第8章 窮學生 8 可憐的窮學生
翌日,清晨。
Wu Lan drowsily turned off the vibrating alarm clock. She was so sleepy that she could hardly open her eyes and buried her head in the soft pillow again.
Ten minutes later, under 2720's urging, he finally got up reluctantly.
2720【You have an 8am class today, you have less than 20 minutes.】
The cold water finally woke up her drowsy head. After washing up, Wu Lan hurriedly changed out of her pajamas, packed her backpack and prepared to leave.
"Are you up so early today?"
Looking at Qin Qiuyun who was sitting in front of the computer early in the morning, Wu Lan curiously glanced at the other's computer screen, which was filled with densely packed English documents.
Considering that the other two roommates were still asleep, Wu Lan spoke softly, "We have to go to class early today. It's almost too late."
Afraid that Qin Qiulu would laugh at him for oversleeping, his face turned slightly red.
Distracted for a few seconds by the boy's pretty face, Qin Qiuluo saw Wu Lan putting on her shoes and picked up a bag of bread sticks. "Would you like some breakfast?"
"It's probably too late to go to the cafeteria at this time."
"No need~"
After Wu Lan put on her shoes and her backpack, she waved her hand and said, "Ji Li said he brought me breakfast. He's waiting for me downstairs."
As he said that, he said goodbye to Qin Qiuluo and turned to leave the dormitory.
The plastic bag containing the bread loaves made a few harsh noises. After Wu Lan left, Qin Qiuwei put away the smile on his face and looked a little gloomy.
As Wu Lan left, the other two roommates who were still in bed stood up one after another and looked at each other expressionlessly.
Their balcony just happened to offer a view of the dormitory entrance, but it seemed a bit crowded to accommodate three people at the same time.
They narrowed their eyes as they silently watched the familiar slender figure walk towards a tall young man.
The young man took the backpack very smoothly and touched the boy's head.
“Tsk.”
Someone let out a soft "tsk" sound, and their gaze followed the two people below as they walked away.
"That's Ji Li? What's his background?"
Qin Qiuhui glanced at Hao Yuqin, whose face had turned gloomy, and was a little surprised that the other person's expression was a bit ugly.
He explained calmly, "He is Xiaolan's classmate and the youngest son of the Ji family."
Staring intently at Ji Li's big hand that was deliberately holding the boy's shoulder, Hao Yuqin's expression was like a goddess offended by a stinky dog. His handsome face turned green and smelly: "Why haven't I heard of him before?"
"You've been abroad before, so it's normal that you haven't heard of it."
As he spoke, Qin Qiuluo suddenly remembered something and twitched his lips: "That kid plays basketball pretty well. He even beat Yan Gui last time."
"What?!"
Hao Yuqin looked at Yan Gui's expressionless face in surprise, thinking he had misheard.
Yan Gui withdrew his gaze, as if he had not heard the conversation between the two, and turned back to the dormitory.
However, his gradually darkening eyes and clenched fists did not show that he was as calm as he appeared.
*
Wu Lan didn't know that the three roommates were watching her from afar.
Ji Li pulled him to the classroom, and he entered the classroom a few minutes earlier, even leaving a little time for him to have breakfast.
Wu Lan took a bite of the warm bun and was about to swallow it when a box of pure milk was suddenly handed to her.
"Please, I'll treat you to a drink."
While Ji Li was out answering the phone, the monitor took advantage of the time and took out another sandwich from his bag, despite the resentful gazes of other classmates.
"This one's for you too. Do you like sandwiches?"
Wu Lan blinked, not understanding why the other party gave him a sandwich.
Today, it was not only Class Leader Jiang Xing who brought breakfast for Wu Lan. Almost everyone else brought a bottle of milk in their bag, just to give it to Wu Lan.
But President Ji Li put on a defensive and overbearing attitude, causing those people to not dare to step forward.
Seeing the ferocious Ji Li about to come over, Jiang Xingxing didn't have time to say anything and shrank back in the blink of an eye.
"Where's the milk and sandwiches?"
Wu Lan noticed Jiang Xing's agile movements, like a mouse playing hide-and-seek, and subconsciously said, "A kind person gave it to me."
"Kindhearted person?"
Ji Li raised his eyebrows, picked up the thing and looked at it carefully, "Don't eat things given by strangers, it's not safe."
"I know, but I think these things should be fine."
