Chapter 6: You can have it all to yourself
Ning Qing tightened her shoelaces, looked up and saw Zhou Ling and the others already standing by the roadside, waiting for her to cross the road together. Just as she stood up, a voice came from behind her, "Beautiful girl, beautiful girl, is this gold chain yours?" A woman stood beside her, picking up a glittering gold chain from the ground.
A middle-aged woman dressed plainly, with a warm and gentle smile, holding a gold chain in her hand that shone with an alluring luster.
Ning Qingmo couldn't help but laugh a little. This trick had fooled many greedy people back then, but after a few years, it became well-known to everyone.
Seeing Zhou Ling turn around, Ning Qing hurriedly waved her hand to the middle-aged woman and said: "It wasn't me who dropped it." As she spoke, she quickly took a few steps forward, catching up with Zhou Ling and the others.
The middle-aged woman did not give up, chasing after her and smiling: "Pretty girl, since we both saw this chain together, whoever sees it gets a share, let's divide it equally!"
"Auntie, you can have it all to yourself!" Ning Qing said with a smile.
The middle-aged woman saw Zhou Ling originally had a companion, so she didn't dare to follow up and turned her head to run hastily.
Xiao Yeshe and Jiang Mingzhi understood the situation and couldn't help but laugh. Xiao Yeshe laughed and said, "Ning Qingmin, you're so funny when you talk, why don't you usually speak?"
"She doesn't talk much to people she's not familiar with, but once she gets to know them better, she has a lot to say." Zhou Ling smiled as he helped Ning Qingming clarify.
After eating McDonald's, Xiao Ye Sheng and Jiang Ming Zhi went back first. Zhou Ling accompanied Ning Qing Min to buy a pair of jeans, a skirt, and two T-shirts. She bought a pair of high heels for herself.
Looking at Ning Qingming with a handful of things, Zhou Ling asked worriedly: "You bought so many things at once, won't you overspend? Is this month's living expenses enough?"
Ning Qing smiled and said: "I have pocket money!"
Zhou Lingdi's grandmother and Ning Qingmin's grandmother are cousins. They know everything about Ning Qingmin's affairs. They are quite worried about her financial problems.
Back to the dormitory. Another roommate, Mo Xiaohong, came up and flipped through Ning Qingmin's new clothes. She said with a smile: "Qingmin, it's been over a month since we've been in the same dormitory. This is the first time I've seen you splurge on buying clothes!" After looking at the clothes, she sighed and said: "Usually your clothes are too tacky. But this time, you have a good taste. Having a beauty as an advisor makes a difference."
"What's wrong with that? It was my own decision to buy this land. It has nothing to do with Zhou Ling, okay?" Ning Qingming glared at Mo Xiaohong. "You only dare to say that my old clothes are tacky now that you see me wearing new ones. You really can tolerate a lot."
"It's fine as long as you understand. It's fine as long as you understand!" Zhou Ling mediated. He asked on the side, "Where did Mei Mei go?"
"Off to the bookstore to rent books!" Mo Xiao Hong blinked. "I heard that a new batch of Xiyue Di's books has arrived. She rushed off."
Ning Qingmin came out of the shower, wearing a new pair of jeans and a white T-shirt, and asked Zhou Ling in a low voice, "Is it okay?"
"Simple and generous, quite spirited!" Zhou Ling looked him up and down, smiling and saying: "You haven't even washed yet, and you're already wearing it."
"No time to wash!" Ning Qingmin stood in front of the mirror, looking a bit dazed. Tonight, Guo Shangliang would be appearing, and she absolutely couldn't wear anything dull and dusty-looking - this was their first meeting after all.
"Is anyone there?"
A sound came from outside the door, and the person knocking on the door was clearly using their foot. The "bang bang" sound came from under the dormitory door, shaking the wind chime hanging above the door to make a crisp, delicate sound.
Ning Qing's heart was racing, her palms were sweating, she quickly walked back to her own desk and sat down, glanced at the clock, it seemed that Guo Shangliang would come a bit later. After calming down slightly, she finally heard that the voice outside the door sounded like Sun Dangwen, a classmate of hers.
