Young Master Mo, Are You Done Kissing?
chapter-191

“I typically only use a bottle of essence.” Ji Nuan pointed toward the few items she had placed by her pillow. One of them was a transparent light green glass bottle.

Ling Feifei stared at it, and after a long while, she still could not recognize the brand. “What’s the brand? How much is it?”

“I don’t remember. Probably around six hundred yuan.”

Ling Feifei was startled. “Only six hundred?”

Ling Feifei turned back to the moisturizer she was holding worth up to ten thousand yuan. All of a sudden, she lost all interest in speaking to Ji Nuan.

Bai Wei, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly said,, “I’ve used this brand of essence quite frequently too. This alone is indeed sufficient for those with really good skin.”

Ling Feifei pursed her lips and did not reply. She was clearly upset that Professor Lin had arranged someone without status nor wealth to be in the same dormitory as her, but was tolerating it quietly.

It was clear that this wealthy young lady was looking down on her. Ji Nuan did not speak and only smiled at Bai Wei.

According to Professor Lin, most of the students held outstanding family backgrounds and had their sights set high. Since the semester was only three months long, the course would end before they could even get to know one another well.

Thus, there was no need for her to lay all her cards on the table.

Ling Feifei had too much luggage and could not store them all on her side, so she pushed them onto the empty bed by the side.

“There should only be the three of us staying in this room, right?” Ling Feifei asked while moving her things.

Before she could finish her words, the door was opened once more. A young girl in a white dress walked in.

Right after stepping in, she scanned the room before finally pausing at Ji Nuan. “Nice to meet you all, I’m sorry for being late. There should still be space for me here, right?”

Bai Wei and Ji Nuan turned in unison to look at the space Ling Feifei was occupying.

Ling Feifei was clearly unhappy, but because their gazes were all fixed on her, she could only reluctantly bring her luggage down, tugging it back to her own space.

The girl approached her bed and considered it for a moment before turning to look at Ji Nuan, who was on her phone. “Nice to meet you, my name is Su Xueyi. For the next three months, we’ll be sleeping side by side like this. Let’s get to know one another and become friends!”

Ji Nuan looked up from her phone and saw that Su Xueyi’s smile was bright. She nodded to her.

This Su Xueyi appeared to be around the same age as Ji Nuan, but her naive and innocent appearance caused one to drop their guard.

Classes would only begin tomorrow. Now that the room was fully occupied, they unavoidably began self-introductions once more.

Su Xueyi was especially taken with Ji Nuan. She even sat onto her bed and exchanged contact details with her.

When it was Su Xueyi’s turn to introduce herself, she said with a smile, “I came from Los Angeles in America. My family dabbles in all sorts of business. One of our more well-known establishments is a Chinese company named Suan Group. My father owns 60% of the shares in Suan Group.”

Hearing the words ‘Suan Group,’ Ling Feifei, who initially maintained a proud and noble attitude, took several looks at Su Xueyi. She changed her expression, as though she had finally found someone worthy of being associated with. “You actually came from America. Aren’t there many outstanding lecturers overseas? Why did you come back to the country to learn corporate management?”

Su Xueyi smiled. “Since my family owns a Chinese enterprise, I should build some knowledge of my country’s culture. I also have quite some relatives living in T City who recommended for me to come here.”

The four of them chatted a little. Ji Nuan replied occasionally, but because her ‘status’ was too ordinary, Ling Feifei focused all of her attention on Su Xueyi and Bai Wei, neglecting Ji Nuan. She asked her a question or two occasionally but was clearly not very interested in her.

On her end, Ji Nuan was also happy to stay mostly silent.

Not long after, Feng Ling gave Ji Nuan a call to ask if she planned to stay in or to head out for dinner.

The dorm was filled with Ling Feifei’s chatter; it was too noisy. She naturally chose to head out to eat.

Ji Nuan had only just stepped out of the room for several minutes when she realized Su Xueyi had followed along.

“Ji Nuan! The sky is already dark, where are you headed to?”

Ji Nuan glanced at her. “I’ll be back after having dinner. Do you need anything?”

Hearing this, Su Xueyi moved to press close to her. She held her elbow to say intimately, “Then let’s go together! It’s our first time in T City. Since we’re not familiar with the people and places here, it’ll be good to have company!”

Ji Nuan curved her lips into a mild smile; she wasn’t trying to be distant, but she had instinctively found Su Xueyi’s passionate enthusiasm unnatural.

“Let’s eat together another day. I’ve already agreed to meet a friend today.”

“All right then. Let’s go together tomorrow?” Su Xueyi followed her relentlessly.

“Let’s talk about it tomorrow.” Before stepping out of the building, she saw that the girl was still looking at her and decided to turn back to ask, “Earlier on, you said that you came from Los Angeles, America?”

Su Xueyi nodded with a smile. “That’s right.”

Ji Nuan smiled with her eyes, speaking meaningfully, “Not bad. It’s a city that many yearn to visit.”

Su Xueyi’s expression was startled for an instant. “Yearn to visit? You’ve never been to Los Angeles?”

Ji Nuan was unmoved as she watched her expression, raising her brows slightly. “Why? Should I have gone before?”

“No, I’m just surprised. Earlier, they were all discussing the trips they had previously taken to Los Angeles, so I thought you must have already visited once.” Su Xueyi stared at her eyes, her lips instantly transforming into a sweet, harmless smile.

Ji Nuan smiled and then glanced at the time. “My apologies. My friend is still waiting for me.”

Su Xueyi could only nod. When Ji Nuan was about to leave, she suddenly asked, “You’re heading out for dinner so late, and you’re in such a rush. Could it be that the person waiting for you is your boyfriend?”

Ji Nuan raised her brows and smiled at her mildly. “Do you want to eat anything? Shall I bring some takeaway back for you?”

Su Xueyi’s expression faltered for a moment before she smiled. “Pasta please, thank you.”

After leaving T University, she found Feng Ling waiting for her right by the gates. The two visited a nearby western restaurant to eat.

Ji Nuan cut into her steak while looking at Feng Ling, who was quietly eating. “Let me ask you a few questions.”

“What is it?”

“Have you ever heard of Suan Group from Los Angeles?”

“Heard of it.”

Ji Nuan paused her hands. “Then, does Suan Group and America’s Shine Group have any special relationship? Or perhaps, do they have any relationship with Mo Jingshen?”
