Chapter 173

Chapter 173

Jian Li thought that going back to the dormitory would just be free time, so it would be better to go to Cheng Yu's house with her.

"Okay, okay."

After a pause, Jian Li asked again: "By the way, doesn't our brother live here too?"

When in Taocheng, Jian Li often stayed at Cheng Yu's house because she played too long on weekends. But she was the only one at Cheng Yu's house at that time. If Cheng Yu's brother was there, it would be inappropriate.

Cheng Yu thought for a moment and said, "He is a senior this year and is very busy at school. He usually won't come back."

Since Cheng Yu's brother didn't come back, Jian Li no longer had the psychological burden and became excited to buy some ingredients to make hot pot at Cheng Yu's house.

Cheng Yu: "Let's go tomorrow. I know there's a vegetable market here. Let's go out and buy some vegetables tomorrow."

Cheng Yu took her through the alley, and the further they went, the lower the buildings around them became.

Jian Li: "...Isn't your house near the Forbidden City?"

Cheng Yu: "How is that possible!"

Jian Ligang is in high spirits.

Cheng Yu: "It takes more than 20 minutes to walk from my home to the Forbidden City!"

Jian Li: “…”

I'm going to fight you rich people.

When they got there, Jane Li felt even more sour.

Cheng Yu's house is a courtyard house. Although it is small, it is a real courtyard house. The gate has obviously been repaired, and there are two small stone lions at the door. Cheng Yu found the key in his bag and invited Jian Li to come in.

"...Don't look at me like that. This is my grandma's house. My grandma was born here many years ago."

Cheng Yu took Jian Li for a walk in the yard and explained the origin of the house.

"My grandma and my great-grandmother's ancestors had some wealth, but later on, they both did research, so they handed over the house and everything else. Strictly speaking, our family's household registration was originally here. My grandma and my great-grandmother were transferred to a university in another city to avoid the spotlight, and when the house was returned to them, they had just retired and were rehired. So this house has been empty. Later, my brother came to the capital and cleaned up the place. He doesn't come here very often. Sometimes, when he is too busy to go back to school, he will stay here for a night..."

The yard was not big enough, so a viewing tank was placed in the middle. The main room was spacious and bright, and was decorated as a living room and a study. The side rooms and ear rooms were converted into bedrooms and kitchens.

Cheng Yu opened the door of a side room and said, "I live in this room. My brother renovated it before I came. Does it look okay?"

The decoration of the house was elegant, without many complicated decorations. Jian Li gave him a thumbs up and praised him, "My brother has a good sense of aesthetics."

The decoration of the house is fine, mainly because many old-style courtyard houses have drainage problems. Brother Cheng Yu obviously solved it early on. There is no problem with the drainage in this courtyard house, so there is no need to go to the toilet outside.

Jian Li liked it more and more, and asked Cheng Yu: "Are there any houses like this around you?"

This independent, renovated courtyard house with a good location attracted Jian Li at first sight.

Cheng Yu: "How would I know that? Do you want to buy it?"

Jian Li rubbed her hands together and said, "Here... let's take a look at the price."

After all, it is a scarce product. Even if Jian Li wants to buy it, she has to see if anyone wants to sell it.

Cheng Yu: "I don't know the price, but I know that a few years ago, someone asked my mom about it, and I think the price was five million."

Jian Li: ...

Very good, the idea is gone!

Jian Li lay down on Cheng Yu's bed: "I've decided, I won't go out tomorrow!"

To live enough!

Of course Cheng Yu welcomed them. Even though they had just started school, they both had a lot to say. When Cheng Yu talked about the dormitory, she didn't have the same good impression as Jian Li. There was a girl in their dormitory who was difficult to get along with.

"Why is it so difficult to get along?"

Cheng Yu tilted her head and thought for a while: "It's just... there are not many boys in our class. When she introduced herself at the beginning of the school year, she cried. She said that it was her first time away from home and she missed her parents very much. She said that she had never been to such a far place since she was a child and had never washed her own clothes. She was very scared... Then many boys in the class comforted her, and the counselor also said that if she encountered any difficulties, she could find the counselor to report the problem."

Jian Li: "Then maybe she really is not adapting well to college life."

Cheng Yu looked constipated: "But...she cried in our dormitory on the first night of school. We all stayed up all night to comfort her."

There were only six girls in Cheng Yu's class, and they all lived in a six-person dormitory. On the first day of school, many people missed home, and Cheng Yu herself couldn't help but shed two tears in her quilt.

But soon, the girl's sobbing woke everyone up.

"She cried and said she didn't mean it, that she just missed home too much. She also said her parents loved her very much at home, that she couldn't even fold her quilt, and didn't know how to wash clothes... She said exactly the same things as she did at the class meeting."

Jian Li was speechless.

