“How on earth did you get into a fight with Kai Jin? Why not hold off until I returned to sort it out? Alright, alright, I'm sure she'll be okay. We should head back and take a look.”
“Head back?” Ye Wanqing’s voice sharpened.
Deng Qingjiang furrowed his brow, “Naturally, we head back. Even if you stay away, they already know that's your place. Let's return and inspect things!”
“But…”
“Let's go, I'll accompany you back, does that work?”
Deng Qingjiang pulled her with him, running into a police officer, and offered a grin while clarifying, “These are classmates of my niece, all studying away from home in the Capital City. I serve as their collective elder.”
He presented it that way to the authorities.
After all, they wouldn't dig into their connections at this point, would they?
“The other two classmates mentioned that if you pay up, the issue can be handled privately.”
“Right, right, right, we'll make the payment.”
Deng Qingjiang felt mortified upon discovering Ye Wanqing had been nabbed for swiping two boxes of pastries.
“What's the amount?”
Yet, as he pulled out the cash, he harbored some reservations about those two girls. Merely two boxes of pastries, worth just a handful of yuan. Did they really need to involve the police over an old roommate?
The officer stated, “The total comes to one hundred thirty-six yuan.”
“Pfft!” Deng Qingjiang nearly choked.
Two boxes of pastries costing one hundred thirty-six yuan?
“Is there more to pay for?” he inquired, utterly stunned.
“Nothing else; that's solely the cost of the two boxes. They're Youqingwei pastries.” The officer shot him a look.
Carrying a touch of pity.
Who could blame his niece's friend for crossing her affluent classmates? Two boxes of pastries that usually fetch eight yuan each, yet here it's one hundred thirty-six yuan.
And truly, these items carry a hefty price tag.
Everyone knew of the Youqingwei shop; its offerings were costly, yet superb in quality.
Consider his father, who'd scrimped his entire life, squeezing every cent, but after being dragged by old pals for tea, he now laments endlessly how their family brew pales against Youqingwei's.
He was already plotting to indulge his father and wife once his salary arrived this month.
Deng Qingjiang settled the bill and departed with Ye Wanqing, his expression far from cheerful.
Chiang Xiao had barely stepped onto campus when Qin Xiaojun and Wang Lili, who'd been lying in wait, tugged her to the side.
She felt somewhat confused.
Though they shared a dorm, she rarely went back these days and intended to drop the room after the term ended.
Thus, it had been ages since she'd crossed paths with Qin Xiaojun and Wang Lili.
“What's going on?” she wondered.
Wang Lili eyed Qin Xiaojun, nudging her to take the lead.
“Chiang Xiao, Ye Wanqing showed up at the dorm last night!”
Qin Xiaojun's starter remark sparked a flicker of curiosity in Chiang Xiao.
Expelled and still bold enough to return?
“What next? What went down?”
“She looked utterly wretched! And she pilfered my pastries! The Youqingwei ones I'd just gotten, not even tasted yet, and she devoured both boxes!”
Qin Xiaojun detailed the previous night's chaos.
Upon learning she'd summoned the cops to haul Ye Wanqing away, Chiang Xiao erupted in chuckles.
Solely for that bold move, Chiang Xiao resolved to buy her some pastries.
She fished out two coupons from her sturdy cardboard booklet and passed them along.
“Seeing Ye Wanqing miserable brings me joy, so I'll cover tea and pastries for you two. These are worth fifty yuan each, no minimum spend required.”
What did “no minimum spend” mean? Qin Xiaojun and Wang Lili accepted them, shared a puzzled stare, utterly baffled.
