Chapter 93: The Audience Seats Are Still Lacking People

"What's the matter? It's just a few pieces of cloth, why make such a big fuss?"

"No, Yueyue, do you know how expensive these few pieces of cloth are?"

Dong Xinxin shook the underwear in her hands twice, her expression serious.

Seeing her like this, Dan Yuyue couldn't help but ask hesitantly: "How expensive?"

Dong Xinxin said in a low voice: "Although I don't know the price of this underwear, cosmetics from this brand start at four figures, and five figures are the norm. Last semester, I scrimped and saved for three months, and I still couldn't scrape together enough money for a bottle of Laiponi caviar essence."

Hearing this, Dan Yuyue was stunned for a moment, then immediately used her phone to search for Laiponi online. She discovered that just as Dong Xinxin said, cosmetics from this brand were all in the thousands or tens of thousands; the strings of high numbers were shocking.

In 2007, cosmetics costing tens of thousands were already high-end luxury.

For most students, this price was a significant amount of money.

Dan Yuyue then thought, this is a cosmetics company, is it possible their underwear isn't as expensive as their cosmetics?

Her thinking wasn't wrong; Laiponi underwear could only be considered standard, with prices not exceeding a thousand, just three or four hundred yuan.

Of course, this was what Xu Heng thought, but in Dan Yuyue's eyes, underwear costing three or four hundred yuan belonged to the "only a sucker would buy" category.

A piece of fabric costing several hundred? Wouldn't a bra and panties, two pieces of fabric, cost seven or eight hundred?

One has to ask, which college student would spend a month's living expenses on underwear?

And Xu Heng had given her several sets—items worth nearly two thousand yuan—which felt a bit burning to the touch in Dan Yuyue's hands.

She knew Xu Heng had made some money and had started a company, true, but surely it hadn't reached the point where he could just give away thousands of yuan like that?

Could he be... Dan Yuyue didn't dare to continue thinking.

At this moment, Wang Yi joked from over there: "Yueyue, when you strike it rich, bring your sisters along too; don't hog all the good stuff for yourself."

Dong Xinxin also nodded, staring at Dan Yuyue with an interrogative gaze: "Yueyue, tell the truth, who gave them to you? I don't believe you'd be willing to spend so much money to buy Laiponi underwear."

"Uh..."

"Yueyue, I know Cheng Huaiyu's situation was a huge blow to you, but you can't just give up on yourself and go down the wrong path because of it," Dong Xinxin said, anxiously grabbing Dan Yuyue's shoulders.

"Xinxin, you've misunderstood..."

"Even without a boyfriend, we are still students at Jin Da, we still have our own lives and futures; you absolutely must not do that kind of thing!"

"..."

Dong Xinxin had clearly taken the matter in the worst possible direction, but Dan Yuyue didn't know how best to explain it to her.

She couldn't exactly say it was Xu Heng who gave them to her.

The fact that Xu Heng gave her underwear was too bizarre.

If Dong Xinxin and Wang Yi were to dig for the truth later, it would be hard to hide what happened last night, which was so socially mortifying.

Furthermore, Ying Ziyun was still in the dormitory; if she heard, what would she think?

Going out to eat with her ex-boyfriend—did this not violate the 21st-century college dormitory code?

Finally, Dan Yuyue had a flash of inspiration and made up an excuse, saying she had run into a high school classmate last night who had been one of her pursuers back then. He was studying at Cai Da, was handsome and rich, and felt very sympathetic after hearing about her situation.

The two talked until late at night, and with a bit of wine, things got heated, and they ended up together that very night.

"So you're saying you have a new boyfriend now?" Wang Yi asked.

Dan Yuyue nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, yes."

"No wonder you're in such a good mood today."

Dong Xinxin tentatively believed her nonsense, but soon frowned again: "Yueyue, when did you become so loose? You can sleep with a tall, rich, and handsome guy the same night you run into him? Are you that open?"

"I've always been open."

"Then let me pinch you and test your level of openness."

"Get lost!"

Dong Xinxin clicked her tongue and withdrew the hand that was acting up on Dan Yuyue: "Unbelievable, Yueyue, you'll let a man pinch you now but not your own sisters, right?"

"Th-that's different, he's my boyfriend," Dan Yuyue insisted.

"Oh~~" Dong Xinxin raised an eyebrow, "Then bring this tall, rich, and handsome guy out for a stroll another day?"

Damn!

Dan Yuyue couldn't help but curse inwardly.

The little girl was sharp; she probably suspected holes in the story she had fabricated and wanted to verify if it was true.

Xu Heng was indeed tall, rich, and handsome, but he wasn't her boyfriend.

There was no other way in this situation; Dan Yuyue, sticking to the plan of hiding it as long as she could, said with an unchanging expression: "Of course, no problem. But he's busy preparing for the CET-6 exam recently. Once he has some free time, I'll call him out to have a meal with us, and by the way, let you all see how perfect my new boyfriend is."

She held her head high and looked confident when saying this. Although Dong Xinxin felt there were suspicious points, she didn't ask any further.

After finishing the topic of Dan Yuyue, the others in the dormitory began talking about Xu Heng again.

Xu Heng had suddenly become popular at school again recently. The reason was that he had forced an extra program into the Welcome Gala, which the Student Union claimed was to satisfy the freshmen's wish to see the "Cover Brother" perform.

The popularity of "Cover Brother," which had finally died down, was ignited once again at Jin Da.

Word of mouth spread, and everyone knew one thing: Cover Brother was going to perform at this year's Welcome Gala.

This also made many students who were interested in Cover Brother start to become interested in this year's Welcome Gala as well.

And the topic of discussion in Dan Yuyue's dormitory was nothing more than what song Xu Heng would sing on stage.

Dong Xinxin said that since Xu Heng liked Yunyun so much, he might take this opportunity to sing a confession song. Hehe, by then, even if Yunyun wanted to refuse, it wouldn't be easy.

Wang Yi said, "Forget it. Xu Heng hasn't come to their dormitory building to find Ying Ziyun for a long time, and he even blocked Yunyun on QQ. It feels like he's already lost interest in Yunyun and must have turned to ruin some freshman girl just like Cheng Huaiyu; that whole dormitory is full of scumbags."

Hearing this, Dan Yuyue couldn't help but retort, saying that Xu Heng shouldn't be that kind of person.

"Yueyue, did your head get caught in a door today? You used to be the one who liked badmouthing Xu Heng behind his back the most in the dorm; how come you've changed to speaking well of him today?" Wang Yi asked in surprise.

"Where did I speak well of him? I just think we should look at a person fairly and impartially," Dan Yuyue said.

Previously, Ying Ziyun being blocked was because of her, and she felt that since Xu Heng had started a company recently, he must be putting all his heart into it, so it was normal for him to be a bit distant toward Ying Ziyun.

"Yueyue, you have a problem," Dong Xinxin said, rubbing her chin and looking Dan Yuyue up and down, "A very big problem."

Dan Yuyue turned her head away guiltily and said nothing.

Just as Dong Xinxin was about to play Detective Conan again, Ying Ziyun, who had remained silent until now, spoke up.

"Are you two going to the Welcome Gala? The Student Union requires the Welcome Gala to be packed with guests this time, and the audience section is still short on people."
