Chapter 267 The Strange Li Xinxin

Just as she changed into flashy clothes, slung a trendy little bag over her shoulder, and was about to leave, Yunxia blocked the doorway, preventing her from leaving.

"It's the middle of the night, instead of washing up and going to bed, you want to go out and have fun? If you dare to step out of this door, I'll report you to the dorm manager, hmph!"

Li Xinxin knew that she was absolutely capable of doing such a thing. She angrily threw down her small backpack and scrambled onto the bed. "Hmph, fine, I won't go then. It's almost the weekend, and you still have to spend time with your Bai Ye. Let's see how you manage to control me!"

Once someone's heart is set on wandering, no one can persuade them to stay. Yunxia couldn't accept a place like a bar. Hearing this, she shook her head helplessly, turned around, and took the plastic basin to the washroom to wash up.

“Xinxin, Xiaxia is doing this for your own good. I heard from my classmates that bars are very chaotic, with all sorts of people. She's worried about you getting into danger.”

With a whoosh, the bed curtains were pulled open, and someone poked their head out, puffing out their cheeks, and said angrily, "We're both adults, and even my mom can't control me, let alone a roommate. I'm definitely going to the bar this weekend. It's like fine wine, Hongxia, do you want some...?"

"I'd better not, such delicious food is beyond my ability to enjoy. I'll go wash up first!"

"Hmph, they're all emotionless bastards!"

After muttering to herself, she pulled down the curtain, didn't go downstairs to wash up, and went straight into bed. She fell asleep in no time.

Yunxia went home for the weekend, and Li Hongxia went out early to work as a part-time flyer distributor. Li Xinxin got up, put on heavy makeup, carried a flashy little bag, and spent a whole day and night at a bar, only returning to her dormitory around 1 p.m. the next day.

At 7 p.m., when Li Hongxia returned from her part-time job, she noticed that something was wrong with her. She couldn't get up no matter how she called her. After calling her many times, she only responded with a few "uh-huhs". Fearing that she might catch a cold, she quickly pulled open her bed curtains.

"Xinxin, your face is so red! Let me take you to the infirmary!"

Li Xinxin struggled to open her red eyes and said irritably, "Don't bother me. I've taken fever reducer. Can't you let me sleep in peace for a while?"

This was the first time she had spoken so bluntly. Li Hongxia pursed her lips, not daring to disturb her sleep any longer, and had no choice but to return to her seat and busy herself with her own things. At 10 p.m., Yunxia returned with large and small bags. Just as she was about to distribute the gifts, she was stopped by Li Hongxia.

"What's wrong?"

He put his index finger to his lips, shushed her a few times, then pointed to the bed with the curtains drawn tightly and whispered, "Shh, Xinxin is still sleeping, and she's a bit grumpy when she wakes up. Don't disturb her."

Grumpy when you wake up?

We've lived together for over a year and I've never noticed her being grumpy in the morning.

"What time did she get back yesterday?"

“She didn’t come back all night yesterday, but when I got back to the dorm at 7 p.m. tonight, she was already there.”

It's normal to stay at a bar until the next morning. Li Hongxia had to go to her part-time job and left early in the morning, so it was understandable that the two of them wouldn't run into each other. Yunxia didn't think too much about it, shared some snacks with her, put them on her table, and then went to do her own thing.

On Monday morning, with only one class scheduled, Li Xinxin finally got out of bed. Her head was drooping, her hair was messy, her steps were unsteady, and she walked very slowly, almost shuffling along the ground.

"Xinxin, are you alright? Should I take you to the infirmary?"

Startled by the sudden touch, she jerked her hand away from Yunxia's. Then, as if realizing she couldn't do it, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she whispered, "Sorry, I was half asleep and didn't see it was you. I'm fine, just a little hangover. I'll be fine in a few days."

Yunxia had never been drunk, so she couldn't judge the truthfulness of his words. After being questioned repeatedly, he became irritated and almost swore.

"Okay, I won't ask you anymore. Go wash up quickly. I've put your breakfast on the table. Remember to go to the classroom after you eat. I'll go save a seat for you."

"Um!"

For the next week, Li Xinxin was not herself. She was listless and had no interest in doing anything. She often forgot things and sometimes had to be reminded by the people behind her when she went to the cafeteria to get food.

Yunxia and Li Hongxia had pressed him for an answer several times, but each time the answer was that it was a hangover. Just as they were about to help him to the infirmary, he suddenly returned to normal.

With a bright smile on her face, carrying a big bag of snacks, she skipped back to her dorm. "My dear roommates, I, Li Xinxin, am back to life!"

"Finally, a smile. You were such a zombie before, it was terrifying. Oh, what day is it today? You actually splurged on cream puffs."

Compared to cakes and bread, cream puffs are much more expensive, costing about three cents each. Even Yunxia, ​​a woman who is quite wealthy, only indulges in them occasionally. Therefore, Li Hongxia was quite shocked to see a large bag of cream puffs.

"It's just food, no need to skimp. Today, I'm officially no longer single!"

"You're with Fu Can?"

Yunxia asked in surprise, "Is Fu Can the poor boy I mentioned before? He's very clever. His suitors (fangirls) all come from well-off families. He has explicitly rejected those from poor families."

Upon hearing this, Li Xinxin smiled shyly and said, "Well, shh, you two mustn't tell anyone. He's currently running for student council president, so he can't expose his relationship. That's why we're keeping our relationship a secret."

"What about all the women around him?"

People in love are most prone to jealousy, especially someone like Li Xinxin with her outspoken and fiery personality. She and Fu Can are bound to have a small argument every three days and a big one every five!

"Ah Can promised me he'd slowly explain things to those women. Ugh, don't even mention it. You can't shut your mouth, no matter what you say. Your Bai Ye has just as many suitors as Fu Can!"

"Do you really think those two... are comparable?"

When Bai Ye encounters suitors, she directly rejects them, stating that she has no intention of getting to know them or becoming friends. She boldly declares that Yun Xia is her girlfriend. As for Fu Can, he doesn't firmly refuse them. After declining a few times, he accepts gifts from others without hesitation. He also flirts with a large group of girls, exuding a "central air conditioner" vibe everywhere.

But this kind of person just happens to be to Li Xinxin's liking. She devoted her whole heart to him, and over the course of a year, she didn't know how much money she had spent on him. Oh well, when someone is immersed in love, you can't persuade them no matter what you say!

"How is it different? I believe that with Ah Can's talent and ability, his future achievements will be no less than those of Senior Bai Ye."

Oh, so it turns out they misunderstood that someone was belittling Fu Can's birth.

"That's not what I meant. Okay, I won't say it anymore. You should be careful when you're with him. This semester has just begun, so don't waste all your living expenses."

Li Xinxin blinked guiltily. Her current living expenses were 200 yuan a month, but her parents, to save trouble, had transferred 1000 yuan directly. Only half a month had passed, and she'd already spent half of it. Besides, Fu Can had been nagging her these past few days about needing a suit, and she was thinking…
