Chapter 296: Chapter 289: The Nest is Still There

The semester has just started. If anything should happen, it would embarrass everyone.

“How much money do you want?” That girl was still asking and she was looking straight at Tang Yuxin, “Tell me, how much money you want. Just name a price. I can afford it.”

Meanwhile, Tang Yuxin acted as if she hadn’t heard a thing while her hand was holding and playing with a bottle. She wouldn’t mind making someone speechless for a few days if that person’s voice started to annoy her. The Chen Family’s ancient recipes had many fun potions, and she just concocted some.

“Mengmeng, let it be,” the girl’s mother quickly rushed over and held her daughter’s hand.

“I’ll have a word with the school to see if they can arrange a different dormitory for you. We can’t stay here, it’s not good.”

She covertly studied the few girl students again, her eyebrows knitted together tightly.

Indeed, each one was stranger than the other. One was superstitious, another was too tall, yet another obstinate and androgynous, and one a crybaby. How could her daughter Mengmeng possibly excel with such peculiar roommates?

The girl, infuriated, gritted her teeth so hard they were nearly broken. Right when she reached the entrance door, she kicked the bedpost forcefully. A loud ‘thump’ echoed in the room.

Ting Yuan quickly covered her face.

How painful must that be?

She had used her flesh to strike metal. Was she a fool or simply a dunce?

The girl’s face first paled, then turned white, and then flushed red.

Her face ran through three colours in quick succession, not losing out to a Sichuan Opera actor in the slightest.

Finally, the girl and her nouveau-riche family left. All that remained was the hobble of the girl.

Ting Yuan patted her chest. No matter how reckless she could be, at least she knew some common sense. There was no way flesh could conquer metal. For someone of that intelligence to be studying medicine, where did such a monster come from?

She walked to Tang Yuxin’s bed, then pointed her finger upwards.

“How much money do you want? Just like her, how much do you want? I will give it to you.” she snorted, tilting her nose upwards, with a sarcastic smile on her face.

Lin Yile burst into laughter all of a sudden and ran over. The two of them wrestled with each other for a while, which seemed to be quite enjoyable.

Tang Yuxin was still fiddling with the medicine bottle, who knows what she was thinking?

Song Qingtong walked over, bent down, and curiously poked the medicine bottle in Tang Yuxin’s hand.

“What is this?”

“Medicine,” Tang Yuxin looked up and raised an eyebrow, “Do you want some? It tastes pretty good.”

“What’s it for?” Song Qingtong asked, feeling somewhat amused. She then sat down, feeling something hard under her buttocks, and realised she was sitting on a pillow placed on the blanket.

Tang Yuxin gazed at her.

“No more incense on my pillow, I don’t need it.”

Song Qingtong suddenly remembered something and almost fell off laughing on Tang Yuxin’s bed. The other two looked puzzled at Song Qingtong who was practically rolling with laughter.

Song Qingtong wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes. Then she pointed at Ting Yuan who was holding her blanket and seemed lost in her own thoughts, remembering the fart Ting Yuan had let out on Tang Yuxin’s pillow that morning. She started to experience a stomachache from laughing too much.

Oh my God, what kind of eccentric dormitory had she entered? Aren’t her roommates just too adorable?

She couldn’t help but take the medicine bottle in Tang Yuxin’s hand and opened it. Inside were small green pills. What were they supposed to cure?

“Guess,” Tang Yuxin replied with a mysterious look, which gave Song Qingtong the chills.

She quickly handed the bottle back to Tang Yuxin. It was wiser not to provoke her, as she was a bit eerie.

In the afternoon, they went to the Academic Affairs Office to collect their military training uniforms, new camouflage one.

Lin Yile immediately prepared to change into her uniform when she got back to the dormitory. She had never worn a uniform before, never even undergone military training. When she was in elementary and middle school, she always had poor health. Even in the first year of high school, the situation wasn’t any different. For a girl who needed to gasp for breath after walking a few steps, nobody dared to risk letting her suffer under the fierce sun.

At last, she had the opportunity to be truly baked in the sun, and even experience the thrill of military training.

Tang Yuxin was right, everything should be tried in life. At least we do not regret missing out. What happens when we don’t have the chance when we are young, and later lack the energy when we are old?

Life is fleeting, it must be savoured.

However, when they opened the door, they found that there was already someone inside the dormitory. Could it be a new roommate? But when Lin Yile was about to greet the person, she realised it was not a new roommate, but the old one who had claimed she would change dormitories. What an anticlimax!

She grimaced, “Wasn’t she supposed to change her dormitory. In the end, she just came back?”

Who was she trying to fool? Qing University is a century-old institution, famous nationwide since the Republican era, and has cultivated countless talents for the country. Many of the current national leaders were educated here. How could such a prestigious institution let people come and go as they please? Although she really hoped she would leave, it seemed like she was all talk and no action. She. Came. Back.

“Why don’t you go in?” Ting Yuan rushed forward and hugged Lin Yile’s arm. However, when she saw the person inside, she immediately checked her bed. As soon as she saw that her bedding was still there, she heaved a sigh of relief.

Good, her nest was still intact and hadn’t been replaced.

Actually, Tang Yuxin noticed someone inside when they reached the entrance, because there was a particular smell of some skincare product that she had previously sensed from Mengmeng.

They each entered the dormitory and each put their clothes on their beds. This meant their plan to change clothes had to be postponed.

The girl named Mengmeng glanced flippantly at them and seemed to snort.

The expression on her parents’ faces wasn’t looking good, probably because they were somewhat embarrassed. After all, they were the ones who had made a strong declaration to change the dormitory, but in the end, they failed to do so and had to return.

There is a saying that a good horse never eats old grass.

This old grass truly isn’t palatable at all.

If you eat too much of it, you might actually choke to death.

“Well … “Mengmeng’s mother pulled her reluctant daughter over and said to the girls, “No matter what, you all will be classmates living together for the next three years. If you don’t establish a good relationship now, how can you in the future? Our Mengmeng has been spoiled by us since she was young. Please don’t take what happened earlier to heart. It was all a misunderstanding. You all will be living together for three years, shouldn’t you care for each other?”
