âI think youâd better eat less.â Looking at the pace where Liu Ling was eating the chocolate as if it was potato chips in front of her, Su Rui kindly reminded her.
âWhat should I be afraid of? With my metabolism, I can eat without gaining weight.â Liu Ling said in a loud voice.
âAnd, I told you that if I hadnât been waiting for you to return, I would have already eaten my breakfast.â Liu Ling said as she continued, âI wouldnât be stuffing myself down now.â
âPft,â Hearing what she had said, Su Rui rolled her eyes in front of her, âI am afraid you would have cavities from eating so much, just keep being smug as you want .â
But, speaking of it, this metabolism that makes it hard to gain weightâ¦Really made one envious, jealous, and hateful.
At least, Su Rui herself isnât an ectomorph.
âAiyo, are you disdaining me?â Liu Ling looked at Su Rui and asked.
âLet me tell you, you should cherish the two weeks that I am together with you now. Otherwise, when you have no roommate next month, you canât even find the place to complain about me.â Liu Ling said leisurely in a rather loud tone.
âHm? Whatâs the matter?â Su Rui was stunned when she heard that. She asked, âWhat are you going to do next month? You arenât staying in the dorm?â
âNo, I found a place to intern. The companyâs headquarters is in City H, so I have to stay in City H for two months.â Liu Ling shrugged and said in a solemn tone.
Su Rui had previously researched the place that Liu Ling had just mentioned when she was looking at the target curriculum this semester. Every third-year students in the economics and management major is required to complete 2-3 months of business independent study during their first semester.
The so-called self-arrangement has to be done by the students themselves. This includes the pre-selection of companies, sending out resumes, going in for an interview and joining the company.
Lastly, the completion of the internship would be recorded in the studentâs results.
Overall, it was a very important part of University Bâs third-year semester.
âBy the way, where are you going for your internship? Have you decided?â Liu Ling questioned.
Thinking that once she had left, Classmate Su Xiao Rui was going to be as lonely and pitiful as she was in her last semester. Liu Ling felt a little unbearable for her.
âNo.â Su Rui said, feigned a sigh and added, âMustnât I attain the basic credits first?â
In order to make ample time for the internship, there were not a lot of classes in University Bâs professional courses. The exams for the Business Analytics course are also mainly focused on in the first four weeks of school.
Unfortunately, there are several more subjects that Su Rui needed to make up for this semesterâs foundation courses.
As expected, it was better to choose a major such as music history and art theory, like what Tang Xiao did, where one wouldnât need to fulfil the credit requirement and could even skip the public examination during their third-year.
âOh, do your best senior!â Liu Ling got up and patted Su Ruiâs shoulder and said in mock sympathy.
âGo away!â
âAnd! Liu Ling Ling! Can you stop rubbing your hand that you have eaten chocolate with on my clothes?!â
âI slip, I slip! Besides, I licked it before.â
Su Rui: â¦
âHeh Heh, Uh, itâs almost time. Letâs go to class.â With an embarrassed smile, Liu Ling looked at the time and said.
In the third and fourth period, they also have a case study course.
When Su Rui heard that, she also looked at the time.
âWait, let me change my clothes.â Su Rui said.
When Liu Ling heard what Su Rui had said, she suddenly widened her eyes and looked at Su Rui with an aggrieved expression, âYou disdain me!â
âYou think too much.â Su Rui said as she blinked towards Liu Ling. She added, âGive me ten minutes.â
Liu Ling: ?
Ten minutes to change?
Is this chick changing into Hanfu or Lolita?
Liu Ling silently grumbled to herself, but still sat on her desk. She picked up the chocolate that Father Su had bought, and ate two more of it.
When Su Rui finally finished dolling herself up, Liu Ling then understood why it took her ten minutes.
âGosh! Arenât you just going to class? Why do you still need to put on make-up?â And itâs so beautifully done!
âSu Xiao Rui, you are going too far.â
âI donât think we can be happy roommates anymore; seriously.â Liu Ling looked at Su Rui and said with an affirmative tone.
Although Liu Ling genuinely felt that it was not worth wearing make-up for the male students in her class, yet this girl put on make-up and didnât inform her! She canât happily be friends with her anymore.
âPfft.â Hearing Liu Lingâs complaint, Su Rui finally couldnât hold back her laughter.
âI have something planned this afternoon.â Su Rui smiled and explained.
âSomething planned?â Hearing this, Liu Ling raised her eyebrows and suddenly thought of something. She looked at Su Rui nosily.
âHeh heh, Su Xiao Rui. What are you doing this afternoon? Itâs a date, right?â
âSort of.â Su Rui nodded her head and said without deliberately concealing anything.
The words âsort ofâ was said reluctantly, but Su Rui couldnât hide the smile on her face and almost didnât put the sentence, #Yes, I am going on a date, on her face.
Well, thereâs no need to ask if she was going with her boyfriend or not.
âOh, when did it happen? I canât believe I, your roommate, didnât even know about it!â Liu Ling said with her eyes full of gossip and suddenly thought of something. Her eyes lit up and asked, âItâs not the person who you were chatting on the phone for hours quietly the whole of last week, right?â
What do you mean by talking on the phone for hours? She was obviously asking questions.
Also, what do you mean by âsecretlyâ? She was afraid that it would disturb Liu Lingâs revision if she were too loud, alright?
Su Rui glanced at Liu Ling and silently grumbled about it inwardly.
But.
âCoincidentally, it is really that person.â Su Rui said with a wink.
âHaha, you canât hide from the eyes that find stories.âLiu Ling cocked her eyebrows and couldnât help but ask curiously, âIs it from our school? Itâs not from our university, right? Which year is he from? What does he look like? Do I know him?â
Ahem. Speaking of which, you do know him.
âLetâs have a meal together when you are free and you can see him?â Su Rui raised her eyebrows, looked towards Liu Ling and inquired.
Su Rui recalled the time when Classmate Liu Lingâs look of regret after not able to meet her âidolâ during the school opening ceremony previously, Su Rui couldnât help but find it somewhat hilarious in her heart.
âSure!â With a burst of excitement, Liu Ling raised her head and added, âBut just a heads up, I wonât go to any restaurants that are of lower grade than the mangrove restaurant outside the West gate.â
âPft. You have so many requests. Alright. Alright. Letâs go to class first.â Su Rui pushed Liu Ling out of the dormitory room.
There was no class for the first two periods, and after that Su Rui had classes until the afternoon.
