, but Ruan Qiqi disagreed. Pregnant women need to move around, otherwise delivery will be difficult, and she didn't want to have a difficult delivery.

A new semester brings new atmosphere. There are two fewer students in the class because they were sent back by the school due to unsatisfactory results in the final exam of the previous semester.

The cruel reality has put more pressure on everyone, so the learning atmosphere in the school is very strong when the school just starts. Everyone is like they are full of energy. Even late at night, you can still see students studying under street lights in the corridor.

There were six people in dormitory 309, and no one was missing. Xu Erfeng and Li Yuqin's grades were average in the class. They were all very grateful to He Aihong, and brought her a lot of home-cooked food, as well as some for Ruan Qiqi and the others.

"These scrapings were dried by my mother. Don't worry about eating them. They are very clean."

Xu Erfeng took out a bag of sweet potato slices sprinkled with sesame seeds. In fact, she wrote home last semester and asked her mother to dry them. She also sent money home, otherwise her mother would not be so easy to talk to.

The people in the dormitory helped her a lot, and she couldn't give anything else good, so she brought some rural specialties to thank her classmates.

Li Yuqin brought a lot of things, including a large bottle of fermented bean curd, a bottle of beef sauce, dried sweet potatoes, and crispy meat, which filled the table.

"My mom made the fermented bean curd and hot sauce. They are especially delicious when stuffed with steamed buns. My mother-in-law fried the crispy pork and dried sweet potatoes. Come on and eat."

Ruan Qiqi took a piece of crispy meat and ate it. It tasted really good, so she ate several pieces.

She also ate a lot of Xu Erfeng's scrapes.

Shangguan Qing also brought a lot of snacks from Yangcheng, while He Aihong brought several bottles of cooked vegetables, braised pork, stir-fried pork, etc., all made by her mother.

"They're all delicious. I'll treat you to dinner."

Ruan Qiqi didn't bring any food, not because she didn't have any, but because she forgot.

It was my first time going to college and also my first time living in a dormitory, so I had no experience.

"Then I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow night."

Xia Tao didn't have one either. She spent the entire winter vacation eating here and there and couldn't even get hot water to drink.

"There's no need to go to a restaurant. It's a waste of money. Just eat in the cafeteria."

He Aihong opposed extravagance and waste, but Xia Tao silenced her with a piece of crispy meat.

No one else had any objections. Even if they went to a restaurant, they wouldn't order too expensive dishes. Everyone was very tactful.

On the first day of school, the class teacher gave each student a transcript of the previous semester and said some words of encouragement. The transcript was put in an envelope and distributed to everyone.

Ruan Qiqi opened the envelope and found that her grades were almost the same as she expected, with each subject scoring between 60 and 70, which was average in the class.

Xu Erfeng, Li Yuqin and Shangguan Qing are about the same. The one with the best grades is He Aihong, who is ranked first in the class.

All of this was within Ruan Qiqi's expectations. He Aihong had a good foundation in studies and worked hard, so it was normal for her to be number one.

But there was one person whose results surprised her greatly, and that person was Xia Tao.

"Why did you get 75 in this subject?"

Ruan Qiqi questioned in a low voice. Xia Tao almost relied on the Buddha and copied her, especially in this subject, she copied almost from beginning to end, but she only scored 68. Although it was a very good number, it was seven points lower than Xia Tao. She was very unhappy.

The person who copied actually got a higher score than her. Is this justice?

"I changed a few places, in case it looks exactly like you."

Xia Tao explained proudly that it was indeed her who was the best at everything.

Ruan Qiqi glared at her angrily and took the report card, but the more she thought about it, the more unconvinced she became, so she said, "You have to treat me to three meals, one meal is not enough!"

"Why?"

Xia Tao was reluctant to do so as three meals would cost a lot of money.

"There are exams this semester, so you decide!"

Ruan Qiqi sneered, what a stingy guy!

