After dinner, Luo Yanran sent Qin Nuan and Luo Qianqian back to school, claiming that the house was too full of yang energy and lacked space, so she asked them to stay in the dormitory...

It was an obvious excuse, likely because there was something she didn’t want them to know, but seeing how she was saying goodbye to Qin Nuan with such reluctance, it was clear that she had made a big decision.

"What’s that idiot of yours up to again?" Luo Qianqian asked, holding Qin Nuan’s hand as they walked down a path on campus, looking a bit resigned.

Qin Nuan rolled her eyes, annoyed. "Doesn’t that make you an idiot too?" She paused for a moment before continuing, "Apparently, there’s something Grandpa wants us sent back for."

"Hey, so that outsider gets to stay at home?" Luo Qianqian was suddenly displeased. Clearly, she was better than many people, like Luo Yanran; she clearly couldn’t outplay her, right?

"Oh, you mean your male god?" Qin Nuan laughed slyly. "You used to call him academic god, male god, little brother. How come now he’s an ’outsider’?"

"Come on, is this the time to be picky?" Luo Qianqian huffed, then saw Zhang Yun walking hurriedly in another direction and didn’t notice her due to their respective angles.

"Hey? Zhang Yun?" Qin Nuan was about to call out when Luo Qianqian stopped her, hesitating, "I saw her with Xu Xiaoxiao before when I was with Tang Tianyi."

"Ah? Xu Xiaoxiao?" That name was so familiar. Wasn’t she the woman who always stirred up trouble and had just been kicked out of the Luo family by the two of them? "That one from yesterday?"

Luo Qianqian nodded seriously, "Lin Jiayou said she’s met an online friend she often goes out with."

"Online friend? Does he think this is... Oh, right, we are in the age of internet dating..." Qin Nuan was stunned, her eyes filled with hesitation, "So are you..."

"We know nothing, I don’t even know what they’re up to, and I certainly don’t know if Xu Xiaoxiao knows we’re in the same dorm room. So what if she knows? And so what if she doesn’t... who has the time to worry about these things?"

Spreading her hands, Luo Qianqian looked indifferent, and Qin Nuan agreed, nodding, "Are you saying she might be with that nasty woman?" As for Zhang Yun, Qin Nuan saw her clearly.

Zhang Yun was relatively old acquaintance, but she was initially closest with Cong Rong in the dorm.

But even Cong Rong couldn’t replace Luo Qianqian’s place in her heart!

Luo Qianqian’s position was arguably the most important, sometimes even more than her own brother.

After all, in some sense, the two of them were on the same team.

"Not likely." Luo Qianqian shook her head unexpectedly, her face calm, "She’s a pretty simple person; she probably doesn’t know Xu Xiaoxiao’s relationship with us. Or maybe Xu Xiaoxiao hasn’t even figured out her relationship with us, or maybe she just hasn’t exposed her intention yet."

"You’re right, too," Qin Nuan agreed readily, nodding. Anyone who tries so hard to match with a guy can’t be that scheming.

In this world, ordinary guys like green tea girls, green teas like bad boys, bad boys like gold diggers, and white lotus flowers, whereas the latter likes rich men.

In their eyes, Lin Jiayou could only be considered an ordinary guy with masculinity, not a bad guy. After all, someone who intentionally leaves space in his luggage for pig trotters couldn’t be a bad guy, right?

Doesn’t Zhang Yun liking such a person show she’s not complicated either? It’s about liking at first sight.

You ask, what kind of men do ordinary women like? Male gods, just like Yhan Miyuan kinds who live on the big screen.

"Qhianqhian, there’s something I want to tell you." Qin Nuan, stunned for a moment, suddenly spoke.

Luo Qianqian nodded, her face filled with confusion. What’s up now?

"Come closer." Qin Nuan bent down.

Luo Qianqian leaned towards Qin Nuan.

Qin Nuan whispered to her, "Go buy me a pack of sanitary pads..."

Luo Qianqian was floored, then watched as Qin Nuan rushed into a nearby teaching building without another word, leaving her speechless.

Quickly, she picked up her bag and headed to the shop.

Yet, she saw a boy holding a pen—a brush, an iron brush at that—which caught Luo Qianqian’s attention.

Nevertheless, she turned to the shopkeeper and said, "Give me a pack of brushes... No, give me a pack of sanitary pads, the pink one." She pointed nonchalantly, her face calm.

In the dorm, of course, there were spares, so a small pack was enough.

The boy inexplicably looked at Luo Qianqian, "Water?" 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

A moment later, he frowned and grabbed her wrist, "The compass wouldn’t lie; it’s you!"

"What the heck, who are you? Let go or I’m going to start shouting harassment!" Just as the aunt behind the counter handed the ’little bread’ to Luo Qianqian, she accidentally grabbed the wrong hand.

The young man frowned and, instead, looked at the shop owner, shaking his head, "I won’t harass you; you’re not as blessed as my Xiao Hua."

"What?" The shopkeeper still calling, it was clear Xiao Hua wasn’t someone’s name, more like a pet name.

Luo Qianqian left some money behind, turned, and walked away quietly.

She didn’t want to be entangled with such people. Strange things were already enough around her, adding one or two more, she’d be truly sick of it.

"Luo Qianqian!" Xi Ming stopped her as she was rushing by, "Haven’t seen you in school these past few days, playing hooky?"

"Don’t bully good students, senior, I’m not one to play hooky; I took leave." Luo Qianqian said seriously, smiling, with no embarrassment about the black plastic-wrapped ’little bread’ in her hand.

"Hmm, I’ve heard." Xi Ming smiled lightly, "By the way, Sister Xi said you should drop by when you can; she brought you a gift."

"A gift? Oh, great!" Luo Qianqian nodded excitedly.

Glancing at the things in Luo Qianqian’s hands, he smiled slightly, "You have someone waiting for you, right? Go ahead, contact me later."

Luo Qianqian was instantly embarrassed. How did he see through it when it was wrapped so tightly?

Xi Ming smirked slightly, "Only those things are packed in black plastic bags. Go on."

Luo Qianqian nodded numbly and left.

Xi Ming watched Luo Qianqian walk away, his lips curved in a smile.

He didn’t say it, but how could Luo Qianqian not look like a mature woman who had crossed that step, so it must be bought for someone else.

Leisurely stepping along, he continued towards the dormitory, just brushing past a strangely dressed boy...

The boy was bewildered, "Women are tigers, master was right, but where on earth did this person go?"
