Pretty and charming, dressed in the 90s, she's good at everything from making money to causing

"I was thinking on the way here that I'd pay Jiang Zong back the money after I get my living expenses next month, but... I can't pay him back..."

Liang Tianxing muttered to himself.

The other three also looked frustrated, clearly having thought the same thing.

Uncle Nie smiled and handed them the keys, saying, "Don't worry, this hotel belongs to the Jiang family. The rooms are empty anyway, so feel free to come and stay if you need anything."

"What? This huge hotel belongs to the Jiang family?" Liang Tianxing stared wide-eyed in astonishment.

This is currently the largest and most expensive hotel in Shenyang.

It's actually from the Chiang family?

He subconsciously asked Jiang Zong, "Why didn't you say that?"

Jiang Zong thought about it seriously for a moment and replied, "I don't know."

Liang Tianxing: "..."

Is he... so much property in his family that he doesn't even know which parts belong to him?

That can only be the reason.

Previously, Liang Tianxing always thought his family was quite wealthy. His parents had been doing business since the mid-1980s and were already considered wealthy enough to earn ten thousand yuan a month back then. Later, they acquired a stall in the Wu'ai Market, and their income skyrocketed.

He knew that the Jiang family was rich, but he always thought that no matter how rich they were, they were at most like the owners of the Wuai Market.

The result... hehehe...

His worldview was turned upside down.

If he's like this, then the other three are even worse.

Perhaps the carpet under their feet was too soft, because their legs felt weak when they walked.

Uncle Nie escorted them back to their rooms first, and only after seeing Jiang Zong into the room did he say, "Young Master, Miss Lin called to tell me that the glass in your dormitory is broken, and she's worried about you."

Jiang Zong was slightly taken aback.

The concern of a good friend...

This feels so unfamiliar, unlike the fake concern I've experienced before.

If it were those people, they would probably call him, ramble on with a long string of useless words, and advise him to leave the dormitory and stay in a hotel, perhaps also mentioning their own recent difficulties.

But she only called Uncle Nie, without even telling him that she was concerned about him.

Jiang Zong pursed his lips and nodded: "I understand."

"Okay, you should go to sleep early. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."

Uncle Nie said goodnight, closed the door, and left.

Jiang Zong lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, thinking of Lin Ting.

So this is what it feels like to have friends...

……

The next day.

Early in the morning, Lin Ting's mobile phone started ringing.

She groggily grabbed it, her eyes still closed, and fumbled for the answer button: "Hello... I'll go!"

She habitually held the phone to her ear, and then... she almost got knocked unconscious.

Lin Ting instantly snapped back to reality, rubbing her aching temples as she sat up.

"Are you OK?"

Jiang Zong's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Jiang Zong?

Jiang Zong!

He actually took the initiative to call?

Lin Ting was not only clear-headed, but also shocked.

"Uh, I'm fine. Are you okay?"

Lin Tingxin wondered if her good friend had been kidnapped. This call must have been made at the behest of the kidnappers, right?

"I bought breakfast."

"Hmm... what do you mean?"

"Would it be convenient for you to come downstairs to pick it up?"

"what?"

Lin Ting hurriedly got out of bed, slipped on her slippers, and went to the window to look out. She saw Jiang Zong standing downstairs with large and small bags in his hands.

She quickly replied, "Okay, wait a moment, I'll be right down."

"Ah."

Lin Ting casually tossed the mobile phone onto the bed, making a dull thud like hitting a drum.

Su Yu sat up as soon as the phone rang, blinking her big, confused eyes at her.

Lin Ting hurriedly put on her wool coat, without even changing out of her pajamas.

Su Yu asked, "Aren't you going to tidy up?"

Across from her, Wu Yan and Li Zhi were also looking at her: "Yeah, aren't you going to tidy up?"

Lin Ting looked at the three of them with a puzzled expression: "What are you packing for? I'm just going downstairs to get breakfast."

"But you need to see Jiang Zong!"

The three of them said in unison.

Lin Ting: "I wasn't dressed up when I met his father."

Her intention was, "Good friends, no need."

But to those three, it became—

"So he really did meet the parents!"

Lin Ting was a moment too slow in closing the door, and unfortunately heard the three of them screaming excitedly.

She paused, nearly tripping over her own feet and falling.

"This world is full of people obsessed with romance and shippers... It's hopeless..."

Lin Ting muttered to herself as she hurried downstairs.

On the way, she tidied her hair a little.

It's only 6:30 now. The students who are in class haven't gotten up yet, and those who need to eat breakfast won't be leaving home this early.

There were some students who were doing morning reading walking out, but those who could do morning reading were all top students, so you couldn't see anyone or anything other than knowledge.

Lin Ting ran out of the dormitory gate, took a breath of the moist air after the rain, which smelled of earth, and immediately felt refreshed.

"Why are you back so early?" Lin Ting asked casually.

"I have class." Jiang Zong handed her breakfast and said, "Thank you for last night."

"Huh?" Lin Ting paused for a moment, then realized he was referring to Uncle Nie. She smiled and replied, "It's nothing. I heard there was a fight in your dorm, and I thought you might be questioned by the teacher and wouldn't have time to call Uncle Nie, so I took the liberty of doing it for you. Don't mind me."

"No." Jiang Zong shook his head, his expression extremely serious, and even emphasized again, "I don't mind."

Lin asked him, "Are you alright? Did Chen Jun cause you any trouble?"

"No." Jiang Zong shook his head and pointed to the bag in her hand. "Go back now, see you at noon."

"Okay, thank you for breakfast."

"fine."

When Lin returned, he belatedly realized that Jiang Zong seemed to have talked more today.

Although he still speaks very little compared to others, it is a remarkable improvement compared to his past self.

"This is... a breakthrough in fighting?"

Lin Ting murmured softly.

When she returned to the dormitory, her roommates were all awake, including the dejected Zheng Miaoying.

Lin Ting put down the breakfast, reached out and touched Zheng Miaoying's forehead. It was cool, so she didn't have a fever.

Her eyes were swollen like a goldfish's. Lin Ting sighed softly and asked her, "How about I ask you to take the day off?"

Zheng Miaoying cried all night and is now listless and lacking energy.

She shook her head, clenching her fists and insisting, "It's okay, I have to go to class."

Lin Ting was also a little worried about leaving her alone in the dormitory, so upon hearing this, she stopped trying to persuade her. She opened the bag, took out four lunchboxes, and said as she opened them, "Here, have something to eat."

The lunchbox contained fragrant millet porridge, delicately shaped steamed buns, a side dish of meat and vegetables, and a box of pastries.

These vegetables looked familiar—she had these same dishes for breakfast when she stayed at a hotel with Jiang Zong.

He actually remembered all of that.

Lin Ting was quite surprised.

Zheng Miaoying hung her head listlessly and said, "Listen to this... You eat, I don't want to eat..."

Lin Ting picked up a small steamed bun and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Hiss..." Zheng Miaoying was burned, but after a moment of hesitation, she couldn't bear to spit it out. She chewed it and swallowed it.

"Is it good?" Lin Ting asked.

Yingzi nodded obediently: "It's delicious."

"If it's delicious, then eat it. After you finish eating, go to class, and then help me figure out a way to make money so you can eat this every day from now on."

"Really?"

"Seriously, I'd be a dog to lie to you."
