Recently, Yao An has been very busy.
Morning exercises, skincare, classes, stock selection, and she also had to research various cases of media companies signing ordinary people.
This was to avoid becoming an ignorant girl and being deceived by a black-hearted company.
After several rounds of discussion, the performance she and Chen Tian were going to put on was finally decided.
Cai Da School Beauty was already the head of the broadcasting station, and with Yu Huai, the vice president of the Student Union, backing her.
Therefore, the selected program was smoothly arranged into the evening gala program list, and they were even given a very good performance slot.
It must be said that in today's society, connections can indeed reduce a lot of trouble.
Yao An practiced once in her spare time, and with the system, the singing part was naturally not a problem.
The main problem was that the dance Chen Tian chose was a bit complicated, and the two still needed to further cooperate and gradually adjust their movements to be consistent.
They finally made it to Saturday.
Today, Yang Jiajia and Han Wenjing were going to the Bund to see the Oriental Pearl Tower and stroll along the pedestrian street.
As a city with no off-peak tourist season, Shanghai's Bund is usually packed with people on Saturdays and Sundays. Yao An and Tian Yuan had both visited this city several times, so they weren't interested in this kind of ironman triathlon.
It was poor Wu Tong, the local, who was forcibly dragged away by Yang Jiajia to be a tour guide. By the end of the day, her legs would probably be a size thinner from exhaustion.
Before leaving, Yang Jiajia expressed her disdain for the two unsociable lazybones.
"The weather is so good today, and you two are actually going to waste such a good time cooped up in the dorm. You're clearly 18-year-old girls, but you look less energetic than the old men and women strolling in the park. Don't you feel ashamed?"
"When I ask you to go for a morning run with me, it's either windy or rainy, but as soon as I mention going out to play, you suddenly get energetic. What? Is losing weight not as important as spending money, is that it?"
Yao An, who was hiding her beautiful body in her comfortable quilt, retorted to this double-standard girl.
"Hmph, too lazy to bother with you."
Yang Jiajia definitely couldn't win an argument with Yao An. Everyone had pretty much figured out that some people appear to be icebergs on the surface, but if you cut them open, their hearts are black.
At 12 PM, Tian Yuan, unable to resist her hunger, temporarily gave up maintaining forum order and decided to deal with the Chen Tian fan club after a good meal.
"An'an, want to go out for lunch? After lunch, we can go to the supermarket to buy some snacks to bring back."
"No, even if I starve to death today, even if I jump from the fourth floor, I won't get out of bed a single step."
Tomorrow, she had to go to Xingyue Company to outwit and outmaneuver the sharp-witted, so Yao An gave herself a day off. Today, no morning run, no washing her face, and she didn't even want to get out of bed to go to the bathroom.
She just wanted to be embedded in the bed and sleep until the end of time.
"Are you about to get your period? Otherwise, why would you be so tired?"
"My period should be around the 20-something, so it's still a few days away."
"Then do you feel any breast tenderness or swelling?"
"Seems like a little."
"Then that's it. Your period is probably going to be early."
Yao An unconsciously rubbed the soft mass on her chest, feeling that useful postures, no, useful knowledge, had increased again.
"Given that you're not feeling well, I'll reluctantly run an errand. What do you want to eat?"
"Hmm... I want claypot rice, and a pork floss bun, and a cup of strawberry fruit tea."
"Can your bird-like stomach eat so much?"
"But I want to eat all of it, what should I do?"
Just as the two were talking, there was a knock on the dorm door.
"Who is it? Visiting at noon."
Tian Yuan mumbled, then shuffled in her slippers to open the door.
After opening the door, she was visibly stunned for a moment.
"You... who are you looking for?"
"Excuse me, does Yao An live in this dorm?"
Yao An, who was nestled in her quilt sending messages to Jiang Jingya, was startled when she heard the voice.
She propped herself up to look outside, but the door was blocking her view, so she could only ask inquiringly.
"Xiao Ya?"
The next moment, a bright and charming head peeked in from outside the door, her peach blossom eyes slyly winking at Yao An, who was sitting blankly on the upper bunk.
Who else could it be but Jiang Jingya?
