When Zhu Niao saw that flash of blonde hair, her mind first went blank.
The tone definitely belonged to someone she knew very well.
So who among the people she knew had blonde hair? So hard to guess.
In a moment, Zhu Niao’s brain had already realized who was in front of her.
But she didn’t dare lift her head. If she raised her head, her mother would probably face a disaster.
This was a very serious Mother Defense War: all or nothing.
Compared to Zhu Niao, who didn’t dare look up, Gou Yu beside her lifted his head and directly saw Zhu Niao’s roommate.
“Oh, roommates.”
“What, you’re not welcoming me after all this waiting, hmm?”
Liu Chen’s hand gently pressed on Zhu Niao’s lowered head, lightly playing with the big black butterfly bow hair ornament on Gou Yu’s head.
“W-Welcome?”
“Who are you saying that for, hmm?” Liu Chen also leaned by Zhu Niao’s ear. “No energy. I can’t hear it at all.”
“Welcome!” Zhu Niao shouted, her whole body trembling.
“Is it truly welcome? I feel like it’s not so sincere.”
Liu Chen gently stroked Zhu Niao’s hair, like a mother softly caressing her own child.
The tenderness in her eyes didn’t seem fake.
But the coldness in her words was like a bone-chilling wind: “If you really welcome me, why didn’t you tell me from the beginning? Hmm?”
Liu Chen turned her head and glanced inside the well-decorated banquet hall.
Then she pressed on the back of Zhu Niao’s head, making her look at the hall.
“This kind of decoration must have been prepared for a long time, right?” Liu Chen’s voice was like a devil’s whisper in Zhu Niao’s ear. “Then you must be very suitable to be a spy in the war era—you didn’t reveal a single clue.”
“Actually, that wasn’t my intention…”
“Did I give you permission to speak? Hmm?”
Only at this moment could Zhu Niao feel the pressure from Liu Chen.
“You’ve really hidden it from us so hard. Next are you planning to secretly get married, have a child, and then be cremated together?”
After saying this, Liu Chen let go of Zhu Niao. Zhu Niao timidly looked up from her seat.
Then she realized the situation wasn’t that simple.
Liu Chen wasn’t the only one who came.
Standing beside Liu Chen was Liu Anran in a black suit. That was normal, since Liu Chen alone couldn’t have come to such an occasion.
But behind Liu Chen followed two people.
Ye Qingchang and Yang Shuli.
All her roommates had come.
“Why did all of you come?” Zhu Niao’s face showed surprise, then turned to emotion.
If during class you went to the bathroom and the bell suddenly rang for the end of class, you would think “Oh no,” but it’s too late.
Your good friends would come to your stall with the sound of horse hooves, then tear down the last shred of your dignity—the bathroom stall door—and together watch your heroic posture of using the toilet.
“Otherwise, what did you think? Did you think I was a double agent like you, who gets news but doesn’t notify your brothers?” Liu Chen retorted, then waved at Liu Anran behind her.
Liu Anran took out a big box from the gift bag he was carrying.
“Your engagement gift.” Liu Chen said, putting it in front of Zhu Niao.
Zhu Niao was stunned, then realized she should explain.
“No, actually I’m not engaged…”
“Alright, no need to say more. Your brother doesn’t want to hear your explanation.” Liu Chen glanced at Zhu Niao’s gorgeous attire, like a princess from a fairy tale. “No more words. I’m definitely going to film a video and upload it to the school forum today.”
Saying that, Liu Chen used two fingers to pinch Zhu Niao’s lips that were about to argue.
Then she lightly tapped the big box. “This is a complete set of cosmetics. Now that you’re a respectable wife, you need to start sprucing yourself up.”
Little Bird’s face was pinched red, but she couldn’t explain a single word.
Zhu Niao’s explanation was interrupted, and she could only watch Liu Chen take Liu Anran’s arm and leave.
Before she could say anything, Ye Qingchang walked up to her and took out a book from her tote bag.
Love Notes
“I bought this book a long time ago, but it wasn’t very useful for me. Now I think this book might be more useful for you.”
After saying this, Ye Qingchang handed the book toward Zhu Niao.
But just as Zhu Niao reached out to take it, she held on tightly.
“Do you remember what I told you a few days ago? When they were doing the campus run and we two were chatting on the bench. I said that among everyone, you were the one I was most worried about. I didn’t hesitate to suspect you would sneak off, but I didn’t expect you to run off so fast.”
Ye Qingchang held the book and pulled Zhu Niao a bit closer.
“You’re like this, making it hard for your brother to feel at ease.”
The murderous intent in Ye Qingchang’s whisper seemed even stronger than Liu Chen’s earlier.
She pressed against Zhu Niao’s head, her eyes decorated by glasses wide open, staring fixedly at Zhu Niao.
“Actually, that wasn’t my intention. You have to believe me.” Zhu Niao gave a bitter explanation.
“Oh? You mean you originally didn’t plan to get engaged or date, just that your family forced you, and you only need to pretend to be a fiancée at the engagement banquet, right?”
Zhu Niao’s face showed a bit of stunned expression.
’She guessed quite accurately.’
“Do you even believe what you’re saying?” Ye Qingchang’s whisper was still by her ear.
“Why can’t I believe it?” Zhu Niao’s face carried an awkward smile.
“Brother is not going to talk about this now. Anyone with eyes can see the situation. You don’t need to explain too much.” Ye Qingchang paused. “Don’t say things like that in the future. Even if it’s for something else, your Gou Yu will be unhappy hearing it. You’re not just yourself now; you need to consider the feelings of those around you.”
Ye Qingchang, who seemed to have never been in love, became a true love guru at this moment.
Then the love guru walked inside the door.
The last one to walk up to Zhu Niao was Yang Shuli. The dorm leader didn’t have the devil-like whispers of the previous two, but wore a pained expression as she took a card from her pocket.
“What’s this?”
“An exclusive membership card from the boss of Shaxian Snacks. This card lets you get a free meal within twenty yuan every day.”
Zhu Niao immediately realized how important this card was to Yang Shuli.
“Dorm leader, I truly wish you could make it to this engagement step…” Yang Shuli scratched her head, remembering what she wanted to say. “How did you two get together? How did you chase him? Can you teach me?”
Huh, why did the chapter amount decrease.
