Fatty Hao, wearing noise-canceling headphones, couldn't hear it.
Liu Jie heard this and elbowed him.
Fatty: "...Oh, oh oh."
He took off his headphones and, as Sun'er had instructed, sat to Ma Jiaojiao's left.
Hao Zhangwen thought Zhao Xun wanted him to lend him a hand, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly, never expecting that even Xun'er, the king of verbal sparring, would have such a day.
But Zhao Xun didn't speak to him. Instead, she subtly looked through him to his left.
Ma Jiaojiao noticed Zhao Sun's unusual behavior.
"…Um?"
“I advise you not to watch it,” Zhao Sun said.
"What?" Ma Jiaojiao didn't understand.
“If you’re disgusted, don’t blame me for not warning you,” Zhao Xun added.
Ma Jiaojiao: ...
She turned her head to look over there.
Without Zhao Xun needing to remind her, she spotted that familiar—or rather, once-familiar—figure.
He was a boy with a side-parted hairstyle, wearing a Western-style trench coat, somewhat similar to a suit, and dressed quite elegantly.
Ma Jiaojiao paused for a moment, then noticed that the boy still had his arm around the girl's waist.
The girl has fair skin, is quite slender, and has permed and dyed dark gold hair with a wavy texture.
The girl was facing the boy, and from Ma Jiaojiao's perspective, all they could see was her back.
but…
Ma Jiaojiao thought to herself, "She must be quite pretty."
"Um?"
Fatty Hao followed Ma Jiaojiao's gaze and locked onto her left side.
It's said to be on the left, but there are actually many seats in between, though those seats are all empty.
"Who?" Hao Zhangwen asked.
Zhao Xun glanced at Ma Jiaojiao, who was still somewhat dazed after withdrawing her gaze:
"Should you speak, or should I speak for you—"
Before Ma Jiaojiao could even finish her sentence with a "Huh?", Zhao Xun continued:
"Fine, I'll tell you for you—this guy's ex-boyfriend, his name is Zheng... what's his name again?"
Ma Jiaojiao sighed helplessly: "...Zheng Yi. I'm telling you, senior, you should change your habit of not remembering other people's faults."
Zhao Sun clicked his tongue:
"other people'."
That requires a talented person.
…Thinking about it this way, I should really remember Han Guohua's name.
The crime is too serious.
Upon hearing this, Liu Jie, who had been focused on playing the game, immediately turned his attention to it and then commented sharply:
"My assessment is that it's not even worth a single hair of my bamboo shoot."
Zhao Xun said calmly, "That's an insult to Mao."
Hao Zhangwen understood.
No wonder Zhao Xun asked him to sit over there.
Although there was a distance between them, it was still an empty seat.
If he doesn't sit down next to her, then Xiao Ma will have to face her ex-boyfriend directly—Lao Bei and Sun'er had explained his story to them before.
After the science explanation, the ex-boyfriend was immediately relegated to the "humanoid creature zone" by the 404 boy group.
He smiled at Ma Jiaojiao.
Ma Jiaojiao could sense the kindness of this chubby senior.
"It's okay, what's past is past," she said.
Hao Zhangwen found this sentence quite familiar; it seemed that Lao Bei had said something similar before.
Ma Jiaojiao is actually a very special case.
What's special is that, from the perspective of the girls' dormitory, she is a "failure" Ji Qingqian.
At least that was the case in my previous relationship.
For the sake of the one in her heart, she performed exceptionally well and was admitted to Jiangnan University.
Unfortunately, the one she was meant for wasn't Lu Yibei.
However, this is not the case for the 404 boy group.
Ma Jiaojiao's boyfriend was indeed not Lu Yibei.
Because Ma Jiaojiao herself is Lu Yibei.
For the men's dormitory, her romantic life trajectory was almost identical to Lu Yibei's.
Because of his good relationship with Lao Bei, he had seen him in his miserable state.
Therefore, both Hao Zhangwen and Liu Jie would sympathize with him.
This was partly the reason why Zhao Xun, who was usually indifferent, would lend a helping hand to him on that rainy day.
"Nobody cares if you're alright."
Zhao Xun said coldly, glancing over there before scoffing, "Bad luck, forgot to check the almanac before leaving home."
Liu Jie observed for a while longer and then asked a question:
"He has a new girlfriend... Oh, I'm sorry."
Even he realized that he shouldn't have brought this up in front of Ma Jiaojiao.
Ma Jiaojiao answered quite readily: "Right?"
Fatty Hao said, "You have terrible taste."
In fact, they still couldn't see what the girl looked like.
However, since he was on Ma Jiaojiao's side, Hao Zhangwen didn't mind saying a few bad things about this stranger behind her back.
Ma Jiaojiao smiled.
Hao Zhangwen added:
"Junior Sister Ma has much better taste than him. Brother Jie finally said something sensible this year, 'Not even as good as a single hair of my bamboo shoot.'"
Liu Jie: "...Should I agree?"
Ma Jiaojiao quickly said, "Zhao Sun and I aren't..."
That's not that kind of relationship.
She had intended to say that, but Fatty Hao interrupted her without asking:
"We should use special methods to deal with bad guys—it doesn't matter if we lie to them. If God knows, He will support us in punishing evil and promoting good."
Ma Jiaojiao glanced at Zhao Xun cautiously.
Zhao Xun chuckled:
“I didn’t get to vent my anger on him before. If he does anything, I don’t mind giving him another dressing down.”
Ma Jiaojiao remained silent, but then chuckled softly.
"But what's he doing here?"
Zhao Xun muttered, "Did the student council's actions really attract all sorts of monsters and freaks? —Are these guys also after credits?!"
…
No.
Zheng Yi had absolutely no interest in academic credits.
He came to watch the Computer Science basketball team make a fool of themselves.
He hadn't forgotten the grudge he'd formed with the basketball team at the barbecue restaurant!
Unfortunately, the captain of the computer science basketball team also had a limp.
It was truly a stroke of luck for him.
After the game, he could say frankly that these muscle-dead idiots were far better at talking than at playing ball!
Zheng Yi smiled gloomily, while his hand gently caressed his girlfriend's slender waist.
