Actually, that wasn't what Zhou Qiuyu meant. He gave Su Luan a card to give to the Li family, but after learning that Xiao Li wouldn't be coming back, Su Luan didn't take it out.
After returning, Su Luan did not hand the card to Zhou Qiuyu. He assumed that the Li family had accepted the card and felt indifferent about his daughter's unwillingness to return to the Zhou family.
She's too young now. She'll only realize the benefits of having a powerful backer after she's experienced the harsh realities of life.
Because Xiao Li did not return to the Zhou family, Zhou Yihan not only did not receive sympathy and pity, but also aroused the dissatisfaction of the Zhou family.
She had no way to confide her grievances to her fiancé, since he hadn't even come back yet. She also didn't want to reveal that she was an adopted daughter.
Xiao Li was completely unaware of all this; she was adjusting to university life and her three other roommates.
"My name is Liu Yuanyuan, and I come from Dongyang City. This is a local specialty from my hometown. Please don't mind it."
A chubby girl smiled and shared the pastries she was holding with everyone.
"My name is Wang Xiaoyan, I'm a local, hello everyone!"
She is a warm and sunny girl.
"My name is Zuo Yao, and I come from Huashi."
Shy and gentle, graceful and elegant, each of my roommates has her own unique charm.
"I'm Li Xiaoli, and I'm also a local. Hello everyone!"
Wang Xiaoyan said to her roommates while eating pastries.
"Let's go out for skewers tonight. I know a place nearby that's really good."
Liu Yuanyuan immediately nodded, "Okay, okay, I've been sitting in the car all day and I've lost weight from hunger."
Wang Xiaoyan looked at her round face and couldn't help but pinch it.
"Your face is so soft! Come on, let's go get some skewers."
The two of them were joking around and laughing, filling the entire dormitory with the vibrant energy of youth.
The group played until 10 o'clock before heading back, passing by a milk tea shop with a long queue.
"Let's have a milk tea before we go back."
Liu Yuanyuan swallowed hard; she was a little thirsty, but more than that, she was craving it. Everyone agreed that it was delicious.
"Ideally, I'd like to get the milk tea guy's phone number."
All three looked at Zuo Yao strangely. They couldn't believe that such a gentle girl could be so open.
Seeing the surprised looks on their faces, Zuo Yao stamped her foot and said, "What are you thinking? I meant it will be more convenient to order milk tea in the future. We can just come down and pick it up."
"Oh~"
The group burst into laughter, and Xiao Li felt young again. After experiencing so much, she felt a little tired, but perhaps the world held some surprises.
"Wow, this guy is so handsome! Even though he's wearing a mask, I can guarantee he's absolutely gorgeous."
"We're not blind, who asked you to make that guarantee?"
"Who dares to ask for a phone number? My treat."
"I think he's a bit of an iceberg, so it might be a bit difficult for him."
...
Xiao Li looked at the milk tea shop, but unexpectedly felt that it looked familiar. She had strong mental power and could remember almost everything she saw.
Isn't this the young man from the haunted house who got injured? I didn't expect him to be working here.
Soon it was the turn of the four people, and Wang Xiaoyan volunteered to ask for phone numbers.
"Hello! We are students from University A. Could you please give me your phone number so we can buy you milk tea in the future?"
Xie Qing habitually began, "Sorry, I only work part-time, so I might not be in the store often. Just..."
I looked up and saw a somewhat familiar face.
"Yes...yes...okay. If you want milk tea, call this number and I can deliver it to you when I have time."
He quickly wrote down a phone number on a piece of paper and handed it over along with the milk tea.
"Really? That's great, thank you!"
The group jumped up happily.
"Shh!"
The group understood each other and silently took their milk tea and left.
Xiao Li nodded to Xie Qing as a greeting. Xie Qing's ears turned red. He didn't know why he, who usually hated people asking for his phone number, had given it to them today without thinking.
However, he still had a bit of expectation in his heart. Why was that?
☆
Zhou Yihan also went to university. Since her home was nearby, she was enrolled as a day student. She was well-liked as soon as she entered the school. However, it was hard to say whether everyone liked her as a person or just her designer clothes.
Xiao Li gained a lot of friendships at University A. Her life was a simple routine: attending classes during the week and going home to visit her parents on weekends. She lived such peaceful and warm days for three years.
"Xiaoxiao, could you buy some milk tea on your way back?" Liu Yuanyuan hummed as she lay in bed. She had been working particularly hard on her diet lately, and she was so craving milk tea that she was even dreaming about it.
Wang Xiaoyan and Zuo Yao exchanged a smile and went to Liu Yuanyuan's bedside to play pranks on her.
Liu Yuanyuan felt a tickle in her nose, and when she opened her eyes, she realized it was a dream.
"Why!"
Seeing that she looked listless, Wang Xiaoyan said with heartache, "Yuanyuan, don't bother losing weight. I think you're just a little chubby, and you're actually quite cute like this."
Zuo Yao nodded in agreement.
Looking at their tiny faces, Liu Yuanyuan said, "You don't understand. I'm determined to lose weight so that I can stand beside him in a better light."
She got excited again as she said this, "I'll definitely be a beauty when I lose weight. Fat people are all potential beauties, right?"
Wang Xiaoyan was so angry that she ignored her and went straight back to bed.
Zuo Yao shook her head. "Yuanyuan, we hope you can lose weight for your health, not because of what others think. You only weigh 120 pounds now, but you are 165 cm tall, so you're really not fat."
Liu Yuanyuan understood everything, but she just wanted to try and see if losing weight would attract that person's attention.
"I know, Yao Yao, Xiao Yan, I'll give it a try. I'm not willing to give up like this."
"You idiot, if Wang Canyang really liked you, he wouldn't have said you were fat. Even if you lost weight, he'd still say you weren't his type. Are you going to get plastic surgery then?"
Wang Xiaoyan couldn't hold back any longer, and she angrily slapped Liu Yuanyuan a few times.
Liu Yuanyuan just chuckled. She knew her friends were doing it for her own good, and that her weight loss wasn't entirely for Wang Canyang. She just wanted to let go of Wang Canyang's feelings and become a better version of herself.
When Xiao Li returned, she witnessed the scene of the group's outburst.
What happened?
When Wang Xiaoyan saw Xiaoli return, she let out a loud cry and hugged Xiaoli tightly.
"Xiaoxiao, Yuanyuan lost weight for Wang Canyang, do you think it was worth it?"
Looking at Yuanyuan's determined face, Xiaoli patted Wang Xiaoyan's arm.
"There's nothing wrong with losing weight. Let's do it with Yuanyuan. Starting today, let's stop drinking milk tea and go for a morning run every day. It'll be good for your health."
Liu Yuanyuan also got off the bed and hugged Xiaoli's arm.
"Xiaoxiao is the best. Xiaoyan and Yaoyao just bullied me, boohoo..."
Wang Xiaoyan and Zuo Yao both ran over to scratch her back, and Liu Yuanyuan immediately lay down on the ground and started rolling around.
"Haha, it itches so much, please stop..."
"You were just itching for a scratch, so I scratched it for you..."
"Hahaha……"
