Chapter 8 hasn't been sent yet, since my phone is in my desk.

Gu Nanqiu glanced warily into the cubicle, where the person inside was hurling the most vile insults at a man who had fallen to the ground.

She made a three-pointer at Yue Yiyue.

Yue Yiyue estimated that there shouldn't be any problems.

She picked up the mop that had fallen to the ground. Gu Nanqiu was still wondering what she was going to do? Was she pretending to be a cleaner to scare people away?

Then Yue Yiyue kicked open the door and smeared a mop on someone's face.

That movement was incredibly fast, accurate, and ruthless.

The people inside were also caught off guard by the attack. Before they could even finish their smug smiles, their faces were washed by a dirty, smelly mop.

"Why is it you again, you stinking thing—" Before the insulting words could be uttered, Yue Yiyue kicked him in the groin.

The squad leader had never experienced such a brutal fighting style.

He clutched his groin, his face contorted in pain: "Damn it, what are you all standing there for? Get him!"

The two men standing beside her looked at the menacing Yue Yiyue. They exchanged glances and remembered that the class monitor had failed to get the better of her twice in a row.

Yue Yiyue stood in the shadows, his eyes fierce as he glared at the other two: "Want to try?"

But when they saw Fanning behind them...

The crimson blood kept stimulating Yue Yiyue's pupils, and the image of his younger sister being pinned to the ground by a wicked person and having her face slashed with a knife overlapped with the scene before him.

She instantly became like an enraged lioness.

Several heavy footsteps echoed in the empty room.

The sound of dragging, the wailing.

This created a discordant sound.

He casually tossed the person down in front of Fan Ning, and Yue Yiyue roughly grabbed the squad leader's short hair.

Yue Yiyue picked up the bloodstained knife from the side, patted it on his repulsive face, and coldly ordered, "Apologize."

"Otherwise, I'm not sure what I would do." Her tone was calm, but the veins on her hands were bulging, showing that she was suppressing her anger. Because of her anger, her face was flushed, and her hands were trembling slightly.

Yue Yiyue was unusually fierce.

This is completely different from her usual self.

The squad leader was seeing stars from the beating. Looking at the person in front of him who was more ferocious than a demon, he flinched.

"Yue Yiyue, calm down, calm down." Gu Nanqiu pulled him back: "Fan Ning is fine, I'll take her to the infirmary later."

The class monitor quickly begged for forgiveness: "I was wrong, I won't do it again, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have treated her like that."

As he spoke, he felt he wasn't being sincere enough, so he awkwardly slapped himself twice, afraid that Yue Yiyue wouldn't be satisfied, and said ingratiatingly, "I'll give you the class monitor position later, I have another way."

Coming back to her senses from the past, Yue Yiyue frowned, closed her eyes to calm herself, let go of her hand, stood up, neither refusing nor agreeing, only leaving behind the words: "Don't let me see you lay a hand on someone else next time."

Two people nearby quickly came over to help the class monitor, whose legs were weak with fright, and the group ran out.

Gu Nanqiu looked at Yue Yiyue, whose eyes were red with worry, and said, "Let's go to the infirmary together. You didn't look well just now."

Yue Yiyue rubbed her head, opened her mouth, her voice a little hoarse and tinged with tears: "Thank you, I'm sorry, he reminded me of some bad things."

But this is Yue Yiyue, a food delivery worker, not Yue Yiyue who lives here and enjoys a comfortable life, so she can't say or explain.

I thought Gu Nanqiu would ask why I fought and what I was so skilled at.

But Gu Nanqiu just patted Yue Yiyue's head and brushed the dust off her clothes: "This is dangerous. Next time I will call the teacher to come and chase them away. Protecting yourself is the most important thing."

"Hmm." Yue Yiyue turned her head away somewhat awkwardly, not wanting Gu Nanqiu to see her crying.

She's been like this since she was little; she's prone to tears when she gets excited, so she usually has a blank expression, but she just couldn't control herself just now.

Fan Ning, who was standing to the side, touched her face. After hesitating for a moment, she finally spoke, "Thank you, I'm sorry."

"Stop the bleeding first. This spot is a bit out of the way. Luckily you were smart enough to make a sound." Gu Nanqiu handed Fan Ning a piece of paper. "This won't happen again. No need to apologize. The reason you were treated this way is partly my fault, isn't it?"

