Is my roommate a caged bird? I'm stealing her away.
Chapter 80 Gathering
Zhou Suisui thought Jin Lulu was too bitchy, but in the blink of an eye she realized that Jin Lulu's bitchiness could go even further.
Lights out was approaching. Jin Lulu rushed back to her dorm before the dorm supervisor closed the door. As soon as she entered, Liu Weiwei questioned her, with Tang Tang adding from the side as the victim.
Zhou Suisui sat on the bed, doing her job as an assistant, occasionally saying "yes" or "uh-huh." In short, she was responsible for observing the drama unfold.
During this confrontation, Liu Weiwei glanced at Zhou Suisui. She knew in her heart that she had no expectation that Zhou Suisui would help her at all.
Finally, Jin Lulu admitted that she was in a relationship with that boy, but she kept emphasizing that their relationship started after Tang Tang.
For the next two weeks, Jin Lulu seemed to have opened up, and she and that boy openly showed their affection in the classroom, which made Tang Tang very sad.
Zhou Suisui then took a closer look at the man. He wasn't handsome, and he had dyed his hair blonde. This color is very selective and made his already ordinary appearance look even uglier.
Zhou Suisui didn't like him much because he always arrived in the classroom either right before or after class started. And the noise he made when he sat down or stood up was always particularly loud.
Moreover, he always liked to wear a hat into the classroom, and during class he would wear the hat and sleep on the desk.
Zhou Suisui mentally nicknamed him "Huolala" (meaning "lazy person"), thinking he was too damn pretentious, even more so than Lalamove (another famous Chinese livestreamer).
Perhaps it's true that good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast. News of Tang Tang and their love triangle spread, and Tang Tang began to fall silent.
It wasn't until a classmate revealed why Lalamove said Tangtang was disgusting that everyone realized just how much of a jerk Jin Lulu could be.
She spent all her time telling Lalamove how Tangtang had a crush on him, how Tangtang was like a persistent leech, and said a lot of things that were half true and half false...
The recollection paused, and a young man raised his glass and exclaimed, "Jiaqi, Mr. Li has truly been incredibly kind to you! This glass is a toast to you both, may you have a long and happy marriage!"
Zhou Suisui remembered him; this boy was a sycophant in her old class who always tattled on them.
Because of my dark complexion, they called me "African." I've forgotten my real name, I only remember my surname is Li.
A perfect blush rose on Wang Jiaqi's face as she gave the African a reproachful look: "Don't talk nonsense." But she gently took Mr. Li's arm.
Mr. Li smiled and raised his glass generously, saying, "Thank you everyone. Jiaqi is a bit shy, so I'll drink for her." He then downed the drink in one gulp, drawing cheers from the crowd.
The atmosphere seemed warm and harmonious. But Zhou Suisui noticed that some boys, under the guise of drinking, lingered their gazes on Wang Jiaqi for a few extra seconds.
Several girls exchanged glances, their lips twitching almost imperceptibly. Zhou Suisui understood; those girls always hung out together—they were a small group.
She has always had mixed feelings about cliques among girls. Recently, she's become close friends with Liu Weiwei.
She then learned that before the Tangtang incident broke out in the dormitory, Jin Lulu had already created a small group chat with Liu Weiwei and Tangtang, specifically for teasing Zhou Suisui.
However, what she didn't tell Liu Weiwei was that she also had a group chat with Jin Lulu and Tang Tang at that time.
After a few rounds of drinks, the conversation gradually shifted from reminiscing about the past to current matters such as work, housing prices, and investments. Wang Jiaqi naturally became the focus of attention.
"Jiaqi is the first one in our class to settle down. She has a house and a car, and her boyfriend is so outstanding."
A girl wearing glasses, who used to have a good relationship with Wang Jiaqi, said with a smile, her tone full of admiration.
Wang Jiaqi picked up a tissue and wiped her mouth with an elegant gesture. "Nothing much, I was just lucky to meet the right person."
