"All the tutorials online cost money, and completing the full high school course isnāt a small expense. Of course, Iām not saying that people from Garbage Star have no money, donāt misunderstand me. Itās just that when I saw how skinny you are, the first thing that came to my mind was someone from Garbage Star." Xue Huiyi privately thought that Su Xiaocai was so short because of malnutrition from scrimping on food and clothing, if not from Garbage Star, then it must be from some other impoverished planet.
This is truly a beautiful misunderstanding.
Su Xiaocai touched her face. Although she was thin, she definitely belonged to the type that looks good without clothes on. Moreover, her skin was fair with a healthy blush, by all standards a healthy baby.
The back-and-forth conversation ended up going nowhere.
Xue Huiyi spoke flawlessly, saying she thought she was from Garbage Star, but then followed it up by saying she was too skinny and misunderstood, effectively denying what she just said.
Su Xiaocai found it pointless. Being confrontational would only make others see her as sharp-tongued and difficult to get along with.
Since Xue Huiyi had a bad first impression of her, there was no need to have lunch together; she was afraid it would turn into a heated argument.
Never one to wrong herself, Su Xiaocai stood up, "Alright, I think itāll be hard to enjoy this meal, Iām leaving first."
She had no particular interest in Xue Huiyi before, but she did look into the situation of the Xue Family.
The Xue Family produces high-end mecha and possesses power and wealth, while Su Xiaocai only had Daddy Su; it wouldnāt be wise to confront Xue Huiyi directly.
Let it be natural.
With no grievances between them, if she couldnāt stand someone, she just wouldnāt associate with them, which was perfectly fine.
Xue Huiyi was stunned by her quick retreat, then a cold smile curled on her lips.
The cold smile quickly turned into a wry one, making it impossible for others to notice her change. "I was just being straightforward, I didnāt expect my junior to care so much. Iāve heard that the more you care, the more it shows you value it, so why get upset over a couple of unintentional words?"
"Oh, you were unintentional, I took it to heart. If we donāt hit it off, itās fine not to engage; thereās no need to say one thing and mean another. I canāt drink this cup of green tea." With that, Su Xiaocai turned and left without hesitation, leaving them with a carefree wave.
Xing Miao and Feng Wansha looked at each other, hurrying to follow their roommate. They didnāt know Xue Huiyi, only aware that her family background was quite impressive.
They understood clearly. Considering the distance between them and Xue Huiyi, even in terms of future job prospects, they wouldnāt work for the Xue Family. Xue Family employees experienced intense overtime, which most people couldnāt endure.
But theyāll have to coexist with their roommates for four years, so naturally, it made sense to first try to get along with a capable roommate.
"Sister Xue, are you alright?" Wu Qingqing had never seen this side of Xue Huiyi, just moments ago full of thorns, quite different from her usual gentle demeanor.
Xue Huiyi smiled indifferently and calmed down. Seeing Wu Qingqing was about to leave too, she grabbed her arm, "Qingqing, we havenāt chatted for a long time, letās have a talk."
Wu Qingqing hesitated, as Su Xiaocai was to be her future mentor; she wondered what advantages Xue Huiyi could offer her.
Despite knowing Xue Huiyi for quite some time, aside from her good piloting skills, they had no interaction.
Xue Huiyi had too many friends around her. Previously, when she wanted to get to know her, Xue Huiyi had just smiled and gracefully passed by.
After weighing her options, Wu Qingqing apologized, straightforwardly saying, "Letās not chat, I need to head back too. I only just met the new roommate today; you wonāt get any information out of me."
Xue Huiyi: "..."
So annoying, is Su Xiaocai some kind of poison? Roommates she only met a day ago are already following her.
The blonde guy grinned, "Iām leaving too. I wonāt serve the young lady. Liu Xun, are you coming with me? Letās catch up with those female classmates and get to know them."
Liu Xun, always prioritizing women over friends, masked his longing with, "Ahem, it wouldnāt be good to leave you alone, Hu Ping, Iāll join you too."
The remaining roommate looked around, then decided against being the third wheel and hurried after Hu Ping too.
The place suddenly lost seven people, making the originally cramped snack bar seem empty.
Ji Heng rubbed his forehead. He really liked girls like Xue Huiyi; gentle, caring, smart, and witty, perfectly meeting all criteria big families had for choosing daughters-in-law.
Therefore, when his parents mentioned their cooperation with the Xue Family and Xue Huiyi being arranged as his fiancƩe, he was delighted.
But he couldnāt handle Xue Huiyi being clingy like a gum and having a pathological possessiveness.
After spending so much time with her, he truly couldnāt bear it any longer.
Xue Huiyi said pitifully, "Brother Ji, Iām sorry, did I cause conflict between you and your roommates?"
"No." He suppressed his irritation, saying, "Hu Ping and I are seniors. Initially, this was just to invite them out for a meal. Hu Ping is eccentric, let it be if he leaves. What do you want to eat? Order, and Iāll head back to my brotherās place afterward. He has something for me."
