Chapter 51 I'll Pay Double
Because she had a nightmare all night, Xu Jiajia woke up feeling very unwell the next day. Zhou Zhipeng immediately surrounded her to express his concern.
"Jiajia, what's wrong? You look so pale. Are you feeling unwell? I'll take you to the hospital!" Zhou Zhipeng kept talking non-stop, not giving Xu Jiajia a chance to speak.
However, Xu Jiajia was not angry. In her dreams, Zhou Zhipeng was always the one who gave her warmth. She knew his feelings for her, but she could only let him down.
Xu Jiajia suddenly felt that she was not good enough for Zhou Zhipeng. Thinking about how stupid she was in her dream, she not only made herself miserable, but also made the person who loved her suffer.
Thinking of all this, Xu Jiajia couldn't hold back her tears, which streamed down her face in large drops.
Zhou Zhipeng was terrified. He hadn't seen Xu Jiajia cry so hard in a long time since he grew up. He wanted to hug her and comfort her, but he knew he couldn't, so he paced around anxiously.
"Jiajia, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell or did someone bully you? Tell me~" Zhou Zhipeng could only offer words of comfort.
Xu Jiajia's commotion startled Ning Xuan and Lu Xun, who quickly came out of the room.
Seeing Xu Jiajia crying without saying a word, Zhou Zhipeng anxiously comforted her. Ning Xuan and Lu Xun looked puzzled, wondering what had happened, but they also went over to check on Xu Jiajia.
Xu Jiajia was immersed in her emotions and cried for several minutes. After crying out the inexplicable grievances in her heart, she felt much better. When she looked up, she saw that everyone was surrounding her, and she suddenly felt embarrassed.
"I... I just had a nightmare yesterday, and I couldn't help crying just now. I'm fine, don't worry." After saying that, Xu Jiajia felt too embarrassed and ran back to her room. Zhou Zhipeng wanted to chase after her, but Lu Xun stopped him.
"Okay, let her calm down first. Maybe it really was a dream. Also, she's worried about things at home lately, so she's probably under a lot of pressure."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhipeng became even more worried about Xu Jiajia, but he also knew that Lu Xun was right, so he could only stop walking.
But he was still worried, so he waited in the yard so that if Xu Jiajia looked for him, he could appear in front of her immediately.
Looking at Zhou Zhipeng's innocent and pure-hearted appearance, Ning Xuan sighed inwardly, "He's truly a warrior of pure love, giving selflessly without expecting anything in return."
It's a pity he's just a supporting male character; the official male lead has already appeared. It seems Zhou Zhipeng is going to suffer a lot from now on.
Then she glanced at Lu Xun again. Oh, and there's another one being tortured.
However, she was no longer sure. During their time together, she hadn't really seen any romantic feelings Lu Xun had for Xu Jiajia, but he had indeed taken good care of her.
Or perhaps Lu Xun was simply more thoughtful than Zhou Zhipeng, who was more outgoing.
Anyway, she's not the original owner of this body, and she won't do anything mindless just because she's in love.
However, Ning Xuan did not expect that, despite not wanting to get involved in gossip, trouble still found her.
The next morning.
Looking at He Qiaofang, who had an expression that said "It's an honor for you to have found me," Ning Xuan felt as if a flock of black crows were flying overhead.
“I know you built the house with your own money, and I won’t take advantage of you. I’ll pay double the price to buy it, and then you can go back to the educated youth dormitory.” He Qiaofang said to Ning Xuan in a commanding tone.
Ning Xuan was speechless. "Sorry, I'm not selling!"
When He Qiaofang heard that Ning Xuan had refused, she was shocked. She had offered double the price. Was Ning Xuan trying to make an exorbitant demand?
“I’ll double it again, you’ve made a lot of money, be content.” He Qiaofang held up her index finger and gestured “1”.
Ning Xuan shook her head again, "I said I won't sell."
Upon hearing "selling," He Qiaofang assumed she understood the other party's implication, so she changed her tune and said, "Oh, I see. You can't buy and sell privately, right? Can I trade with you?"
Ning Xuan completely lost her patience. "I'm not selling or exchanging. I'm staying here. If you want to live here by yourself, go find the brigade leader. You have money, build whatever you want. It's none of my business!"
Without waiting for He Qiaofang's reaction, he gently pushed her out of the courtyard gate with one finger and closed the gate.
What bad luck! She thought it was something serious, but it turns out it was just that the brainless, arrogant young lady acting crazy.
It wasn't until the courtyard gate was actually closed that He Qiaofang realized she had not only been rejected but also kicked out. How dare she?
Actually, He Qiaofang wasn't completely brainless. During her self-introduction yesterday, she observed that among Ning Xuan and the others, Lu Xun seemed unapproachable, and Xu Jiajia appeared to come from a decent family, but she disliked her and didn't want to associate with her.
He Qiaofang's thinking was actually quite simple. She felt that Ning Xuan looked like the easiest to bully, and that her family must be poor.
Her plan was to buy Ning Xuan and the big, silly guy's room, and then she and Gu Yunze would each have a room. As for Xu Jiajia, she didn't want to give her money so easily, so she wanted to use other means to send her back to the educated youth compound.
It would be best to get rid of Lu Xun as well, so that she and Gu Yunze could stay together in the courtyard like a married couple. Just thinking about it makes me happy.
He Qiaofang never expected that the persimmon she had specially chosen would turn out to be a tough nut to crack.
However, she was not discouraged and planned to find that big, simple-minded guy. As long as he moved in, she would definitely send those two women back to the educated youth compound. She was very familiar with this kind of thing. Girls who tried to get close to Gu Yunze in the past were all driven away by her in various ways.
He Qiaofang was full of confidence, and she was sure that this time would be the same; Yunze could only have her as the only girl by his side!
Coincidentally, Zhou Zhipeng and Lu Xun had just returned from outside and saw He Qiaofang at the entrance of the courtyard, but they did not take the initiative to greet her.
He Qiaofang was furious, feeling that the two people were really rude, but seeing that they really didn't intend to pay attention to her, He Qiaofang had no choice but to take the initiative to speak.
"Um, you're surnamed Zhou, right? I need to talk to you about something."
When Zhou Zhipeng heard that the other party wanted to see him, he immediately became vigilant. Without thinking, he said, "I'm sorry, please ask the educated youth team leader to help you pass on any message. Don't come to me alone, so as to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings!"
As he spoke, he took a few steps back, widening the distance between himself and He Qiaofang.
He Qiaofang was so angry that her face twisted. What an ungrateful jerk! She, a delicate girl, took the initiative to approach him and was rejected. She hadn't even said what she wanted to say yet.
What's even more outrageous is that Zhou Zhipeng didn't wait for He Qiaofang's reply before pulling Lu Xun back to the courtyard. He immediately closed the door, looking as if he was afraid of being clung to by He Qiaofang, which was particularly funny.
He Qiaofang was even angrier. She went to Gu Yunze with a wronged expression and said, "Brother Yunze, they're all bullying me!"
