n“We don’t know how long we’ll have to live together. Why are the two of you arguing on the first day?” said a person who came from next door.

n

n

nShe had overheard their argument.

n

nFang Qiu was agitated.

n

n

n“You don’t know anything! This woman is not like what she seems. She always uses dirty tactics! Tsk!”

nShe said it so loud that almost the entire dormitory could hear her.

n

n

nMore people began to gather at the front of Li Ran’s room.

nLi Ran looked at Fang Qiu, baffled.

nShe asked, “Do we know each other?”

n

n

n“You don’t know me, but I know you. I’ve heard a lot about you!”

nFang Qiu said arrogantly.

n“…”

n‘She’s causing trouble for no reason.’

n

n

n“You’re already so old, yet you act like a child. How pathetic.”

nLi Ran turned around and left after saying that.

nIt was not as if she had no other place to stay, so why should she put up with someone like her?

nFang Qiu’s hostility was so obvious that it was wretched.

nThe person in charge was still shouting over the loudspeaker. All the shouting hurt his throat and he had already finished the two bottles of water in front of him.

nHe frowned and opened another water bottle.

n

n

nNobody knew how much time had passed.

nLi Ran felt very drowsy. She kept moving her legs so they would not turn numb from all the sitting.

nThe person in charge was finally done with his microphone duties!

nLi Ran hurriedly got up. Her gaze had been fixed on him all this while.

nShe was halfway from reaching him when suddenly, someone stopped her.

n“Li Tao, right? Let’s go back. Fang Qiu has left.”

nLi Ran was confused.

n“Why would she leave? She was so adamant earlier.”

n“I offered to switch rooms with her and she accepted.”

n“…”

n“Who is this person? This is ridiculous.”

nLi Ran murmured to herself.

nShe massaged her legs and sighed softly, “Thank you.”

n“It’s okay, This is just a small matter. You can have the lower bunk of the bed. Do you want to go to the canteen together? It’s time to eat.”

n“Okay.”

nLi Ran looked at her gratefully.

nThen, she asked, “What’s your name?”

n“I’m Lin Ke.”

nAs she said that, Lin Ke wrapped her arm around Li Ran’s. The two of them headed to the canteen as if they were sisters.

n‘What a strange feeling.’

nLi Ran’s impression of Lin Ke was very favorable.

nThe canteen was bustling.

nThere was a sea of people.

nSurprisingly, everyone was lining up in an orderly manner.

nThey received their own portion of food.

nIt was some rice, potatoes, and beans.

nBut when Li Ran received hers, she only got a little bit of rice. The same goes for Lin Ke.

nShe watched as the staff member casually said, “You’ll have to make do with it. Come earlier tomorrow.”

nLin Ke looked over and her eyes widened.

n“Shouldn’t there be more? You can’t even spare an extra spoonful?”

n“No. It’s a set amount.”

nLi Ran and Lin Ke were some of the last few people. However, there were still others and nothing like this had happened to them.

nLin Ke was not convinced and wanted to say a few more words but the staff left.

nThe two of them were left staring at each other.

n“What the heck, just rice? Not even some water? How are we supposed to eat? I’ve eaten more when I was outside compared to this. What a lousy place. Did they think we came here to suffer?”

nLin Ke was furious. She looked at the pitiful amount of rice in her bowl. There were so few that she could even count them.

nLi Ran took a deep breath and smiled. She pretended to be calm and said, “I’m not that hungry. I ate a little too much for lunch. Let’s go. You should hurry up and eat.”

nShe really needed to find a way to enter the mysterious space!

n‘I can’t take this much more!’

nThey were sitting at a table and were about to eat when suddenly, someone took away Li Ran’s bowl.

nLin Ke turned around and saw what happened.

n…

nShe exploded!

n“I’m really impressed! Are you serious? You’re taking away her food? People like you actually exist? You’ve really opened my eyes!”

nShe immediately attracted the attention of a crowd.

n“Give her food back!”

nLin Ke glared at the person and was about to snatch the bowl.

nHowever, Li Ran stopped her.

n“It’s not worth it. There’s no point in getting angry over such a meager amount of rice.”

n“Li Tao! Eat my food! I don’t believe that I can’t get more!”

nLin Ke snapped!
