Chapter 1 — Fake Rich Roommate

During first year military training, Tu Uyen Uyen became a thorn in the side of the whole class. Her buttons were never buttoned neatly. Every time she stood at attention, she wobbled. Before standing for two minutes, she groaned and complained of dizziness. The coach did not pamper her at all, causing our entire class to be punished. In their hearts, everyone had already scolded her until heaven and earth were shaken. It was very difficult until break time. My two roommates and I saw that everyone was too upset, so we paid out of our own pocket to invite the whole class to drink Mixue. When the delivery reached Tu Uyen Uyen, she suddenly looked at me with pitiful eyes: "Sorry everyone, I asked you to help me buy this water to make up for my mistake with everyone." "Why did you say you invited everyone?" After hearing that, I immediately took out the WeChat money receipt code: "Okay, a total of one hundred and sixty yuan, scan the code." Tu Uyen Uyen was clearly stunned. According to her green tea scenario, I should have blushed and argued with her. After that, she will feel sorry for herself and say: "Then just consider that you invited me", not having to spend any money, but also building the image of a good person who patiently endures losses. I could see through that bit of her thoughts at a glance. So I held up the code to receive money very firmly. If you want to pretend to be generous, then let yourself pretend. Anyway, everyone has already drank water. Tu Uyen Uyen took a deep breath, but her hand remained stiff and did not move. I deliberately asked loudly: "What's wrong? Don't you want to invite everyone to drink lemonade?" The surrounding classmates turned their heads to look, their eyes full of scrutiny. Tu Uyen Uyen hesitated before taking out her phone, her eyes flashing with anger that she couldn't hide. "I was about to scan the code for you." "It's just over a hundred yuan, not enough money for a normal meal for me." "Don't say one drink, even if I invite the whole class to drink milk tea every day, I can still offer it." The last sentence, she deliberately said loudly. With joy in my heart, I immediately turned around and shouted to everyone: "Have you heard? To make up for causing the whole class to be punished, Tu Uyen Uyen announced that from now on the whole class's daily milk tea will be covered by her!" 2 Upon hearing this sentence, everyone's resentment towards Tu Uyen Uyen immediately evaporated. "Okay! Tu is so generous!" "Looks like we misunderstood him. Surely he didn't mean to pull the leg. class." "I've heard that he's from a rich family for a long time. The whole class's milk tea is amazing!" Hearing everyone's flattery, Tu Uyen Uyen's pride swelled to the limit. She enjoyed it very much, waved her hand and said: "It's just a small matter. The milk tea for these few days of military training is up to me!" The scene immediately rang out with cheers. Looking at her satisfied expression, I tried not to laugh, took my glass of ice water and went under the shade of the tree to enjoy the cool air. The other two roommates, Vuong Duyet and Trieu Ky, approached and gave me a thumbs up. Vuong Duyet was a little worried: "Aren't you afraid of offending her to death by doing that?" The money to buy water this time was divided equally by the three of us. As soon as Tu Uyen Uyen appeared, he wanted to take the credit with his bare hands. I calmly shrugged, transferred the money back to the two of them and winked. "What's the point of wasting words with her? There's a fat goat that comes to the door, if it's not slaughtered, it's a waste. Isn't the free lemonade sweet?" The two of them understood and immediately laughed with me. "Sweet! Sweet to the heart!" Actually, we can't blame us for isolating Tu Uyen Uyen. When school first started, she didn't move into the dorm until the last day. Beds were clearly allocated by the school in advance. But while we were going out to dinner, she

