In the end, Ning Qing still didn’t say those words out loud.
Guo Tong covered her mouth.
According to Guo Tong’s observation, their Eldest Miss Wei and the dense, unperceptive Kong Ning from next door were only in a one-sided ambiguous phase.
If Ning Qing said that out loud, she might scare the person away first.
“Mmph, mmph, ” Ning Qing almost bit Guo Tong’s hand. Unfortunately, since she was held firmly, her sharp teeth could hardly unleash their power. She used her eyes to frantically hint at Guo Tong:
What are you doing?!
I didn’t do anything!
Just a moment before Kong Ning and her companion came up to them, Guo Tong warned her, “Don’t talk nonsense. Keep a clear view of the situation and follow my lead, got it?”
“Nod, nod, nod, ” Ning Qing nodded frantically.
Anyone who didn’t know better would think they were fighting a guerrilla war.
“Hello, mysterious Kong Ning from the neighboring school. I’m Guo Tong, Wei Mu’s roommate.”
Guo Tong greeted Kong Ning, who had already arrived in front of them.
“Hello, mysterious Kong Ning from the neighboring school. I’m Ning Qing, Wei Mu’s roommate.”
“Huh?” Kong Ning looked confused and glanced at Wei Mu.
Was there some hidden reason? Were they talking bad about her? After all, she herself had frequently badmouthed Wei Mu in her own dorm.
“They weren’t talking about you, don’t worry.” Wei Mu understood the look in Kong Ning’s eyes and patted her hand.
“Pfft, ” Jiang Youyang, who was leaning against a tree, couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Guo Tong wasn’t doing much better either.
She walked over and said, “Hello, lucky Kong Ning, I’m Jiang Youyang.”
“Hello, everyone. We already met last time. I’m very glad to see you again. I am Kong Ning.” Kong Ning automatically ignored prefixes like “mysterious” and “lucky.”
Wei Mu must have badmouthing her!
She was in a good mood today; on this first day of making peace, she wouldn’t hold a grudge.
Friends were meant to understand each other, after all.
The next second, Kong Ning pinched Wei Mu’s hand.
Understanding was understanding, but a little pinch wouldn’t hurt.
“Stop messing around,” Wei Mu said to the restless girl.
“Hmph ╯^╰.” The girl continued her mischievous acts, and right as she was about to be disciplined, she hurriedly grabbed the hand that was about to discipline her.
“Guo Tong, do you think the two of them think everyone is nearsighted? Those little movements of theirs are pretty big bold.” On the way walking to the helicopter, Ning Qing spoke to Guo Tong. With Ning Qing lowering her head, the two of them looked exceptionally sneaky.
“You two have pretty bold courage yourselves~” Jiang Youyang spoke up right between the two who were lowering their heads.
“Jiang Youyang!” Ning Qing was startled.
When gossiping, could people please not interrupt?
Walking side by side in front of them, Kong Ning and her “new friend” Wei Mu turned their heads back.
Kong Ning felt like laughing a little. “Don’t you think the three of them look a lot like the three in our dorm?”
“A bit. For instance, Jiang Youyang and Shen Nanxi are both very reliable. But people are always different; you can only say that those paired up are together, and the single ones are also a group.” Wei Mu answered seriously.
“Am I not reliable?” Kong Ning had always been great at grasping the main point.
“You are the most reliable,” Wei Mu said.
“Well, of course.”
Sitting in the helicopter and looking down at Mount Wu’an, a bizarre thought suddenly popped into Kong Ning’s head.
Known each other for a long time, currently nearby.
Could that destined person… be Wei Mu?
The next second, Kong Ning chuckled at herself. What was she thinking?
They were friends.
Saying people were alike really had its reasons. For example, when the well-rested Le Xiu and Yu Lingbo joined Wei Mu’s dorm trio, they fit in seamlessly.
The five of them were happily playing a five-player team match online while soaking their feet.
“What are we having for dinner? I’m so hungry!” Le Xiu, who hadn’t eaten since finishing her rest this morning, spoke up, even though her mouth was currently stuffed with a small cake.
“Let’s go eat barbecue! I heard the barbecue at Mount Wu’an is super spicy, and there are fried rice noodles too. Go, go, go!” Ning Qing strongly endorsed the idea.
“Are you going?” Kong Ning asked Wei Mu beside her. She had been asking Wei Mu about everything she did all day long.
“I’m going.” Setting down the work on her phone, Wei Mu looked at Kong Ning and replied.
A bit dorkily cute, Kong Ning thought.
“Why do I feel like you’re the real busy person here?” Throughout this day, as well as the days before, whenever she spent time with Wei Mu, the messages on Wei Mu’s phone never stopped coming in.
