The phone had initially some battery left. However, with Ji Nuan checking it frequently, the battery was almost used up.

Although Feng Ling had her earbuds on, her gaze was focused in her direction. She wanted to say something, for Ji Nuan to give a call to Mo Jingshen and for her to stop locking herself in this situation. However, when she saw Ji Nuan’s state, she considered for a moment and finally chose to keep silent.

——

During the weekend, Ling Feifei insisted on treating everyone to a meal. No matter how they tried to refuse, she remained adamant about it. She said that they needed to build their relations; even if it were only for three months, in the future, they would be considered ex-roommates who used to stay together.

“What do you want to eat?” Ling Feifei saw that Bai Wei and Feng Ling were both ignoring her and decided to hold Ji Nuan’s arm to ask.

Ji Nuan originally wanted to avoid her. However, this Ling Feifei held on tightly when she stuck onto someone. Since they needed to live together for two more months, she did not wish to ruin their surface relationship and make things awkward. She did not move much and casually replied, “Anything. Whatever works.”

“There’s a new Italian restaurant near T University. I heard that the boss is a world-famous chef with three Michelin stars. How about I treat you guys to eat in that restaurant today?”

“Sure. Anyway, you’re the one treating. You choose what to eat. I’m fine with anything.” Bai Wei did not care much.

Feng Ling saw that Ji Nuan’s attitude was tolerating and suspected that she only saw Ling Feifei as an immature, spoiled, and wealthy young lady. She was too lazy to fuss about it and could not care much about these things. Since Ji Nuan did not refuse, Feng Ling naturally replied casually, “Anything.”

Receiving everyone’s agreement, Ling Feifei then said, “All right, then it’s agreed. I’ll treat this time. There’s no need to fight for the bill. We’ll do as I said and take turns. Next time, you’ll all have to treat me to a better meal.”

This was the first meal they were having together as roommates after arriving at T University. Although they weren’t enthusiastic about it, they still gave each other some face.

When Ling Feifei treated them, each person spent around a thousand yuan in that Italian restaurant; the four of them ate up to five thousand yuan. This was the consequence of them allowing Ling Feifei to order. They barely ate a lot but spent a lot of money.

The next day was Sunday. Bai Wei returned the favor and treated them all to a famous sushi restaurant. In recent years, sushi was quite popular in the country. The price and quality were unevenly matched, but this place was truly not bad. In the luxurious restaurant, the few of them spent up to six thousand yuan.

Every time they ate, Ling Feifei would be very energetic and would look for topics to chat about. However, no one paid her any attention. She would then shift her sharp words onto Ji Nuan. After all, in her eyes, Ji Nuan was only a small fry. When she was happy, she would hug her elbow and treat her like a roommate. When she was unhappy, she would stab her with words.

However, Bai Wei and Feng Ling would always speak up to protect her. If it had only been Feng Ling protecting Ji Nuan, she would have suspected something about them. However, even Bai Wei would always stand on Ji Nuan’s side. Ling Feifei could not understand; she could only tease occasionally and play it off as a joke.

Right now, Ji Nuan completely did not pay Ling Feifei any mind. She was in no mood to consider her. If it had been based on her original temper, she would definitely have driven Ling Feifei home crying for her parents.

Since she was unimportant, she was too lazy to pay her any mind. In any case, she was only a spoiled, wealthy young lady.

A week later, on Saturday, it was Ji Nuan’s turn to treat.

Ling Feifei, who was sitting in the room, suddenly asked, “What are we eating this week?”

The other three had almost forgotten about the promise. After all, it was only a meal. Who would really remember the rules.

Ling Feifei turned to Ji Nuan: “Ji Nuan, it’s your turn to treat!”

Ji Nuan did not care about these things, treating was unimportant to her. However, after spending a week without contacting Mo Jingshen, without even sharing a single phone call, although she appeared fine, her mood was actually quite heavy. She really could not be interested.

“What do you want to eat?” She carelessly asked.

“We’ve already tasted the food of an Italian Michelin star chef. We’ve also tasted the food from T City’s most famous sushi restaurant. Shall we have seafood this weekend? A while ago, I read online that the quality of raw oysters imported into the country recently is superb. They’re big and delicious. Let’s go have a seafood feast!”

