Chapter 13 The Ungrateful Childhood Sweetheart

Ji Huaizhi's campus food delivery business began to get on track.

As campus food delivery grew, the school came to know Ji Huaizhi, mainly because he had been too high-profile lately. Anyone with eyes could see how profitable campus food delivery was.

Everyone knows how many people are in this school.

Many people actually admire him.

However, this matter will likely be resolved after a few words, since everyone has their own things to do and is just initially curious.

Jiang Xiaomei, who was in the library, also started to attract attention. Previously, she was timid and no one had noticed her.

Now that she's started dressing up, more people are looking at her.

Someone mentioned that there was a pretty librarian, and everyone's impression of her became clearer.

Ji Huaizhi is currently busy with campus food delivery and rarely has lunch with her. Some men have started talking to Jiang Xiaomei, and Wan Jie, who came to return a book, happened to run into them.

A teasing gaze fell upon Jiang Xiaomei.

"Excuse me, I have to go to work now." Her voice sounded somewhat helpless as the other person kept asking her if she had a boyfriend.

She had already made it clear that she had a boyfriend, but he just wouldn't let it go and kept talking to her.

It's already affecting her work.

"Then I'll come back to chat with you again next time." The boy made a goodbye gesture when he saw someone coming to return a book.

"No need, we can't chat during work hours, my boyfriend will misunderstand if he sees us." After saying that, she stopped looking at him and beckoned Wan Jie to bring the book over.

Wan Jie pursed her lips, trying not to laugh out loud: "Sure~"

"You look so much more stylish lately, you're so beautiful now! Did your boyfriend buy you this dress?" Wan Jie said with a smile, resting her chin on her hand as she leaned against the bar.

"Stop making fun of me." Jiang Xiaomei put the book away.

"Alright, alright, have you found any good novels lately?" Wan Jie looked down and picked up the book in front of her, only to find it was a research topic.

Just then, Jiang Xiaomei said, "I haven't been reading novels lately. I signed up for this year's self-study exam, and I won't read them until I pass."

“Sure, self-study exams are easy. If you want a bachelor’s degree, you can do a combined associate’s and bachelor’s program, which is much easier,” Wan Jie nodded.

"Then I won't borrow the book. E-books are popular these days. I'll have my roommate send it to me when I get back."

"E-book?" Jiang Xiaomei asked, puzzled.

"It's something you read on your phone, called online novels," Wan Jie explained. "But I won't tell you how to read them yet, so as not to affect your studies."

"Is there any difference between this and the paper version?"

"That's definitely true; you can think of it as something written on a computer."

After everyone left, Jiang Xiaomei couldn't resist searching for ebooks online. Before she knew it, it was time to get off work, and when others came to take over, she was still somewhat reluctant to stop reading.

Realizing I'd slacked off all day, I couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

But when I got back, I couldn't help but turn on my phone and stay up all night watching it under the covers.

Ji Huaizhi woke up in the middle of the night, lifted the blanket next to him, and was so angry he laughed.

"Jiang Xiaomei? How old are you?"

Jiang Xiaomei was so startled that she smashed her phone on her nose. In the end, Ji Huaizhi took the phone away, and she was so anxious about the plot she hadn't finished watching that she was really looking forward to it.

She thought her brother Huaizhi would confiscate her phone, but to her surprise, he returned it to her the next day.

I just told her that she should read in moderation.

After finishing his afternoon classes, Ji Huaizhi packed his things and prepared to slip away, but the counselor came in just as he reached the door. He turned around smoothly and sat down in the first row.

The students behind couldn't help but laugh when they saw this.

"We'll have a quick class meeting today, everyone please sit in the front." The counselor clapped his hands.

His gaze fell on Ji Huaizhi, and he said, "Why do you all sit in the back during class? Everyone should learn from Ji Huaizhi."

Ji Huaizhi looked at the counselor like a well-behaved child.

The counselor became more and more satisfied with it.

"Today at the class meeting, I mainly want to talk about a few things. Some students have told me that some students often don't come home at night. This can't go on. I may have to go to the dorm to check on students at any time."

"We're all adults here. I won't make things difficult for you, and you shouldn't make things difficult for me either."

"At least when I check the dormitories, I don't allow any students to be absent from their dormitories."

The counselor spoke with a strong voice, and his intimidating gaze swept over the students through his glasses.

"There's another matter, which is the student grant." The counselor looked at Ji Huaizhi: "Students who haven't submitted their forms yet, hurry up, tomorrow is the last day, and we won't wait any longer."

"If you don't receive the scholarship because of these small things, then it's your own problem and you should take responsibility for it."

“You’re not young anymore, and I don’t want to keep bringing up these little things.”

At this moment, the counselor looked to the left rear and asked, "Student, do you have a question to ask if you raised your hand?"

The boy stood up, his voice echoing in the lecture hall: "Teacher, aren't scholarships for students from poor families?"

The teacher frowned: "You submitted your own applications for this scholarship, and you voted on it yourselves. Is there a problem?"

"Yes." The boy was in the same dormitory as Ji Huaizhi.

When he got up, Zhou Peng looked at Ji Huaizhi in front of him.

"Now everyone in the school knows that Ji Huaizhi is running that campus food delivery service. He gets tons of orders every day, and he's making a lot of money from it. Isn't it a bit much that he's still taking up a scholarship spot?"

Everyone looked at Ji Huaizhi.

Wan Jie raised an eyebrow and whispered something to the classmate next to her.

“I’m not targeting Ji Huaizhi, after all, we’re in the same dorm. It’s just that some classmates can’t even afford to eat, while he’s renting a place off-campus and paying someone else’s salary. That’s unfair to the other poor classmates in our class.”

Ji Huaizhi smiled but didn't even turn around to look at him.
