It’s a pity that no matter how peaceful the days are, this Sunday night they have to return to school.
So after having dinner and taking medicine, the two of them just spent a little time being cozy while washing the dishes, and then took a taxi back to Beijing University.
On the way back, Han Mingyue finally told Zhen Yu that the reason he came back late today was because he accompanied Han Jiayang to meet a modeling agent.
Moreover, he not only mentioned this, he also confessed to Zhen Yu about contacting Brother Zhang from Hai City earlier.
"...The last call was made by Liu Yu on my behalf, so later I invited everyone to dinner... Because Jiayang had no time during the day, the agent specially made time to come over tonight. Overall, the impression is... he seems decent enough! As for contracts and such, we haven’t discussed them in detail yet. But he candidly said that he has high hopes for Jiayang’s appearance..."
Zhen Yu didn’t express any opinions on this, after all, it’s a matter of the Han Family, and as an outsider, she’s not suitable to get involved.
However, because of this, she suddenly remembered Bai Xue, who hadn’t made a sound all weekend!
So after returning to the dormitory, Zhen Yu proactively called Bai Xue.
"Hello, Xiao Yu."
Zhen Yu didn’t waste words with her! She went straight to the point: "What have you been busy with these two days?"
"Ah? I-I am just prepping for exams..."
Bai Xue’s voice sounded so guilty...
Zhen Yu thought Bai Xue’s guilt was due to the endorsement deal she mentioned to Lu Huai. Believing that friends shouldn’t hide things from each other, she directly asked: "Did Lu Huai tell you? About being the exclusive endorsor for my Hanfu brand!"
"Ah? That! He did mention it, but..."
——
After hearing Bai Xue’s plans, Zhen Yu was silent for a moment.
In the end, she chose to agree with Bai Xue with a mindset of mutual understanding.
"If that’s the case, then take this winter break to discuss it thoroughly with Aunt Fu! Anyway, there’s no rush on my side. The physical store won’t be ready until sometime after next spring."
"Okay! Thank you so much, Xiao Yu!"
This time, Bai Xue’s tone was no longer as low as before; she regained some of her original cheerfulness and innocence.
After hearing it, Zhen Yu vaguely felt something was off, but couldn’t pinpoint what...
Before she could think further, Bai Xue’s voice came through the phone again!
"It’s late, so I’ll hang up now! We have class tomorrow! Bye, Xiao Yu."
Beep beep——beep——
Zhen Yu listened to the busy tone on the phone and suddenly felt her mind going blank!
Really? Is the sun setting in the east today?
A theoretical academic slacker is actually worried about classes? I find that hard to believe!
The musical genius Bai Xue! She can pick up any instrument and master it shortly after touching it. She can understand music theory books on her own, yet finds other courses a headache, making her a beloved yet vexed presence among the faculty!
Even the ancient zither scores she created by converting modern sheet music for Su Xuan, she has lost count of how many of those she has composed!
But when it comes to theoretical courses like "Music History", she can never remember anything...
This person, who treats academic courses like the plague, now suddenly talks to Zhen Yu about ’attending class’. There is definitely something wrong here!
Bai Xue definitely has a problem!
——
Zhen Yu pondered deeply for a long time! But she just couldn’t figure out what went wrong!
In the end, she decided to seek help from her three roommates.
After all, isn’t there a saying? Three cobblers make a genius, err... three roommates are as good as one genius boy!
"Hey! Quiet down! I need to ask you guys something!"
Sun Shuhan: "What’s up?"
Shi Mei: "Hey! If there’s anything, just ask directly!"
You Qing: "Yeah, ask away! There’s nothing happening in our school that I don’t know about!"
Zhen Yu: "...It’s like this, I have a friend,"
As soon as she started talking, You Qing suddenly repeated, "Oh~~ you have a friend~!"
Zhen Yu: "..."
Oh my gosh! She really has a friend!
Shi Mei, being impatient, waited a few seconds and saw Zhen Yu didn’t continue, so she urged: "Zhen Yu, just say it!"
"Oh." Zhen Yu hurriedly reorganized her words and continued, "In what situations would a girl choose to hide something from her best friend?"
"There are plenty of reasons!" You Qing promptly replied, "Like family difficulties, unrequited crushes on boys, teacher’s criticisms, or parental discord. Most people probably wouldn’t share these with their best friends!"
Zhen Yu: "Uh... rule out the first two, and the last one too. I just want to know, do college professors still often criticize students? I’ve never seen it!"
——
"You’re such a good student! How could you have witnessed it! No teacher would criticize you!"
Before You Qing could even speak, Shi Mei started complaining first!
"A good student like you! With your ears shut to outside matters, and focused solely on your studies! I guess you haven’t even heard a few gossip stories about our class or department, have you?! Forget the distant ones, let’s talk about the class president and the league secretary dating, do you know about that?"
Zhen Yu shook her head, looking puzzled.
You Qing burst out laughing "Hahaha!"
"That’s like casting pearls before swine! And I bet you don’t know that the class president once secretly wooed you for several weeks either! If it weren’t for Han Mingyue always messing around...hehe!"
"When did this happen..." Zhen Yu was at a loss.
"When?" Shi Mei asked and answered herself: "When you were so absorbed in your books with your head down and eyes closed! I remember once, the four of us were sitting in front and behind the class president, and he purposely dropped something for you to pick up, but guess what! You just kicked it with your foot and ignored it! Hahaha... You must not have seen the class president’s face then. He went pale as a sheet..."
After Shi Mei finished speaking, You Qing also laughed uncontrollably on the bed! Even Sun Shuhan was chuckling softly!
Only Zhen Yu looked extremely awkward!
"We’re in college now! How can there still be such childish people... Wait, weren’t we talking about my friend’s issue? How did we end up on my life? Quickly, help me think..."
This situation is going off track, almost like the Leaning Tower of Pisa!
Right now, she truly admires her three roommates for going off on tangents like this!
