Chapter 129 - The Female Supporting Character of Spiritual Spring Space

Chapter 129: Chapter 124: The Female Supporting Character of Spiritual Spring Space"Ye Zi, your Jade Pendant looks pretty nice, did you buy it on Antique Street?" Lian Lan tentatively asked. The Jade Pendant was in the shape of a leaf, with a transparent and emerald green throughout, obviously not cheap by the looks of it. This thought made Lian Lan unable to suppress her rising jealousy. Speaking of the four girls in their dorm, her family was the poorest.

Liu Qingqing hails from Coal Province, her family runs mining businesses, known for their flashy wealth. Cao Lu’s parents are both university professors, with her father serving as a technical adviser for a certain group, so they’re not short of money either. Even Ye Qiu, whose parents are small-time merchants, has rooted their business in a renowned tourist city that is bustling with customers every day.

But what about her? Her parents, ostensibly civil servants, held positions without connections, in clean but powerless government offices. While they weren’t lacking money for living expenses over the years, they certainly weren’t well-off enough to spend frivolously. For instance, they would never buy her a Jade Pendant like the one Ye Qiu wore around her neck.

"You mean this Jade Pendant?" Ye Qiu replied in a nonchalant tone, maintaining her composure in the face of Lian Lan’s expectant yet tense expression, "It was given to me by my grandfather."

Having received her answer, Lian Lan looked down, deep in thought. The more she contemplated, the more suspicious she became. It seemed like in novels, the so-called ’golden fingers’ were either accidentally bought in Antique Street or inherited as a family heirloom. Could it be that Ye Qiu’s extraordinary past life was because of this Jade Pendant? Perhaps, there was indeed a legendary space inside, one that could not only make one more beautiful and intelligent but also ensure health and longevity.

That’s right, Ye Qiu clearly had a younger brother who had been in poor health since childhood, yet until her rebirth, she had never heard of any misfortune befalling him. Could it be that Ye Qiu really had some miraculous encounter?

The more Lian Lan reminisced about her previous life, the more she felt Ye Qiu’s uniqueness, and she attributed all these anomalies to the Jade Pendant. She was determined to find an opportunity to test it.

"What’s wrong? Is there something else?" Seeing Lian Lan’s gaze unconsciously rest on her neck again, Ye Qiu deliberately looked at her with feigned puzzlement.

"Oh, it’s nothing." Lian Lan’s expression betrayed a hint of awkwardness as she coughed lightly, "I just think your Jade Pendant is pretty nice."

"Oh." Ye Qiu ignored her and quietly went about her washing up.

Lian Lan felt provoked by Ye Qiu’s dismissive attitude. She couldn’t understand why, despite Ye Qiu’s unpleasant personality and her disinterest in most things, people still liked her so much?

Could it all be because of that face?

She believed she was not bad-looking herself, having grown up amidst other people’s compliments. But, unfortunately, upon entering university, she met Ye Qiu, her roommate, who overshadowed her in looks alone.

And then there was the male idol she secretly adored; one she longed for but couldn’t have, yet someone else accepted his earnest pursuit without any effort. How unfair was fate?

Thinking of this, Lian Lan suddenly awoke to a realization. It was only the second semester of their freshman year, and her idol hadn’t noticed Ye Qiu yet; they hadn’t even started a relationship. Could it mean there was a chance for her?

Joy surged in Lian Lan’s heart as she made up her mind not to give up so easily. Now, she could only silently apologize to Ye Qiu. Ye Qiu was so beautiful and pursued by so many in her previous life, so surely she wouldn’t mind if Lian Lan went after her male idol!

"Come on, eat up quickly or we’ll run out of time." Even in her hustle, Cao Lu’s voice remained soft and endearing, trailing off with a cute long tone. It’s no wonder Liu Qingqing, the ’big sister’ type, always spoiled her.

"I’ve never seen any other school like our J University that doesn’t allow eating in classrooms and on campus paths. Those Student Council members are really sharp-eyed, catching you the moment you’re not careful and making you write reflections." Liu Qingqing spoke with a small steamed bun in her mouth, her words muffled.

"Eldest Lady, before you say that, you might want to remember that you’re one of those Student Council members yourself." Cao Lu couldn’t help but roll her eyes and tease her.

Ye Qiu, sipping soy milk with a smile, watched the two bicker, thinking how wonderful it is to be young! Sёarᴄh the Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Lian Lan shared the same sentiment. Since she got married in her previous life, she couldn’t remember the last time she had a hearty laugh. She yearned for such youthful carefreeness and thankfully, fate was not too cruel to her; she really was reborn.

"You two are still laughing; are you still my besties or not?" Liu Qingqing’s phoenix eyes slanted, exuding an imposing and enchanting aura.

"I mean, if you’re not happy with the student council work, why did you insist on joining in the first place?" Cao Lu asked puzzledly, "The student council is tough and thankless, and you don’t need that experience for a good job in the future, so why not quit?"

"You don’t understand," Liu Qingqing raised an eyebrow, "I joined for someone."

"Who?" Lian Lan’s eyelid twitched as she quickly joined the conversation.

Liu Qingqing smiled meaningfully at the three curious girls in the dormitory: "Lin Jiayan."

Hearing the familiar name, Lian Lan’s heart instantly started thumping like a frightened deer, and she remembered his tall, handsome figure and intelligent wisdom.

"It’s just a pity that the moment I joined, the god-like guy went abroad for an exchange. I didn’t even get the chance to meet him," Liu Qingqing said regretfully.

"Do you like him?" Cao Lu curiously asked, "But don’t you already have a boyfriend?"

"What do you know?" Liu Qingqing tapped Cao Lu’s smooth and fair forehead, "A boyfriend is a boyfriend, a male god is a male god. I like the male god’s looks, not him as a person."

"Trashy girl," Cao Lu looked at her with disdain, coldly spitting out two words.

"Hey, kiddo, you’ve gotten bold, daring to criticize your sister," Liu Qingqing pinched Cao Lu’s chubby cheek, kneading it left and right, and the fair and tender cheeks quickly turned into red, rosy apples.

At this moment, Lian Lan couldn’t help but feel her heart fluttering. Lin Jiayan was a senior in the finance department, two years ahead of them. Just as they started school, he was selected by the university to be an exchange student in the United States for a year. By calculations, he should be coming back in September.

It was also at that time that Lin Jiayan fell for Ye Qiu, thus beginning a long pursuit.

With a complicated expression, Lian Lan gazed at Ye Qiu’s profile, resolute in her heart – no, she must make Lin Jiayan fall for her in this lifetime.

Lin Jiayan was already the president of the student council before he went to the United States, and although he stepped down from that position last year, his relationship with the student council didn’t fade after his return in September; he still attended their gatherings several times.

This time, she must take the initiative and let Lin Jiayan get to know her first, and joining the student council was a shortcut.

"Xiaoqing, does your publicity department still need people?" Lian Lan was eager to try.

"You want in? Aren’t you already in two clubs? Can you handle it?" Liu Qingqing asked in surprise,

"Hmm, I’m thinking of quitting the mountaineering club, so it should be doable with just the drama club."

"That’s fine then. I don’t want to be in the student council anymore anyway, I can just recommend you. But I can’t guarantee you’ll definitely get in!"

"No worries, I’m just giving it a shot." Lian Lan said casually, but inwardly she couldn’t afford the slightest mishap.