"I thought it was weird at first, but two people in our dormitory didn't think very highly of her. As a result, during the military training, she always didn't make up her quilt, which caused our dormitory to be deducted points. Every time she was deducted points, she would cry. The other people in our dormitory ignored her because of her crying. I felt that it was inappropriate to deduct points all the time, so I helped her make up her quilt. Now it seems that the other people in the dormitory have also distanced themselves from me..."

Jian Li: "Haha, you let her cry, just ignore her."

What bothered Cheng Yu the most was this: "But...she always talks to me..."

Cheng Yu couldn't save face. The other girls in the dormitory looked cold and the girl looked timid. Cheng Yu was stuck in the middle and had to try her best to smooth things over every time.

As a result, the girl would always look for Cheng Yu whenever she had something to do.

Cheng Yu also felt bad, but she had never lived in a dormitory in high school, and her only friends were Jian Li and a few others. She thought that when she went to college, the classmates she met would be people she could get along with, but within a few days of school, she found herself in such an environment.

Jian Li turned over and said, "Why don't you tell your brother?"

Cheng Yu: “…I won’t tell you.”

My brother, who always does what he wants, can't understand her feelings at all!

Jian Li rolled her eyes: "Then I won't tell you either."

Cheng Yu said pitifully: "Good Xiaoli, please analyze it for me. I really don't understand why it has become like this now."

From Cheng Yu's perspective, that girl was a little... fake, but she didn't need to isolate herself at the beginning of the school year. But if she was really entangled with such a person, she would always feel unhappy.

Sometimes, when she was clearly going to the school library, the girl would say pitifully that she wanted to go shopping for clothes but didn't want to go alone and asked Cheng Yu to accompany her.

Cheng Yu didn't know how to say no, and after just one month, she felt that college life was not as good as she had imagined.

Jian Li was convinced by Cheng Yu's big temper, and hid under the quilt angrily: "If you want to be a temper, don't make me angry!"

Cheng Yu hugged Jian Li's blanket like an octopus: "No, I just want to piss you off! Tell me now, or I'll be suffocated to death sooner or later."

Jian Li pushed aside the quilt, and her whole life was hopeless: "Cheng Yu, do you know some people who will automatically look for blood bags in the crowd?"

"If you don't refuse and defend your boundaries, you will become a blood bag sooner or later. It's either this person's blood bag or that person's blood bag."

Jian Li recalled the detours she had taken in her previous life and couldn't help but sigh.

Who hasn’t been someone else’s blood bag in their life?

Jian Li still feels uneasy about the tuition fees she has to pay in the workplace.

Cheng Yu shuddered.

Jian Li: "To put it bluntly, sometimes it's right to trust your intuition. If you are unhappy about something, just refuse it. If she cries, you can cry too. After all, emotions are not high or low. Don't sacrifice your own interests to satisfy other people's emotions. And..."

"Think about what you want to do and don't invest too much time and energy in any one relationship."

Cheng Yu thought for a while, then clapped his hands: "You are right!"

Why did she have to fall into this kind of hellish confrontation? She went to college to learn professional knowledge and do what she wanted to do. But now she is stuck in a small circle of six people.

I was always worried in the dormitory, afraid that I would cry alone, and afraid that the others would distance themselves from me. I also had to think about easing the relationship between the two sides...

Now that I think about it, before she went to college, she clearly wanted to study hard and gain more knowledge!

Now a month has passed, and I haven’t even been to the school library many times…

Cheng Yu was filled with remorse and felt that he was simply too stupid.

Jian Li: "You're not stupid, it's just..."

The tuition fee has not been paid.

If you meet a few more people like this, sooner or later you will become immune to all poisons.

The two of them were chatting and chirping until midnight.

The next day, Jian Li slept until noon before she got up lazily to wash up.

After washing up, both of them were hungry. They looked at the watch and it was already eleven o'clock, so they simply went out to buy some vegetables and then went home to cook hot pot.

Cheng Yu had ready-made pots, pans, stoves and stoves at home, so Jian Li decided to just buy some ingredients and base sauce.

There was a vegetable market not far away, and the two bought various vegetables and beef and mutton rolls. Jian Li wanted to eat shrimp noodles, but there were no ready-made ones for sale in the market, so she could only buy a few pounds of shrimp and plan to make them herself.

In addition, I also bought some Erba Sauce and chive sauce. Jian Li searched the market and bought two packets of base ingredients.

Cheng Yu: "...How do you know this is for sale?"

At first, Jian Li said she wanted to eat hot pot, and she was still thinking about how to cook it at home.

Jian Li responded casually: "Have you forgotten what my father does?"

In fact, Jian Feng’s current seasoning business has nothing to do with this area. It will take several more years for hot pot base to develop significantly.

The two of them returned home carrying large and small bags. Just as Cheng Yu was about to take out the key to open the door, the door opened by itself.

A tall boy opened the door.

Cheng Yu saw the other party and shouted "Brother."

Only then did Jian Li realize who the other person was. Without even bothering to look at the other person's expression, she also called him "Brother".

Tao Xingjian: "...Come in."

Pick up a sister for nothing.