“You’re really opening your mouth wide,” Bai Wei mocked by the side. “Could it be that when you heard about that seafood restaurant from the others several days ago, you were already moved? Did you already plan on having Ji Nuan treat us there?”

Ling Feifei paid her no mind, casually saying, “It’s the one we heard about previously. We’ll go there to eat, how about it?”

Ji Nuan calmly glanced at her. “As you please.”

The prices in that seafood restaurant were not cheap. With the four of them eating and Ling Feifei picking the seafood feast, they would at least spend up to ten thousand yuan.

Although no one was lacking in money in this dormitory, Ling Feifei truly did not know how to live as a commoner. She never ate anything cheaper than a thousand yuan and would always order the most luxurious options or pick the most expensive and beautiful looking food that could not fill anyone’s stomach.

Back when Ji Nuan used to be beyond arrogant, she was only spoiled in the way she interacted with people and did not indulge herself in such a manner.

Seeing that Ji Nuan had no opinions, Bai Wei waved her hands. “You guys decide. I’m fine with anything.”

Feng Ling did not speak but did not refuse.

Finally, they all went to the seafood restaurant that Ling Feifei insisted on.

Although they had agreed to only order the seafood feast, after completing their order, Ling Feifei suddenly expressed that they needed some main dishes as well, that seafood would not fill them up. She tugged the waiter over and ordered a lot more things.

“You sure are capable. This is already a lot of food for us. How much can a few women eat? You’re going to continue ordering?” Bai Wei said.

“I said I wanted to eat oysters, ah. Although their oysters are expensive, they were all air-flown from abroad today. They’re especially fresh. We’ll rarely come here. We have to eat more!” Ling Feifei did not pay her any mind and continued ordering.

The whole time, Feng Ling’s eyes were focused on her phone. Ji Nuan’s phone was placed on the table but she only casually chatted with Bai Wei. Her gaze occasionally shifted onto her phone that had been silent for the whole week. She would then shift it away, glancing toward Ling Feifei who was still speaking to the waiter.

Finally, they finished ordering and all the food was placed on the table. Looking at all the food aside from the seafood feast, Bai Wei could not help ridiculing, “You ordered so much. Finish it if you have the ability.”

“Aren’t there four of us here? Feng Ling trains in martial arts; she must eat a lot, right?” Ling Feifei turned to Feng Ling.

Feng Ling did not even raise her eyes as she said coldly, “I’m allergic to seafood. You guys eat. I’ll just order a bowl of noodles.”

Ling Feifei: “…”

Bai Wei immediately shifted her gaze onto Ling Feifei who was placed on the spot, mocking, “Remember to finish the food clean. It’s not right if there’s too much left.”

Anyone could tell that she was intentionally going against Ji Nuan. She ordered so much food even though she clearly would not be able to finish it.

The consequence was that they really could not finish it.

Not just the extra things that they ordered, even the seafood feast was only half-eaten.

The whole time, Bai Wei fixed her ridiculing gaze on Ling Feifei. Ling Feifei coughed once and did not speak.

“Are you all full?” As the one who was treating, Ji Nuan did not eat much. She drank a sip of juice and asked calmly.

“I’m full, but there’s so much food left. It’s such a waste,” Bai Wei said.

“It’s fine. Things like seafood cannot be taken away. There’s nothing to be done about the remaining food,” Ji Nuan calmly said and stood up to settle the bill.

Ling Feifei truly did not have good intentions. All of the things she had added on were even more expensive than the seafood feast.

Who would have thought that these four women with small appetites would be able to spend up to twenty thousand yuan for a meal in a seafood restaurant?

Even someone like Mo Jingshen, whose status was priceless, was not as ridiculous as they had been. Whenever he brought Ji Nuan out to eat, he always picked what she liked and never checked the price. Fifty yuan, a few hundred yuan, a few thousand yuan, they had it all. The most important was the cleanliness and taste of the food.

Ji Nuan truly experienced something new today. However, even if this seafood restaurant were costly, the prices would never go up so high. If Ling Feifei had not intentionally ordered various expensive dishes, the cost would never exceed twenty thousand yuan.

Ji Nuan first headed to the bathroom. When she exited and was about to settle the bill, she saw that Ling Feifei had come out as well.

