Ye Wenyu nodded, determined to find out what was going on. Yuanyuan said to her, "Oh, if someone gives you money, just take it. By the way, that rich guy group I added you to last time, people send out red envelopes every day, why don't you grab any?"

Ye Wenyu glanced at Yuanyuan and said to her irritably, "Last time, because you grabbed a red envelope, I added that rich guy on WeChat. I wanted to return it to him, but he wouldn't accept the red envelope. I still can't delete him because I haven't returned the money. Do you know that rich guy?"

Yuan Yuan laughed and immediately said mischievously, "I don't know him, I don't know him." She raised her eyebrows and said with a grin, "If that rich guy won't accept it, you should explain to him that you want to return the red envelope to him, and why you want to return it. So you should talk to him." Yuan Yuan thought to herself, she was really doing her job as a matchmaker faithfully. She would ask Brother Lin for a huge red envelope in the future!

Ye Wenyu thought Yuanyuan's words made sense, so she opened WeChat, found the WeChat friend named "Lin", and sent another 200 yuan red envelope, along with a private message: "Please accept the red envelope. We don't know each other, and I feel really uneasy about taking your red envelope for no reason."

Lin Tingfeng was working when he heard a WeChat notification on his phone. At first, he didn't pay much attention to it, but when he finished his work and wanted to take a break, he picked up his phone to check. To his surprise, it was a red envelope from Ye Wenyu. He was pleasantly surprised, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face. He carefully read her message; it was still the same red envelope, and she was still insisting on returning it to him. He smiled slightly, scrolled back to read the last time she returned a red envelope to him and her explanation for doing so. He felt a warm glow inside, and the smile on his face didn't fade.

That's what it's like to like someone, isn't it? Secretly, alone, you read through your chat history over and over again, countless times.

These days, when Lin Tingfeng gets tired from work, he opens WeChat to look at his chat history with Ye Wenyu. The two of them haven't actually exchanged many words, but looking at her profile picture and the text she sent, he inexplicably feels happy and at peace.

This must be what love feels like. Lin Tingfeng liked it very much and cherished it. However, he didn't plan to get closer for the time being, afraid that getting closer would only disappoint him.

His youthful naiveté was so endearing that even his silly little sister laughed at it.

Therefore, Lin Tingfeng simply sent a smoking emoji and still refused Ye Wenyu's red envelope.

Ye Wenyu was extremely helpless. She shook her head and said to Yuanyuan, "He still refuses to accept the red envelope."

Yuan Yuan seized the opportunity and suggested to her, "Then the only way to return the red envelope to him is to invite him out and treat him to a meal."

She blinked her tiny green beady eyes and gave a mischievous grin.

Ye Wenyu glared at Yuanyuan and scolded her irritably, "Are you stupid? Would a rich person eat a meal that costs two hundred yuan? Who's going to pay for the extra money? I can't afford it. Let's think of another way."

She left in a hurry after saying that. Yuan Yuan stuck out her tongue and smiled. She thought that it would be extremely difficult for Brother Lin to win over Ye Wenyu. His current progress was probably just the first step in a long march.

Ye Wenyu remembered the extra four thousand yuan on her meal card, and she couldn't rest easy until she found out. Remembering her doubts, she finished her meal, parted ways with Yuanyuan in the student cafeteria, and hurried towards the student affairs office of their department.

We must find out the truth no matter what.

There were teachers working in the student affairs office. Ye Wenyu found the relevant person in charge, explained the situation, and the balding male teacher asked her after she finished speaking, "Subsidies for students in poverty?"

Ye Wenyu nodded seriously and said anxiously, "Yes, four thousand yuan suddenly appeared in my meal card. Someone told me it was a subsidy for poor students from the school. The school secretly deposited the money into my meal card to protect the self-esteem of poor students. Thank you, school."

The balding male teacher smiled, glanced at Ye Wenyu, shook his head, and said, "It's not a poverty subsidy. First, poverty subsidies aren't issued at this time; they're usually issued at the beginning of the semester. Second, the poverty subsidy isn't four thousand yuan. Imagine, four thousand yuan for one poor student? With so many students in our school, where would we get that much money? Generally, a poor student gets an 800 yuan meal allowance per semester. Third, student, what's your name? Are you a poor student at our school?"

What? Not a student aid grant for impoverished students?

Where did she get the extra money?

Ye Wenyu was stunned, her mind filled with doubts.

She looked at the male teacher and said her name: "My name is Ye Wenyu, Ye as in leaf, Wen as in literature, and Yu as in beautiful jade."

The male teacher nodded, typed "Ye Wenyu" into the computer, and a large amount of information was displayed. After carefully reviewing it, he said to Ye Wenyu, "Ye Wenyu, you are not a student from a poor family in our school. Your name is not on our school's list of students from poor families."

Yes, Ye Wenyu nodded slowly, feeling both disappointed and confused. She wasn't a student from a poor family, so she didn't receive any financial aid. So, what was the extra money in her meal card?

Brother Wen told her it was a subsidy for impoverished students, and the auntie in the recharge room smiled mysteriously. So, the only person who might have transferred money to her was actually Brother Wen!

Ye Wenyu raised her head, and in an instant, as if all the small pieces of a jigsaw puzzle had been found, a complete picture appeared before her.

She realized that the money was deposited into her meal card by her brother Wen. Since he couldn't eat with her to ensure she got the nutrition she needed for three meals a day, he changed his way of taking care of her by depositing money into her meal card.

Thinking of this, Ye Wenyu felt a warmth in her heart. Although it was the coldest time of winter and water was freezing cold outdoors, she felt as if she were sitting next to a warm stove.

Because in this world, only he would treat her so well.

She thought happily that she found an extra four thousand yuan in her meal card. Her first thought was that he had topped up her meal card. She took the initiative to find him, but he didn't want her to refuse, so he shook his head and denied it, saying it was a subsidy for students in poverty, trying to get away with it.

Brother Wen must have spoken to the lady in the recharge room, asking her not to reveal the truth. That's why the lady smiled mysteriously and told her that it must have been someone who cared about her who recharged her account.

However, Brother Wen's secret could only be kept secret until the recharge room, because the university is also a huge system, and the subsidies for poor students have strict standards. Therefore, when she asked at the student affairs office today, the lie was exposed.
