When Ji Xiaoli returned to the dormitory, Qin Xiangxiang was packing up her things and about to leave.
Qin Xiangxiang's father's company had now declared bankruptcy.
According to the original plan, as a junior this year, Qin Xiangxiang was supposed to start preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination. Unfortunately, with her family's decline and her reputation ruined because of the school forum incident, after much thought, she decided it was better to suspend her school status and leave school first.
It was said that she had already found a small enterprise to do an internship.
"Phew, I... I've packed up."
Qin Xiangxiang dragged her suitcase and walked to the door.
Today she was wearing a simple dress and had no makeup on. She looked fresh and clean, which was actually more pleasing to the eye than before.
However, the sparkle in her eyes was gone. She pursed her lips and looked at the two people in the dormitory - Tao Tao and Yang Xiaoyang were each busy with their own things and no one paid attention to her.
"Well, Tao Tao, Xiaoyang, we'll..."
"Hey, Xiaoli!"
Tao Tao suddenly waved her hand excitedly, and her gaze directly passed over Qin Xiangxiang at the door.
Qin Xiangxiang turned around and sure enough saw Ji Xiaoli.
"Xiaoli..." Qin Xiangxiang lowered her head shyly and angrily. As if thinking of something, she bit her lip and firmly raised her head.
"Xiaoli, the money I owe you..."
"Are you leaving today?" Ji Xiaoli gave a faint smile and interrupted her.
After Qin Xiangxiang nodded, she still stubbornly brought the topic back: "Yes, I'm leaving today. So if I just leave like this now, your money will really be gone. Although I know that for a family like yours, that money is nothing, but..."
"Ouch~~" Tao Tao curled her lips and said sourly to Yang Xiaoyang, "Listen, isn't she saying the opposite?"
Yang Xiaoyang also giggled and echoed: "Yes, usually when we say 'a family like this', don't we mean ourselves?"
Hearing their banter, Qin Xiangxiang's face burned even more.
She tightened her grip on the handle of the suitcase, fished out a card from her overcoat pocket, and stuffed it into Ji Xiaoli's hand without looking back.
"There's almost 30,000 yuan in this card. You take it first. I'll pay back the rest slowly."
Ji Xiaoli looked at the card in her hand and slightly raised her eyebrows: "Where... did you get the money?"
"I sold some of my necklaces and bracelets to scrape it together."
Before Ji Xiaoli could say anything, Qin Xiangxiang added: "Of course, this can only count as paying back 25,000 yuan. The extra 5,000..."
Qin Xiangxiang pursed her lips tightly. As if making a great determination, she said frankly: "The extra 5,000 is what I... took from your overcoat pocket at the beginning."
The moment those last two words squeezed out of her mouth, Ji Xiaoli's eyes widened in surprise.
So, that 5,000 yuan she lost at the beginning was actually taken like this...
"I'm sorry..."
Qin Xiangxiang gritted her teeth and said it again: "I'll pay you back double in the future."
After saying that, she lowered her head and dragged her suitcase away.
She just didn't have the face to stay here and face the three of them anymore!
If she could, she even wanted to dig a hole and hide in it!!
"Qin Xiangxiang."
Unexpectedly, just as Qin Xiangxiang took two steps, Ji Xiaoli grabbed her wrist.
"Um, good luck in the future." After all, they had been roommates for three years, and Ji Xiaoli wasn't that hateful towards her. Ji Xiaoli smiled at her: "Qin Xiangxiang, I'll share half of my good luck with you."
Qin Xiangxiang was stunned.
She stared at Ji Xiaoli with red eyes.
If Yuan Fang had taken a picture of this scene, it might have become a great piece of news again. But unfortunately, Yuan Fang didn't come, but the annoying system did.
[Good luck can only be enjoyed by the player alone. It cannot be divided, transferred, or given away!]
Ji Xiaoli: ... I'm just saying it.
[Please give the system at least some respect!!!]
"Ji Xiaoli, I don't have much to give you, but..."
Qin Xiangxiang held back the sourness in her eyes, opened her suitcase, rummaged around, and took out a photo.
"This, Zhong Canxi's autographed photo. Do you still want it? If you do, I can give it to you."
Hearing this, Ji Xiaoli's eyes immediately sparkled.
Even Tao Tao and Yang Xiaoyang, who were watching the show on the side, were shocked and looked over.
It was Zhong Canxi!!
It was Zhong Canxi's autographed photo!
He was the idol that Ji Xiaoli had liked for almost three years, and the autographed photo that Qin Xiangxiang had treasured under her pillow for a long time!
Although Ji Xiaoli would be able to meet Zhong Canxi in person under Wei Yanlan's arrangement in a week, receiving the autographed photo at this moment still made Ji Xiaoli extremely excited.
In the excitement and a bit of dizziness, Ji Xiaoli grabbed Qin Xiangxiang and said: "Are you really leaving just like this? How about a final spree?"
Qin Xiangxiang was puzzled.
Ji Xiaoli continued to be excited: "The four of us together! I'll pay the bill! Are you in?"
Tao Tao and Yang Xiaoyang were confused.
However, no one would turn down free money.
Three hours later, the four girls had linked arms and wandered all over the large shopping mall, and each of them was carrying big and small shopping bags.
To be exact, it was Ji Xiaoli linking arms with Tao Tao and Yang Xiaoyang, while the three of them carried the big and small bags - come on, how could they let the benefactor do the heavy lifting?
And the benefactor, Ji Xiaoli, was in a great mood at this moment. She hummed a song and contentedly felt the good luck value in her mind climb from 10,879 to 10,908, and then to 11,888!!
Finally, a firework exploded, and the system prompted her: [Congratulations, player! You have exceeded the weekly good luck task!]
[Reminder to the player, your romantic luck is soaring. There is romantic luck ahead. Please seize the opportunity~~]
Just as Ji Xiaoli was thinking, Tao Tao exclaimed and pointed to the front of a cosmetics store.
In the corner, there was a human-shaped standee lying on the ground.
"This isn't..." Tao Tao craned her neck to look and then her eyes widened in shock, "Isn't this Zhong Canxi?"
Ji Xiaoli squinted and took a look. Sure enough, it was!
Zhong Canxi's face, which was comparable to a stunning beauty, was a bit distorted because of the tilted standee, and there were also a lot of stains from the tip of his nose to his lips - but even so, a handsome guy was still a handsome guy!
"Hey, your spokesperson has fallen!"
Just as a salesperson came out, Tao Tao quickly called out.
Unexpectedly, the salesperson glanced at the "Zhong Canxi" on the ground, pursed her lips, and said contemptuously: "Let it lie there. Anyway, we're going to throw it away soon."
"Throw it away?!"
Tao Tao was so surprised that her voice suddenly got much louder.
Ji Xiaoli quickly pressed her down and asked in a gentler tone: "Why is that? Is the skincare product he endorses not selling well?"
"It's not that it's not selling well," the salesperson said coldly, "but rather, no one is buying it at all!"
