Ning Shaobai's birthday was a weekday, and Xia Mian happened to have no class in the first period of the morning, so he took the birthday cake he had ordered in advance and took a taxi to the laboratory early in the morning.
It was still a little early when she arrived, so she secretly hid behind a nearby tree and waited.
It wasn't until Ning Shaobai's car drove in and he got out that he suddenly rushed out, "Don't move! You're under arrest!"
Ning Shaobai turned around and caught her accurately, his eyes full of surprise. "Mianmian, why are you here? Didn't you say there was a student union activity?"
Xia Mian hugged his waist and chuckled, "Compared to the activities, of course Dr. Ning's business is more important!"
She quickly stood on tiptoe and kissed his chin, "Happy birthday, Dr. Ning!"
Ning Shaobai touched the top of her head and smiled, "Thank you."
Colleagues who had come to work one after another saw them and jokingly asked, "Xiao Xia, what's the matter with you coming to see Dr. Ning so early?"
Now almost everyone in the hospital knows that Dr. Ning, the most popular doctor in the hospital, has been taken down by Xia Mian, and people in the laboratory often see her.
Xia Mian let go of Ning Shaobai and went to the side to get a cake. She said generously, "Today is Dr. Ning's birthday. Please take care of me!"
"Oh, it's Dr. Ning's birthday."
"I never knew."
"It's different now that I have a girlfriend. Someone celebrates my birthday with me."
“…”
Amidst the chatter and jokes from the crowd, Ning Shaobai turned his head to look at Xia Mian, with a smile in his eyes.
Xia Mian checked the time and handed him the birthday cake. "Doctor Ning, I have to go now. Remember to treat everyone to cake."
"By the way, give me the car keys."
Ning Shaobai handed her the car keys without asking anything.
Xia Mian took the car keys. Because his colleagues were watching, she was embarrassed to be too intimate. She just held his hand and shook it, saying, "Doctor Ning, I'll pick you up when you get off work."
He chuckled again and said, "Look forward to the gift tonight!"
Ning Shaobai smiled and said, "Why, are you planning to skip a grade?"
Xia Mian glared at him and said, "I asked you to look forward to it, not to be delusional." Why should she skip a grade in college? She is not a genius.
Ning Shaobai laughed, took her hand and kissed it, "Be careful on the road."
The colleagues watching the scene felt inexplicably overwhelmed.
After watching Xia Mian drive away, a male colleague said, "Dr. Ning is really reassuring. When did Xiao Xia get her driver's license?"
Ning Shaobai smiled and said, "I just got it. It's okay. My car has good safety features."
Male colleague: ...
Of course I know your car has good safety performance and I don’t even look at the price, so I’m worried about you. You’d be heartbroken if it was bumped by a novice.
However, seeing the usually indifferent young man now smiling, the male colleague swallowed his words again.
I've heard that Dr. Ning dotes on his girlfriend, and now I've finally seen it.
Xia Mian drove back to school, parked the car at the school gate and ran directly to the teaching building. The dormitory leader Ma Yingying had already helped her bring her textbooks and reserved a seat.
Not long after she sat down, the third sister Huang Yanhong whispered, "Xia Mian, after you left today, Zhu Yiqing scolded you again."
Xia Mian didn't take it seriously, "She always talks about me."
"She said you can't look for a boyfriend who's handsome because all the handsome guys are philandering. She even made a bet with us to see when you'll be dumped."
The second oldest, Sun Xiaoxue, said, "She's just saying sour grapes because she can't eat them. She only says that because she can't find anyone more handsome than Doctor Ning."
"She used to say she wanted to find someone with a high level of education and talent, so why did she dump that brilliant PhD?"
When they mentioned this matter, several people couldn't help laughing, and Xia Mian couldn't help laughing either.
Nowadays, most universities have eight-person rooms. When there are more people, there will be more problems, especially in girls’ dormitories. It is rare for eight roommates to get along completely harmoniously.
Xia Mian's dormitory is no exception, and the main conflict lies between Zhu Yiqing and Xia Mian.
Zhu Yiqing is a girl with a strong competitive spirit. She is the top scorer in the college entrance examination in a third-tier city and is also very beautiful. Therefore, she is the kind of favored child who has been raised by celebrities since childhood.
