Chapter 67: Being spoiled

Ke Liman smiled and said, "After all, you helped me a lot back then, so I thought it was a rare opportunity for me to help you once."

Zhu Qian patted Ke Liman on the shoulder and said, "So, sister-in-law, don't think anything of me coming to the academy to study with you. I came here voluntarily!"

"And..." Zhu Xi smiled shyly, and then said, "Actually, I also want to experience college life. I went abroad with my elder brother before I finished high school, so I don't know what it's like to go to college!"

Ke Liman opened the dormitory door. She still lived in the original dormitory, but her roommate had changed from Wang Jingying to Zhu Qian.

Fu Nanyin hasn't come to school for many days, and Xu Xiatong is not in the dormitory either. It's a rare moment of silence.

Ke Liman looked at Zhu Qian curiously and said, "There is a lot of ashes on your table. There is a rag outside. I will use it to wipe it for you."

Zhu Qian was flattered and said, "No, no, how can I let my sister-in-law help me with work!"

"I've already said it before, we're all classmates from now on, so don't call me sister-in-law."

Ke Liman went to the balcony to get a rag, and in a short while the table was wiped clean.

Zhu Qian stuck out her tongue in embarrassment. "Thank you, Xiaoman. I didn't expect that after you knew my identity, you would still be willing to help me do these things."

"Identity?" Ke Liman was somewhat helpless. "In my eyes, you saved my life and are also my friend. What difference in identity can there be?"

"You really consider me a friend?"

Zhu Qian was a little surprised. She had always been around men since she was a child. Other girls were disdainful or even disgusted with her, so she still had no female friends.

Ke Liman answered everything with actions. She helped Zhu Qian tidy up the table, then went to the closet to take out her spare sheets and quilt covers, climbed up to the bunk and started to put the quilt on her.

Zhu Qian waved her hand nonchalantly, "Does this thing need a cover? Normally when I'm abroad, I only need a straw mat!"

"That's because you don't have the conditions when you're abroad. Girls, now that you have the conditions, you should sleep better."

Zhu Qian was so moved that she almost shed tears. Ke Liman quickly made the bed and came down.

At this time, Xu Xiatong came back.

She still looked as elegant as ever, as if Wang Jingying's departure had no effect on her at all.

"She is Xu Xiatong?"

Zhu Qian asked very loudly, without any reservation.

She has almost found out everything that happened in Ke Liman's dormitory before. As long as she is there, there is no way Ke Liman will be bullied!

"What's up?"

Xu Xiatong raised her eyebrows and looked Zhu Qian up and down. "Hey! Which country are these refugees from?"

Zhu Qian is a native of Country M. Her facial features are very deep and delicate, but her skin color is a bit more wheat-colored, which is indeed darker than that of people in her country.

"It's okay to say I'm fine, but if you dare mess with our Xiao Man again, I'll make sure you pay the price!"

Zhu Xi has never been fond of dressing up, so she didn't care what Xu Xiatong said about her appearance. She protected Ke Liman behind her like an old hen protecting her cubs.

Ke Liman was a little amused.

Xu Xiatong looked at her vulgar appearance and took a step back in disgust. "Hey! I was wondering why you disappeared for so many days. Turns out you brought a maid home with you?"

"What are you talking about! Me!"

As Zhu Qian spoke, she picked up a chair beside her and was about to smash it on Xu Xiatong's head.

Ke Liman was startled and quickly stopped her, whispering in her ear, "Don't be impulsive!"

Xu Xiatong was obviously frightened by Zhu Qian's action. She glared at the two of them and sat back in her seat.

"Zhu Xi, this is not a foreign country. We still have to abide by school rules and laws."

Ke Li helplessly pulled the angry Zhu Xi back to her seat.

"I know. As long as she doesn't bother us, I will definitely not beat her!" Zhu Qian glanced at Xu Xiatong.

"Get ready, we'll go to class together later."

Ke Liman was too lazy to pay attention to Xu Xiatong and started preparing for her afternoon professional class.

On the way to the classroom, students of the same major were discussing how strict the teacher of the Chinese painting class was. Zhu Qian curiously moved closer to Ke Liman.

"I'm just a relative, so it should be okay if I can't draw."

As they were talking, the two of them had already walked into the classroom, and a red figure came into view.

Yuan Hong was still wearing a red dress. Today she was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and was reading a book seriously.

As soon as they reached the door, they saw some students outside who were afraid to go in. Ke Liman and Zhu Qian were the first to go in and find a seat to sit down.

Xu Xiatong arrived shortly after, and the other students did not dare to enter the classroom until class started.

Yuan Hongyi scanned the class with a serious look and said, "Today, as usual, we will create a work with the theme of landscape, flowers and birds."

"Ah...what? Mountains, rivers, flowers and birds again!"

"Why do you draw these in every class?"

"Yes, we are allowed to draw by ourselves in every class!"

The students in the audience were talking a lot, but no one dared to be too loud. Ke Liman had been on leave for a week, so she didn't feel anything. She quietly picked up the prepared paper and pen and started.

Xu Xiatong was also very calm. She picked up the brush and quickly started to paint on the paper.

Yuan Hongyi continued to read on the surface, but in fact she was secretly observing this group of students.

"Only those who can endure loneliness can become talented. Can't you bear it after just two or three paintings of flowers, birds and landscapes?"

Seeing those people complaining, Yuan Hongyi reminded them in a deep voice: "When you complain, you might as well use your brain to think about whether your drawings are really too bad, so I keep asking you to redraw them."

The classroom gradually quieted down, and after twenty minutes, Yuan Hongyi walked down from the podium.

Classical and soothing music was playing in the classroom. Zhu Xi was already drowsy there, but when she saw the teacher coming down, she immediately perked up.

Her painting featured a stick figure of a blackbird and an enormous flower. The blackbird's eyes were as big as bells, which was frightening.

Zhu Qian was so happy when she saw it, "Li Man! What do you think of my painting? Isn't it very lifelike?"

Ke Liman was a little absent-minded today. She couldn't help but recall what happened with Su Guhuai yesterday. Thinking of the scent of white plum blossoms on his body, her hands couldn't help but paint a picture of white plum blossoms.

Zhu Qian looked at her pretty little hands, and saw that she had just tapped a few plum blossoms in a few strokes. She immediately looked envious: "Wow, Li Man, you're the most advanced one!"

Then I secretly decided that I had to paint seriously too!

When Yuan Hongyi walked up to Zhu Qian, her eyes widened even wider than the bird in her painting.

"You...what are you drawing?!"

At this time, Zhu Qian was painting the mountains behind the bird. She searched for a picture on her mobile phone and copied it carefully.
