Since Lin Fuxi kept it a secret, Jin Ruilin and Meng Yuxi had no idea that she was heading to Jiaoyuan City for recruitment as well.
That was why both of them were utterly surprised when they heard about it.
“You’re going as well? Why did you not tell us about it?” Jin Ruilin asked.
“It’s not like it’s something amazing. That’s why I didn’t say,” Lin Fuxi said as if she didn’t care. “It’d make me look like I was boasting if I said it.”
Tan Mo could tell that Lin Fuxi was taunting her.
The reason was that when she returned to the dorm to pack her stuff, she told Jin Ruilin and Meng Yuxi that she was heading to Jiaoyuan City.
She felt that it was necessary as she would be on leave for a few days, and her roommates would worry about her if she didn’t inform them about it.
Yet, when Lin Fuxi heard about it, it felt as if Tan Mo was boasting.
Jin Ruilin and Meng Yuxi also knew that Lin Fuxi was mocking Tan Mo and didn’t want to entertain her.
With how Lin Fuxi was, having that weird impression every day, it would be tiring for them if they had to entertain her all the time.
“Why don’t you head out first?” Tan Mo sighed. “I’m still waiting for my friend.”
“I’ll wait with you,” Lin Fuxi suddenly said shamelessly. “By friend, do you mean Ming Yeqing?”
Before that, Lin Fuxi had learned that Ming Yeqing would be heading to Xiangnan City.
Even though Tan Mo and Lin Fuxi had been living in the same room for three years, they weren’t close to each other.
The time they actually spent together was scarce.
That was why Tan Mo had no idea Lin Fuxi had been more cunning recently.
Tan Mo studied her roommate for a while before saying, “Not just Qing. I’m waiting for Muye as well. Why do you only mention Qing when I have two best friends?”
Lin Fuxi was stunned and quickly explained, “I’m saying that because I heard Ming Yeqing would be going as well. Of course, I know she’s your best friend.” She was holding herself from rolling her eyes back as she thought Tan Mo was boasting about the fact that she was close to the daughter of the Qin family.
“Oh? Muye is going as well,” Tan Mo said and studied Lin Fuxi’s expression. She didn’t continue until she saw the surprise on the roommate’s face. “Muye is going to Xiangnan City with Qing. Even though we are best friends, she chose to go with Qing and not me… Qing too. The first thing he said was to let Muye follow him and didn’t even give me the chance to say anything.”
Lin Fuxi’s expression changed again. That hint was more than enough for Tan Mo to know that she should keep an eye on Lin Fuxi.
Tan Mo was also sure that Qin Muye would not be able to handle Lin Fuxi.
“You aren’t even acquainted with them,” Tan Mo said without holding back. “Wouldn’t it be weird if I suddenly took you to meet them? So, can you please head to the gathering point first? We’ll catch up with you.”
“Fine!” Lin Fuxi nodded. She still didn’t leave, clearly wanting Tan Mo to leave first.
Tan Mo didn’t move either. She blinked and asked, “Don’t tell me you’re planning to wait for me to leave first, then catch up to me after that? Is that so you can act as if you ran into us? Since we’re kind people, you are sure that we won’t ask you to leave us alone. When that happens, you could use that chance to talk with Qing.”
Both Jin Ruilin and Meng Yuxi widened their eyes.
‘Momo, wasn’t that too frank?’
Jin Ruilin reacted to Tan Mo’s words faster than Meng Yuxi.
She noticed that Tan Mo emphasized Ming Yeqing by putting his name at the end of her sentence.
Jin Ruilin couldn’t help but turn to look at Lin Fuxi in awe, wondering if her roommate was actually thinking of dating Ming Yeqing.
Since Ming Yeqing had been keeping a low profile, no one knew his family’s situation.
From how Ming Yeqing talked, and the fact that there were students who witnessed Ming Yeqing coming to school in a luxurious car, it was safe to say he came from a rich family.
Plus, he was also best friends with Tan Mo and Qin Muye.
Tan Mo was the daughter of the Tan family, the family who owned the best furniture company in the country and had invested in the Legend of Wei and Jin.
As for Qin Muye, her background was even more impressive.
Even though the Tan family wasn’t one of the most prestigious families, it was already riding on a jet toward that title.
As for the Qin family, it was one of the best families in the country.
Ming Yeqing had been friends with them since they were little. One didn’t need to be smart to know that he had studied at Jixia Academy before coming to Beijing University.
As for who would be able to study at Jixia Academy, everyone knew.
No matter how hard Ming Yeqing tried to hide it, that was more than enough to prove that he came from one of the prestigious families as well.
Even if he didn’t come from a rich family, he was able to get accepted into Beijing University at the age of 15 and even became part of Professor Yue’s research team.
That was already enough for him to have a bright future ahead of him.
Meng Yuxi didn’t understand all that until she saw the sudden change in Jin Ruilin’s expression.
They understood why Lin Fuxi was suddenly interested in Ming Yeqing. If she were to date him, she would be able to have a footing in B City, which would save her a lot of hard work.
The only thing Lin Fuxi did not realize was that she was three years older than Ming Yeqing.
It wasn’t as if the two roommates were looking down on her for liking a guy younger than her, but Ming Yeqing had just become an adult.
Even if she were to like a guy younger than her, it was still weird for her to go after an 18-year-old guy.
Yet, Jin Ruilin and Meng Yuxi had to commend Lin Fuxi for having the guts to think of such a thing. The only weird part was that Lin Fuxi had never even once spoken to Ming Yeqing, and she was already thinking so far ahead.
Jin Ruilin and Meng Yuxi could not understand why Lin Fuxi wouldn’t just lower her expectation a little. Even though they might not be as good as Ming Yeqing, there were still a lot of other good options at Beijing University. There were also a lot of them who were born and raised in B City.
There was no need for Lin Fuxi to set Ming Yeqing as her target.
On the other hand, Jin Ruilin and Meng Yuxi had boyfriends who were also students at Beijing University.
However, they weren’t from B City.
They did promise their own other half that they would continue with their graduate studies. Once they graduated from that, they would find a job in B City.
They even said that if they were still together after they graduated, they would work hard together so that they could have a stable living in B City without cutting any shortcuts.
What Jin Ruilin and Meng Yuxi did not expect was that Lin Fuxi would want to take that shortcut.
The only problem was that the shortcut was blocked.
The two of them looked at each other without saying anything.
“W-what are you talking about?” Lin Fuxi exclaimed, not expecting that Tan Mo would see through her plan. “I’ll go first then! You disgust me with your wild imagination!”
Just like that, Lin Fuxi dragged her suitcase and left.
Since Tan Mo didn’t want to run into her until they were at the gathering point, she waited for a few minutes before saying goodbye to her other two roommates.
When she arrived outside Qin Muye’s dorm, her two best friends were already waiting for her.
“Sorry to keep you two waiting.” Tan Mo jogged over to them.
“No worries. We also just got here,” Qin Muye said. She then whispered, “The girl that just came out not long ago… She’s your roommate, right? What’s her name again? Lin something?”
