Chapter 505: Chapter 505: An Accidental Encounter with Cheng Ziyuan
Chi Youyou had no idea she was being watched. Together with Chu Beining, they found the other exchange students, and within a short time, they had made plenty of friends.
And as for Ji Changqing, there’s no need to mention—handsome people are popular wherever they go.
It’s just that he doesn’t like to talk much outside, so many of the beauties who came to chat with him left disappointed, although they kept glancing back at him.
"Senior, you’re irresistible~"
Chi Youyou deliberately teased him, her eyes casually sweeping over to Li Mei in the crowd.
She saw her at the banquet—no matter how well she tried to hide, she wasn’t blind.
This Li Mei.
"Senior, there’s something I need your help with."
She linked arms with Chu Beining, strolling around the campus with them.
"What kind of help? Just say it, no need to be so formal~"
Chu Beining was always straightforward and direct by nature.
She lowered her voice and whispered in her ear, "Are you familiar with this Li Mei?"
"Li Mei?"
Though Chu Beining had a broad character, she was actually very detail-oriented. From Chi Youyou’s tone, she realized there must be something up, so she also lowered her voice on purpose.
"I’m not very familiar with her, just know some basic info. Her family isn’t wealthy; she relies on her academic performance to get motivational scholarships every year... What about her?"
Chi Youyou briefly recounted what happened yesterday, and Chu Beining was stunned. Li Mei attending Mr. Cheng’s birthday party?
That’s absolutely impossible!
Unless she used some kind of special means.
Chi Youyou had a hunch; it had to be Cheng Xueyi, no other possibility. She just couldn’t figure out how they got connected.
Could it be money?
Money makes the world go round.
"Speaking of this, did you know each other before?"
Chu Beining suddenly thought of something and asked.
Chi Youyou shook her head.
"Before going abroad, she asked about you."
If she hadn’t mentioned it today, she wouldn’t have connected these two things at all.
At that time, she thought Li Mei was just asking casually, but now it makes sense—she was probing for information about Chi Youyou.
After listening to Chu Beining, Chi Youyou nodded, "Let’s not worry about this for now. But I do need a favor, keep an eye on her movements for me."
"No problem."
After wandering around with Chu Beining for a while, she had to go prepare a speech. Ji Changqing was supposed to accompany her, but she eventually refused—she didn’t want to become the enemy of all the girls!
Ji Changqing felt helpless; he just wanted to talk to her about onions.
"Cousin Ziyan!"
Chi Youyou glanced around at various stalls, feeling like the school had become a food fair. Being here finally relaxed her as the past few days had been overwhelming for her.
She had just come of age, a beautiful time to be young, yet she was burdened with all sorts of issues, sigh.
Isn’t this what they call ’more capable, more work’?
As she walked, she bumped into Cheng Ziyuan, waving to her enthusiastically.
Cheng Ziyuan had actually noticed her a while ago, but she couldn’t bring herself to greet her first. Now with Chi Youyou greeting her, she naturally had a way out.
"What are you doing here?"
"Cousin Ziyan, today is the welcome party for exchange students, and I’m one of them. Did you forget?"
Cheng Ziyuan pouted; she certainly knew, otherwise, she wouldn’t be here today!
This girl, why is she smiling so cutely!
Dammit, I just want to pinch her!
