"Oh, did the sun rise from the west? You used to be the laziest one, and now you're actually taking the initiative to scrub the toilet?"

Liang Lina said this with a laugh.

Lin Yuan was indeed the laziest person in the dormitory.

Originally, everyone had arranged for the four of them to take turns cleaning the dormitory hygiene, with one person cleaning per day.

In the past, when it was Lin Yuan's turn to clean, Lin Yuan never took the initiative to clean, and was even unwilling to throw away the trash; seeing others go downstairs to get meals, she would insist that they bring the trash down to throw away on the way.

"This toilet is filthy and unusable; anyway, I'm idle now with nothing to do, so I'll just scrub it a bit."

Lin Yuan explained like this.

Lan Xiaomeng asked at this time:

"Is Jianjia back?"

Lin Yuan said sarcastically:

"She's been back for a while, but she's busy dating; how could she be like me, taking the initiative to clean?"

"Jianjia has a boyfriend?" Liang Lina was immediately surprised, then hurriedly asked: "Which school hunk has such great ability to actually chase her down?"

Because Li Jianjia had given many boys who chased her the "good person card," she left others with an impression of being very aloof and very hard to pursue.

So now not only Liang Lina was surprised, Lan Xiaomeng was also surprised:

"That boy must be excellent, right! At least he has to be tall, rich, and handsome to win her over, right!"

Lin Yuan said instead:

"Excellent my ass, just a little shorty, only a bit taller than me! And he's wearing braces, ugly as hell!"

Lin Yuan was only 1.56 meters tall, the shortest of the four in the dormitory.

But her standards were the highest; she clearly stated that unless a tall handsome guy over 1.8 meters came to chase her, she wouldn't agree.

But actually, up to now, there simply hadn't been any boy who took the initiative to chase her.

After all, she was not only short, but her appearance wasn't particularly outstanding either.

Unlike Li Jianjia, who was 1.68 meters tall and had a very outstanding appearance; most importantly, she weighed a few pounds less than her.

From the moment they moved into the same dormitory, Lin Yuan had always disliked Li Jianjia; the reason was nothing else, actually simply because she was jealous of Li Jianjia.

Why was Li Jianjia's appearance so outstanding, her figure so good, her pursuers so many, and her grades so excellent? It was simply too unfair!

The struggle in the girls' dormitory, put bluntly, was just pettiness, jealousy, trivial matters, vanity, and comparison.

Li Jianjia didn't want to waste her energy on these meaningless things, so she seemed not very sociable; and not being sociable meant being aloof, putting on airs, and looking down on roommates.

Anyway, no matter what you do, if others find you an eyesore, they can always find a reason.

Liang Lina and Lan Xiaomeng were actually fine; at least they wouldn't gossip to your face, at most they'd say a couple of things about Li Jianjia behind her back, and wouldn't actually go so far as to carry out some shameless revenge.

But Lin Yuan was different; jealousy made her lose all semblance, to the point where she actually did something like smearing toilet cleaner on Li Jianjia's underwear.

"A shorty? How short?" Liang Lina hurriedly started gossiping, full of curiosity.

"I guess he's a bit over 1.6 meters!"

Lin Yuan said truthfully.

"So short! How did Jianjia find such a boyfriend! She's the aloof goddess in the hearts of all the boys in our class! This is too eye-opening!"

Lan Xiaomeng looked unbelieving, and asked again:

"Lin Yuan, did you get it wrong?"

Lin Yuan said instead:

"Absolutely not wrong; I met them at school today; Li Jianjia was holding that shorty's hand, and she even took the initiative to tell me that he was her boyfriend!"

Liang Lina sighed:

"Such a fine cabbage, actually got rooted by a pig!"

Lin Yuan chimed in:

"Right, right; Li Jianjia really wasted her beauty; her taste is just terrible!"

Lan Xiaomeng asked instead:

"Could he be a rich second-generation or official second-generation, otherwise how would Jianjia take a liking to him?"