As he spoke, Wu Lan poked a hole in the milk carton and started slurping.
Yin's pink little mouth held the straw, her lips slightly pouting as the white liquid flowed through the transparent straw into her mouth. As she swallowed, her small and delicate Adam's apple rolled up and down.
He sucked twice and stopped, pressing his lips against the straw. The milky white milk wet the flesh of his lower lip, which he licked, then held the mouth of the straw with his soft, scarlet flesh.
Wu Lan sucked too much milk at once, and her cheeks bulged. She tried hard to hold the fragrant milk in her mouth and then swallowed it slowly.
Everyone's eyes were on him, but Wu Lan didn't feel a thing and was still concentrating on drinking his milk.
Suddenly, the milk was taken away.
Ji Li put away the milk with an unnatural look on his face, swallowed his suddenly dry throat, and explained in a low voice: "The teacher is here, let's drink it after class."
Wu Lan nodded obediently.
Today's classes were all concentrated in the morning. After finally making it to the end of get out of class, Wu Lan followed the crowd towards the cafeteria, and Ji Li continued to help him carry his backpack.
Passing the flower bed, Wu Lan paused.
[Beep! Mission: Ever since your family went bankrupt, you've become jealous of the children of wealthy families, secretly tripping them up and teasing them to satisfy your twisted heart. Host, please do one bad thing to each of Ji Li, Yan Gui, Hao Yuqin, and Qin Qiuyu, to tease them.]
As they walked, Wu Lan asked 2720, "What kind of things are considered bad things?"
2720 thought for a moment and cautiously answered, "For example, embarrass them in public."
Wu Lan nodded, not quite understanding. Because she was thinking about something, she was not paying attention while eating lunch and some rice grains got to her mouth.
Ji Li had already set his eyes on that grain of rice.
Seeing Wu Lan in a daze, he slowly reached out, rubbed her soft lips with his fingertips, and wiped away the rice grains.
Wu Lan was still staring blankly with her eyes downcast.
He didn't notice how Ji Li dealt with the grain of rice. He was racking his brains to think of what bad thing to do to Ji Li.
After lunch, Wu Lan was sent back to the dormitory by Ji Li.
Wu Lan had just walked a few steps out of the cafeteria when she suddenly stopped, pointed at her ankle and said it hurt.
"Did you twist it?"
Remembering that someone had been passing by Wu Lan pretending to be casual, Ji Li frowned and squatted down to check with a serious expression.
The white socks blocked his view. He was about to take them off, but Wu Lan dodged him with a blushing face.
"Be good, let me see."
The big hand touched the well-proportioned white calf, slowly slid down, and took off Wu Lan's shoes in one go.
They were not far from the cafeteria, and students were constantly coming and going on the tree-lined road. Seeing Ji Li touching his feet without any hesitation, the blush on Wu Lan's face deepened.
The big palm grasped the small foot and pulled the socks halfway off, but there was no trace of red at the ankle.
Originally, Wu Lan just wanted to use the excuse of a sore foot to ask Ji Li to carry him back in public to embarrass him.
Unexpectedly, Ji Li examined him on the spot.
Wu Lan felt extremely guilty after his lie was exposed. He wanted to pull his foot back, but Ji Li held it tightly.
There were many eyes on her from all around, Wu Lan's face turned red and white, and her fists were trembling slightly with shame.
Anxious to break free from the shackles, he held Ji Li's shoulder with one hand and kicked randomly, accidentally stepping on Ji Li's face.
A soft touch with a fragrance hit Ji Li in the face, and he was stunned.
His subconscious action was not to hide or to be angry, but to move his face forward so that Wu Lan could step more firmly.
The fragrance lingering in his nose made him dizzy, and he stared at the small, snow-white feet in front of him with his eyes wide open.
More and more people were looking at them.
Wu Lan's face turned as red as a tomato, and the temperature on her face was so hot that she almost fainted.
"I, I feel a little dizzy..."
He didn't care whether the mission was completed or not, he just wanted to put his shoes back on quickly and hide in a deserted corner.
Suddenly, Wu Lan's eyes blurred, and the next second he found himself being carried on his back.
Ji Li held his butt with one hand and held his shoes with the other.
The warm body temperature in the palm of her hand could be felt even through her pants. Wu Lan subconsciously climbed up, and almost her entire body was hanging on Ji Li.
