Chapter 237 No, I won't lend.
"Xu Yue, let's go get bubble tea this weekend. There's a new 'Typhoon Shelter' shop across the street from my house, and I think they also sell fried skewers..."
Xu Yue shook her head, "I have something to do at home, so I can't go."
Several people encouraged her, "Hey, what could possibly be wrong with you? You only have your grandma at home, just sneak out without her. It's the weekend, why don't you come out and have some fun?"
Xu Yue still didn't agree. "Never mind, I have other things to do. I won't go now. Maybe next time."
"Xu Yue, that's a bit unfair. You won't even go when Brother Hua is treating you. You're not giving him any face at all."
"That's right, that's right. It's been so long since you've come out with us. We have to ask you three or four times. Are we even friends anymore?"
Xu Yue hesitated for a moment, "Can we talk about it later? My grandma has been very strict lately and doesn't let me go out much on weekends."
After being rejected multiple times, Liang Hua looked rather displeased.
Lin Yuru glanced at him, and seeing that he was unhappy, she went up and shook Xu Yue's arm.
"Oh, Xu Yue, just go! I'll cover for you. We grew up together and are neighbors, your grandma won't suspect anything."
Unable to resist her coaxing, Xu Yue hesitated for a moment before finally agreeing.
"Okay, I'll go then. But I really have something to do this weekend. I'm free after school tomorrow, could we reschedule?"
Seeing that she agreed, Liang Hua smiled.
"Sure, why not? As long as you can come."
Lin Yuru raised her hand, looking at Liang Hua expectantly.
"Me, me, me, and me too, Liang Hua, I want to go too."
Liang Hua frowned, seemingly unwilling to agree.
Seeing this, Lin Yuru quietly nudged Xu Yue's arm again.
Xu Yue then looked at Liang Hua and said, "Liang Hua, let Yu Ru go too. If she doesn't go, I don't want to go either."
Liang Hua clicked his tongue and glanced at Lin Yuru with some impatience.
Wherever I go, there's this eyesore, Lin Yuru.
Lin Yuru first shrank her neck, then hooked her arm around Xu Yue's and giggled:
"You can't blame me for this. It's because Xu Yue is my best friend. We're the best of friends."
"Alright, alright, let's go together then."
Lin Yuru cheered, "Liang Hua, you're so kind!"
The group was speaking too loudly, disturbing the students in front who were watching the show. "Hey, could you guys please keep your voices down? There are other people here too."
Lin Yuru glared at him, "What? How is it any of your business if I speak loudly?"
"you……"
Xu Yue smiled apologetically at the man, "Sorry, please continue watching, we'll keep it down."
The man rolled his eyes at them, turned to look at the performance on stage, and stopped complaining.
Lin Yuru pointed at his back and said, "Xu Yue, look, he's even rolling his eyes at us!"
Xu Yue said in a low voice, "Alright, we were the ones who disturbed his viewing of the show first. Let him roll his eyes if he wants, just shut up."
...
Before the awards ceremony at the New Year's Eve party was over, more than half of the students had already left with their chairs.
Shen Xuewei couldn't resist and followed along.
She put the chair back in the classroom and ran to the school store to buy something.
After buying the items, they struggled to squeeze to the other side.
In addition to selling various snacks and stationery, the convenience store also offers charging services.
Many students bring their phones to school, but there are only one or two power outlets in the classrooms, so it's rare to find a chance to charge them.
The school's convenience store always manages to spot business opportunities precisely.
They specially installed a wall full of power strips behind the counter, specifically for students to charge their devices.
Students usually bring universal chargers and batteries to the convenience store to charge them before class in the morning or after evening self-study.
It costs one yuan to top up once.
It only takes one night or a few hours to fully charge.
Following the flow of people, Shen Xuewei finally reached the front and handed the small sign in her hand to the boss.
"Boss, is number 79 ready?"
The boss was busy, saying, "Wait a minute, wait a minute, let me find these guys first."
He was busy like a spinning top, and finally found the universal chargers and batteries for the people in front of him.
As he took the small card from Shen Xuewei, he glanced at the number on it.
He crouched down and found Shen Xuewei's charger among a pile of universal chargers with batteries clipped to them under the transparent counter.
"It's already topped up, here you go."
Shen Xuewei took the things he handed her and struggled to squeeze out.
As she walked, she removed the dead battery from her phone and replaced it with a fully charged one.
She could go home after school tomorrow afternoon, so she didn't put the dead battery at the convenience store to charge it.
Back in the dorm, one of her roommates saw her carrying a bag of snacks and asked:
"Weiwei, did you go to the convenience store just now?"
Shen Xuewei tossed her things onto the bed and said as she took off her shoes, "Yes."
"Oh dear, you went to the convenience store without even telling me. If I had known, I would have asked you to bring something back for me."
The roommate who spoke looked regretful, and her gaze toward Shen Xuewei carried a hint of reproach.
Shen Xuewei glanced at her but ignored her.
She must be crazy to have specifically told her that before going to the convenience store.
This person is the most greedy in the dormitory. They never buy new laundry detergent, shower gel, shampoo, etc. when they run out, and just like to mooch off their roommates.
Living in the same dormitory, we saw each other all the time, so everyone assumed she would only borrow once or twice and stop lending after buying the items.
Unexpectedly, this person became addicted to freeloading and never bought any of those things again.
The girls in the dormitory were shy and embarrassed to refuse, so she rubbed against them for a long time.
In small matters, Shen Xuewei adheres to the principle of "no more than three times."
Once, twice, three times... After asking Shen Xuewei to borrow the same thing for the third time, Shen Xuewei immediately refused, replying with four words.
"No, I won't lend it to you."
This also led to this person frequently telling others that Shen Xuewei was stingy.
Everyone in the dorm knew what was going on, and they didn't really pay any attention to her.
After the first person refused, more and more people refused, and she finally went and bought it herself.
Besides daily necessities, I also ask others to bring things back for me when they go to the convenience store.
However, they never give money on their own initiative; they only give money after others ask them, and then they drag their feet on doing so.
As such incidents occurred frequently, she became unpopular, and now few people in her dormitory are willing to talk to her.
Seeing that Shen Xuewei ignored her, she muttered a couple of things, but it was unclear what she was saying.
The dormitory lights went out; it was time to sleep. She turned over heavily, expressing her dissatisfaction.
Her roommate, who had been sleeping in the same bed, opened her eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then closed them again, choosing not to argue with her.
The next day, during a break between classes, Shen Xuewei went to a secluded corner to make a phone call to Chen Fanglan.
"Auntie, what time are you free? Should I wait for you at the station, or should I go back and wait for you there?"
With the weekend coinciding with New Year's Day, Shen Xuewei and Chen Fanglan had arranged a few days prior to return to their village together.
Chen Fanglan's hoarse and weak voice came from the other end of the line, "Weiwei, I'm not going back yet. You go back by yourself."
