Protagonist:
Li Xiulan
Wang Xiaohua came to the County Town, visited Li Jianjia's home, and then went to Guangzhou with Li Jianjia.
He and Li Jianjia rented an apartment for one week in Beigang Village, Guangzhou University Town; during that week they were inseparable, touring all ten universities in the University Town as well as the surrounding attractions.
Guangzhou Tower, Chimelong Paradise, Baiyun Mountain, Beijing Road, and so on—they visited them all.
It was the happiest period of Wang Xiaohua's life.
But happy times are always fleeting.
In the blink of an eye a week passed; tomorrow early morning, Wang Xiaohua would take an airplane to Beijing.
And for quite a long time afterward, the two of them would begin a long-distance relationship.
And long-distance relationships test both sides the most.
Once passion fades and distance grows, what is needed is not only mutual love, but also mutual trust.
That afternoon, the two of them strolled on campus.
"You're leaving tomorrow, and I'm a bit reluctant to part with you."
Li Jianjia was reluctant to let him go.
Wang Xiaohua said:
"When May Day holiday comes, I'll come to Guangzhou to find you."
Li Jianjia smiled and said:
"All right, the weather will be hot by May Day, and then we can go rafting together."
Even before parting, Li Jianjia was already imagining the wonderful time of their next reunion.
Just then, a female classmate walked over.
"Jianjia, you're back at school too?"
The female classmate who walked over was none other than Li Jianjia's roommate, Lin Yuan.
"Lin Yuan, what a coincidence, I just got back too."
Li Jianjia's relationship with Lin Yuan and the other two roommates was actually not very close; she kept a faint sense of distance from the other three in the dorm.
Because the atmosphere in a girls' dorm is different from that in a boys' dorm.
Girls' dorms have a lot of drama—the four of them roommates even created five WeChat groups.
Li Jianjia didn't want to deal with that; she had previously quit all the groups, which instead made the three roommates quite critical of her.
"Just got back, no wonder there's not much on your bed... who is this?"
Lin Yuan's gaze fell on Wang Xiaohua, and a hint of contempt inevitably showed in her eyes.
She thought to herself, who is this little runt?
"This is my boyfriend."
Li Jianjia openly admitted it, and taking Wang Xiaohua's hand, she smiled and introduced him:
"His name is Wang Xiaohua, he's my high school classmate, currently studying at..."
Before Li Jianjia could finish her sentence, Lin Yuan actually interrupted her without any sense of boundaries:
"Jianjia, how desperate must you be to find someone so short?"
After saying this, she hurriedly said to Wang Xiaohua:
"I'm sorry, I'm just like this—I speak bluntly. I hope you don't mind; after all, I'm telling the truth."
Wang Xiaohua could only give an embarrassed laugh:
"It's fine, it's fine..."
He didn't take it to heart; after all, height is something that can't be changed, and he had been mocked for it plenty before, long since used to it—he'd just laugh it off, why would he bother arguing?
But Li Jianjia was somewhat displeased:
"Lin Yuan, what kind of man I choose as my boyfriend is my own business. I hope you show some respect. Whether I'm desperate or not is none of your concern."
Lin Yuan gave a dry laugh and said nothing more.
She hurriedly said goodbye and left.
"I have other things to do, so I won't chat anymore. Goodbye."
But she had only walked a few steps, not yet far away, when she muttered under her breath:
"What kind of taste is that? So many handsome guys pursued her before, and she refused them all; now she's found a little runt as a boyfriend—she's really stupid!"
Li Jianjia was very angry about this and immediately turned around to catch up and block Lin Yuan.
She was like this: either she didn't bother, or she settled things on the spot.
"Lin Yuan, are you very curious why I chose Xiao Hua as my boyfriend? Let me tell you now: because he's the top scorer in our city's college entrance exam, because he's a Tsinghua University student, because he has talent, ability, and personal charm. Because I'm not worldly and snobbish like you—you only stare at a man's stinking skin, but that doesn't mean I have to be as shallow as you. If you only care about stinking skin, just go find a male model at a club; why bother finding a boyfriend? Understand? If you value stinking skin so much, I sincerely hope your future boyfriend is a club male model, so it can satisfy your vanity."
Lin Yuan was somewhat stunned.
She never expected Li Jianjia to catch up and block her, let alone say all that to her.
Li Jianjia looked straight into her eyes and continued:
"Lastly, I'll give you a piece of advice: think before you speak. Know what can be said in front of others and what can't. Get your priorities straight. If your parents didn't teach you this, once you graduate and enter society to work, you'll have a bitter time."
Lin Yuan came back to her senses and could only give an embarrassed laugh, hurriedly making excuses for herself:
"I was just joking around. Why take it so seriously? Your boyfriend really is short—I didn't say anything wrong!"
Li Jianjia smiled, a cold smile:
"You know perfectly well—is that the problem? Forget it. We're not from the same world; saying more to you is useless, just a waste of breath."
After saying this, Li Jianjia turned around and left with Xiao Hua.
Seeing this, Xiao Hua couldn't help but look at Li Jianjia with new respect:
"Jianjia, you're way too cool!"
Still laughing, he praised:
"You've got the vibe of a domineering female CEO!"
Li Jianjia laughed:
"Normal operation—I'm no soft persimmon!"
The reason she said these things to Lin Yuan wasn't because she cared about face, but because she wanted to make her attitude clear, to let others know she wasn't someone to be bullied.
Since she chose to be with Xiao Hua, she had made the psychological preparation to be talked about behind her back.
You can say whatever you want behind my back, but don't say it to my face.
If you offend me like this and I don't respond at all, it'll only make people think I'm a soft persimmon they can push around.
So Li Jianjia caught Lin Yuan and gave her a piece of her mind.
Lin Yuan was caught off guard and could only make a guilty excuse, saying she was joking.
After returning to the dorm alone, the more she thought about it, the angrier she got.
She felt Li Jianjia was bullying her.
"Li Jianjia, you say I have no manners, right? Then I'll show you no manners!"
She then picked up the milk tea she'd just bought and splashed some onto Li Jianjia's computer desk.
"Let you talk about me, let you talk about me!"
Still not satisfied, she went out to the dorm balcony, picked up the toilet cleaner, used a fork to spear Li Jianjia's underwear, and poured it onto the underwear.
After pouring, she speared it up again to let it dry.
Once the toilet cleaner dried on the underwear, if Li Jianjia didn't notice and put the underwear on, she'd definitely have it coming.
Lin Yuan had just finished her dirty deed when the dorm door opened.
The other two roommates, Liang Lina and Lan Xiaomeng, were also back at school.
Lin Yuan was still holding the toilet cleaner, afraid the matter would be exposed, so she quickly went into the toilet, pretending to scrub it.
"Lina, Xiaomeng, you're back!"
Lin Yuan greeted them with a fake smile, and even tried to cover up by explaining:
"The dorm toilet hasn't been used all winter vacation and has turned yellow; I'm scrubbing the toilet right now."