directly threw the bed sheet and duvet cover that Vuong Duyet had spread on the ground, and forcibly took over the good bed next to the window. She also said eloquently: "My health is weak, lying near the door is easy to catch a cold from the wind." "Everyone is roommates, surely you will sympathize with me, right?" What the hell sympathy. Before going out, we clearly saw her alone carrying two large suitcases, running all the way to the fifth floor without even breathing.3At that time I was so angry, I wanted to go up and reason with her but was pulled back by Vuong Duyet. Vuong Duyet has a soft temper and said that in the future, everyone will have to live together for four years, so don't make it too stressful just from the beginning. But giving in only gives way to encroachment. Because of Tu Uyen Uyen's existence, the revolutionary friendship between the three of us quickly became deeper. During the first three days of moving in, Tu Uyen Uyen transformed herself in many ways, repeating the phrase "my family has money" hundreds of times, and emphasized that she was only staying in the dormitory to experience the life of ordinary people. On the surface, we casually replied a few words, then turned around and frantically complained in the three-person group chat. One evening, she changed into a semi-transparent lace nightgown, puckered her lips and searched for an angle for half a day, and then took a photo with the washing machine in the dormitory. Then, she conveniently sent it straight to the large group of the class: "Oh, is there anyone kind enough to teach me how to use this washing machine? At home, these things are all done by maids, I really don't understand." Thanks to this trick of both showing off her body and showing off her wealth, her reputation as a rich child seems to have been completely established. But there were also girls in the class who couldn't stand this type of green tea, and directly scolded the group: "If you don't know how to use it, ask your roommate. Sending this kind of photo in the middle of the night, who are you trying to seduce?" She immediately sent a self-pity emoji, saying that her roommates were all asleep, and she didn't have the heart to wake us up. Right after that, all three of us simultaneously sent the same sentence to the group: "We haven't slept yet." This time it seemed like we were completely tearing each other apart. The feud ended just like that.4After the evening military training session ended. I was lying on my bed scrolling through the school's confession page. As soon as I looked, I saw an anonymous post. 【Confession page, I want to complain about something. I kindly invited the whole class to drink water and asked my roommate to buy it for me, but the roommate took all the credit, making everyone think she invited it. At first I thought it was because I was too sensitive, but now the more I think about it, the more disgusted I feel.】 Below are a few normal boys who like to surround her and are fawning madly on her: 【Don't think too much. It's obvious that your roommate is too ambitious and deliberately steals attention.】 【Probably jealous because you're both beautiful and have good family conditions.】 【Be careful of this type of person in the future. You can tell it's a green tea when you look at it.】 Looking at those brainless comments, I almost burst out laughing. I raised my head and looked at the top bunk. Just met Tu Uyen Uyen's eyes. She was startled and quickly turned her head away. Vuong Duyet and Trieu Ky also saw the post and were so angry that they could not bear it. Two people were texting frantically in a three-person group chat. Vuong Duyet: 【@Lin Hieu, can we just stand by and watch Tu Uyen Uyen spew dirty words on the confession page?】 Trieu Ky: 【I can't bear it! At best, we should post an article, clearly stating the truth that it was she who wanted to steal the credit!】 I quickly texted them to stop them: 【Don't get excited. People post anonymously and can completely deny it later. Besides, have you two forgotten the strong words she said during the day?】 Seeing my words, the three of us in the dormitory looked at each other with understanding. 5The next day,

at the military training ground. The coach's face darkened and he shouted: "Whoever dares to move one more time, the whole class practices for five more minutes!" No surprise, everyone was brutalized by Tu Uyen Uyen. Just standing at attention caused her to squirm, sometimes pulling at the hem of her shirt, sometimes touching the hair on her face. But thinking about the promise of milk tea yesterday, no one complained today. Finally endured until break time. Forty cups of cold milk tea were delivered on time to the training ground. The delivery guy called out loudly: "Your class's milk tea has arrived, who is paying?" In the blink of an eye, more than forty pairs of eyes in the class simultaneously looked towards Tu Uyen Uyen. Tu Uyen Uyen's face turned pale. As soon as she opened her mouth to deny it, I took the lead and clapped vigorously. "Oh! I thought yesterday Tu Uyen Uyen was just talking casually, but I didn't expect that today we actually arranged milk tea for the whole class!" Vuong Duyet and Trieu Ky immediately chimed in from the side: "That's right! Tu is so generous!" Someone took the lead, and the classmates below also began to follow, and voices of thanks rang out continuously. The delivery man waited impatiently, urging: "Can you pay yet?" Tu Uyen gritted her molars and reluctantly stepped forward. "Okay, how much is the total?" "Four hundred yuan." "What? Four hundred?" She immediately stood stunned on the spot. "Ten yuan a cup, this is the price before delivery fee." The delivery man rolled his eyes. "Classmate, can't you pay this amount?" "How is that possible? I just feel so cheap.” Tu Uyen Uyen forced out a smile that was more unsightly than crying, and could only try to pretend to be rich and pay it off. I quickly distributed milk tea to my classmates, and finally took three cups from our room. I even deliberately exclaimed loudly: "Oh, standing in the hot sun and drinking free cold milk tea, this feels so good!" 6 For the next few days, I kept doing it the same way. I made all kinds of changes, placing almost all the milk tea shops around the school. Actually, I don't want to push things to the end. As long as she admits in front of everyone that she's pretending to be rich, this matter will be over. But unexpectedly when paying, she didn't blink an eye. If I hadn't accidentally seen the Huabei debt cancellation notification appear on her phone screen, maybe I would have really believed her words. Could it be that all the money she used to pretend to be generous in inviting guests was borrowed from Huabei? Doesn't she always brag that she has tens of thousands of yuan in living expenses every month? Before I could tell this important discovery to my two roommates, Tu Uyen Uyen suddenly suggested in the dormitory group that everyone go out for a big meal. "Tomorrow is both training and not. In the evening, I invite the whole class to gather for a meal, everyone can foster their feelings."The whole class has been drinking her milk tea every day these past few days. People often say that accepting someone else's food is difficult to refuse, and eating someone else's food is difficult to say harshly. Moreover, she took the initiative to give money, of course no one would refuse. Not long after, she sent the address of the party to the class group. It's a pretty upscale seafood restaurant near the university district. The consumption level is not low, each person must be at least more than two hundred yuan. I suddenly remembered that tomorrow was the deadline for her to repay Huabei. This sudden generosity caused the vigilance in my heart to immediately rise to the highest level. 7That restaurant was located on the commercial street outside the school. The distance is very close. After finishing training, everyone returned to the dormitory to shower and then went in groups of two or three people. When I got to the private room, everyone was passing around menus to order.