After arriving in Yan City, she found it difficult to accept the fact that there were people better than herself, so she always tried to belittle others to establish her superior status.
And summer sleep is the iron wall she kicked.
The two of them started to have a falling out on the first day of school.
Zhu Yiqing is indeed very beautiful, a completely different type of beauty from Xia Mian.
Xia Mian always calls herself a fairy because when she is not losing her temper or being naughty, she looks that kind of well-behaved, pure, delicate and beautiful;
Zhu Yiqing has clear features and deep eye sockets, giving her a mysterious and gorgeous beauty.
Xia Mian was surprised when he saw her for the first time, but he soon realized that she disliked him.
Xia Mian didn't care at the time. Some people are born with incompatible temperaments. Everyone will meet a few annoying people in their life. As long as they don't disturb each other in the future, it's fine.
Unexpectedly, the other party soon found an opportunity to belittle her.
The lead is Ning Shaobai.
When Xia Mian reported to University, Ning Shaobai of course came to see her off in person. A handsome guy like him would easily become the focus wherever he went, and parents who came to send their children to school couldn't help but greet him when they exchanged greetings.
Xia Mian generously introduced him as her boyfriend. Although her roommates and parents were a little surprised, they mostly praised him for his good looks.
Zhu Yiqing suddenly said, "It's only the beginning of your freshman year and you already have a boyfriend. Are you guys in a premature relationship?"
"My family is very strict. I have hardly ever spoken to boys."
What I said...
Ma Yingying, who was known for her smooth personality, immediately tried to smooth things over with a smile, "It doesn't matter if it's premature love or not, as long as it doesn't interfere with your studies, that's fine. Look at Xia Mian, she has a boyfriend and still got into our school, she's amazing."
Zhu Yiqing disagreed, "If he hadn't fallen in love too early, he would probably have gone to Yanda University or Huazhong University of Science and Technology."
Anyway, Xia Mian's life is tainted by premature love and is not very pure.
Xia Mian immediately laughed and said, "Sorry, my score is indeed high enough to get into Yanda and Huazhong University, but my dream is to become a teacher, and those two schools don't have the majors I like."
Everyone was stunned, thinking she was joking, and they all laughed.
Zhu Yiqing also laughed, and then jokingly said, "I've heard that people in Yan City like to brag. It's true."
No one knew what to say. There were eight people in their dormitory, and two of them were from Yan City.
Xia Mian laughed and said, "This has nothing to do with the region. It's mainly about the people. Someone like you, with your strict upbringing, serious and harsh manner, and suspicious personality, can't represent your entire Huan City."
She also said in a joking tone, "This does have something to do with your family background. Are you descended from some royal family? Most royal family members have the same characteristics as you. Could it be that you are a princess who has fallen from grace among the common people?"
Everyone burst into laughter, and Ma Yingying said, "Xia Mian, you are so humorous."
Zhu Yiqing looked unhappy, but she couldn't argue with Xia Mian.
And Xia Mian's next words left her speechless, "I scored 740 on the college entrance examination. How much did you score, Your Highness?"
Everyone was stunned. Ma Yingying asked, "Did you really take so many exams?"
Xia Mian smiled and said, "Yes, third in Yan City." The first and second place went to a genius and a genius from Hua University Affiliated High School.
Ma Yingying lamented, "Didn't you apply properly when you applied for admission?"
"No, I just like being a teacher, so I didn't apply. It made our class teacher mad."
This was such a Versailles statement that Zhu Yiqing was speechless.
It is said that later she actually went to the counselor to check her college entrance examination results. When the counselor accidentally mentioned this to Xia Mian, Xia Mian was speechless.
But he also knew Zhu Yiqing's extremely competitive mentality.
Sure enough, since then, Zhu Yiqing has been competing with her in everything.
Since we have to wait for the midterm exam to evaluate our academic performance, we should start with food, clothing and other expenses.
She learned about Xia Mian's family situation from the counselor's information sheet. She thought that Xia Mian, an orphan living with her nephew at her aunt's house, must have a poor material life, so she always pretended to show off her material superiority in front of Xia Mian.
From clothes, mobile phones to cosmetics and daily necessities, you should emphasize the brand and price when you use them.
As a result, after Xia Mian took out hers, each one looked like trash compared to hers. Everyone thought it was because Xia Mian's aunt's family was wealthy.
