Chapter 148
After Ji Wanmei came out of the Shu embroidery cheongsam shop, she had several Shu embroidery silk scarves in the handbag she was carrying.
Then she went to Wuguifang and bought a few boxes of pastries.
These items are more than enough to be considered a welcome gift for a new classmate.
After returning to school, the new students arrived one after another to register over the next two days.
Ji Wanmei's eight roommates have almost all arrived, except for Fang Xiaoqin.
There are no assigned beds in the student dormitories; whoever arrives first gets to choose their own bed.
So, Ji Wanmei and Zhou Min, who arrived first, each chose a lower bunk by the window. The desk there was also close to the window, so the lighting was very good, making it the best bed.
The next best spot was their upper bunk.
In her past life, Ji Wanmei had two close roommates, one of whom was Fang Xiaoqin and the other was Zhou Yuejuan.
Zhou Yuejuan moved in that afternoon as well; she came to the school to register with her mother.
Zhou Yuejuan's mother worked for a state-owned enterprise and possessed the superficial politeness typical of city dwellers, while harboring arrogance within.
After the mother and daughter entered the dormitory, they first glanced at the other students in the dormitory without leaving a trace. Seeing that most of them were students with ordinary clothes and simple bedding, they were somewhat dismissive.
It wasn't until she saw Ji Wanmei sitting by the window that Zhou Yuejuan's mother's eyes lit up, and her attitude immediately became warm. She even took the initiative to come over and talk to Ji Wanmei.
"Excuse me, do you live in this lower bunk?"
Ji Wanmei looked up and said calmly, "Yes, that's right."
"Yuejuan, come here, you can stay in this classmate's upper bunk." Zhou Yuejuan's mother looked around the dormitory and said, "The lighting here is better, and the upper bunk is cleaner. I think your classmate in the lower bunk is also very polite and gentle, so let's choose this bed."
Zhou Yuejuan also disliked sleeping on the lower bunk. She felt that if she chose the lower bunk, people would always sit on her bed, which would easily get her sheets dirty.
Besides, she could tell at a glance that the people in the dormitory were all from the countryside and definitely didn't care about hygiene.
However, the student in the lower bunk by the window had a face that was excessively eye-catching.
Zhou Yuejuan has always prided herself on her beauty and is arrogant. Since childhood, countless boys have pursued her, which has fostered her arrogance and disregard for girls her own age.
But when she arrived at the dormitory today, she saw Ji Wanmei, which immediately set off alarm bells in her heart and aroused hostility!
Women, especially beautiful women, can never hide their hostility and jealousy towards each other.
Zhou Yuejuan couldn't suppress her jealousy and sourness, and secretly glanced at Ji Wanmei, who was quietly reading a book with her head down.
How can her skin be so fair?
Like white porcelain, you can't even see the pores, and her eyelashes are so curled and perky, like a porcelain doll.
The features of that face were so exquisite that even the notoriously picky Zhou Yuejuan couldn't find a single flaw.
Her skin was as white as snow, her eyes were bright and her teeth were white, her hair was long and black, and most importantly, she had such a good figure and dressed in a stylish and fashionable way.
With her long, swan-like neck slightly bowed and a book in her hand, she simply sat there quietly, the sunlight shining on her, exuding an outstanding and captivating aura.
Zhou Yuejuan, who was always very confident in her appearance, suddenly felt like she was just an extra when compared to Ji Wanmei.
This made her feel even less favorably toward Ji Wanmei.
If Ji Wanmei were merely a girl of average looks, but below Zhou Yuejuan in appearance, and from a well-off family, then Zhou Yuejuan would be very happy to befriend her.
But no pretty girl wants to have a stunningly beautiful woman by her side who can overshadow her and steal her thunder.
But now, besides that bed, there was only one upper bunk left by the door in the dormitory, so Zhou Yuejuan had no choice but to reluctantly move to Ji Wanmei's upper bunk.
Although Ji Wanmei was looking down at her book, she could still somewhat sense the hostile look in Zhou Yuejuan's eyes.
I couldn't help but sigh.
Just as Zhou Yuejuan was making the bed, Fang Xiaoqin arrived late.
Fang Xiaoqin's family had some military and political influence.
Her maternal grandfather was a retired company commander. Some of the soldiers he had led in the army still give him a lot of respect.
Her uncle also got a job as a propaganda officer in the cultural troupe through her maternal grandfather's connections.
Therefore, wherever Fang Xiaoqin went, she always acted like a domineering young lady, and the female classmates in the dormitory were treated like her maids.
As soon as Fang Xiaoqin entered the dormitory, she made no attempt to hide her disdain and said, "Why are there so many people here?"
She didn't have any family members with her; they were probably all busy with their own things today. The only person who came with her was a driver from her family.
These days, most families simply can't afford a car.
Fang Xiaoqin's family not only owns a car but can also afford a driver, so she naturally has reason to be proud.
After the driver helped Fang Xiaoqin carry the two huge suitcases up, he said, "Miss, I'll head back now."
"Go away, go away, we don't need you at all!" Fang Xiaoqin waved her hand impatiently.
I carried my suitcase into the dormitory and was quite displeased to see that there was only one lower bunk by the door.
There were people everywhere at the doorway, offering no privacy whatsoever, and she was constantly being used as a stool by others. She didn't want to sleep in that bed.
Fang Xiaoqin walked straight inside, her gaze sweeping over the two bunk beds by the window.
At the same time, their eyes lit up when they saw Ji Wanmei reading a book. They then glanced at Zhou Yuejuan, who was making her bed, Zhou Min across from her, and Zhou Min's classmate on the upper bunk.
