Eating with strangers would definitely be awkward.
Otherwise, Xiao Tian would have invited them earlier.
The other two, who had similar thoughts to Dong Yan'an, agreed.
That boy looked like he kept people at a distance, clearly not someone easy to get along with!
"It's just that there were no other seats, so I came to invite you to join us. Besides, if you didn't come, Yin Ruyun and the other two would probably say they were joining us to make room for you."
Su Xiao Tian whispered to the three of them.
Yin Ruyun was truly thick-skinned; she might actually say something like that.
Su Xiao Tian didn't want to give Yin Ruyun any opportunity.
Zhao Hong Mei looked towards Su Xiao Tian's seat.
She indeed saw Yin Ruyun standing by Su Xiao Tian's table, saying something to the cold-looking boy with a wronged expression.
What was there to say between two strangers?
Was Yin Ruyun not after Su Xiao Tian, but after that boy?
They were all grown girls, and their intentions were obvious.
But couldn't Yin Ruyun see that he was clearly keeping his distance?
Moreover, had Yin Ruyun forgotten the conflict with Xiao Tian in the dorm just now?
After causing such a scene in the dorm, shouldn't she have restrained herself?
Why was she going over there again for no reason?
This woman, what was she even thinking?
"Then shall we go sit together?" Zhao Hong Mei asked.
The other two considered for a moment and agreed.
If they didn't eat in the cafeteria, they would have to take their food back to the dorm.
It wasn't very convenient.
It was better to just go with Su Xiao Tian.
As for the cold-looking boy, he probably agreed to Xiao Tian doing this!
As the three followed Su Xiao Tian over, they suddenly saw Yin Ruyun run away covering her face!
Her white dress fluttered as she ran, giving her a look of pitiable beauty.
What was going on?
The three stopped in their tracks.
At the same time, Ai Yu from another table immediately stood up and chased after her.
However, before leaving, she didn't forget to glare fiercely at Chi Yi Yuan.
As for Chi Yi Yuan himself, he seemed to not have noticed at all.
The two dishes and one soup had already been served. He watched them silently, not picking up his chopsticks, but waiting for Su Xiao Tian to return.
As for Yin Ruyun, who had run out because of his words, he didn't even think to look at her.
Over the past year, many girls had tried to strike up conversations with him at school, and this was how he dealt with them.
He hoped this one would be a little more sensible and not force him to say anything harsher.
Su Xiao Tian and the others saw Yin Ruyun run out, but pretended not to notice.
As they passed Yin Ruyun's table, they saw Qi Xiaofang still sitting there eating peacefully, seemingly unfazed by Yin Ruyun's departure.
Everyone was surprised. After all, they were eating together. If Yin Ruyun ran off, Qi Xiaofang should at least go check, out of politeness!
Little did they know, for Qi Xiaofang, nothing was more important than eating.
Once she started eating, Qi Xiaofang wouldn't stop. No matter how big the incident, she would only deal with it after finishing her meal.
For this reason, she had been scolded many times at home.
But even if she was scolded, Qi Xiaofang never took it to heart, and the next time, it was the same!
Qi Xiaofang, who was eating heartily, didn't even notice her roommates coming over.
She was shoveling white rice into her mouth.
At home, because she ate so much, she never had plain white rice. This meal was the most satisfying she had ever had.
Since she was enjoying it so much, her appetite would naturally increase. Qi Xiaofang felt that this amount of food was not quite enough.
She looked up towards the serving area, considering whether to get another portion of rice to continue eating.
It was at this moment that she realized her two dining companions were gone.
But Qi Xiaofang, focused on eating, didn't pay much attention to it.
After Su Xiao Tian brought her roommates over, she smiled and introduced them one by one to Chi Yi Yuan.
"Brother Yi Yuan, these are my three roommates. This is Zhao Hong Mei, this is Dong Yan'an, and this is Chu Yue, whom I've already met today."
Chi Yi Yuan always smiled at Su Xiao Tian. At this moment, a rare smile appeared on his face.
Since they were roommates Su Xiao Tian was willing to bring over, they must be on good terms. He had already met this girl named Chu Yue today, and she seemed to have a cheerful personality.
Fortunately, not everyone in this dorm was as disgusting as that "Yun" person. Otherwise, he would really have to consider changing Su Xiao Tian's dorm or letting Su Xiao Tian live elsewhere.
It was too much to bear!
"Hello, I'm Xiao Tian's... uh, brother. Xiao Tian is young, so I'll have to trouble you all to take good care of her in the future."
Chi Yi Yuan stood up, tall and graceful, with a gentle smile on his face as he spoke to the three of them.
Chi Yi Yuan's voice was the kind that was very pleasant to listen to, as they would say in later generations, a voice that could make ears pregnant.
The three girls were at the age of budding romance. It would be false if they didn't feel anything upon hearing such a voice.
However, the three also knew very well that such a boy was likely not someone they could aspire to.
After all, how could one long for a god in the heavens?
"You're too kind. Are you also a student at Beijing University?"
Chu Yue, having seen Chi Yi Yuan for the second time, took the initiative to speak.
"Yes, I'm a sophomore this year!" After Chi Yi Yuan finished speaking, he added, "Please sit down first, I'll be right back!"
Seeing Su Xiao Tian bring the three girls over, Chi Yi Yuan felt that two dishes were too few.
He went to the counter again and ordered two more dishes, specifically asking for them to be prepared a bit faster.
Seeing Chi Yi Yuan like this, the three girls were excited.
"Xiao Tian, is this your biological brother? You siblings have such high颜值 (yan zhi - appearance value)."
Dong Yan'an said with envy and jealousy.
Her own appearance was, at best, plain and pretty. Therefore, she envied those with outstanding natural beauty the most.
Some things could be achieved through one's own efforts, but some things were determined from birth and couldn't be changed.
Dong Yan'an even felt inferior at times, which was why she focused all her energy on her studies, ultimately excelling and being admitted to Beijing University, becoming the pride of her family.
"He's not my biological brother, but we grew up together. He saved me when we were little, and our families are very close!" Su Xiao Tian replied with a smile.
The three girls immediately started teasing, saying that he was a childhood sweetheart brother, and so on.
But such a cheerful atmosphere came to an abrupt halt when Chi Yi Yuan returned.
They were still somewhat afraid of Chi Yi Yuan!