Then the girl said something else, "When it comes to family, a family of scholars is more noble. You see, almost all officials come from scholarly families. In ancient times, merchants who were obsessed with money had no status. Although merchants have a high status now, they are still at the mercy of officials."
Her parents are both middle school teachers, so she considers herself to be from a scholarly family.
Usually when she said such sour words, Xia Mian would not bother to pay attention to her. This kind of person will always have a set of logic to put her status above you. Just slap her in the face with facts.
The last person to compare with is naturally the boyfriend.
When school started, they had military training for two weeks, and Ning Shaobai would come to the school to see her almost every day after get off work at noon or in the afternoon.
To be precise, it is a declaration of sovereignty.
Even without those hundreds of love letters, Ning Shaobai was very aware of Xia Mian's charm, so in order to prevent the increase of his love rivals, he personally took action to eliminate all hidden dangers.
So after completing the exhausting training every day, Xia Mian's roommates could happily eat watermelon or ice cream. Xia Mian was treated even better, with someone wiping their sweat, fanning them, and taking them out for a big meal.
Seeing everyone's envy of Xia Mian and all kinds of praise for Ning Shaobai, Zhu Yiqing was naturally dissatisfied. There was no comparison in other aspects, and she was very confident in this aspect.
She probably wanted to find a boyfriend who was more handsome and considerate than Ning Shaobai at first.
After all, during that period, whenever she had free time, she would ask the seniors who led them about the school's most handsome boy, and her goal was very clear.
However, Xia Mian was not bragging. Ning Shaobai's level of beauty was unmatched by many men. Even if her appearance could be compared, her temperament could not be compared.
So Zhu Yiqing failed at the first step. After it became clear that the school idol-level boy was no match for Ning Shaobai, she said directly, "When looking for a partner, you should look for a soul full of wisdom. Otherwise, if they have only the appearance but the heart is full of vulgarity, and you have no common language, your future life will definitely be boring."
She thought Ning Shaobai was about the same age as Xia Mian but had not attended college and did not have a high level of education.
So she decided to find a boyfriend with a high level of education to defeat Xia Mian, and she spent all day hanging around the doctoral building.
Xia Mian said nothing at first. She admitted that she had a bad taste, but who asked Zhu Yiqing to belittle Ning Shaobai? What's wrong with her being laughed at?
So when Zhu Yiqing proudly took her talented boyfriend, who had a doctorate, and showed off his academic qualifications to Xia Mian.
Xia Mian looked at the man in front of her who was nearly thirty years old and had an academic air. She said calmly, "My boyfriend went abroad to study at the age of sixteen and graduated with a doctorate at the age of twenty-three. He is now one of the directors of the medical laboratory at Yanda Hospital."
She added with a smile, "Would you like me to show you his penis?"
"Forget it, you should investigate it yourself. Otherwise, what if you say the certificate I have is fake? If you find out it yourself, it will be true."
Zhu Yiqing's face was full of excitement at that time, but Xia Mian was very happy. Since she was unwilling to stop, she would just keep kicking the iron board. Anyway, it was not Xia Mian who was in pain.
Afterwards, Zhu Yiqing quickly dumped her talented boyfriend who was a doctor. After much deliberation, she decided that she could only make a breakthrough financially.
At first, she probably just wanted to find someone richer than Ning Shaobai, but as she looked, she realized that being rich was just a concept, but there was no standard.
Xia Mian and the others watched helplessly as this "innocent" girl, who initially claimed to be from a scholarly family with strict upbringing and had barely spoken to a boy in high school, turned into a sea king who was hanging out with several boys at the same time.
She quickly learned to use her beauty to her advantage, and then used her clever mind to come up with a set of effective and reliable methods.
Later, she began to accept gifts from everyone and felt that she had won over Xia Mian.
After all, Xia Mian could only receive gifts from Ning Shaobai, while she could receive valuable gifts from many people, so even the comparison in food, clothing and daily expenses was completed.
Now the only one who hasn't succeeded is her boyfriend, so naturally she'll belittle him whenever she gets the chance.
Xia Mian is now almost immune to her. Except for two people who want to get benefits from her, everyone else in the dormitory keeps a distance from her, or like Ma Yingying and Huang Yanhong, treats her just as a spice of life.
As for the person in question who is in hibernation, all we have to do is let her keep hitting the wall.
