After class, Ye Qingqing and Ruan Yingzi waited for Hua Xiaolou downstairs in the teaching building. They had arranged to meet at 4:30, but—
"Have you made your appointment with Hua Xiaolou yet? It's already 4:28." Ruan Yingzi checked the time several times, looking somewhat impatient. She hated waiting for people the most.
What's even more annoying are people who don't keep to their schedules.
Ye Qingqing frowned. "Of course it's agreed. Hua Xiaolou promised to arrive on time. Let's wait a little longer. Maybe he's run into an emergency."
Ruan Yingzi snorted and said with dissatisfaction, "I'll wait five more minutes at most. Let me tell you, people who have no sense of time are not worth associating with. Don't bother with him anymore."
Because of her lateness, Ruan Yingzi's good impression of Hua Xiaolou, which was based on her beauty, was immediately diminished.
"Let's take another look; we can't condemn someone based on a single blow."
Ye Qingqing was also in a bad mood. Although she didn't have the same strong sense of time as Ruan Yingzi, she still disliked people who were late. If Hua Xiaolou was late without any reason, then, just as Ruan Yingzi said, such a person was not worth her treatment.
No matter how attractive Hua Xiaolou's illness was to her.
"Five minutes are up, let's go. Tangyuan said she'd bring me some pea flour cake today, the super delicious kind." Ruan Yingzi lifted her leg to leave; five minutes was her limit.
Ye Qingqing frowned, feeling extremely disappointed in Hua Xiaolou. If she didn't want to come, she could have refused before. She never expected Hua Xiaolou to be this kind of person.
A male classmate walked past, and Ye Qingqing, unwilling to give up, called out to him, "Is Hua Xiaolou in the dormitory? Is he busy?"
When the male student saw it was Ye Qingqing, he was flattered and a little embarrassed. He scratched his head for a while before stammering, "Yes...he...he has something to do..."
"Is it really that important? What's your dorm's phone number?" Ye Qingqing looked displeased, wanting to know just how important it was that Hua Xiaolou had stood her up.
She was really annoyed that someone had stood her up for no reason, and she was determined to find out.
The male student hesitated, as if he was having trouble speaking, and stammered for a long time without saying anything. Ruan Yingzi became impatient and shouted angrily, "Is it so hard to give me a phone number? You can't even remember your own dorm's phone number, can you?"
That's impossible. Anyone who gets into medical school is smart enough to remember a mere phone number.
The male student was somewhat intimidated by Ruan Yingzi and was startled by her shout. With Ye Qingqing watching him, he had no choice but to confess honestly, "Hua Xiaolou can't leave right now; she's being held up."
"What do you mean? Who's got you entangled? Is it on purpose?" Ye Qingqing sensed something was wrong.
"Hey... don't ask anymore. Anyway, Hua Xiaolou can't leave right now, you guys go ahead!"
The male student seemed hesitant and was about to leave after speaking, but Ruan Yingzi grabbed him, saying, "Explain yourself clearly, or you're not allowed to leave."
Ye Qingqing and Ruan Yingzi were both intrigued by the male classmate's words and were determined to find out the truth. The male classmate looked helpless and had no choice but to confess honestly.
"It's Du Peiran."
"Do Du Peiran and Hua Xiaolou have a conflict?"
"It wasn't there before, but it is today."
Ye Qingqing was even more confused by the male classmate's words, but he refused to say anything more, seemingly out of fear of Du Peiran. Ye Qingqing didn't press him and let him go.
The male student breathed a sigh of relief and walked away quickly, as if afraid of being grabbed by Ruan Yingzi again, like he was fleeing a disaster.
"Let's go check out the boys' dormitory!" Ruan Yingzi walked ahead.
