Chapter 263: Chapter 263

The next day, Ye Ling was woken up by the sounds of talking and laughing in the dormitory. When she looked up, she saw someone had already moved into the bed beneath hers—the same person who arrived in the middle of the night. The boy had a big head and big eyes, thick lips, a medium build, and lively eyes that made him look clever.

"Hello, I’m Yang Hui, Beijing person." Ye Ling was observing the other person when he smiled and extended a hand to introduce himself.

A Beijing person, a girl from the Capital.

No wonder she carries herself so confidently.

Ye Ling stretched out her hand, and their hands grasped each other. "I’m Ye Ling, from Shenyang."

"Ah, Shenyang, huh? You’re from the North too?" Yang Hui didn’t look down on Ye Ling just because she came from a small place.

This made Ye Ling feel that Yang Hui was quite nice, "Yes."

Yang Hui laughed, "I really envy you all. Ma Yue and Dong Minghui also come from the North. Actually, most of the people who come to our school are from the North."

While speaking, Yang Hui gestured with a pout toward the two people on the other side of the room, and Ye Ling realized that Ma Yue and Dong Minghui were referring to them.

Ye Ling smiled, "Here, there’s no difference with you all, except the weather is a bit colder."

Starting anew at a new school, Ye Ling also wanted to integrate into the life around her.

Yang Hui liked excitement, "Hey, since we’re all awake, let’s wash up and eat. I’m curious what our school’s cafeteria is like."

Dong Minghui across the room smiled dismissively, "What could it be like? Soon you’ll find it boring."

Although they woke up early, Dong Minghui and the others didn’t get up; they were still lying in bed.

Yang Hui laughed, "You all don’t know, but I really envy the life of university students."

Yang Hui didn’t get angry at Dong Minghui’s disdain, which could show two things: either Yang Hui genuinely had a good nature, or they were very calculating.

Ye Ling didn’t plan to get too close, so she didn’t care what Yang Hui was really like. Besides, she was used to living alone, so after waking up, Ye Ling got up to dress. Since she was already in school, she didn’t change into her regular clothes, just swapped into what she received yesterday. Since the weather was still hot, she changed into a white cotton short-sleeved shirt and gray shortsleeved attire. Her bottom half was a black skirt slightly above the knees, and she wore black leather shoes. Each item came in two sets, so one could be swapped when dirty. She also received a sports outfit with green rubber shoes.

There was a row of cabinets in the room, eight in total, where each person’s clothes could be stored inside.

Ye Ling changed clothes, and Yang Hui also got up. Seeing that Ma Yue and Dong Minghui hadn’t gotten up yet, Yang Hui laughed, "You’re not going to breakfast?"

"No, we’ll start school tomorrow. Today we can move freely, so going out to eat is fine. What’s interesting about the cafeteria food," Ma Yue said, giving Ye Ling a glance.

Ma Yue wore a student hairstyle, with an oval face, having a seemingly honest appearance. Yet, once she spoke, all arrogance was revealed. Having been born in a compound, Ye Ling had met people like Song Mei before, so she wasn’t bothered.

Yang Hui was a bit embarrassed but still forced a smile, "You know I’m curious about university."

Seeing Ye Ling leave with a stiff face, Yang Hui followed her out, "Ye Ling, wait for me."

With no outsiders in the room, Dong Minghui asked Ma Yue above her, "What do you think Ye Ling’s background is?"

"Looking so skinny and dark, her family conditions can’t be good, so what kind of background could she have? Just an average family, from such a small place," Ma Yue turned over, "I dislike people like her the most, acting superior even though she doesn’t have a high background, pretending to be someone important. She doesn’t even see where we are, picking anyone here is the child of a wealthy family."

Dong Minghui flattered Ma Yue in agreement, "Isn’t that so, I also can’t stand people like her, acting more noble than us, you know my mouth isn’t sharp, I really couldn’t describe that feeling before. But now you’ve said it, it’s really clear."

Ma Yue wasn’t very pleased with Dong Minghui’s flattery, she sat up and said, "It’s not early, let’s get up too. Later, we’ll call grandpa and have him send the guards to take us to eat roast duck."

Dong Minghui sat up happily, "It’s good to be with you. That roast duck is really expensive."

Ma Yue was dismissive, "Listen to you talk, like you come from a small place, it’s not even anything good."

Dong Minghui didn’t mind as she started getting dressed, "I can’t compare to you. Your grandpa’s a doctorate-holder, my dad works as your grandpa’s assistant, if it weren’t for your grandpa’s connection, I wouldn’t be able to get in."

Ma Yue didn’t care, but there was a look of pride in her eyes.

By the time the two got up, Yang Hui and Ye Ling had already washed their faces and returned, holding basins as they chatted and laughed their way back into the room. Seeing Ma Yue up with Dong Minghui, Yang Hui laughed, "There’s a new student here, I just caught a glimpse, she’s a real beauty."

Dong Minghui sneaked a glance at Ma Yue and saw she wasn’t speaking, then responded, "We’re not at school for a beauty contest, what’s the use of being good-looking?"

Her words were quite biting. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ NoveI-Fire.ɴet

Yang Hui, with a kind personality, his expression froze for a moment but quickly laughed, "You’re right too. Ye Ling and I are going for breakfast, are you coming?"

Arriving last night in the middle of the night, Yang Hui couldn’t not be hungry.

"No, Ma Yue’s having Grandpa Ma send assistants to take us to eat roast duck later, you know Beijing’s roast duck is famous, even when foreign friends visit, it’s a must-go place," Dong Minghui said proudly.

Yang Hui curled his lips into a smile, "Yeah, our Beijing roast duck is famous."

Being a Beijing person, Dong Minghui’s words were meant for Ye Ling, the only one not from Beijing. Of course, Yang Hui could hear that. Seeing Ye Ling silent, Yang Hui thought Ye Ling was pitiful and called Ye Ling to come for breakfast.

When they got outside and headed toward the cafeteria, Yang Hui glanced at Ye Ling to ensure she wasn’t upset and then tried to console her, "Actually, roast duck isn’t really anything special, have you had braised duck? This roast duck is just that, but roasted."

Knowing Yang Hui was comforting her, Ye Ling smiled gratefully at her and was about to speak when Zhao Guodong and his group came out from the cafeteria after eating, and seeing Ye Ling from afar, they called out.

Yang Hui also looked over, seeing a group of new students like them coming, among them, the best-looking laughed heartily, "Ye Ling, is this a new student too?"

It was Zhao Guodong speaking, his eyes examining Yang Hui and finally resting on Ye Ling. In her fitted attire, Ye Ling really brought out some heroic spirit to herself. (To be continued.
