Tang Chi felt this question was a little funny. She opened her eyes slightly and glanced at Ni Jieya, “What relationship do you think there is?”
Ni Jieya, who blurted out the question initially, held back and gritted her teeth when she saw Tang Chi’s reaction, “Somone saw you talking to Zhou Lingcai…”
Mainly it was because she never heard of Tang Chi knowing Zhou Lingcai.
Zhou Lingcai was one of the most good looking guys in the finance major. He was from a rather rich family and was quite playful in school, thus had a lot of followers. Basically he was considered a popular person in this age group.
It was not surprising that Ni Jieya liked Zhou Lingcai. She even knew that Han Tian and Zhou Lingcai were in the same circle. However, Han Tian was not close to Ni Jieya so naturally, she wouldn’t bring her into Zhou Lingcai’s circle. Ni Jieya was not outstanding in any way and so she couldn’t attract Zhou Lingcai as well.
However in this dormitory, to Ni Jieya, Tang Chi was considered average just like her. Even though Tang Chi was actually quite good looking, otherwise she wouldn’t be considered a college belle. However, because of Tang Chi’s personality that always allowed others to mistreat her, in addition, Han Tian was not always friendly towards Tang Chi like today, Ni Jieya naturally thought of Tang Chi was just like her.
Now that Tang Chi caught Zhou Lingcai’s attention, Ni Jieya felt that the balance had been broken.
Ni Jieya felt very uneasy and so she could not help but blurted out the question and asked Tang Chi what was going on.
“What’s wrong with talking to him? Does that mean I must have something going on with him?”
Tang Chi looked at Ni Jieya with a smile that doesn’t reach her eyes, “I don’t know him. He just asked me to bring something up for Han Tian, that’s all.”
Han Tian was listening all along. She knew what was going on when she heard Ni Jieya questioning Tang Chi.
Ni Jieya glanced at Han Tian. Han Tian looked at her with a faint ridicule smile on her face. Ni Jieya’s heart was in knots and felt this was really unfair.
All this while, she and Tang Chi was in the same situation. Ni Jieya wanted to join Han Tian’s circle. After all, Han Tian was local and from a rich family. Those in her circle were all from rich families. Ni Jieya was not local and from an average family background. Han Tian was not willing to talk to her, let alone bringing her into her circle.
If it weren’t for them being in the same dormitory, Han Tian wouldn’t even pay attention to her.
Han Tian did not bring Tang Chi out much too. However, she still behaved differently towards Tang Chi compared to Ni Jieya. When Tang Chi talked to her, she will still respond. If it was Ni Jieya, she would pretend not to hear her.
How could Ni Jieya be okay with this?
Of course, she wanted to be on Han Tian’s good side. Han Tian ignored her and this kind of contempt will naturally be shifted towards Tang Chi.
Especially now, this contempt had turned into a fit of unknown anger. Ni Jieya raised her voice, “If you don’t know him, why would he ask you to bring it up?”
The dormitory was quiet.
Tang Chi’s expression instantly gathered.
Han Tian who couldn’t believe what she was hearing, opened her mouth. She had not uttered a word yet when Sai Wenwen, who was watching anime, pressed paused on her keyboard and asked out softly, “What’s going on?”
Ni Jieya’s voice was loud and it sounded like an argument.
Han Tian frowned, walked over to Ni Jieya and sarcastically said, “How is that any of your business? Tang Chi already said she did not know him. How would she know why did Zhou Lingcai find her? Why don’t you ask him yourself? Why ask Tang Chi? As if someone owes you something?”
She was very straight forward and domineering. When she said this, Ni Jieya bit her lips tightly and did not dare to refute her.
