Chapter 402: Chapter 395 Where in Life Do We Not Meet?
Wei Jiani took a piece of chocolate and tossed it straight into the trash, “You guys dare to eat this? What if it’s expired and you get food poisoning?”
Her words choked everyone else up a bit, making their mood turn sour. When people are eating, could you not mention crap and farts? It really makes people feel nauseated.
As for Wei Jiani’s provocation, Tang Yuxin just slightly curled her lip, “Each one has a manufacturing date on it. This classmate, if you don’t understand English, you can at least recognize Arabic numerals, right?”
Jiani huffed and stood up, taking her book and walked out.
As for the other students who were eating their chocolates, they were quite surprised. The atmosphere turned quite tense as if not only did the two know each other but also as if they were enemies.
Could it be that they were truly enemies?
But, everyone knew who Wei Jiani was after having been classmates for three years in the dormitory. She was a spoiled child. Sometimes her words and actions were quite inappropriate. This was Tang Yuxin’s first time coming here, and she had brought gifts for them in good manners. Wei Jiani’s action of tossing the carefully shared chocolates seemed to slap Tang Yuxin’s face and made their dorm leader Li Jia, who had distributed the chocolates, uncomfortable too.
“Don’t take it to heart. She’s just like that, a pampered only child. She’s choked up on us many times before,” said the others while continuing to eat their chocolates and laugh. Apparently, Li Jia’s words were true that Wei Jiani did not have a good reputation within the dormitory.
Wei Jiani was indeed like this, a dog couldn’t change its habit to eat shit. But what surprised Tang Yuxin was why Wei Jiani, who had studied arts in her previous lifetime, ended up in the medical department in Fifth Military Medical University.
Theoretically, Wei Jiani was not qualified to be admitted to such a good school with her grades. In her previous life, Wei Jiani had studied arts. But after considering, Tang Yuxin realized that in this life, she had not followed Sang Zhilan’s footsteps, and Sang Zhilan did not receive the alimony from her father. The two workers couldn’t possibly earn much in a month. Without this extra income, Wei Jiani would not be able to receive any quality livelihood and her piano lessons would be heavily disrupted. Consequently, Wei Jiani, who was fantastic in playing the piano in junior high in her past life, could only muddle through due to the financial issues. This became obvious to those who were familiar with the craft, and her piano skills were seen as quite mediocre. So after high school, Wei Jiani rarely played the piano.
Therefore, it wasn’t possible for her to be admitted to the arts department either. Now, she was also a junior like Tang Yuxin, implying they were peers who got into universities together. Originally, Tang Yuxin was the top scholar in her province in the college entrance exam, which was a known event. As for Wei Jiani, Tang Yuxin did not check her scores because no matter what, the scores wouldn’t be high. And the scores would not be high enough to be admitted to the Fifth Military Medical University, which really confused Tang Yuxin.
Regardless, her new dorm mates were pretty chatty and easy to get along with. Tang Yuxin was not short of money, so she brought a box of chocolates for her roommates on the first day. Moreover, she invited everyone to dinner on Sunday.
“You’re treating us?” Li Jia leaned on Tang Yuxin’s shoulder, thought for a while, then shook her head, “I suppose we should say no to avoid taking advantage of you. You’ve already given us chocolates. We’re all students spending our parents’ money, it’s not easy.”
Similar thoughts were harbored by the other classmates too. Generally, those living in the dormitory were children of the working class. Everyone had mediocre family situations, generally saving when getting meals and not buying anything rich to eat. Although Wei Jiani was a bit wealthier than them, using quality skincare products and having decent food, she did not dine with them, possibly fearing they would take away her portion.
“No sweat,” Tang Yuxin neatly packed her school bag, “We’ll head out soon, and I’ll treat you. When I was at Qing University, the school provided a subsidy, so I can afford to treat you a few times. Besides,” she sighed, “the food at the med school is so bland, I’ve lost weight.” She touched her face, “I want meat, I want fish. If I go alone, they might treat me like a pig. So, I want you guys to accompany me and we’ll pig out together.”
Her words instantly threw everyone into fits of laughter. Li Jia even lunged at Tang Yuxin, clutching her face, laughing until her stomach hurt.
When they left, Li Jia specifically called Wei Jiani. Naturally, Wei Jiani refused to go and sarcastically jabbed, “What good food can she possibly afford? Probably just tofu and vegetable soup.” She preferred not to go.
Li Jia had good intentions but was again choked up by Wei Jiani, feeling very unhappy. Seems like her good intentions were taken for granted. Li Jia felt relieved thinking that no one called for Wei Jiani to begin with. As it stands, she just wanted to include Wei Jiani since everyone belonged to the same dormitory. Maybe it could improve their relationship. If Wei Jiani wanted to play the superior, let her be. Just don’t lord over her.
Tang Yuxin took them to a decent restaurant and let everyone order a dish. Li Jia and the others were sensible and therefore went for the cheaper options like stir-fry potato shreds and scrambled eggs with tomatoes. As three dishes were already ordered, it didn’t take much money.
Tang Yuxin added up seven to eight dishes straight away and ordered the signature dishes of the restaurant. A plate of agnolotti cost several tens of dollars and she didn’t even blink. When the dishes were served one by one, the students were flabbergasted.
“So much?”
“Yes,” Tang Yuxin snatched a chunk of fish into her bowl without a care, “Look, if I had eaten so much alone, would they think I’m a pig?
Li Jia who was sipping her beverage nearly spat out what she had just drunk.
A table full of dishes and no one held back for the fear of not being able to finish. Even though they were eating without reservation, they still couldn’t finish because Tang Yuxin had ordered too much. Tang Yuxin went ahead to pay. The meal cost nearly three hundred yuan which was almost a month’s meal cost for them. Yet, Tang Yuxin didn’t seem bothered