They had a class in the afternoon, and as soon as the bell rang, Xia Mian rushed back to the dormitory.
When her roommates came back, she had already finished applying the facial mask and was putting on makeup.
While putting on makeup, Xia Mian explained, "I asked for leave from my counselor and will go home directly tonight."
Several people smiled teasingly.
Ma Yingying laughed and said, "It's only six o'clock. Are you going to date until eleven? What are you planning to do?"
"Holding hands, we can walk down the street for a whole day, okay?" Xia Mian said with a smile, "Hurry up and find a boyfriend. You'll know when you find one."
As they were chatting and laughing, Zhu Yiqing came in from outside, wearing branded clothes, holding the latest Mohe mobile phone and a gift box in her hand.
“…”
"Yeah, I'm at the dorm now. Okay, thank you."
"Sorry, I'm not free tonight."
"Weekends aren't an option either. Can I wait until I confirm a time before making an appointment?"
"Yes, I will definitely ask you out. I haven't even thanked you properly for the gift you gave me. It's so expensive, I feel embarrassed."
Her tone was apologetic, but there was no trace of embarrassment on her face.
The other people in the dormitory looked at each other knowingly without saying anything.
It wasn't until she hung up the phone that Zhu Yiqing's little follower Xiao Ba said with a smile, "Qingqing, who gave you another gift?"
Zhu Yiqing pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Gao Feng."
"Oh, that Gao Feng whose family is in real estate? Are they really rich?"
As Zhu Yiqing opened the gift box, he said in a loud voice, "They're just a small company."
"These are some skincare products she brought back from abroad. I heard they're very good. If you want any, let me know. I know a friend who travels abroad frequently and can bring them back for you."
Seeing Xia Mian picking out clothes in the closet, she asked directly, "Xia Mian, do you want to buy a set? Your doctor Ning is working now, so saving up two or three months' salary should be enough."
"He's so good to you, he won't be reluctant to let you go, right?"
Xia Mian adjusted her clothes in front of the mirror without even turning her head. "What brand of skin care products costs sixty or seventy thousand? I'll just use my two thousand yuan ones."
Someone burst out laughing. The brand of skin care products in Zhu Yiqing's hand was indeed very expensive for them, but it was still about 800 yuan per set.
Zhu Yiqing's face flushed red, expressing disbelief, "Haha, you really know how to joke. Doctor Ning's salary is so high?"
"He's a PhD student studying abroad and one of the lab leaders," Xia Mian said. "That's just his salary. The bonus is even greater."
"You don't even know this?" Xia Mian said, looking completely ignorant. "How can a scholarly family not know these things? Go ask your parents right away, so they won't always suspect me of lying to you, Your Highness."
Zhu Yiqing was choked and speechless.
Seeing Xia Mian sitting on the bench polishing shoes, she went to the closet to get another set of clothes to change into and put on some makeup.
Xiao Ba complimented, "Qingqing, your dress is so beautiful. Are you going on a date too?"
"Didn't you just tell Gao Feng that you didn't have time?"
Zhu Yiqing said, "It's not Gao Feng, it's another friend of mine. His family is very rich. It's his birthday today and he wants to have a party. He insisted on inviting me and even said he would come to pick me up personally."
She smiled and said, "This skirt is the one he gave me. It's a new model from C store. It costs several thousand yuan."
"People say girls need to be raised in wealth. Now I finally understand that girls really need to get to know more people and see more of the world. Only then will they realize that there are people better than them."
"Some people just have a cake with their family on their birthday, while others book a hotel room and throw a party."
"I've gained a lot of experience. For example, I used to think that hundreds of thousands of yuan was a lot, but now I think millions or tens of millions are just that. I can easily earn money by starting a project and making money."
This is the first time I’ve heard someone describe Aquaman in such a refreshing and refined way.
"They say that entering society is the real beginning of life? Just like those senior sisters we have heard of."
"Two years ago, there was a very beautiful senior student with excellent academic performance who was in a relationship with a PhD. However, after graduation, she was assigned to another province and was dumped by the PhD. I heard that now she is so poor that she can only make a meager salary and can't even afford skincare products."
As she spoke, she glanced at Xia Mian.
"Another senior sister had average grades and even failed a course, but she found a boss worth tens of millions. That boss used his connections to get her assigned to Huada High School. She's living a very comfortable life now."
