Another group consisted of her, the shy Chang Hui, and the cheerful Ding Guo. She and Chang Hui were no longer at Beining, while Ding Guo, although from Beining, came from a small county in Beining.
Zhou Wanwan formed a group of her own, sitting there quietly reading her book as if no one could disturb her.
The six people from the dormitory walked together, Liao Jinling and Fei Jiayi were bickering, but without any deep-seated hatred—probably just enjoyed bickering?
Ding Guo, true to her name, was like a pistachio, always having something to talk about with everyone, and with her around, the atmosphere could never turn awkward.
"This dish is really delicious."
Ding Guo said with a satisfied face, "Even better than the dishes at my home."
"Looks like we’re in for a treat," Xu Nianhua smiled and chimed in. The dishes weren’t as bad as imagined, but they certainly weren’t delicious either.
However, Xu Nianhua thought that being picky about food when living away from home would only starve herself to death.
Liao Jinling looked at the food on her plate and muttered, "There’s not even any meat, how is this delicious?"
"Don’t you have lots of snacks? Why eat this when you can just snack on those?" Fei Jiayi swallowed a bite and instinctively picked a fight with Liao Jinling.
"Those are for after meals," Liao Jinling thought, looking at Fei Jiayi who was eating nonchalantly: It doesn’t look tasty, how can she be so indifferent to it?
"Be careful, or you’ll end up gaining more weight," Fei Jiayi warned with a smiling eyes.
In their dormitory of six, Liao Jinling wasn’t actually fat; umm, it was more that Xu Nianhua and the others were too petite, which made Liao Jinling appear larger.
"Fei Jiayi, if you don’t talk, nobody will think you’re mute!"
Liao Jinling was infuriated. Where was she fat?
She was just a bit taller and more solid than the others, right?
"I didn’t say you were fat, I just said to watch out for gaining weight," Fei Jiayi protested innocently, blink blink, her eyes reflecting such grievance as if she were deeply wronged.
"Jiayi, Jinling, stop bickering. We’re all from the same dormitory. We need to be united and not be a laughing stock,"
The upbeat Ding Guo, seeing them about to start arguing again, immediately said, "Let me tell you a joke then."
With Ding Guo’s accent tinged with a local dialect, combined with her naturally comical expression, she could always make everyone in the dormitory laugh out loud, even Zhou Wanwan laughed along.
Ding Guo, truly the dormitory’s pistachio.
The beds in the dormitory were small; Xu Nianhua could only turn over half a body to each side after lying down, but she felt exceptionally happy.
Starting today, she was a student at Beining University.
She was no longer the person from her past life who missed out on college and could only be a primary school teacher. She no longer had to feel regret for not having a university education.
She was steadily striving towards her dreams.
Dad, Mom, big brother, second brother, we’ll definitely live a very happy, very happy life.
With beautiful wishes and thoughts, Xu Nianhua drifted into sweet slumber.
"Shall we go shopping today?"
It was the first weekend after a week of classes, and Pei Yining was extremely looking forward to it. Back in Gaoliang County, she always hoped to drag Xu Nianhua around shopping once she arrived.
"Not today, my second brother will definitely come looking for me," Xu Nianhua shrugged helplessly and said, "Next time we have a holiday, I’ll go with you."
"Alright then," Pei Yining’s face fell, but thinking of how concerned Xu Nian’an was about Xu Nianhua, she knew he wouldn’t rest easy without checking on her.
