Chapter 929 The Pact to Change Heaven

Li Mai and Wan Ruyi served as the control group.

Wan Ruyi's bad luck was well-known, so she didn't have many friends in high school.

Li Mai has friends all over her high school.

However, after comparing themselves for three years, the two developed a mutual respect for each other.

"Wan Ruyi, why are you with Lulu? Are you good friends?"

Li Mai looked at the two of them curiously.

Wan Ruyi was delighted and hugged Shen Lu's arm familiarly: "Yes, we are still students at the same school."

"But how did you two meet?"

Wan Ruyi was also curious, since Li Mai was at Minzu University, which was not adjacent to Imperial University.

Logically speaking, the two people should have no connection whatsoever.

After all, there are no inter-college leagues or inter-college social events in the first-year college program.

There will be more in the future, but that's not important.

"We bumped into each other while watching a talent show."

Li Mai explained with a smile.

There are currently no rumors circulating online that are detrimental to Tang Yun, and she knows that this is thanks to her cousin.

Therefore, she did not want to expose her relationship with Tang Yun.

Just say you watch talent shows, you don't need to say who your favorite idol is.

There's one downside: she was once spotted by Wan Ruyi when she was with Tang Yun.

I wonder if Wan Ruyi will recognize Tang Yun after the show becomes a big hit.

"Does Lulu still like following celebrities?" Wan Ruyi was very surprised.

Her attention was not on Li Mai at all, which is why Li Mai escaped unscathed.

"I don't like it," Shen Lu explained. "I went with a friend, and she went to see the mentors, not the idols."

Wan Ruyi was still very curious: "Which mentor?"

The only talent show that's been airing lately is that training camp thing.

Is it a boy group selection?

She's not interested in boy bands and doesn't follow celebrities much.

But she was curious about which celebrities were worth Shen Lu spending her time watching.

She said she was accompanying a good friend, but Shen Lu at least didn't dislike the celebrity her friend liked.

Otherwise, watching live broadcasts would be a waste of time.

Can't I watch it on my phone?

It's all live anyway.

While the atmosphere at the event may be stronger, going online is more time-saving and less effort-intensive.

It has to be said that Wan Ruyi's thought process is actually quite similar to Shen Lu's.

"Gu Chen."

Shen Lu didn't mind saying that it was Shen Xuejiao who liked it, not her.

It's common knowledge that Shen Xuejiao's idol is Gu Chen.

"So it's Actor Gu. I quite like his movies too. He's a good actor, handsome, and has no scandals. He's a breath of fresh air in the entertainment industry."

"I also like his manager, Sister Juan. She's very assertive and the kind of strong woman I like."

Wan Ruyi felt that she might not be able to be like Sister Juan, because she was very dependent on her father.

But that doesn't stop her from admiring a strong woman.

"Sister Juan looks incredibly cool in a suit."

Shen Lu understood: although Wan Ruyi wasn't pursuing Gu Chen, she was infatuated with Sister Juan.

She smiled and agreed, "You're right, Sister Juan has a queen-like presence."

Wan Ruyi immediately nodded: "Yes, yes, that's the queenly style."

She even felt that even the movie star Gu could only be a younger brother in front of Sister Juan.

However, you can't just say things like that carelessly.

Gu Yingdi has a lot of fans.

"It seems we share the same view."

Shen Lu remained silent.

Seeing that the two of them were talking so enthusiastically, Li Mai didn't disturb them any longer: "We still have to go eat, let's make plans to hang out another day."

As for Rong Tinglan next to her, she simply greeted her politely without asking who the other person was.

Rong Tinglan also wanted to learn more about her cousin's life, so on the way out she asked Wan Ruyi, "Ruyi, is this Li Mai your friend?"

"Why haven't I heard you mention this before?"

Rong Tinglan returned to China a few years ago, and Wan Ruyi chose to board at high school, only returning home on weekends.

It's normal that she doesn't know about Wan Ruyi's situation at school.

"Cousin, you never paid attention to my high school life before, so it's normal that you don't know Li Mai."

"She is not my friend, but my adversary."

"However, I was clearly slightly better in the college entrance exam, otherwise I wouldn't be in the same school as Lulu!"

Wan Ruyi spoke with a smug air, completely disregarding the lives of others.

Limai?

"I'm not that much worse than you, am I?"

Li Mai's results were not much different from Rong Tinglan's.

It's just that the two people made different choices.

Wan Ruyi raised her chin: "But since you didn't get into Beijing University, you can't be a classmate of Lulu."

So you mean you have the upper hand in this matter?

"Are you and Lulu in the same major and the same class?" Li Mai may not be able to handle the big tattooed arm, but she can handle Wan Ruyi, right?

Wan Ruyi's smile froze: "No."

"So you probably don't see her very often, right?"

"In that case, it doesn't really matter whether it's the same school or not."

Li Mai's tone was indifferent.

This made Wan Ruyi very indignant: "How is that possible? We're in the same school, we can meet up for meals anytime."

“You’re different. You have to take a bus to go to your school or to come to our school!” Wan Ruyi said with a smug look on her face.

"It's only four stops, what distance is that? It might not even take you as long to walk around the school grounds."

Li Mai truly believes this.

Wan Ruyi couldn't argue with her and got a little angry: "But we can meet at the school gate, unlike you, where there are too many uncertainties when taking a bus."

Seeing that the two of them were going to keep going on and on, Shen Lu quickly interrupted, "Alright, we can meet up another day when we're free."

"I see that you two have a pretty good relationship."

"But now I have to go home. I have final exams coming up soon, and I need to study."

Since Shen Lu had been so direct, Li Mai and Wan Ruyi couldn't continue arguing.

"Goodbye, Lulu. Let's hang out together next time!" Li Mai said first.

Wan Ruyi quickly followed Shen Lu into her car.

He even gave Li Mai a provocative smile when he got on the bus.

Limai?

She really wanted to hit someone, but she decided against it if it was Wan Ruyi.

When Rong Tinglan saw her cousin get into Shen Lu's car, her expression turned sour.

She rolled down the car window: "Ruyi, I'll take you home, so don't bother Lulu."

Wan Ruyi quickly shook her head: "No, I'll go with Lulu, we're going the same way."

"On the way?" Rong Tinglan realized. "Are you going back to school?"

"Yes, I'm going back to school, not home."

Unlike others, Wan Ruyi didn't really like going home.

Because her father is often busy, only she and her aunt are at home.

The aunt took good care of her, but she wasn't her mother; she was just the aunt who looked after her.

Wan Ruyi always felt a distance between herself and her aunt, finding it difficult to open up to her.

The key point is that she has gone through countless nannies since she was a child, and has become accustomed to not developing feelings for them.

In her opinion, home was cold and impersonal, and she was much happier at school.
