The Glamorous Comeback of the Ousted Heiress novel Chapter 620

Chapter 620: Meet at 244, incident occurred at _2

She was the epitome of casual and relaxed.

Just walking from the dormitory gate to the corner, she drew the gaze of everyone around her.

The not-so-bright street lights cast shaking tree shadows on the ground.

The moon hung high above the treetops, so faint it was nearly indiscernible.

“Did Grandpa make you new clothes?” Jiang Fulai asked, eyeing the garment she wore that he hadn’t seen before.

The clothes had been brought over by Ji Heng from Xiangcheng last time.

...

Looking down at the turquoise vine on her dress, Bai Lian replied simply, “Mhm.”

Before she could finish, Jiang Fulai wrapped his left arm around her waist from behind, his long, strong fingers clasped at her side, drawing her close, “Congratulations on the new semester.”

“Have you finished work?” Bai Lian touched his slightly cool fingers with her fingertips.

“Sort of,” Jiang Fulai quietly embraced her for a moment before asking, “Have you eaten dinner?”

“I had dinner at Grandpa’s before coming here.”

“Oh,” Jiang Fulai held her hand and went straight to the point, “I haven’t eaten yet.”

The girls’ dorm in the Nanmei District was closer to the second canteen. At this hour, the privately-owned stores on the second floor of the canteen were likely still open. Bai Lian lifted her head, “Let’s go to the second canteen.”

Jiang Fulai wasn’t picky about food.

He would eat the fine dishes selected in Kangyu Tower as well as the boxed meals distributed in the lab.

Bai Lian ordered two dishes for him and got a bowl of rice. He brought the food back, sitting in the cafeteria that didn’t quite suit his aura. He leisurely took out his phone, snapped a photo of the two dishes, and sent it to Academician Ma—

[Have you had dinner yet?]

Academician Ma, who had just got out of the car, spared a moment to reply with a symbol: […]

When Bai Lian returned with two bottles of water, he was still typing at his leisure.

Upon seeing her, he put away his phone discreetly and changed the subject, “How are they doing with their studies? How is the exam preparation going?”

Jiang Fulai was referring to the second round of admissions for the Tongfeng class.

Since leaving the base, he hadn’t sent so much as a punctuation mark to Ning Xiao and Tang Ming.

Bai Lian twisted the cap on the water bottle, glanced at his phone, placed the water beside him, and casually sat down, “Not bad.”

“Oh.” Jiang Fulai had just been making conversation, asking casually.

If those two didn’t get in, they’d have to face him.

Kong Wei was too lazy to go downstairs and asked Bai Lian to bring back a pack of trash bags from the supermarket on the ground floor when she returned.

By the time Bai Lian got back to the dorm, the roommate across from her, Xun Qian, had already returned from the library.

Xun Qian was tall, with chestnut-colored curly hair, and she seemed a bit distant.

“Thanks.” Kong Wei took the trash bags, fitted one onto her bin, and remembering the earlier discussion, introduced Bai Lian to Xun Qian, “Bai Lian, this is Xun Qian, a local from Jiangjing who just came back from the library. But Xun Qian, are you really considering the Tongfeng class?”

After greeting Xun Qian, Bai Lian messaged Jiang Fulai to tell him she was back in the dorm.

Xun Qian, hearing that Bai Lian was from Beicheng, withdrew her gaze.

“I’m just giving it a try.” Xun Qian picked up her nightgown, nodded slightly to Kong Wei, and pushed the door to enter the bathroom.

Not much for conversation.

Beauty brings a sense of distance, and it’s rare these days to find someone as beautiful and approachable as Bai Lian.

After Xun Qian entered the bathroom, Yu Simin spoke to the two of them, “The Tongfeng class only tests mathematics and physics. The national team goes a bit more extreme, like a second-round admission test. The Tongfeng class is the real deal – most of them can get into a lab as first-years.”

Those from the national team were directly specially recruited into the Tongfeng class; the other spots were few and far between.
