"Then help me hang up the curtains first."
Song Ruan brought over a few finely crafted light yellow curtains and white gauze and handed them to Zhao Meili.
"This white one is hung outside, and the yellow one is hung here inside the house."
"You want me to put up curtains?"
Zhao Meili was stunned for a moment, then she reacted.
"I finally understand. You are here to do hard labor for me! Your good taste and broad knowledge are all lies, humph!"
"How can you say that? Labor is glorious. Hurry up." Song Ruan urged without any guilt.
Zhao Meili glanced at Song Ruan, then at the top of the high window. She really couldn't bear to see a pregnant woman climbing up and down.
"Hmph, let me tell you, I have never done such rough work before. You are the only one who can make me do this kind of work."
Although Zhao Meili hummed, she moved quickly and climbed onto the table in front of the window nimbly.
"Yes, yes, I absolutely admit this fact! Thank you Miss Zhao for your kindness!"
Song Ruan was not idle either. While Zhao Meili was hanging the curtains, she had already folded the quilt and made the bed sheets.
Then they took out all the clothes they had moved and hung them on the closet one by one.
After putting away all the odds and ends I brought with me, the whole room looked brand new.
With these things, the bedroom immediately becomes very warm.
In particular, the light yellow curtains and white curtains match the yellow wooden furniture in the room very well.
After finishing her work, Zhao Meili sat down on her bed and couldn't help patting the soft mattress beneath her.
"It's still more comfortable to live in a big house. The dormitory doesn't even have a closet to hang clothes, so I can only fold them in my bag. Humph, I'll go ask the teacher to apply to live off campus!"
Zhao Meili didn't want to live in the school dormitory at first, but she was unable to apply for it at the beginning. Later, she became familiar with Song Ruan and the others, and she didn't want to live outside anymore.
But now, after seeing Song Ruan moving out, she also wanted to move out.
When Zhao Meili said she wanted to move out, she was not just saying it. In less than a week, her parents bought her a house and let her move out.
That house is right next to Song Ruan's house, only a few buildings away.
"This way, you can go to get out of class together and go home together." Liu Guilan said enviously.
It was break time now, and everyone was sitting in the classroom talking in low voices. When this topic came up, Zhao Meili happened to tell her what was in her mind.
"Gui Lan, why don't you move in with me? I'm the only one living in that house anyway. If you move in, the three of us can go to get out of class together, eat together, read and study together, and go home together like before."
"No, that's too much trouble. I think living in the dormitory is pretty good. Besides, we can still see each other during class, eat together, and study together. Isn't it the same as before?"
"...That's true." Zhao Meili nodded. She felt that it made sense, so she didn't force her.
"Liu Guilan, someone is looking for you!!"
As the two were talking, a loud voice suddenly came from the classroom door.
Everyone was silenced by the shout, and couldn't help but look at the people outside the corridor.
As soon as Liu Guilan left, they started murmuring.
"The man who came to see Liu Guilan is Tao Sanjin from the Chinese department next door, right?"
"Yes, I just took a look, it's him."
"Oh my god, Tao Sanjin has changed his target again? This time it's Liu Guilan?"
"Who is this Tao Sanjin? Is he famous?" a classmate next to him couldn't help but ask.
When Zhao Meili heard this, she also pricked up her ears.
"You may not know this, but Tao Sanjin often expresses his affection to his female classmates, and he only looks for older girls. Besides being older himself, I heard from others that he thinks older girls are easier to get!"
"But that's not right. Doesn't this classmate Liu Guilan already have a husband?"
"Tsk, what's the big deal? Many educated youth who went to the countryside couldn't support themselves by farming, so they chose to marry in the local countryside. Now that they've been admitted to university, they will naturally abandon their rural partners and find new ones."
"Also, it is said that Tao Sanjin can write poetry, and his poems are particularly charming. He got a high score in the college entrance examination based on a poem in his composition, which allowed him to be admitted to Kyoto University."
"So what do you think... Did Liu Guilan fall in love with Tao Sanjin and then abandon him..."
The more Zhao Meili listened, the more she felt something was wrong, and she immediately shouted, "Hey! Shut up! You all are talking nonsense when you know nothing! Liu Guilan, the person involved, doesn't know as much as you do!"
"Yes, the parties involved haven't even expressed their opinions yet, and you've made up a drama about this?" Song Ruan also said.
Song Ruan has been feeling more and more sleepy recently, and she couldn't help dozing off even in class. So, as soon as the teacher left, she fell asleep on the table.
However, she also knew that she still had classes later, so she didn't dare to sleep too deeply. Zhao Meili's shout just now woke her up.
Although she didn't know what had happened, seeing that Liu Guilan was not there, Zhao Meili was filled with anger. Combined with the surrounding situation, it was not difficult to guess that someone was gossiping behind her back.
There is gossip wherever there are people, let alone a group of young people who usually just study and read, and their only entertainment is gossiping with each other.
Therefore, as her friend, she naturally had to help Liu Guilan and not let Liu Guilan be slandered.
"Song Ruan, are you awake? Did you hear that? They were just arranging Gui Lan, humph!"
When Zhao Meili saw Song Ruan wake up, she felt a little excited and a little aggrieved.
Song Ruan immediately patted him in a soothing manner, then turned around and said pointedly: "They are slandering others behind their backs now, and maybe one day they will be slandered too, but they can't defend themselves."
After Song Ruan said this, the voices of discussion around them quieted down a lot. After all, it is indeed dishonorable to talk about people behind their backs.
"Song Ruan, do you think Guilan will really..." Zhao Meili leaned close to Song Ruan's ear and said hesitantly.
Song Ruan glanced at her with disdain: "You still don't trust Gui Lan? I'll tell her later, she'll be mad at you."
"What are you talking about! How could I not trust her? I'm just afraid that she'll be deceived by Tao Sanjin! But I heard that Tao Sanjin is from the Chinese Department of the College of Arts and can recite poetry. It's easy for him to deceive a little girl!"
"Don't worry anyway."
Song Ruan said something to comfort them, then walked towards the people who had been gossiping the most enthusiastically.
"What are you going to do?" one person asked guiltily.
"Tell me everything you know about Tao Sanjin!"
Song Ruan found a seat and sat down there with great determination.
"If I'm not satisfied with what you say, I'll go and tell the teacher."
Song Ruan's words shocked them.
"You are already such a grown-up, and you still want to tell on the teacher and tell tales?"
"Yes, that's who I am. Tell me now!"
Since Song Ruan was shameless, they could only tell him all the information they knew under coercion and inducement.
