Pretty young anchorwoman: Big brother, come into my bowl!

"Qingqing! Long time no see!"

A pretty girl rushed over with a big smile and hugged Xu Qingyi tightly.

He then let go of her hand, took a step back, and looked Xu Qingyi up and down as if he had seen something strange.

"Huh? You don't look like you've been completely drained of your soul like before?"

At every previous gathering, Xu Qingyi always looked like a miserable working-class person who had been battered by life.

Xu Qingyi smiled and said, "I've already resigned from that job, so of course I'm free of any worries."

The short-haired girl who had been standing to the side smiling and watching them hug chimed in: "That's great. If you ask me, you should have run away a long time ago. It's only because you have a soft temper that you put up with him for so long."

Xu Qingyi: "Yingying~"

She clasped her hands together and shook them, looking at Xu Ying pitifully, signaling with her expression to stop talking.

That's so embarrassing.

Xu Ying smiled but remained silent.

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about things that have nothing to do with today anymore." Li Pingping rescued the teetering Xu Qingyi.

"Sister Pan is already waiting for us, let's go, let's go!"

As she reached out and gently pushed Xu Qingyi forward, she also took the opportunity to tug at Xu Ying's sleeve and secretly wink at her.

Xu Ying smiled helplessly. She hadn't done anything wrong, but they all acted as if they had seen a flood or a ferocious beast.

"But Yingying is right. If I were that old man, I would have given up long ago."

Li Pingping actually agreed with Xu Ying's words.

Of the four people in the dormitory, only Xu Qingyi, the youngest, had the gentlest personality and was extremely easy to talk to.

Xu Qingyi initially wanted to be defiant, but Xu Ying glanced at her and immediately fell silent.

"Sister Panpan!" As if she had seen something, Li Pingping waved happily in a certain direction.

Xu Qingyi looked up and saw a bright and beautiful girl with fiery red lips and big, wavy hair leaning casually against a wildly styled SUV.

She waved happily, her dimples becoming even more pronounced.

"It's been a long time, everyone." The girl curled her fiery red lips into a smile.

Xu Ying raised her hand and punched her shoulder, "Wow, it's been so long, you've even bought a car worth over a million, you're doing so well."

Chen Pan'an smiled and said, "It's been so long, and you're still as straightforward as ever."

She reached out her hands and gently hugged the others.

Li Pingping looked very happy: "This is the first time all four of us in the dorm have been together since we graduated. We're going to drink until we drop tonight!"

Xu Ying shrugged, looking at them as if to say, "I don't care, it's up to you."

Xu Qingyi raised her hand: "I'm fine with it!"

She had already asked for leave in the fan group before going to the appointment.

Chen Pan'an chuckled: "I'll play along to the end."

"Now, please, princesses, get in the carriage." She opened the carriage door and gestured for everyone to get in.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

"Ouch! It's so hot!" Li Pingping, who was eager to eat hot tofu, was indeed burned.

Xu Qingyi quickly picked up the ice water beside her and handed it to her.

Chen Pan'an teased her, "What's the rush? Nobody's going to take it from you."

"There's nothing I can do... This barbecue... It smells so good..." Li Pingping, her voice muffled and filled with water, shrugged.

She was completely mesmerized by the fragrance.

Xu Ying picked up a piece of pork belly that was almost cooked, casually dipped it in the sauce, and prepared to put it in her mouth. Before putting it in, she casually asked a question.

"Is your workplace mistreating you? Is the food in the cafeteria bad?"

Li Pingping chewed on her chopsticks and thought for a few seconds. "It's not exactly bad, but the taste isn't particularly good either."

After graduation, she worked hard and passed the civil service exam for a small county under H city. Although she didn't earn much, the job was stable and included five social insurances and one housing fund, which was considered a very good job.

Speaking of work, she said with emotion, "I really didn't expect that Yingying would end up becoming a teacher. Won't your students cry from your scolding?"

In closing, she made a joke at the end.

"You'll understand once you attend my class." Xu Ying didn't even lift her eyelids, picking up a piece of fatty beef roll with her chopsticks and placing it on Xu Qingyi's plate.

The girl, whose cheeks were bulging from eating, didn't have time to speak, so she raised her little face and smiled at the other person.

Li Pingping: "Never mind then, I hate going to school."

She pursed her lips, then turned to ask, "Sister Pan, what about you? I haven't heard from you since graduation."

Today marks the first time all four members of their dorm have gathered together.

Chen Pan'an took a sip of soda, somewhat dazed.

"me."

"I have finally broken free of my shackles and become a brave person."
