"I've never seen people like you who like to meddle in other people's business so much. What does the matter between Jinxi and me have to do with you? Jinxi is willing to treat me to a meal, but I think you just can't get one yourself, so you're jealous, right?" Meng Ziyu said sarcastically.

"Jinxi seems reluctant, can't you see it with your blind eyes?" Zheng Xinyue glared at her.

Hearing her say this, Meng Ziyu looked at Qiao Jinxi, “Tell me, do you want to treat me to a meal?”

Zheng Xinyue also looked at Qiao Jinxi, "Don't be afraid, if you don't want to invite her, just refuse. At worst, you can just change dormitories and stop living with her."

Yang Niannian didn’t say anything, but her eyes were also on Qiao Jinxi. As long as Qiao Jinxi dared to resist bravely, she would definitely not watch Meng Ziyu bullying others in the dormitory in the future.

Qiao Jinxi didn't expect that they would argue about this matter and finally kick the ball to herself.

She bit her lip, hesitated for a long time, and then habitually played the role of a good person.

"I have made some money from my part-time job recently, so it is only right that I treat Tzuyu to a meal."

Although it hurts, Qiao Jinxi is not used to being alone every day. If she breaks up with Meng Ziyu, she will be alone in the cafeteria in the future.

After weighing the pros and cons, she decided to maintain her relationship with Meng Ziyu.

Meng Ziyu looked at Zheng Xinyue and Yang Niannian proudly, “Did you hear that? It was Jinxi who wanted to treat me to a meal.”

Zheng Xinyue was furious. "Eat, eat, eat, I'll stuff you to death."

She didn't want to pay any attention to Qiao Jinxi at all, so she turned around and sat on the chair to read.

Yang Niannian frowned and looked at Qiao Jinxi and said, "I wanted to help you this time because you were very helpful in cleaning the dormitory. There won't be a next time."

The dormitory was cleaned on a daily basis, with each person taking turns, but Qiao Jinxi was more diligent and often cleaned for Meng Ziyu, and occasionally helped them.

Yang Niannian didn't want to owe anyone a favor, so even though she helped Qiao Jinxi, it was also a fact that Qiao Jinxi would often take the initiative to help everyone take away the garbage that had not been thrown away yet.

Qiao Jinxi felt awkward and stood there at a loss as to what to do.

Meng Ziyu, however, looked very proud, “I’m going to the bathroom, and when I come back, we’ll go eat yellow chicken stewed rice.”

After saying that, he looked at Yang Niannian provocatively.

Qiao Jinxi said, "Let's go now?"

“I haven’t had lunch yet. If I don’t go now, when will I go?” Meng Ziyu said this and went out.

Qiao Jinxi regretted agreeing to the deal a little bit. She didn’t know how much a serving of braised chicken rice cost as she had never even tried it.

After making sure Meng Ziyu was far away, she bit her lip and walked up to Yang Niannian, and asked carefully, “Niannian, Xinyue, are you angry?”

Before the two could say anything, she said pitifully, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to disappoint you just now. I was afraid that you would quarrel, so I agreed to treat Tzuyu to a meal."

Why does this sound a bit weird?

How did inviting Meng Ziyu to dinner become a consideration for the overall situation?

It sounded as if she wouldn't agree to treat me to dinner unless we had a quarrel.

Yang Niannian found it a little funny. She didn't even look at Qiao Jinxi and said indifferently.

“No need to apologize, you invited Meng Ziyu to dinner, it’s your money, it has nothing to do with us, as long as you are willing.”

Zheng Xinyue replied unhappily, "That's right. Anyway, we won't meddle in other people's business anymore, so as to avoid being taken for granted."

Qiao Jinxi's eyes turned red and she spoke in a crying voice.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I didn't mean to do that. I was just afraid that Tzuyu might get used to it and wouldn't dare to resist her."

Yang Niannian hates people who are too cowardly, and even more so those who cry when something happens, she frowned and said.

"Since you don't dare to resist, just bear it silently!"

