“Isn’t it?” Wang Sasa tilted her chin, speaking in an inscrutable manner. “Is it that you’re jealous because I’ve become popular?”
She was more beautiful, had better grades, and was richer than Tan Yixuan. No wonder Tan Yixuan would be jealous.
However, since Tan Yixuan had it tough enough, Wang Sasa decided to be magnanimous and forgive her.
Wang Sasa shook her head and nodded at the same time, patting Tan Yixuan’s shoulder and comforting her, “Don’t worry, I’m not that petty.”
Tan Yixuan was momentarily speechless, looking at her with a mixture of frustration and disbelief.
Wang Sasa continued, “After all, surpassing me is impossible, so you…” probably could only be jealous. To avoid making Tan Yixuan too disheartened, she wisely left the sentence unfinished.
Seeing Tan Yixuan remain silent, Wang Sasa spoke earnestly, “Don’t be discouraged. You should still have dreams. Who knows, they might come true? Although the hope is slim, if you don’t make an effort, you’ll never succeed. And if you do try, maybe there’s a one in ten thousand chance?”
Tan Yixuan: “… What are you rambling about?”
Wang Sasa went on, “Becoming like me is actually quite simple. First, you need to change your personal image.” After saying this, she looked Tan Yixuan up and down and thoughtfully remarked, “Your bangs are a bit long; it’s best to get them trimmed at the barber shop…”
Tan Yixuan took a deep breath. “… So, what exactly are you saying?”
Seeing Tan Yixuan’s stubbornness, Wang Sasa only smiled and shook her head in amusement. She could only offer this much help; if Tan Yixuan chose to wallow, there was nothing more she could do.
Tan Yixuan: “…” She couldn’t shake the feeling that Wang Sasa had conjured up some nonsense, making her inexplicably angry.
At dinner, Wang Sasa suddenly remembered she had already completed the procedures for staying in the dorm, but she had been returning home every day. The teachers had turned a blind eye, causing her to sweat a little.
Wang Sasa had originally planned to share a dorm with Tan Yixuan. However, after seeing Tan Yixuan’s dorm environment, she was less inclined to do so.
She wasn’t sure if Tan Yixuan would agree to live with her. Wang Sasa couldn’t help but ask, “Tan Yixuan, would you like to stay at my apartment?”
Tan Yixuan glanced at her and shook her head.
The situation last night was exceptional, so she hadn’t refused. But staying at Wang Sasa’s place long-term, what reason could she give? Plus, it would be hard to explain to her grandmother and teachers.
Tan Yixuan glanced at Wang Sasa, who still seemed oblivious. She couldn’t help but purse her lips. Was Wang Sasa’s invitation just a whimsical gesture? Was she so insignificant in Wang Sasa’s eyes?
After finishing evening self-study, Tan Yixuan was surprised to find that Wang Sasa was not leaving the school but instead followed her footsteps towards the dormitory. Tan Yixuan couldn’t hold back and asked, “Aren’t you going back to your apartment?”
Wang Sasa shrugged. “I forgot to tell you, but I actually live on campus too.” With that, she clasped her hands behind her back, smiled as she passed Tan Yixuan, and pushed open the door to Dorm 104.
Wang Sasa leaned against the doorframe and greeted the astonished roommates, “Hi? We meet again?”
Dorm 104 was a five-person room, so someone moving in meant someone had to move out. Wang Sasa’s gaze landed on one of the roommates as she calmly asked, “So, haven’t you finished tidying up yet?”
The other three roommates looked at Wen Fanlei, who, as if waking from a dream, jumped up in surprise. Stammering, she said, “Y-yes… I’ll get it ready right away.”
The remaining three looked at each other, unsure of what to do.
Zhang Yu, frowning, turned to Wang Sasa and asked, “What are you doing here?”
Wang Sasa moved aside, watched Tan Yixuan enter the dorm, then followed her in, casually pulling up a chair and sitting down. She then said, “Just to introduce myself. I’m your new roommate from now on.”
“So, that means…” Jiang Qishan looked at Wen Fanlei, who was starting to tidy her bed, and muttered, “Xiao Lei is moving out?”
Hearing her name, Wen Fanlei glanced at Wang Sasa secretly, then lowered her head and bit her lip without speaking.
Zhang Yu, who had a decent relationship with Wen Fanlei, glared at Wang Sasa and said, “Wang Shasha, what exactly are you trying to do?!”
Wang Sasa spread her hands and said innocently, “I wanted to move in, so naturally, someone has to vacate a spot.” She then gave Tan Yixuan an innocent smile and added, “Right, Yixuan?”
Zhang Yu shot Wang Sasa a vicious glare and whispered to Wen Fanlei, “Don’t be afraid. We’re on your side.”
Wen Fanlei looked at Zhang Yu and Wang Sasa, feeling a twinge of emotion.
Wang Sasa stood up, walked to Wen Fanlei’s bed, and sat down, patting the bed and nonchalantly saying under Zhang Yu’s angry gaze, “Hurry up and help me set up the bedding.”
Wen Fanlei was taken aback and looked at Zhang Yu with difficulty.
Seeing Wang Sasa’s overbearing attitude, Zhang Yu was so angry she nearly fell over. “Wang Shasha! Don’t think that just because your grandfather is a school board member you can bully other students!”
