In the dorm, Shi Yue saw the three of them return from outside, each holding a small cake, and her face couldn’t help but darken.
Even though they shared a dorm room, they never called her out with them.
It was clear they were deliberately isolating her.
Especially considering she had specifically invited them for her birthday.
Shi Yue’s gaze fixed on their hands as she pursed her lips and spoke, "Did you guys go out to eat together?"
"Yes, we..." Tian Yu had not finished speaking when she noticed Shi Yue’s eyes redden across, her tears almost ready to fall.
Tian Yu’s following words were scared back as she hastily asked, "Yueyue, are you okay?"
With reddened eyes and a wronged expression, Shi Yue said, "I know there was a bit of a misunderstanding with everyone last semester, I thought we had made up, but it turns out I was just wishful thinking. It seems you still don’t like me, not even calling me when you go out. I think I might as well ask the tutor to request a change of dormitory."
"No, Yueyue, we didn’t intentionally leave you out; it’s just that you weren’t in the dorm, so we didn’t call you," Tian Yu hurriedly explained.
"Yes, we don’t dislike you," Xue Xian chimed in as well.
If they really applied to change the dorm, the tutor would definitely ask for the reasons.
What if they were seen as isolating Shi Yue?
In college, nominations for excellence and party membership applications require the tutor’s recommendation. If it became known that their dormitory was discordant, bullying a roommate, their qualifications might very well be cancelled.
Only Ning An remained silent.
She knew someone liked to put on an act, but sorry, she had no desire to play along.
If she truly wanted to move dorms, she could just apply directly; there was no need to mention it all the time.
As for the tutor’s opinion, she didn’t care.
Shi Yue, "If you really considered me as a roommate, you should have called to ask me. You never even asked, how do you know for sure I wouldn’t have gone?"
In the end, they never even considered her; they just didn’t want to include her.
"Alright, this time it really was our fault, we shouldn’t have left you out. Next time we go out, we will make sure to ask you first," Tian Yu, not wanting to escalate the conflict, took the initiative to apologize.
Fortunately, Shi Yue knew when to let things go and didn’t continue to dwell on it, instead asking again, "So, you guys went out to eat together?"
She recognized the cake boxes; they were from a restaurant near the school.
The items inside were quite expensive, generally starting in the triple digits.
Per person, it was at least four to five hundred yuan.
Previously, a guy had wanted to take her out to eat there, but upon seeing the menu, his face had turned white, and he was too embarrassed to suggest another place.
In the end, he scraped together just enough to order two dishes, the cheapest ones on the menu.
She still remembered the look the waiter gave them at that time.
After leaving the restaurant, she had immediately blocked that guy.
She knew that Tian Yu and Xue Xian’s living expenses were about the same as hers, around two thousand yuan a month; they could not afford to eat somewhere that cost four to five hundred yuan per person, so it must have been Sheng Ning’an who treated them.
Thinking of Sheng Ning’an’s family background, her luxury car, and all her designer makeup and clothes.
If he could foster a good relationship...
Could she possibly borrow some of those items?
Unfortunately, her parents had managed to offend them right at the start of school.
Thinking about this, Shi Yue couldn’t help but inwardly blame her parents. Why fight over a parking spot? It was bad enough being foolish, but to drag her down too.
She must have been incredibly unlucky to be born into that family.
