Chapter 117: Chapter 117: Someone Challenges the Establishment (600+ Monthly Tickets Updated)
Translator: 549690339
The mysterious girl Dong Yi wasn’t close to anyone and never seemed to initiate conversations.
Even with the energetic and lively Shi Yu in Dormitory UUUU, the atmosphere couldn’t warm up Dong Yi.
On the first night they all lived together, they introduced themselves to each other, and all she said was, “My name is Dong Yi,” with nothing more.
So, it wasn’t until a few days later that Xiao Qian noticed she had an additional little follower.
Yu Mingyi left in a hurry, and after he left, Dong Yi came back with red eyes and stopped Xiao Qian to ask a question.
“What’s the relationship between the man who brought you here and the officer who came today?”
“Brothers.”
“What’s your relationship with the man who brought you here.”
Chen Xiaoqian was not a woman who simply answered questions.
Especially this kind of direct questioning without any polite small talk.
Getting straight to the point!
Do I know you very well?
But she answered anyway because the person asking the question was Dong Yi.
Based on Xiaoqian’s observations over the past few days, Dong Yi’s behavior was not because she was too proud, but rather more likely due to a tendency towards introversion.
Even living in the same dormitory, she refused to interact with others, which was fundamentally different from introversion.
Perhaps it was doctor’s occupational hazard, but Xiaoqian was more tolerant of people with mental illness tendencies.
“The man who brought me here is my boyfriend, who is still on a trial period.”
“Oh.”
And from then on, Xiaoqian had an extremely low-key follower.
Going to the canteen, Dongyi quietly stood by her side, and when they went back to the dormitory, she quietly followed Xiaoqian as well.
Luckily, Xiaoqian had a strong heart; other people might have gotten scared if they saw such a spiritual presence behind them, quietly following them, occasionally turning their heads to see a blank face.
Much later on, Xiaoqian finally figured out Dong Yi’s way of thinking. Generally speaking, emotional ties have several categories for people; Blood, family and geography ties. Dongyi, on the other hand, was different from others; her emotional connection was just one. All the people around her benefactor were her source of guidance. She had great respect for those around her uncle.
Anyway, Xiaoqian mysteriously ended up with two followers.
“Boss Qian, who’s that girl always staring at you?”
Ever since Xiaoqian had led everyone to defeat Prime Minister Turtle, Shi Yu had changed her nickname from “Qiannv’er” to “Boss Qian.”
It felt like a girl in a pink dress who was overweight was always staring at Boss Qian.
“Glaucoma plus nearsightedness; she looks at everyone like that.” Xiaoqian was eating with Shi Yu and Dong Yi, following Shi Yu’s gaze to see Lin Xuanhua staring at her.
Xiao Qian felt that her face was almost as wheat-colored as Yu Minglang’s.
Even if she was prepared and had applied enough sunscreen, she still got tanned. The only good thing was that she didn’t get sunburned like in her past life, but even so, she was still fairer compared to Lin Xuanhua.Lin Xuanhua had planned to add some trouble to Xiao Qian with the help of Prime Minister Turtle, but didn’t expect Yu Minglang to be so awesome and send out his secret weapon, “Iceberg Second Brother.” Xiao Qian not only avoided trouble but also snatched up several spots for the choir from her.
Lin Xuanhua had planned to join the choir after two days of orientation, but somehow, all the spots were filled. Yu Mingyi had promised to bring Xiao Qian’s group to the choir, occupying all the spots. Lin Xuanhua couldn’t get in and had to suffer under the scorching sun for half a month, looking at Xiao Qian with hatred.
“Boss Qian, are you looking forward to the performances at the welcome party?” After orientation, the next event was the welcome party. Shi Yu was a bit excited.
“Not interested.” Xiao Qian wasn’t interested in these childish events and carelessly picked at her food.
The food in the canteen was terrible.
Thinking about having to eat the same thing for several years, Xiao Qian felt disgusted, and she couldn’t cook either. In her past life, she could handle anything but cooking. She couldn’t cook secretly in the dormitory like other students either. The thought of the food she’d have to eat over the next few years gave her a headache.
“I saw the notice on the bulletin board. It says every college has to perform, including freshmen. I wonder who from our Art Academy will go on stage. I saw that green-eyed girl running to the Student Council this afternoon.” Shi Yu was observant.
Xiao Qian gave Shi Yu the shrimp from her plate. “You could consider becoming a paparazzo in the future, you know, staking out locations. It suits you.”
Shi Yu had her ears open for any gossip at school.
Shi Yu was a low-key rich second-generation. Xiao Qian conservatively estimated that among the new students, no more than three could compete with Shi Yu’s family wealth.
However, she was low-key about it. When asked what her family did for a living, she always answered: selling fake medicine. She also said that she was able to go to university because her family sold a house. After the orientation period, her clothes were only worth a hundred or so yuan, and she wore just ordinary shoes wherever she went. No one could tell that her family was so rich.
If Xiao Qian hadn’t known her past life, she might have believed her. Later, when she graduated, her classmates found out about her family’s wealth and chased Shi Yu, asking about selling the house to go to school. Shi Yu looked wronged and said that her father really did sell a house. That year, her father not only sold fake medicine but also started dabbling in real estate. She was admitted to college just as her family opened a new property.
And then she was chased and beaten under the name of fighting against the rich.
“I’m just curious about her background. She’s always surrounded by people, like the center of attention.” Shi Yu ate the shrimp, looking at the meat on Dong Yi’s plate with her chopsticks.
Dong Yi ignored her, not caring for anyone except Xiao Qian.
“If one day she loses everything, how many friends will she have left?” Xiao Qian thought of a song and casually said a philosophical sentence.
Having a bunch of so-called friends is useless.
“What do you mean…?” Shi Yu was puzzled.
“When the wall falls, everyone pushes; when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter.” The always silent Dong Yi spoke.
Xiao Qian looked at her. Dong Yi hardly spoke three sentences a day, but whenever she did, they were golden.
Dong Yi had a clear mind and lived an insightful life. Unlike those suffering from traditional social phobia and hating the world, she shouldn’t have committed suicide. So why did Dong Yi jump off a building one year later?
Solving this mystery was more interesting to Xiao Qian than studying. She, a female doctor, was in college pretending to be a freshman, like a fully-equipped, high-level warrior who had returned to the beginner village to recall memories. Her two roommates were more interesting than her professional courses.
Dong Yi felt a little uncomfortable under Xiao Qian’s inquisitive gaze. She lowered her head and gave Xiao Qian the meat from her plate, while Shi Yu’s eyes followed her chopsticks.
Xiao Qian was about to pass the food to Shi Yu when someone at the side said,
“Chen Xiaoqian, your dormitory’s new-girls’ choir rehearsal for the welcome party is tonight. Remember to be punctual at Building 3 for the rehearsal.”
Xiao Qian looked up, and the green-eyed girl had come over.
“What girls’ choir?” Shi Yu was still staring at the meat on Xiao Qian’s plate.
“Haven’t you seen the new notice? Your dormitory has entered a talent show for the welcome party. There will be a final rehearsal tonight, and you’ll be on stage tomorrow.” In Lin Xuanhua’s eyes, there was naive maliciousness.
She didn’t believe that she couldn’t make Chen Xiaoqian lose face this way..
