Chapter 277
After the attic was almost completely tidied up, it was getting late.
Ji Wanmei still needs to go back to school.
Lei Tingjun put down what he was holding and saw Ji Wanmei downstairs.
Next week, students admitted through the national unified entrance examination will begin formal classes. Lei Tingjun can still wander around the school and have free time these two weekend days.
"Come to school tomorrow, I'll take you to the library." Ji Wanmei knew that Lei Tingjun had recently been studying engineering and construction on his own.
Lei Tingjun nodded: "Okay."
He saw a vendor selling braised beef sandwiches on the street and asked Ji Wanmei, "You had your hot pot early this afternoon, and you've been busy all day. Are you hungry? I'll buy you two braised meat pies to eat back at school."
Ji Wanmei glanced at it and smiled, "Okay, it's getting late, let's not eat outside the school, let's buy some to eat at home. And I'll get one for my roommate too."
Lei Tingjun went to the braised pork pie stall and bought five pie cakes.
They packed them into two bags. Ji Wanmei took two back to share with her roommate, while Lei Tingjun took the remaining three back for dinner.
Previously, Lei Tingjun could only escort Ji Wanmei to the school gate each time.
But now that he has a student ID from East China University, he can escort Ji Wanmei all the way to the girls' dormitory.
When they arrived at the girls' dormitory, Ji Wanmei turned around and waved to him: "Okay, I'm here. You should go back and rest early too, don't overwork yourself."
"Okay, I'll wait for you in front of the library at 11 a.m. tomorrow." Lei Tingjun said, then smiled. "You go first, I'll watch you go up."
Downstairs in the girls' dormitory, female students were coming and going. When they saw Ji Wanmei and a tall, aloof man talking downstairs, they all turned around to look at them.
Ji Wanmei felt that this was a bit too high-profile, so she said goodbye to Lei Tingjun and went upstairs.
Lei Tingjun watched her figure disappear at the end of the stairs before turning around and heading out of the school gate.
When Ji Wanmei returned to the dormitory, the conversation suddenly stopped, and everyone turned to look at her.
When Ji Wanmei noticed everyone staring at her, she was taken aback and asked with a smile, "Why is everyone looking at me?"
One classmate jokingly asked, "Wanmei, it's all over school today that you were walking hand in hand with a boy on the playground, and you even went to eat hot pot together at the food street. Everyone says he's your boyfriend, is it true?"
Ji Wanmei smiled and readily admitted, "Yes, he is my boyfriend. He's in the civil engineering department."
"So it really is your boyfriend? We'd all like to meet him. When can you introduce us?"
"Yes, we really want to see what kind of man could win over Wanmei."
Ji Wanmei smiled and said, "Sure, he'll be our schoolmate in the future anyway, so we'll definitely have a chance to get to know each other."
Fang Xiaoqin and Zhou Yuejuan weren't in the dorm lately, and everyone was in a good mood.
Zhou Min put down her book and turned around: "I think your boyfriend should treat us all to dinner."
Ji Wanmei handed over the braised pork pie in her hand, teasingly saying, "Here, this is what he treated you to. He's obligated to feed you, so after you eat this pie, you're not allowed to make fun of things outside anymore."
Zhou Min glanced at the pancake and was stunned: "Really?"
"Just kidding! I was just teasing you." Ji Wanmei chuckled. "He came to report for duty today, and he has a lot of things to do. Let's see if tomorrow is okay. If it is, I'll go out to eat with him and my roommates."
"Let's all go together then," Ji Wanmei warmly invited.
Everyone smiled and said they would definitely go.
After chatting for a short while, Fan Xiaoqin and Zhou Yuejuan returned and found everyone in the dormitory chatting enthusiastically.
Fang Xiaoqin immediately became unhappy and began to make sarcastic remarks: "Oh, people with boyfriends are different, aren't they? I wonder what your boyfriend's background is?"
Ji Wanmei smiled enigmatically: "He's my boyfriend, not yours. What business is it of yours what his background or identity is?"
"You!" Fan Xiaoqin's face turned ugly after being rebuked. After a while, she curled her lips and said, "You're being so secretive. I think you know you can't show it to anyone."
"I've heard that before your boyfriend passed the adult college entrance exam, he was a construction worker who drove a pickup truck."
Ji Wanmei's expression was icy: "What's wrong with workers? Workers are more noble than you. Workers earn money through their own labor, which is better than you, who relies on your grandfather's reputation to bully others, but has no real skills of your own."
Fang Xiaoqin's face turned pale and then red: "Ji Wanmei, watch your mouth!"
Ji Wanmei clenched her wrist, her eyes cold and pointed: "I think you should watch your mouth. What? You haven't had enough of being beaten last time, have you?"
Fang Xiaoqin subconsciously covered her cheek, recalling the unpleasant memory of Ji Wanmei slapping her face last time.
He immediately shut his mouth and stopped talking.
Seeing that she was silent, Ji Wanmei picked up the braised pork pie that was almost cold and ate it slowly and deliberately in small bites.
Zhou Min, sitting across from her, advised, "Don't bother with this kind of person."
Ji Wanmei smiled and said, "I won't let other people ruin my good mood."
***
The next morning, Lei Tingjun went to a public phone booth and called A-Qiang directly.
He asked Ah-Qiang to find a welder on the construction site to make him a metal staircase of a specified size.
Regarding the dimensions, Lei Tingjun had already measured them when he got back yesterday, and he even drew a rough sketch of the finished product himself.
