Chapter 800: Her Changes
After the end of the National Day holiday, she had taken several days off. Upon returning from her break, she went back to the dormitory. The items she carried were souvenirs bought during her trip to the small town. Though her interactions with her dorm mates were somewhat casual, observing certain social niceties was still necessary.
As she entered the dormitory, she found her three other roommates present.
The sight of Ye Leng’an’s return caught the others off guard. Clearly, they hadn’t expected her to come back at this moment.
“Welcome back, Leng’an!” Zhu Bixuan exclaimed with delight, though she couldn’t help but add a few complaints. “Where have you been all this time? I missed you so much, you know.”
Zhu Bixuan’s friendly demeanor wasn’t surprising to Ye Leng’an. Setting the bag down on the table, Ye Leng’an smiled and explained, “I went on a trip during the holiday, but ran into some unexpected issues and had to take a few days off. I brought back some local specialties from my trip. Feel free to share them!”
“You’re too kind, Leng’an,” Zhu Bixuan cheered, wasting no time in inspecting the contents of the bag.
Zhou Cui’an and Ling Weiwei joined in as well.
Observing her three roommates, Ye Leng’an couldn’t help but feel a tinge of surprise. She hadn’t anticipated such significant changes after just a few days apart.
Zhu Bixuan remained unchanged, her carefree demeanor intact. All her emotions were transparent, and she remained straightforward without a hint of artifice.
However, Ling Weiwei appeared different. Previously aloof, she seemed to have shed some of her arrogance and was gradually integrating into the dormitory.
But it was Zhou Cui’an who had undergone the most striking transformation. From a simple rural girl upon her arrival, she had now embraced a modern urban style. Her previous wardrobe had vanished, replaced by trendy attire, and even her hairstyle had undergone a makeover.
Ye Leng’an couldn’t help but feel that just a few days away had brought about such profound changes.
Observing Zhou Cui’an, Zhu Bixuan smiled and commented, “Surprised, Leng’an? When I returned to the dormitory after the holiday, I was also taken aback by Cui’an’s new look. I almost thought I mistook her for someone else!”
“The change is quite remarkable,” Ye Leng’an replied with a smile. “But you look great like this.”
“Right? You think so too, don’t you?” Zhu Bixuan exclaimed excitedly. “I share the same opinion.”
However, she quickly realized her words might have been misconstrued. Hastily turning to Zhou Cui’an, she clarified, “Cui’an, I didn’t mean to imply you weren’t attractive before. I just think you look even better now. I…I mean…well, I can’t quite explain it, but you truly look much better than before.”
“I understand what you mean,” Zhou Cui’an replied with a smile. “Perhaps my change caught you off guard. But I won’t dwell on it. Besides, I think I look good like this.”
The part-time job had afforded her a salary she’d never dreamed of before. In just a few days, she had earned tens of thousands of yuan.
In the past, she had struggled to scrape together even her tuition fees. Yet now, in just a few days, she had earned enough to cover her entire university tuition. Of course, this was partly due to the commission from Ye Leng’an’s order. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have earned so much.
Previously, she would have immediately saved such earnings for tuition and living expenses, with some sent back home. However, inexplicably, she found herself drawn to the branded clothing stores. Unable to resist, she indulged in trying on clothes.
Initially, she had only wanted to browse. Yet, when she adorned herself in those fashionable garments, she felt a newfound sense of belonging among her dorm mates. She realized she, too, was worthy of such attire – perhaps even more so, having earned the money herself.
Coupled with the flattering remarks from the sales staff, she found herself making purchases in a daze.
Upon leaving the store, regret washed over her. However, the admiring glances from passersby seemed to validate her actions.
Thus, despite spending a substantial sum in just a few days, seeing the astonished looks from her roommates and classmates at the end of the holiday made her feel justified.
Furthermore, if she could earn so much in one go, she was certain she could earn even more in the future. She viewed her current expenditures as an investment.
Reflecting on this, she deemed it worthwhile to have spent tens of thousands in just a few days.
Observing Zhou Cui’an, Ye Leng’an smiled but refrained from commenting.
She sensed that Zhou Cui’an’s change went beyond appearance – it was a shift in mentality. Whether this change was for better or worse remained uncertain.
Moreover, she felt she had played a role in this transformation. After all, her lavish spending in the luxury store had earned Zhou Cui’an a significant commission.