"The lights are all on, of course there's someone! You're asking a rhetorical question!" Mo Xiao Hong opened the dormitory door and let the three boys in. At a glance, she saw that one of the boys, Lin Jun Guan, was holding a bag of roasted chicken wings. She couldn't help but exclaim: "I'm so hungry, just thinking about finding something to eat, you guys came at the right time!"
"I knew you were hungry, so we brought it over! Sun Dangwen smiled and replied with a smile, while spreading his hands, "I won't resist, come on, beauties!"
Mo Xiao Hong pushed him away with one hand and took over the chicken wings that Lin Jun Guan was holding, blinking and saying: "Thanks!"
Another boy, Lu Yang, squeezed forward and said: "After all the trouble of bringing chicken wings, there's only one sentence of thanks, that's it!"
"It's not like you mentioned it, what are you arguing about?" Mo Xiao Hong gave him a white eye and looked at the more refined Lin Jun Guan saying: "I only thank Jun Guan classmate who brought things!"
"What's up, have you taken a liking to our Jun Guan?" Lu Yang said with a smile, pulling out a chair and sitting down.
Mo Xiao Hong ignored him, dividing the chicken wings between Ning Qing Min and Zhou Ling who had just finished bathing, and threw the remaining chicken wing along with a white plastic bag onto Wu Mei Mei's desk saying: "Mei Mei has been out for a long time and still hasn't come back!"
Lu Yang had just sat down when he saw a bottle of facial cleanser on Wu Mei's desk. He picked it up and said, "Wow, Mei Mei last time she came to our dormitory, said she never uses facial cleanser. This bottle is half empty, isn't it for washing her face?"
"Are you not giving it to people for washing their hands?" Sun Dangwen interrupted, "Or perhaps, for washing their buttocks?"
"Go! A dog's mouth can't spit out elephant tusks!" Xiaohong picked up the leftover chicken bones and made a gesture to throw them at him, "You'd better be careful, or we'll teach Meimei to hate you to death!"
"There's love because of hatred, what I'm most afraid of is that you guys don't hate or love me, just like you said, bland and tasteless!" Sun Dangwen made a pitiful gesture.
Several girls whispered to him, looking at each other after finishing eating chicken wings, and then asked: "Who paid for this?"
"After eating, I'll ask if you have yours!" Sun Dangsheng continued to read the instructions on Meimei's facial cleanser, saying: "After washing, the skin is white and smooth...". He had only read a few sentences when he burst out laughing and said: "It seems that washing this has no effect. Meimei's skin is not related to whiteness and smoothness."
"You're dead, you! Meimei's skin is a bit poor because of acne lately. You know that if you say this to her, she really won't talk to you." Mo Xiaohong said while looking at the chicken wings on Meimei's desk. "Meimei has acne, it's probably not suitable for her to eat barbecue, I'll just eat it for her instead." While saying so, she reached out and took a bite of the chicken wing, ignoring everyone's gaze, and continued eating.
"I think I understand why you're fatter than the other three. It's like that, huh!" Lu Yang looked at Mo Xiao Hong and nodded with a sigh.
"I'm just a little plump, what's with the 'fat' and 'fat', how unpleasant!" Mo Xiao Hong said while gnawing on chicken wings, speaking unclearly.
"You've eaten her delicious chicken wings, be careful when she comes back to scold!" Zhou Ling reminded with good intentions.
"Hey, she might not even thank me for getting rid of this acne-causing menace for her!"
The words had just fallen when Wu Meimei's voice came from outside the door: "Who said that?"
Wu Meimei pushed open the door, exchanged a greeting with several boys, and then looked at Mo Xiaohong and said: "Quickly return my chicken wings!"
"Alright, I'll return it to you later!" Mo Xiao Hong hastily finished the remaining food, "I'm going to the toilet, to pull it out and return it to you!"
"Mo Xiaohong, you're so disgusting!" Wu Meimei rushed towards Mo Xiaohong, raising her hand to hit her. Mo Xiaohong quickly hid behind Sun Dangwen's back. Amidst the commotion, the wind chime hanging on the doorframe started ringing. Zhou Ling hastily whispered, "Quiet down, it seems like someone is knocking at the door."
"Knock knock", someone rapped on the door with the back of their hand, with a somewhat careless tone. A magnetic voice sounded from outside the door: "Excuse me, does Ning Qingmin live here?"
