They couldn't help but worry because Xia Lan hadn't shown up for so long today.
Just as I was wondering whether I should go look for Xia Lan, Xia Lan appeared at the entrance of the cafeteria.
"Lanlan!" Sudan immediately stood up and waved to Xia Lan.
"Sorry I'm late, were you all waiting long?" Xia Lan smiled at Sudan and the others, and sat down in the empty seat reserved for her.
"Were you held up by someone today? Why are you so late?" Wu Shishi asked Xia Lan.
"Did you hear something?" Xia Lan picked up the soup, took a sip, and let out a comfortable sigh of relief; she was starving.
"What exactly happened?" Sudan looked at Xia Lan, while Wu Shishi's lips curled into a smile. "Young Master Xu has made separate statements to pursue Xia Lan."
"When did this happen? How come I didn't know? Shishi, didn't you know Lanlan was already married? Why didn't you tell Lanlan?"
Sudan looked at Wu Shishi disapprovingly, and Wu Shishi shrugged.
"I thought he was joking, but who knew he was serious! Playboys like him are never short of admirers. There's no way Lanlan would ever be interested in someone like him."
Wu Shishi's words made Xia Lan look at her in surprise, but she really looked down on someone like Xu Yu.
Putting aside the fact that Qin Yu already had a place in her heart, even without Qin Yu, she wouldn't consider Xu Yu.
A person like him can't stand being rejected; he feels empty inside.
"Right, I told you so, didn't I?"
Wu Shishi looked at Xia Lan triumphantly. After spending time together, she knew that Xia Lan was not as weak as she appeared. On the contrary, she was very opinionated.
Her words and actions were unlike those of an ordinary person; she seemed somewhat otherworldly.
“That’s right.” Xia Lan smiled and reached out to pinch Wu Shishi’s cheek.
"Xu Yu did block my way, and I scolded him. He shouldn't bother me anymore, right?" After Xia Lan finished eating, she told the three of them what had happened that day. She felt that she had been so disrespectful to Xu Yu in front of everyone.
Given Xu Yu's personality and pride, he certainly won't bother her again, right?
"That's hard to say. Maybe he's preparing to ask you again next time?" Wu Shishi didn't think someone like Xu Yu would give up after just a few words.
The more Xia Lan refused, the more excited he became.
“Your uniqueness is fatally attractive to us,” Wu Shishi said with a smile. Children from privileged backgrounds like theirs are used to being flattered and praised by those around them.
Someone like Xia Lan, who doesn't give them face and even makes them lose face in front of others, is very novel to them.
When they encounter someone like this for the first time, they tend to pay even more attention.
"Then how can I make him give up on me?" Xia Lan rolled her eyes speechlessly. All she wanted was to get a good university education.
“I think it’s unlikely, unless you go along with him.” Wu Shishi glanced at Xia Lan teasingly. “Given your personality, you would never agree, so his interest in you will only grow stronger.”
"Isn't this an illness?" After hearing this, Sudan felt that Xu Yu might have some serious illness, and wondered why he would keep pestering a female comrade like this.
"Dandan is very pretty too, why don't they pursue her?" Xia Lan said dejectedly. Sultan was clearly more striking and beautiful than her!
"Hey, don't try to drag me down with you just because you're getting entangled yourself!" Sudan glared at Xia Lan. She didn't want to be harassed; it sounded terrifying.
“The military training activity is coming up soon, then he won’t have time to bother you.” Zhao Pandi suddenly said, and Xia Lan was stunned for a moment, then her eyes lit up.
"Yes! The military training activity is coming up soon!" Xia Lan said happily.
"...Can I not participate...?" Wu Shishi was at her wit's end when she heard this.
Physical training is her weakest skill.
“It’s alright, we’ll definitely be together then, and we’ll be watching over you.” Sudan was very confident about the military training program.
I heard that this was specially arranged for them by the president of their Beijing University. They were originally supposed to experience a week-long rural experience, but for some reason, it was canceled.
Instead, it was changed to military training activities.
The men were all very excited and looking forward to the day.
"I hope so..." Wu Shishi sighed softly.
"By the way, we have a weekend off this week. Would you like to come over to my house?" Wu Shishi thought about how her bet with her father was about to expire, and she felt a little guilty.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Xia Lan had heard Wu Shishi invite them to her home more than once, and she thought it was just polite talk. But when Wu Shishi brought it up again, she became a little curious.
"...Don't laugh at me when I tell you." Wu Shishi pursed her lips, met three pairs of curious eyes, and sighed softly.
“We promise not to laugh,” Sudan said earnestly.
"Well... my dad told my grandpa that with my personality, it would be hard for me to make real friends, and I got really angry! So I made a bet with my dad that I would definitely make friends!"
Sudan blushed slightly; she was too embarrassed to talk about such a childish bet.
But she didn't want to believe she couldn't make friends, so...
"What's wrong with that? Your personality used to be quite annoying, but you've changed! We all like you very much." Sudan thought it was something serious and smiled at Wu Shishi.
He didn't forget to nudge Zhao Pandi with his shoulder, and Zhao Pandi nodded in agreement.
“You have indeed changed a lot. We are all your good friends, and you have been teaching me to get rid of my accent. Otherwise, people would still laugh at me for having an accent!” Zhao Pandi said to Wu Shishi with a smile.
Although Wu Shishi was not initially likable, an incident occurred that completely changed Zhao Pandi's opinion of her.
The three of them were Chinese literature majors. When they went to class together, during the first self-introduction class, Zhao Pandi couldn't break her habit of referring to herself as "I" again, which made the whole class burst into laughter.
Zhao Pandi lowered her head in self-consciousness, but Wu Shishi stood up to speak up for her.
"What are you laughing at? It's just an accent, what's so funny! Don't make a fuss."
Wu Shishi couldn't stand them laughing at Zhao Pandi, so she stood up and glared at the people who were laughing. After that, no one laughed at Zhao Pandi anymore.
Since then, Wu Shishi would always make Zhao Pandi address her as "I" whenever she said "I," which made Zhao Pandi change her habit of saying "I" in just a few days.
Even my hometown accent has improved a lot.
It has a touch of Beijing flavor.
"Hahaha, you're one to talk! You helped her change me, and now she talks even weirder, adding a 'r' to everything she says..."
Sudan looked at Zhao Pandi and Wu Shishi and smiled.
After her voice disappeared, her child's voice reappeared.
As a result, Zhao Pandi's speech has become a hodgepodge.
