Chapter 757: Sense of Inferiority

Translator:Dragon Boat TranslationEditor:Dragon Boat Translation

Zhou Cuians smile appeared somewhat awkward, unsure how to respond at that moment.

It was a topic she had never encountered before, given that even her first semesters tuition fees were sc.r.a.ped together by her family. It was highly likely that she would rely on student loans for her future tuition fees.

Unbeknownst to her, a sense of inferiority began to creep into her heart. Simultaneously, a feeling of ambition also quietly took root.

Ye Lengan smiled and nodded. If this doesnt burden your family, then I think its a good idea. Itll also be convenient for meals when you go home.

She never subscribed to the notion that university students shouldnt own cars. In reality, as long as the family could afford it and it served their convenience, why not?

You agree with me too! Zhu Bixuans eyes sparkled upon Ye Lengans affirmation. Ill call my family now to discuss.

With that said, she headed straight to the balcony outside and began her call.

Inside the dormitory, only Ye Lengan and Zhou Cuian remained.

Observing Zhu Bixuans enthusiastic demeanor, Ye Lengan couldnt help but chuckle. It was evident that Zhu Bixuan came from a well-off family and was likely a pampered child at home. Such individuals were quite easy to get along with.

Um Zhou Cuian glanced timidly at Ye Lengan before timidly speaking up, Lengan, what you said to Bixuan just now, wasnt it a bit inappropriate?

In her view, despite being university students now, they were still reliant on their families finances. Encouraging Zhu Bixuan to purchase a car seemed overly extravagant to Zhou Cuian.

Whats wrong with it? Ye Lengan was taken aback by Zhou Cuians sudden remark, then nonchalantly replied, Shes not a child anymore. Some decisions she can make on her own. If her decision truly affects her family, then her family probably wont agree either. If her family agrees, it means its within their acceptable range. Why should we, as bystanders, be overly concerned?

Though Zhou Cuian hesitated to respond further, her disagreement was evident from her expression. However, she refrained from further argument.

Ye Lengan noticed Zhou Cuians thoughts but wasnt bothered. After all, they had just met today, and the other partys opinions were inconsequential to her.

Thus, she began packing her belongings. Though not extensive, it was a bit scattered. Since she didnt ask for a.s.sistance, she handled everything herself.

Despite the small amount, Ye Lengan packed swiftly. In a matter of minutes, everything was sorted.

As she finished, Zhu Bixuan entered with a beaming smile, indicating a successful conversation with her family.

It was just as she expected.

Lengan, Cuian, I have good news. Zhu Bixuan couldnt wait to share. My parents agreed to buy me a car. During the National Day holiday, theyll take me to choose one.

Really? Ye Lengan smiled lightly. Thats good.

She had antic.i.p.ated this outcome. Zhu Bixuan wouldnt have mentioned it if she wasnt confident.

Meanwhile, Zhou Cuian appeared somewhat awkward. Thats great. Your family really spoils you!

Initially, she had doubted that Zhu Bixuans family would easily concede to such a significant purchase. Yet, to her surprise, they agreed so quickly.

Was the gap between people really that substantial?

Looking at her two dormmates, who treated buying a car as casually as buying a piece of clothing, made her ponder. But for her, even buying a new outfit required careful consideration, let alone purchasing a car.

Although they were all students at Capital University now, were their starting points really the same?

Zhou Cuian couldnt help but feel envious, jealous, and perplexed.

Zhu Bixuan, oblivious to Zhou Cuians inner turmoil, continued discussing excitedly with Ye Lengan about her car choices.

Although engaged in conversation with Zhu Bixuan, Ye Lengan glanced at the silent Zhou Cuian from the corner of her eye before casually retracting her gaze.

Seeing Zhou Cuians expression, Ye Lengan couldnt help but sigh.

For Zhou Cuian, this might indeed be a challenge! Transitioning suddenly from a small town to the bustling capital was a significant adjustment. If she couldnt stay true to herself, it wouldnt bode well for her. It might even have lasting repercussions.

However, although she noticed, Ye Lengan had no intention of intervening.

Sharing deep thoughts prematurely was taboo, and they had only just met today. They hadnt reached that level of familiarity.

Furthermore, Zhou Cuian was sensitive. If Ye Lengan broached the topic rashly, she might be misunderstood. Moreover, it was Zhou Cuians personal issue. Only she herself could overcome it.

By evening, their final roommate had yet to arrive.

Lets go grab a meal together! Zhu Bixuan suggested, looking at the sky with a smile. My treat. Its a good chance to chat!

Zhou Cuian hesitated for a moment, her lips twitching with unease. She quickly declined. No, Ill just go to the cafeteria.

Friends.h.i.+p was reciprocal. If she accepted Zhu Bixuans invitation, shed have to return the favor later. Since she couldnt, it was best not to go to avoid owing any favors.

I wont go either, Ye Lengan said, tucking away her small bag. I already made plans and need to leave soon.

Not having Huangfu Ruiling accompany her earlier had already displeased him. Skipping dinner with him would only aggravate him further. So, she better go and find him obediently!
