Chapter 348: Chapter 348: Treat the Illness

The woman spoke with a cheerful smile, seeming extremely enthusiastic.

Xia Chuyi raised an eyebrow and thought to herself, Was such righteous confidence really called for in exchanging beds?

She glanced at the woman, then at Chi Yue, who maintained a cold and silent demeanor. Xia Chuyi calmly pointed at the other three upper bunks and said, "Aren’t there still three upper bunks available over there?"

Why did she have to have this one?

The woman smiled nonchalantly and said, "The lighting for those three isn’t as good as yours."

The implication was clear; she had her sights set on this spot.

Hearing this, Xia Chuyi lightly curled her lips, her smile not quite reaching her eyes as she said, "I’m sorry, aunty, but I quite like this bunk."

In other words, she also had her eyes on this place and wouldn’t yield.

As soon as she finished speaking, the woman’s expression immediately turned sour, and she said, "You, young comrade, why are you being so unreasonable?"

"My Yueyue is sick, can’t you just accommodate a little?"

Xia Chuyi laughed again and replied, "If she’s sick, then she should seek treatment."

"Don’t let it drag on until it turns into a serious illness."

Her tone was extremely concerned.

"Hey, what kind of way is that to talk?" Finally, Chi Yue stopped pretending to be mute and, with a disgruntled glare at Xia Chuyi, barked, "With so many bunks available, what’s the big deal if you change?"

Chi Yue’s mother also wore a very unreasonable expression.

Xia Chuyi chuckled inwardly.

Was this Miss Jiaojiao too used to getting her way? Did she think the whole world owed her?

"Sorry, Chi Yue, in matters like this, we have to honor first come, first served."

"I came first, chose this bunk, so it belongs to me."

"As for your illness, there are still three upper bunks unoccupied; you’re free to choose any of those."

Xia Chuyi’s attitude was neither humble nor overbearing.

"You!" Chi Yue looked ready to explode with anger.

At this moment, another female student arrived at the dormitory.

"Hello, is this room 201? Are you all staying in this dorm?"

Before the newcomer could finish speaking, Chi Yue cut in directly, "I’m not staying in this dorm anymore, Mom, let’s choose another one."

After speaking, she huffed, pushed past Xia Chuyi, and left the dormitory.

"This..." The new student looked embarrassed.

"It’s okay, she’s not mad at you," Xia Chuyi assured the new student with a smile.

Hearing this, the new student curiously asked, "Was she mad at you?"

"Not really," Xia Chuyi casually remarked, "She’s sick and wanted my bunk, but I disagreed, so for the sake of her health, she had to find another dorm, I guess."

"Sick? Changing bunks?" Clearly, the new student was somewhat confused.

"Forget about her, hello, my name is Xia Chuyi, Foreign Languages Department." She reached out to the new student.

"Oh, hello, my name is Zheng Yan, Mathematics Department." Zheng Yan stretched out her hand and shook hands with her.

After a brief self-introduction, Xia Chuyi said, "Well, Zheng Yan, I have some errands to run, so I’ll see you later."

After bidding farewell to Zheng Yan, she left the dormitory.

As she passed by room 202, she and Chi Yue locked eyes through the doorway.

"Hmph!" Chi Yue shot her a disdainful glance.

Xia Chuyi didn’t respond and continued on her way.

Returning to "Youwei," Qian Qianqian had already half-opened the shop, though it hadn’t yet started serving customers.

When the time they had chosen as auspicious arrived, Qian Qianqian set off firecrackers at the entrance, and Xia Chuyi lifted the lid off the braised meat pot. The rich aroma instantly spread out as "Youwei" Capital City branch officially opened.

The rich scent of braised meat was a powerful lure, and it didn’t take long for customers to start coming in.

"Boss, what is it you’re selling? It smells amazing!" the incoming person inquired.
