Hearing that phrase again, I simply put down my phone and joined in the flattery with a smile, "It does look good. Which senior is so generous? Looks like your brother-in-law is in trouble!"
In my hand, the phone screen still displayed the results of the photo recognition, clearly dispelling any luck I might have had. That necklace worth thirteen thousand was around her neck, while the bracelet I held was merely one of three promotional gifts.
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could he compare to my boyfriend!" She waved her hand dismissively, quickly trying to cover up. "You all are overthinking it; this senior is just a friend of mine."
A friend? I scoffed inwardly, wondering if that friend even knew he was just a friend. Did he willingly settle for that role?
"By the way, today is the Qixi Festival. My boyfriend said he wants our two dorms to get together for lunch. We can all eat together and then do our own thing in the evening. Do you all have time?"
As I listened to my other roommates respond excitedly, I turned my gaze back to Xu Jiaying. "What about you? Are you joining us or going to find your boyfriend?"
"Of course I'm going! It's been so long; I really miss... the feast!" Her words were layered with meaning, stirring up my anger that I had to suppress.
The photos from my past life that had been widely circulated likely included a few taken today without permission.
All I had to do was wait quietly.
When we arrived at the restaurant, my boyfriend had already ordered the food. Looking around, nearly every dish was drenched in red oil.
As everyone knew, Xu Jiaying loved spicy food, but only my boyfriend He Yang understood that I preferred a lighter taste. Every time we gathered, He Yang would remind me to be considerate and not just focus on myself; others liked heavier flavors.
I used to think others were being overly dramatic; now it seemed they were simply stating facts.
Details I had never noticed before now surfaced one by one.
"Everyone's here? Come on, come on! The first cup of milk tea of autumn~ For those who haven't had any today, let's make up for it!" My boyfriend greeted us as soon as he entered, not even sparing me a glance before eagerly distributing milk tea.
"Drinking hot tea on such a hot day?" One roommate thanked him and took a cup while casually commenting. Then she seemed to realize something and winked at me. "Oh~ I get it; He Yang is so thoughtful!"
I instantly understood her meaning and smiled down at my drink.
However, it was Xu Jiaying who was on her period, not me.
Ignoring my roommate's teasing, my boyfriend diligently wiped his hands with a wet napkin and carefully peeled a plate of crayfish, pushing it toward me with polite insistence.
"Today is Qixi; let’s serve the beautiful ladies! Everyone eat with Yiyi; I'll do the peeling!"
I used to feel secretly pleased that my boyfriend was putting in effort in front of my roommates; it made me look good. I never noticed that while I struggled with chopsticks, it was Xu Jiaying who enjoyed herself.
"This isn't eating crayfish; it's clearly eating dog food!" One roommate exclaimed dramatically.
Feigning modesty, I waved my hand dismissively. "Stop flattering him; if you keep praising He Yang, he'll get carried away. He still has a lot to learn; after all, there's an example ahead of him. He can't compare to Jiajia's boyfriend; Jiajia's boyfriend really spoils her!"
If Xu Jiaying was the white moonlight in every boy's heart, then Gu Yuan was the ideal partner for all girls.
"That's true. If it weren't for Gu Yuan already being taken, I would definitely go and humiliate myself just to get close to him."
After the banter, my roommate transformed into a cheerleader, starting to recount all the sweet moments shared between the two of them.
