Hearing that, Meng Kefei was embarrassed and wasn’t sure what to say.
Just then, Tang Yuanyuan held her hands and said, “No. Since Kefei is feeling unwell, I’ll go back to the dormitory with her. There are two of you anyway. Please go on shopping.”
Zhang Xiaolu and Yuan Yuehan had wanted to go shopping with Tang Yuanyuan so that they could find out more about Yuchi Yishu. However, Meng Kefei had ruined their plan. In that instant, they shot her unkind looks.
“We’ll take our leave. Please go on. Goodbye.”
When they entered a taxi, Meng Kefei took a look at Tang Yuanyuan’s profile. Seeing that the latter looked like her usual self, she couldn’t help saying, “Yuanyuan, you…”
“Yes?” Tang Yuanyuan cocked her head and looked at Meng Kefei in puzzlement.
Seeing her innocent expression, Meng Kefei stopped what she was trying to say and remained silent before she heaved a sigh.
“Nothing.”
“Fei, you’re strange today.”
Sigh, Yuanyuan. It’s not that I’m strange. It’s just that you’re too innocent.
They returned to the dormitory. Tang Yuanyuan was energetic at first, but the moment she slumped into her bed, she started feeling sleepy and dozed off.
Meng Kefei, who claimed to be feeling unwell, took a seat beside the bed. Seeing the sound asleep Tang Yuanyuan, she shook her head.
Sigh, her world is all about eating and sleeping. Oh, and her brother as well.
Zhang Xiaolu and Yuan Yuehan returned to the dormitory in the afternoon. When they saw Meng Kefei washing her clothes in the bathroom, while Tang Yuanyuan was asleep, they traded glances and entered the bathroom.
Seeing them, Meng Kefei wanted to get out.
However, they directly closed the door. The room was too small to accommodate three people. In that instant, Meng Kefei could only lean against the wall.
“Your name is Meng Kefei, right?”
Zhang Xiaolu shot her a sneer and wanted to pinch her chin, but the latter evaded. “What are you doing?”
“What are we doing? That’s the question we should ask you. Why did you tag along when we asked Yuanyuan out for lunch? After you went, why couldn’t you stay still? Why were you making a fuss?” Unlike Zhang Xiaolu, Yuan Yuehan directly pulled Meng Kefei’s hair in a forceful way. Meng Kefei bit her lip and growled, “Release me.”
“Release you? You have to promise you won’t ruin our plan.”
“You have an ulterior motive. Don’t even think about befriending Yuanyuan!” Meng Kefei was so angry that she wanted to pull their hair, but they were much taller. They joined forces and pressed Meng Kefei against the floor, rendering her unable to get up.
“What do you mean that we have an ulterior motive? You have a pure intention, then? Why was your face red when he stroked your head? So what if we befriend Yuanyuan with a motive? As long as we don’t harm her, it has nothing to do with you.”
“Don’t bad-mouth us in front of Yuanyuan, get it? Otherwise, we’ll make sure you won’t be able to go to school.”
Meng Kefei never agreed or rejected them. Initially, she was resistant until she had lost all her energy.
After a long while, Zhang Xiaolu and Yuan Yuehan traded glances and released her before leaving the bathroom together.
Slam!
Meng Kefei remained in her position and spaced out for a long time. When she sat up and leaned against the wall, her eyes already reddened.
Damn it! They’re so terrible!
She didn’t want to cry, but her tears kept streaming down, so she had no choice but to keep wiping her tears off. Her hair was disheveled, and her clothes were wet.
Hearing the noise, Tang Yuanyuan opened her eyes in a daze and saw Zhang Xiaolu and Yuan Yuehan. She rubbed her eyes and said, “You’re back.”
“Yes, Yuanyuan. It’s hot outside, so we came back early. You just woke up? We’ve bought milk tea for you. What flavor do you fancy?”
Milk tea?
Hearing that, Tang Yuanyuan sat straight up. “Really? You guys are so good to me.”
“Don’t mention it. We’re roommates, so it’s normal that we’re good to you.”
Zhang Xiaolu extended her hand to help Tang Yuanyuan tidy up her hair. “But don’t drink it now since you’ve just woken up, and girls shouldn’t drink too much iced tea. Leave it here for a moment first.”
“Okay, thanks.”
With that, Tang Yuanyuan stood up. “I’ll go to the bathroom then.”
After taking only a few steps, she was stopped by Zhang Xiaolu and Yuan Yuehan. “Wait a minute.”
“Yes?”
“Err, we just bought some new dresses. Can you comment whether they look good on us?”
After a long time of sleep, Tang Yuanyuan needed to use the toilet, but she was shy to reject their request, so she agreed, “Alright.”
They kept trying on new clothes to show Tang Yuanyuan, who praised that all the dresses looked great.
“Yuanyuan, you’re so sweet. Have you brought any dresses?”
“I’ve only brought some.”
“Get changed and show us.”
Tang Yuanyuan rejected them and said she wanted to go to the bathroom. Seeing that they couldn’t stop her, they had no choice but to let her go.
When Tang Yuanyuan entered the bathroom, she realized that someone was there. Zhang Xiaolu and Yuan Yuehan followed along.
“Is it you, Kefei?”
Meng Kefei had composed herself and raised her head. “Yes.”
Seeing her reddened eyes, Tang Yuanyuan felt that something was wrong. “What’s happened?”
When Meng Kefei saw the ferocious-looking girls behind Tang Yuanyuan, she hesitated for a moment and replied, “Nothing. I miss my mom.”
Hearing that, Tang Yuanyuan recalled that Meng Kefei’s mom had gone to another place for work and could only come home at the beginning of next year.
“Sorry, Fei. I was asleep when you missed your family on your own. I’ll visit your mom with you during the holidays.”
“Okay. Do you want to use the bathroom? Go ahead. I’m leaving.”
After the door was closed, Zhang Xiaolu and Yuan Yuehan sneered, “I’m glad you knew your place.”
Unresigned, Meng Kefei leaned against the wall. However, when she thought that she was unimportant and that her family was poor, she lost all her energy in an instant.
She wasn’t good at anything, so how could she go against them?
When Tang Yuanyuan was done with her business, her phone rang. Just when she wanted to open the door and answer the call, Zhang Xiaolu had picked up her phone and answered it for her.
“Hello, are you Yuanyuan’s brother? I’m her roommate, Zhang Xiaolu. Oh, she’s inside the bathroom. I’ll tell her to come.”
When Zhang Xiaolu turned around and saw Tang Yuanyuan, she flashed a smile to her. “Yuanyuan, it’s your brother.”
“Oh, thanks.” Tang Yuanyuan went over and took over the phone. For some reason, she felt that something was off.
