But Zheng Yanfei, still thrilled about the gift from Lin Shen, wasn’t angry at all. In fact, she just giggled and said,

"So what if she does? My boyfriend loves me the most, anyway."

"So forgiving?"

Tang Tian’s eyes widened. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"Your boyfriend is cheating, and you’re not angry?"

"Cheating? Please. It’s called being a player!"

Zheng Yanfei retorted earnestly.

"You’ve seen him. My boyfriend is handsome, rich, and comes from a good family. A guy that amazing is bound to have tons of girls fawning over him, some who would even throw themselves at him."

"Instead of getting jealous and upset over something like this, it’s better to just be open-minded about it. As long as he loves me the most, that’s all that matters!"

"TSK TSK!"

Hearing Zheng Yanfei’s rather bold statement, Xu Manman tsked, shook her head, and teased,

"Feifei, you’re really something else. If it were me, I could never put up with that."

"Honestly, if he were just some average guy, I would never accept him being a scumbag."

Zheng Yanfei let out a theatrical sigh.

"But what can I do? My boyfriend is just that exceptional. He has too many good qualities to count, so being a bit of a player is acceptable. Nobody’s perfect, right?"

"You just feel like you’re not good enough for your boyfriend, that’s all."

Cheng Xiao’s words hit the nail on the head, her tone exceptionally cutting and cruel.

"You’re afraid of losing him, of him dumping you, so you put up with his scumbag behavior. For all you know, you’re the other woman yourself and you’re too clueless to even realize it. HMPH!"

"Cheng Xiao! Are you looking for a fight?"

Struck a nerve, Zheng Yanfei shot to her feet to confront Cheng Xiao, and the atmosphere in the dorm instantly bristled with tension.

Seeing this, Tang Tian and Xu Manman quickly stepped in, each holding one of them back as they tried to mediate.

"Hey! Can you two just cool it? We all live in the same dorm; we see each other all the time. Why make things so unpleasant?"

"It’s Feifei! She’s always antagonizing me!"

Cheng Xiao complained, her face flushed with anger.

"Every time a great guy starts pursuing me, I find out he’s got something going on with Feifei!"

"Has it ever occurred to you that we might both just be fish in his pond? Besides, is it my fault that I’m pretty and they all like me?"

Zheng Yanfei was almost speechless at Cheng Xiao’s naivety.

"And when have you ever seen me fight you over a guy? I reject the ones who chase me, you know!"

"If I actually tried, Cheng would’ve been wrapped around my little finger ages ago!"

"Hmph."

Cheng Xiao couldn’t be bothered to argue further with Zheng Yanfei, because every word she said was true.

Knowing she was in the wrong, she immediately turned and left the room to go wash up in the bathroom.

Tang Tian and Xu Manman exchanged a helpless look, then stepped in together to play peacemaker.

"Feifei, don’t get too worked up over Cheng Xiao. That’s just how she is, she always gets hung up on things. Don’t let it get to you."

"I know."

It might have seemed like Zheng Yanfei and Cheng Xiao were mortal enemies, but in reality, their conflict was always out in the open.

This was actually a good thing.

The scariest people were the "smiling tigers"—the ones who were all smiles to your face but would stab you in the back.

So, although Zheng Yanfei and Cheng Xiao seemed to argue all the time, the fires that flared up between them were always easily extinguished.

"Feifei, you should bring your boyfriend to our next dorm dinner."

Tang Tian suggested.

"With his connections, he must know people at the airlines, right? Our junior year internships are coming up. It’s the perfect chance to see if we can find someone to pull some strings for us!"

"Alright."

Zheng Yanfei had been wondering how to ask Lin Shen out again, and Tang Tian’s words gave her the perfect excuse.

’But next time... we should probably do *that*, right?’

Zheng Yanfei’s cheeks flushed as she mulled it over, her mind seemingly made up.

’I have to start preparing right away!’

And so, Zheng Yanfei put aside what she was doing, opened the TikTok app, and started shopping for lingerie and battle armor.

The sheer number of choices was overwhelming, but one particular item made her eyes light up.