Xia Tao was choked and had to agree, but he was only willing to invite her alone, and at most add Shangguan Qing, because she would feel sad if there were more.

"It's better to share happiness with others than to enjoy it alone. I'm not used to eating alone. If you want to treat everyone in the dormitory, please treat them together. Starting from tomorrow night, I'll treat you three meals in a row!"

Ruan Qiqi would not let her go so easily. She was already very kind by not asking her to treat her to seven meals.

Xia Tao gritted her teeth and agreed.

"I have good news. Xia Tao lost the bet with me. She has fulfilled her promise and will treat all of us in the dormitory to three meals a day starting tomorrow night. Applause!"

Ruan Qiqi announced the good news loudly and led the applause.

Shangguan Qing reacted the fastest and also applauded.

Xu Erfeng and the others hesitated for a few seconds, then followed suit.

Xia Tao gritted her teeth. She had originally planned to return the bicycle to Ruan Qiqi when school started, but now she decided to wait until Ruan Qiqi gave birth to the baby.

There was also a happy event this semester: He Aihong got promoted.

That’s not right. To be precise, the burden on her shoulders has become heavier.

The class teacher learned about what happened to Chang Yufeng last semester and removed him from his position as class monitor. Unable to find a suitable student for the time being, he asked the hardworking He Aihong to take on the role concurrently. So this semester He Aihong held two important positions, both class monitor and secretary.

When the class instructor made the announcement, He Aihong couldn't suppress her serious expression and almost laughed out loud on the spot.

Her father was right, gold will shine no matter where it goes, and talents like her will be discovered by the teacher sooner or later.

"Should we call you Squad Leader He or Secretary He from now on?"

Ruan Qiqi teased her deliberately.

"It will be all right."

He Aihong wanted to be serious, but she couldn't hide the joy on her face.

Ruan Qiqi found it funny. This girl was too obsessed with power. However, there were also advantages. A career brain was hundreds of times stronger than a love brain. Thousands of years of history proved that career was the most suitable partner for women.

Chang Yufeng has been much more low-key this semester, not as keen on showing off as he was last semester. The female classmates who used to be close to him have also become distant from him. The whole school knows that he has a rude and overbearing rural wife and three children. Moreover, this rural wife is very fierce and will come to the school to make trouble. No female classmate dares to play with him.

In the evening, Ruan Qiqi invited everyone to a restaurant near the school for dinner. Xia Tao treated everyone for the next three days. They had four days of feasting. Xu Erfeng joked, "I've had more food in these four days than I've had in the past four years combined. I can be considered to have lived a comfortable life ahead of time!"

"That's not the point. Your good days are still ahead!" Ruan Qiqi said with a smile.

"Isn't this good enough? God, I don't have to eat out every day. As long as I can eat meat every other day, I'll feel so happy."

Xu Erfeng's tone was a little exaggerated, but she was speaking from her heart.

In her opinion, life is good as long as she can eat meat.

"Me too. I don't have to eat every other day. I'm happy enough to eat it once every three days." Li Yuqin agreed.

"You will get tired of eating meat and fish in the future, and just want to eat sweet potatoes, potatoes and vegetables."

Ruan Qiqi was talking about her life in her previous life. Her parents were like that. They ate boiled vegetables at home every day and could hardly eat meat once a month.

"How can I get tired of eating meat? Qiqi, you are such a joker."

Xu Erfeng and Li Yuqin didn't understand. They had only seen people complaining about not having enough meat, but had never seen anyone complaining about having too much meat.

Ruan Qiqi smiled and said nothing more. She said that they would understand it in at most thirty years.

The busy and fulfilling study life passed quickly, and Ruan Qiqi's belly grew bigger and bigger. In the blink of an eye, it was April and the cherry blossoms on the mountain were in full bloom.

The cherry blossoms in the Land of Sakura have also bloomed. The Kikuno family and the Fukuyama family held a grand wedding that was known throughout the country. Television stations and newspapers all reported on the wedding, and countless reporters were guarding the wedding scene.
