Join the ServerSu Muxue smiled and took Little Glutinous Rice back from Luo Xiaoyun’s lap.
“Look what you did.” She held the cat up in front of Luo Xiaoyun.
Luo Xiaoyun looked down and couldn’t help laughing. Little Glutinous Rice’s fur was all puffed up from her petting, fluffy and disheveled. The cat stared at her with a bewildered, aggrieved look, as if to say, ‘Could you be gentler?’
“I didn’t mean to…” Luo Xiaoyun held back her laugh and reached out to smooth the fur, but the sight of the cat’s bristling coat made her laugh again.
Su Muxue hugged Little Glutinous Rice close, gently stroking its messy fur. “The day after tomorrow is Christmas. Any plans?”
Luo Xiaoyun collapsed back onto the sofa. “No plans. I just want to lie flat at home…”
Before she finished, her phone rang. It was a call. The screen showed ‘Xu Xiangyang’.
Luo Xiaoyun picked up. “Yo?”
“What are you doing?” Xu Xiangyang’s voice came through, energetic, with Zhou Yu’an’s laughter in the background. It sounded lively.
“Lying down, what else? It’s cold, I don’t want to move,” Luo Xiaoyun said weakly.
“Haha, I knew you’d be lying flat at home!” Xu Xiangyang laughed. “Good news. Are you free on Christmas?”
“Yeah, why? I have no other plans. Just lying flat,” Luo Xiaoyun said curiously, a hint of anticipation rising in her. ‘Is there something fun?’
“Good news! Definitely good news!” Xu Xiangyang’s voice rose. “Zhou Yu’an got a girlfriend. He’s over the moon. He said he rented a venue for Christmas, throwing a little party, inviting a few of us close friends to hang out. And he wants us to meet his girlfriend!”
Luo Xiaoyun’s eyes lit up. Her laziness vanished instantly. “Great, great! Where is it? Send me the address!”
“I’ll send you the details later.”
“Wait, let me ask!” Luo Xiaoyun quickly said, her gossip soul blazing. “Who’s Zhou Yu’an’s girlfriend? Do we know her? What does she look like?”
But before she finished, the phone went ‘beep beep beep’ and hung up, not giving her a chance to press further. Luo Xiaoyun stared at her phone, speechless. She rolled her eyes and grumbled, “What a jerk! Hanging up so fast, not even letting me gossip. How annoying!”
She turned to Su Muxue, about to tell her about Zhou Yu’an’s party and ask if she wanted to go.
But Su Muxue spoke first, sounding surprised. “I just got a message from Shen Jiaojiao. She said Jiang Wanling, my other roommate, got an incredibly handsome boyfriend. She’s super happy and rented a venue for a Christmas party. She invited me and told me to bring you along.”
Luo Xiaoyun quickly told her about Zhou Yu’an’s party too.
She paused, eyes wide with surprise. “That can’t be a coincidence, can it? Zhou Yu’an is throwing a party because he found someone, and your roommate Jiang Wanling is also throwing a party because she found someone? And both on Christmas? That’s way too coincidental.”
Su Muxue frowned, her fingers gently stroking Little Glutinous Rice’s fur. “It shouldn’t be that coincidental. Maybe the timing just overlapped.”
As soon as she said that, both their phones vibrated at almost the same time, as if on cue.
Luo Xiaoyun grabbed her phone and opened it. It was Zhou Yu’an sending the party address in their small group chat, along with a message: ‘Christmas at six, be there or be square.’ Su Muxue picked up her phone. On the screen was an address from Shen Jiaojiao, with a note: ‘Jiang Wanling’s party address, six o’clock, don’t forget to come.’
They exchanged a glance and quickly brought their phones together.
The addresses were identical. Even the floor and room number matched perfectly.
Luo Xiaoyun and Su Muxue looked up at the same time, eyes meeting.
“So… Zhou Yu’an’s girlfriend is… your roommate Jiang Wanling?” Luo Xiaoyun’s eyes went wide.
Su Muxue stared at the screen, a flicker of shock in her eyes. She gently ruffled Luo Xiaoyun’s silver hair. “Tonight at Christmas, the answer will naturally come out. Maybe those two have been together for a while, keeping it secret from all of us, wanting to give us a surprise.”
Luo Xiaoyun nodded vigorously. Her gossip soul was fully ignited. Even her desire to lie flat was gone. “I have to see when they got together. Such a big thing, and Zhou Yu’an only tells us now! So unfair!”
Su Muxue also got interested. She asked Shen Jiaojiao, then said, “Shen Jiaojiao said Jiang Wanling only told her last week. Seems like they just got together not long ago.”
“Just got together and already throwing a party? Is this an official announcement?” Luo Xiaoyun immediately opened the dorm group chat and typed a line: ‘Dude, when did this happen? Confess and be lenient!’
After sending it, she stared at the screen for a few seconds. Zhou Yu’an replied: ‘I’ll tell you on Christmas.’
Luo Xiaoyun tossed her phone onto the sofa, puffing. “He’s still playing coy!”
The cat beside her seemed to wake up from the noise. It lifted its little head, looked at Luo Xiaoyun, then at Su Muxue, and let out a soft ‘meow’, as if agreeing or complaining about being disturbed. Then it flicked its tail and curled back up to sleep.
Luo Xiaoyun reached out and patted the cat’s head. Her face was full of anticipation, eyes sparkling. “Looks like this Christmas won’t be boring! A party, good food, and gossip about Zhou Yu’an’s love story. Perfect!”
