The seating arrangement for Zheng Wei and the others was Zheng Wei on the far left by the window, followed by Ruan Guan, Li Weijuan, and Zhu Xiao Bei.

Wang Yan walked directly to the row behind them and sat down behind Zhu Xiao Bei. With the four girls turning their heads in unison to look, he calmly opened his notebook and greeted them: "Xiaobei, Juan'er, Miss Ruan."

Without waiting for the three to respond, Zheng Wei reached out and pointed at Wang Yan, glaring at him: "Tell me, were you doing this on purpose!"

"I study well, and civil engineering and architecture aren't separate, they can be used for each other. The leaders approved me to study both departments, so I can better contribute to the country's construction in the future. On purpose?" Wang Yan glanced sideways at Zheng Wei, whose small chest was heaving violently: "How big is your face?"

"You..."

"What about me? Did your family open the school? Does the earth revolve around you? I came over and it was on purpose? Then we are all breathing the same air today, does that mean everyone in the world has to crash and die just so it's not on purpose?"

Knowing she couldn't get the upper hand in an argument, Zheng Wei snorted and turned back, lying there again, only the heaving of her back indicated how angry she was.

Seeing this situation, Li Weijuan raised her eyebrows, silently gave a thumbs up, and then turned back. She wanted to chat with Wang Yan, but obviously, now was not a good time.

Zhu Xiao Bei chuckled, also turned back, and flipped through her book.

Ruan Guan nodded at Wang Yan, smiled charmingly, turned back, supported her chin with one hand, and spun a pen with the fingertips of the other.

Wang Yan quietly opened the textbook on the table and silently looked at the knowledge on it. Life is finite but knowledge is infinite; continuous learning had already become an indispensable pillar for him, the pursuit of knowledge.

Li Weijuan quietly leaned toward Zhu Xiao Bei and whispered: "Xiaobei, I saw you staring at the door earlier, did you know he was coming?"

"I was the one who gave him our class schedule." Zhu Xiao Bei poked her head out and glanced at Zheng Wei on the other side: "Don't you go blabbing about it, otherwise she'll come looking for trouble with me."

"Oh my, am I that kind of person? Besides, it really was her fault first, I'm on the side of reason, don't worry."

At this time, the old professor walked into the classroom, and the buzzing sound disappeared instantly, and the students began to prepare for class. Boring and dull courses, no matter how passionate the teacher is, it's hard for students to have enthusiasm.

【A novel app that has been running stably for many years, the source-changing app that old readers are using, huanyuanapp.】

The civil engineering teachers also knew about Wang Yan's situation. Even if they didn't know, they had been teaching for more than a month, and they would notice if there were new faces in the class. So inevitably, the frequency of Wang Yan being called up to answer questions was a bit higher; they wanted to see what his level was.

It was also by taking advantage of him standing up to answer questions that the four girls, including Zhu Xiao Bei, and other students, frequently turned their heads to look at him. No way, to a certain extent, he was a man of the hour. University students in Jin Ling all knew that there was a student at Southeast University who sold computers and got rich, buying one for himself in half a month. And these students now knew even more; after all, everyone had military training together. Before, there was no contact, but now they were in class together, and it was inevitable to look at the legendary figure like looking at a monkey to see what was different.

After the first class, Zheng Wei said something to Ruan Guan, packed her things directly, put on her backpack, snorted at Wang Yan, and turned to leave.

"Why are you looking at me? I didn't do anything, she was the one who wanted to leave." Wang Yan spread his hands innocently: "If she really had the ability, she shouldn't attend a single class and rely entirely on self-study, or she should take a year off and come back next year, then she wouldn't run into me."

"She hasn't been feeling well these past two days, and she got angry just now, so her body couldn't take it, and she went back to the dormitory to rest." Ruan Guan shook her head and smiled: "I remember that for a second degree..."

Before she could finish, Wang Yan repeated what he said to Shi Jie yesterday, as well as his ideal of designing and building his own building: "... isn't that why I came. Xiaobei knows all this, she even said she would go build a big building for me in the future."