“Making money. I founded a company a while ago and invested in a few projects along the way.” Wei Mu described her busy schedule very casually.
“You’re making money?” Kong Ning felt that hearing this sentence from Wei Mu’s mouth was exceptionally absurd.
Was Wei Mu really someone who cared about money? She was even willing to give away her family inheritance to that illegitimate child.
“Mm.” Wei Mu nodded.
I’m making money for you.
“I can testify. Our Eldest Miss, no, it should be CEO Wei, she’s super busy. Whenever she has free time, she goes out to work.” Without stopping her fingers or taking her eyes off her phone, Ning Qing took a quick moment to reply to Kong Ning.
“CEO Wei, keep it up! I’ll come seek refuge with you when I graduate!” Ning Qing continued.
“Add one,” Guo Tong said.
“Add two,” Jiang Youyang raised her head and said seriously.
Following Wei Mu really could make money.
“Can I add three?” Le Xiu said with a smile.
“Add… four?” Yu Lingbo said uncertainly.
“If possible, I wouldn’t mind if you all clock in to work in sync with me right now,” Wei Mu said with a smile, uttering terrifying words.
“No, I want to lie flat for a few more years. When I do my internship in a few years, please be sure to provide me with financial relief. I beg of you, CEO Wei.” Ning Qing cupped her hands in a respectful gesture, then immediately dove back into the battle.
The other four did the same.
“Are you short on money?” After listening to the conversation, Kong Ning summarized her answer.
“I suppose I am.” Wei Mu mentally calculated for a moment; it wasn’t enough yet.
She needed to save up a lot, a lot of money.
Kong Ning frowned. Had Wei Mu encountered some embarrassing difficulty? “How about I lend you some? How much do you need?”
“Is all of it okay?”
Kong Ning gritted her teeth. “That… works too, I guess.”
Wei Mu laughed heartily. “Silly, I was joking.”
“Phew, thank goodness.” Kong Ning patted her chest in relief; her little private vault was almost gone.
Overall, this trip was perfect, except for one thing, Shen Nanxi discovered that out of the two dorms’ joint social gathering, she was the only one left behind.
What is it like when the entire dorm gains three mutual friends, and I’m the only one who doesn’t know them?
Fortunately, her royalties had arrived recently, so she bought herself an ergonomic chair. Gliding around in the chair, she felt that writing ten thousand words a day was all worth it.
Bang, The door bumped against the back of the chair.
“Little Shen, are you spinning in your chair again?” Kong Ning opened the door, holding the meal she had brought back for Shen Nanxi.
“Thank you, Master Kong.” Shen Nanxi took the food and scurried off to her seat.
“Lazy! Unlike me, who is just this diligent,” Kong Ning lamented.
“Tsk,” Shen Nanxi replied.
Who was the person “lying motionless like a log” a while ago? For the sake of the “relief food,” Shen Nanxi quietly watched Kong Ning show off.
“By the way, Le Xiu and the other girl went out to have dinner with the Peking University dorm again today. Why didn’t you go?” Shen Nanxi looked at Kong Ning strangely.
Le Xiu and Yu Lingbo had tried to drag Shen Nanxi along, but Shen Nanxi still needed time to maintain her typing speed to hit ten thousand words a day. To complete her quota, she spent all her free time working on her backlog.
However, it was very suspicious that Kong Ning didn’t go even once.
“I have things to do.” Kong Ning sat on her chair, her eyes avoiding Shen Nanxi’s gaze.
“For the sake of today’s dinner, I’ll reluctantly say I believe you.” Shen Nanxi poked a piece of lemon chicken into her mouth, followed immediately by a piece of braised pork belly. With food filling her mouth, she instantly felt satisfied.
“And if it weren’t for the sake of dinner?”
“I wouldn’t believe you,” Shen Nanxi said after taking a mouthful of rice.
Kong Ning sighed; she didn’t want it to be like this either.
Having things to do was fake, but being a coward was real.
Kong Ning had turned into a coward once again. She still felt that being friends with Wei Mu was just too weird.
Friends could sleep together, but why did they have to keep cuddling?
God knows how terrified she was when she woke up the morning after having late-night snacks and found Wei Mu waking up in her arms, they clearly had a twin-bed room!
That night, Jiang Youyang wanted to sleep alone, so the four of them paired up in twos, and in both pairs, there was one person who said she was afraid of sleeping alone.
As for Kong Ning and Wei Mu…
Wei Mu said she was afraid of the dark.
She was acting strange.
Kong Ning knew she herself was acting strange.
Being friends with her archenemy was a huge shock to her heart. She and Wei Mu had better be friends who saw each other less often.
Seeing each other less was good for health.
