Qiao Xiaoni watched the commotion from the sidelines, thinking how cunning Su Chenhao was, and silently agreed.
I'll definitely be devastated when I get to work tomorrow.
The next morning, they went to school again to pay their tuition and pick up their new textbooks.
Just like yesterday, Su Chenhao waited outside and didn't go in.
As soon as Qiao Xiaoni entered the classroom, someone grabbed her arm. When she turned around, she saw Zhou Meiling.
"You're only reporting for duty today?!"
"Hmm, did you report it yesterday?" Zhou Meiling casually hooked her arm around hers, coughing involuntarily.
She had planned to register at school yesterday, but due to a severe cold, she didn't go and stayed in the hotel instead. Sun Jie's attentive care made her realize that they still had feelings for each other, and the previous unpleasantness vanished.
Qiao Xiaoni noticed her pale complexion and cough and asked, "Do you have a cold?"
Zhou Meiling touched her head pitifully and said, "After getting off the bus, I felt unwell, so we found a hotel to stay in. Maybe it was because I kicked off the blankets at night, but I found out I had a cold when I woke up in the morning."
Then my head started to hurt. How could I report in this condition? After discussing it with Sun Jie, we postponed it by a day and are reporting today.
He went to gather information. You arrived before us; did you hear anything useful?
Qiao Xiaoni shook her head and saw that there were many more students in the classroom. Some she had met yesterday, and some she didn't recognize. They must be here to register today, just like Zhou Meiling.
There were no seats in the back, so they went straight to the back.
After Zhou Meiling sat down, she said, "I heard from them that those who arrived yesterday can be assigned dormitories today."
It's such a pity we didn't report yesterday; we'll have to stay in a hotel again today.
"I rented a place nearby, so I don't live in the dorm anymore," Qiao Xiaoni said casually.
Zhou Meiling was shocked; she had heard from Sun Jie that the housing prices in this area were very high.
"You just arrived the day before yesterday and then rented a place. How much does it cost for a month?"
Qiao Xiaoni: "We rented for six months. At first, the landlord said that we would have to pay one month's rent as a deposit and three months' rent in advance, but we negotiated the price later."
Zhou Meiling swallowed hard: "Isn't your family living in a remote rural area? How come we gave you so much money to rent such a nice house?"
I felt a pang of jealousy. Her family ran a business, and they only gave her two hundred yuan when she left. After deducting tuition and living expenses, she only had a little pocket money left, barely making ends meet. What's more, she had to support another person. Sun Jie's parents had only managed to scrape together the tuition; they were still relying on her for living expenses. The thought made my heart ache. I wondered when this would end.
Qiao Xiaoni said tactfully, "My family runs a small business, so renting a place would be more convenient. I don't really like living in a communal setting."
Besides, I want to do other things, and staying in the dormitory isn't very convenient.
"I also want to rent a place outside, but unfortunately I don't have enough money, so I can only dream about it," Zhou Meiling said with envy.
Sun Jie walked in from outside at this moment, entered the classroom, took a look, and found them in the corner.
I thought to myself, what a small world! We've met again so quickly. I straightened my clothes and went over.
Qiao Xiaoni looked up and saw him walking over unintentionally: "Your boyfriend is here. Should I sit over there? Let's make room for you two."