Zhu Xiao Bei let out an "ah," and toward Li Weijuan and Ruan Guan, who were looking at her in unison, she reached out and touched her hair, chuckling foolishly.

"You're impressive, not to mention being able to make money, but your studies are also good, it really makes people envious, jealous, and hateful." Li Weijuan looked at Wang Yan with a bit of admiration.

"Envy and jealousy are fine, why hate me?"

"Annoying, I was just saying that."

Wang Yan looked at the three with a smile: "Do you want to go to the cafeteria for lunch together? A small private kitchen, my treat. Celebrate that we are classmates now."

"Forget it, how expensive is a small private kitchen." Before Li Weijuan could agree, Ruan Guan shook her head: "Your money didn't come from a strong wind, and you aren't selling computers anymore, so save where you can. Besides, we still have to bring some food back to Zheng Wei at noon, we can't let her go hungry, otherwise, she'll say we aren't loyal later."

"I think you won't need to do that anymore."

The three girls saw his eyes looking toward the door, and just saw Xu Kaiyang walking in leisurely, running toward this side with a clear goal: "Old Wang, you really came to civil engineering class."

"That's a way of putting it, could it be fake?"

"How is it? Are you used to it? Don't end up not learning either one well."

"That won't happen, and it's good to have class here, didn't you see I have three beauties here."

"Tsk tsk, it's two." Xu Kaiyang was also familiar with them. He reached out and rubbed Zhu Xiao Bei's short hair, and was slapped away by the latter in displeasure. He wasn't annoyed, and asked with a smile: "Where's Zheng Wei? Why don't I see her?"

Ruan Guan smiled: "She's not feeling well, she went back to the dormitory to rest."

Li Weijuan sensibly took over the conversation: "Right, she also asked us to bring her some food at noon."

Women, after all, have those few days every month. Xu Kaiyang understood and said "Oh," and said: "I know, leave the food delivery to me. It just so happens I don't have the next class, I'll go see her. That's it, I'm off."

Xu Kaiyang came and went like the wind, leaving decisively.

"See, what did I say. Let's settle the lunch matter, beauties, give me some face."

It had come to this, what else could they say? Besides, Zhu Xiao Bei and Li Weijuan were both very active, only Ruan Guan wanted to help Wang Yan save some money, but since he insisted, very smoothly, after the second class in the morning, one man and three women, the four of them strolled toward the cafeteria.

Small private kitchen, as the name suggests, is cooked separately, not big-pot rice. Nowadays, students' conditions are not very good, and not many can afford it; most of them pool money to satisfy their cravings occasionally. So naturally, they didn't need to rush over to queue up, so as not to have the good dishes in the big cafeteria finished by others.

Four people, Wang Yan got a table full of dishes. Ruan Guan tried to stop him, and Li Weijuan, who was clearly there for the money, both said it was too wasteful, only Zhu Xiao Bei kept smiling and didn't speak; she knew Wang Yan could really eat.

And the process of eating naturally passed in chatting. Li Weijuan hadn't had enough last time, and this time she chatted again, very happy, unable to control her mouth and laughing loudly. Different from the encounter in the library last time, Ruan Guan also participated with a smile. She was also very cheerful, a Bouyei girl who loved to drink, and there was never a lack of enthusiasm. With Zhu Xiao Bei occasionally interjecting, the four of them ate happily and chatted even more joyfully.

Just when they were eating and drinking happily, in the girls' dormitory, Zheng Wei was eating the food packed from the small private kitchen, and Xu Kaiyang on the side thoughtfully pushed the soup in front of her: "Come, Weiwei, drink some soup."

"Thank you."

"Hey, what kind of relationship do we have, do you still need to say thank you?" Xu Kaiyang smiled: "By the way, Weiwei, the things you asked me to inquire about have all been inquired about. I know about Chen Xiaozheng, I didn't expect Wang Yan to be quite miserable too, do you want to hear it?"

"Hmm."

