A folding umbrella, thin stickers, a plush doll, three bow ties made of different fabrics, silky stockings, and... what is this?
He touched a leather strap that was just the right amount of firmness and softness.
The fingertips stroked it inch by inch, occasionally inserting cold metal rings, and a ball-shaped object hung in the middle.
A part of the robe was pressed on the bottom layer.
He pushed it a little harder.
A clear bell rang in the quiet classroom.
The students listening to the lecture in the front row couldn't help but turn their heads.
Chu Junling turned to Su Ci in astonishment, his pupils slightly dilated, all kinds of complex and indescribable emotions intertwined, like a well-behaved puppy looking at its owner with fascination and eagerness.
Su Ci seemed not to notice his little action.
She wrote on the back of the paper with the pen he gave her.
【What's wrong? Why are you suddenly looking at me like this?】
Chu Junling shook his head awkwardly, pretending nothing happened, but in fact he slipped the choker into his sleeve and put it on secretly under the pretext of going to the bathroom after class.
The bells and accessories were very small and could hardly be seen under the uniform shirt. The slight sense of restraint did not make him breathless, but instead made him feel very comfortable.
It felt like the senior was strangling him.
…
Xia Chuhe's injuries had not yet healed when she was forced to be discharged early due to the high hospital bills.
Before accepting financial support from the Feng family, she had been living in a slum on the edge of the city. Later, she moved into a student dormitory and never returned.
She was even unaware that the grandmother who raised her was seriously ill and bedridden and was about to pass away.
Or perhaps, her humble background was the pain point of her life, and after being reborn, she didn't want to have any ties to her dirty past.
"Chu He, I really didn't expect you to become this kind of person! Grandma is dying, she just wants to see you before she dies, is it that difficult?!"
The girl who was raised by the old lady like Xia Chuhe burst into tears and accused her of being cold-blooded and heartless at the gate of Mingsong College.
Xia Chuhe frowned and said, "If you want money from me, just tell me directly. Don't make up stories. You are too old to be afraid of dying."
The Feng family only gave her two thousand a month, which was not enough for her own hospitalization and food and clothing. How could there be any extra for them, the grandmother and the grandchildren?
"Get out of here right now! This isn't the place for you. You're such a money-obsessed snob, you're dragging down the reputation of Mingsong Academy."
She was anxious to drive the pretty girl away.
Not only did Qi Wei feel ashamed to associate with people from the slums, but he also had a secret hidden in his heart for nearly ten years -
The person the Feng family wanted to sponsor at first was not her.
The girl in front of me is Xia Chumiao.
When the Feng family's housekeeper took people to the slums to visit the elderly, the weak and the disabled, she sent Xia Chumiao out to buy medicine for Grandma Xia, secretly changed the signatures on the two test papers, and tore up Xia Chumiao's award certificates that covered the wall.
At that time, she was still in elementary school, and the grant of 10,000 yuan was not worth the nobles' spending too much energy to investigate its authenticity.
With the financial support of the Feng family, she enjoyed much better educational resources than Xia Chumiao, and gradually surpassed Xia Chumiao, who had been smarter than her since childhood.
She was afraid that Xia Chumiao would find out about all this, and she was even more afraid of losing the support and care of Madam Feng and Senior Feng.
"Are you deaf? I told you to get out!"
Xia Chumiao looked at the unfamiliar childhood playmate in front of her, choked with sobs and unable to speak. The world blurred by tears seemed distorted and upside down.
She turned around stiffly and almost bumped into someone.
"I'm sorry, I didn't see the road clearly."
Knowing that the students of this academy were either rich or noble, Xia Chumiao hunched over humbly as he apologized, trembling with fear.
Xia Chuhe, who was standing inside the gate, saw the person Xia Chumiao almost bumped into. The corners of his lips twitched and he almost couldn't hold back his gloating smile.
Hahahahahaha...it's actually Su Ci!
That madman Chu Junling is here too!
Xia Chumiao is finished!
Even though she bumped into Su Ci, Xia Chuhe didn't think Chu Junling would let her go. From the man's frown, it could be seen that he was very unhappy.
Reason told her that she should stay away from Chu Junling, but because she was so worried about Xia Chumiao's fate, she did not leave immediately.
