The short-haired girl felt like this was a test from the heavens.
On one hand, she knew she shouldn't befriend the new student. On the other hand, she was being offered the very meal she had just been craving. After three seconds of internal struggle, she made the difficult decision to refuse,
"...No, thanks..."
"I bought a lot," Tang Tang handed her a pair of chopsticks, "You haven't eaten, right?"
Dong Yu: ...
"...Well then, I won't be polite."
Tang Tang smiled and glanced at Feng Qingyang and the other girl. "How about you two?"
Tang Tang had recognized Feng Qingyang, Tang Xin's desk mate, during the English class.
Feng Qingyang didn't even glance at the shrimp and refused coldly, "I'm not hungry!"
"Alright," Tang Tang sat down and picked up another pair of chopsticks. "Then I'll eat."
Feng Qingyang: ...
Shouldn't she have insisted a few more times? Just asking once doesn't seem sincere at all!
Dong Yu, who had a straightforward personality, didn't hesitate to eat once Tang Tang offered. For her, a meal worth a few thousand wasn't a big deal; since Tang Tang treated her today, she could treat her back another day.
Girls can quickly find a topic to bond over, and after noticing that both she and Tang Tang were wearing the same Adidas shoes, Dong Yu casually brought up the coincidence. From there, the conversation flowed from shoes to discussing different styles of Adidas shoes, and eventually, they ended up talking about Dong Yu's siblings.
By the end of lunch, Tang Tang already knew where Dong Yu lived and how many people were in her family.
After the break, the four girls from the dorm went back to class together.
Students passing by were left gaping in shock as they saw Tang Tang walking alongside Feng Qingyang. When they entered the classroom, the classmates were even more bewildered.
What... was going on?
Tang Xin sat stiffly in her seat, watching Dong Yu and Tang Tang chatting and laughing together. She bit her lip uneasily before turning to Feng Qingyang and asking, "Qingyang... Tang Tang, she..."
"Our dorm was missing one person, and she just filled the spot," Feng Qingyang said irritably.
After hearing this, Tang Xin clenched her pen tightly.
Qingyang, Dong Yu, and Yang Tao had known each other since childhood, all coming from wealthy families. Tang Xin had put in so much effort to integrate herself into their group. Yet, despite her efforts, some things remained out of her reach. Her family wasn't poor, but they didn't have enough spare money to let her stay in the more expensive dorm. At lunch, she couldn't afford to casually order meals that cost hundreds or thousands like Qingyang and her friends.
She had always thought this didn't matter—after all, there were other girls with wealthy families that Qingyang still didn't want to hang out with. But Tang Tang was different.
Tang Tang now lived in the dorm that Tang Xin couldn't afford, and she was getting along with the very people Tang Xin had worked so hard to befriend.
At least, Tang Xin comforted herself, Qingyang still seemed impatient whenever she mentioned Tang Tang.
Under the surprised stares of the entire class, Tang Tang returned to her seat.
The girl in front of her hesitated for a long time before finally turning around and asking, "Uh... are you okay?"