"Let's talk about Chen Xiaozheng first, he was born in a worker's family, an only child, lost his father in childhood, and relied on his mother. His mother has a perverse temperament, and from childhood to adulthood, she has been strict with him, has mild mysophobia, and hates others smoking in the dormitory. He likes to be alone, is isolated, not good at interpersonal communication, gets up on time at 6:30 every morning to exercise, and studies in the library every night. His family conditions are not good, I introduced him to a part-time job making models to earn some living expenses, it's also not easy. Weiwei, I'm telling you, stop tormenting him."

Xu Kaiyang is not a bad person, otherwise he wouldn't have introduced Chen Xiaozheng to a part-time job making models, although he might have taken a little bit in the middle, it was harmless. After all, he could have found someone else, he didn't have to choose Chen Xiaozheng. It's just that he has money at home, is used to being self-centered, and has some arrogance. And now Zheng Wei didn't say she liked Chen Xiaozheng, so for the sake of less torment, he was indeed well-intentioned.

"Less nonsense, what about Wang Yan?"

Xu Kaiyang shook his head helplessly: "Xu Kaiyang and Wang Yan are actually just average, Old Zhang has a good relationship with him, so there is less information about him. However, I have seen his enrollment information, his parents have both passed away. Later, I found Sun Mingbo, who is his dormitory roommate and also the monitor of their class, he knows more, so I went to ask him again. Wang Yan's parents died in a car accident when he was in the third year of junior high, and he lived under the care of the neighborhood office where they lived. It seems his parents were in business and left him some money so he could study with peace of mind without worrying about his livelihood.

His schedule is not fixed, but he gets up at five or six every morning to run and practice martial arts around Xuanwu Lake, and takes a cold shower every night, which is especially ruthless. As for classes, he never attends English classes, and other professional courses are only attended occasionally. Sometimes he goes to the library, sometimes he stays in the dormitory. He is very impressive, you know about the computer selling, right? He can make money. But he is indeed quite miserable, think about it, his parents are both dead, and he has no relatives or friends, that feeling is not good. So I'm saying, Weiwei, let's stop tormenting them, just consider it letting them off the hook."

What he didn't say was that Chen Xiaozheng was one thing, but Wang Yan was not to be trifled with, that was a ruthless person. Who knows if Zheng Wei would get beaten up if she went too far. After all, Wang Yan has no parents or relatives, he makes his own decisions, and has no scruples. Provoking him is really not worth it.

After hearing about Wang Yan's situation, Zheng Wei looked at Xu Kaiyang blankly, and after a long while, she spoke: "Chen Xiaozheng only lost his dad and was already so isolated. Wang Yan's parents are both dead, how can he still be so lively? Looking like nothing happened?"

"Otherwise? Hang a dead face every day? Looking like he's about to die?" Xu Kaiyang looked at her speechlessly: "I guess Chen Xiaozheng has been like this since he lost his dad when he was a child, and his mother managed him strictly. Wang Yan was already in the third year of junior high, and people are different. Such a big thing, he was able to adjust himself and even get into our Southeast University, impressive."

Zheng Wei couldn't help but sigh, waved her hand and said: "Alright, I know. You go first, Ruan Guan and the others will be back soon."

"Then you eat all the food." Xu Kaiyang nodded and instructed, then got up and left the dormitory.

How could Zheng Wei eat? There was physical discomfort, and even more discomfort in her heart...

"Yo, Zheng eldest miss is eating a love lunch. Let me see what it is? Whoa, this Young Xu Gong is really good to you..."

Li Weijuan leaned over to look at the food on the table, seeing Zheng Wei blankly not reacting, she reached out and patted Zheng Wei on the shoulder: "Hey, who are you thinking about instead of eating? Young Xu Gong?"

"Can you shut your mouth, annoying." Zheng Wei rolled her eyes, she couldn't stand Li Weijuan's gossiping nature.

"Not recognizing a good heart, aren't I caring about you."

"Then I thank you." Zheng Wei replied perfunctorily, and turned to chat: "What did you eat at noon?"

Looking back at Ruan Guan and Zhu Xiao Bei, Li Weijuan opened her mouth: "Just the big cafeteria, otherwise what else could we eat? How could it be as sumptuous as what you, Zheng eldest miss, are eating."

