Rebirth of the Millennial: Getting Rich After Parents Get Laid Off

Chapter 200 Roommates (Part Two)

This series of actions made Li Xunjin and Li Shuyun both frown.

Clearly, they didn't expect their child to have such a self-centered roommate.

In Chaozhou, every household places great importance on manners and etiquette, although there are exceptions for some families.

However, Li Xunjin and his wife did not want their child to encounter such a special situation.

Shen Qingqing, however, had an indifferent expression. In her previous life, when she was in college, she also had roommates who clung to each other. She had been alone for two years and was already used to it.

Wu Fangyi didn't care at all. When she lived in the Experimental Middle School, there were ten people in one dormitory, and they were from different classes. So, it was hard to imagine how the people in the dormitory got along.

Looking at Yao Run and Chen Siping, Yao Run still had a cool expression, but his eyes were now a little cold as he looked at the two of them.

On the contrary, Chen Siping looked at the two people with embarrassment and restraint, her whole body exuding an air of helplessness.

Seeing that the two seemed oblivious to the silent atmosphere in the dormitory, Shen Qingqing broke the silence first, "Let's go eat, aren't you hungry?"

That's just Shen Qingqing's personality; she always retaliates in kind.

The two ignored them, and Shen Qingqing wouldn't give them a second glance either.

"Come on, come on, it's your uncle's treat today!" Li Xunjin said cheerfully.

The cafeteria wasn't too far from the dormitory, about a seven or eight-minute walk. Although I didn't know the way, there was a large group of people who did, so I just followed them.

The cafeteria is also a fairly large place, with a total of seventeen windows for ordering food.

Moreover, every window is open. The first ten windows are for fast food, while the last seven are for businesses, providing students with more options.

Shen Qingqing wasn't in a hurry to eat. She walked from window to window, looking around as she thought about what she wanted to eat.

Since quite a few people reported returning to school today, everyone is familiarizing themselves with what the school's food tastes like.

Like Shen Qingqing, many people walked back and forth in front of the seventeen windows.

After Li Xunjin and Li Shuyun quickly ordered two dishes each at the fast food window, they brought them over to find Shen Qingqing.

Wu Fangyi and Yao Run made their decision quickly, and their dishes were surprisingly the same: one meat dish, one vegetable dish, and rice.

Shen Qingqing and Chen Siping were still hesitating when, after completing the second lap, Shen Qingqing decided first what she wanted to eat.

Shen Qingqing usually avoids eating if she can, so she opted for a bowl of noodles for lunch.

Chen Siping was simply suffering from her indecisiveness.

In the end, Yao Run simply made the decision for her.

After taking the first bite, Shen Qingqing's mentality began to crumble.

Even though this bowl only costs twelve yuan, it shouldn't be this bad, right?

It had a mushy texture, was incredibly salty, and even the soup was covered in a greasy layer.

Shen Qingqing was on the verge of despair.

However, her expression of not being able to eat was so obvious that Li Xunjin could tell at a glance, so he swapped his meal with Shen Qingqing's. Ever since Li Xunjin started his own company and made money, he really hadn't eaten anything unpalatable. But even when his family was poor when they were young, Li Yuxing's cooking skills were such that the two children wouldn't have to eat anything bad.

But this bowl of noodles is really awful.

Seeing that her uncle was also frowning as he ate, Shen Qingqing quietly moved her plate closer to him: "Uncle, let's eat this together, we can skip that."

After a difficult meal, Li Xunjin and Li Shuyun gave Shen Qingqing a few words of advice and then set off for home.

Shen Qingqing and her three friends saw the car off at the school gate. After watching the car disappear from sight, they slowly walked back to their dormitory.

"Do we have a class schedule?" Shen Qingqing asked slowly, breaking the silence between them.

Wu Fangyi thought for a moment: "It seems so. After I registered, I saw a table next to me that looked like they were handing out something, so I went over to take a look. Someone there asked me which class I was in, so I told her my class and then they gave me a timetable."

"I also got you a class schedule for Rocket Class 1. It's in the dorm, I'll get it for you later."

Shen Qingqing was overjoyed and hugged Wu Fangyi's arm affectionately: "Sister Fangyi~ I knew you were the best to me~"

Wu Fangyi pretended to shudder twice, "Ugh, how disgusting!"

Shen Qingqing played along, but immediately jumped up in dissatisfaction.

The playful banter between the two dispelled Yao Run and Chen Siping's initial restraint and silence, and they both burst into laughter.

After their playful banter, Yao Run didn't mince words and asked directly, "What about those two in the dorm?"

Shen Qingqing shrugged. "We'll treat them the same way they treat us."

Wu Fangyi didn't say anything, but she was clearly on Shen Qingqing's side.

Yao Run glanced at Shen Qingqing with great agreement, but she also had to consider Chen Siping's feelings.

She and Chen Siping grew up together. Chen Siping was the youngest daughter in the family, with a younger brother. Some of her older sisters were already married, while others were already working, and they all received some attention in the family.

However, as the youngest daughter, Chen Siping was still at the point of having to ask for money. She couldn't compete with her younger brother and was increasingly neglected by her parents, receiving almost no attention. But when she did something wrong, she would receive severe criticism from her parents.

They don't hit children, but they abuse them in other ways.

This led to Chen Siping's hesitant, fearful, and quiet, reserved, and unassuming demeanor.

Now that she has a roommate like this, you can imagine how uncomfortable she must be, given her personality.

As expected, when Shen Qingqing, Wu Fangyi, and Yao Run looked at Chen Siping, they saw a very obvious hesitation on her face.

“It’s alright. If Siping doesn’t dare, then so be it. You can treat them however you want. But if they do anything that makes you sad, I hope you won’t mind, because we can’t keep comforting you every time.” Shen Qingqing said frankly.

Shen Qingqing didn't really want herself and Wu Fangyi to become like Yao Run. She could see very clearly that Yao Run had always been Chen Siping's protector, perhaps because they had some special relationship.

However, she and Wu Fangyi have no such obligation.

Chen Siping bit her lower lip, her face showing that familiar conflicted expression. Only after Yao Run put his arm around her and shook her shoulder did she reluctantly nod with a frown.

See you tomorrow night~
