Coincidentally, Chen Shaoping thought the same thing. He originally planned that once he married Xia Yichu, he could benefit from Lin Xingcheng's success, so he was willing to tolerate some things.

Judging from Lin Xingcheng's attitude towards him now, he is determined to trample Lin Xingcheng underfoot and make him kneel down and beg him one day.

"Shaoping, I'm hungry. Let me invite you to eat."

Chen Shaoping looked at Yang Mengru, who was trying to ingratiate herself with him. Yang Mengru was his high school classmate. She wasn't as pretty as Xia Yichu, but she was gentle and kind, and most importantly, she listened to him.

His family's financial situation was average; his parents were factory workers. He had an older brother, an older sister, and a younger brother. He didn't want to live a mediocre life. Therefore, he couldn't be with Yang Mengru yet; they would be together later when he became successful.

Xia Yichu is the best person he can get in touch with right now. His aunt, who works as a nanny in Kyoto, said that Xia Yichu's biological father is very powerful and told him to seize the opportunity to marry Xia Yichu.

"Shaoping"

Yang Mengru waited for a while, but Chen Shaoping didn't say anything, and his expression didn't look good.

"Okay, let's go."

To cheer Chen Shaoping up, Yang Mengru treated him to a meal at a restaurant. It cost her almost forty yuan, and she still wasn't full. However, seeing Chen Shaoping happy made it all worthwhile.

"Xingcheng, we're actually in the same dorm! That's great!"

After the meal, Chen Shaoping felt much better and went back with Yang Mengru. He hadn't eaten meat for the past two days because he had no money.

When he returned to the dorm and saw Lin Xingcheng sitting on the bed near the door reading a book, he was delighted. Sharing a dorm was great! This made it even easier to harm Lin Xingcheng.

He didn't mind Lin Xingcheng ignoring him, and turned around to greet everyone. When he arrived, the people in the dormitory had gone out to eat, and no one was there.

"Hello everyone, my name is Chen Shaoping, and I used to go to the same school as Xingcheng."

"Hello, Chen, my name is Liu Haoran."

The person closest to Chen Shaoping introduced himself first. When Lin Xingcheng came in earlier, he only nodded to them, looking down on them, which annoyed Chen Shaoping.

"Hello everyone, my name is Zhou Wei."

The person in the upper bunk above Lin Xingcheng grinned, sticking out half his head to introduce himself.

"Xie Jun," Xie Jun said, lying on the bed next to Lin Xingcheng, chewing gum and crossing his legs.

"My name is Li Heping. I have other things to do. You two can continue your conversation." With that, he took the book and left.

My name is Wang Mingjie.

Wang Mingjie stood by the window, head bowed, and whispered. His bed was above Xie Jun's, and Xie Jun had forbidden him from staying there except at night. He dared not disobey and stood helplessly by the window.

"My name is Xu Shaoyang. Who wants to go out for a walk with me? I've heard there are quite a few beautiful girls in our freshman year."

"I'll go with you."

Xie Jun stood up quickly; he didn't want to look at the pretty girls, he was just bored in the dorm. After Xie Jun and Xu Shaoyang left, everyone in the dorm went about their own business, and no one spoke.

Xia Yichu got along well with her roommates, thankfully not sharing a dorm with Yang Mengru. Except for Jiang Meixiang, who had just arrived and remained silent, everyone else was talking about school.

Xia Yichu occasionally said a word or two, but mostly listened to them. She hadn't gone to university in her past life, but now she felt pretty good about it.

"Hello everyone, I'm Yang Mengru from room 402 in the next dorm. Xia Yichu and I were high school classmates."

Just as everyone was having a great time chatting, Yang Mengru knocked on the door to say hello.

"Hello, my name is Zhou Shuqi," a girl closest to the door greeted first.

"Zhang Yuanyuan," another girl in a dress said while eating a cookie.

When Yang Mengru saw her, her eyes lit up; she could tell from the look of someone from a well-off family.

"Yuanyuan, your dress is so pretty." Seeing Yang Mengru's fawning expression, Zhang Huan and Wang Yarong didn't want to make a fool of themselves and didn't introduce themselves.

"Yes, this was brought back for me by my older brother from Hong Kong." She had been wandering around the dormitory for a long time without anyone asking about her dress, and finally someone who knew its value came along.

"It looks even better on you; it's practically made for you."

"Really? I think so too."

"Even a horse can't take a picture like you," a girl reading a textbook said, rolling her eyes.

"Li Xiaoman, you're just jealous of me. Mengru, ignore her."

"What a joke! I need to be jealous of you? You'd better watch your step or you'll get scammed."

What an idiot! She's rich but still so high-profile. If it weren't for her cousin asking her to keep an eye on Zhang Yuanyuan, she wouldn't bother with her at all.

"Li, can you please stop being so hostile towards me? I genuinely think Yuanyuan's dress is beautiful, and she's even more beautiful herself. I didn't mean anything by it."

"Stop trying to look cute. I'm not Chen Shaoping, and I don't fall for that."

Li Xiaoman witnessed the entire incident that happened downstairs with Xia Yichu and the others, including Yang Mengru and Chen Shaoping's subsequent dinner at the restaurant.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Shao Ping and I are just classmates. Yi Chu, don't misunderstand."

Xia Yichu was enjoying the show when Yang Mengru had to make her feel disgusted.

"Xia Yichu, they just went to a restaurant together. Yang Mengru kept putting food on Chen Shaoping's plate and even clung to his hand affectionately!"

"Li, you've misunderstood. I have no relationship with Chen Shaoping. It's just that when I was in junior high school, someone stopped me on my way home from school, and he tried to save me, although he ended up getting beaten up."

I chased away the person who tried to stop me. He said he wanted to be friends with me, and I was truly grateful for his help. I felt bad refusing, so we've only been going to and from school together for the past few years.

Xiao Cheng was sick and didn't go to school that day. Those people thought they could bully her because she wasn't there. They didn't even know how many fights she'd been in since she was little. Others might be afraid to fight, but she wasn't.

"I see. It's a good thing you don't like Chen Shaoping. He confessed his feelings to you one minute and then went out to dinner with Yang Mengru all lovey-dovey the next."

"Yichu, Shaoping and I are just good friends. If you don't like me getting too close to Shaoping, I promise I won't go to see him anymore."

"No, you two should be together."

It would be best to lock them up completely. Even without her as a sucker, she still took the gold bars and jewelry from the woods behind the mountain. I wonder if they can ever live happily ever after.

"Yichu, I'm sorry, I won't walk with Shaoping anymore, sob sob..."

After Yang Mengru finished speaking, she left crying, leaving everyone in the dormitory completely bewildered.

"Xia Yichu, has she always been like this?"

"More or less!"

Li Xiaoman glanced at Xia Yichu with sympathy, then turned to Xia Yichu and said, "Zhang Yuanyuan, stay away from Yang Mengru, do you hear me?"

"Okay, okay, you're so annoying, Xiaorou, let's go for a walk."

"Okay, sure."

Zhang Yuanyuan was upset. She had finally convinced her parents to let her stay at the school dormitory. Her second brother used his connections to arrange for Li Xiaoman to share a dorm room with her, keeping a close eye on her.
