Falling in Love Online with an Ancient General

Chapter 23

Oh well, all things in this world have their own destiny. What will be, will be.

At Jing University, Feng Qingci and Feng Qingyi dragged their luggage through the school gates.

They were not in the same department, and their dormitories were not in the same direction either, so they parted ways after entering the school gates.

After Feng Qingyi returned to her dormitory with her luggage, she found that her roommates had not arrived yet, so she cleaned up first.

There was nothing special happening today. Classes would officially start tomorrow morning, so she could arrange the remaining time freely today.

Feng Qingyi really wanted to attend the courses on her mobile phone, but she was also worried that if she suddenly disappeared and then reappeared, it would scare her roommates, so she had to give up on that idea.

While at school, the drawbacks of these virtual courses became apparent, which is probably why a villa appeared in the second-level store.

It was probably to allow her to study more conveniently, although the day to buy a villa was still far away.

For now, she should just study hard, make progress every day, and strive to complete the mid-term exam\'s side quest to earn a big profit.

"You\'re already studying before classes have even started? Are you trying to crush us?" Shen Hanyue said as soon as she entered and saw Feng Qingyi sitting in a chair reading a book.

Feng Qingyi: "It\'s because you all arrived so late. I had nothing else to do, so I just read a little."

Shen Hanyue put down her luggage. "I feel like you\'ve become fairer and better-looking after this summer break!"

"Did I not look good before?" Feng Qingyi had confidence in her appearance.

Shen Hanyue: "You looked good before, but this time you seem even better-looking. You didn\'t just stay at home the whole summer break without going out, did you?"

"I went traveling with my parents earlier. When I came back, I was several shades darker. Although I tried to remedy it afterwards, it didn\'t seem to have much effect."

Feng Qingyi looked at Shen Hanyue\'s face. "But you don\'t seem to have changed much."

"Really? Maybe it\'s because I went to the beauty salon with my mom every few days recently. I got a little effect from that, but you\'re really glowing white now. What did you do this summer break behind our backs?"

Feng Qingyi picked up the mirror on the desk and looked at herself. She did seem fairer, probably due to the effects of the beauty pills.

"Maybe it\'s because I stayed at home all summer without going out, so I became fairer."

Soon after, the other two roommates, Lou Xi and Qu Jingqiu, arrived as well.

"Xi, Qiu, you\'re finally here. My mom specially packed some local chestnuts for me. Try some." Shen Hanyue shared the chestnuts.

The four roommates, despite their differing personalities and interests, got along exceptionally well.

Shen Hanyue was the most talkative of the group, with a sunny and cheerful personality. She liked playing games, watching shows, following celebrities, and loved sharing and commenting.

Qu Jingqiu was the quiet and gentle type, usually calm and soft-spoken. In her free time, she enjoyed reading books and writing articles, a true talented lady.

As for Lou Xi, she was the epitome of a cool, gorgeous goddess - beautiful and stylish. Though she spoke little, she was not unlikable.

Compared to these three, Feng Qingyi seemed rather plain, but her plainness was only in her own perception.

"Thank you, Yue." Qu Jingqiu took the bag Shen Hanyue handed her.

Shen Hanyue smiled, "No need to thank me. If you think they\'re good, you can come get more from me. My mom packed a lot, and I was getting sick of them at home."

After handing the chestnuts to Lou Xi, Lou Xi thanked her and started unpacking her belongings.

Feng Qingyi looked at the chestnuts from Shen Hanyue, handmade soaps from Lou Xi, and notebooks from Qu Jingqiu on the table, realizing she was the only one who hadn\'t prepared any gifts.

"I stayed at home all summer break and didn\'t go out, so I didn\'t buy any gifts. I\'ll treat you all to dinner tonight."

Shen Hanyue: "Then let\'s go for hot pot tonight!"

"...In this sweltering heat, are you sure!" Feng Qingyi said.

Shen Hanyue: "The hot pot restaurant outside the school gate, I\'ve been missing it for so long. Now that we\'re finally back at school, we can\'t miss it. Xi, Qiu, do you two agree?"

"I also want to go," Qu Jingqiu said.

Lou Xi: "I\'m fine with anything."

Shen Hanyue was overjoyed. "Then it\'s happily decided. It\'s already four o\'clock now, hurry up and unpack whatever you need to, and we\'ll head out promptly at five."

Since everyone agreed, Feng Qingyi had no objections either. She wasn\'t picky about food and ate anything.

At five o\'clock in the evening, the four of them left the dormitory and went to the hot pot restaurant.

Shen Hanyue insisted on ordering the food and quickly placed the orders for everyone, remembering everyone\'s preferences clearly.

After ordering, Shen Hanyue suddenly pointed to a table not far away. "Look over there, isn\'t that Song Jingyuan from the Physics Department?"

Feng Qingyi and Qu Jingqiu looked in the direction Shen Hanyue was pointing.

"That campus hottie\'s looks are undeniable. I heard he\'s still single right now. Qingyi, why don\'t you go get his contact information?" Shen Hanyue continued.

Feng Qingyi flatly refused, "You go yourself."

Shen Hanyue: "If I dared, I would have gone already."

"We\'d better not," Qu Jingqiu spoke up. "It\'s better to be modest."

Shen Hanyue disagreed, "We\'ve already been modest for a year, and what\'s the result? The result is that our entire dormitory is still single. If we\'re any more modest, we might not find partners even by graduation."

"Since you\'re the one who wants to get out of singlehood, we\'ll support you spiritually. You go ahead!" Getting someone\'s contact information was something Feng Qingyi couldn\'t bring herself to do.

The server soon brought the hot pot base and dishes. Seeing that the food had arrived, Shen Hanyue couldn\'t be bothered about the campus hottie anymore, as eating was the priority.

The four of them ate their first dinner of the new semester together. After finishing the hot pot, they each took out their phones to leave. At that moment, Song Jingyuan approached Feng Qingyi.

"Classmate, can we exchange contact information?" Song Jingyuan seemed a bit shy.

Feng Qingyi was about to refuse, but before she could say a word, Shen Hanyue answered on her behalf, "Of course, Qingyi, hurry up."

After Shen Hanyue\'s intervention, Feng Qingyi could no longer refuse, so she opened her phone and added Song Jingyuan\'s WeChat.

On the way back to the dorm, Shen Hanyue was still a bit excited.

"That\'s Song Jingyuan, Qingyi. I think you have a chance to get into a relationship this year, and I feel he\'s quite interested in you."

Feng Qingyi was helpless, "You wanted his WeChat just now, didn\'t you? Why don\'t I introduce him to you instead?"

"He asked for your WeChat, so I won\'t compete with you. To be honest, I just think he\'s handsome and was attracted by his looks, but finding a boyfriend can\'t just be about looks."
