Chapter 469: Chapter 335: The Inseparable Little Couple_3
Seeing her rushing in huffing and puffing, Chen Xue, who was sitting on the bed reading a comic book, couldn’t help but ask with concern, “Pear, are you alright?”
“No, I’m fine.”
Gu Li rested her hand on the edge of the bed, still panting heavily.
Just as Mi Dong was about to climb into bed, she decided to walk over and rub Gu Li’s back to help her catch her breath. “Why did you run so fast? Were you being chased by some kind of enemy?”
“Pfft—”
Gu Li laughed, “Room captain, since when did you become so funny?”
“Why didn’t you walk slower then?”
“Isn’t it because I want to see you guys sooner?”
Gu Li tugged at her lips, turning on her sweet-talking mode.
However, her two roommates didn’t appreciate it.
Chen Xue rolled her eyes, “Cut it out, we aren’t Young Master Mo, we’re not falling for your charming words.”
Mi Dong added, “Indeed, even combined, our looks don’t match up to one-tenth of Young Master Mo’s, we know our limits.”
Gu Li grinned, “You talk as if you’ve met Mo Shiting, in fact, he’s just average-looking, like, globally third place.”
Chen Xue & Mi Dong: “Nothing more to say.”
“Hey, where’s Qiao Yin?”
Only then did Gu Li realize that one person was missing from their dorm room.
Chen Xue replied truthfully, “Oh her. She left after receiving a phone call and hasn’t come back yet.”
“It’s so late and she’s still not back? Shouldn’t we give her a call to check up?”
Gu Li kindly suggested.
Although she wasn’t very close to Qiao Yin, she was still a roommate and they should take care of one another.
Mi Dong remarked, “We called just now and she didn’t answer. Let’s wait a bit longer. If she doesn’t come back by midnight, we’ll call again.”
Just as she finished speaking, the door was pushed open and Qiao Yin staggered in, reeking of alcohol.
“Gosh, why did you drink so much?”
Mi Dong quickly went up to meet her, pinched her nose, and then wafted her hand in the air to diffuse the smell.
With the tiny space in their dorm room, the strong smell of alcohol was indeed unpleasant.
Gu Li immediately went to the balcony and opened the door to air out the room.
However, to Qiao Yin, their actions seemed like a rejection of her.
Consequently, she started accusing Gu Li while continuously burping, “What’s your problem? As soon as I walk in, you open the balcony door? Do you look down on me? Just because you’re a rich girl doesn’t mean you’re anything special.”
Gu Li blinked, her small face a bit stunned as Qiao Yin raged out of nowhere.
Chen Xue was also stunned by Qiao Yin’s continuous accusations.
What happened?
And why is she picking on Little Pear all of a sudden?
Hasn’t everything been peaceful till now?
Mi Dong was initially taken aback, but soon realized what was going on and quickly stopped Qiao Yin, who was trying to pick a fight with Gu Li, “Hey, you’re drunk. Sit down and rest.”
There’s no point in reasoning with a drunk person, especially when she appeared to be seriously intoxicated.
Qiao Yin forcefully shrugged off Mi Dong’s hand and growled, “I’m not drunk. It just pisses me off that you all hover around her… So what if she’s a bit wealthier and slightly more attractive? What’s so great about that?”
Gu Li frowned.
To her surprise, this roommate had such a huge problem with her. She must have been hiding it and only vented it all out today with the help of alcohol.
Chen Xue, afraid that Qiao Yin would continue to cause trouble, quickly got off the bed, walked over to Gu Li and comforted her, “Don’t take her seriously. She’s drunk and talking nonsense.”
“It doesn’t matter, I don’t take it to heart.”
Gu Li spoke in an indifferent tone.
Ever since she was little, there were always people who would feel envious of her. Therefore, the number of friends she could truly confide in were countable on one hand. When it came down to it, it was only her cousin Murong Qian and Murong Qian’s bestie Ye Yining. But these two were both four to five years older than her, not in the same age group.
This was quite sad. After all, she too wanted to make some good friends of the same age.
Chen Xue patted her shoulder, “Don’t worry, when she wakes up tomorrow, I’ll make sure she apologizes to you.”
Gu Li curled her lips, looked at Chen Xue and laughed, “No need for that, let’s not make it more uncomfortable. Let’s just act as if this never happened.”
“But….”
Seeing Gu Li’s carefree expression, as if it didn’t bother her at all, Chen Xue swallowed and was about to say something when Qiao Yin interrupted—
“Boohoo… I wanted to go participate in ‘Super Brain’ in M Country too but why did you have to take my spot? Boohoo…”
“Do you even know how long I’ve been waiting for this? After competing so much, I finally had a chance, but why did you manage to take it away so easily?”
“I’m smart too. I’m also the top student in the Chinese literature department. Where did I lose to you?”
“I won’t accept this!”
“I hate people like you so much…”
By now, Qiao Yin was crying and lamenting about the injustice she had suffered, while being held back by Mi Dong on the seat.
The three of them looked at each other and finally understood why Qiao Yin harbored such a huge grudge against Gu Li.
“Pear, you’re participating in ‘Super Brain’?”
