Chapter 212 Hmm, very calm.
"Oh, if you don't care, then you don't care. Little Peach Blossom, let's go to the school shop later and see if there's anything else we want to buy." The senior students had given them detailed introductions beforehand, so they weren't completely clueless about the school. Of course, they still needed to explore it themselves to get familiar with it.
“Okay, Brother Song Yi.” Little Peach Blossom nodded naturally.
"Hmm." Song Yi was satisfied, but couldn't help sighing inwardly as usual. Why couldn't he and Xiao Taohua be a couple? He really was like an older brother to him, oh well, an older brother after all. Then he turned to Lin Xiaoguang, who had been silently tidying up, "Xiaoguang, will we do it together later, okay?"
"Okay, I understand." Lin Xiaoguang nodded, then continued to tidy up his personal belongings.
Watching the group chat so familiarly, Feng Ran said with a hint of envy, "You all seem to know each other very well."
She didn't know anyone here when she arrived; everyone around her was a stranger. The only person she knew was Huang Ying, whom she had just met in her dorm.
“We all know each other from the same production team, and we even grew up together.” Li Zhen raised an eyebrow. “So, Xiao Taohua can tell us anything. If she’s been bullied, she should definitely tell us, and we’ll help her get revenge.”
Feng Ran was genuinely envious, but also a little jealous: "That's great."
Huang Ying nodded in agreement. That's great.
This way, you won't be afraid when you come to an unfamiliar place, because you'll have your childhood friends around you.
Why can't they have such good luck?
Envy, jealousy, and hatred—but that's all.
Liu Jiayi, unwilling to be ignored, started seeking attention again: "What's so great about it? They're just a bunch of country bumpkins. Humph, I'm from the capital!"
Li Zhen and the others were too lazy to pay attention to her, acting as if they hadn't heard her at all: "By the way, have you guys eaten? Want to go out for lunch together? It's on us." Being new to the place, and sharing a dorm with Xiao Taohua, they didn't have any ill feelings towards them, especially Xiao Taohua, and they figured it wouldn't hurt to build a good relationship. As for the other one, oh well, don't worry about her.
"No need, no need, we brought our own pickled vegetables, we'll make do with that."
"No, no need."
Both of them shook their heads.
It's impolite to accept someone else's meal at this time, unless you're very familiar with them. However, they've only just met. If they become familiar or even good friends later, that would be fine, but not now.
"Oh, I see. We were thinking of going together to have some fun," Li Zhen said with some regret.
"No, but thank you for inviting us anyway," Feng Ran said.
"Don't mention it, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future." Song Yi didn't seem to have any regrets.
"Hmph, you country bumpkin, offering to treat us? I think you're just offering us pickled vegetables!"
Still no one paid any attention to her. Liu Jiayi glared at him angrily, but at that moment Lin Xiaoguang finished packing: "Let's go, I'm all packed."
"You've worked hard." Li Zhen walked over and patted him on the shoulder. Lin Xiaoguang smiled, looking a little simple-minded.
"Then we'll be going now." Song Yi waved his hand, and Xiao Taohua waved back to everyone. The group left the dormitory in a hurry.
"Hmph, what kind of people are they!" Liu Jiayi spat. Still, no one paid her any attention, which made her even angrier! She couldn't help but start making noise, staring at Xiao Taohua's bed as if she wanted to do something, but finally turned her gaze to the locked cabinet. Hmph, she wasn't the kind of person who would steal.
He reluctantly spread his blanket on the top bunk and reluctantly packed his things, pouting the whole time. He was clearly very aggrieved, but he also muttered to himself the whole time. He didn't actually do anything outrageous, so he must have been threatened.
Even Feng Ran and Huang Ying were prepared for the young lady to throw a tantrum, but this is what happened? This is what happened?!
Hmm, that's good. It seems there won't be any major conflicts in the dorm anymore.
The two looked at each other and smiled, which was a relief.
Yes, they were genuinely worried about serious problems arising in the dorm, which would disrupt their studies. So far, aside from Liu Jiayi causing a bit of trouble, the new girl, Xiao Taohua, seemed to have a very nice personality—well-behaved and sweet, like a girl next door.
Like a girl next door, Xiao Taohua followed Li Zhen and his group out of the dormitory. Li Zhen stared at Xiao Taohua and began to tutor her, telling her things like not to be bullied, to seek help from them if she couldn't fight back, and to be more careful in the future if her roommate was not good. He basically told her everything that should be told and everything that shouldn't be told.
"Actually, I think my roommates are all pretty good." This is what Xiao Taohua said when Li Zhen took a breath at the end.
Li Zhen almost fainted from shock.
"Everything is fine, that's because they haven't touched on any interests yet. It would be great if they chose you someday when something really happens. Well, you'll know when you encounter this situation. Of course, I also hope they are the kind of people who would side with you if something came up." It wasn't that Li Zhen wanted to say anything harsh, but after all, being so far from home and surrounded by strangers, it was only right to be more cautious.
The word "good person" isn't written on their face, nor is it truly written in their heart. Many bad people might even do bad things in a flash of inspiration, making it impossible to guard against them.
"Why are you being so fierce!" Song Yi was dissatisfied with Li Zhen's attitude. Even if he was lecturing, he shouldn't be so rude.
"How am I being fierce? I'm doing this for Xiao Taohua's sake. She's so innocent, what if she gets tricked?" Li Zhen looked down on Song Yi. When they were little, Song Yi would tug at Xiao Taohua's clothes and follow her around, always grinning and not saying a word. Later, when he grew up, he did learn to talk, but in Li Zhen's eyes, he was still the Song Yi who needed Xiao Taohua's protection.
He didn't even consider someone like Song Yi worthy of his attention.
What truly made Li Zhen remember Song Yi was that Song Yi had once confessed his feelings to Xiao Taohua. Although he was rejected, Li Zhen still couldn't stand the sight of him.
Even rabbits don't eat the grass near their burrows, he's not even as good as a rabbit!
"Then can't you be a little gentler?" Song Yi said.
"So what if I'm like this!"
"I……"
"What? You want to fight? Even though you've learned some martial arts, do you think you can beat me?" Li Zhen proudly raised his head.
Song Yi: ...
He can't beat him.
"Alright, stop arguing, we've arrived at the shop," Little Peach Blossom said at the right moment.
Well, she's not a hypocrite, she doesn't whine and cry to get attention and then argue for her. Little Peach Blossom doesn't have that kind of intention; she simply feels they've arrived at the shop and it's time to buy something. As for why Li Zhen and Song Yi are arguing, well, it's always been like this since they were little, they're used to it.
At first, Xiao Taohua would try to break up the fight or something, but now, she's used to it and doesn't find it strange anymore.
Hmm, very calm.
"Forget it, I can't reason with you. Let's buy something, Little Peach Blossom." Li Zhen snorted and led the way into the small shop.
Song Yi also turned his head to the side. It was because of Li Zhen that Song Yi often regretted that he didn't have time to play with Xiao Taohua. Most of his time was occupied by Li Zhen. At that time, he still had to go to school. Well, it's all tears when I talk about it. Even if he didn't go to school, he would always be one step behind.
