Chapter 36: Gifts and Exchanges "Give me your bank account number..."
"Give me your bank account number!"
Lin Xicai suddenly ran over and grabbed his sleeve, looking at him with a smile in her bright eyes.
He stared at the face, his tone completely different from the look in his eyes: "What are you doing?"
Lin Xicai's eyes curved, and without hesitation, she said, "Let's split it equally."
Xie Shi pursed his lips, seemingly uninterested in her proposal: "If you think the money is too much, just donate it."
"..." Lin Xicai was choked. You took my kindness for granted, didn't you? Did you really think I wouldn't dare to keep it all for myself?
Lin Xicai was so happy that she was going crazy, but her thoughts came back to her senses a little. Even if she was slow-witted, she could guess that this was no coincidence.
She suddenly remembered the first monthly exam. After she had planned to ask the original owner's followers for money, he stood at the cafeteria door and said something ambiguous: "Do you really need money?"
So he knew she needed money, so he chose this method and gave her half a million yuan as easily as picking peaches.
Control time and predict lottery numbers...
Lin Xicai suddenly felt possessed by Silang and wanted to shout, "Huanhuan, do you have any other surprises that I don't know about?"
Lin Xicai looked at his deskmate again, his eyes became much more sticky. Who said this deskmate was weird? This deskmate was awesome.
This man was powerful, mysterious, and unfathomable. Most importantly, he didn't seem to hate her and even helped her time and again.
He could easily get 500,000 from this world and give it to her. With his energy, he could definitely do more than just 500,000.
Being poor does not mean that he can only live a poor life, but that he chooses to live a poor life.
Lin Xicai suddenly began to doubt her life. Is this really a serious campus romance novel?
Aren't these bizarre superpowers part of the hero's character? So what kind of script is this thing she's wearing? It's not called "The Domineering Superpower Loves You"?
Xie Shi, who was standing by, seemed to be choked by his saliva and started coughing violently, looking at her as if she were a weirdo.
He frowned. Lin Xicai saw that this was a sign of his poisonous mouth, so she hurriedly interrupted him, lowering her voice to change the subject, "You knew you'd win the lottery, half a million, and you just gave me the lottery ticket without saying anything. Aren't you afraid that I'll accidentally lose it? Or get it damaged while washing my schoolbag?"
When Lin Xicai asked this question, she actually figured out the answer.
Why dare you be so casual?
Because he wasn't afraid of losing her.
Even if she missed this issue, he would be able to take her to buy another one in a minute. Even the amount could be bigger than the current one.
Lin Xicai answered herself in her heart, but Xie Shi was just pretending to be ignorant.
"I didn't know I'd win." Xie Shi put his hands in his pockets and gave her a very indifferent look. "If you really lost it or washed it, you'd be unlucky. But I'll still tell you when the prize is announced. Your expression will definitely be more exciting than if you won the prize."
Lin Xicai: “…”
It seemed that Xie Shi was willing to go out that day just for this matter. When the mission was over, he was ready to evacuate. He did not agree to any of Lin Xicai's invitations to dinner or milk tea.
Of course, in the end he ignored her suggestion of splitting the stolen money equally. He was very determined and steadfast. Although he was penniless, he regarded money as dirt.
Lin Xicai went back and told the original owner's mother the good news. Zhong Ping naturally didn't believe it at first, until she laid out the bank card balance receipts one by one, then Zhong Ping opened her eyes wide with an expression of unbelievable surprise.
This matter was indeed a bit strange. Lin Xicai just said that it might be because she had been too unlucky recently, and now she had finally gotten a chance to improve. Zhong Ping touched her head and comforted her by saying that she was blessed and that she had benefited from her good fortune.
Lin Xicai was stunned for a moment, and thinking of her fake identity, she couldn't help feeling guilty and bitter. Lin Xicai spoke very logically and quickly arranged the following matters in order. First, she informed Zhong Ping not to tell anyone else about this matter to avoid unnecessary trouble. Secondly, the bulk of the money was transferred to Zhong Ping's account for her mother's household expenses, and the remaining small portion remained in her own account.
Zhong Ping had no objection and smiled, saying, "It's fine whatever you want. If you want me to save it for you, I will save it for you. Anyway, you are my only daughter, so everything is yours."
The sour feeling made her feel ashamed. Lin Xicai felt like a thief and buried her face in the woman's arms in an escapist manner.
…
The next day, a new week and a new beginning. Because of the 500,000 filters, when Lin Xicai saw Xie Shi in the classroom again, she couldn't help but look at him with respect as if he were the God of Wealth.
Her eyes were too frank, and because of their frankness, they seemed a bit straightforward. Xie Shi didn't say anything yet, but Lu Zixin behind her was the first to get goose bumps from her eyes.
Lu Zixin looked at Zhu Hongfei with a gossipy expression - why did Zhong Fei look at him like that?
Zhu Hongfei looked profound and shook his head mysteriously at him. "Hush, young man. Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask."
If the look was just an appetizer, then Zhong Fei's next action was like a full course for them. Most of the people in the classroom had already arrived. Under everyone's watchful eyes, they saw Zhong Fei take out two exquisitely packaged sandwiches from his backpack, put one on his desk, and handed the other one to Xie Shi naturally.
What’s even more terrible is that that cold weirdo actually accepted it?
There were astonished, gossipy and mischievous looks from all around, one after another.
But those two people seemed to have their own magnetic field, shielding everyone else without them having to do anything.