"Forget it, Xu Kaiyang told me everything. When he went to find me, the three of you were chatting very happily with Wang Yan. Wang Yan isn't short of money, and you all know each other, I don't believe he didn't invite you to eat, and you wouldn't agree?"

Zhu Xiao Bei didn't speak, just chuckled and scratched her head.

"Alright, Zheng Wei, I didn't notice before that you were so good at analyzing." Ruan Guan smiled: "Yes, Wang Yan invited us to eat at the small private kitchen at noon. It wasn't intentional to hide it from you, it's just that we thought your relationship wasn't good."

Zheng Wei couldn't help but pout: "If you thought that, you shouldn't have gone."

Perhaps feeling that these words were wrong, Zheng Wei took a sip of soup to cover up her embarrassment, didn't look at their expressions, and said while eating: "I have the latest news about Chen Xiaozheng and Wang Yan, do you want to hear it?"

Zhu Xiao Bei, who was pouring water, didn't turn her head: "Then just say it."

"Chen Xiaozheng is from a single-parent family, Wang Yan's parents are both dead."

"What?" X3.

Zheng Wei nodded, then repeated what Xu Kaiyang told her, and then continued to lower her head to eat.

After a long silence, Li Weijuan said: "I think Wang Yan is quite lively, I really didn't expect it."

Ruan Guan nodded: "Hmm, indeed. He is so witty, so good at telling jokes, but he himself has suffered so miserably."

Zhu Xiao Bei sat there drinking water sulkily, not saying a word.

It was very obvious that no one cared about Chen Xiaozheng; they were all acting out of women's hearts, feeling sorry for Wang Yan, this orphan.

After a while, Li Weijuan said: "But he is also quite good, at least his parents were in business before they died and left him a lot of money. If he didn't have money, that would be miserable..."

Just knowing money, Ruan Guan rolled her eyes, then looked at Zheng Wei with a serious face: "Zheng Wei, you aren't planning to use this kind of thing to take revenge on Wang Yan, are you? I advise you not to do this."

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Xiao Bei and Li Weijuan also stared tightly at Zheng Wei, after all, the nature of this was different.

"Oh my, why are you three looking at me? I am sometimes quite willful, but I'm not stupid, and I'm not bad, can I do this kind of thing? Really. I don't even want to make things difficult for them anymore, just consider it me feeling sorry for them, and letting them off the hook as a magnanimous person."

"Should have been like this long ago." Ruan Guan looked at Zheng Wei, who was being stubborn, with a smile.

She knew that Zheng Wei had no way to take revenge on Chen Xiaozheng and Wang Yan, especially Wang Yan. This had nothing to do with family background; everyone was a student, murder was out of the question, ruining someone's reputation was a villainous act, and causing trouble behind their backs was even dirtier. And frontal confrontation, whether it was fighting or arguing, Zheng Wei didn't have the upper hand.

That was just in front of so many students, dumping Chen Xiaozheng's food, it was indeed excessive, but it also counted as paying back for being pushed down by Chen Xiaozheng before. These past two days, they had also run into Chen Xiaozheng once, and that guy wished he could hide eight hundred meters away from them.

As for Wang Yan, that goes without saying, he didn't even look at Zheng Wei directly. She recalled carefully, it seemed that from the time Wang Yan kept nodding and greeting her, he hadn't looked at Zheng Wei.

As Ruan Guan said this, the atmosphere in the room relaxed, and the four women were chatting again, and even discussed why Wang Yan could eat so much...

Wang Yan didn't return to the dormitory at noon, but went to the library. His spirit now had 83 points, enough to support him in thinking while reading ten lines at a glance. So he read books very quickly, just flipping pages at a stable frequency. During the lunch break, flipping through a book was very easy.

Of course, this refers to books in the humanities and social sciences. If it were engineering books, it would be much slower, because that is professional knowledge after all, and in-depth study in a specialized field.