Her voice was gentle as she glanced over her lower abdomen. "Actually, none of that matters. What's most important is that two people treat each other sincerely when they're together."
As she spoke, her fingers unconsciously touched her flat stomach, and the surroundings fell silent for a moment.
President Li immediately chimed in, his tone indulgent: "Yes, Jiaqi is right. Everything else is secondary; people are the most important."
He paused, then casually mentioned, "She hasn't had a good appetite lately and gets tired easily, so I thought I'd bring her out to meet up with her friends and change her mood."
The weight of information in those words made the atmosphere even more delicate. Several quick-thinking classmates already showed expressions of surprise.
Liu Weiwei gently kicked Zhou Suisui under the table, her eyes clearly indicating something juicy.
Just then, the door to the private room was suddenly pushed open.
Jin Lulu stood at the door, her face pale, wearing a beige dress. Beside her stood a handsome man.
But Zhou Suisui could tell at a glance that they had no money. Perhaps she'd been seeing too many rich people lately.
The lively conversation seemed to pause. All eyes turned to the doorway.
Wang Jiaqi's smile remained unchanged, even becoming sweeter. She put down her chopsticks, her clear voice breaking the silence:
"Lulu? Why are you so late? We've almost finished eating." Her tone was familiar, with a hint of reproach, making it impossible to tell that the two had just had a fight.
Wow, her acting is so good! Zhou Suisui admired her in her heart, then glanced at Liu Weiwei who was taking out her phone and filming.
Wow! Watching the show wasn't enough; they're planning to repeatedly humiliate him afterward.
Jin Lulu pursed her lips, pulled the man beside her in, and forced a smile: "There was a bit of traffic on the way. Sorry everyone."
Zhou Suisui didn't understand why Jin Lulu had come over when this was clearly an insult.
"It's alright, it's alright, it's good that you're here!" The class monitor quickly smoothed things over and asked the waiter to add a seat.
They were seated near the door, some distance from the main table. Jin Lulu and her boyfriend sat down in silence.
The conversation seemed to be back on track, but there were always a few eyes that seemed to be lingering between Wang Jiaqi and Jin Lulu, intentionally or unintentionally.
After a while, Wang Jiaqi picked up the juice in front of her and gestured towards Jin Lulu, her voice neither too loud nor too soft:
"Lulu, how have you been lately? You look a little tired, you should get more rest."
Jin Lulu looked up at Wang Jiaqi, her eyes filled with complex emotions. "It's alright," she said dryly.
"That's good." Wang Jiaqi's smile remained unchanged, and her fingers gently brushed across her lower abdomen again.
"I've been having some health issues lately, and I can't help but worry about others. By the way, this is..." She looked at the man next to Jin Lulu.
"My boyfriend, Zhang Heng," Jin Lulu introduced in a flat tone.
"Hello." Zhang Heng nodded somewhat awkwardly.
"Hello!" Wang Jiaqi smiled, her eyes crinkling, and turned to President Li, saying, "Darling, Lulu used to be such a kind-hearted person in our class. Tang Tang said she'll always be grateful to Lulu."
Wang Jiaqi is such a smooth talker! Zhou Suisui is having a blast watching this drama unfold.
Mr. Li nodded politely to Zhang Heng, his attitude impeccable, but his condescending calm only highlighted the gap between them.
Jin Lulu's face paled even more. Zhang Heng, who was beside her, seemed to want to say something, moved his lips, but in the end just lowered his head and took a sip of water.
Zhou Suisui's fingers unconsciously rubbed the inside of the cup. She looked at the expressions of her classmates around her—some disdainful, some embarrassed, some indifferent—and understood.
How true! She is too!
Jin Lulu suddenly stood up. "Wang Jiaqi," her voice wasn't loud, but it sounded exceptionally clear because of the strange silence in the private room, "That's enough."
Liu Weiwei leaned close to Zhou Suisui's ear, her voice filled with suppressed excitement: "It's coming, it's coming..."
Wang Jiaqi blinked, looking completely innocent. "Lulu, what's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
