"Ok, class, listen up."
Roulan looks at the professor, who entered the room with a familiar student behind his back. She smiles and waves a little at the person, to which the person replies with a wave back.
"We have a new student. Kindly introduce yourself."
The person nodded and bowed down, looking around but stopping at Roulan.
"I'm Zhao Yanmei."
The professor and the other students wait for her next words, but it seems like she's not going to speak for a moment.
The professor sighed before continuing what he intended Yanmei to say.
"Please treat her well."
The students beam with a bright smile as they whisper with each other.
"She looks hot."
"Bro, I'll ask her out."
"Yeah, let's place a bet."
"Girls, another bitch is here."
"She doesn't look pretty like us."
"She smells and acts like she has a sugar daddy."
Yanmei sneered at the last comments before rolling her eyes. She looks at the professor, to whom the man replied with a nod, and she strides forward.
"Hey, sexy, why don't you sit down on my lap?"
A guy quickly grabs her arms as she walks and pulls her down on his lap. He projected a perverted smile, to which Yanmei replied with a disgusted face.
"Excuse me, but no."
Yanmei quickly replied and went away to Roulan's chair.
Fuck that guy; I'm trying to change my image for Roulan.
As she went and stood beside Roulan, the girl cleared her throat as the younger seemed to be a bit busy with what she was doing in her notebook.
Roulan looked up from her notebook and saw Yanmei standing beside her.
"Hey, do you mind me sitting beside you?"
The girl in question smiles as she stands up and pulls the chair beside her.
"You don't have to ask, you know; we're friends."
"Thanks."
The guys in their class glared at Roulan in disgust as she managed to land two beautiful chicks beside her, counting Huiqing as well, even though the girl was not in their class.
"Lucky bastard."
"Told you, girls, she's a loser."
"Ok, class is quiet; the class is starting."
-
"Roulan, let's eat outside."
Yanmei spoke as soon as the bell rang. Roulan fixes her things and looks at the older woman, furrowing her eyebrows in the process.
"We can't go out of campus."
"Yes, we can."
"We've tried that already, and we really can't."
Yanmei scoffs before grabbing Roulan's arm and dragging the girl away from their classroom.
"Wait, I still have to fetch Huiqing."
"Don't mind her."
Mind me, my love, don't you want me?
Roulan sighs before following Yanmei towards the gate. Yanmei looked at the guard as he nodded and opened the gates for them.
"Wait, you can really go out?"
"Just me."
Yanmei flexes as she looks at Roulan with a smile and runs to where her car is sitting.
"Woah, this car looks good."
"I have good taste, right?"
Yanmei said as she opened the door for Roulan, to which the younger replied by sitting down in the passenger seat.
Yanmei quickly closes the door and looks back at the university door, seeing Huiqing looking at them with a glare.
The older smirks at her and winks before entering the car and driving off campus at an insane speed.
"Woah! Careful, I still don't want to die."
Roulan said, gripping her seatbelt tightly. Yanmei glances at her and laughs, shaking her head in the process.
"Relax, I wouldn't let you die in my arms anyway."
"Then slow down!"
Yanmei nodded as she slowed the car. Roulan sighs in relief and looks around the area they are in.
She couldn't help but drop her jaw at how impressive the buildings looked in the area.
She roamed her eyes around until she felt the car stop in front of one of the buildings that she was looking at.
She looks at her back and sees Yanmei looking back at her with a small smile.
"Let's go and eat."
The older said as Roulan nodded and pushed the door open, quickly making her way towards Yanmei's door and opening it for the older.
"You don't have to do that."
Yanmei said, playfully hitting Roulan's shoulder, to which the younger replied with a smile.
"That's the only thing I can do because you let me get out for a while."
"No worries; since I invited you, then I shall treat you too."
Roulan shakes her head, closing the door slowly so as not to scratch the beautiful car that she had ridden into the expensive part of the city.
"You don't have to."
Yanmei shakes her head, clinging to Roulan's limbs with a wide smile that continues to spread across her lips.
Her cheeks became like squirrels eating nuts as she smiled widely, her eyes squinting into a slit.
Roulan looks at her, her eyebrows furrowing as she can't help but feel something weird as she continues to look at Yanmei's face.
"Let's go now."
Yanmei said, snapping Roulan away from her thoughts. The younger girl smiles as she holds Yanmei's hands, which are clinging to her right arm.
As they entered the restaurant, Roulan saw how the waiter bowed down, making her bow down as well, which Yanmei took notice of.
"You don't have to bow."
"Huh?"
Roulan looks at the girl in confusion.
"We're customers, so it's natural for them to respect us."
"Shouldn't we respect them as well? They wouldn't put on a good performance if we didn't."
"Oh honey, they are money-hungry, so they wouldn't do that."
Yanmei smiled at Roulan before dragging the girl to the side of the store.
Roulan furrowed her eyebrows as she saw that they were passing by where the tables are.
"Wait, isn't that the way we should sit down and eat?"
"Don't worry, I booked the VIP area so we can enjoy more."
-
It's been ten minutes since the food arrived and twenty minutes since Roulan and Yanmei reached the place. The two have been peacefully eating their desired dishes.
At least that's what Yanmei thought.
Roulan has been awkwardly stuffing her mouth with the food that's lying in front of her.
Not knowing whether she should treat Yanmei next because the girl insisted on ordering anything she wants and treating her.
But Roulan only ordered the cheapest she could get, and her eyes nearly teared up seeing the prices of the dishes.
"Roulan."
Yanmei called, putting her utensils down to talk to the younger.
Roulan looks up before putting on her utensils as well, looking at Yanmei in anticipation.
"Don't you remember me?"
The words of the older woman stuck inside Roulan's mind as her frown slowly became visible. Yanmei smiles at her, seeing how Roulan can't seem to remember the girl she met in the mall.
Also, the one she spent the night with, but again, she doesn't remember it.
"Why suddenly ask that?"
Roulan asks, getting a little curious about why Yanmei asks that.
The older shakes her head, grabs her utensils, and takes a bite of her dish.
"Nothing; I thought you remembered me."
"Why? Have we met before?"
"Guess it."
Yanmei challenged, her eyes staring at Roulan's deep ones with affection.
Roulan gulped before she grabbed the glass of water beside her, thinking hard about where she met the familiar presence of Yanmei.
She knew they'd met before, but where?
Is she that old to not remember someone with whom she interacted?
Maybe because they only interacted for a few minutes, but still, it's not like she's an oldie to not remember.
Ah-ha! It's that humble girl from the mall!
Ever since the interaction between Roulan and that nasty arrogant guy, she couldn't help but remember that one girl that the guy kept insisting was his girlfriend who said sorry for his action.
Roulan smiles and grabs Yanmei's hands, shocking the elder at her sudden action.
"Thank you for what happened back in the mall. I don't know what I'd do if he insisted on me buying that expensive watch."
"Don't worry, it's also his fault."
"Ah, someone's lucky to have you."
"Why are you calling yourself lucky?"
Yanmei smiles as she takes a bite from the dessert that she's been eating since Roulan starts to think but stops halfway as she gets shocked by her words.
Her eyes looked at Roulan, and she saw the girl looking at her, with her eyes widening as she processed what Yanmei said.
