Chapter 130 Who Moved My Thermos?

Tuantuan kept saying things that were infuriating, and after hearing it so many times, Jinran got used to it. Even when Gu Siyan's grandmother and mother were talking enthusiastically, Jinran would just listen with a smile.

That's how fearless they are.

During the meal, Jinran felt that her skills had improved a lot. Gu's mother and grandmother kept putting food on Jinran's plate, looking at her like she was a meat bun. In between, there was Professor Gu's popular science lecture and Tuantuan's warning to have children.

When Jinran left the Gu family home, she held the five books that Professor Gu had given her. Thinking back to the solemn and reluctant look on Professor Gu's face when he handed them to her, it was as if his little darlings were going to suffer with Jinran.

It's heartbreaking to think about, so why make things difficult for each other?

Jinran and Gu Siyan returned to school together. Not long after they left, he took the book from her and said with a smile, "My grandfather really likes you. We're not allowed to touch any of his books."

Jinran blurted out, "Then you should try more now, because you won't have the chance once you get to school."

Gu Siyan was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, and reached out his free hand to rub Jinran's little head.

She was actually indignant and thought, "What's so funny? Hasn't she endured enough hardship?"

When Jinran returned to her dormitory, there were already people inside. Feng Lijuan greeted Jinran, but Jinran didn't pay much attention. She put her books on her bed and then thought about getting a cup to pour herself some water. She picked up the thermos and shook it—it was empty.

No, she remembers leaving with a full bottle.

Jinran looked up and asked the people inside, "Who touched my thermos?"

No one answered.

Jinran was so angry she laughed, and asked Feng Lijuan directly, "Did you see who used my thermos?"

Feng Lijuan smiled and said, trying to smooth things over, "It's just a pot of hot water, Shen Jinran. I'll get you another one later."

Jinran sneered, "Feng Lijuan, you're not very perceptive. Was I talking about the hot water? Today it might be a pot of hot water, but what about tomorrow? Will you just take whatever you want? Taking things without permission is theft, and that's a very bad thing. I'm not very familiar with any of you here, and I don't know you. You can ignore my answer and avoid the topic."

A girl named Chen Feng said softly, "I just wanted some hot water. Please don't be angry, okay? My family is poor and we can't afford a thermos. Lijuan said your thermos should be full, so I only used a little."

Jinran then asked, "Then why not fill it up completely after using it? Isn't that the most basic thing?"

Chen Feng lowered her head and stopped talking. The others started to criticize Jin Ran, saying that she was making a mountain out of a molehill, that she was not united at all, and that it was no big deal.

Jinran nodded and agreed, "Yes, it's not a big deal, but I'm just that stingy. I don't like helping others, and I don't want to give things away. You'd better stay away from me in the future."

Jinran went to the water room, filled the thermos with water, and then locked it. She also locked up all the other small items that were outside.

With a stern expression, he said, "You're all thieves and accomplices. I don't feel comfortable leaving such valuable things out here."

The girls in the dorm were furious. Feng Lijuan even hated Chen Feng; what an idiot. Why did she have to drag her into the confession?

Jinran didn't want to stay in the dormitory, so she took her books and went to the library.

As soon as Jinran left, the group started talking badly about her. Feng Lijuan remained silent, while Chen Feng apologized to her, "Sister Lijuan, I just said something without thinking. I didn't mean it. Please don't take it to heart. I know you've always wanted to be good friends with Shen Jinran. I'm worried she might misunderstand you now. I'm so sorry. Waaah..."

Feng Lijuan felt that she had met her match.

She forced a stiff smile and kept trying to comfort the heartbroken Chen Feng. Inwardly, however, she was incredibly annoyed.

When Jinran arrived at the library, she felt that she had really changed. How could she be so passionate about learning? Something was wrong. What was she going to do today?

Yes, we'll look at houses, and then go sightseeing and eat.

It's true that male beauty can be a trap!

Jinran sighed for a while, then buried herself in her book and studied seriously. What if Professor Gu asked her a question in class and she couldn't answer it? Wouldn't she lose face?
