Chapter 247 We didn't know each other before, but now we do.

"Please bring me four steamed buns every morning. Meat buns would be best. If not, sauerkraut buns, vegetarian buns, or steamed buns are fine too, as long as I have something to eat."

She unzipped her school uniform and took out a hundred-yuan bill from the pocket of her inner jacket and gave it to her.

"This is the cost of breakfast for one month, a monthly subscription. If it's not enough, let me know later."

Xu Yue felt the money was a bit too much. "A monthly subscription doesn't need to cost this much. Fifty a month is fine."

She could only bring breakfast for Shen Xuewei for a maximum of twenty-six days, and each steamed bun cost only fifty cents, which works out to only two yuan a day. How could she possibly accept one hundred yuan from Shen Xuewei...

Shen Xuewei, however, forcefully stuffed the money into her hand, saying, "Consider the rest as a reward for your hard work."

You can't expect the other person to bring you water and breakfast for free; you have to give them something in return.

Seeing that Shen Xuewei looked like she couldn't refuse, Xu Yue swallowed her words of refusal, thinking that at worst she could just bring Shen Xuewei two more eggs every day so that she could eat her fill.

My classmates are complaining that the food in the school cafeteria is absolutely awful...

She glanced at the money in her hand and then put it away.

Then, looking at Shen Xuewei, he joked, "You trust me so much that you dare to give me a month's worth of breakfast money? Aren't you afraid I'll take your money, not bring you breakfast, and just run away with the money?"

Shen Xuewei remained calm. "It's alright if he runs away. Just consider it a hundred yuan to see someone for who they really are, and it'll also be one less person bothering me."

She's now wealthy and powerful, no longer the elementary school student who painstakingly helped others with their homework for a penny or two.

Back in the day, she helped so many elementary school students with their homework.

Even if you add it all up, you don't even make a hundred dollars...

Times have changed, and now Shen Xuewei is no longer stingy with 100 yuan.

It's just a mere hundred yuan. If Xu Yuezhen runs away with the money, it'll be easier for her to come looking for her later, and she'll have less trouble.

Upon hearing Shen Xuewei's words, Xu Yue's smiling face became less happy.

"Don't give me that. You already promised me, you can't go back on your word."

Shen Xuewei shook her head, "I have no regrets now."

As for the future... she couldn't guarantee it. Maybe Xu Yue would find her boring and get tired of her bookish friend.

Xu Yue only heard Shen Xuewei say that she had no regrets, and a smile returned to her face.

In contrast, Shen Xuewei is somewhat ruthless, using and discarding things once she's done them.

"Is there anything else? If not, I'll go back to studying. I still have exam papers to finish."

Xu Yue sighed, "It's alright, it's alright, you can go back now."

Shen Xuewei nodded, picked up two thermos flasks, turned around and went back to the classroom, where she sat down in her seat.

Xu Yue glanced into the classroom before slowly returning to her own class.

Many classmates saw Shen Xuewei talking to Xu Yue outside. As soon as Xu Yue left, they immediately surrounded Shen Xuewei, gossiping:

"Shen Xuewei, didn't you say this morning that you didn't know her? Why did she come to see you this afternoon, and even brought you hot water from home?"

Shen Xuewei twirled her pen, looking at the exam paper in front of her without raising her head.

"We didn't know each other before, but we do now."

The answer was clearly perfunctory, and the group was not satisfied.

Just as she was about to ask again, Teacher Qin walked to the door with her hands behind her back. Seeing everyone gathered around Shen Xuewei, whose face showed a hint of impatience, she called out:

"What are you all doing surrounding Shen Xuewei? Can't you see she needs to study? I don't care if you don't study properly, just don't disturb the other students' learning..."

After being scolded by Teacher Qin, the group quickly returned to their seats.

Ms. Qin did not leave, but paced back and forth in the corridor, watching until the bell rang for class and the biology teacher came with the textbook. Only then did she walk towards the teachers' office.

For the next period of time, everyone could see Xu Yue bringing breakfast to Shen Xuewei every morning and hot water to Shen Xuewei at noon.

Except for the two days off on weekends, it happens every single day.

As time went on, some people jokingly said that Xu Yue, a perfectly good school beauty, gave up her job to be Shen Xuewei's free errand boy.

These words gradually reached Xu Yue's ears. Despite everyone's incomprehension and attempts to dissuade her, she continued to visit Shen Xuewei with great enthusiasm.

She knew that Shen Xuewei valued grades, so when she arrived outside Class 9's classroom, she would first observe Shen Xuewei's expression from outside.

If her face is slightly tense and she's frowning, you know that Shen Xuewei is struggling with the questions, and you absolutely shouldn't approach her at that moment.

If she has a serious expression and her pen is constantly twirling in her hand, it means she is thinking, and it's best not to disturb her.

If she appears relaxed and has a slight smile on her lips, it indicates that she is in a good mood, making it a good time to connect emotionally.

These are the conclusions Xu Yue reached after nearly half a month of observation and trial and error.

After figuring out the pattern, the relationship between the two progressed rapidly, from initially being one-sided on Xu Yue's part to now having Shen Xuewei occasionally share interesting stories with her.

Xu Yue focused all her attention on Shen Xuewei and gradually distanced herself from Lin Yuru, causing their relationship to cool to a freezing point.

Lin Yuru was her best friend; the two had known each other since childhood.

We went to and from school together, from elementary school to junior high, and then to high school, and this time we were even in the same class.

She thought that as long as she was good enough to Lin Yuru and accommodating enough, the two could be best friends for life.

However, after that incident, she was completely disappointed in Lin Yuru and decided that she would never have anything to do with her again.

They were in the same class, so they saw each other every day.

Xu Yue had never so desperately wanted the school to divide students into classes as soon as possible, and for this semester to end as soon as possible...

Seeing that her relationship with Xu Yue was coming to an end, Lin Yuru began to panic.

If she doesn't get along with Xu Yue, Liang Hua will never even look at her again. What should she do?

Is it true that if the girl from Class 9 ignores Xu Yue, her relationship with Xu Yue will go back to what it was before?

She wanted to talk to Shen Xuewei privately, but Shen Xuewei lived a monotonous life, and Xu Yue often went to see Shen Xuewei during breaks between classes.

She dared not be seen by Xu Yue, and thus never found an opportunity.

Finally, after waiting for several days, I found an opportunity on the day of the school's monthly campus cleanup.

Shen Xuewei was dragging a trash can toward the school's garbage dump when someone suddenly appeared and blocked her way.

She moved to the left, only to find that the person moved back and blocked her way again.

Shen Xuewei loosened her grip on the rope and finally looked directly at the person.

"I don't think we know each other, do we?"

Lin Yuru took a deep breath. "Shen Xuewei, let's talk."

This place is very close to the landfill, and the air is filled with all sorts of strange smells, which is very unpleasant.

Shen Xuewei felt sorry for her as she took that deep breath.

Students who come to throw away their trash quickly leave after dropping it off, and few people linger there.
