Chapter 228: Chapter 232: Roommate Returns to the Team Chapter 228: Chapter 232: Roommate Returns to the Team Chen Huaying was sorting out stuff she had brought from home when she heard them looking at the âweibo.â She pretended not to care but took a look anyway.
Hmm! It really is pretty!
Chen Huaying scrunched up her nose and pretended to be indifferent, âI think itâs quite ordinary!â
âWho said that? Itâs obviously pretty.â She had just asked Sheng Ning how it was made and planned to try making one herself in the future.
âPsh! Is it as pretty as Shanghaiâs? Or Guangdongâs? Or Hong Kongâs?â Now that reform and opening-up were happening, more and more things were reaching the Mainland.
In the circle Chen Huaying moved in, she naturally had access to resources others didnât.
âIâve heard of Shanghai, but what on earth is Hong Kong?â Before she joined the General Union, the furthest Zhang Hongmei had been was to the town, and the biggest city she knew was the provincial capital.
âThe name Hong Kong is so strange, could it be they sell fragrances or something?â
Chen Huayingâs face turned white with anger. Was this girl doing this on purpose? She was really good at it.
âSheng Ning, come and explain to this country girl.â The more Zhang Hongmei hated being called a âcountry girl,â the more she wanted to say it.
âI donât know either! What is Hong Kong?â Sheng Ning held her belly and laughed uproariously, falling onto her own bed, and laughing uncontrollably.
âAlright! Youâre all ganging up against me, see if I donât tear your mouth apart.â Chen Huaying pinned Sheng Ning on the bed and tickled her relentlessly.
Sheng Ning was terribly ticklish, once anyone tickled her, she couldnât stop laughing. âHahaha⊠I was wrong! Dear Huaying, I was wrong⊠hahaha⊠itâs too ticklish, stop!â
âI wonât stop, I wonât stop. Iâll show you for making fun of me, dare you do it again?â
âNo more, truly no more! Spare me this time!â
âNo way! You must apologize!â
âI apologize!â Sheng Ning laughed so hard she could hardly breathe, her black, shiny hair scattering messily across the bed. A hint of allure added to her usual serene demeanor made her especially captivating.
âAnd whereâs the restitution?â Chen Huaying had already set her eyes on the scarf Sheng Ning had just knitted.
âScarf, this scarf is for you.â Sheng Ning graciously offered the scarf with both hands. âMy most esteemed Empress Dowager, these are my humble offerings, are you satisfied?â
Sheng Ningâs expression was hilarious, amusing Zhang Hongmei to no end.
Finally arriving was Wu Youli, who pushed open the door and stood at the doorstep in astonishment.
âItâs alright, Iâll just settle for it!â Successfully securing the scarf, Chen Huaying simply let her go.
Once freed, Sheng Ning collapsed onto the bed.
âMomma! Iâm so tired!â
Wu Youli, carrying big and small bags, came in, shaking her head with a smile, her face full of joy. To have such teammates, such roommates, she felt incredibly blessed.
Previously with Zhao Feifei, all she heard were othersâ grapevine talks. The topic she heard the most was who had illicit relations, who loved to show off. The chase was pretentious, and who had a powerful background.
These made her very irritable and averse to them. She had always thought thatâs how the outside society was, complicated and full of deceit.
But now, she understood, real teammates werenât like that; they should be like they were now.
Able to play without reservations, able to laugh heartily and carefree.
Itâs really nice!
âYah! Youâre back!â Sheng Ning happily offered a smile.
âYeah! My mom didnât want to let me return.â Wu Youliâs smile was warm, and after speaking, she didnât forget to smile toward Zhang Hongmei, âIâve brought a lot of tasty things, everyone try some.â
