This made her feel as if the past twenty years had passed in the blink of an eye, and she was still the young female student sitting and chattering with her friends in the roast duck restaurant.
Qin Ying's emotions were in turmoil, but she didn't want the two children to notice her abnormality, so she lowered her head and took another bite to hide her emotions.
The next two dishes tasted good too, and the duck bone soup was especially delicious. One sip made my pores open up comfortably.
The dishes Qin Ying ordered were quite large, and the three of them were full. After finishing their meal, they took a walk nearby to help digest the food, and did not return to the Youth Culture Palace until around four in the afternoon.
Before reaching the dormitory, Su Qingyun heard a shout from behind.
"Qingyun!"
She turned around and saw that Li Xiaoxiao and the other two seemed to have just returned from outside. They were holding things in their hands, transparent plastic bags filled with brightly colored hair ties and hairpins.
"Did you go shopping in the department store?" Su Qingyun asked with a smile.
"Yes." Li Xiaoxiao said excitedly, "As expected of Beijing, the department store is huge. There are so many things that I'm dazzled. Look at what we bought. Are they good-looking?"
"nice."
"If I had enough money, I would definitely buy more." Li Xiaoxiao looked regretful.
Zhang Xiaofang also said: "That's right, there are too many good things, but I don't have enough money. But this is my fault, not theirs."
This sad and angry tone made Su Qingyun laugh.
"We also visited the Forbidden City and the Great Wall. The Forbidden City was truly magnificent, but climbing the Great Wall was too tiring, so we didn't manage to go up."
"Exactly. It's too tiring. Although they say you're not a true man until you've climbed the Great Wall, we're women, not heroes, hahahaha."
The girls were not in a hurry to go back to the dormitory, but started chatting in the corridor. There were many contestants passing by, but it was rare that four girls knew each other, so they attracted a lot of people's attention.
"Hey, Aying, look at that girl over there." A dormitory next to them was occupied by contestants from the Beijing No. 1 Middle School team. Two girls came out together and saw Su Qingyun and the others. One of them had a strange expression on her face.
"That's the girl in the ruffled collar shirt, did you see her?"
"What's wrong?" Lu Ying glanced over nonchalantly.
"That girl looks like you." The people around him exclaimed.
Lu Ying's expression changed and he looked over seriously. The four girls in the corridor were all good-looking, but the most eye-catching one was the girl in the middle wearing a white lotus leaf collar shirt. She had an outstanding temperament, a slender figure, a porcelain-white complexion, and a smile on her face that made people feel like spring breeze.
But her face...
After seeing her face clearly, Lu Ying was shocked and her mind went blank. How could they be so similar? The girl's eyebrows and eyes were at least 30% similar to hers. What was going on?
"Qingyun, Xiaofang, Xiaoxia, let's go back to the dormitory." Li Xiaoxiao said, and the words went into Lu Ying's ears.
Qingyun? Lu Ying was suddenly stunned. Which Qingyun? She remembered the name she had heard outside her father's study that morning, Su Qingyun. Could it be her?
"Su Qingyun?" Seeing the person walking away, Lu Ying couldn't help but mutter.
"Is that Su Qingyun?" The girl next to him suddenly widened her eyes in surprise.
Lu Ying came back to his senses, looked at her, frowned and asked, "Do you know her?"
"I know her, and I don't know her either," the girl said. "I only know her name, but I don't know what she looks like."
"What's the meaning?"
"Su Qingyun is the girl from that group of very talented contestants from Province S that Teacher Zhao mentioned. Ah Ying, didn't you hear it then?" There was some admiration in the girl's eyes.
Seeing that Lu Ying looked unhappy, she quickly added, "However, it's normal that you don't notice these things because you're usually busy."
Everyone in their group knew that the reason why Lu Ying joined the team was because of Wu Jiayan. Apart from Wu Jiayan, she didn't care about anyone else. She didn't even contribute much to their team's work. But who could blame her for her wealthy family? She could get experimental materials that others couldn't get just by talking, so they could only treat her like a young lady.
"Is she very good?"
"It's... it's okay." The girl hesitated, "But we are confident that we won't be worse than others."
Lu Ying sneered, "You're from a small place, and you dare to compete with us?"
It turned out that this was the person her father asked her to take care of, and she would definitely take good care of him.