"That's right, don't expect us to help you." Zheng Xinyue snorted.

Seeing that the two were angry at the moment, Qiao Jinxi didn't bother to please them. She sat on Meng Ziyu's bed and waited for a while. When she saw that they came back, they went out to eat braised chicken rice together.

As soon as the two of them left, a senior schoolmate they knew knocked on the door and brought something.

"Niannian, Senior Yu has been downstairs for a while. It seems like he has something to ask you. Go down and take a look!"

"OK, thanks!"

Yang Niannian put on her military coat and trotted downstairs. Yu Sui was standing under a big tree. The female students passing by couldn't help but steal a glance at him, and some were even whispering about who he was waiting for.

She trotted over and said, "Senior Yu, have you been waiting for a long time?"

Seeing her come out, Yu Sui breathed a sigh of relief, "It wasn't long. I came here this time to talk to you about the house. My relative will be coming by train tomorrow. Do you have classes the day after tomorrow morning? The procedures are very quick and can be completed in one morning."

There were too many girls passing by, and he felt uncomfortable being stared at. He just wanted to finish his business and leave.

Yang Niannian's eyes sparkled. "I don't have classes. Even if I do, I can take a day off. It depends on your relative's schedule."

The sooner the house was transferred, the more at ease she felt. Although Yu Sui's relative agreed to sell the house and she had paid the property tax, something unexpected could happen at any time if the house was not transferred.

Yu Sui already knew about Yang Niannian's "making friends out of thin air" incident, but he was just curious as to why she wanted to buy a house so urgently.

"Are you in a hurry to move in? The house is seriously damaged. It will take at least a month to renovate it before people can move in."

Yang Niannian smiled brightly, "To be honest, I don't get along with my roommates, and I've wanted to move out for a long time. Once the transfer procedures for the house are completed, I'll find someone to renovate it, and when school starts next year, we should be able to move in."

She asked openly, "Senior Yu, could you spare some time to help supervise the work? You don't have to go every day, just one or two times will be enough."

Yu Sui agreed immediately, "No problem."

"Thank you in advance! I said I would treat you to a meal last time, but I haven't found the time. Let's go have a meal together during the holidays." Yang Niannian said.

Yu Sui did not refuse, and said softly, "Okay, my relative will wait for you at the school gate at 7:30 the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, I will be there on time." Yang Niannian said happily.

"Then I'll leave first." Yu Sui joked, "If I stay here for too long, I don't know what others will say behind my back."

Yu Sui had also heard some rumors about Yang Niannian, such as that she was kept by an old man outside. Every time he heard it, he would stop those who slandered Yang Niannian behind her back.

Yang Niannian can afford a courtyard house and her family is also building a factory, which means she is not short of money. She just keeps a low profile. People who don't know the truth are just making up stories.

…

Tuesday.

Yang Niannian got up at 6:30, and as expected, the water in the faucet was frozen again.

Fortunately, she filled a thermos of hot water last night, so she didn't have to go without water to wash.

The others were still sleeping, so she deliberately lowered the sound of opening the door, but even after she came back from washing up, Meng Ziyu still woke up.

"What time is it? There's already crackling noises. Do you have any sense of public morality? Do you think this is your home?"

Her shout woke up both Zheng Xinyue and Qiao Jinxi. They were still sleepy and didn't understand what was going on.

Yang Niannian glanced at her and said, "It's almost seven o'clock now. Even if I don't wake you up, you should be going to class soon, right?"

“I don’t have classes in the morning.” Meng Ziyu said.

Yang Niannian, "You can take a nap if you don't have classes."

Meng Ziyu retorted, “I’ve been woken up, how can I still sleep?”

It was obvious that she was looking for trouble, so Yang Niannian didn't indulge her. "I went to bed at nine last night and slept until seven, which was ten hours. You haven't come over yet. Are you a pig?"

"you……"

Meng Ziyu choked and wanted to say something, but when she saw Zheng Xinyue’s face ready to join the battle, she simply shut up.
