After a night of anxiety, Zhou Meiling, with dark circles under her eyes, woke up an hour later than usual. There was less than half an hour left until the appointed time.
I rushed to the washroom to wash my face and brush my teeth, then returned to my dorm to apply powder to my face, successfully covering up my dark circles. Only then did I breathe a sigh of relief.
Looking at the cosmetics in her hand, she felt even more grateful to Qiao Xiaoni. Without such a powerful foundation, she would have been so embarrassed today.
Fu Ru rolled her eyes: "What are you up to this morning, all flustered and in such a rush?"
"I have plans with a friend." Zhou Meiling replied simply without turning around. Their relationship was lukewarm, so there was no need for further explanation.
"So you have a boyfriend?" Fu Ru asked tentatively.
"No." Zhou Meiling used to think that Fu Ru was generous and proper, and should be an easy-going older sister. Over time, she realized that beneath this intimidating exterior was a scheming and manipulative woman.
The word was also told to her by Xiao Nizi; it's specifically used to describe women who are good at pretending.
Fu Ru didn't get the answer she wanted. She had just been recording with the radio, and if Zhou Meiling confessed, she would have firsthand evidence.
To kick someone out of the dormitory, there had to be a reasonable explanation. She had been planning this for many days, but it all fell apart at the last minute. The tape recorder was left on the bed and never picked up again.
Zhou Meiling changed her clothes again, slightly altered her hairstyle, looked in the mirror, and was quite satisfied. Only then did she pick up her bag and leave the dormitory.
Just like last time, I saw people as soon as I arrived at the door.
Seeing that she was running very fast, Song Mingyuan was afraid that she might accidentally fall, so he quickly went over to her.
"I overslept this morning, but luckily I'm quick, otherwise I would have made you wait again."
"Wait a little longer, it's okay. Don't rush out like that next time. What if you fall?" Song Mingyuan put his hand on her shoulder.
"Hmm." Zhou Meiling also realized that she had been reckless just now. What if she had fallen? Wouldn't all that effort have been wasted?
Song Mingyuan waited until her breathing calmed down before putting his hand down, then took her hand and left the school gate.
While waiting for a car by the roadside, a taxi soon arrived. Just like last time, he sat in the front and Zhou Meiling sat in the back.
After telling the driver where he wanted to go, Song Mingyuan took out some cookies from his pocket, turned around and handed them to him.
Zhou Meiling's eyes lit up when she saw the cookies. She had gotten up late that morning and hadn't eaten breakfast, so she was very hungry!
He grabbed the bag, opened it, and started eating the cookies without a care for his image.
Seeing that she was eating too fast and was afraid she would choke, Song Mingyuan quickly took out the water cup from his bag and threw it on the chair next to him.
Zhou Meiling was thirsty, so she picked it up and drank it without the slightest disgust.
They arrived at their destination quickly, and Song Mingyuan took out his wallet to pay the bill.
Zhou Meiling only realized how much money it would cost to take a taxi back and forth like this when she got off the bus!
I told him after the taxi drove away.
"Next time I come to your house, let's take the bus! I see a bus stop not far ahead."
"Taking the bus takes too long, more than an hour to get here. Besides, I need to correct you, it's not your home, it's going home."
If I mention your family again, I'll get angry.
"..." When men get domineering, they can be even more unreasonable than women.
"Isn't this a little easier to distinguish? Your home is your home, and my home is my home. Otherwise, if you say you're going home, will you know which home you're going to?" Zhou Meiling retorted.
