Chapter 31 The Four Beauties of the University

Shi Shi was fine, of course; her family was Bi Lei, who had just returned to Kyoto.

The four beauties of the university dormitory: Bao Yiting lives with her parents; she's a local from Kyoto, and her family is in the import/export trade. She used to live abroad, but lately she's been incredibly busy. She could only arrange to come to Shi Shi's house in the evening. Bi Lei passed the civil service exam and became a village official; she's the only one of the four who didn't stay in Kyoto after graduation. Wu Ruirui is Lu Qi's girlfriend from the same neighborhood as Shi Shi, and she's the only one in the dormitory from a poor family.

Of the four, only Wu Ruirui had a casual relationship with the others, not just because she wasn't in the same major as the other three, but also because she almost never participated in dormitory gatherings. It was too expensive. After all, who among those who got into Kyoto University wasn't a top student?

Wu Ruirui was a top student. She was the top scorer in the national college entrance examination that year. To put that into perspective, out of a total score of 750, Wu Ruirui scored 733. There was another reason why their relationship with Wu Ruirui was only so-so.

Fear of the god of learning.

While Bao Yiting was shopping, Wu Ruirui, relying on her academic genius, was charging exorbitant tutoring fees.

While Bi Lei was watching TV dramas, Wu Ruirui was simultaneously signing up for various competitions while receiving a first-class scholarship.

Hmph, men will only slow down her sword-drawing speed.

Everyone assumed that Wu Ruirui would pursue further studies after graduating from university. Unexpectedly, she chose the highest-paying private company. Many said she was short-sighted, and some classmates even gloated, advising her not to focus only on the present. But now, three years later, Wu Ruirui has successfully settled down in the capital city on her own.

Her WeChat Moments are filled with likes. Those sarcastic remarks are gone forever.

They might talk behind your back, but who would humiliate themselves to your face?

Bi Lei ruffled Wu Ruirui's shoulder-length short hair: "I never expected Wu Ruirui to fall in love. I definitely have to meet this person. Who can win over a fully-fledged female warrior?"

Fresh melons must be eaten.

While eating potato chips, Bao Yiting asked, "Am I handsome? Do you have any coins?"

Shi Shi thought for a moment: "He's alright, averagely handsome. He lives in one of the buildings in front of mine. Not in a cramped apartment like mine. He should be well-off."

The apartment complex is a new development from three years ago, so there's no possibility it was inherited property. Although Kyoto's housing prices weren't outrageous back then, they were still beyond the reach of most people.

Bi Lei rolled her eyes: "It's pointless to ask her. Her aesthetic sense is all about looks like Fu Zhixu's. If she says he's average, then he must be a really handsome guy."

Bao Yiting nodded in agreement.

"Let's go shopping and get our hair and makeup done tomorrow during the day. We can meet up with Rui Rui and her boyfriend. I'm going to be the star of the class reunion tonight." Don't let Bi Lei's cute face and adorable voice fool you; she's a solid 176cm tall. Even Shi Shi, who's 168cm, looks tiny in her arms.

A little girl's face, and her dad's height.

“I agree, especially you, Shi Shi! You have to dress me up nicely! Maybe it'll give you a second spring in your life!” Bao Yiting immediately perked up. After saying that, she was about to send a message to her familiar stylist.

Shi Shi quickly stopped her: "My dear, please. I don't want to be made a fool of!"

Bao Yiting's taste has always been a subject of much criticism. Well, she prefers the makeup and styling of a successful businesswoman. It's as if wearing high heels would magically increase her height from 155cm to 185cm. I just don't understand it, but I'll silently respect her choice.

"You're such a useless piece of trash!"

Shi Shi quickly retreated; she couldn't win this argument, not even a little bit.