"Little fox, aren't you surprised, aren't you unexpected?"
"Ah! Weren't you not coming?"
Yao An, unable to control her volume, shrieked, then quickly got out of bed, ran barefoot to the door, and scooped up Little Cake.
"You two... know each other?"
Tian Yuan was a bit bewildered. When did the University of Finance and Economics get such a beautiful peer? Was there going to be another contender for the most beautiful Cai Da School Beauty?
However, as the other party introduced herself after entering the room, she then realized that this was the mysterious girl who often had long phone calls with Yao An.
Immediately, she felt a lot more relieved.
The Cai Da School Beauty of East China Normal University, then it's fine. Otherwise, there would be another rival.
"Did you come by yourself?"
"I came with a roommate. Her boyfriend is also from the University of Finance and Economics, so she went to find him."
"Just now I asked you what you were doing, and you actually said you were eating Japanese food at the mall. Now you've learned to lie, haven't you?"
Yao An pouted unhappily and lightly flicked her forehead.
Jiang Jingya giggled, affectionately wrapping her arm around the other's, her cheek constantly rubbing against the smooth, tender skin.
"So, are you surprised or not? The University of Finance and Economics is so big, I wasted a lot of time just to find your dorm."
Yao An snorted, pretending not to be surprised, but the rare smile on her face still betrayed her.
"I bought you your favorite strawberries. I couldn't resist and secretly ate one on the way here. It's especially sweet."
Jiang Jingya opened the package, wiped a strawberry clean, and fed it to her mouth.
"Ah, open your mouth."
"You lied to me, I won't eat it."
"Just one, it's very sweet."
Their relationship was truly good.
Tian Yuan watched from the side, unable to interject. She felt an inexplicable envy.
Seeing the petite girl looking at her, Jiang Jingya, holding a strawberry, asked:
"Do you want some too?"
"Ah?"
Tian Yuan was bewildered for a moment.
"Can I eat it?"
"Eat, eat, we're all family."
Jiang Jingya generously handed the wiped strawberry into her hand, then wiped another one and fed it to Yao An.
"One for you, one for me, one for him, one for me, one for me..."
Yao An was a bit speechless, raising her hand to pinch her slightly baby-faced cheek until it was deformed.
"Aren't these the strawberries you bought for me? You're almost done eating them."
"Hehe, I couldn't resist."
Knowing she was a glutton, Yao An didn't plan to argue with her.
"Have you eaten lunch yet? Want to try the skills of our cafeteria chef?"
"Grumble~"
Just as this sentence was finished, Jiang Jingya's tummy rumbled.
She pulled Yao An up, as if to cover her embarrassment.
"Hurry, hurry, I'm starving."
Yao An casually put on some clothes, and only remembered that Tian Yuan hadn't eaten yet before leaving.
"Yuanyuan, want to go for lunch together?"
"I... I suddenly feel a bit unwell. You two go."
Seeing how sweet they were, Tian Yuan felt that she would be superfluous if she followed along, like a third wheel.
Hmm? Why does the term 'third wheel' sound so strange? They are best friends.
Tian Yuan shook her head, shaking off the jumbled thoughts in her mind.
"Then what do you want to eat? I'll bring it back for you."
"No need, I'll order takeout. When you two come back, just buy me two bags of potato chips and a bottle of sparkling water."
"Okay."
After the two left the dorm arm in arm, Tian Yuan unconsciously began to imitate Yao An's tone of voice.
"Even if I starve to death today, even if I jump from the fourth floor, I won't get out of bed a single step~"
"Hmph, fickle woman."
Looking at the empty dorm, Tian Yuan suddenly felt a wave of boredom.
"I should have gone to see the Oriental Pearl Tower with them."
However, she quickly found something fun to do, which was to battle in the forum!
"Sing for me, I want to hear 'The Promise', I want to hear 'Giving You the Human World'!"
Leaving the dorm, Jiang Jingya immediately turned into a fierce-looking girl.
"What is all this? I haven't even heard of it."
"I don't care, if you haven't heard it, learn it. I want to hear it, otherwise I'll cry for you."
"Go ahead and cry."
"Wuwuwu... Hmph, I can't cry. When I'm sad, I'll record it and play it on loop in front of you."
