Ou Minglang frowned: "My sister married someone in Guangzhou, and I was supposed to go there for the New Year anyway."
He looked at Ning Yuan and suddenly became a little unhappy: "What kind of boyfriend do you have? A young girl takes money to Guangzhou to buy goods, and he doesn't even go with you. How can he be so trusting!"
Nowadays, human traffickers and thieves are all too common on trains.
There have even been cases of highway robbers robbing train carriages, killing passengers, and stealing money.
Ning Yuan sighed: "I'm not alone. He asked his retired comrades to look after me."
Rong Zhaonan was not a careless person. Knowing that he could not accompany her to Guangzhou, he asked his old comrades-in-arms, who were train police officers and train conductors, to take care of her.
He joined the army early and carried out many missions. By the time he retired, he had comrades all over the country.
Many of them were life-or-death friendships that he had single-handedly pulled back from the brink of despair.
Chen Chen's heart and eyes were filled with him; she was incredibly infatuated.
More than once, amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood, he watched his captain effortlessly rescue him or his comrades as if by divine intervention.
In movies, the female lead is expected to repay a debt of love after being saved once; how much more so would Chen Chen, who has been pulled back from the brink of death more than once?
In those desperate situations, there are always reliable teammates who offer hope and salvation.
Therefore, he never failed to do his best in anything he entrusted to his old comrades, sometimes even going overboard.
For example, buying underwear and bras... or providing educational materials from Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Feeling overshadowed by Rong Zhaonan's cleavage, Ou Minglang's expression instantly soured.
He stubbornly insisted, "The train conductor and the police officer don't have to work. They sit next to you every day. They don't consider anything at all!"
Ning Yuan: "..."
Ou Minglang raised an eyebrow at her: "Besides, don't you want to know about the Ning family? We can talk about it slowly on the train."
He paused, then muttered, "I also want to know about your family members in Ningnan, otherwise I won't know how to explain it to Brother Yu."
Ning Yuan thought about it and realized it made sense: "Alright, let's talk about it in detail later."
As she spoke, she looked Ou Minglang up and down for a moment: "But you'd better dress more modestly. The way you're dressed, it's like you're easy prey!"
Ou Minglang looked at Ning Yuan and smiled happily: "Okay! Don't worry!"
"Ah, aren't you Ou Minglang?" A soft female voice suddenly rang out with surprise.
Ning Yuan paused, then turned to look at Ding Lan, who was running over with books in her arms, and frowned.
Ding Lan, however, acted as if she couldn't see her cold expression, and affectionately reached out to take her arm—
"Ningning, your friend is here. Why didn't you tell me? We're so close. Why don't we have lunch together?"
Ning Yuan quickly pulled her arm away: "We're not that close. You've only met my friend once. We can eat by ourselves!"
Ning Yuan's blunt rejection made Ding Lan freeze.
But she quickly regained her composure, turned to look at Ou Minglang, and said pitifully—
“Ou, we’ve gotten to know each other better since we last met. You gave me too much money last time, I’d feel bad if I didn’t treat you to a meal.”
Ning Yuan couldn't help but roll her eyes. Wasn't that giving too much?
Ding Lan broke her old kettle, and Ou Minglang compensated her with ten yuan, enough to buy two new ones.
The next day, Ding Lan, that amazing person, somehow managed to trick someone into giving her a second-hand kettle, which she used without a care in the world, turning ten yuan into pocket money.
The key point is that the old kettle that Ding Lan broke last time was obtained by her crying in another department's dormitory without spending a penny.
Ning Yuan was truly impressed by this person's incredible ability to get something for nothing!
If Ding Lan had been born a few decades later, she could have swept through northern Myanmar, becoming the queen of scams there, with countless people under her command—enough to make her a living eating stir-fried kidneys!
Of course, she told Ou Minglang about this without reservation.
However, many students are actually aware of Ding Lan's shameless and greedy nature.
But she was born with an innocent, pale face, and she was very good at crying. She had a soft tongue, thick skin, and wasn't afraid of being scolded.
If you scold her, she'll cry, apologize, and even try to get close to you and become your "good friend."
Both male and female students are easily swayed by such a treacherous plaster.
The three girls in their dorm are already considered "heartless".
Ding Lan, that shrewd opportunist, actually invited Ou Minglang to dinner. It's obvious she's after Ou Minglang!
Ning Yuan couldn't help but look at Ou Minglang to see if he would also be soft-hearted towards Ding Lan like the others.
Looking at Ding Lan's pitiful and gentle appearance, Ou Minglang immediately smiled and said, "No need to be so polite, but if you want to treat me, that's fine too."
Ding Lan's eyes lit up immediately, as if she had heard something great to celebrate: "Really?"
