Dengxin blushed and replied: No way! Why are you so rude?

Nanqi: cut.

The person on the other end of the phone had a face as red as a monkey's bottom, and was typing rapidly: We just kissed, nothing else.

Nanqi: I don't believe you.

Nanqi: Okay, let's change the subject.

Nanqi: Do you know Yu Zhan?

The wick paused, and after a long while, it typed out: What?

Nanqi: Nothing much, I just saw your contact information on his phone.

Nan Yu: Oh, my husband and I sponsored a student, it's him. What a coincidence, you ran into so many students? Or was he being bullied again?

Nanqi found the phrase "my husband and I" utterly offensive and frowned in disgust. Then she caught the phrase "being bullied again," and her previously slightly furrowed brows suddenly widened to the point of being able to trap flies.

Nanqi: What? You've been bullied again? How much money do you sponsor him each month?

Oh, judging from your tone, you didn't seem to have been bullied.

Nan Yu: 5k. He was bullied in the bathroom by a red-haired guy and a few yellow-haired guys. I happened to have a stomachache and saw it. Then my husband looked up his family background and found him to be pitiful, so he stood up for him.

5k should be enough according to the prices in the small town, so why would he eat white rice for every meal and not rest at night, instead of working part-time at a hotel?

Nan Yu: Is someone else bullying him?

Nan Yu: Brother, he's so pitiful. He has many younger brothers and sisters, and he almost had to drop out of school. His father had brain hemorrhage surgery a few days ago. Sigh.

Nan Yu: Why don't you also give him some financial assistance?

Nanqi: He has hands and feet, why should I sponsor him?

He didn't know what he was being sarcastic about, but he just felt unhappy.

Nan Yu: You're such a cheapskate. Anyway, my husband sends him money every month, so it should be enough for him.

Nan Qi didn't reply. He hired a detective to investigate himself. The money was more, and the investigation was quick. The information arrived on his phone that night. This school board member is really something. With his underling around, he puts on a good show.

Once they leave, the promised economic compensation keeps getting 'approved' but it's still not coming through. This is personal compensation, so what kind of approval is needed?

It's simply because their backer has left, and they don't want to give it up.

Take a picture of the address, shred the rest of the documents, and Yu Zhan will rest tonight. The next morning, Nan Qi sent him a message: Are you up yet? I'll be waiting for you in the cafeteria on the first floor.

Yu Zhan woke up; he had class later.

Not wanting to have too much contact with Nanqi, I didn't reply to him.

Yu Zhan's roommate was in a bad mood early in the morning, throwing things around and shoving them at his feet. Yu Zhan, who is usually very patient, quietly packed up his books and prepared to find a good spot early.

Just as he was about to leave, his roommate stopped him. The roommate's cold spit splashed onto his nose. Yu Zhan tightened his grip on the book and picked up his notebook to write: Is there something wrong?

Roommate: "Is that person your friend?"

Yu Zhan paused for a moment: I guess so.

He didn't know if it counted.

Roommate: "What do you mean 'I guess so'? Take out your phone."

Yu Zhan: Why?

Roommate: "Take it out."

Yu Zhan: I'm going to the classroom.

After saying that, he picked up the book and was about to leave, not wanting to take out his phone.

The roommate blocked the door tightly, and with a forced smile, reached out to the boy, "Don't be so stingy. We see each other all the time. I'm just taking a look, I won't rummage through anything. If you don't agree, we'll just stay like this."

Yu Zhan didn't have time to waste. Seeing the other party's tough attitude, he had no choice but to take out his phone. There was nothing on his phone, and even less money.

My roommate opened WeChat.

Jealousy distorted him beyond recognition.

I sent him so many messages last night, but he didn't reply to a single one.

Should we invite Yu Zhan to breakfast now?

What's most infuriating is that Yu Zhan read it, but he didn't reply.

The disappointment made her roommate unhappy. She tossed her phone to Yu Zhan and asked, "Don't you want to go?"

