Chapter 1449: Chapter 1449
Just finished putting down the mattress, Tang Ming stared at a girl sitting cross-legged on the top bunk, "What are you doing here?"
Wu Xiaoxia looked at Tang Ming on the floor with a mix of confusion and surprise, "I’m a business administration major, also a student in this dormitory. Are you also a business administration student? Is this a mixed dorm?"
"No, I’m just helping out a friend."
Tang Ming pointed at Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli, giving Wu Xiaoxia a strange look.
Although Wu Xiaoxia was simply sitting cross-legged, Tang Ming could see that this woman definitely knew martial arts, and her skills were not weak. This sitting posture was a stance for practicing martial arts.
"Do you know each other?"
Li Xiaoli asked in surprise, looking at Wu Xiaoxia and shouted, "Hello, my name is Liu Mengting, and I’ll be living in this dormitory. What’s your name?"
"Xiaoli, does she look like Sister Xiaoyu to you?"
Liu Mengting eyed Wu Xiaoxia and asked Li Xiaoli in a low voice.
"She really does look a bit like her, no, very much like her."
Liu Mengting said in surprise.
"Hello everyone, my name is Wu Xiaoxia. We’ll be roommates from now on, please take care of me."
Wu Xiaoxia greeted everyone with a smile.
"Wu Xiaoxia? What’s your relation to Wu Xiaoyu?"
Li Xiaoli asked curiously.
"I don’t know Wu Xiaoyu. Are you all friends of Wu Xiaoyu? Why does everyone say I look like Wu Xiaoyu?"
Wu Xiaoxia frowned slightly, unconsciously touching her face. Could the resemblance be that strong?
"She just looks somewhat like Xiaoyu, not the same person."
Tang Ming shook his head, looked around the room with slight disappointment, "Why don’t you start organizing the dorm? Chen Cang and I need to go back and sort out our dorm as well, there’s still a mattress to move back."
"Okay, we’ll get in touch after we finish organizing."
Soon after Chen Cang and Tang Ming left the girls’ dormitory and started moving their things into their own dormitory.
"Damn it, after picking for so long, there’s still a problem."
Not long after Tang Ming and Chen Cang left, Liu Junmei started exclaiming sadly.
Li Xiaoli looked at Liu Junmei in confusion.
"My kettle is cracked."
Liu Junmei held up the kettle to the sunlight, almost in tears.
"No way, wasn’t it fine before?"
Liu Mengting was surprised, quickly stepped up to check, and found that there really was a crack in the kettle’s liner, which would be dangerous if used to store hot water.
"You’re really unlucky."
Liu Xiaoli sighed sympathetically and cautiously said, "I can’t let you use my stuff, otherwise I’ll get bad luck too. You should share with Meng Meng instead."
"It’s fine, it’s fine, we can share the kettle, I’m not afraid of any curse."
Liu Mengting responded generously.
"I guess that’s the only option for now."
Liu Junmei sighed helplessly, placing the thermos on the table.
"Are you three together?"
Wu Xiaoxia asked curiously, looking at the three girls.
"No, I went to high school with Meng Meng, and Xiaomei is a newly made friend."
Li Xiaoli quickly explained, after which all four of them introduced themselves, getting to know each other swiftly.
With the mattress settled, the girls began organizing their beds and daily items.
Just as the girls were nearly done, someone came in carrying a mattress into the dorm.
"Are there already this many people here?"
A glamorous girl, dressed in designer clothes and with light makeup, dragged her suitcase into the dormitory.
Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli had mostly finished tidying up and were lying on their beds playing with their phones, and Wu Xiaoxia was sitting meditating. None of them paid attention to the new arrival.
Liu Junmei wanted to greet the newcomer but was too busy with her own things to handle the mess.
"Hey, which bed are you planning to sleep on?"
After placing the mattress down, the two guys helping carry it asked.
"Darn it, I’m late already."
The girl frowned and finally looked at Liu Junmei, "I like cleanliness, and I don’t want to sleep on the lower bunk. Can you switch with me?"
"Huh? I’ve almost finished organizing, and it’s inconvenient for me to sleep on the lower bunk."
Liu Junmei looked at the new girl, troubled.
"Heh, it doesn’t look like you have much stuff, not even a mattress. Hurry down; I want your bed."
The girl sneered, taking out five hundred yuan from her LV wallet, "This is your transfer fee."
"Hey, who are you? So what if you’re rich?"
Li Xiaoli, initially not wanting to interfere, couldn’t stand the sight of the girl throwing money around and decided to speak up.
"Why are you butting in when I’m talking with her?"
The girl gave Li Xiaoli a disdainful look and then turned to Liu Junmei, "You arrived a bit earlier than me, and now you can make five hundred bucks. It’s a pretty good deal."
"Geez, do you really think being rich is everything?"
Li Xiaoli was annoyed, turned to Liu Junmei and shouted, "Xiaomei, don’t bother with her. It’s just money, it’s not like we don’t have it."
With that, Li Xiaoli pulled out five hundred cash from her wallet and dropped it on the table, "I’ll give you five hundred, so go do whatever and stop bothering Xiaomei."
"You, how dare you insult me?"
The girl’s face turned ugly upon hearing that.
"Those who insult others will be insulted in return. This is a school, and we’re all dorm mates here. You should expect this if you throw money at people."
Liu Mengting leaned against her pillow reading and casually chimed in.
"So you’re all in this together? Let’s see who has more money then."
The girl, infuriated yet amused, opened her wallet and took out another five hundred yuan, "Hey you, I’ll give you a thousand; let me have the bed."
"Oh wow, a money fight?"
Li Xiaoli laughed, sat upright, and again took out a thousand yuan, tossing it on the table, "I’ll give you fifteen hundred to shut up immediately, okay?"
"You jerk, trying to outspend me, I’ll crush you with my wealth, I..."
The girl furiously opened her wallet, ready to draw more money.
"This is a diamond card, with a minimum deposit of no less than five hundred thousand."
Displeased with the girl’s persistence, Liu Mengting drew a black credit card and gently placed it on the table.
The girl’s hand froze, not expecting to encounter such wealthy individuals.
Liu Junmei and Wu Xiaoxia were equally astonished, looking at Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli, especially Liu Junmei, who didn’t expect her new friends—who had just haggled over a few yuan at a street stall—to be this well-off.
"Alright, alright, we’ll all be classmates and roommates for the next four years; we must cherish each other."
Liu Junmei snapped back, quickly taking her things from the top bunk, "Classmate, you can have the top bunk if you really want, I won’t charge you."
"Xiaomei, you’re just too kind-hearted."
Seeing Liu Junmei concede the bed just like that, Li Xiaoli complained discontentedly.