Although it was her first time here, all the "classmates" were showing her goodwill, which aroused some of her suspicion.

Some more things are needed to prove it.

Fan Ning looked at the soft tissues printed with small yellow flowers, carefully pulled one out, and wiped her scratched face.

It hurt a lot, but when I saw Gu Nanqiu, the pain turned into a dense, itchy sensation.

She's here.

Like a god, they descended upon me in my most desperate moment...

She lowered her eyes and thanked her softly, "School's over, don't linger in the school building area for too long."

"This isn't good." She paused. "I don't need to go to the infirmary either. I... I'll go back to my dorm and take care of it."

"It's alright." Gu Nanqiu simply patted Fan Ning on the shoulder: "Yi Yue should also go and get his wound treated."

When Yue Yiyue's name was mentioned, he glanced at his hands, which were completely bare.

She thought maybe this was to make Fanning feel more comfortable.

"Yes, I want to go too, let's go together."

Five minutes later, they pushed open the door to the infirmary.

"Hmm? Who is it?" The doctor in the white coat adjusted his glasses, holding a bottle of white medicine in his hand, checking the production date.

"Excuse me, teacher, my friend got cut and wants to have the wound treated." Gu Nanqiu politely communicated with the teacher in the infirmary.

He pushed Fanning inside.

Yue Yiyue leaned against the door frame with his hands in his pockets, listening to the sounds inside.

She looked up at the sky, which was mostly dyed red by the setting sun, and felt a little sleepy.

I couldn't resist making a move just now.

What will happen next?

They'll probably retaliate.

Yue Yiyue sighed. He had clearly promised the dean to tone it down and not be as sullen as before.

At twenty years old, inside the body of an eighteen-year-old, there's a strange sense of unease.

But such a thing is really...

Moreover, growing up in that environment, the survival of the fittest and the struggle for territory were commonplace.

She tilted her head back in annoyance, and her head hit the ground with a soft thud.

"Won't this be uncomfortable?" Gu Nanqiu, who was holding iodine and cotton swabs, saw Yue Yiyue looking like a heartbroken puppy as soon as she came out.

She walked over and touched Yue Yiyue's face, patting his head as a reward: "You were really amazing just now!"

Like coaxing a child.

This made Yue Yiyue blush.

She wanted to avoid Gu Nanqiu's touch, but her body honestly took a step forward, getting closer to Gu Nanqiu and able to smell the faint fragrance of osmanthus more clearly.

She leaned her head wearily on Gu Nanqiu's shoulder: "Today was so chaotic."

I'm so tired.

I started thinking about all sorts of messy things from the past again.

Mingming had just managed to get through this difficult time, and she had been helped by such kind people as the dean and Aunt Zhang.

I arrived here before I even had a chance to repay the kindness.

Can we go back?

The doubt quickly turned into certainty: they could go back.

The person on the other end of the text message said that I could go back.

"I'm fine, I don't need any medicine."

Gu Nanqiu ignored it, simply applied iodine solution, and peeled off the bandage.

Fan Ning's cry of pain came from inside the room. Yue Yiyue looked into the room with concern. Gu Nanqiu bent down and gently applied medicine to Yue Yiyue's injured area. In a place that Yue Yiyue could not see, a small, long, unusually soft thing left some special mucus.

Gu Nanqiu glanced cautiously at Yue Yiyue, and finding that he hadn't seen her, she looked up at him with bright eyes, her lips slightly upturned, her voice sweet: "Okay, I'll apply it again for you after you wash up~"

————

Holding Gu Nanqiu's meal card, he hurriedly bought four loaves of bread and three bottles of milk at the store.

Just as Gu Nanqiu had said, the instant noodle section on the shelf was completely empty.

Yue Yiyue didn't care, but focused her gaze on the card with six 9s flashing on it. The thing she had been worried about all day had been resolved.

Just like in the original novel, Gu Nanqiu had no idea that she had an unlimited meal card.

So when I told her I didn't have my meal card and needed to borrow hers, she took it out without hesitation.

My meal card only has about seventy yuan left.

In the original story, there was only one way to earn meal card coins here: capture students and put them in the small dark room.

One hundred.

Originally hesitant about whether he would starve to death here, Yue Yiyue had a shameful thought when he saw Gu Nanqiu's balance.