The first class in the afternoon was following the civil engineering department, and the second class was the Architecture Department's course. He naturally noticed the strangeness of Ruan Guan and the others looking at him, but he didn't think much about it, because according to his understanding, Zhu Xiao Bei would definitely tell him later.

However, he hadn't waited for Zhu Xiao Bei to tell him what happened before he knew.

In the evening, everyone returned to the dormitory. Wang Yan was smoking at the door of the washroom. Sun Mingbo, who had just finished using the toilet, saw him and was stunned for a moment, then walked over and said: "Old Wang, there's something I forgot to tell you."

"Hmm, go ahead."

"It's just yesterday, Xu Kaiyang came to me to ask about your situation, saying he didn't know where he saw your enrollment information, knew your parents were both dead, and asked me to inquire. I thought since he already knew, I didn't hide it from him and told him about your previous situation. It doesn't matter, right?"

How fast Wang Yan's brain turned, he understood immediately that it was Zheng Wei who asked Xu Kaiyang to inquire about his situation. And why Ruan Guan, Li Weijuan, and Zhu Xiao Bei were strange this afternoon was also clear; wasn't it just feeling sorry for him?

When did he ever need to rely on his parents to find sympathy? But there was no way, that was the truth after all, he was just an orphan in the movie world...

Sun Mingbo had known his situation for a long time, after all, as a monitor, he knew the situation of the students in the class. It was also after knowing this that Sun Mingbo once asked him and comforted him for a long time.

He shook his head with a smile: "Are you treating me like a fool? Didn't Wang Kang and Zhou Jianguo also know? Did you think I couldn't see it?"

"No, I..."

Waving his hand to interrupt Sun Mingbo's words, Wang Yan patted him on the shoulder: "I know you're well-intentioned, I understand your heart. It's been more than three years, I figured it out long ago, otherwise could you still see me alive and kicking? I'm not that fragile, don't worry, aren't I living quite well?"

"That's for sure, you study well, have money, and your popularity with women is not bad, some people even write you love letters, the three of us are envious, jealous, and hateful."

"There will be many such things in the future, you'll get used to it."

After chatting for a few words, seeing Zhang Kai coming out with a basin, Wang Yan waved his hand: "Trouble you, help me bring the basin over too."

Zhang Kai nodded and naturally entered Dormitory 312. Sun Mingbo also greeted him and returned to his dormitory.

Before long, Zhang Kai walked over swaying, with a basin in each hand and a cigarette in his mouth. Wang Yan didn't even need to think to know that this kid was sponging off his cigarettes.

"How is it, didn't get into a fight with Zheng Wei, right?"

"Just argued for two sentences at the beginning, and she went back to the dormitory in the second class. Ruan Guan said she wasn't feeling well. Women, after all, always have those few days. Like this, how could she have the strength to fight with me."

Zhang Kai grinned: "That's also true, she's no match for you. I tried to persuade her but she wouldn't listen, just looking for trouble for herself."

"Did Zheng Wei ask you to find detailed intelligence on me before?"

"Hmm? How did you know?" Zhang Kai was stunned for a moment, waving his hands repeatedly: "Don't look at me like that, she did tell me, but I didn't do it, I can't betray a friend."

Wang Yan nodded, he was just confirming: "I know, she should have gone to find Young Xu Gong. Sun Mingbo just told me that Young Xu Gong asked him about my parents' death yesterday."

"What? Your parents are both dead?"

"Alright, alright, don't you know you don't have acting talent."

Carefully watching Wang Yan's expression, seeing it was as usual, Zhang Kai chuckled: "It's also Sun Mingbo caring about you, he didn't go around spreading it. He just said that since we are together, try not to bring up parents, just afraid you'd let your imagination run wild. At that time, I refuted him, I said you study well now, and can make money, your future is limitless, where would you let your imagination run wild?"

"I know, it's just that it hasn't been exposed all along, making it seem like I'm so miserable. But it's also quite good, there's indeed a bonus." Wang Yan said these words of a filial son, looking at Zhang Kai with a smile: "Young Xu Gong should have told Zheng Wei about this today, and then Zheng Wei told Ruan Guan and the others. Oh my, you didn't see it, the way they looked at me was so heartbroken, pitiful, tsk tsk..."

