It had to be said that Qi Xiaofang was actually quite sensible.
Once she had figured these things out, she was much calmer than she had been yesterday when she suddenly found herself in a new environment, her mood unsettled by Yin Ruyun's ambiguous suggestions.
Qi Xiaofang had thought a lot during this day and night.
Although she hadn't asked all her dorm mates individually, she could basically confirm that they were all from the city.
As a girl from the countryside, she was an anomaly among them.
It seemed only natural that Yin Ruyun looked down on her.
Thinking of this, Qi Xiaofang clenched her fist.
It was fine to be looked down upon; the most important thing was to have self-respect.
Even if she ate a lot, what of it?
As long as she didn't constantly think about eating what belonged to others, she didn't need to worry about being looked down upon.
Su Xiaotian didn't have much of an ill feeling towards Qi Xiaofang.
After all, Su Xiaotian had seen many people like Qi Xiaofang in the countryside before.
She was just a little bit greedy for small advantages. You couldn't really call such a person truly evil.
Therefore, even when she saw Qi Xiaofang in the cafeteria, Su Xiaotian had no intention of going up to greet her.
After a busy day, Su Xiaotian had walked a lot, and her legs still felt sore and weak.
After a hurried meal, Su Xiaotian didn't want to talk to Chi Yiyuan much longer and planned to return to the dormitory to rest.
Chi Yiyuan felt sorry for the little girl working so hard.
He really didn't understand why this girl had to go through so much trouble.
Although the Su family's current capabilities couldn't allow her to live like a spoiled rich kid, it was still possible for her to be a student without distractions.
But the little girl was always thinking about how to make money.
"You have class tomorrow morning, do you want me to accompany you to the classroom?" Chi Yiyuan said, still feeling uneasy.
Su Xiaotian hadn't had time to look around the school today, so she hadn't even figured out the direction of her own classroom.
But it didn't matter if she didn't figure it out; there were several people in the dormitory, and surely someone would know the way.
She didn't need Chi Yiyuan to send her specifically.
She, an undeveloped young girl, going to school, could imagine the kind of attention it would attract.
Coupled with Chi Yiyuan, a dazzling Buddha, appearing together.
"I'll go with the others in the dorm,"
Su Xiaotian said, waving her hand, thinking of Chi Yiyuan being stared at by countless infatuated girls, and herself being resented by countless infatuated girls.
Chi Yiyuan gave a wry smile. Forget it, since the little girl didn't allow it, he wouldn't send her.
Anyway, the school was so big, she wouldn't get lost.
As they were talking, they walked out of the cafeteria.
At the entrance of the cafeteria, Qi Xiaofang had just finished washing her lunchbox and was coming out of the water room, coincidentally bumping into Chi Yiyuan and Su Xiaotian.
Su Xiaotian originally thought that Qi Xiaofang wouldn't greet her proactively, so she didn't intend to force a greeting.
However, she didn't expect Qi Xiaofang not to greet her, but to give her a smile.
Su Xiaotian was taken aback for a moment before returning the smile.
But their connection was ultimately shallow, and after the smile, there were no other words.
Although Su Xiaotian repeatedly asked Chi Yiyuan to go back and rest, Chi Yiyuan insisted on escorting Su Xiaotian to the dormitory building.
Qi Xiaofang did not approach Su Xiaotian proactively, but followed Su Xiaotian at a distance, for a stretch of the way.
But even for that short distance, it was only a few steps.
Thus, Su Xiaotian and Qi Xiaofang returned to the dormitory one after the other.
Seeing them come in together, Chu Yue was surprised.
Why was Xiaotian with Qi Xiaofang?
"Xiaotian, why are you back so late? If you weren't back, I would have suspected you were lost!" Zhao Hongmei teased with a laugh.
Su Xiaotian said playfully, "How could someone as smart as me get lost? If you got lost, I wouldn't!"
Zhao Hongmei laughed heartily.
Su Xiaotian noticed that the last two beds in the dormitory had been made, and it seemed that the last two roommates had also arrived.
"Our new roommates are here?"
"Yes!" Dong Yanan said with a smile, "They came this afternoon and are out for dinner now. Perhaps you saw them in the cafeteria."
"Even if I saw them, I wouldn't recognize them!" Su Xiaotian said with a smile.
In fact, the cafeteria was so large, and there was more than one cafeteria, so the chance of meeting was very small.
Qi Xiaofang still didn't speak, she just quietly picked up her toiletries and went to the water room to wash up.
"Xiaotian, don't you think Qi Xiaofang is acting strange today?"
Dong Yanan found it odd; she hadn't heard Qi Xiaofang speak all day.
Dong Yanan's personality was actually very gentle. From the moment she first saw Qi Xiaofang, she actually wanted to help her.
Dong Yanan had seen the look in the girl's eyes when she first entered the room very clearly.
It was a look of inferiority from being in a strange place.
Dong Yanan had seen such a look on her elder sister, Dong Yannan, who had returned from the countryside two years ago.
Therefore, at that moment, Dong Yanan felt a sense of empathy for Qi Xiaofang.
The other people didn't know about Dong Yanan's feelings, and she hadn't voiced them herself.
"Who knows? I can't figure Qi Xiaofang out," Zhao Hongmei said indifferently.
This was just how she was. If their paths didn't align, they wouldn't associate. If they could chat, they would; if not, then so be it.
She hadn't expected to get along with everyone in the dormitory, and it was normal to have a few people she didn't get along with.
"Did you guys go to see the classrooms today?"
After a few playful remarks, Su Xiaotian also prepared to wash up. As she picked up her washbasin, she suddenly remembered this question and asked.
"Yes, yes, don't worry, we'll definitely get you to the classroom safely tomorrow,"
Zhao Hongmei said heartily, and took out her basin from under the bed.
Chu Yue and Dong Yanan also joined in, wanting to go wash up together.
When Yin Ruyun entered, she saw the scene of four people chatting and laughing as they carried their toiletries to the water room.
Yin Ruyun was not happy about this, but she controlled her emotions.
"You're back so early?"
Although she used the plural, her gaze was fixed only on Su Xiaotian, clearly indicating that she was speaking to Su Xiaotian.
After the chance encounter today, Su Xiaotian had no desire to engage with Yin Ruyun.
Since she wasn't asking about her, Su Xiaotian simply didn't reply.
Dong Yanan nodded and said, "Yes, we came back a bit earlier. We plan to wash up and then read for a while."
After seeing Su Xiaotian using a desk lamp to read yesterday, the few of them had actually bought desk lamps when they went out today.
However, what everyone didn't expect was that not only Zhao Hongmei and the others turned on their desk lamps and started reading in their beds, but Qi Xiaofang also took out a desk lamp.
Desk lamps were actually a scarce commodity at this time, and their prices were not low.
But Qi Xiaofang still bought a desk lamp today.
She mainly felt that she had to seize the time to study diligently and not waste time.
Her family had sent her to university so she could have rice to eat, not to waste time at university.
Just as a few people were preparing to read, the door was pushed open again.
