Chapter 788: Chapter 787: The Two Join Forces_1 Chapter 788: Chapter 787: The Two Join Forces_1 Nan Fei smiled and said, “Good day, Auntie. We just arrived today. We have only been in the dormitory for less than half an hour, so we didn’t have a chance to look around.”
“You just arrived today?” Even with a bellyful of anger, Zhang Xiufang couldn’t outright curse such a lovely girl who was talking to her with a smile. It’s most satisfying to let it all out at once in cursing, in one fell swoop, dousing the other party in insults.
If she didn’t let it all out at first, it would only come out a bit at a time, again and again, until she ran out of steam.
Sensing the adverse situation, Lan Xi wanted to interrupt their conversation, but as soon as she opened her mouth, He Shasha, who was standing aside, gave her a stern glance. Making a throat-slitting gesture, the malicious intent in her eyes was completely undisguised.
When He Shasha gets fierce, a regular girl can’t compare. After all, she didn’t spend five years in fighting for nothing.
Lan Xi couldn’t help but shiver under her gaze, sensing more fear.
If she had known these two were so arrogant and difficult to deal with, she wouldn’t have wielded her authority so soon after her arrival.
“Yes, Auntie. My name is Jiang Nanfei. Please take good care of me in the future.”
“Jiang Nanfei?” Zhang Xiufang thought for a moment, “You are the top-notch student? The one ranked first in cultural courses?”
Nanfei laughed shyly and modestly answered, “Yes, Auntie! But, please don’t say that; I’ll feel embarrassed.”
Zhang Xiufang seemed to like her a lot more; this young girl was so delightful. Moreover, with such excellent performance in cultural courses. She had heard teachers from the school say that many renowned universities are vying to enroll this girl!
However, this girl wrote their school for all her three college choices.
This shows that she’s determined to join the military, a student with a strong revolutionary stance.
Preliminary impressions play a vital role in how people perceive others, so Zhang Xiufang, once influenced this way, began to view Nan Fei in a good light. She even started to worry about whether the girl, with her thin and frail appearance, could withstand the harsh military training.
“And her?” Zhang Xiufang pointed at He Shasha.
Fearing that Shasha might offend people, Nan Fei immediately replied, “She’s my friend; we were high school classmates. Her name is He Shasha!”
“She’s my best friend,” He Shasha added, reaffirming her relationship with Nan Fei.
“Yes, yes, yes…” What a silly girl! She’s still not serious even when she’s about to get into big trouble. Just based on her act of throwing things earlier, she might even face severe punishment.
Thinking about this, Nan Fei quickly added, “We call her He Silly because she is really silly.”
Zhang Xiufang’s stiff face softened a bit, “Tell me what happened.”
“Auntie, I already told you, how come you don’t believe me?” Lan Xi turned red in embarrassment, feeling like she’d been wronged.
“Auntie, let me explain.” Nan Fei grabbed Zhang Xiufang’s hand, “Actually, it’s nothing serious. When we moved in, there were lots of things, and there was no place to walk around. The stuff that fell was piled near the balcony. Silly accidentally stepped on the air while fetching things and she threw them in all the confusion.”
She spoke neither too fast nor too slow, her voice clear yet comforting and confident, filled with a charm that drew people into her narrative.
“Actually, it’s all a misunderstanding. We also want to get along well with our roommates. To show our apology, we would like to compensate the original price for the items that fell. Is that okay, Auntie?”
