Chapter 266
The day after Ji Wanmei returned to school, Zhou Min also came to the school from her hometown ahead of time.
That's how it was at the beginning of last semester. Zhou Min had to come to school earlier than everyone else so that she could take advantage of the empty library to study more.
Zhou Min was quite surprised to see that Ji Wanmei had returned to school even earlier than her.
"Wanmei, didn't you visit any relatives during the Lunar New Year? You're back at school so early," Zhou Min asked.
Ji Wanmei smiled and said, "Grandma Song is celebrating her birthday in the first month of the lunar calendar, so I came to Huadong early to visit my boyfriend for a few days. I only returned to school yesterday."
"Oh, no wonder! You look radiant and healthy. So that's why," Zhou Min teased her.
Ji Wanmei chuckled: "How come you've learned to joke about me too?"
Zhou Min took out several jars of pickled mustard greens and dried radish that she had brought from her hometown, and handed two jars to Ji Wanmei: "Here, these are made in my hometown, they're not worth much, just enjoy the local flavor."
After saying that, Zhou Min picked up where Ji Wanmei left off, and said in a serious tone, "I'm not joking with you. The National Adult College Entrance Examination is coming up in March. I've heard so much about your boyfriend and can't wait to meet him in person. I want to see which hero has captured the heart of our beautiful Ji Wanmei."
Ji Wanmei chuckled and took the bean sprouts and dried radish that she handed over: "If he knew that my roommates and classmates all describe him like this, he would definitely laugh and cry at the same time."
“She might even be secretly pleased with herself.” Zhou Min sat on the edge of the bed and said, “If your friend really gets into East China University, he’ll become the rival of all the male students in the school.”
Zhou Min, like an old scholar, said calmly, "Being the public enemy of all the male students in the school is not an easy thing to do. He needs to be mentally prepared."
Ji Wanmei chuckled: "What do you mean by 'public enemy of the whole school'? You're exaggerating too much."
Zhou Min said, "Putting everything else aside, Lu Zhuoxuan alone is not easy to deal with."
"That's not necessarily true," Ji Wanmei said proudly. "I've already made things clear to Senior Brother Lu. Someone as proud as him will let it go."
Zhou Min raised an eyebrow: "Don't underestimate a man's competitive spirit."
Sometimes, the more unattainable something is, the more we yearn for it.
"Didn't Eileen Chang write something in one of her novels? Often, in a man's heart, the woman he can't have will become his unforgettable white moonlight over time."
Ji Wanmei quickly reached out to stop her, saying, "Stop talking. Let's go out and get something to eat."
Three days later, as the start of the new semester approached, university students gradually returned to campus from their hometowns.
Ji Wanmei's dormitory, an eight-person room, also began to liven up.
Fang Xiaoqin and Zhou Yuejuan have also returned to school.
Both of them are from urban families, and after the New Year, they brought a lot of delicious food from their homes.
Perhaps to deliberately compete with Ji Wanmei, Fang Xiaoqin would also give a small gift after Ji Wanmei gave one to her roommate.
This time, because Ji Wanmei first visited the Lu family and then went to Pingdong City, she returned home feeling quite relaxed and didn't bring back any Spring Festival gifts.
Fang Xiaoqin was different. During the first month of the lunar year, every household would visit relatives and friends, exchange New Year's gifts, and the family's meals were at their best for the year, with a wide variety of snacks and treats.
Fang Xiaoqin brought a big bag of candy and oranges to school to share with her roommates.
When she was distributing fruit and candy to the other classmates, when it came to Ji Wanmei and Fang Xiaoqin, she deliberately didn't hand them over. Instead, she placed the bag of candy next to her own bed and said:
"Ji Wanmei, Zhou Min, I have some candy and fruit here. Come and get them if you want some."
It looked like they were giving alms.
Ji Wanmei curled the corners of her lips: "Thanks, but no need."
After the New Year, when Ji Wanmei's aunt and uncle came to visit her from Shanghai, they brought her a lot of foreign chocolates and coffee.
Ji Xingguo didn't like the food that foreigners ate, so he asked Ji Wanmei to take it to school to eat.
When Ji Wanmei traveled from Pingquan County to East China, the two heavy suitcases her father packed for her were not for nothing.
When Ji Wanmei went to Pingdong City, she gave the sausages to Lei Tingjun, knowing that he didn't like these things, so she left the chocolates and coffee in her own dormitory.
It's in her suitcase.
After Ji Wanmei returned, she forgot about this incident and didn't even open her suitcase.
Now, after Fang Xiaoqin's sarcastic boast, Ji Wanmei remembered.
She took a box from her cabinet, took out a box of chocolates, and gave a few pieces to Zhou Min.
"These are chocolates that my aunt bought from abroad. I haven't tried them yet, so I don't know if they're good or not."
Zhou Min looked at the exquisite gold foil packaging and examined it with great curiosity: "Wow, it was bought from abroad. It must be very expensive, right? It's even wrapped in this gold foil. It's like a work of art. It's so beautiful. I don't even want to eat it."
"Let's all have a taste." Ji Wanmei handed out chocolates to her other roommates, giving each of them a piece.
The chocolates were packaged in a metal box containing sixteen pieces, each about the size of a glutinous rice ball, wrapped in gold foil in an exquisite shape and tied with a pretty bow.
