Chapter 305: Chapter 305
Shi Yang and Qian Simeng’s dad went to the dorm teacher to register and collect the school’s distributed thermos flask and other daily necessities, while the three girls gathered to chat and bond.
Back in elementary school, Peng Hui was somewhat chubby and unremarkable, but now she’s slimmed down, her face is smaller, her eyes bigger, and even her nose is more prominent. Sitting next to Zhao Meimei, they present a delightful contrast, one carefree and radiating joy like spring, the other calm and elegantly standing.
These two sitting quietly facing each other are a beautiful sight, but as soon as they start talking, the charm shatters, and all the pleasantness disappears in an instant.
Peng Hui put her arm around Zhao Meimei’s shoulders, talking so closely she almost glued her face to Meimei’s: "Hey, Meimei, what’s up with you and your brother? Are you guys together?"
Zhao Meimei’s eyelids lifted slightly, and she giggled: "Yeah, we’ve been together for a long time."
Peng Hui gently nudged her with her elbow and teased: "You really made it happen. I remember back in elementary school, you were super attached to your brother. I didn’t expect you two to actually get together."
Qian Simeng asked incredulously: "Meimei, you call your boyfriend brother?"
Zhao Meimei said: "Got used to it since childhood; our families have been neighbors and always got along well."
Qian Simeng nodded, enviously saying: "Childhood sweethearts, how wonderful."
Zhao Meimei asked them: "What about you guys, any boyfriends?"
Qian Simeng glanced outside the door to make sure no one was there before whispering: "I dated someone in high school, but we broke up after graduation. My family doesn’t know."
Peng Hui puffed her chest and boldly declared: "I still have my first love, never gave anyone a chance. I plan to follow Meimei’s example, love one person for life, giving up the whole forest for one tree."
Just as Peng Hui finished speaking, her phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID and instantly glowed with a smile, answering the call in a soft voice: "Hello, oh, senior, is that so? Great, thank you so much!"
Peng Hui hung up the phone, her eyes sparkling and hearts practically bubbling: "Do you know who just called? A sophomore from our department; he helped me carry my luggage when I first arrived. He’s super handsome and well-built, and I heard he can play basketball. Wow! I’m totally smitten."
Zhao Meimei gave Peng Hui an exasperated look: "With that attitude, you’re still planning to give up the forest for one tree?"
Peng Hui giggled: "I haven’t found that one tree yet; I have to wander through the forest first to know which tree is truly mine!"
Peng Hui said: "That’s why I’m holding onto the belief of passing through a hundred forests and not getting caught, setting strict standards for myself."
Qian Simeng seriously commented on the side: "Peng Hui, you’re nothing like Meimei, you’re completely lovestruck!!"
After that day, Zhao Meimei, Peng Hui, and Qian Simeng became inseparable college friends, helping each other grab seats in class, having lunch together when Shi Yang stayed on campus. In the years that followed, the three remained the best of friends, witnessing each other’s joys and sorrows, romantic experiences, through countless seasons and passing years.
At the start of the semester, classmates have at least seen each other, though they’re not familiar, sticking to their circles, occasionally interacting with outsiders, often fellow townspeople or crushes.
Zhao Meimei and Peng Hui were quite popular, frequently pairing up like twins, often encountering confessions from male classmates.
Peng Hui would mischievously urge Zhao Meimei and Qian Simeng: "Come on, guess who’s after me or Meimei. Whoever guesses right gets a free lunch; the one getting confessed to treats!"
Zhao Meimei would hold back her laughter, coolly saying: "Hey, don’t include me, I’m already taken!"
Peng Hui would retort immediately: "Zhao Meimei, you’re so shameless! Mengmeng, let’s go together, keep away from her, I worry a gust of wind might blow that big face onto me, ruining my image!" Fınd the newest release on N0v3l.Fiɾe.net
Zhao Meimei got annoyed: "Oh, so maybe the confession is for you?"
Peng Hui smugly proclaimed: "Definitely for me, didn’t you see him staring at me the whole time!"
In the end, the guy came over to confess, his face flushed, saying to Qian Simeng: "Qian Simeng, hello, I... I want to be friends with you."
Because of this incident, Zhao Meimei teased Peng Hui for half a month.
Freshman year was not academically demanding, with several big classes and plenty of self-study time to freely allocate.
Zhao Meimei joined Peng Hui and Qian Simeng in touring all the malls around the school. Because Zhao Meimei rarely visited the dormitory, her relationship with the roommate who moved in last was distant and unremarked.
During this time, Peng Hui indeed followed her own declaration, maintaining immense enthusiasm for all handsome alumni, always accepting invitations, never forgetting to bring along third wheel number one Zhao Meimei and number two Qian Simeng. Thanks to the favors of the beauty Peng Hui, Zhao Meimei indulged in eating for half a month, causing her weight to skyrocket.
Zhao Meimei playfully poked the tiger’s butt, then quickly turned to flee but was caught by Shi Yang’s outstretched hand and pulled back, pinned underneath him, Shi Yang’s intense tiger eyes glaring at Zhao Meimei: "Why are you running?"
Zhao Meimei hurriedly grabbed Shi Yang’s wrist, pleading: "Brother, I was wrong!"
Shi Yang easily overpowered Zhao Meimei, pinning both arms down with one large hand, while the other hand started pulling down her pants.
Zhao Meimei whined: "Brother, have mercy! I have class tomorrow! If you go hard, my butt will hurt when I sit in class."
