If there were only the two of them in the dormitory, Xiao Ran would take the initiative to talk to her. Although she didn’t say much, it was a world of difference compared to before.

During the three-day New Year holiday, there was even a night when Xiao Ran didn’t come back and sent a message to Su Weiyi, telling her that she wouldn’t be returning that night, which had never happened before.

Su Weiyi found herself surprisingly delighted by this change. She wasn’t very enthusiastic about making friends. Su Man and Ah Jia were currently close to her mostly because they were both very enthusiastic. Su Weiyi was slow to warm up, but if someone was kind to her, she would be kind in return.

But being with Xiao Ran was different. It was an indescribable feeling. Su Weiyi couldn’t put it into words, but clearly, she wanted to make this friend. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

It was another weekend. As early as Tuesday, Su Weiyi received a call from Miss Tang, telling her that no matter what, she had to go home this weekend.

Since the start of the semester, she hadn’t gone home yet. She went to S City over the National Day, stayed in the dormitory during the New Year holiday, and hadn’t been home on other weekends either.

Miss Tang commanded it, and on Friday afternoon, Su Weiyi packed her things and went back to Lake Bay Villa.

Actually, Miss Tang didn’t have anything specific for her to do; she was just happy to finally have her daughter back, only to find that her daughter didn’t come home after going to university.

After staying at home for two days, before returning to school on Sunday, Mr. Sheng handed Su Weiyi a key.

"Dad, this is...?"

"This is an apartment opposite your school. You can live there if you want. If you don’t, staying in the dormitory is fine too."

Su Weiyi was about to decline, but Miss Tang also chimed in, urging, "Xiao Yi, don’t you like quiet places the most when you paint? You might get disturbed in the dorm. Just take it, be a good girl."

Su Weiyi pressed her lips together and accepted it. She hadn’t wanted to do anything special, but now she really needed an environment to draw her chibi comics.

Su Weiyi had already uploaded several and her Weibo followers kept increasing; she was enjoying it more and more, and having a quiet place to draw seemed great.

She set aside her reluctance to be different and accepted the key. On the way back to school, she didn’t forget to message Sheng Yanxiao to show off a bit.

Back at school, as Su Weiyi was passing by the basketball court, she suddenly heard someone call her name. Looking up, she saw Lu Zhang throw his basketball to a teammate and come walking towards her.

Su Weiyi greeted him graciously.

Lu Zhang had just been exercising and puffed out a lot of white breath, his face flushed red. "I didn’t expect you to apply to Q University too. Didn’t you say you wouldn’t apply to B City or S City?"

"I changed my mind. I haven’t even congratulated you yet, top science student."

Lu Zhang scratched his head bashfully. "Have you eaten? Want to grab a meal together?"

Su Weiyi was just about to say she had already eaten, but her stomach let out a growl.

A bit embarrassed, she could only nod, "Sure."

The two sat down at the restaurant next to the basketball court. It was a well-known brand establishment, and they had to order food at the counter. Lu Zhang courteously asked Su Weiyi what she wanted to eat and then went to place the order himself. When Su Weiyi tried to follow, he pressed her back into the chair, "I’ll treat this time, you can treat next time. Xiao Yi, with so many people around, it wouldn’t be right for a girl to pay. Give me some face."

Since he put it that way, Su Weiyi didn’t argue, quietly sitting there waiting.
