After Tang Yuanyuan’s head was knocked on, she stroked her head and put on an aggrieved expression.
“I just forgot about it.”
“I’ll see if I have time to send it to you tonight.”
“No need, Yishu. I’ll buy it when I’m free.”
Meng Kefei said considerately, “I have two bottles of sunscreen. She can use mine.”
“You heard that? Kefei has the sunscreen. I’ll just share it with her.”
Looking at the carefree girl before his eyes, Yuchi Yishu heaved a sigh and stroked her head again. “Don’t get sunburned.”
“Okay.”
When Zhong Chufeng left, he said, “Sigh. Yuanyuan, we’ve just met up for a short time, but I have to leave you now. Yishu and I will visit you more often when we’re free.”
With that, he wanted to stroke Tang Yuanyuan’s head as well. However, as soon as he extended his hand, he received a glacial stare from Yuchi Yishu. In that instant, he changed his direction and placed his hand on Meng Kefei’s head instead.
“Kefei, please don’t get sunburned as well.”
Zhong Chufeng directly messed up her hair.
Meng Kefei was startled at first. When she came to her senses, she flushed, lowered her gaze, and couldn’t utter a word.
“Let’s go.”
After they walked out of the room, the guys who helped carry the luggage for Zhang Xiaolu and Yuan Yuehan left as well.
When all the guys had left, Meng Kefei’s face remained red.
When Tang Yuanyuan cocked her head and saw that Meng Kefei had flushed, she asked curiously, “Kefei, why is your face so red?”
Meng Kefei’s face became redder when she heard that. “N-Nothing.”
Zhang Xiaolu, who was tidying her things up, turned around and shot her a funny look.
“Just a stroke on your head is enough to make your face so red. Did you not have any bodily touch with guys before?”
Yuan Yuehan chimed in, “Yeah. Have you never had a boyfriend before?”
Tang Yuanyuan and Meng Kefei hit puberty later, and they weren’t as mature as other girls of the same age. Meng Kefei was normal-looking. While Tang Yuanyuan was cute, her body shape had cost her many potential admirers. Although some guys had passed her love letters before, they never ended up together with her.
Therefore, they never had any boyfriend before.
Moreover, Tang Yuanyuan’s mother had said that she was too young and shouldn’t find a boyfriend too early.
Tang Yuanyuan was obedient, and she didn’t think that boys were better than delicious food. She was a foodie after all.
Meng Kefei shook her head in embarrassment. “No. Do you have a boyfriend?”
Zhang Xiaolu snorted, “I’m sixteen. Of course I have a boyfriend.”
Yuan Yuehan sneered, “We have many admirers.”
Hearing that, Meng Kefei pressed her lips together and remained silent. Her face wasn’t as red as before.
In the afternoon, the girls took a rest in the dormitory. After Zhang Xiaolu received a call, she suggested, “Why don’t we go out to have lunch? We can go shopping after that.”
Yuan Yuehan languidly nodded. Suddenly thinking of something, she said, “Tell Tang Yuanyuan to come along as well.”
With an ulterior motive, they agreed to this suggestion.
When Tang Yuanyuan was invited, she felt that the new roommates were very kind. Therefore, she agreed to it and inquired, “Can Kefei come along?”
Hearing that, Zhang Xiaolu pressed her lips together. “Why? Are you close to her?”
“Of course. Kefei is my best friend.”
Yuan Yuehan waved her hand. “Alright, tell her to come along.”
When Tang Yuanyuan told Meng Kefei about it, the latter didn’t really want to go out. Upon Tang Yuanyuan’s insistence, she finally agreed to it.
The girls went out for lunch. Zhang Xiaolu and Yuan Yuehan chose a high-end restaurant and ordered steaks.
Meng Kefei’s family wasn’t wealthy, therefore her parents had never brought her to have steak before. Moreover, she rarely went out to have meals with other girls at school before. Facing the steak, she didn’t know how she should handle it.
Seeing that, Zhang Xiaolu mocked her silently. Yuan Yuehan couldn’t help ridiculing, “Meng Kefei, have you never come to such a restaurant before?”
When Tang Yuanyuan saw that, she pushed her plate of cut steak to Meng Kefei. “Kefei, you’ll have mine. Pass me yours.”
Meng Kefei hung her head low under the attention of Zhang Xiaolu and Yuan Yuehan.
“Yuanyuan, thanks.”
Zhang Xiaolu and Yuan Yuehan could see that Tang Yuanyuan skillfully and elegantly cut the steak. Her clothes and her brother’s bearing suggested that she was from a wealthy family.
“Yuanyuan, how old is your brother? He isn’t from our school, right?”
Tang Yuanyuan gulped down her drink to cool herself down and answered slowly, “No, he isn’t. He is a sophomore at a police academy.”
“Wow, then your brother must be older than you by a few years.”
“Yes, he’s older than me by four years.”
Suddenly thinking of something, Zhang Xiaolu questioned probingly, “Your brother is a sophomore. Does he have a girlfriend?”
Hearing that, Yuan Yuehan shot her a look without saying a word.
“No, my brother has always been single.”
“How about the guy beside your brother? Is he your brother as well?”
“No, he’s my brother’s good friend, Zhong Chufeng.”
“Oh yes, what’s your brother’s name?”
“His name is Yuchi Yishu.”
“Yuchi Yishu?” When Zhang Xiaolu heard that name, she realized something. Isn’t he Tang Yuanyuan’s brother? Why don’t they share the same surname? Are they not biological siblings?
Zhang Xiaolu and Yuan Yuehan traded glances. Eventually, Yuan Yuehan inquired, “Why is your brother’s surname Yuchi?”
Many girls asked Tang Yuanyuan this question before. She just thought that they were curious about her brother’s unusual surname.
“Isn’t that a wonderful surname? Yuchi isn’t the surname of my mother or father. It belongs to my grandfather.”
Why don’t her grandfather and father share the same surname? It sounds complicated. Could it be that the relationship within her family is complicated? Well, it’s true that the love-hate relationship within a wealthy family is beyond anyone’s imagination. Maybe they don’t even share the same father.
“I’m sure your brother is very good to you.”
“Yes, he’s been very good to me since young.”
After lunch, Zhang Xiaolu suggested that they should go shopping. Meng Kefei pulled Tang Yuanyuan to the side and whispered, “Yuanyuan, I’m tired. Can we not go shopping and go back?”
Tang Yuanyuan had always seen Meng Kefei as her best friend. When she heard that the latter was tired, she nodded in agreement. “Okay, don’t go shopping then. I’ll tell Xiaolu about it.”
Hearing that, Zhang Xiaolu and Yuan Yuehan shot Meng Kefei a look.
“If you’re tired, you can go back on your own. I’ll pay for your taxi fare.”
