"Comrade Cao, there's really no need for that. I'm just staying in the dormitory for a short time. I'll be going home to live later."
“After returning home, we spend most of our time in the classroom at school, so we have less time to interact.”
"Besides, we're not in the same department, so we don't know each other well and have nothing to talk about. There's no need for us to force ourselves to be together."
"I think our dorm is pretty good, and you'll definitely be able to become good friends with everyone in the future."
Suti thought that if she didn't explain herself, the woman would just pretend not to understand. Such a person was like sticky candy; once you got on her, you couldn't get rid of her.
Cao Jiajia was stunned, and only came to her senses when she heard Sun Miaomiao's mocking laughter coming from the other side.
Cao Jiajia didn't expect Su Ti to be so ruthless. She just wanted to be friends with her, how could she be so arrogant?
She couldn't figure out what she had said that offended someone, but she forgot that friendship requires sincerity in return, and nobody is a fool.
She saw Chen Tong following behind without saying a word, while Li Shuyi over there was avoiding eye contact, afraid of being dragged into it.
"Alright, we're all in the same dorm, Jiajia, don't be angry. Suti, what you said earlier wasn't right either. We're all classmates."
Seeing that the room was so quiet and no one was speaking, Zhan Manman took the initiative to stand up.
"..."
Suti had never seen anyone so eager to take on everything. If Zhan Manman could truly be convincing, that would be one thing.
It was obvious that no one was convinced, and Suti felt that sooner or later they would have a falling out with Zhan Manman.
The dormitory finally quieted down, and apart from the occasional person peeking in her direction, there was nothing wrong.
When it was almost time, Suti was the first to leave the dormitory; she didn't want to stay there for even a minute longer.
In the following days, the dormitory became inexplicably quiet when she was the only one there.
Every time she came back, Cao Jiajia would deliberately talk to this person and that person, trying to exclude her.
Suti didn't care. She had plenty of time on her schedule. Their foreign language teacher was highly qualified; she heard he was a special person who had been brought in by Peking University and higher authorities.
He must be someone with a very impressive background. From the first day when everyone looked completely clueless, he later revised the learning plan according to everyone's level.
Suti was able to catch up quickly, and with her additional training, her theoretical knowledge was still an advantage.
With Cheng Qing's help, she was able to keep up with the teacher's pace in just a few days.
The class monitor even set up a study group for them. At first, they couldn't open their mouths, but later, when they spoke foreign languages, everyone burst into laughter.
Now they can greet each other simply and awkwardly, but Suti is still in a group with Guo Lili and Cheng Qing.
Over the course of the week, Suti gradually distanced himself from the people in the dormitory. Apart from necessary interactions, he would usually just sleep when he came back.
At noon, she would stay on the playground outside with Guo Lili and the others.
"We're going to have a holiday tomorrow, but it's only for one day." Perhaps because the college entrance examination has just been reinstated, the curriculum is quite demanding, so the holiday is only one day long.
"One day is good enough, it's better than not being able to leave." As soon as get out of class ended, Su Ti packed up her books and prepared to go back to her dormitory to get some things to take home.
"By the way, Suti, I'm going to see Chaochao and Hehe tomorrow." Guo Lili was still thinking about this.
“Okay, you know my address.” Suti told her how to take the tram and how to get there.
"Suti, can I go?" Cheng Qing was also about to go home, but when she saw that they had made plans to hang out together, she wanted to join in the fun.
She knew that Suti had two twin sons, and she was curious about them, but she was even more curious about Suti's husband.
She was very curious to know who the man Suti was willing to marry was, and she smiled broadly several times when she mentioned him.
She knew about Suti's man's background, but she felt that if Suti didn't want to, she wouldn't have come to Beijing with him at all.
The two women never talked behind her back; she knew that Su Ti's family was from Shanghai and that they were quite powerful.
To be honest, they are a good match. Suti is so devoted to him, so he must have some merits.
“Of course,” Suti said, welcoming the idea; neither of them were unaware of the consequences.
Guo Lili was someone I knew well back in the countryside, and I knew almost everything about her later life.
Cheng Qing is from Beijing, and her family is well-off. If she goes back and asks, her grandfather and father might even know her family. She has nothing to hide.
The three of them made the appointment, and Suti hurriedly went back to his dormitory to pack his things.
She wanted to take the clothes home to wash them. Baichuan had packed a week's worth of clothes for her, and she washed everything except for the cotton-padded jacket, which was inconvenient to wash.
It's just that it's not good to dry clothes in the dormitory because there are too many people. She can never win against them. She thinks there's a smell, so she plans to go back and wash them again.
She tidied up everything else, even rolling up the blankets on the bed to take them back and air them out.
"What does she mean by this? She's keeping an eye on us. She's locked everything up and even took the blankets with her."
As soon as Su Ti left, Cao Jiajia was the first to express her dissatisfaction.
Ever since Suti confronted her about it that day, she has led the other girls in the dorm to ostracize her, but she doesn't care at all.
I came back later and later each day, and when I did come back, I just slept and read books, and didn't talk to them.
It was obvious that she looked down on them; she wasn't like this when she saw her with others in the cafeteria last time.
She had observed that the two girls she was hanging out with seemed to come from well-off families, as the meals they ordered included both meat and vegetables.
Another person was wearing a watch, and the other person's clothes had no patches whatsoever.
Suti clearly felt that it would be beneath her to associate with them; she only associated with people who were well-off.
"Jiajia, Suti probably wants to take it back to air it out," Zhan Manman said, frowning as she tried to persuade her.
"You're such a nice guy, you're everywhere. Did I say anything to you? What's it to you?" Cao Jiajia was in a bad mood right now.
Zhan Manman suddenly ran right into her line of fire.
"How could you say that to me? I'm the oldest in the dorm. I just hope we can get along well, since we'll be living together for a semester."
Zhan Manman asked last time, and it turns out that students must live on campus during the first semester of school; that's the school's rule.
So Su Ti definitely won't be able to move this semester. It's not good for them to keep having conflicts; how will they be evaluated for outstanding dormitories in the future?
"What business is it of yours whether we get along or not? We may want to get along with others, but they may not want to get along with us."
"If you're really so capable, go talk to Suti! All you ever say is the same old thing. Do you think you're still the head of the Women's Federation?"
Cao Jiajia had disliked Zhan Manman for a long time, and after a week, she had figured out everyone's situation.
