Wang Jue took the packaging bag and said thank you.
Chu Chu quickly did a sit-up and got out of bed:
"Senior is so nice! Ai—cough, Qianbao, you must love your senior a lot!"
Ji Qing remained expressionless.
But in my mind, I muttered, "Do you need to tell me?"
She actually bought the dessert.
But what she bought was essentially what Ah Bei bought.
Besides, when Ah Bei paid for the fruit tea before, he also made her say that she bought it.
"I didn't expect you to come back first!"
Chu Chu accidentally got some cream on her fingers and was licking it as she said, "I thought Ma Jiaojiao would come back first."
Hasn't she replied yet?
"OK."
Chu Chu grinned wickedly: "Juejue, how about we divide her share among ourselves? Let's pretend nothing happened..."
Wang Jue hadn't said anything yet.
Ji Qingqian snatched back the small cream cake that was left in the packaging bag, and looked at Chu Chu with a stern gaze.
Chu Chu: "...No, I was just joking."
Ji Qingqian: "It doesn't seem like it."
Chu Chu pointed incredulously to her small nose and asked Wang Jue, "Jue, do I look like someone who would do such a bad thing?"
Wang Jue used a small plastic spoon to scoop up some cream, and she looked at Chu Chu very seriously:
“The word ‘like’ is not very precise.”
Chu Chu:…
Ji Qingqian added: "'吗' can also be removed."
Chu Chu was unhappy.
Chu Chu was a little upset.
Chu Chu climbed onto the bed alone, her back to the two of them, in silent protest.
Chu Chu secretly opened the cake and ate it secretly, so that they wouldn't see.
"snort!!"
The rain started again, then stopped, then started again, repeating this cycle several times.
Ji Qingqian remembered that Ma Jiaojiao left home later than her. She should have brought an umbrella in this kind of weather. Besides, it's normal for her to be a little late since she was going to see a movie.
So I wasn't worried.
After quite some time, Ji Qingqian had finished showering and her hair was almost dry.
The dormitory door was then reopened.
Ma Jiaojiao walked in carrying a slightly damp umbrella.
"Ma Jiaojiao, there's cake! It's a little gift from Senior Lu," Chu Chu immediately called out.
"Okay, thank you..."
Ma Jiaojiao didn't sound very happy; instead, she seemed a bit tired.
She tossed her umbrella by the door, glanced at the cake, then sat down in her chair and started typing on her phone.
Ji Qingqian felt that Ma Jiaojiao's condition was a bit strange.
She went out with her senior, just like she went out with Ah Bei. She should have been very happy when she came back.
But Ji Qingqian didn't know how to ask.
Fortunately, Chu Chu was born with a loud voice:
"What's wrong, Ma Jiaojiao? Did you break up with your senior?"
Ma Jiaojiao glared at her, and Chu Chu immediately realized she had said the wrong thing, muttering under her breath, "...No, no way?"
She was just joking, how could she guess so accurately?
Seeing this, Wang Jue immediately moved a chair over and sat down.
Ma Jiaojiao smiled weakly at Wang Jue: "It's okay... um, I'll tell you in a little while."
As he spoke, he started tapping on his phone again, clearly chatting with someone.
Ji Qingqian was somewhat bewildered.
The first thing she thought of was to ask Lu Yibei on WeChat.
Ah Bei said, "If someone doesn't want to talk about it, you shouldn't ask."
Ji Qingqian thought he was right.
The atmosphere froze in an awkward silence.
Ma Jiaojiao tapped on her phone for a while, and then a slight smile appeared on her lips, as if she was feeling better.
A moment later, she put her phone on the table, stood up, and began to examine the cake:
"Wow, this cake doesn't look cheap. Qingqian, please thank Senior Lu for me."
As she spoke, she took out the cake and said to her other roommates, "It's really nothing... I just had a little misunderstanding with my senior. Don't worry, we've already talked it out—"
Ji Qingqian nodded in relief.
She felt that Ma Jiaojiao was the most eloquent person in their dormitory and the best at resolving conflicts.
She couldn't help but wonder, what if she and Ah Bei had a little misunderstanding...
It seems like there's nothing I can do but cry.
…But thankfully, Ah Bei has a lot of ideas.
"You scared me to death." Chu Chu breathed a sigh of relief. "Then hurry up and eat, it's delicious."
Ma Jiaojiao nodded, then looked at Chu Chu in astonishment.
Chu Chu: "...How do you use your strength?"
Ma Jiaojiao: "I came back so late, and you didn't secretly eat my portion?"
Chu Chu: "What kind of image do you all have of me?!"
...
Another day of classes.
After completing their attendance duties, the 404 boy group stayed in their dormitory, except for Liu Jie, who was sent downstairs to pick up takeout.
A moment later, Liu Jie came up carrying Arui's packaging bag.
“Liaobei, your…”
He began dividing the spoils: "...Strong Americano."
"Fatty, your... extra strong Americano."
"Bamboo shoots, your... extra strong Americano."
Liu Jie looked at the remaining vanilla iced drink, then at the other three big kids.
The boys simultaneously took a sip of coffee, then simultaneously exhaled a large breath of stale air, and said:
"Grass!!"
Immediately afterwards, Lu Yibei continued typing while leaning against the table.
Fatty Hao would strum a few notes on his guitar every now and then, then go to the computer and pick up his headphones.
Zhao Xun remained with her legs tucked into the chair, sketching and revising on her graphics tablet.
Liu Jie felt that he was a good-for-nothing.
But it didn't matter; Liu Jie took a big sip of the Rena Ice.
—As long as I admit I'm trash, then I'm invincible.
"...Aren't you guys pushing yourselves too hard?"
Liu Jie asked the three of them. This situation had been going on for several days.