Chatting idly, many students along the way cast glances, intentionally or unintentionally, at these two 'lilies'.
Yao An was already pretty enough, but next to her, there was another girl whose beauty was comparable to hers.
Plus, Jiang Jingya was very lively and cute, constantly pointing at buildings along the road and asking questions, making it hard not to notice them.
In about three minutes, they could already see the outline of the Third Cafeteria.
The Third Cafeteria was relatively new, with a rich variety of food, and compared to the other two, the taste was slightly better.
This was Jiang Jingya's first time at the University of Finance and Economics, and Yao An didn't want to leave her with the impression that the University of Finance and Economics cafeteria was bad.
Even if it was true.
Just as they were approaching the cafeteria, a boy suddenly rushed out from the side, blocking their way.
The boy looked at Yao An and shouted:
"Yao An, I like you, will you be my girlfriend?!"
It was lunchtime, and there were many students coming and going in the cafeteria. Hearing this shout, many people turned their heads and looked over.
"You... are the boys at your University of Finance and Economics all so direct?"
Jiang Jingya was stunned, her small mouth slightly agape, unsure what expression to make.
Yao An shrugged helplessly at her, and when she turned to look at the boy, her expression had become blank.
"You like me?"
"Yes! Ever since I saw you at the military training gala, I haven't been able to get anyone else out of my mind. I think this might be love at first sight, and I hope you can give me a chance."
This male student was clearly a freshman, and he was quite handsome, probably the type who was quite confident in his appearance.
Hearing this, Jiang Jingya unconsciously shivered, feeling that the other party was a bit greasy. Who proposes to a girl like that?
Yao An wasn't angry, she just nodded faintly.
"Then what do you like about me?"
She added:
"Don't say things like 'I like everything' that you yourself don't believe."
The boy was choked for a moment. He had indeed intended to say that.
However, he reacted quickly and soon found a point he could mention.
"I like your singing voice, I like your 'bishangguan'. Every day I loop the video and watch it repeatedly."
"What's the first line of 'bishangguan'?"
The boy was choked again.
People who just listen to music generally don't specifically memorize lyrics, let alone that the lyrics of this song are particularly complex.
"You don't know. 'Good singing' is just an excuse you casually made up."
"Because you don't understand me at all. You only like this face of mine."
Yao An didn't humor him at all. If you're going to confess, you should be prepared for rejection.
"So, your so-called love at first sight is nothing more than lust at first sight. I don't like you, and I like your lust at first sight even less."
After saying that, Yao An directly pulled Jiang Jingya around the boy and entered the Third Cafeteria.
The boy stood there dejectedly, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Among the passing crowd, there were boys who had asked Yao An for contact information and been rejected. Seeing new members added to the loser's bracket, they couldn't help but show a relieved smile.
Awesome! That's the feeling.
"Is this the charm of the Cai Da School Beauty? What an eye-opener."
After ordering, the two girls found a table and sat down. Jiang Jingya hummed and hawed while eating.
She was eating spicy hot pot, and was hissing and hawing from the spice. Yao An preferred lighter flavors and ordered a claypot rice.
"Envious? Too bad I'm naturally beautiful, your envy is useless."
"Tch, I'm also a heartthrob at our school, okay? I reject 800 men a day."
"Pfft, are you the King of Sparta?"
"Hmm? What's the King of Sparta?"
She hadn't seen that movie.
"Then has anyone caught the eye of His Majesty the King?"
"No, I don't know why, but I just feel they're all so boring. I still find it more interesting to be with you."
"Maybe I just have a better personality."
"Pah, you're the least qualified to say that. When I was little, seeing your expressionless face, I don't know how much I disliked it. If we weren't neighbors back then, I definitely wouldn't have played with you."
Yao An smiled and didn't continue the topic.
"What time are you going back to school?"
"I just arrived, and you're already rushing me away? And I even brought you strawberries, you heartless woman."
"I'm just seeing how much longer we can 'stick together'."
"Stick together? I like that word."
Jiang Jingya smiled exceptionally brightly.
"I had my roommate mark me present tonight, I'm not going back. I want to sleep with you."
"Huh?"
