Rebirth: CEO's Sweetheart Reaches the Life Pinnacle!-Chapter 203 - 191 She’s Quite Tenacious_2

"Sure! By the way, where are they from?" Li Si was excited. Being in a new and unfamiliar environment, meeting someone she could connect with felt nice.

"Them? One’s from Qinghai, and the other is also from Beijing. They went out before you arrived! I don’t like vegetarian food, so that’s why I could meet you just in time. Maybe after we finish eating and head back to the dorm, you’ll get to see them. They’re pretty easy to get along with!"

Liu Xiaole didn’t want to talk behind anyone’s back—whether it was good or bad. She preferred to let Li Si form her own opinions. So, she only said they were "pretty easy to get along with." But Li Si, reading between the lines, picked up that there might be some nuance there.

"Well, that’s good!" Li Si thought she’d meet them soon anyway, so she didn’t press further.

The restaurant Liu Xiaole recommended, famous for its bone stew, turned out to be truly delicious. Over the course of the meal, their friendship grew by leaps and bounds, changing from formal full-name addresses to a more casual "Sisi" and "Xiao Le."

After eating, Liu Xiaole took Li Si to the supermarket near the school. They bought some essentials like basins and towels, and both grabbed a bag of snacks. The two headed back to the dorm, laughing and joking along the way.

As soon as they entered the dorm, two girls sitting together looking at photos raised their heads to glance at them.

Liu Xiaole warmly introduced everyone: "This is our dorm’s new roommate, Li Si. Li Si, this is Ling Wei and Du Juan!"

Li Si instantly recognized one of the petite girls, lightly made-up—Ling Wei, someone she’d coincidentally bumped into twice in Bali. What kind of fate was this?

Ling Wei also immediately recognized Li Si. Her face burned with embarrassment as regret flashed over the weak excuse she’d once made up.

"Hello, everyone! I hope we can get along well together!" Li Si composed herself quickly, her expression returning to calm. Pretending not to know Ling Wei, she smiled politely and greeted them.

Seeing Li Si act this way, Ling Wei responded with equal friendliness: "Hello!" Secretly, she hoped Li Si had a tight-lipped nature. If Li Si ever spilled the story from Bali, she’d never live it down.

Originally, Ling Wei assumed their overseas encounter was a mere coincidence. She hadn’t even fully understood why she’d acted so impulsively then. Since returning to China, she’d occasionally thought about Leng Bing, that man. But ultimately, it had been a fleeting meeting in a vast crowd. Even if she wanted to find him again, it wasn’t guaranteed she’d succeed.

Besides, her boyfriend Wang Zhe treated her well. He had good character and came from a solid family background. By all measures, she shouldn’t have been entertaining unnecessary thoughts. Given her circumstances, Wang Zhe was a perfectly suitable match.

Yet, who would’ve thought Li Si would end up at her school, sharing the same dorm? The discomfort Ling Wei felt was mixed with a small stir of anticipation—was there a chance she’d encounter that man again?

The girl named Du Juan had a thin frame, a short bob haircut, and wasn’t in great complexion. The redness on her cheeks hinted at high-altitude flush, her single eyelids giving her eyes a somewhat dull appearance as she sized up Li Si. Finally, she tugged at the corner of her mouth and casually said: "Hi."

Liu Xiaole, seeing introductions had been made, returned to her desk. She put down her bag and, deciding not to go out that afternoon, changed into her white pajamas adorned with cartoon bears.

Du Juan approached Li Si in a curious manner, asking: "Li Si, I’m from Qinghai. Where are you from? What does your family do?"

"I’m from North City. My family runs a small shop," Li Si replied modestly, not wanting to share too much. She chose to stay low-key but also avoided playing poor. Everyone would judge based on how she acted going forward, and they’d see for themselves what she was like eventually.

Besides, Ling Wei had already seen her in Bali with Leng Mochen. Li Si had no doubt Ling Wei could piece together the rest. As for the coincidence of seeing Ling Wei again, Li Si felt indifferent. But a lack of fondness for her was inevitable—perhaps their fates simply weren’t aligned.

"Ah, I see! So, your family must be pretty well-off, right? You can tell from your clothes and things! Hey, do you have a boyfriend?" Du Juan prattled on, hoping to dig out more information.

With two locals already in the dorm, Du Juan didn’t want to be the only outsider. Thankfully, Li Si was from out of town too. However, seeing that Li Si seemed well-off made Du Juan feel a tiny pang of discomfort. frёewebηovel.cѳm

Li Si placed the items she’d bought into the cabinet, ignoring the barrage of questions. She simply replied briefly: "Not bad," then went to the restroom to wash her hands.

When she emerged, Ling Wei and Du Juan were no longer in the dorm.

Liu Xiaole, earbuds in, was absorbed in a novel. She flipped a page while listening to music. Taking out a bag of chips, Li Si tossed it onto her bed. "Here, for you!"

"Thanks!" Liu Xiaole removed one earbud and asked curiously: "Sisi, can I ask you something?"
