"Yanwan, when are you planning to go home?"
After the exam, the four sisters of 520a completely relaxed.
"It'll probably be at the end of the year," Lin Yanwan said with a hint of helplessness.
Qitian Animation is at a crucial stage of development, and Jiang Xia is the company's boss, so there's no way the two of them could go home early.
“That’s true, you and your boyfriend still have to go to work. What about Qiu Ting?” Cui Jiaying nodded and asked.
Tang Qiuting glanced at Lin Yanwan subconsciously. Although she really wanted to go back and see her grandmother, she also had to work. This was a good opportunity to earn some money so she could buy New Year's goods and new clothes for her grandmother when she went back for the Spring Festival.
"Sister Jiaying, I won't be going back until the end of the year either," Qiuting whispered.
"Okay, so it's just Sisi and me going back, right? In that case, the dorm room is yours!"
Cui Jiaying blinked. "Oh, wait, Yan Wan is definitely going back to her love nest to spend some time alone with Jiang the handsome guy, which means Qiu Ting will be all alone in the dorm. Qiu Ting, why don't you talk to your brother Su and ask him to take you back to stay for a while? He's a real Beijing native, you know~"
Qiu Ting blushed and said, "Sister Jiaying, Brother Su and I are just friends. Besides, I can stay in the dormitory, and I'm not afraid to be alone."
"Okay, okay, I was just teasing you. Qiu Ting is the cutest~" Cui Jiaying chuckled.
Lin Yanwan looked at the two of them and asked, "When are you leaving?"
“My flight is on January 21st, and Yingying’s is on January 20th,” Si Si said.
"So fast..." Qiu Ting exclaimed softly. She had just finished her exams and had already booked her flight home.
“Since the tickets were bought online, you can just bring your ID cards to get your boarding passes,” Cui Jiaying said with a smile. “You can buy your tickets like this when you go home, but during the Spring Festival travel rush, it gets harder to buy plane tickets as the year draws to a close. You two should book your tickets in advance, otherwise it will be troublesome if you can’t go home for the New Year.”
"You've reminded me."
Lin Yanwan then remembered that the country's ticket booking system in this era was far less powerful than in later years. If the number of people booking online increased even slightly, the system could crash, resulting in countless people being stranded at train stations and airports every year when they were trying to go home for the Spring Festival.
She still remembers the unbearable Spring Festival travel rush of 2008. Even though she was a senior in high school at the time, she learned about the crisis from various information channels. Heavy snow blocked the roads, and hundreds of thousands of people were stranded at the train station for 11 days. She couldn't even imagine what the scene was like.
"Yes, I'll buy the tickets as soon as possible, you two don't need to worry."
"How about we go out for dinner tonight? And maybe sing some karaoke? It's the last get-together before the New Year, so let's have a good time!" Cui Jiaying suggested.
"Okay." Lin Yanwan nodded.
"Sister Jiaying, can I just eat? I won't go to karaoke," Qiuting said timidly.
She was just a little worried about the money. Even if all the expenses were split equally, it wouldn't be cheaper if it were divided among everyone. It would be better to save the money to buy rice and oil for her grandmother.
"That won't do!"
Cui Jiaying smiled and refused outright, "Qiu Ting, this is a dormitory activity, you have to participate."
"All right."
Qiu Ting sighed softly, hoping it wouldn't cost too much money.
"However, ladies, today is our private 520a party, so there's no need for boyfriends to show up, right?"
Cui Jiaying shook Lin Yanwan's arm and said pitifully, "Yanwan, we're sick of seeing couples like this. Can you spare us a little bit of time tonight? Have pity on us!"
Lin Yanwan was both amused and exasperated. "Okay, okay, I won't call him anymore, alright?"
"I don't believe you, put it in writing!"
Helpless, Lin Yanwan took out her phone and called Jiang Xia. "Gouzi, I'm having dinner with my roommate, so you don't need to worry about me."
"Can I participate?" Jiang Xia's voice came through the receiver.
"Hmph, of course not! Tonight's Yanwan is ours! Handsome Jiangxia, please have mercy~" Cui Jiaying shouted.
"Hmm... Your attitude is sincere, so I approve."
Lin Yanwan hung up the phone, looked up at Cui Jiaying, and asked helplessly, "Is this okay now?"
"Hehe, sure, sure!"
Lin Yanwan picked up the phone again and sent a text message to Jiang Xia: "I'll send you the exact location when we get to the restaurant. We might be going to karaoke tonight too."
Jiang Xia's gaze immediately sharpened. "If it's just the four of you girls going out, don't drink, understand? Safety first."
"Yes, I know that."
"That's good."
The four sisters had arranged a gathering for several nights in a row, but then went back to doing their own thing.
A little while later, Cui Jiaying's QQ messages kept popping up; someone was frantically trying to contact her.
[Zhuang Yu, Class 1, Business Administration] Cui, do you have time to come to Tsinghua University now?
【Cui Jiaying】? What?
[Zhuang Yu, Class 1, Business Administration] I just have something I want to say to you.
[Cui Jiaying] Why don't you just say it on QQ?
[Zhuang Yu, Class 1, Business Administration] You're right, but it doesn't seem quite right.
At this moment, Si Si leaned closer, and Cui Jiaying was so startled that her hand trembled, and she quickly closed the window.
Si Si “?”
What is it that's afraid I'll see?
"No, it was just a message in the class group chat." Cui Jiaying shook her head, stood up, and turned off her computer. "I'm going to the supermarket to buy some things now. Do you want me to bring anything?"
Lin Yanwan and Qiu Ting both shook their heads.
Seeing Cui Jiaying put on a scarf and go out, Si Si secretly followed her.