Lin Xicai sat down in her seat, stuffed her schoolbag into the drawer, tore open the sandwich and started eating - why did she bring one specifically for her deskmate? Lin Xicai thought it was a little bit of reciprocity.
Lin Xicai said domineeringly that since the male protagonist didn't want the money, she would take care of his breakfast from now on.
According to the settings of many romance novels, nine out of ten male protagonists will have stomach problems when they grow up. So she will let her deskmate be the one-tenth!
Xie Shi: “…”
Xie Shi gave her an ambiguous look and slowly tore open the complicatedly wrapped sandwich.
Under Lin Xicai's expectant gaze, Xie Shi took a bite and put it down again: "Is this the only thing you eat?"
There was nothing provocative in his tone, just strangely earnest, as if he seriously didn't understand why she was so happy eating pig food.
Lin Xicai was irritated by his eyes and almost choked. She was half helpless and half annoyed: "Hey, I brought you breakfast out of kindness, and you still despise it?"
Originally thought that this was just another small incident where good intentions were taken for granted, but the next morning, when the two met by chance at the school gate, Xie Shi directly stuffed a sandwich into her arms.
The packaging is simple but the color is attractive.
He didn't say anything, but Lin Xicai understood his intention: he was picky about her "pig food" yesterday, so today he wanted to let her see what "fine bran" is.
Lin Xicai took the big sandwich in a daze, looking speechless.
First of all, I think he is childish, and his desire to win comes from an inexplicable place.
Secondly, I don’t believe it - if what I bought doesn’t taste good, then what you bought will taste good?
Lin Xicai returned to the classroom, tore open the package, and took a big bite in front of Xie Shi.
Then--
A pair of big eyes sparkled slightly.
Uh...it does seem to taste better than what she bought yesterday.
Lin Xicai took a few more bites and found it was much more delicious.
Lin Xicai looked at him and said, "You win, you win, okay?"
Xie Shi showed no expression at the moment, but for many days thereafter, he began to bring her breakfast without fail.
Most of the time it was the sandwich she had praised, but sometimes she would change it up with something like a pie or a steamed bun, and they were all delicious without exception.
Lin Xicai was naturally happy while eating, but it was okay for a day or two, and he seemed to be developing this behavior into a habit.
In the past, he would occasionally be absent from work every week, but since he started bringing her breakfast, he has been attending classes every day!
Lin Xicai didn't consider herself a shy person, but she felt a little embarrassed at the moment: "...I brought you breakfast in the beginning to express my gratitude, but in the end you brought it to me. How about this, you send me the name of the store and I'll buy it for both of us."
"You're not on the way," he said.
So that's it. This is very possible. Lin Xicai didn't doubt it and further suggested: "Then you buy it and I'll pay for it. I can't take all the advantages..."
"You're so nagging." he said.
“…”
Lin Xicai shut up.
Yes, he is not short of money. As long as he wants, he can get 500,000 or 5 million in minutes.
After Lin Xicai got there, she completely got rid of her psychological burden. She would eat whatever was given to her, and sometimes she would even order dishes remotely. Sometimes her deskmate would still say she was nagging, but the final result was always what she wanted.
After that, he brought her breakfast, which almost became a habit for the two of them.
Lin Xicai's taste buds became spoiled by being fed day after day. Occasionally, when Xie Shi was not around, she would go to buy something else for breakfast, and she would instantly feel the gap between luxury and frugality.
The students in the class were shocked and bewildered at first, but later became forced to be immune to such a scene. They could only sigh that this former top student in the grade was indeed no ordinary person.
This evil god had been assigned a deskmate before, but no deskmate could sit next to him for a whole week. He was like an emotionless black hole, and almost no normal person could tolerate him. Zhong Fei was the only exception.
They originally thought that Zhong Fei had resorted to some trickery, that she was secretly trying to please and curry favor with him, but they soon discovered that the facts were very different from their imagination - anyone could see that between the two of them, it was clearly that person who was more proactive.
I don’t know when it started, but wherever Zhong Fei is, there is that person.
That man's gaze was like a chain, firmly binding her to his territory.
Silent, irresistible, and subtle.
The danger comes too quietly.
So much so that even the person involved didn't notice it.
…
Lin Xicai has been in a good mood recently.
In addition to improving academic performance and getting along better and better with my crazy deskmate, the most important thing is that that annoying troublemaker has become much more docile than before.
She still brought him food every night. Every time she went in, he was sitting quietly on the sofa with his head down, sometimes picking at his fingers, sometimes grabbing at the corners of his clothes, as if he had been sitting there for a long time, eagerly waiting for her to come.
Only when he saw her did his gradually numb and dull eyes show some lifelike spirit.
Maybe he was too bored, or maybe he really realized that he couldn't leave the house, so he put all the things he had thrown around and smashed in the house back in their places one by one, and he even learned to sweep the floor by himself.
He seemed very afraid of her, afraid that she would throw him into the darkness again, and he became tense and cautious.
In the past, he would knock the food she brought to the ground and scold her for daring to give him leftovers. Now, after quietly eating, he would sometimes even compliment the food against his will and say it was delicious.
In the past, he would look at her fiercely and try to attack her at every opportunity, but now he would carefully observe her expression, and when he found that she was not in a good mood that day, he would even stammer and ask what was wrong, revealing an expression of concern that should not appear on her face.
As if... trying to please her.
Yes. To please.
