Chapter 324: 323. Shipping CP

"What kind of talk is that? How am I not the original me anymore?"

"Yo, that’s a long story if you want to get into it."

Three vibrant and youthful girls strolled towards the dormitory as Cheng Ranran started to recount the events of the winter break, with Ye Xiaohui chiming in from time to time.

"Let me tell you, my grandma adores you now. Ever since your feats were reported in the news, she’s been bringing your name up all the time..."

Babbling on for the entire walk, Ye Xiaohui finally summed it up.

"In short, you’re not only brave and righteous, but you’re also professionally excellent, and you’ve managed to top your class twice in a row, becoming the favorite child in the eyes of all the parents."

Just as the three of them arrived at the dormitory door, and Tang Shu was fumbling for her keys, they heard a scoff nearby.

Glancing towards the source of the sound, they saw Zhao Haixue standing with her arms crossed at the door next door, her face showing a trace of jealousy.

"What’s the use of just being good at studying? It’s only the first year of college, and there’s a long way ahead. Our Tang the superstar has such a broad appeal, being able to attract attention and stir up buzz by simply riding a train, really has a knack for acting. But who knows if she’ll be able to keep balancing both sides in the future?"

Cheng Ranran immediately rolled up her sleeves, looking fierce.

"Hey, my temper is too explosive. Can’t you speak properly?!"

Tang Shu reacted swiftly, pulling back her plump body, but her cold eyes remained fixed on the neighbor.

"The class president is right, there’ll be plenty of time. But I’m quite curious, how can someone who can’t even do well in the first semester of freshman year think about the future?"

"Pfft—" Ye Xiaohui, who was holding onto the other arm of Cheng Ranran, couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

"Mr. President, instead of worrying about others, you might want to consider how to improve your own grades."

Among the four of them, Zhao Haixue’s grades were indeed the lowest, with even Cheng Ranran scoring more than twenty points higher than her.

This statement was meant to be a reminder, but to the listener, it carried a hint of sarcasm.

"Ye Xiaohui, I advise you to stop pretending in front of me. Are you addicted to being a sidekick? When Tang Shu is here, you’re her sidekick, and when she’s not, you’re Cheng Ranran’s. What, is your family having difficulties?"

Cheng Ranran, whose anger had subsided somewhat, was immediately set off again by Zhao Haixue’s words.

"Shut your mouth, you can’t expect to spit out anything good! We are friends, understand?!"

"Friends? Only someone like you would believe that there are friendships in showbiz."

"Are you suffering from paranoid delusions again?!"

The smile had vanished from Ye Xiaohui’s face, but she remained rational and didn’t let go of Cheng Ranran’s hand.

"Ignore her. The fact that she’s skilled at guessing others’ motives just shows how much more pitiable she is."

"You’re right. The word ’friend’ is too profound for the class president to understand."

Tang Shu thought Zhao Haixue was not only Petty but also lacked vision.

Ye Xiaohui’s clothes, though not branded, were of fine quality, clearly indicating that she wasn’t from an ordinary household, yet in the eyes of this class president, she was seen as someone clinging to others.

Utterly foolish.

Tang Shu pulled out the key, opened the door, ushered her two buddies inside, and slammed the wooden door shut, leaving a fuming Zhao Haixue next door.

That afternoon, Tang Shu’s phone rang.

The caller ID showed: Sister Nuan.

Tang Shu swiped the screen and answered the call.

"Hello—"

"Xiao Shu?"

"It’s me. Is there something you need, Sister Nuan?"

"Indeed, I need to talk to you. Where are you? Can I come over?"
