Chapter 314: 283 Miss, Show Off (1 update)_1

Two young girls who hadn’t seen each other in two years after graduation were suddenly reunited. Tang Su and Liu Ting were both very happy, holding each other’s hands and jumping for joy next to the fountain.

They had been roommates back in the day, and their relationship over those four years had been quite good. Although they hadn’t met up for meals in the past two years, they would still greet each other during holidays and festivals.

Tang Su was able to sweep away the gloom from home.

Before long, the other two girls also drove over, both working at the same company.

When the four girls met, they exchanged pleasantries, and as mealtime approached, Liu Ting suggested they go to the third floor of Wanxiang Plaza’s shopping center for a dry pot meal, which everyone agreed to.

"You two came all the way from other places, so today, Xiaoxiao and I will treat," Ke Jie said to Liu Ting and Tang Su.

Liu Ting didn’t mind, as she came to Beijing now and then. Today they were treating, and she could treat them back another time.

But Tang Su couldn’t agree, as she wasn’t sure when she would be able to gather with them again.

After all, their friendship was pretty solid. During the four years of living together, when problems arose, they communicated directly.

"Let’s go Dutch today," Tang Su said straightforwardly.

"Okay, as you wish," the three girls weren’t fussy about going Dutch, focusing on having a good time.

Tang Su smiled, and the four went to the dry pot restaurant. To try a variety of flavors, each girl ordered a small pot—including dry pot shrimp, dry pot ribs, dry pot bullfrog, and one dry pot rabbit.

The selection was diverse, with no vegetables.

Then each had a bottle of hot soy milk.

While waiting for the food, Liu Ting, who had been the dormitory leader for four years, talked about the afternoon’s plans, "This afternoon, let’s go to campus to take pictures and post them on social media."

"Sure," both Ke Jie and Chen Xiaoxiao responded.

Tang Su had no objections either.

Ke Jie said with a laugh, "Come on, Liu Ting, have you been working so hard for half a year just to get us together for social media?"

"Yes, I’ve always been envious of other dormitories’ group photos. Don’t you feel the same?" Liu Ting was a very down-to-earth girl.

"I thought you wanted to remember our roommate bond, but it turns out, you’re all about showing off," Chen Xiaoxiao said, laughing while disinfecting her chopsticks.

"Missing each other and showing off don’t conflict, do they? Right, Tang Su?"

"I’m fine with either."

"Tang Su is the most easy-going. Wasn’t it always like this before? Every time we had a meal or a group event, when did she ever oppose us?"

Tang Su’s reputation over those four years was very good.

The dry pots arrived quickly. The servers brought them over one after another, and the one who brought the rabbit was enthusiastic, "Isn’t it too much for you four girls to eat all these dry pots?"

"No worries, we’ll take our time. We’ll definitely finish the meat—needn’t fret about the veggies if we can’t finish them."

"Well then, enjoy your meal."

"Thank you," they replied.

After the server left, the four chatted while they ate.

They talked about their school days endlessly, and after finishing those stories, they discussed life after graduation.

Finally, Liu Ting asked a personal question, "So tell me, are you currently single or in a relationship?"

"We’re both single," Chen Xiaoxiao and Ke Jie raised their hands and said in unison.

Then, all three turned to Tang Su, "I’m in one."

Until the night before, Tang Su had firmly believed that she and Lu Han would definitely get married by next year, or even in the first half of the year.

However, it now seemed that their relationship was fraught with difficulties.

"So when are you getting married?" Liu Ting was very curious, as it was always fair to pry a little into a roommate’s gossip.

"I really don’t know yet, we’ll see when our relationship is more stable," Tang Su truly didn’t know.

"Exactly, take more time to observe and understand each other."

"What about the two of you? Ke Jie, didn’t you get a boyfriend in your junior year? Are you not together anymore?"

"Dorm leader, it’s breakup season after graduation, have you forgotten?"

Liu Ting laughed, "I know, but I thought you two had a good relationship, I even thought you would definitely get married back then."

"No, his parents wanted him to return to his hometown, and my parents didn’t want me to marry far away. There was no way around it, we had to break up. He didn’t want to disappoint his parents, and I didn’t want to make mine feel like they had raised a daughter for nothing."

Ke Jie had already moved on from the heartbreak of that time. During university, they were very affectionate with each other, but the reality of post-graduation struck.

After all, as a Beijing girl, why should she have to compromise and move to a man’s lesser-known place?

It’s not like Beijing is running out of men.

She had thought it through clearly. Mainly because she had seen other girls who had moved far for marriage end regretting it deeply, trapped in their marriages by their children. She wasn’t stupid; why make her and her parents suffer?

She was an only child, after all.

"So clear-headed," praised Liu Ting and Chen Xiaoxiao.

"Thanks, come on, I propose a toast to our first reunion after graduation," Ke Jie raised her teacup in front of her.

With a clink, the four cups came together.

Liu Ting even asked a waiter to take several photos of them.

Latter, in pursuit of the perfect WeChat Moments post, under Liu Ting’s initiative, the other three also took many photos together.

"I’ll send these to our roommate group once I’ve edited them a bit," said Liu Ting with a smile.

"Okay."

During college, in addition to her major, she had taken elective courses in Western-style pastries and photography.

Tang Su also chose Western-style pastries, with her other elective being drawing.

Ke Jie and Chen Xiaoxiao had the same two electives, both minor foreign language courses.

After lunch, Liu Ting went to pay the bill. After the discount, it came to 328, 82 per person. Liu Ting told them to just give eighty, but Tang Su and the others all transferred 82.

"Why are you being so formal?" Looking at the transfers in the WeChat group, Liu Ting was collecting the money while speaking.

"It’s the exact amount, isn’t it? It’s not like we can’t spare it."

"Yes, yes, let’s do it your way."

"Okay, shall we drive to the university now? Everyone brought their IDs, right? The guards at the gate will probably ask us to register." Liu Ting, being the dorm leader and the oldest among the four, would often remind them to attend classes on time and complete assignments during those four years, like an elder sister figure.

The car was driven by Ke Jie, a red BMW.

Chen Xiaoxiao sat in the passenger seat. She had her own car, but since their destination was the same today, she rode with Ke Jie.

Later, she would have to take a taxi back to work to get her own car.

It’s a half-hour drive from Wanxiang Plaza to Beijing University.

After registering at the entrance and successfully entering the university, they parked the car. Upon getting out of the car, Liu Ting ran over to link arms with Tang Su, while Ke Jie linked arms with Chen Xiaoxiao, and the four women turned the corner, walking towards the teaching building behind the administrative building.

They had left after eating lunch, around two o’clock. By the time they arrived at the university, it was about half past two. It wasn’t the weekend, and college classes had already begun.

The first building near the administrative building housed the Art Department.

Song Mingxiu came out of his office to go to the restroom and, glancing downstairs, he spotted Tang Su at once.

He wanted to greet Tang Su, but the distance was too far. After thinking for a moment, he reached into his pocket, took out his cellphone, opened WeChat, and directly clicked on Lu Han’s profile.
