She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 228: Chapter 232: Roommate Returns to the Team Chapter 228: Chapter 232: Roommate Returns to the Team Chen Huaying was sorting out stuff she had brought from home when she heard them looking at the “weibo.” She pretended not to care but took a look anyway.

Hmm! It really is pretty!

Chen Huaying scrunched up her nose and pretended to be indifferent, “I think it’s quite ordinary!”

“Who said that? It’s obviously pretty.” She had just asked Sheng Ning how it was made and planned to try making one herself in the future.

“Psh! Is it as pretty as Shanghai’s? Or Guangdong’s? Or Hong Kong’s?” Now that reform and opening-up were happening, more and more things were reaching the Mainland.

In the circle Chen Huaying moved in, she naturally had access to resources others didn’t.

“I’ve heard of Shanghai, but what on earth is Hong Kong?” Before she joined the General Union, the furthest Zhang Hongmei had been was to the town, and the biggest city she knew was the provincial capital.

“The name Hong Kong is so strange, could it be they sell fragrances or something?”

Chen Huaying’s face turned white with anger. Was this girl doing this on purpose? She was really good at it.

“Sheng Ning, come and explain to this country girl.” The more Zhang Hongmei hated being called a “country girl,” the more she wanted to say it.

“I don’t know either! What is Hong Kong?” Sheng Ning held her belly and laughed uproariously, falling onto her own bed, and laughing uncontrollably.

“Alright! You’re all ganging up against me, see if I don’t tear your mouth apart.” Chen Huaying pinned Sheng Ning on the bed and tickled her relentlessly.

Sheng Ning was terribly ticklish, once anyone tickled her, she couldn’t stop laughing. “Hahaha… I was wrong! Dear Huaying, I was wrong… hahaha… it’s too ticklish, stop!”

“I won’t stop, I won’t stop. I’ll show you for making fun of me, dare you do it again?”

“No more, truly no more! Spare me this time!”

“No way! You must apologize!”

“I apologize!” Sheng Ning laughed so hard she could hardly breathe, her black, shiny hair scattering messily across the bed. A hint of allure added to her usual serene demeanor made her especially captivating.

“And where’s the restitution?” Chen Huaying had already set her eyes on the scarf Sheng Ning had just knitted.

“Scarf, this scarf is for you.” Sheng Ning graciously offered the scarf with both hands. “My most esteemed Empress Dowager, these are my humble offerings, are you satisfied?”

Sheng Ning’s expression was hilarious, amusing Zhang Hongmei to no end.

Finally arriving was Wu Youli, who pushed open the door and stood at the doorstep in astonishment.

“It’s alright, I’ll just settle for it!” Successfully securing the scarf, Chen Huaying simply let her go.

Once freed, Sheng Ning collapsed onto the bed.

“Momma! I’m so tired!”

Wu Youli, carrying big and small bags, came in, shaking her head with a smile, her face full of joy. To have such teammates, such roommates, she felt incredibly blessed.

Previously with Zhao Feifei, all she heard were others’ grapevine talks. The topic she heard the most was who had illicit relations, who loved to show off. The chase was pretentious, and who had a powerful background.

These made her very irritable and averse to them. She had always thought that’s how the outside society was, complicated and full of deceit.

But now, she understood, real teammates weren’t like that; they should be like they were now.

Able to play without reservations, able to laugh heartily and carefree.

It’s really nice!

“Yah! You’re back!” Sheng Ning happily offered a smile.

“Yeah! My mom didn’t want to let me return.” Wu Youli’s smile was warm, and after speaking, she didn’t forget to smile toward Zhang Hongmei, “I’ve brought a lot of tasty things, everyone try some.”
