Lin Jicheng took out three exquisite little gift boxes from the box brought by the cleaning lady. An Xinmeng exclaimed "Wow!" and excitedly opened the gift boxes:
"Is this... the complete set of La Mer cosmetics?!"
Upon seeing the inside of the box, An Xinmeng's tone shifted from curiosity to shock:
"And it's a whole set... face cream, face mask, eye cream... This set must cost tens of thousands of yuan!"
An Xinmeng gasped:
"This...this looks like the limited edition gold-plated set from Aquamarine x Mystery...! This set is almost enough to cover my living expenses for half a year!"
Xu Qingning was also shocked. She hadn't quite understood the price of the product at first, and only realized it after hearing An Xinmeng's exclamation:
"This is far too valuable... I can't accept something so expensive..."
"There's nothing we can't accept."
Lin Jicheng remained remarkably calm.
"It's just a skincare set!"
"I was worried that everyone's skin type is different, and some skincare products are not suitable for everyone, so I specifically chose this set that is suitable for all skin types!"
"From now on, let's put on face masks together every night, and consider it a group activity for our dorm!"
Lin Jicheng's composure and the shocked glances exchanged between the three people created a stark contrast...
The three men felt that the girl in front of them was doing things that were beyond their imagination...
An Xinmeng took a deep breath:
"Alright, so you're a wealthy lady. Then I'll accept your offer with utmost respect..."
An Xinmeng carefully put away the skincare products, but she kept having some doubts in her mind—
"Something's not right..."
"Something's off with my roommate! The more I look at her, the more she seems to be—"
"He's the kind of rich person who would casually donate a lot of money to the school!"
An Xinmeng packed her luggage while wondering what was going on, but she had too much stuff, and it felt like no matter how she disassembled the wardrobe and storage cabinets, it wouldn't be enough.
"Oh dear, I should have brought less stuff..."
An Xinmeng complained:
"Although our dorm room is quite big, I still feel like there's not enough room for all my things..."
"If you don't have enough space, just put it here with me!"
Lin Jicheng generously opened her wardrobe, which only took up about half the space with clothes inside:
"Anyway, most of my clothes are in a few houses near the school, so you can put them anywhere in these empty spaces!"
"Near the school? And there's more than one house?"
An Xinmeng thought she had misheard, and her eyes widened in surprise.
"Um."
Lin Jicheng's tone remained calm:
“I have many places to live in Beijing, including properties very close to the school. I’ve gotten quite used to living here…”
"So, for the next four years, I probably won't go back to the dorm much; I'll be living at home most of the time!"
"..."
In Beijing, in a prime school district, owning several properties...
The three roommates remained silent. They really were rich!
The group packed their things, and as dusk settled, they were already exhausted before they had even finished. An Xinmeng lay listlessly on top of her pile of clothes.
"Buying clothes is fun, but cleaning them up is a nightmare... I really don't have the energy anymore!"
Qiao Lingyuan and Xu Qingning were also exhausted after a long day. They had just finished packing and were sitting down to rest when Lin Jicheng seized the opportunity to suggest:
"Today is the first day of university. Let's take this opportunity to go out for dinner together in our dorm tonight. It's on me!"
"I happen to know a good barbecue restaurant near our school, would you like to try it?"
"Barbecue? Great, great!"
Upon hearing that there was meat to eat, An Xinmeng perked up:
"I'm so hungry, I really need something good to eat to replenish my energy!"
Qiao Lingyuan and Xu Qingning also had the idea of going out for a big meal. When they heard Lin Jicheng say this, the four of them hit it off immediately and decided to go out for a meal together!
The first team building activity for dormitory 622 has begun!
The four of them walked out of the dormitory building chatting and laughing. Lin Jicheng led the way. Just as they reached the vicinity of the school gate, a pair of fierce-looking middle-aged men and women suddenly jumped out from the shadows by the roadside and grabbed Xu Qingning's arm tightly.
"You little brat, you think you're all grown up now, huh? You actually dare to come to university!"
"Come back with me right now!"
The woman's shrill scream ripped through the quiet night sky, startling Lin Jicheng and the other three!
Before the two could react, the middle-aged man rushed over and started shouting and cursing:
"You dared to run away from home, making us search everywhere! I've been staking out the area near the university for a whole day and night, and you still think you can escape? Dream on!"
"Why do you, a girl, need to read so many books? You've really gone stupid from all that studying!"
“We’ve already accepted the bride price from the Wang family, and we’ve agreed to get married next month. Are you trying to make our whole family the laughingstock of us by coming here to study?!”
The middle-aged man shouted and cursed as he forcefully dragged Xu Qingning toward the van next to him!
This sudden change caught everyone off guard!
Xu Qingning was pale and trembling all over. The moment she saw the two middle-aged men and women, she felt as if she had lost all her strength. Like a bird with broken wings, she was powerless to resist!
A man and a woman were holding Xu Qingning on either side, and just as Xu Qingning was about to be dragged away, Lin Jicheng was the first to react—
First, she subtly tripped the man with her foot, causing him to slip and fall flat on his face. While he was still on the ground, Lin Jicheng delivered another kick; then, forcefully pulling the middle-aged woman aside and throwing her to the ground, Lin Jicheng quickly dragged Xu Qingning back to safety…
The whole process took less than 5 seconds—fast, accurate, and ruthless!
I have to say, the pills the system gave us are incredibly useful!
Lin Jicheng's series of movements were swift and precise. No one present saw when she made her move. By the time they reacted, the middle-aged couple had already been violently thrown to the ground, grimacing in pain...
"...Xu Qingning, you heartless bastard! You just watched your own parents fall to the ground! You didn't even come to help them up!"
The middle-aged man was so angry that he started cursing!
Lin Jicheng and the others then realized that these two were actually Xu Qingning's biological parents!
Judging from their attitude towards Xu Qingning, I thought they were enemies!
At this moment, Xu Qingning was so shocked and frightened that she couldn't utter a single word! It was clear that these two people had caused her a deep psychological trauma!
Seeing that they had failed to pull Xu Qingning back, Xu's father and mother were furious. They jumped up from the ground and pounced on their prey like hungry tigers once more.
