Ye Qingqing and Ruan Yingzi slowly walked towards the commercial street. Thinking about what Lu Ziqun and the others had said earlier, Ye Qingqing also had doubts in her heart, because she also felt that her meal card was spending money a little too quickly.
When she went home last time, she asked Lu Mo, and he said that Lu Mo had recharged 500 yuan at the beginning of the semester, but when she checked her account balance yesterday, there was only 400 yuan left.
But she only ate at the cafeteria for less than a month, and she didn't eat much there. She went home on weekends and usually ate at restaurants with Ruan Yingzi. How could she have spent 100 yuan at the cafeteria?
Ye Qingqing hadn't taken it seriously at first, but after hearing what Lü Ziqun said, she felt something was wrong and shared her doubts with Ruan Yingzi.
"It's only a hundred dollars, do you think it's US dollars? Can it last a year?" Ruan Yingzi thought Ye Qingqing was overthinking it and made a sarcastic remark.
Ye Qingqing laughed at herself, perhaps she was just overthinking it!
Even if there really was a thief, they should have stolen money, not meal cards. I guess money just doesn't last long!
The two bought fruit and an ice cream, and slowly walked back to their dormitory. Surprisingly, only Qian Manduo was there, mopping the floor with great effort.
"Where are they?" Ye Qingqing asked.
"I'm going to take a shower."
Qian Manduo had already mopped the floor, leaving it clean and tidy. He was about to wipe the table when Ye Qingqing, feeling a little embarrassed, put down the fruit and prepared to wipe it together.
"No need, no need, I'll be done in a minute."
Qian Manduo waved her hands repeatedly. She had eaten so much meat from others these past few days, and she had to work to repay them; otherwise, she wouldn't feel at ease eating it.
Ye Qingqing didn't insist. She divided the grapes she bought in half and asked Qian Manduo to take them back to eat later. Ruan Yingzi was going to put the remaining change back in the drawer.
Ruan Yingzi was very casual. She pulled the drawer open with one hand, held an ice cream cone in the other, licking it as she went. She had a wad of cash in her hand, which she tossed into the drawer before closing it. The cash was quite a lot, and it just happened to be wiping her face.
She glanced at it casually, frowned, thought for a moment, and then decided to ask, "Did you put the money in the bank?"
Ruan Yingzi looked at her strangely and shook her head, "No!"
Qian Manduo's expression changed drastically, and he pointed to the drawer, asking, "Then where's your money?"
Such a thick wad of money, and not a single bill is left. Even though it wasn't her money, the fact that there was so much money still breaks her heart.
Ruan Yingzi followed her hand down and her expression changed. She opened the drawer a little and looked inside. She rummaged around for a long time but didn't see a single piece of money.
"Where's my money? It was still there when I left..." Ruan Yingzi muttered to herself, not panicking, after all, she really didn't care about a few thousand yuan.
Qian Manduo was frantic, so frightened that she threw down the rag and rushed over to search with Ruan Yingzi. In the end, she simply pulled out the drawer and emptied its contents, scattering hair clips, coins, combs and other miscellaneous items all over the floor.
I didn't see any money.
"Could you have misremembered? Have you already deposited the money?" Qian Manduo asked.
Ye Qingqing chimed in, "Impossible! It was still there when I left. I saw it. It's only been a short while!"
Qian Manduo said definitively, "Then it was stolen by a thief. We should report it to the teacher immediately."
Lu Ziqun returned with wet hair and a basin in her hand containing a change of dirty clothes. Seeing the pile of debris on the ground, Ye Qingqing and the others looked puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?"
“Ruan Yingzi’s money is gone; it’s the money Dong Siyue used to buy the phone,” Ye Qingqing said.