Wang Sasa looked up in surprise and said, “Bully?” She was just asking Wen Fanlei to set up the bed. Was that considered bullying? Her previous classmates had eagerly done such things. Now, seeing Wen Fanlei’s unwillingness and look of great grievance, she couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.
Wang Sasa whispered, “Wen Fanlei, aren’t you curious why I want you to move out?”
Wen Fanlei’s hands paused, her face turning pale in an instant. She quickly glanced at Wang Sasa, unable to meet her gaze, her fingers trembling as she stammered, “I-I didn’t mean it.” Her voice was so soft only Wang Sasa could hear.
Wang Sasa’s eyes shifted, and she chuckled lightly, leaning against the bed’s headboard with a smile that was neither fully genuine nor fully mocking. “Seems like you understand, so there’s no need for me to say more.”
Wen Fanlei didn’t dare to respond, hiding something in her heart, and her movements slowed.
Tan Yixuan, unable to watch any longer, stepped forward quickly and grabbed the pillowcase from Wen Fanlei’s hands, saying coldly, “I’ll do it.”
Wen Fanlei stepped aside, watching Tan Yixuan efficiently and skillfully make the bed, her expression a bit dazed. It didn’t matter who made the bed for Wang Sasa; when Tan Yixuan finished, she calmly sat down.
Wang Sasa was both excited and anxious about the upcoming shared living situation. Before she started reading the book, she had been a day student like Wang Shasha. She thought she had no unacceptable quirks but worried about the other roommates’ habits in Dorm 104.
Taking advantage of the other three going to the bathroom to wash up, Wang Sasa specifically talked to Tan Yixuan. She said anxiously, “Did you see? They were eating sunflower seeds earlier, and the shells were scattered all over the place. It’s so dirty; they don’t care about cleanliness at all.” From these small things, it seemed the three of them had poor habits.
Tan Yixuan looked at her for a long time, realizing Wang Sasa wasn’t joking. Remembering the garbage in her apartment, she remained silent and gave Wang Sasa a quiet glance. “Don’t worry, they will clean up.” After all, it’s not as dirty as your place.
Wang Sasa didn’t listen and seemed to suddenly fall into inexplicable anxiety. “After all, this is my first time living on campus, and I’ll be living with four people. Tan Yixuan, you’re fine; I don’t mind. But the other three…” She started to speak but stopped.
Tan Yixuan sighed, unable to resist patting her on the head. “Don’t overthink it. If you can’t get used to it, you can continue being a day student.”
“Of course… no, wait.” Wang Sasa suddenly touched her head and stared with wide eyes. “How can you touch my head?” Her hairstyle, though casual, was intentionally styled.
Seeing Wang Sasa’s intense reaction, Tan Yixuan froze and quietly withdrew her hand, whispering, “If you don’t like it, I won’t do it again.”
Wang Sasa opened her mouth, unsure how to respond. She had expected Tan Yixuan to snort and say she didn’t care, then glare at her, mocking her for being self-important. She was ready for that, but Tan Yixuan’s unexpected reaction, which seemed abandoned and made her teeth ache, was something she didn’t anticipate…
Wang Sasa wondered what the term was for Tan Yixuan’s reaction. As she pondered, her phone rang, interrupting her thoughts.
Wang Sasa distractedly answered the phone, and when she saw the caller’s name, she was momentarily stunned. She intended to hang up immediately but, noticing Tan Yixuan standing in front of her, decided to smile sweetly and answer the call.
“Wei Qi, it’s late. Are you looking for me?”
On the other end of the line, there was initial noise and cheering mixed with background music. After a while, it seemed the background music was turned off, and Wei Qi cleared his throat, suddenly unsure of what to say to Wang Sasa: “I…”
During the day, he heard that Wang Sasa had received love letters from other people. His friends joked that he might be getting cuckolded.
Wei Qi hadn’t thought about it in that way before. But as he imagined Wang Sasa’s face, he grew more and more uneasy. Who was Li Songbo to dare pursue his childhood friend? When he found out that Li Songbo had been entangled with Wang Sasa’s classmate the day before, he became even more angry.
That evening, Wei Qi went out and drank a bit.
Everyone started a game of Truth or Dare. When it was Wei Qi’s turn, he was required to call the fourth person from the bottom of his contact list and confess his feelings. With a cold face, Wei Qi flipped through his contacts and discovered that it was Wang Sasa.
For a moment, Wei Qi panicked, suddenly realizing that Wang Sasa hadn’t called him in a long time. This call might not go through. Under the excited gazes of his friends, Wei Qi found himself in a difficult situation.
To his surprise, the call actually connected.
Wei Qi hesitated for a moment, trying to find something to say, “Actually, I just wanted to ask if you want to come to the tea party.” Ignoring his friends’ teasing glances, Wei Qi continued with a straight face, “Of course, I mentioned before that it’s up to you whether you come or not.”
That was all he wanted to ask?
Wang Sasa, glancing at Tan Yixuan’s expression while changing her position to take the call, replied, “Let’s talk later. Do you have anything else?”
Wei Qi paused and gritted his teeth, “I like…”
“Sasa, do you know what time it is now?” Tan Yixuan suddenly took Wang Sasa’s arm, speaking in an unusually gentle tone. Wang Sasa looked down at the hand on her arm, recalling the previous actions, and suddenly realized. She remembered what people called those who liked to touch others and had skin-to-skin contact.
She thought for a moment and then slapped her palm, realizing it was called “skin hunger!”
The cause of skin hunger was lack of love!
