CHAPTER 793: CHAPTER 797: THE SLACKER’S RED ENVELOPE GROUP (PART 4)

Listening to the commotion outside, Su Li wanted to laugh until she squawked like a goose.

Hah, such a pretense of strength.

When lunchtime came around, Shi Tong, always the proactive one, routinely asked her two other roommates about their plans. Su Li, as usual, asked her to bring back food, while Yu Xiaohua shrank in her own space, silently gnawing on a book, nibbling on a tough corn bun, her expression gloomy.

Her entire being seemed to emit the message: "Come comfort me, ask me what’s wrong."

If you don’t ask me, I won’t tell.

Honestly, having a gloomy "mushroom" in the dormitory that could pollute the mood of everyone was something that made people extremely uncomfortable.

Shi Tong, who was quite straightforward herself, saw that Yu Xiaohua was not in high spirits and didn’t wish to speak more, so she simply skipped over her and brought back lunch just for Su Li.

By the afternoon, the low pressure in the dorm room had intensified.

When Lin Yaoguang pushed the door open and entered, she immediately frowned, her gaze lingering on the overcast Yu Xiaohua a few times before she softly said, "I’m back, and I brought a lot of tasty treats for you all."

Hearing her voice, Su Li also opened her bed curtains, climbed down from the bed, and Shi Tong, even more dramatically, cried out mushily, "Yaoguang, I love you." Then she bounded over to Lin Yaoguang as quickly as possible.

Lin Yaoguang was a long-haired beauty, with a gentle and delicate voice, not only popular in their dorm but also in their class and throughout the school.

Even Su Li, typically aloof towards Lin Yaoguang, softened a bit.

Who doesn’t like a well-behaved, obedient, and cute kid?

Yu Xiaohua, having felt rotten all day, took this opportunity to move over as well, although her facial expression did not quite match the joyful atmosphere in the room.

But the people of dorm 403 were used to it by now, even Su Li, who had just had a confrontation with her, acted as if there were no hard feelings.

This left Yu Xiaohua, who continuously thought that Su Li was targeting her, somewhat groundless.

Su Li’s unemotional expression let her know that the morning’s argument was truly just the other person stating a fact.

The peace she had managed to restore within herself began to toss and turn chaotically in her mind again.

Especially when Lin Yaoguang laid out a suitcase full of imported snacks on the table, Yu Xiaohua’s discomfort peaked.

"These you’ve never tasted before, they are not sold in our country, they’re really delicious. My beloved uncle especially brought them back for me."

Lin Yaoguang flipped her hair back, boasting proudly.

Hearing this, Su Li and Shi Tong knew she was seizing an opportunity to show off that doting uncle of hers again.

But to Yu Xiaohua’s ears, it sounded like a put-down.

The casual look that Lin Yaoguang cast her way felt like a pinprick to her.

Just by looking at those snacks, they seemed expensive—perhaps one pack could equal a week’s worth of her living expenses.

Some people are just so lucky.

Su Li: "Yeah, I’ve never tasted these before."

Lin Yaoguang grew even happier, stuffing a pack into each of their arms, "Try them out, they’re super delicious."

Su Li and Shi Tong immediately opened the packages and began eating, commenting as they did, "These really taste great."

Only Yu Xiaohua, holding the pack as if it weighed a ton, put on an obviously forced smile and barely managed, "I, I’d rather not eat it, I don’t have much appetite."

After saying this, she hurriedly stuffed the snacks back into Lin Yaoguang’s arms.

Lin Yaoguang: "..." Once again her warm gesture met with a cold shoulder, another blow to her enthusiasm.

Fortunately, the other two’s eager reception brightened her spirits to share a little more.

The dormitory was immediately divided, with Xiao Hua silently flipping through her book on one side, and Su Li and the others crunching on snacks like little squirrels on the other.

At this moment, if someone uninformed walked in, they would definitely get the wrong idea.

A silent treatment in the bedroom and a vivid imagination of clique exclusion could immediately produce several versions of a drama.

The contrast was stark with one side’s desolate backdrop looking pitiful, and the other side’s joyful noise and rowdy laughter.

Su Li munched on weird-flavored potato chips, casting a glance over at Xiao Hua’s side, huh, the pages of Xiao Hua’s textbook hadn’t turned for several minutes; why was it still on the same page?

"Could you guys keep it down, I’m trying to study here."

Su Li: "Sorry, we disturbed you, we’ll go outside to eat."

Lin Yaoguang and Shi Tong also realized their actions were distracting Xiao Hua and immediately stopped what they were doing, sincerely apologizing to her.

Su Li, with a bag of her favorite snacks, pushed open the dorm door, with Lin Yaoguang and Shi Tong following close behind.

Anyone who is dedicated to learning and shows it through their actions is to be commended.

"Are you all doing this on purpose, thinking I have bad grades? Are you mocking me by saying that?"

Xiao Hua burst into tears again.

Su Li turned around, completely baffled, "What?"

Such strange thought processes, she really couldn’t understand.

Lin Yaoguang and Shi Tong made faces at each other on the sly: look, here it goes again, it’s so tiresome. It seemed like no matter what they did, they would hit a sensitive nerve.

Su Li didn’t bother going out after all, and returned to the dorm with her snacks.

She said earnestly to Xiao Hua: "You’re not Lin Mei." So maybe you can cut down on the tears.

A statement as random as it gets caused Xiao Hua’s mournful expression to freeze for a few seconds, but when she realized what was said, her face looked even worse.

She covered her face and rushed out.

Lin Yaoguang and Shi Tong were somewhat concerned, wondering if they had gone too far.

Su Li actually felt the air around her become refreshing.

Dealing with a person full of negative energy really tests someone.

Everyone is new at being human, oh wait, she wasn’t new at this—well, everyone is human, isn’t everyone precious?

The whole world is your parents, and everyone has to indulge you, right?

Actually, when Su Li was in her past life and this life, during her freshman year of high school, Xiao Hua wasn’t like this at all.

In her past life, the original Su Li was very attentive to the young ladies’ feelings and also took good care of Xiao Hua, seemingly giving her the wrong impression.

In this life, with Su Li’s intervention, even though she was indifferent, Lin Yaoguang, and Shi Tong were naturally warm-hearted and ended up spoiling Xiao Hua.

If a normal person came across friends like Little Suns, even the gloomiest person would probably be charmed.

But poor thing, she met Xiao Hua, who was an oddball.

The original Su Li was kind to her, yet she felt it was out of pity and disrespect.

If the original Su Li ignored her, she still felt disrespected.

No matter what, it was always disrespect in her eyes, whatever you did was wrong.

It seemed like the whole world owed her an apology.