Xia Mian almost rolled her eyes. This girl always liked to make up these kinds of "rumors" to implicate others, and she spoke as if it were true.
Xia Mian was too lazy to pay attention to her. She picked up her bag and said goodbye to her roommates, "Let's go. See you tomorrow."
Not long after she left the house, she heard Zhu Yiqing's voice coming from behind again, praising her in a spoiled and coquettish manner:
"Are you here to pick me up? Which door?"
"The South Gate is too far. My feet hurt from walking. How about we go to the North Gate? I'll find you there."
aestivation:……
The South Gate was obviously closer, but she was probably just trying to show off because she wanted to exit from the North Gate.
Sure enough, after reaching the north gate, Zhu Yiqing exaggeratedly waved toward a black car, "Young Master He, I'm here."
Then he turned to Xia Mian who had walked aside and said, "Are you going to Yanda Hospital? It's not close, right? It will take you more than an hour to get there by bus."
"Do you want me to ask Young Master He to give you a ride?"
Xia Mian rolled her eyes rudely. "As the old saying goes, the more a person lacks something, the more they flaunt it. Are you the painted skin of a ghost? Aside from your beautiful appearance, what else do you lack?"
Seeing the car coming over, Zhu Yiqing said to Xia Mian angrily, "I want to help you out of kindness, but you are just jealous of me."
The car window was down, and a young man stuck his head out and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xia Mian smiled and said, "It's nothing. Zhu Yiqing thinks I'm jealous that she has a driver to pick her up, while I can only drive myself."
After she said that, she took the key, opened the car door and got in.
Zhu Yiqing was stunned. She wanted to hook up with rich men, so she did the most research on cars. Naturally, she could tell that the car Xia Mian was driving was very valuable, at least better than the car of the rich second generation in front of her.
Xia Mian fastened her seat belt, rolled down the window and smiled at Zhu Yiqing, who couldn't accept the reality. "I'm going to try to find a driver to pick me up."
She gave the young man a meaningful look and said, "I guess you'll have to work hard to change drivers too. Let's work hard together!"
After saying that, he put on his sunglasses and stepped on the accelerator, leaving Zhu Yiqing with a puff of exhaust gas...
When Xia Mian drove to the hospital laboratory door while humming a song, they still had more than ten minutes before getting off work.
Ning Shaobai was calculating experimental data when he heard his colleague say with a smile, "Dr. Ning, your girlfriend is here."
Then someone gave him a thumbs-up and said, "Dr. Ning, your girlfriend can drive. How cool!"
Ning Shaobai looked down from the window when he heard that, and saw Xia Mian with her long hair draped over her shoulders. She was wearing a French-style waist-cinched shirt dress, and a pair of sunglasses covering most of her face. Only her rosy lips and delicate little chin could be seen.
She leaned casually on the car and looked towards the laboratory door, quietly waiting for the person she was waiting for to appear.
Ning Shaobai felt a very wonderful feeling in his heart, and a sweet sense of happiness filled his chest.
He realized very clearly that she had been waiting for him and taking care of him;
In this relationship, it seemed that he was the one who approached her first, but she never stopped running towards him.
Because it is a two-way journey, it is so reassuring and exciting.
Professor Guo patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "Alright, let's go home first. I think you're about to fly away."
Ning Shaobai couldn't suppress a smile on his face. He handed the experimental data in his hand to the professor and said, "This data has been verified to be correct. I'll be leaving now."
Professor Guo was stunned for a moment, then looked at his back and smiled, "Isn't this just an ordinary young man?"
Seeing Ning Shaobai coming out, Xia Mian immediately took off his sunglasses, opened his arms with a bright smile, and said, "Doctor Ning, I'm here to pick you up!"
Ning Shaobai held the girl in his arms and touched her head. "Where are you going?"
Xia Mian tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Eating or watching a movie, which one do you want to choose?"
Ning Shaobai thought for a moment and said, "Let's watch a movie first."
Xia Mian blinked, "Okay, let's go eat!"
Ning Shaobai was so angry that he laughed. He raised his hand and pinched the back of her neck twice and said, "Little rascal!"
Xia Mian looked up at him and smiled, with bright stars in her eyes.
Ning Shaobai couldn't help but laugh, "Have you prepared your application for skipping a grade?"
