Ji Qingqian had just arrived at her dormitory.
Lu Yibei sent her a message right after they parted ways downstairs in the dormitory.
[Abei: If possible]
[Abei: Please apologize to Ma Jiaojiao for me]
Ji Qingqian smiled coldly:
“o勾八k”
She pushed the door open and entered.
After Chu Chu and Wang Jue were the only two left at their table, they paid the bill and packed up the skewers, bringing them all back with them.
"Two people eating enough for seven... Ah, Jue, I can't eat anymore..." Chu Chu complained as she ate.
"...My stomach is about to burst," Wang Jue said. "How about we invite the dorm next door to come over and eat?"
"No, I paid for it, why should others eat it?" Chu Chu argued.
"Has Ma Jiaojiao not returned yet?" Ji Qingqian asked.
Chu Chu devoured the beef skewers with all her might. She blinked, exclaimed "Ah!", and quickly pulled out a few tissues to wipe her mouth clean. "I haven't gone back yet."
"It's almost time to close the dorms," Ji Qingqian said.
She and Ah Bei had some errands to run outside, and it was quite late when they got back.
"Yeah."
Chu Chu said, then quietly gestured to Ji Qingqian, "Shall I call her?"
"Okay," Ji Qingqian said.
Chu Chu hummed in agreement and picked up her phone from the bed.
But before the call could be made, he put it down again.
"Ji Qingqian, do you remember when we first met?"
Ji Qingqian thought for a moment, and just as Chu Chu was about to speak again, she said, "I forgot."
Chu Chu:…
No! How could I forget!
In her mind, Ji Qingqian should say "I remember" at this point so that their conversation could continue!
"It's about me wanting to switch beds with Juejue, but Juejue was too embarrassed to say no, and you came to argue with me about it," Chu Chu reminded her.
Ji Qingqian pondered again: "It seems like there is such a thing."
"That's exactly what happened!"
Chu Chu said, then coughed twice: "...You're right. You stopped me when I did something wrong, so don't be soft-hearted with Ma Jiaojiao this time either, or I'll be unhappy—it'll feel like I'm the only one being treated differently."
Ji Qingqian stared at Chu Chu.
Chu Chu took a deep breath and said, as if revealing her innermost thoughts:
"What happened today was indeed very awkward, but it wasn't your fault, nor was it Ma Jiaojiao's fault... You know what I mean, right? I don't want you two to have a cold war later, making the atmosphere in the dormitory very awkward... I hate that kind of thing. Rather than that, it's better to strike while the iron is hot and say everything that needs to be said and scolded. I'm on your side. If Jiaojiao blames you for this, I'll help you."
She had a premonition.
The dormitory won't be harmonious today.
But for the sake of the future, we still have to have this argument today.
"If we get too into a fight, Juejue, remember to pull us apart. We can argue, but we absolutely cannot hit each other."
Chu Chu warned Ji Qingqian: "I'm afraid you'll punch Ma Jiaojiao!"
Ji Qingqian raised her clenched fist without saying a word.
Chu Chu took this as a tacit agreement and started calling Ma Jiaojiao again.
"...What are you talking about?"
Before the call could even be made, Ma Jiaojiao squeezed through the door: "I think I heard my name mentioned."
Chu Chu: "Eek!"
Although she spoke eloquently, she was actually a little flustered inside.
When Ma Jiaojiao suddenly appeared without any preparation, it really startled her.
But then, Chu Chu felt…
That's not quite right.
Ma Jiaojiao held a bouquet of bright red roses, a smile playing on her lips, looking nothing like someone who had come to argue.
She first placed the flowers on the cabinet, then turned to Ji Qingqian, her expression becoming serious.
Chu Chu swallowed hard.
Should we begin?
result,
"I'm sorry, Qingqian."
Ma Jiaojiao readily apologized: "I don't know what kind of nonsense Zheng Yi's friend was thinking today, he was such an idiot—I wanted to scold him too, but it was my boyfriend's birthday after all… Thank goodness Lu showed up in time, I'm sorry you had to suffer—please apologize to Lu for me as well."
"He also asked me to apologize to you," Ji Qing said calmly.
Ma Jiaojiao was taken aback, then laughed:
"No, there's nothing to apologize for from Senior Lu... I actually feel indebted to him. But to be honest, it was a bit of a shock that Senior Lu knew people on the basketball team. But thankfully, I don't think Senior Lu is the type to resort to violence... By the way, you guys paid for the barbecue, right? How much was it? I'll transfer the money to you... and give me some to eat too, I'm starving."
Chu Chu rolled her eyes: "Let's split the bill, don't you not have much living expenses left?"
"It's okay, it's okay, Senior Zheng Yi asked me to get married." Ma Jiaojiao explained, "That's just how he is, he gets carried away in front of his friends... Luckily, Senior Lu knows his limits."
She complimented Lu Yibei a couple of times, then picked up a skewer of beef and started eating.
"By the way, what were you guys talking about? Was it related to me?"
"without."
Ji Qingqian pointed at Chu Chu with her hand: "It's because Chu Chu is afraid we'll quarrel."
Ma Jiaojiao's eyes showed disdain:
"She doesn't think I have the same temper as her, does she?"
“I think so too,” Ji Qingqian said.
Chu Chu: "You...you guys!"
These two actually turned against each other!!
It's infuriating—but thinking about it carefully, it's not so infuriating after all; it's better than the two of us actually arguing.
Thinking about it this way, Chu Chu actually felt relieved.
She looked at the bouquet of bright red roses with a bittersweet feeling:
"Did Zheng Yi give it to you?"
Ma Jiaojiao didn't answer, but simply smiled and asked, "Isn't it pretty?"