Saying a few words didn't matter, after all, his parents' memorial tablets had been worshipped in the Imperial Temple for a hundred years last time, and he went to kowtow when he had nothing to do...

Hearing the mention of Ruan Guan, Zhang Kai's expression didn't change, still smiling.

Wang Yan found it interesting, and kept picking on Ruan Guan to talk about. Still the same sentence, only one knows what that thing is thinking. He guaranteed that if Zhang Kai could sleep comfortably today, he would lose. He was of course unintentional, after all, Ruan Guan really looked good, and he really "didn't know" Zhang Kai was playing a supporting role in his own self-intoxication.

"Wang Yan, Zheng Wei is looking for you."

Just when Wang Yan was teasing Zhang Kai with his bad taste, Chen Xiaozheng stood at the door of the washroom and greeted him.

"What is she looking for me for? How did you pass the message for her?"

"Don't know what kind of madness she's having, I just came back from the library, and she stopped me to apologize, and I apologized back to her. She asked me to come up and call you down, maybe she wants to apologize to you too."

Chen Xiaozheng's dead face was full of confusion; he really didn't understand, she dumped his food two days ago, and now she's apologizing to him?

"Alright, I know, thank you."

Chen Xiaozheng nodded, then turned and left.

Zhang Kai said with a smile: "I told you, this girl is not bad, just short-sighted, in your Northeast dialect, it's too reckless."

"Who knows, I'll go see." While speaking, Wang Yan put down the clothes he was washing, returned to the dormitory, put on a jacket, and went downstairs.

As soon as he came out, he saw Zheng Wei kicking stones boredly by the bulletin board standing on the open space in front of the dormitory building.

"I heard you want to apologize to me?"

Hearing the sound, Zheng Wei raised her head and looked seriously at the face in front of her that she had never seriously observed before. His cheeks were angular, his eyes were deep and mysterious, he was tall and big, and he seemed to have always stood straight.

"Hey, why are you staring at me? Speak!" Wang Yan was a bit impatient and waved his hand in front of her.

"Ah, yes, I have always dared to act and dare to take responsibility, I just came to apologize to you. It was my fault before, I disturbed your rest and study, and I blamed you for meddling in other people's business, I'm sorry, I apologize to you. I have already apologized to Chen Xiaozheng before, and he also apologized to me, saying he shouldn't have pushed me down so hard."

"Hmm, I know." Wang Yan waved his hand and turned to leave.

Zheng Wei blankly watched him sway into the dormitory building, greet the security guard, and finally go up the stairs, disappearing from her field of vision.

She came back to her senses, glared at the place where Wang Yan finally disappeared, stomped her foot hard, snorted fiercely, and turned to leave.

"How is it? Did you say it all? It's good that you said it, everyone is a friend." Zhang Kai fulfilled his greatest obligation as a friend, trying hard to ease the situation on both sides.

Wang Yan shook his head and smiled, his hands not stopping as he rubbed the clothes: "Chen Xiaozheng was right, she really is having a fit, don't know what she wants to do. It wasn't a big deal to begin with, it's just that she disturbed the students' rest, could I really hold a grudge against a little girl? As for everyone being friends, forget it, it's good enough to not disturb each other and be safe."

"Look at what you're saying, as if Zheng Wei is some kind of snake or scorpion."

"Didn't you see her like that that day? Like she was about to die, not much worse than a snake or scorpion, who can take that, I'm scared, better to stay away."

Zhang Kai didn't care, it was good enough that Zheng Wei didn't make things difficult here anymore, he hadn't thought about anything else. And to be honest, his relationship with Zheng Wei was good, partly because of what he called compatibility, and partly because of Ruan Guan's relationship. A supporting role also needs a protagonist, otherwise where would he support?

The two chatted and laughed while washing up, and halfway through, Xu Kaiyang also joined in, and no one mentioned Xu Kaiyang helping Zheng Wei. After washing up, they returned to the dormitory to listen to the nightly talk of the few lads, and went to sleep...
