A secret tryst? Her brotherly love triangle backfired.

Chapter 156 - If you're busy, don't make a fuss.

They were very lucky; although they weren't in the same room, they were assigned to dorm rooms on the fourth floor.

They are not far apart.

The four-person dormitory was complete once the other three members arrived.

However, the other three girls were accompanied by their parents.

The adults were busy washing and making the bed, chatting animatedly, when they saw Tang Wanwan and Qian Qinglei come in. All three families looked over, greeted them with friendly smiles, and introduced themselves.

The two girls are from J province in the south, and their names are Gao Siyao and Song Xiaotong.

The other one is from Beijing, named Shi Minjia.

Judging from their clothes and manner of speaking, their families seem to be quite well-off.

Unsurprisingly, this is a roommate I'll be living with for several years, so first impressions are very important.

Tang Wanwan politely removed her mask and introduced herself with a smile.

She wasn't wearing makeup, and her clothes were simple: a short-sleeved shirt, long pants, and a light jacket over them.

After a busy morning, a light sweat appeared on my face.

Even with such an ordinary outfit, the impact of her appearance cannot be concealed.

The dormitory fell silent for a moment, then everyone stared wide-eyed.

Gao Siyao exclaimed, "I knew you were a beauty as soon as you took off your mask, but I didn't expect you to be this good-looking."

Song Xiaotong continued, "Isn't it time for the title of 'Campus Belle of University A' to change hands?"

Shi Minjia was standing next to Tang Wanwan. After realizing what was happening, she suddenly leaned closer and exclaimed in surprise, "You didn't even put on makeup?"

Tang Wanwan's lips twitched slightly: "...No."

On such a hot day, she's running around at school, any makeup will smudge, so what's the point of wearing any?

We were all the same age, and we became familiar with each other after exchanging only a few words.

Gao Siyao smiled and exclaimed that with such a beautiful girl living in her dorm, there would definitely be plenty of milk tea and other drinks in the future.

The parents had a sharper eye. Seeing that Tang Wanwan spoke appropriately and remained calm and composed in the face of repeated praise, she stood there with an air of composure and humility, guessing that she must come from a good family.

The atmosphere became even more harmonious and joyful.

Qian Qinglei was used to this scene. She turned around and went back to her dormitory to get the cleaning tools.

She bought double the sheets, blankets, curtains, and other necessities for the accommodation yesterday, so she doesn't need to go downstairs to buy them again.

So, the other three roommates had their parents make their beds and fold blankets for them, while Tang Wanwan and Qian Qinglei had to tidy up on their own.

Neither of them had much experience with housework, but sweeping, wiping the bed, and making the bed were not difficult tasks.

Well done.

After her roommate Shi Minjia's mother finished her work, she came over to lend them a hand. Once everything was tidied up, it was lunchtime, and she smiled and said, "Let's have a meal together so the children can get to know each other better."

They even specially invited Qian Qinglei to come as well.

The other two roommates agreed, thinking that living in a group was not good and that they would not fit in. After asking Qian Qinglei, Tang Wanwan also nodded.

It was lunchtime, and the restaurants near the school were already packed with people.

Judging from the decor, the restaurant chosen by Shi Minjia's mother was quite upscale, and it was packed with people.

But she managed to reserve a private room.

“This is my uncle’s shop,” Shi Minjia said softly.

Tang Wanwan nodded knowingly, then sat down. Her phone vibrated slightly in her pocket.

It was sent by Gu Yunyi.

Four words.

—I'm next door.

Tang Wanwan was taken aback and didn't know how to reply when another message came in.

—After lunch, are you free this afternoon?

"What's wrong?" Seeing her holding a phone, Qian Qinglei asked in a low voice, "Is your boyfriend looking for you?"

"Wanwan has a boyfriend?" Shi Minjia asked in surprise. "Is he a high school classmate? Also in Beijing?"

Tang Wanwan quickly replied with a message, then put away her phone and said, "Yes, it's in Beijing."

It's normal to have a boyfriend.

Gao Siyao said, "A girl as pretty as Wanwan, I wonder who got lucky. Maybe he can treat us to a meal sometime."

Tang Wanwan smiled and agreed, "I definitely will if I have the chance."

In just one meal, the girls quickly overcame their initial awkwardness and became familiar with each other.

Upon learning that Tang Wanwan's parents were both university professors, Song Siyao's father smiled and said, "Prestigious universities are indeed different; the students are all exceptionally high-achieving. We are relieved to have you two as Siyao's roommates." The atmosphere at the dinner table was harmonious and pleasant.

The box next door.

Gu Yunyi stared at his phone.

Looking at the message from Tang Wanwan, it said, "I'm busy, don't make a sound."

Four words, he couldn't suppress them from his lips.

Is she trying to charm him?

Even if it wasn't, the tone was still very friendly.

Sure enough, their relationship was closer than that of ordinary friends.

After all, they've already kissed.

The resentment of being stood up and not seeing anyone for days was cured by just four words.

Gu Yunyi ate his meal without tasting it.

The others at the table exchanged glances when they saw his 'lovestruck' smile.

One of them asked in a low voice, "Girlfriend?"

Gu Yunyi put down his phone and said in a good mood, "I'm still pursuing her. Once she agrees, I'll be pregnant."

Anyway, he'll get a girlfriend sooner or later.

…………

Finished the meal.

I plan to go buy the things I need for military training this afternoon.

Gao Siyao and the others were all taken by their parents to buy things, and also to get familiar with the area around the school.

Since they were all families of three, Tang Wanwan politely declined the invitation from her colleagues.

After leaving the restaurant, I said goodbye to them.

In the blink of an eye, only Qian Qinglei and she were left.

Under the scorching sun, it was difficult to even hail a taxi. Just as I was wondering if I should go back to my dorm to rest for a while, Gu Yunyi appeared.

He came out of the restaurant, accompanied by several boys whom Tang Wanwan had never seen before. They were tall and slender with delicate features, and they looked very aloof.

There was no trace of her 'weakness and harmlessness' in front of her.

In Tang Wanwan's memory, he seemed to have a good temper when they first met.

Seeing him like this for the first time, I was a little stunned.

Gu Yunyi took out his phone from his pocket, about to make a call, when he noticed the gaze on him. He turned his head and looked over, his expression visibly brightening.

"Wanwan?"

He casually dismissed the few people around him, strode over, and asked with a smile, "Wait for me here?"

???

This is a huge misunderstanding.

Tang Wanwan said, "It's impossible to get a taxi."

She briefly explained her plans for the afternoon.

After many days, Gu Yunyi finally saw her. Even though he was implied to be delusional, he didn't mind at all and still looked at her with a smile.

"I'm free this afternoon, I'll take you there."

As he spoke, afraid she would run away, he shoved his phone into her hand before he could drive off with peace of mind.

Tang Wanwan held the phone that had been forcibly handed to her, staring blankly at his back.

"I told him he likes you."

Qian Qinglei, who witnessed the whole thing, spoke with obvious understanding.

She noticed it when they were in the ancient town.

Now, it's confirmed.

She asked curiously, "What happened between you two? Why does the atmosphere seem so strange?"

Tang Wanwan was speechless when asked the question.

She first glanced cautiously at her friend's expression, and seeing that her friend did not show any aversion to Fu Jingbai's brother, she felt a little relieved before whispering, "I'll tell you later."

Gu Yunyi had already driven the car over.

Tang Wanwan pulled Qian Qinglei into the back seat.