Lin Yuan said instead:

"I guess not; she said he was her high school classmate, from her county town; high school classmates—where would there be rich second-generations or official second-generations? Even if there were, at most they'd be the sons of small merchants or small officials in the county town; that doesn't count as rich second-generation or official second-generation!"

"Then why?"

Lan Xiaomeng really couldn't figure it out.

Lin Yuan said:

"Li Jianjia is just stupid, that's all!"

Then she also said:

"I guess her boyfriend is probably just a child from a poor family!"

"You know that too? Did Jianjia tell you about his family background?" Liang Lina asked.

Lin Yuan said:

"She didn't say; I guessed; that shorty is wearing braces; generally, children from families with some economic strength wouldn't have major tooth problems; even if they had problems, they would have been corrected during junior high or high school; how could they wait until university to correct them? Correcting them after university can only mean his family is poor; he probably earned money through work-study to afford the correction!"

Lin Yuan's reasoning actually made some sense.

At least she got half of it right.

Wang Xiao Hu's family had indeed been very poor before.

And his crooked teeth had never been corrected, which was indeed due to his family's poverty.

It wasn't that they were so poor they couldn't afford the money for orthodontics, but that his poor parents had limited cognition, didn't take this matter to heart, and simply never thought of taking him for orthodontics.

"Then why can he become Jianjia's boyfriend?" Lan Xiaomeng became even more unconvinced.

Liang Lina suggested at this time:

"Why not have her bring her boyfriend over tonight to eat together, and we'll vet him for her!"

Lin Yuan said sarcastically:

"Vet what? You say something about them, and they might still hold a grudge against you."

Lan Xiaomeng said instead:

"I think it's fine. Eat a meal together, introduce ourselves to each other. After all, we and Jianjia have been roommates!"

Lin Yuan looked repulsed:

"If you want to call them, call them. Anyway, I won't talk to her."

Liang Lina said instead:

"Why not just tell her in the group chat?"

Lin Yuan rolled her eyes:

"Did you forget? She left the roommate group long ago. I bet they look down on us three and don't want to be with us three!"

Mentioning the matter of Li Jianjia leaving the group, Lan Xiaomeng couldn't help but blame Lin Yuan:

"Jianjia left the group because of you, always saying sarcastic things! Forget it, I'll tell her directly on WeChat!"

After speaking, Lan Xiaomeng sent a WeChat message to Li Jianjia:

"Jianjia, Lina, Lin Yuan, and I are all back at school. I heard you have a boyfriend. Bring him over tonight to eat together? Let the sisters all get to know him~"

Li Jianjia received Lan Xiaomeng's WeChat message, her brow slightly furrowed.

She was thinking about how to refuse.

Because she knew that bringing Wang Xiao Hu to eat would probably result in them gossiping again.

Lan Xiaomeng and Liang Lina were both okay, at least they had some manners and wouldn't say anything too excessive to her face.

But Lin Yuan couldn't guarantee that.

By current judging standards, Lin Yuan was a standard "Fu Shou'er look," clearly the type with a sharp personality who was nitpicky and hard to get along with.

But back then, the term "Fu Shou'er look" didn't exist yet.

However, after thinking it over, Li Jianjia still decided to ask Wang Xiao Hu's opinion:

"Xiao Hua, my roommates said to eat together tonight. Do you want to go? If you don't want to go, we won't go. We'll just stay in the hotel tonight. You're leaving tomorrow, and I want to stay with you a little longer."

Wang Xiao Hu said instead:

"Let's go. After all, they're your roommates. You'll have a long time to get along with them in the future. You can't not give them this face."

University roommates are generally in the same dorm from freshman year to junior year. If Li Jianjia had been living on campus all along, then she and those three roommates indeed still had a long time to get along.

Wang Xiao Hu didn't want Li Jianjia to have too much tension with the three roommates, so he made such a decision.
