Chapter 1 Ideals are full, reality is skinny
In the middle of summer in September, the south was still as hot as an outdoor steam room during the day, but the north had already shown signs of autumn. In the bustling Beijing Station, people were coming and going, and pedestrians were walking hurriedly. Zhang Wanwan dragged a large suitcase and carried an extra-large travel bag, which was full of luggage she brought from her hometown in the south. She almost suffocated herself when she squeezed into the subway with all these things, and when she returned to the school dormitory with difficulty, she collapsed to the ground.
Before she could recover, the door of the dormitory was pushed open again. Her roommates Yan Qian and Zhang Siyu came in, carrying things, talking and laughing, and almost tripped over Zhang Wanwan's luggage.
Yan Qian's eyes widened, and she asked incoherently with a lollipop in her mouth, "Stinky girl, have you moved your home to our dormitory?"
Zhang Siyu roughly flipped through the things on the floor and said with a sigh, "Other seniors move their things back home, but you're doing the opposite. Do you think our dormitory isn't crowded enough?"
Faced with the pressure from her two roommates, Zhang Wanwan begged for mercy and said coquettishly, "Oh, just let me take two days off. I'll move out when I find a suitable house. I won't cause any trouble for you, I swear!"
Yan Qian raised her eyebrows and stopped eating her lollipop. She sat down next to Zhang Wanwan and asked curiously, "Tell me the truth, are you going out with your boyfriend? You're great! Zhang Wanwan, I didn't expect that the most reserved girl in our dormitory would be the first to have sex! Don't forget us sisters when you get the marriage certificate and have the wedding banquet. When Yihan, Zuxin and Yiman come back, I will have a good talk with them. I will make you bleed a lot!"
Yan Qian kept muttering to herself, getting more and more excited. Zhang Wanwan's cheeks turned red with shame and she begged for mercy again and again. Finally, under Yan Qian's persistent pestering, Zhang Wanwan agreed to take them out for milk tea.
There are so many milk tea shops on the student street outside the school. Since they are located in the university town, the prices are not that high, so Zhang Wanwan can still afford to treat her to a few cups of milk tea.
The three of them left the dormitory and headed straight for the student street, which was full of students and tourists. Many of them were carrying a lot of bags like Zhang Wanwan, but most of them were freshmen, and few of the seniors were as weird as her.
They had agreed to treat Zhang Wanwan to a meal, but they had been classmates for three years and knew each other well. They also knew that Zhang Wanwan came from an ordinary family, even a little poor, and even if she wanted to drink milk tea, she would not choose the expensive one. The three of them ordered three cups at random and found a quiet corner by the window to sit down.
Yan Qian asked somewhat uncomfortably: "Are you really planning to abandon us and live together with Cao Ji'an?"
Zhang Wanwan looked apologetic. "I also want to join you, but you also know that we developed that project together. Ji An said that we can save a lot of time if we live together, and we have already decided to get married after receiving the diploma, so."
Zhang Siyu frowned and glared at Yan Qian, then came to Zhang Wanwan's rescue, saying, "Alright, this is a good thing. Since Wanwan has made up her mind, stop nagging and disturbing her mood! What are you going to do if Wanwan gets annoyed?"
"I..." Yan Qian was choked with anger, and said stubbornly, "If Cao Ji'an is really that good, why haven't I seen him yet? Today is the first day of reporting. Look at Wanwan's luggage. It's obvious that this silly girl dragged it back by herself. This kind of boyfriend is not competent at all. Wanwan, I'm giving you a piece of advice. Don't let that guy take advantage of you before you get the marriage certificate. I'm telling you..."
"Yan Qian! Are you done yet?" Zhang Siyu roared, and attacked directly, and the two women struggled with each other.
Zhang Wanwan, who was sitting opposite them, had changed her expression and her thoughts went back to the previous moment. She had called Cao Ji'an an hour and a half before getting off the train and asked him to pick her up at the station. The voice on the phone seemed a little embarrassed. Zhang Wanwan had always been sensitive. She noticed Cao Ji'an's hesitation and said considerately that it was not necessary. She then dragged a bunch of things back by herself with difficulty.
There was a moment when Zhang Wanwan suspected that Cao Ji'an had changed his mind and no longer loved her, but as soon as she returned to the dormitory, Cao Ji'an called to show his concern and said that he could come and pick her up when he was done with his work. Zhang Wanwan began to blame herself again, thinking that she should not have doubted Cao Ji'an's sincerity towards her, and she was entangled in this way until Yan Qian and the others came back. She didn't expect Yan Qian to say these words so bluntly at this moment, digging out the uneasiness in her heart and laying it in front of her bloody.
Perhaps because of Zhang Wanwan's silence, Yan Qian and Zhang Siyu felt that it was boring after playing around for a while. They were also vaguely worried about Zhang Wanwan, so they all became quiet.
Yan Qian has always been a carefree person and can't stand this kind of depressing atmosphere. She turned her head away and ignored her two roommates. Out of sight, out of mind. She felt more happy than just looking at the handsome guy passing by outside the window.
Zhang Siyu also knew Yan Qian's temper. She pouted, stirred the milk tea in her hand out of boredom, and took several sips as if to vent her anger.
"Ah! Look!"
With a scream, all the milk tea in Zhang Siyu's mouth sprayed out. As expected, Zhang Wanwan, who was sitting opposite her, had to endure everything that she shouldn't have endured.
"Wanwan, I'm sorry! Let me wipe it for you." Zhang Siyu got up in a hurry, leaned forward and pulled out the tissue, and threw it at Zhang Wanwan randomly. After a while, she realized something was wrong. Seeing Zhang Wanwan looking out the window as if she had lost her soul, and the instigator Yan Qian also kept silent, she turned her head subconsciously. The scene outside the window made her pupils shrink and her mouth became an "O" shape.
"Wan Wan Wan, that, that, is it my eyes that are blurry?"
Zhang Siyu blinked hard, and after making sure that she was not blind, she became furious and threw the tissue in her hand fiercely, shouting angrily: "I'm going to tear that scumbag and bitch apart!"
Yan Qian came to her senses and immediately agreed with Zhang Siyu. Before Zhang Wanwan could come to her senses, the two had already rushed out. Perhaps it was because everything happened too suddenly, or maybe it was the inferiority complex deep in her heart, Zhang Wanwan suddenly became timid. She didn't dare to go out and face all this. She just sat there stupidly with empty eyes.
There was already a quarrel outside.
Zhang Siyu rushed out angrily and poured milk tea all over Cao Ji'an. The girl standing next to Cao Ji'an was affected and screamed in shock and anger, creating a chaotic scene.
Cao Ji'an came back to his senses and angrily cursed: "What do you two crazy women want to do?"
"Cao Ji'an, open your dog eyes and look. If I don't vent my anger for our Wanwan today and tear you, a two-timing scum, to pieces, I'm not named Zhang!" Zhang Siyu put her hands on her hips, her cheeks flushed with anger.
Yan Qian shouted at the side: "Everyone, come and have a look. This is Cao Ji'an, a senior from the School of Information. He already has a girlfriend, but he is still hanging out with other women. He plays with women. He has bad behavior and is morally corrupt. I am ashamed to be in the same department with him. I will beat you to death, you shameless scumbag!"
