The Cannon Fodder Who Received Donated Hearts 2 Midnight Mwah!
Chen Xia sat at her desk organizing her final exam review notes. With the original owner of this excellent student as a role model, Chen Xia dared not slack off.
After all, the amount of national scholarships each semester is quite substantial. She doesn't participate in many activities, so her only bargaining chip for winning the national scholarship is her final exam score. Her goal is to be number one in the entire college.
Marlene pushed open the door and came in, holding a Fuji apple she'd somehow gotten her hands on, which she was crunching on. Leaning against the bed, her eyes scanned Chen Xia's light blue cotton dress.
"Xiaxia, you've been wearing this dress for two years, haven't you? It's time to get a new one."
Yan Rui, who was wearing a face mask, chimed in, "Linlin and I have made plans to go shopping on the pedestrian street this week. Why don't you come with us? A lot of shops are having sales right now, so we can buy a few dresses to wear in rotation."
You said the boss gave you a raise this month! Treat yourself, don't make yourself look like an ascetic. If you don't have enough money, I can lend you some.
Chen Xia smiled and said, "Thank you, but no need. The shop is quite busy on Saturdays, so it's not convenient to take time off. This dress is quite comfortable to wear, and I don't plan to change it for the time being."
Marlene carefully tossed the apple core into the trash can after finishing the apple: "I have to say, you're really good at managing your finances."
She started counting on her fingers: "You don't buy clothes, you don't eat takeout, you can't even afford a bottle of soda... All you do is go to class and work. You get such a high scholarship every semester, why do you push yourself so hard?"
Chen Xia smiled. She didn't buy clothes because the clothes in her space ranged from all price points, and she couldn't possibly wear them all. She preferred making her own to buying clothes.
She doesn't eat takeout because it's not as good as Ling Yi's cooking. Now she basically doesn't go to restaurants anymore, but instead rides her bicycle to eat at shops outside the school.
She didn't drink beverages because her water cup contained boiled spiritual spring water and freshly squeezed fruit juice from her spatial dimension.
But I couldn't tell the truth, so I had to come up with another excuse: "Really, it's not necessary. I think this dress is fine. As for clothes, as long as they're wearable, that's enough. I don't want to waste money on this, and I can't afford to."
I plan to save up and buy a high-performance laptop so I can practice programming more.
As you all know, there's just so much to learn in our major.
I want to take the relevant certification exams while I'm still in school, so that I'll have an advantage when looking for a job after graduation.
After all, I still have student loans to pay off, and I need to find a job as soon as possible after graduation to support myself and pay them off!
After Chen Xia finished speaking, the dormitory suddenly fell silent for a few seconds. Ma Lin exchanged a glance with Yan Rui, who was applying a face mask, and regretted bringing up this topic.
After all, this topic was far too heavy for Chen Xia, an orphan who could only rely on himself.
Just then, the bathroom door was suddenly pushed open, and Liu Dandan rushed out of the bathroom, holding her phone and shouting: "Sisters, look! The forum at the university next door is in an uproar!"
Chen Xia and her friends went over to take a look and saw that someone had uploaded a video to the forum of the neighboring university.
The accompanying description said that a rich second-generation female student at their school drove her newly bought Ferrari to pick up her new boyfriend, a younger man, from school.
In the video, for some unknown reason, the brand-new Ferrari suddenly went out of control and crashed straight into the bicycle shed below the men's dormitory building.
A stylish young woman got out of the passenger seat of the Ferrari, walked around the car a few times, and then slapped the puppy across the face, making it swell up: "Damn it, I shouldn't have come to pick you up today."
Why do you seem like a jinx? Anyone who gets involved with you is doomed. Ever since I met you, I've had bad luck every single day.
Minor accidents like this were one thing, but this time, I just got my new car, only driven it for two days, and you, you unlucky bastard, crashed into it. I'm lucky to be alive; who knows what might happen next time.
Alright, let's part ways amicably. I'm scared of you. I've spent quite a bit of money on you these past few days, so go find somewhere cool to go.
I'm going to have to go to a temple to pray when I get back, this is really damn creepy! I'm telling you, stay away from me right now, or I'll make you slap me again!
After watching the video, the dormitory erupted in laughter. Yan Rui laughed so hard her face mask fell off: "This is too dramatic, it's like watching an idol drama."
Chen Xia laughed along with him. Song Jingwen was going to be unlucky. Last time, she went to the coffee shop where he worked and waited for him, then stuck a bad luck charm on him that would last for ten years.
He wanted to be with a rich woman like in his past life, but after being dumped by her, he suddenly wanted to find a good girl to settle down with. Keep dreaming.
The original owner only knew that he later fell in love with He Tiantian and made her cry and go crazy for him. But he didn't know that when he was a freshman in college, he was kept by a rich female senior.
When he was dating the original owner, the rich woman fell for a younger, more handsome, and obedient man and dumped him.
He also made a lot of money from the rich woman. After meeting the original owner of the body, he thought about having a proper relationship, getting married and having children.
After Chen Xia put a bad luck charm on him, his bad luck spread to the rich woman who was keeping him, and the two of them often had all sorts of accidents during their dates.
