And Xie Li, who was sitting in the car, had been paying attention to the entrance. As soon as he saw Tang Man appear in the hall with her luggage, he got out of the car, took a few steps forward, and took the suitcase from her hand.

After taking the suitcase, he looked up and met the eyes of the three people behind her. He glanced at Tang Man out of the corner of his eye, smiled politely, and said, “Sorry for the trouble.”

“I am Tang Man’s…” He glanced at Tang Man and suddenly got a little stuck, not knowing how to introduce himself. This seemed to be the first time he appeared in front of Tang Man’s acquaintances after they had confirmed their relationship.

He was still a bit hesitant, but Tang Man had already followed his words and said naturally, “This is my fiancé, Xie Li.”

Under Xie Li’s gaze, she introduced the other three people to him with an unchanged expression, “These are my three roommates.”

Then she simply introduced the names of the three people.

Xie Li knew the identities of Tang Man’s three roommates, and even knew their names. This was not because he had intentionally inquired, but because sometimes he had to deal with some of Tang Man’s matters, so he naturally learned about them. So he nodded and said hello to them.

The three girls glanced at Tang Man, nodded a little stiffly as well, but secretly poked each other’s arms behind their backs, blinking their eyes with the vibrancy and liveliness that should be present at this age.

Xie Li only pretended not to see their actions and put all the things in their hands in the trunk. Tang Man then turned her head to the three people who were standing stiffly in a row and said, “He’s going to put away the things. Let’s get in the car first.”

Xie Li’s car was not small. The back seat could comfortably seat three people.

As soon as Tang Man fastened her seat belt, she felt her cell phone vibrate. Messages were rolling on the screen, and the dormitory group that had been silent for several hundred years became active again, like a fish pond with a bomb thrown into it, with emoticons scrolling endlessly.

The three of them fully affirmed Xie Li’s appearance, thinking that he was no worse than Du Henian.

Tang Man set the group messages to do not disturb. When Xie Li got in the car, the three people in the back seat immediately behaved, put down their phones, sat upright, and smiled like genteel ladies.

The entire car fell into silence.

Tang Man connected to the Bluetooth, opened her phone to play a song, and turned her head to say to the three people in the back seat, “Didn’t you always want to have a meal at the restaurant near the school? I had Xie Li book a private room today. Order whatever you want. Let him bleed some money today.”

Since they had to go back to the school later, it wasn’t good to book a restaurant too far away. Tang Man simply had Xie Li book a nearby restaurant. For students, the price was obviously a bit high. Only the working class could afford to splurge once in a while, and Tang Man’s three roommates, who were still relying on their parents’ allowance to survive, obviously didn’t have the means.

In front of Xie Li, the three of them suppressed their inner excitement, smiled with a bit of shyness, and nodded, but in the group chat, they kept sending messages to Tang Man saying how generous the boss was.

Tang Man smiled, thinking it was really rare for these three to be so lively in front of her.

When they arrived at the restaurant, they followed the waiter into the private room. Xie Li let the four of them order.

Tang Man actually rarely ate with her roommates. She could only roughly remember a few of their taboos. So she thought for a bit and ordered all the signature dishes in the restaurant. For the rest, she let her roommates freely choose, so that they wouldn’t feel embarrassed.

However, halfway through the meal, Xie Li had to leave first. He received a call from the company saying that there was a problem with a project. It was a bit urgent and he needed to go to the company, so he could only leave first. But before leaving, he had already settled the bill at the counter.

So in the second half, only the four of them from their dormitory were left. As soon as Xie Li left, the atmosphere became lively. The three of them started asking Tang Man about Xie Li’s background.

Because at a glance, Xie Li was not in their age group. He looked about the same age as Du Henian, but had worked for a while. Naturally, he had an aura about him. In the words of one of the roommates, it was a boss’s aura.

“He was introduced by my family.” Tang Man didn’t say much, only that he was introduced by her family. She felt she liked him, so they spent some time together and then got married.

“So it was a marriage between equal families.”

They all sighed, “Tang Man, we originally thought you would be the last one to get married. We never thought you would be the first to settle down.”

Because of Tang Man’s appearance, it was easy to create a misconception that someone like her was not easy to approach and had very high requirements for a romantic partner. Of course, this part was true. Her requirements were indeed not low.

So many people thought that she definitely wouldn’t get married too early. This seemed to be a kind of inertial thinking. So when they saw the ring on her hand, they were so surprised. For a woman, getting engaged or married at the age of twenty-four was already a very early age.

Tang Man just smiled and said nothing more.

She wasn’t about to tell others why she got engaged so early. It was not very decent for her, and for Xie Li, it was not something worth bragging about either.

When they finished eating and came out, it was already around two o’clock. Tang Man called a car, and they took a taxi back to the school. There was a class reunion in the evening, and in the afternoon, she still had to go to the office building to see her mentor.

Almost the entire day was spent at the school.

However, in the afternoon, when the few of them had just left the dormitory building, Tang Man found that she had left her cell phone in the dormitory. She had to let the other three go first, while she went back to get her phone. After getting her phone from the dormitory, she hurried out the door. Then, almost as soon as she walked out of the dormitory building, she saw a familiar figure.

The other party also saw her and stopped in his tracks.

It was now dusk, the sky was already a bit dark, but it was still a bit hot. Tang Man was still dressed in hot pants, while Du Henian was dressed very conservatively in long sleeves and pants, but he looked much more haggard.

She hesitated for a moment, but still walked over and greeted him, “Long time no see.”

Du Henian didn’t say anything.

As she got closer, she found that his complexion was not very good. His face was pale, without a trace of blood. His whole person looked like he could be blown over by the wind at any time.

She hesitated for a moment. Considering their past, she felt that she shouldn’t be so cold-blooded. So she asked, “Du Henian, are you okay?”
