The three went upstairs, but instead of going into the room, they secretly squatted on the balcony, watching the two downstairs with gossipy expressions.
Their little actions naturally did not escape the eyes of the two men.
"Your roommate?" Yan Nian looked away.
Meng Wan nodded.
"Did you enjoy your meal?" Yan Nian pinched her cheek, his tone full of doting affection. Her heart and eyes were only filled with the person before her.
"Not bad. By the way, I ran into Tang Qi and my older brother together, as well as Principal Lin's grandson, Lin Bai."
"Oh?" Yan Nian was also somewhat surprised. "Then it seems that the Tang family's affairs are not simple."
"How so?"
"Given Tang Qi's abilities, the Tang family couldn't possibly be getting increasingly depleted. Don't be fooled by its current prosperity; its foundation is almost empty. If Lin Bai and your elder brother are involved..."
Yan Nian frowned in thought, but his eyes caught sight of the bag in his hand.
"Oh right, that's not what I came here for. Here, take this." Yan Nian then remembered the important matter.
"What?" Before she could even finish speaking, Meng Wan had already taken the question.
"It's sunscreen. Military training starts tomorrow, and I noticed you didn't prepare anything. I picked out yours myself, and I had my assistant buy the one for your roommate. They're both from the same brand, but yours is a special deluxe edition."
Yan Nian specifically emphasized the difference between the two.
Meng Wan looked at him, but Yan Nian suddenly bent down and brought his face close to hers.
"So, can you give your boyfriend a reward?"
Meng Wan noticed that Yan Nian had recently taken a liking to the term 'boyfriend,' as if he wanted to emphasize the change in their relationship or assert his ownership.
She chuckled, not finding it annoying at all, but only thinking that her boyfriend was getting cuter and cuter.
Meng Wan planted a kiss on his cheek, but he was cunning and pressed her head down to correct the trajectory of the kiss.
"Are you satisfied now, boyfriend?" Meng Wan's eyes were slightly red, and her chest rose and fell slightly.
Yan Nian kissed his slightly swollen lips again and again, as if to comfort him.
"Very satisfied, girlfriend."
Meng Wan felt that Yan Nian had gone astray. At least when they first got together, he would blush even when holding hands, unlike now when he seemed so at ease.
"I'll go upstairs first. Are you going back to the company?"
"No, I'll go straight back to the villa."
Meng Wan pointed to her watch, said nothing, and just looked at him.
Yan Nian sighed, but smiled helplessly and placed his hand on her head.
"I understand. I promise I'll take a shower and go to bed as soon as I get back, and I won't step into the study at all."
Upon hearing this, Meng Wan nodded in satisfaction.
The two said goodbye reluctantly, and after going upstairs, they found that the three men were staring straight at her.
"Mwah mwah mwah." Guo Qingqing pouted, looking incredibly irritating, and Meng Wan actually did hit her.
She flicked Guo Qingqing's head, and the latter winced in pain, covering her lips and looking somewhat aggrieved.
"Aren't you afraid of getting bitten by mosquitoes in the middle of summer?"
As Meng Wan spoke, she handed the bags in her hand to them one by one.
"And what is this?"
Sunscreen.
"Each of these sunscreens alone is more expensive than all my cosmetics and skincare products combined," Lin Mi exclaimed, marveling at the extravagance of these wealthy people.
"Really...can I accept this?" Xu Jiaojiao was a little uneasy, feeling unworthy of the offer.
"Wow, I feel like I won't need to buy anything for four years of college," said Guo Qingqing, who only takes care of her skin and doesn't wear makeup.
"Take it, it's just a little trinket."
"Th...thank you." Xu Jiaojiao blushed slightly; this was her first cosmetic product ever.
Meng Wan's expression softened slightly. "Everyone's spending habits are different. It's much better to accept things openly than to fawn over someone out of inferiority or to reject them out of sensitivity. You've done a great job in that regard."
Xu Jiaojiao blushed even more; this was the first time she had ever received such affirmation.
At first, she did feel a bit resentful, thinking that the other party was a rich girl and might just be pitying her, but on the other hand, she felt that Meng Wan was not that kind of person.
But the two are indeed worlds apart in terms of status. She is also human and has witnessed the most despicable people. It is inevitable that dark thoughts would arise in her heart.
"If... if you don't mind, my hometown grows a lot of fruit, I'll bring you some next time."
"That's wonderful." Meng Wan always looked directly into Xu Jiaojiao's eyes when she spoke. Xu Jiaojiao used to look away, but now she was momentarily lost in thought when she met those beautiful and clear eyes.
"Me too! Me too!" Guo Qingqing and Lin Mi joined in the fun.
"Okay, I brought some this time, I'll share it with you later." Originally, her father had asked her to bring it to share with her roommates, but she was afraid that they wouldn't like it, so she didn't dare to give it to them.
As Meng Wan said, everyone has different spending levels, and it's much more comfortable to admit it openly than to force yourself to fit in.
The two weeks of military training passed quickly. Having endured this grueling training, apart from Meng Wan and Xu Jiaojiao, the other two were just one step away from ascending to heaven.
"Mimi, Qingqing, wake up, I've bought breakfast for you."
"Thank you, Jiaojiao," the two replied groggily.
"Can't pay up?" Meng Wan came in from outside as soon as she finished speaking.
Lin Mi got up, half-closing her eyes as she walked towards the washbasin, while Guo Qingqing was still on the bed complaining, groaning and looking pained.
"No way, what kind of school goes straight to class as soon as military training ends! Would it kill them to have a day off!"
"Stop wailing, just accept your fate." With the help of the others, Xu Jiaojiao's personality became much more cheerful, and she would sometimes tease the others, but her personality was still gentle.
"You two are really tough. One is a rich young lady, and the other looks malnourished and thin. How come you are perfectly fine? One gets up early to go for a morning run, and the other gets up early to eat breakfast."
Lin Mi brushed her teeth, her speech somewhat slurred. She stood with one hand on her hip, utterly perplexed.
“Back in my hometown, I had to do farm work. It was common to work in the fields during the hot summer. Military training was just standing in the sun as punishment, so it wasn’t tiring at all.”
"I've had physical training since I was a child, so I'm used to it."
"Good heavens." Guo Qingqing shook her head, completely giving up.
Fortunately, although they got up late, Guo Qingqing was quick, and the four of them soon left the dormitory.
"Oh, your boyfriend is here again." Lin Mi, with her sharp eyes, nudged Meng Wan.
"Wait me a moment."
The three of them held hands, watching Meng Wan's retreating figure.
"I'm so envious! Which direction should I kowtow to in order to get a boyfriend like that?"
"A wise man doesn't fall in love. I just want to know which way to stumble so I can be reborn as Meng Wan in my next life." After spending half a month together, Lin Mi shed her aloof exterior, leaving only her humorous inner self.
"You can't envy someone who's too outstanding; all that's left is admiration." When someone is far more outstanding than you, the urge to compare yourself to them disappears.
Xu Jiaojiao truly understood the essence of this sentence.
Ignoring her roommates' envy, Meng Wan walked towards Yan Nian.
Yan Nian is tall and striking, and standing downstairs in the girls' dormitory, she naturally attracts a lot of attention.
But he just kept his head down, holding the bag in his hand, waiting for the person he wanted to see to come down, looking incredibly obedient.
