After finishing their meal, Shi Miao and Jiang Ning went straight back to their dorm room.
Jiang Ning pushed open the door and went in, and immediately saw that Xia Zhixu's bed was empty.
The desktop was also cleaned up, without leaving a single trace.
Jiang Ning's eyes were filled with deep surprise as she turned to look at Su Wenxue beside her. "Wenxue, did Xia Zhixu move out?"
Upon hearing this, Su Wenxue turned around and said softly, "I don't know either. It was already empty when I came back."
"Okay." Jiang Ning shrugged nonchalantly and sat back in her chair. "Sister Miao, would you like to take a shower first?"
"Hmm." Shi Miao took off her camouflage jacket, put on slippers, took out her pajamas from the closet, and walked towards the bathroom.
After taking a shower, Shi Miao dried her hair with one hand, walked to the table, pulled out a chair, and sat down.
I casually rubbed my hair a few times, dried the ends, and then took out a hairdryer to blow-dry it.
Halfway through playing the flute, the phone on the table rang with a "ding".
She picked up her phone with one hand, her jade-like fingers swiping across the screen to open WeChat.
It was a message from Ji Yanchen: [Downstairs.]
Shi Miao raised her delicate eyebrows slightly, turned off the hair dryer, and got up to walk towards the door.
Seeing this, Jiang Ning, still biting her milk straw, looked up at her and asked, "Sister Miao, are you going out?"
Shi Miao smoothed her half-dry long hair and responded with a soft "Mmm".
After going downstairs, she immediately saw a tall figure standing by the tree diagonally opposite.
The man had his head slightly lowered, a cigarette between his long, slender fingers, the butt burning quietly, the red dot flickering in the darkness.
Because he was standing in the shadows, his facial features weren't very clear. He was wearing a black shirt with the cuffs casually rolled up several times.
Many students passing by couldn't help but look at him.
Shi Miao's eyes flickered slightly, and she lazily walked up to him and stopped. "What's wrong, Teacher Ji?"
"Just came to see you." Ji Yanchen looked up at the girl, stubbed out his cigarette, and threw it into the trash can.
Upon hearing this, Shi Miao raised her head, her beautiful black eyes filled with a hint of arrogance. "Didn't we just see each other this afternoon?"
"Hmm, what if I can't get enough of looking at her?" The man gazed at her, his deep eyes filled with her reflection.
Shi Miao clicked her tongue, her delicate eyebrows raised, and looked at him with a deep gaze. "So be it."
Ji Yanchen chuckled softly, his eyes sparkling with amusement, and reached out to smooth her slightly disheveled hair. "Miao Shen, is the dorm really that nice?"
Shi Miao's dark eyelashes were lowered, and her porcelain-white face was delicate and beautiful. She said in a low voice, "It's not that good. It's quite annoying to blow-dry my hair every day."
Ji Yanchen's eyes darkened. He leaned down and pulled her into his arms, resting his chin on her shoulder. The fragrance of shower gel lingered in his nose, and his voice was tinged with laughter: "Then you're not staying?"
Shi Miao hesitated for a few seconds, then took the initiative to raise her hand and wrap it around the man's lean waist, her voice slightly hoarse as she said, "It's alright, I can bear it."
...
The dormitory lights are turned off after 10 p.m.
Xia Zhixu lay on her bed in her new dormitory, tossing and turning, her mind filled with the events that had occurred in the office that afternoon.
She couldn't understand why her grandfather had changed his previous tough stance and let Shi Miao go like this.
What exactly did Principal Li mean by his last few words?
Why can't the Xia family afford to offend Shi Miao?
However, based on what Principal Li said, she is now certain that their department's head instructor is Ji Yanchen himself, whose unique aura is unmatched by anyone else.
Xia Zhixu frowned, and then a sudden inspiration struck him.
Could it be that Shi Miao is backed by Ji Yanchen?
But she quickly rejected the idea.
This is outrageous and absurd.
Besides, doesn't Shi Miao have an older boyfriend from outside the school?
My old boyfriend...
Suddenly, her phone rang, interrupting her thoughts.
Xia Zhixu snapped out of her daze, picked up her phone, and opened WeChat.
[Zhixu, is your face feeling better?]
Xia Zhixu looked at the message sent by Su Wenxue, his eyes flickered slightly, and as if he had thought of something, he tapped his fingers on the phone screen and quickly replied to her.
[Feeling better now. I shouldn't have been so mean to you this afternoon. I was mainly in a bad mood then. Sorry. Cute.jpg]
Su Wenxue: [It's okay, I didn't take it to heart. I believe you didn't do the speech draft!]
Xia Zhixu looked at the content of the chat box on the screen, somewhat surprised. [Wenxue, thank you for believing in me.]
Su Wenxue: [Yes, we are friends.]
Xia Zhixu's eyes flickered. She had a feeling that there was something wrong with the boyfriend Shi Miao was talking about. Could he be some old man?
"Would you be willing to keep an eye on Shi Miao's movements for me from time to time? I won't treat you unfairly!"
After a long while, Su Wenxue replied with a single word: "Okay."
...
The month-long military training ended in the blink of an eye.
Jiang Ning and Su Wenxue both got a bit darker, but Shi Miao didn't change at all; she was still dazzlingly fair-skinned.
Jiang Ning looked at herself in the mirror, then glanced at the girl next door who was engrossed in her phone, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, Sister Miao, your skin is so unbelievable! You haven't gotten a tan at all!"
Su Wenxue nodded. "Yes."
Upon hearing this, Shi Miao slightly raised her eyes and lazily said, "I remember asking you if you wanted to apply my sunscreen."
Jiang Ning regretted it terribly now, and sighed: "You only have that one small bottle. If I use it too, won't you run out?"
Shi Miao raised an eyebrow. "Who told you I only have one small bottle?"
Jiang Ning: "..."
Damn, I should have known better than to be so reserved.
Shi Miao opened the drawer, took out two bottles, and handed them to the two people respectively.
Su Wenxue was slightly taken aback, not expecting Shi Miao to give her that. After regaining her senses, she said, "Thank you."
Jiang Ning looked at the glass bottle in her hand, which was filled with a tube and had no label. She unscrewed the cap and asked curiously, "Sister Miao, what brand is this?"
"Privately made."
Upon hearing this, Su Wenxue immediately looked down on it. Privately made products meant they hadn't undergone any skin tests or safety assessments, making them genuinely unregulated products.
For the past month, she had been secretly hanging out with Xia Zhixu a lot, and the two were even in the same class. Xia Zhixu would occasionally give her brand-name skincare products and clothes, and she had also brushed up on her knowledge in this area, so her standards had naturally risen.
However, while Shi Miao's results are indeed real, it cannot be ruled out that she simply cannot get a tan.
After thinking about it, I put it in the corner of the table.
Jiang Ning took a sniff and her eyes lit up. "Wow, this smells so good, it must be very expensive."
Shi Miao lowered her eyelids and tapped her phone screen with her fingers. "Tell me when you're done using it, and I'll give it back to you then."
This sunscreen was a little gadget that Yunyi tinkered with using the funds she received; it was something Yunyi brought back from M Continent last time. She tried it for a month, and the results were indeed quite good.
Jiang Ning nodded, her eyes sparkling as she looked at her, "I love you, Sister Miao."