If she can't find another way to top up her account, she might be able to borrow some money from Gu Nanqiu.

This is the special favor that this other world has for Gu Nanqiu.

As her teammate, it shouldn't be a problem for her to borrow a little bit.

He handed the bread and milk to Fan Ning, and together they walked to the fourth floor of the dormitory. Fan Ning clutched the things in her hands, politely said thank you, and walked to the innermost dormitory.

Watching the person walk completely inside, a sudden, inexplicable panic made Yue Yiyue take a bite of bread with some annoyance.

The sweet aroma of bread filled her mouth. She took a sip of milk, but it was a bit dry on its own, not as good as a one-yuan steamed bun.

With a clatter of keys, Gu Nanqiu pushed open the dormitory door: "So hungry? Then have two pieces of bread."

"No, I just want to bite something," Yue Yiyue said vaguely.

It's a habit I developed since childhood; I don't know if my body still has it.

"Your habit hasn't changed at all." Gu Nanqiu glanced at the clean and tidy double room.

Two small beds, thin curtains, a table, a wardrobe, and a lockable cabinet at the top. Yue Yiyue subconsciously scanned the room but couldn't find the key.

There's still moss in the corner; at least we should be thankful that no mushrooms have grown there.

Gu Nanqiu stepped aside and said, "Come in and take a look. I'll check if the clothes in the closet are wearable."

"Don't you like this bread?" Yue Yiyue asked curiously, seeing that Gu Nanqiu showed no intention of eating.

"Wait a minute, I'm not hungry yet." Gu Nanqiu carefully opened the wardrobe and peeked inside. Good, there was nothing strange. She rummaged through the wardrobe and found four sets of school uniforms and two sets of similar pajamas.

"Yiyue, this white one is a bit bigger than the pink one. Can I wear this one?" Gu Nanqiu picked up the clothes and waved them at Yue Yiyue. "Would you like the pink one? I can't open that locked cabinet, and I haven't found the key."

"I found a new toothbrush. I threw away the old one. Pink is fine. I'm not picky about colors. Okay, I'll just leave the cabinet there for now." Yue Yiyue looked at the unopened towel, felt its softness, and checked the ingredients. He didn't care about the cabinet.

"I'll tidy up the place a bit, since I don't know if anyone has stayed here before. See if you have any new sheets." Yue Yiyue felt that the place wasn't very clean, and after thinking for a moment, he decided he couldn't be lazy.

There wasn't much homework assigned tonight, and it wasn't too difficult. Although Yue Yiyue didn't go to university, he still occasionally tutors his younger sisters, so he hasn't forgotten too much.

Gu Nanqiu listened to Yue Yiyue's instructions and rummaged through the contents: "Yes, they should all be washed, and there's still the smell of fabric softener."

He took out two sets of blue plaid duvet covers: "Then we'll have to make the first night bearable. I don't know how long we'll be staying here. It would be great if we could go back tomorrow."

"After all, it's almost time for school to start."

After washing the entire dormitory room, a feeling of hunger spread from my stomach, accompanied by a strange sensation of stomach acid burning my stomach lining.

"Eat up, I didn't eat much tonight." Gu Nanqiu handed the food to Yue Yiyue.

When there's nothing to do, Yue Yiyue doesn't talk much. Her eyes will sometimes wander and stare blankly at a certain place. When she sees something Gu Nanqiu hands her, she pulls herself back to reality and takes it without ceremony. She tears open the bread bag and eats it expressionlessly.

She still had that dazed look on her face, but instead of saying anything, she thought that she definitely couldn't miss the dinner service time next time.

If all else fails, consider asking someone to get you two meals.

I can't let Gu Nanqiu live such a hard life with me.

"What are you thinking about?" Gu Nanqiu's voice stood out in the empty dormitory room, somewhat ethereal, but even more pleasant to hear.

Yue Yiyue gripped the bread bag tightly, the plastic rustling as it scraped against the ground, before it flew in an arc into the trash can: "I know you've suffered with me, eating this dry bread. I don't know if you've had enough."

"I don't have a big appetite, don't worry, go do your homework." Gu Nanqiu also imitated Yue Yiyue and threw the packaging bag in the trash can.

"Go to bed early after you finish writing. You've been busy all day."