The rich woman was already impatient. This time, if he hadn't begged her to let him drive her newly bought Ferrari, she wouldn't have come to pick him up.
As a result, an accident occurred. He had only driven a few dozen meters when the rich woman's newly bought Ferrari crashed into a bicycle shed, and the front of the car was completely dented.
This thing was expensive to buy, and it's not cheap to repair either. The rich woman got angrier and angrier looking at his face, so she just kicked him out.
Song Jingwen was truly devastated. The rich woman was furious and hadn't given him a single penny in breakup fees. He had served her for so long, and all he got in return were a few luxury items. He had lost out big time.
"Wow, that car must be worth at least three million! They're really rich! It's been crashed like that, the repairs must cost a fortune."
Liu Dandan scratched her head: "If they have money, why would they be afraid of spending money on car repairs? Hey, let me tell you, this guy looks familiar, like he was in the same class as my high school class. Wait a minute, let me ask her what's going on."
Liu Dandan took her phone and ran to the balcony to make a call. After a while, she ran back in with a cheeky grin: "Let me tell you, that rich woman has already graduated from the university, and I heard she's incredibly wealthy."
She likes dating younger men, and it's said that any of her "puppy-like" boyfriends over 22 years old are given money to break up with immediately, without exception.
Marlene couldn't help but sigh, "That rich woman lives such a carefree life! When will I be able to live like her?"
Oh, I remember seeing someone online say that a female celebrity from Hong Kong and Taiwan publicly stated on a program that she has no interest in men over 25 years old.
None of her boyfriends have ever been older than twenty-five. I used to think it was just a rumor, but I never imagined this rich woman was even more impressive. Art truly imitates life, yet transcends it.
Chen Xia poured herself a glass of water and took a sip: "As long as you have money, you can too. Money may not be able to buy everything, but it can significantly improve your quality of life."
These days, many people online say that marriage is the grave of love, and raising children is too tiring. But if you have enough money, you can hire a nanny if you're tired, and if one isn't enough, hire two.
The dormitory fell silent for a moment. Chen Xia's three roommates looked at her in surprise, never expecting her, who was usually so frugal and simple, to say such a thing.
“Wow, Xiaxia.” Marlene blinked. “I really didn’t expect you to say something so… realistic.”
When my cousin was dating, my aunt said that if she found a poor guy from the countryside who had come to the city to study, she would never be able to turn her life around.
At the time, I scoffed at her words, thinking she was just a snob and had desecrated my cousin's and her boyfriend's love.
Chen Xia looked at her: "Of course, that's not absolute. If your cousin's boyfriend truly loves her and is hardworking and ambitious, he can still give her happiness through his own efforts."
Ma Lin sighed, "My aunt was right. They dated for five years, but broke up just before they got married."
Her boyfriend broke up with her, saying my cousin was too materialistic.
After so many years of love, he thought his cousin loved him deeply too. But when it came to marriage, she allowed her mother to make things difficult for his parents, demanding a down payment for a house and an exorbitant dowry.
I questioned her about what she meant by doing this, and where her love was placed. Completely disregarding my cousin's explanation, he insisted on breaking up. Later, he spent a large sum of money on a bride price back in his hometown and even borrowed money to buy a house to marry a woman he met through a blind date.
After my cousin had a good cry, she finally understood. It wasn't that her family was greedy; in our area, girls always receive a dowry when they get married, and they weren't asking for an exorbitant amount.
Furthermore, my aunt said that since my cousin is her only daughter, no matter how much dowry her boyfriend's family offers, her family will provide double the dowry.
The down payment for the house was made by both families, and the house was registered in both their names. My aunt paid for all the renovations.
When she gets married, she'll also bring a car worth around 200,000 yuan as part of her dowry. But her boyfriend's family doesn't agree; in their view, no matter how much my cousin brings as dowry, it's still her dowry.
The bride price needs to be a substantial amount from them, and they're not my cousin's boyfriend's son, so they're unwilling to spend that much money.
Later I heard that my cousin's ex-boyfriend had saved up and borrowed the money for his wedding, and the couple argued about money all the time after they got married.
While drinking with his friends, he complained that he shouldn't have listened to his parents.
He felt that since he had been with my cousin for many years, if he broke up with her, she would definitely try her best to keep him.
In this way, their family can get a daughter-in-law for free without spending a penny.
Unexpectedly, after he broke up with me, my cousin was heartbroken, but she did not try to stop him.
Moreover, my aunt dragged me on a trip to relax, and I didn't return until several months later.
He ended up losing more than he gained by trying to steal a chicken. He wanted to get back together with my cousin, but he felt he'd lose face. In the end, out of spite, he borrowed money to marry his current wife.
Unexpectedly, after his wife got married, she found out he had no money and, to save face, borrowed a lot of money online.
He simply handed his bank card to his own mother and they split all their expenses equally.
She still refuses to get pregnant and have children. Whenever her mother-in-law pressures her to have a baby, she says she's drowning in debt and can barely make ends meet, let alone raise a child.
