After Xia Chuyi left, she knew nothing about what had happened at the Huo Family.
In the next two days, Xia Chuyi followed her original plans, visiting everyone she intended to, and also managed the affairs of "Youwei."
Then, with her luggage in tow, she truly returned to school—to the dormitory.
By the time she got back to the dorm, some of the roommates in room 201 had already returned before her.
Interestingly, those who lived farther usually arrived at school first, while those who lived nearby had not arrived yet.
So, like Xia Chuyi who was from another province, classmates such as Zheng Yan had already made it there first.
Only Jiang Shuqin was nowhere to be seen.
"Chuyi, you’re back?"
The roommates greeted each other warmly.
"Wow, did you bring all these delicious things with you?" Zheng Yan and the others exclaimed joyfully upon seeing the things she was carrying.
The so-called specialties Xia Chuyi brought were mainly dried fruits produced by her family’s business.
Additionally, she also brought some braised dishes from "Youwei" for her classmates to enjoy.
As soon as she brought out her offerings, they were met with tremendous enthusiasm from her classmates.
Then, the friends also shared what they had brought.
The group laughed and chattered, eating and drinking, excitedly talking about various holiday experiences.
Just then, Jiang Shuqin finally returned.
"Wow, wow, wow, you brought so much good food and didn’t wait for me?" Jiang Shuqin cried out as soon as she entered and saw everyone eating.
She rushed over, squeezed into the middle of the group, and started grabbing food to put into her mouth.
"You guys, you’re really not righteous!" Jiang Shuqin said seriously, "Unity is strength, how could you leave behind your comrade-in-arms and enjoy the fruits of victory alone?"
"That’s really not on!"
Her words were solemn, but her hands did not stop reaching for more food, which just made everyone laugh.
Unlike the others, Jiang Shuqin didn’t bring any specialties because she often treated everyone to food.
So, everyone was quite happy to have this chance to return her generosity.
For a moment, the dormitory atmosphere was incredibly harmonious.
This was exactly how university life should be.
Xia Chuyi felt extremely pleased.
After eating for a while, everyone started to organize their belongings.
Xia Chuyi also got busy. After tidying up her bedding, she picked up her water bottle, ready to go outside to get water.
Just as she was walking out of the dormitory, Jiang Shuqin, who was still stuffing food into her mouth, followed her out.
"Hey, Chuyi!" Jiang Shuqin called out to her, looked around to make sure no one was around, and then asked Xia Chuyi in a low voice, "Chuyi, there’s no problem between you and Huo Shiqian, right?"
Hearing Jiang Shuqin ask mysteriously, Xia Chuyi looked puzzled and asked, "No, why would you ask that, Shuqin?"
Jiang Shuqin looked at her, confirmed again, and said, "Really, there’s no problem?"
"Yeah," Xia Chuyi nodded and responded, "Really, there’s no problem."
Hearing this, Jiang Shuqin patted her chest and replied, "Okay then, that’s good!"
Xia Chuyi’s gaze flickered slightly as she stared intently at Jiang Shuqin and asked, "Shuqin, did you... hear something?"
Hearing the question, Jiang Shuqin’s eyes flickered, she coughed twice, and then said, "Well, I just heard that, apparently, Huo Shiqian’s stepmother is looking around for potential partners for him."
