Chapter 378: Song Chu Did Well
Niu Yali’s score was not originally enough to enter the Agricultural University, but because this major was newly opened this year, the admission score was just lowered, and her family also used some connections to help her get in.
She didn’t have a deep desire for learning, just waiting to graduate and enter the Agricultural Bureau to work, which was arranged by her family long ago.
This was also where her pride and arrogance came from, feeling that the other people in the dormitory could not compare to her at all.
Hearing that Tian Mengluo seemed to know a lot about her skincare products, she started chatting with her, and they talked a lot about things from the department store, which was completely different from what she talked about with the others.
At around eight o’clock, Niu Yali changed into her pajamas and lay down on the bed.
She glanced displeasedly at the few people who were still talking, and said with a somewhat haughty tone: “Can you guys stop talking? It’s really affecting other people’s rest, okay?”
The few people who were still talking suddenly paused, and Cao Hui’s face turned red.
“I’m sorry, I got carried away just now and dragged them into the conversation. We’ll stop talking.” Song Chu was originally going to end the topic, but she couldn’t help but ask another question, which caused the delay.
They were actually also afraid of disturbing the two, so they spoke very quietly, and it was still early, the dormitory lights would not be turned off until ten o’clock.
Although they felt that Niu Yali, this roommate, was difficult to get along with, since she said she wanted to rest, they really shouldn’t disturb her.
Her apology was met with a cold snort from Niu Yali, “It’s good that you know your mistake, be more mindful in the future.”
She just couldn’t stand these poor people, acting like they loved to study so much every day, what’s the use of studying?
In the future, without connections, it’s impossible to stay in Kyoto. Going back to work in a small place, there’s no future at all.
Therefore, she didn’t care about maintaining a good relationship with her roommates. She looked down on them and didn’t want to be friends with them, even afraid that they would pester her for help in the future.
Especially since these poor people were actually revolving around that Song Chu, this made her even more unhappy.
Shouldn’t they be fawning over her, a local from Kyoto with good family conditions? Humph, country bumpkins have no taste.
Cao Hui’s face turned even redder, completely embarrassed. This person’s words were too harsh. They didn’t provoke her by chatting. What did she mean by “it’s good that you know your mistake”?
Li Xiuzhi and Lin Lifang were also very embarrassed. Before Song Chu came, when they chatted together, they were mocked by Niu Yali a few times, implying that they were country bumpkins, which was very irritating.
But the two of them didn’t want to have conflicts with their roommates as soon as they arrived, so they endured it.
Song Chu stood up and glanced at Niu Yali, who was lying down and playing with her nails. “What you mean is, in the future, if someone wants to rest, the others should stop talking to avoid disturbing them, is that right?”
She didn’t object to this point. After all, they were in the same dormitory and had to respect each other’s living habits.
But Niu Yali was obviously just deliberately picking a fight. In the future, if this person wanted to chat with someone, she would definitely not care whether other people in the dormitory were resting or not.
In that case, it’s better to make it clear on the first day, and no one should violate it.
Niu Yali looked at Song Chu arrogantly, “That’s right, and you’d better go out to chat in the future. I find it annoying to listen to you in the dormitory.”
They were talking about things she couldn’t understand. How could it be as interesting as talking about buying clothes and shopping in department stores?
She was very spoiled at home and had a sense of superiority in her status, so she wanted the people in the dormitory to give in to her.
Cao Hui and the others: “……” This Niu Yali is too overbearing, right? Why can’t they chat in the dormitory?
But none of them had strong personalities, and because they were wary of Niu Yali’s status as a local from Kyoto, they could only swallow their anger once again.
But Song Chu wouldn’t tolerate this kind of self-centered young miss. “If you find it annoying and don’t want to listen, you can go out. We weren’t talking to you anyway.”
Niu Yali didn’t expect Song Chu to confront her. She immediately sat up, “Why should I go out? This is my dormitory.”
“Then why should we go out? This is also our dormitory. If you can’t stand it, go out yourself, otherwise shut up,” Song Chu said coldly.
◈◈◈
With a roommate like this, you absolutely can’t back down or coddle them during the first confrontation, otherwise, they’ll take everything for granted in the future.
She didn’t care, she wouldn’t tolerate it anyway, but the other three would definitely be bullied frequently.
Niu Yali’s face darkened. “Who are you telling to shut up? Song Chu, you’re from a small, insignificant place, how dare you talk to me like that?”
Her family’s situation in Kyoto was quite good, and more importantly, her aunt had married well into a wealthy Kyoto family.
Moreover, she heard that there was a possibility of a marriage alliance with the Gu Family. Currently, the Gu Family was the most prosperous top-tier wealthy family, and with Gu Yue’s mother taking the lead, as long as her cousin successfully married into the Gu Family, their family’s status would also rise.
Of course, she was very envious of her cousin. She had met Gu Yue once last month; he was incredibly handsome and had an excellent temperament, just like the prince charming in her heart.
It was a pity that her family background wasn’t suitable for a marriage alliance with the Gu Family.
Recently, many people had been flattering her, so she became furious after being spoken to like that by Song Chu.
Song Chu sneered, “Isn’t your sense of superiority a bit too strong? Who do you think you are? Why wouldn’t I dare to talk to you like this?”
“You!” Niu Yali didn’t expect Song Chu to be so confrontational, she was simply outrageous.
Song Chu walked up to her and said frankly, “You what? From now on, let’s not cross paths. Don’t bother pulling out your spoiled young miss act, we won’t fall for it.”
After she finished speaking, she didn’t bother paying attention to Niu Yali and walked directly out of the dormitory with her toiletries.
If they couldn’t get along and had already had a falling out, there was no need to try and maintain a relationship.
The key point was, judging by Niu Yali’s behavior, if they gave in, she would only become more demanding.
Everyone was someone’s little princess, no one was obligated to pamper Niu Yali.
As for using her Kyoto background to pressure her, that was wishful thinking.
Song Chu usually seemed quite easygoing, but when she turned cold, she naturally exuded a certain aura. As a result, Niu Yali was so overwhelmed that she only recovered after Song Chu had left.
She gritted her teeth, she would definitely find an opportunity to teach Song Chu a lesson. What was so great about being a Gaokao top scorer? What good was it, huh?
The others in the dormitory hadn’t expected Song Chu to directly confront Niu Yali and even gain the upper hand.
They didn’t laugh outwardly, but they felt a sense of satisfaction in their hearts. Such a direct counterattack, well done, Song Chu! They liked Song Chu’s personality even more. Easygoing when she should be, and absolutely not backing down when she needed to be assertive. They also envied her ability to so straightforwardly confront people she disliked, something they couldn’t do.
Li Xiuzhi and the other two also took their washbasins and left the dormitory to wash up.
Tian Mengluo also found Niu Yali’s arrogance and condescending sense of superiority irritating, but since she wanted to befriend her, she naturally only complained inwardly.
She even stood up, preparing to console Niu Yali and try to build a closer relationship.
Although Niu Yali had a bad temper and acted like a spoiled young miss, as long as her background and conditions were good and beneficial to her, it was fine.
But just as she was about to speak, Niu Yali snorted at her and pulled the bed curtain closed, leaving her feeling extremely awkward. Inwardly, she cursed, “Serves you right for being rebuked by Song Chu.”