The next second, she seemed to blush and lower her face, asking, "Ou, what... what would you like to eat?"
It must be said that Ding Lan's shy and beautiful appearance is indeed lovely.
Ning Yuan sighed. Oh no, even the big white goose couldn't resist the charm of the scavenger.
However, the next moment, Ou Minglang put his arm around her shoulder and smiled at Ding Lan: "Xiao Ning is my girlfriend. Ask her what she likes to eat. You'll have to spend money on her later."
Upon hearing this, both Ning Yuan and Ding Lan's expressions changed.
Ou Minglang looked at Ning Yuan and winked at her, which made Ning Yuan hold back.
Ding Lan's eyes darted between Ou Minglang and Ning Yuan. She used Ou Minglang's money to treat him to dinner in order to get closer to him and see if she could make him her devoted follower.
You could ask Ning Yuan...
Ding Lan looked at Ning Yuan's cold eyes, which seemed to see right through her.
She finally lowered her head and said softly, "It's rare for you to come to Fudan University to see Ning Yuan, so I'd better not be a third wheel."
After Ding Lan finished speaking, she glanced at Ou Minglang, gave him a wistful look that suggested she wanted to say something, and then left.
She couldn't help biting her nails as soon as she turned her head. Sigh, I need to think of something to do.
The three girls in her own dorm are all difficult to deal with, unlike the girls in other dorms. If she rashly manages to hook up with Ou Minglang, she'll have to consider changing dorms.
But the head instructor seemed quite generous; the dress he gave Ning Yuan looked very expensive.
In addition, Ning Yuan cunningly recognized a retired professor couple as her grandfather and grandmother, and opened such a large coffee shop.
If I had a rich sister-in-law like that, I could make a lot of money too.
Ding Lan was conflicted—
Should she become Ning Yuan's cousin-in-law or her love rival?
Ah, this is truly a century-old problem that has put her in a difficult position!
As soon as Ding Lan left, Ning Yuan immediately shoved Ou Minglang's shoulder away: "Damn it, who's your boyfriend? You tricked me again!"
"I'm cutting off your supply line here, otherwise, as soon as I came to visit you, I would see the face of your roommate, which is disgusting." A look of disgust flashed in Ou Minglang's eyes.
He's been flirting with countless girls since he was fifteen, how could he not see through their tricks?
In his eyes, Ding Lan was just a smarter version of Lin Juanzi.
Ning Yuan rolled her eyes: "This isn't the way to remove the fuel from under the fire. What if people misunderstand?"
If this gets to Rong Zhaonan's ears, he'll bite someone!
Ou Minglang sneered, his face full of disdain: "You're just afraid that Rong Zhaonan, that petty guy, will misunderstand, right? He's really overthinking it. Who would like a short, thin potato like you!"
Ning Yuan was furious and kicked him in annoyance: "Say it again, who is the shorty and the little potato!"
Ou Minglang chuckled: "Whoever gets angry, whoever identifies with this, is a shorty and a little potato!"
After saying that, he ran off, making Ning Yuan chase after him all the way, yelling, "You big white goose, stop right there!"
...
In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed, the final exams are over, and winter vacation is here!
During this time, in addition to reviewing and taking exams, Ning Yuan also signed a cooperation agreement with Chu Hongyu and Yan Yangyang. The contract was drafted by Jin Bianjiang.
It even passed the review of a law professor, who said that the contract was basically without loopholes and that some details were very thoughtful and fair, praising Jin Bianjiang highly.
So Yan Yangyang, who was listening to the professor's effusive praise of Jin Bianjiang, felt reassured and secretly signed an extra contract between the two of them.
Simply put, Jin Bianjiang will find a way to fulfill Yan Yangyang's wish to join the army within two years, and Yan Yangyang must agree to one condition.
According to Ning Yuan, this contract is simply an invalid contract that is manifestly unfair.
Unfortunately, although Yan Yangyang is a college student, she lacks legal knowledge. She signed the document with great enthusiasm, thus planting a huge seed of trouble for herself.
I haven't told my roommates yet.
As for when the thunder will explode, who knows?
As soon as winter vacation started, Ning Yuan discussed the management of the coffee shop with Grandma Xia and Grandpa Tang.
Then, she took the huge sum of two thousand yuan with her and Ou Minglang and boarded the green train to Guangzhou.
Ying Gang personally escorted Ning Yuan and Ou Minglang to the station and also helped them connect with the train police officer on that train.
The train police officer was a young man from Henan Province, around 27 or 28 years old, named Wang Zhihe.
The tall, strong young man, who shares the same name as the famous stinky tofu brand, warmly and personally helped Ning Yuan and Ou Minglang into the car.