Yu Zhan caught his phone without saying a word, walked past his roommate, who didn't stop him this time. Staring at the boy's departing figure, his roommate let out a cold laugh. He went to the appointment in Yu Zhan's place.

Nanqi's appearance is eye-catching, making it easy to find.

After getting his food, Nanqi sat down opposite him. He recognized the man—Yu Zhan's roommate. Looking around, his roommate laughed, "Stop looking. He asked me to have breakfast with you. Handsome, you're so heartless! I sent you so many messages last night, why didn't you reply to a single one?"

Nan Qi narrowed his eyes, instantly losing his appetite. "I don't like being bothered. Sorry, you can eat by yourself."

He left after saying that.

When his friend tried to be friendly but was met with indifference, his face immediately fell. He tightened his grip on the chopsticks and snapped them in two, staring at the receding figure with a gloomy look in his eyes.

Nan Qi had investigated Yu Zhan, including which day and which class he attended. After searching the building for a while, he found the classroom and approached with a smile. Yu Zhan was startled and immediately lowered his head.

It seemed that this way, Nanqi wouldn't be able to find out.

Nanqi was not to his liking. He sat down next to Yu Zhan, with two eggs tucked in his pocket.

The boy, who had been looking down, paused slightly when he saw the food.

Nanqi: "You can't skip breakfast, so I brought you two eggs to tide you over."

Yu Zhan's eyes reddened, and he dared not move his hand. His heart was already overflowing with emotion. He had rarely tasted the feeling of being favored. Bringing him breakfast was something he had never done before. He had always been a loner and had no friends. If Nan Qi continued to do this, regardless of gender, he would really fall for her.

The boy refused to take it, so he took the eggs back.

The eggshells were peeled.

If you force-feed someone by stuffing their food into their mouth, they won't feel embarrassed.

Yu Zhan wanted to refuse, but the other person stuffed the food into his mouth so quickly and urgently. Besides, it was already in his mouth, so he couldn't just spit it out and waste the food. He could only eat it with his ears turning red.

The moment I swallowed it, I caught a glimpse of the other person smiling.

My heart has truly been moved.

Yu Zhan panicked and hastily flipped through the book, not daring to look at Nan Qi again.

Nanqi accompanied him to class. At lunchtime, Yu Zhan tried to run away but was dragged to eat spicy hot pot. They ordered it slightly spicy to cater to the boy's taste. After eating, they took him to the hotel to rest.

Yu Zhan was nervous and typed: I, I'm going back.

Nanqi: "With so many people in the dorm, how can you sleep when you go back? If you don't rest well at noon, you won't have any energy in the afternoon, and you have to come to work at night. If you don't want to die suddenly, just stay here and sleep."

There are two rooms, and I'm not forcing him to sleep with me, so what's there to be embarrassed about?

Yu Zhan couldn't persuade anyone, so she could only lie down obediently. Nan Qi went to the living room, intending to play some games, but afraid of disturbing others, so he took out his tablet to draw.

Yu Zhan was in class in the afternoon, and he fell asleep.

At 8 PM, I went outside and ordered three extra-large portions of pan-fried dumplings and buns. I brought one to the front desk, one to Yu Zhan, and one for myself.

The young woman was surprised, but the rules state that eating is not allowed during working hours, and the girls didn't eat.

Yu Zhan, with her temperament, would definitely not eat it.

I didn't dare touch it, for fear of making a mistake and being caught red-handed and fired.

Nan Qi frowned, went outside, and made a phone call.

We strolled around for a while before going inside.

Soon the front desk received a call from the manager, who said they couldn't do it openly. He told them to buy some late-night snacks, saying that they had worked hard at night and this was a small treat to reward themselves, which they could eat when there were no customers.

The receptionist was surprised, and Yu Zhan also felt it was quite a coincidence.

He stared at the food and swallowed hard.

When Nanqi returned, the girl made the first move, smiling and saying, "Then I won't be polite."
