Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten
Chapter 1004 - 1006: Thick-Skinned
Luo Zijun stood on the side, watching Gong Ruini effortlessly put the box into her cabinet, wanting to say there must not be much inside.
Liu Yun had helped out before and knew the weight of Gong Ruini’s box, originally thinking of lending a hand but surprised that she managed on her own.
"Are you okay?" Liu Yun asked worriedly.
"I’m fine, I can lift this stuff." I’m someone who exercises regularly.
Gong Ruini turned her head to see Luo Zijun’s surprised expression, huff, silly girl, are you scared?
Gong Ruini intentionally did this move; some people not only need to be intellectually overwhelmed but should know that her Combat Power is not lacking either.
"You’re amazing," Liu Yun admired, "I originally thought you were a delicate girl."
Coming to enroll at the university, a whole group came to see her off; even though she’s from Beijing, it was quite a scene.
"Not at all, my family practices boxing with my uncle; my uncle said it strengthens and keeps you healthy." Gong Ruini said casually.
Ah, really? Practicing boxing? My gosh, Luo Zijun was truly scared, feeling fortunate that she didn’t persist earlier, or else...
Luo Zijun raised her guard level for Gong Ruini in her mind.
"Who’s your uncle?" Liu Yun was curious about Gong Ruini’s uncle.
"He works." Gong Ruini didn’t want to elaborate on her family situation, to avoid appearing boastful, "I wasn’t healthy as a child, my uncle advised exercising for better health."
After Gong Ruini had put everything away, she was about to wash a watermelon when Huang Yawen preemptively washed it and cut it open.
"Thanks, Yawen." Although Gong Ruini spoke lightly, she was actually a bit tired but managed her breath well.
Having reached this level of showing off, she couldn’t let herself be exposed at the last moment; Gong Ruini had noticed someone’s surprised expression just now.
Gong Ruini habitually invited everyone to eat, and just as she reached out, an unexpected scene occurred.
Luo Zijun grabbed the biggest piece of watermelon first, "Nice, it tastes great."
After all the bustling, with her mouth dry, she couldn’t resist the tempting juicy red watermelon.
Really? Gong Ruini felt an urge to give Luo Zijun the middle finger, truly not expecting her to be this shameless.
Qiao Yanran was about to make a snarky comment but was stopped by Huang Yawen.
It’s just watermelon; Gong Ruini couldn’t deny her, but decided not to be polite in the future, as politeness might lead to someone being truly impertinent.
After eating two pieces, Huang Yawen and the others stopped, but Luo Zijun was different, devouring piece after piece, making everyone unable to look directly.
"So delicious, so full." Luo Zijun felt much better, even though she’d been bullied by Gong Ruini, she made up for it by devouring a good share of watermelon.
Satisfied and shameless, even more shameless was her leaving without cleaning up the table.
"Aren’t you going to tidy up?" Gong Ruini asked unhappily.
"I can’t." Luo Zijun replied straightforwardly, then picked up her thermos to fetch water.
Can’t, about to explode with rage, "You only know how to eat, huh? When are you buying watermelon?" Gong Ruini retorted sarcastically.
"Why should I?" Luo Zijun patted her backside and walked off.
"And isn’t someone else going to buy it?" Luo Zijun seemed eager for the next watermelon.
Unable to endure it, Gong Ruini said, "Forget about watermelon, let’s buy cantaloupe instead."
It’s not about being stingy with money, but Gong Ruini really didn’t want to buy watermelon for such a shameless person to eat.
"Uh-huh, we’ll buy watermelon to eat outside." Even though they were university students and no longer had college subsidies,
Being able to support a child through high school and then studying in Beijing means the family must not be struggling financially; at least ordinary food and drink were comfortably covered.
Gong Ruini took the opportunity with Luo Zijun absent, "Let’s have dinner together tonight; my brother’s treating us."
Gong Ruini understood Gong Ruwen’s intention, hoping these roommates could take care of her a bit, though she felt it slightly unnecessary, but couldn’t refuse her brother’s good will.
"What about her?" pointing to the spot of bed number one. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
If Luo Zijun hadn’t been so outrageous earlier, Gong Ruini wouldn’t mind including her, but now she was worried that someone might later question why her brother doesn’t invite her to eat.
"Not inviting." Gong Ruini replied bluntly, "My brother doesn’t have a good impression of someone who snatched my bed."
Gong Ruini recalled that there wasn’t any rumor about her brother and Chu Ling in university; apart from age differences, Chu Ling wasn’t a showy person, so no flaunting of status occurred.
Thus, Zhao Xuran and Gong Ruwen were truly popular in university, and Gong Ruini wondered if her roommates would have any desire to pursue them upon knowing their status, but at least Luo Zijun might have such thoughts.
Not only thinking Zhao Xuran and the others were impressive, giving face when showing them off, but also considering if she could use this relationship to oppose her.
Everyone couldn’t help but think of the person previously bragging; yes, quite exciting. They hadn’t encountered such people before, and now they have, certainly wouldn’t treat Luo Zijun well.
Luo Zijun walked toward the water room with a thermos, feeling great, "Only a fool spends money on fruit."
"Looks like Gong Ruini’s family is well-off." Luo Zijun not only noticed Gong Ruini’s ability to handle heavy items, she also assessed the things she brought, definitely indicative of good family circumstances.
Given such good conditions, providing some perks to everyone seemed nice.
Thinking about how to trick Gong Ruini, Luo Zijun considered how to ease into asking her for things, lest she scares people by asking abruptly.
Unfortunately, Luo Zijun didn’t know that dodging the chores led her to miss a dinner party, leaving her furious,
Even more infuriating was later learning the host of the dinner and the company involved, which made her curse Gong Ruini for a long time.
Gong Ruini tidied up and, noticing the time, decided to head out, mentioning which canteen she’d be visiting for dinner before leaving.
"If you can’t find it, ask the seniors; I’m off to find my brother." Gong Ruini worried Luo Zijun might return to chat, opting to leave early.
Huang Yawen also preferred not to get tangled up with Luo Zijun, "We’ll look around the campus."
"Okay." Although they had four years to appreciate the beautiful campus, this first time was always full of anticipation.
So when Luo Zijun returned to the dormitory with her thermos, she found everyone gone, feeling puzzled, "Where’s everyone gone?"
What’s going on? But the dormitory was empty apart from herself, which felt quite nice; Luo Zijun closed the dorm door, kicked at Gong Ruini’s bed a few times, and then climbed onto her bed to rest.
Before sleeping, she didn’t forget to curse Gong Ruini; if it weren’t for her, how could climbing into bed be such a strenuous task every time?