Seeing that Ji Nuan did not immediately settle the bill, Ling Feifei appeared to find it amusing as she said, “It seems like we really ordered too much today. It must be quite expensive, isn’t it? Did you bring enough money? Is there sufficient balance in your card?”

Ji Nuan glanced at her. “When you were ordering, you didn’t seem to consider whether or not I would have sufficient money. Right now, are you planning to pay for me?”

Ling Feifei immediately laughed mockingly: “We promised that you would pay today. I’ve already treated once. How is it logical for me to treat twice? If you can’t pay, how about discussing with the restaurant boss to see if you can have an outstanding account?”

Ling Feifei then laughed as she carried her purse to wait by the exit. She obviously did not wish to stand with Ji Nuan in case she really asked for an outstanding account and caused both of them to lose face.

Bai Wei, who had stepped out from behind, heard their words and approached to ask, “Ji Nuan, do you really have enough money?”

Ji Nuan smiled: “Don’t worry. Go outside and wait for me.”

Bai Wei wanted to offer to pay for Ji Nuan first, but when she saw that Ji Nuan’s expression appeared fine, she did not try to meddle further. However, she still gave her a few concerned looks.

The waiter by the counter heard their exchange and was also eyeing Ji Nuan suspiciously. “Miss, you can’t really want an outstanding account, right? We don’t do that here. If you don’t have money, it’s better to ask your friends to pay…”

Before he could finish speaking, he was shut up by the card Ji Nuan carelessly placed on the counter.

Twenty thousand yuan was not actually a lot of money. However, Ling Feifei’s earlier unkind words led the waiter to assume that Ji Nuan did not have much money. When he saw the card she presented, he immediately recognized that this card could only be obtained by those with at least five million yuan in their account. Losing the courage to speak further, he quickly swiped the card and settled the bill.

Ji Nuan initially planned to pay with the black card she had received from Mo Jingshen; she was already used to paying with that card.

However, right now, she placed the black card aside and brought out the card that belonged to her.

After the bill was settled, Feng Ling approached to take a look. “For people like Ling Feifei, someone should find the time to cover her head with a sack and toss her into a corner for a good beating. Otherwise, she’ll forever remain dumb and naive, and have an inflated ego.”

Ji Nuan smiled. “I won’t stop you if you wish to beat her, but you better wait for my classes to end before doing anything. Back then, Professor Lin reminded me not to fuss too much with these rich children. If he hadn’t given me a heads-up, on the very first day, I would have already made Ling Feifei regret staying in the same room as me.”

Ji Nuan was not someone who would endure these sorts of grievances; her methods were not simple either. As Feng Ling understood this, when she watched Ji Nuan’s recent ability to tolerate, she could not help but wonder if her relationship with Mo Jingshen had affected her emotions. She actually allowed such a small character to hop around her as she pleased.

After leaving the seafood restaurant, Ling Feifei was not surprised that Ji Nuan had settled the bill. She suspected that Bai Wei and Feng Ling must have paid some for her and maintained her arrogance as she walked away. With her attitude, it was as though the three people behind her were her lackeys.

Before returning to T University, they passed by a large departmental store. On the first floor, the store had a high-end gown shop. Ling Feifei suddenly said, “Oh yes, right before we finish our studies, we’ll be able to attend T University’s one hundredth anniversary celebration. Have you all prepared your gowns?”

Bai Wei calmly replied: “There are still two more months before the celebration. Why are you in a rush?”

“Since there is a shop here, let’s go in for a look.” Ling Feifei acted on her own accord and stepped in.

Feng Ling had already lost all patience for this wealthy young lady. She knitted her brows as she stood by the entrance. However, because they had all came out together, and this place was still a distance away from T University, they all followed in.

Women were naturally born without defenses against things like gowns. Initially, Bai Wei was uninterested, but after discovering that the gowns here were truly not bad, she began looking around with Ling Feifei.

An employee placed several cups of water on the coffee table by the couch. Feng Ling sat on the sofa without moving, while Bai Wei and Ling Feifei left for another area with high-quality gowns on display.

The waiter by the counter heard their exchange and was also eyeing Ji Nuan suspiciously. “Miss, you can’t really want an outstanding account, right? We don’t do that here. If you don’t have money, it’s better to ask your friends to pay…”
