Chapter 153

Xiao Qi's dormitory harmoniously took turns showering.

Gu Yunshu went first, followed by Chen Mier who took some extra time to maintain her makeup and took numerous selfies. She carefully selected a photo of everyone hanging out and eating together today and posted it on her social media.

Admiring the photos, Xiao Qi couldn't help but feel envious. She didn't wear any makeup, yet she still looked beautiful and photogenic.

Wei Cheng went next, and Xiao Qi went last. As soon as Xiao Qi returned, she started practicing calligraphy and then worked through a set of English Level 4 exam papers. Finally, she opened her textbook titled "Introduction to the Basic Principles of Marxism"...

As she picked it up, she felt a mix of emotions. It was familiar, as if she knew the content by heart, and it seemed she could casually discuss the theories from the book.

This course seemed to be a mandatory subject for their first year, with very few credits. Xiao Qi glanced at the other textbooks on her desk — algebra, statistics, calculus... Just looking at them made her feel how difficult they were.

If only there was an expert level in calculus, she would be invincible.

Xiao Qi pondered for a moment. Although she felt a bit regretful, she wasn't particularly upset. She still had the advantage because once she mastered the content of the mandatory courses, she could save time and focus on studying her major courses. That was already pretty good.

After Wei Cheng finished showering, it was Xiao Qi's turn.

After everyone finished showering, they decided to go out for a proper meal. They had eaten too many random things outside today, and their stomachs weren't feeling great.

Everyone changed into new clothes. They weren't expensive, but the quality was quite good.

Normally, new clothes should be washed before wearing them, but the girls couldn't resist. Since they showered every day, wearing them once shouldn't be a problem.

Gu Yunshu wore a blue striped top with a knee-length blue skirt, a very ladylike outfit.

Chen Mier wore white denim shorts with a tight black T-shirt. She was conscious of her large chest and knew that black made her look slimmer. The overall black and white combination looked refreshing. Wei Cheng hesitated and finally chose a white long dress. She was tall and looked graceful in a dress. As long as she avoided puffy sleeves and too many ruffles, her height was an advantage. Her shoulders were slightly broad, which could be considered a drawback for extremely feminine clothes, but with her figure, she looked good in simple designs.

This simple white cotton dress was quite nice and cost just over eighty yuan.

The cotton fabric was thick, and it looked like good quality.

Xiao Qi also changed into a new outfit. Since she planned to go for a run later, she wore loose cotton shorts with a cotton T-shirt, a simple combination. Her body proportions were excellent, with long and slender legs. With the guidance of her coach, she practiced every day, and her waistline had become more slender, and her hip lines were also good. The only issue was her lack of bust... This was probably natural, likely an A cup, not much different from her classmate Gu Yunshu, maybe even slightly smaller.

Xiao Qi actually enjoyed this state of affairs. Running was easy for her, but her desk mate, Chen Mier, struggled with it, her chest bouncing up and down.

After showering, they didn't bother with makeup. Although they looked good with makeup today, Gu Yunshu and Wei Cheng were more casual about it, except for Mier, who liked to experiment. They also felt that it would be nice to know they could look so good without makeup. If they always wore makeup, there would be no surprises, and they didn't want to keep relying on Xiao Qi for help.

The group left feeling refreshed, while chaos erupted in the opposite dormitory.

As they were about to leave their dorm, they heard a soft voice from the opposite side say, "Humidifiers and air purifiers emit a lot of radiation. My health isn't great, so could you please not use them regularly?"

"If you can get a doctor's certificate stating that humidifiers and air purifiers can harm your health, I'll move these two things. But if not, stop whining. If you're not feeling well, stay in the hospital. Are you here to extort money from the school?" Su Li's voice was low but crisp, leaving the person with no retort.

Xiao Qi and her roommates wasted no time in going downstairs.

On the way, Wei Cheng curiously asked, "What illness does Chu Yu have? She says she has to be hospitalized every year, but she hasn't mentioned the specific illness."

Chen Mier added, "Yeah, she seems fine to me. But she's always getting sick. She even made it through military training. She's really tough."

To their surprise, Gu Yunshu, who usually didn't gossip, joined in. "I know her. She went to Fucheng Second Middle School, just like me. But her family isn't from Fucheng. Her older brother lives in Fucheng, and she has two older brothers and an older sister. They all dote on her. She's always claiming to have health issues. We often hear about her at school."

Xiao Qi finally found out that the girl's name was Chu Yu. Anyway, it was better to keep some distance from her.

It felt strange, as if everyone had to accommodate Chu Yu. It wasn't pleasant. Fortunately, they weren't roommates. Although everyone had different backgrounds, who wasn't precious to their family? Why should they accommodate her?

The group still went to the Chinese restaurant and got their food before sitting together.

At this moment, a large group of guys arrived at the restaurant, led by a guy Xiao Qi didn't know. The others seemed to be classmates, and they looked somewhat familiar.

The leader said, "Help yourselves, I'll foot the bill." They seemed lively and excited, as if they had just finished playing soccer.

Chen Daen even had a soccer ball with him.

When they came in, the backlight made it hard to see clearly. It was only when they brought their food and chose a long table by the window that Xiao Qi and her friends got a clear look at the leader.

The first impression was that he was really handsome.

Xiao Qi felt like she was looking at a teenage boy on a magazine cover. He had black hair, deep eyes, and was also wearing a T-shirt and sweatpants. It was as if he had been blessed by a beauty camera, making him look remarkably refined.

During military training, their instructor was also very handsome, but in a different, refreshing and sunny way. However, the boy in front of them was exquisitely handsome, with features even more delicate and attractive than most girls.

Chen Mier blushed and quietly asked, "Who is he?"

Even Chen Mier, who was usually well-informed about dormitory gossip, didn't know, let alone Xiao Qi and the others.

They heard Chen Daen's loud voice shouting, "Weijin, do you want cola?"

The boy shook his head and replied, "I don't drink soda, just mineral water."

He was holding a bottle of Evian mineral water. They had it in the cafeteria's beverage section, but the first time Xiao Qi saw it, she thought the price tag was wrong—25 yuan for a bottle of water...

Later, she looked it up online and found out that the price was correct. It even cost 18 yuan in the supermarket.

If you saved a bit and came to the cafeteria, only got vegetables, soup, and rice, it probably wouldn't cost more than 25 yuan.

"Wow, his voice is so nice," Chen Mier whispered.

So, that exquisitely beautiful boy was Li Weijin, the legendary wealthy student who had never appeared in their class before. He really seemed wealthy, and he seemed to get along well with the boys in the class. They played soccer together and he treated them to meals, without any awkwardness.

He was just really too beautiful, with a charm that seemed to come straight out of a novel, transcending the pages and entering real life. Xiao Qi felt inferior and didn't dare to look too much.

While Yunshu was eating slowly, the boys finished their meal and left. Xiao Qi and the others were still at their table when unexpectedly Chen Daen came back, skipping happily, and gave them a fruit platter, smiling and saying, "Compliments of Weijin."

Then he opened WeChat on his phone again and said, "I've created a class group, add yourselves."

Xiao Qi and the others added themselves one by one, and upon entering the group, they saw the group chat being flooded with red envelopes from the same person, with the username "Southern and Northern Dynasties"...
