Chapter 303 Trying to take advantage of her? No way!
Huang Xin called her parents with a sob in her voice, and her eyes were swollen after she hung up.
Shen Xuewei put her phone away and handed her a tissue.
Huang Xin wiped away her tears, "I don't want to go back to training..."
Shen Xuewei sighed, "I don't want to either. If you could get a leave slip or something from the counselor, maybe you could avoid it."
Of course, if Huang Xin could get her hands on this, she wouldn't have needed to participate in military training in the first place.
Huang Xin stayed in the infirmary for a while and her body had recovered, but she was reluctant to leave.
"Weiwei, when are we going back?"
Shen Xuewei looked up at the clock on the wall. "We'll go back at 5:30, just in time for the team to regroup."
Huang Xin was unhappy.
"I'm already like this, can't I just go back to the dorm and skip today's training?"
Shen Xuewei shuddered as she recalled the stern, dark face of their class instructor and his strict methods.
"Xiao Xin, think about our instructor's personality. It's fine if you dodge a little bit, but if you keep dodging..."
Huang Xin understood the unspoken meaning in her words, so she stopped talking and simply lay back as if dead.
The infirmary was constantly filled with students who had fainted during military training, keeping the school doctor extremely busy.
Despite her reluctance, when the time came, Shen Xuewei still led Huang Xin toward the group.
When I arrived at the group, it was just as training was ending and the whole grade was preparing to assemble.
Shen Xuewei secretly praised herself and stood ramrod straight in the line.
The entire military training lasted for more than ten days, and after the military training performance, liberation finally arrived.
Watching the instructors shout slogans and march away in unison, some students in the class burst into tears.
Huang Xin, with tears in her eyes, waved goodbye to the instructor as he left.
She cried not because she was reluctant to see her instructor leave, but because she was happy that her days of suffering were finally over.
The military training ended on a Friday, which coincided with the weekend.
Huang Xin went back to her dormitory, changed her clothes, and then went home.
Su Shu was picked up by her friend in a sports car right at the school gate after military training ended.
Only Shen Xuewei and Lu Jiayi remained in the dormitory.
After dinner, the two returned to their dorm and washed up. They lay on their beds looking at the club flyers in their hands.
During this period, some school clubs distributed flyers and displayed posters at the entrance of the school cafeteria, introducing the club's features and recruitment information.
Some student organizations even come directly to the dormitories with flyers to promote their programs.
Shen Xuewei and the others received at least twenty flyers, from various clubs, which dazzled them.
"Weiwei, there are so many clubs at school, which one would you like to join?"
Lu Jiayi put down the flyer in her hand and noticed that Shen Xuewei was still looking at it, so she couldn't help but ask.
Shen Xuewei casually replied, "I haven't decided yet. There are so many clubs at school. I'll find out more when they recruit new members. There's no rush."
She wasn't just being perfunctory with Lu Jiayi; she genuinely hadn't thought it through.
There are over a hundred clubs and societies of all sizes in the school, which is dazzling.
Anyway, there's going to be a massive recruitment drive for clubs soon, so it's not too late to learn more about them then.
Seeing that she hadn't made up her mind, Lu Jiayi suggested, "Then let's invite Xiaoxin and Su Shu along to go and find out together?"
Shen Xuewei put the flyer aside and lay down with her eyes closed.
"I have no objection. Let's ask them when they get back."
"Okay, they'll be back the day after tomorrow. I'll ask them if they want to come along."
After a while, Lu Jiayi went to the bathroom and came back. She wanted to chat with Shen Xuewei for a bit, but Shen Xuewei didn't respond.
She stood in front of Shen Xuewei's desk, tiptoed and peered into Shen Xuewei's bed, only to find that Shen Xuewei was already asleep.
The next day, Shen Xuewei woke up feeling refreshed. She changed her clothes, grabbed her bag, and was about to go out when Lu Jiayi followed closely behind her.
"Weiwei, where are you going? I'm so bored in the dorm, I want to go with you."
"I'm going out to buy something and won't be back until very late, so it's not convenient to take you with me."
Shen Xuewei refused.
The more she refused, the more determined Lu Jiayi became to go with her. "It's okay, I'm bored anyway, so I might as well go for a walk with you."
Since things had come to this point, and considering they were roommates, Shen Xuewei couldn't refuse and had no choice but to bring her along.
After eating in the cafeteria, the two headed straight for the school gate.
Shen Xuewei hailed a taxi and asked the driver to take her to He Guang Tiandi.
Even though it's only 2009, the shopping malls in Shanghai are already far more prosperous than some second- or third-tier malls a decade or so later.
He Guang Tiandi is a large-scale department store jointly developed by Gangcheng International Group and a large company in Shanghai.
As a well-known high-end department store in Shanghai, it brings together hundreds of famous domestic and foreign brands and is located in a bustling business district, attracting a large number of customers.
As Shen Xuewei and Lu Jiayi stepped into the mall, they were immediately hit in the face by a blast of cool air.
Lu Jiayi looked at the wide variety of goods inside and was greatly amazed.
Seeing that Shen Xuewei had already started walking inside, she quickly followed.
Shen Xuewei came today mainly to buy some clothes and a computer.
She only brought a few sets of clothes, all of which were for summer. It was already mid-September, and October was fast approaching.
October is almost autumn in Shanghai, and the weather will gradually turn cooler, so she needs to buy some winter clothes.
In addition, she uses a computer every day for stock trading and writing novels, so it's time to buy this computer.
Fortunately, she had already accumulated a lot of drafts before the start of the semester, which prevented the novel from being interrupted.
If she stops updating... I bet the readers will start criticizing her again.
Recalling the comments section where readers had been relentlessly attacking her and threatening to send her razor blades, Shen Xuewei felt a chill run down her spine.
Write!
She bought the computer and will definitely start writing as soon as possible.
Since she rarely visited such a large shopping mall and had so much free time, Shen Xuewei didn't rush straight upstairs. Instead, she browsed through each floor before heading to the next.
The first floor sells all kinds of high-end cosmetics and skincare products; basically, any brand you can think of can be found here.
She doesn't have a high demand for cosmetics right now. Chen Fanglan gave her a few lipsticks before, so she doesn't need to buy any more. However, she could buy some skincare products.
At around 16 years old, her skin was plump and supple, with a natural pinkish-white hue; youth was her greatest radiance.
At this point, she doesn't need to buy those functional skincare products; she only needs to buy some gentle moisturizing and basic cleansing products.
She stopped in front of one of the counters, and a sales assistant came over, asked about her needs, and quickly recommended a suitable set of products to her.
Shen Xuewei paid the bill, picked up her things, and stepped onto the elevator to the second floor. Lu Jiayi quickly followed.
She glanced at the bag in Shen Xuewei's hand. "Weiwei, this set of skincare products costs over a thousand yuan. You're willing to spend that much?"
Shen Xuewei gave a soft "hmm" and said, "Going out to buy things is about spending money, it's nothing."
Lu Jiayi's eyes were filled with longing, "I really envy you, you can buy things worth over a thousand yuan just like that, unlike me..."
Shen Xuewei ignored the hopeful look in her eyes.
She's not like Huang Xin, who would buy a gift for Lu Jiayi just because Lu Jiayi says something.
It's her business if she has money; what does it have to do with Lu Jiayi?
She came of her own accord; it wasn't her who asked her to come.
If you want to buy something, pay for it yourself. Don't try to take advantage of her!
