Chapter 19: I Didn’t Ask You For Money, This Drink Is On Me
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Her name was Han Tian. She was born locally in the imperial capital and was from a good family background.
The other dormmate here was Sai Wenwen from Modu City.
That’s right, she had an unusual surname. In addition to the name her family gave her, it sounded very much like seven in English when simplified. Everyone in the dorm just called her Xiao Qi.
[Translation note: Seven in mandarin is Qi]
The one who called out Tang Chi was Han Tian.
Even though Han Tian was born locally and from a good family background, she still was easy-mannered and had a bright personality. She had a good relationship with Tang Chi.
Tang Chi nodded and placed the duck blood soup on Ni Jieya’s table as soon as she entered the room, “Your noodles cost fifteen bucks. Do you want to transfer it or pay me by cash?”
This sentence made Han Tian, who was wiping her face when she called out Tang Chi, turn around while looking slightly surprised.
Her words came out so naturally.
Because it was said so naturally, it didn’t make other people feel that there was anything wrong.
However, wasn’t she too shy to say it out in the past?
Han Tian knew Ni Jieya’s personality. Ni Jieya wouldn’t look down at any college mates whose family background wasn’t all that good. As long as they were good people, she would treat them equally.
However, from Han Tian’s understanding, this Ni Jieya was from quite a decent family background. Perhaps she wasn’t from a very wealthy family, but she could still afford some branded items, even the skincare that she used was from an affordable luxurious brand. However, why did she have to be so stingy when it came to people?
Tang Chi had already bought food for her a couple of times before but Han Tian noticed that Ni Jieya never offered to pay Tang Chi back for it.
As long as Tang Chi didn’t mention it, Ni Jieya just simply assumed that nothing needed to be done.
There were many times when Han Tian wanted to ask Ni Jieya to pay what she owed to Tang Chi, however, she stopped herself after thinking about it. Tang Chi herself didn’t ask for it, how was she supposed to bring the matter up?
This time, Han Tian was really surprised at Tang Chi.
Ni Jieya was also shocked. She didn’t expect that Tang Chi would ask her for the money the minute she received her food.
Ni Jieya’s face turned sour. She took out her phone and said, “I’ll transfer it to you… seriously, are you afraid I won’t pay you back?”
This complaint made Han Tian click her tongue in disgust. Sai Wenwen just listened on while looking confused.
Tang Chi responded back in a natural manner. “Yeah, you didn’t pay me back the last few times, did you?”
Ni Jieya: “…”
Han Tian: “…”
Wow. Did Tang Chi change her personality when she went back home this time?
They remembered that Tang Chi was so soft and gentle in the past, she was an easy target to bully. She had the same personality as Sai Wenwen. However, Sai Wenwen was well protected by her family; she was innocent and didn’t know a lot of things.
Tang Chi, on the other hand, was considered as the shy and reserved type who wouldn’t dare to say anything even if there was something bothering her. This was the reason Ni Jieya always took advantage of her in this dorm room.
Today, Tang Chi seemed like a whole different person.
No matter how thick-skinned Ni Jieya was, she was stung by Tang Chi’s last sentence. She agitatedly asked, “How much money? I’ll transfer it all to you.”
Tang Chi pursed her lips for a while to think. Ni Jieya thought that Tang Chi was regretting her words and would have probably said that she was only kidding around. However, after a few seconds later, Tang Chi said, “I can’t recall the exact amount, just transfer a hundred to me.”
Ni Jieya: “…”
Han Tian almost burst out laughing.
Ni Jieya forcefully pressed her phone and said, “Transferred.”
Tang Chi put the milk tea on her table. Ni Jieya had a big reaction regarding this. “I didn’t say I wanted milk tea!”
Tang Chi gave Ni Jieya a smile that didn’t meet her eyes, “I didn’t ask you for money. This drink is on me.”
Ni Jieya’s face immediately turned red.
Han Tian looked at Tang Chi differently now. The latter walked to her bedside while smiling towards Han Tian and Sai Wenwen. “You and Xiao Qi don’t like milk tea, so I didn’t buy it for you two.”
