"All the tutorials online cost money, and completing the full high school course isn't a small expense. Of course, I'm not saying that people from Garbage Star have no money, don't misunderstand me. It's just that when I saw how skinny you are, the first thing that came to my mind was someone from Garbage Star." Xue Huiyi privately thought that Su Xiaocai was so short because of malnutrition from scrimping on food and clothing, if not from Garbage Star, then it must be from some other impoverished planet.
This is truly a beautiful misunderstanding.
Su Xiaocai touched her face. Although she was thin, she definitely belonged to the type that looks good without clothes on. Moreover, her skin was fair with a healthy blush, by all standards a healthy baby.
The back-and-forth conversation ended up going nowhere.
Xue Huiyi spoke flawlessly, saying she thought she was from Garbage Star, but then followed it up by saying she was too skinny and misunderstood, effectively denying what she just said.
Su Xiaocai found it pointless. Being confrontational would only make others see her as sharp-tongued and difficult to get along with.
Since Xue Huiyi had a bad first impression of her, there was no need to have lunch together; she was afraid it would turn into a heated argument.
Never one to wrong herself, Su Xiaocai stood up, "Alright, I think it'll be hard to enjoy this meal, I'm leaving first."
She had no particular interest in Xue Huiyi before, but she did look into the situation of the Xue Family.
The Xue Family produces high-end mecha and possesses power and wealth, while Su Xiaocai only had Daddy Su; it wouldn't be wise to confront Xue Huiyi directly.
Let it be natural.
With no grievances between them, if she couldn't stand someone, she just wouldn't associate with them, which was perfectly fine.
Xue Huiyi was stunned by her quick retreat, then a cold smile curled on her lips.
The cold smile quickly turned into a wry one, making it impossible for others to notice her change. "I was just being straightforward, I didn't expect my junior to care so much. I've heard that the more you care, the more it shows you value it, so why get upset over a couple of unintentional words?"
"Oh, you were unintentional, I took it to heart. If we don't hit it off, it's fine not to engage; there's no need to say one thing and mean another. I can't drink this cup of green tea." With that, Su Xiaocai turned and left without hesitation, leaving them with a carefree wave.
Xing Miao and Feng Wansha looked at each other, hurrying to follow their roommate. They didn't know Xue Huiyi, only aware that her family background was quite impressive.
They understood clearly. Considering the distance between them and Xue Huiyi, even in terms of future job prospects, they wouldn't work for the Xue Family. Xue Family employees experienced intense overtime, which most people couldn't endure.
But they'll have to coexist with their roommates for four years, so naturally, it made sense to first try to get along with a capable roommate.
"Sister Xue, are you alright?" Wu Qingqing had never seen this side of Xue Huiyi, just moments ago full of thorns, quite different from her usual gentle demeanor.
Xue Huiyi smiled indifferently and calmed down. Seeing Wu Qingqing was about to leave too, she grabbed her arm, "Qingqing, we haven't chatted for a long time, let's have a talk."
Wu Qingqing hesitated, as Su Xiaocai was to be her future mentor; she wondered what advantages Xue Huiyi could offer her.
Despite knowing Xue Huiyi for quite some time, aside from her good piloting skills, they had no interaction.
Xue Huiyi had too many friends around her. Previously, when she wanted to get to know her, Xue Huiyi had just smiled and gracefully passed by.
After weighing her options, Wu Qingqing apologized, straightforwardly saying, "Let's not chat, I need to head back too. I only just met the new roommate today; you won't get any information out of me."
Xue Huiyi: "..."
So annoying, is Su Xiaocai some kind of poison? Roommates she only met a day ago are already following her.
The blonde guy grinned, "I'm leaving too. I won't serve the young lady. Liu Xun, are you coming with me? Let's catch up with those female classmates and get to know them."
Liu Xun, always prioritizing women over friends, masked his longing with, "Ahem, it wouldn't be good to leave you alone, Hu Ping, I'll join you too."
The remaining roommate looked around, then decided against being the third wheel and hurried after Hu Ping too.
The place suddenly lost seven people, making the originally cramped snack bar seem empty.
Ji Heng rubbed his forehead. He really liked girls like Xue Huiyi; gentle, caring, smart, and witty, perfectly meeting all criteria big families had for choosing daughters-in-law.
Therefore, when his parents mentioned their cooperation with the Xue Family and Xue Huiyi being arranged as his fiancée, he was delighted.
But he couldn't handle Xue Huiyi being clingy like a gum and having a pathological possessiveness.
After spending so much time with her, he truly couldn't bear it any longer.
Xue Huiyi said pitifully, "Brother Ji, I'm sorry, did I cause conflict between you and your roommates?"
"No." He suppressed his irritation, saying, "Hu Ping and I are seniors. Initially, this was just to invite them out for a meal. Hu Ping is eccentric, let it be if he leaves. What do you want to eat? Order, and I'll head back to my brother's place afterward. He has something for me."