The person was obviously as thin as a bean sprout and didn't weigh much when carried on his back, but he felt soft all over.
The snow-white leg flesh was squeezed, the soft belly was pressed against Ji Li's back, and the two thin arms were wrapped around Ji Li's neck.
With his head resting on Ji Li's shoulder, the warmth from the little boy and the sweet scent he exhaled made Ji Li stiffen all over and the muscles in his arms tense.
"Xiao Lan, stop rubbing against me."
A hoarse and unnatural voice came out of Ji Li's mouth. He suppressed his disordered breath and coaxed her softly: "I will carry you back to the dormitory now. You may have heatstroke."
The temperature was very high at noon, and Wu Lan's small body with thin arms and legs was probably caused by dizziness due to exposure to the sun.
Ji Li didn't stop and strode towards Wu Lan's dormitory.
*
Along the way, the two of them attracted a lot of attention.
When Wu Lan was about to walk downstairs to the dormitory building, she heard the system's announcement.
[Beep! Stepping on Ji Li's face in public, successfully humiliating him. Mission completed (1/4); Host, please keep up the good work!]
Although the process was different from what Wu Lan had imagined, she managed to complete Ji Li's task by accident.
Wu Lan felt it was unreal that the task was completed so easily.
Seeing that they had returned to the dormitory building, he wanted to ask Ji Li to put it down, but was interrupted by a voice from behind.
"Wu Lan?"
Ji Li recognized the voice of the person coming and looked at Yan Gui walking towards them, narrowing his eyes vigilantly.
Seeing Ji Li take half a step back, Yan Gui stopped and looked past Ji Li at the young man lying on top of him.
He asked coldly, "What happened to Wu Lan?"
Ji Li ignored him. He wanted to carry the person into the dormitory building, but he forgot that he needed to swipe a special access card to enter and exit the dormitory.
"Xiao Lan might have heatstroke."
Yan Gui frowned: "Give him to me, I will take him back."
Ji Li's expression turned grim when he heard this. While he was thinking, Wu Lan was snatched away by Yan Gui, and even her shoes were taken away.
Ji Li wanted to snatch it back, but considering that Wu Lan was suffering from heatstroke, he had to grit his teeth and suppress his dissatisfaction, watching Yan Gui carry the person in.
Wu Lan was pretending to be unconscious.
Feeling himself being carried into the dormitory building, he immediately rubbed his eyes and pretended to wake up.
When I opened my eyes, they were already standing in the elevator.
There are only two of them here.
The princess hug posture limited Wu Lan's vision.
Looking at Yan Gui's stern and serious face, he immediately recalled their contact on the night of the power outage.
At that time, there were only the two of them, and all around was quiet, with only the thumping of their hearts.
Same as now.
"I'm fine now, can you let me down?"
Wu Lan gently pushed Yan Gui, but Yan Gui remained unmoved, his eyes fixed on the elevator display screen.
"Yan Gui, I..."
Yan Gui finally spoke, his tone steady: "Your body is very hot, most likely you have heatstroke."
After being interrupted, Wu Lan pursed his lips and stopped talking. He didn't speak again until he returned to the dormitory:
"Thank you."
Sitting on the chair, Wu Lan covered her cheeks with her hands. The temperature was indeed a bit hot, but it should not be caused by heatstroke.
He secretly glanced at Yan Gui, who was pouring water with his back turned. He tugged at 2720 and whispered, "Is there something wrong with the character introduction?"
[I feel that Yan Gui is not a very cold person. He has a good heart.]
2720 responded seriously, "The system will not make mistakes."
[But I will report Yan Gui's unusual behavior to the main system, and it may need to be fixed.]
"I made you some honey water, drink some."
Wu Lan took the cup with both hands and took a small sip. It was just the right temperature.
He thanked Yan Gui again with a smile on his face, and quickly drank up the honey water.
Maybe she was really thirsty, or maybe she suddenly wanted to eat something sweet, Wu Lan licked her lips, and her black eyes rolled around.
Suddenly, he discovered something and his eyes lit up.
"Yan Gui, did you wash your hands just now?"
"I washed my hands before rinsing them with honey water."
"oh."
Wu Lan swallowed her saliva, and she didn't know where she got the courage to pull Yan Gui's hand. She pointed at the tip of his index finger and said like a little detective, "You have honey on you."
He blinked his eyes and tilted his head back with a little anticipation:
"Do you need me to clean you up?"
