Fu Xiuhan rarely used the word "please," but he did so to make himself appear more sincere.
"There isn't much money in there, but you can use it when you don't know what to eat."
Fu Xiuhan realized that paying by bank card was too direct, and considering that Shi Qian often ate in the cafeteria, a meal card seemed more practical.
The money in there was the same amount he deposited when he enrolled. He doesn't eat much, so I'd estimate he still has around a million yuan, which is more than enough for his daily expenses in the cafeteria or the school supermarket.
If Shi Qian gets tired of the cafeteria food, he can pack food from outside and have it delivered to Shi Qian. His first step is to take care of Shi Qian's food and drink.
Fu Xiuhan couldn't let Shi Qian save money on food just because she wanted to spend it elsewhere. He didn't know how much the Shi family gave Shi Qian for living expenses each month, but judging from Shi Yan's mean-spirited manner, he guessed it wouldn't be too easy for her.
Fu Xiuhan began to imagine that Shi Qian was living a miserable life as a dependent in the Shi family. Although she had a lot of clothes, they were all so ugly. It was hard to say that they were not discarded clothes that Shi Yan had picked up and worn by Shi Qian. Just thinking about it made him feel very sorry for her.
Thinking about it carefully, were those clothes Shi Qian wanted to wear before? Probably not. Shi Qian can clearly wear normal clothes now, so why did she always wear strange clothes before? It probably wasn't voluntary.
And then there's Shi Qian's face. Unless he's the kind of person who's keen on making himself look ugly, it's impossible for him to transform himself into that appearance.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Shi Qian was not right in the past. He also thought of something else: Shi Qian used to talk to him in a mechanical and timid way. Besides being afraid of him, could there be other reasons?
Is someone afraid that Shi Qian has really climbed up to them and can no longer bully him like this?
Fu Xiuhan was quite certain that Shi Qian liked him. How could anyone not like someone as outstanding as him?
However, Shi Qian's previous methods of pursuing him were very different from now. If Shi Qian had started by being friends with him like he is now, would he not have been so disgusted with him back then?
The more Fu Xiuhan thought about it, the more he realized how badly he had treated Shi Qian in the past. He had only seen the surface and hadn't realized how difficult Shi Qian's life had been.
Perhaps Shi Qian pursued him not only because she liked him, but also to escape the clutches of the Shi family.
Fu Xiuhan suddenly realized something, and upon closer examination, he felt a chill run down his spine, realizing that he had stumbled upon some truth.
Shi Qian is most likely trying to curry favor with him, find a powerful backer, and make her life a little easier!
Pushing Shi Qian away would undoubtedly have caused him great harm. Shi Yan said that Shi Qian's leave of absence from school was not due to illness, so could it be that he was being held captive? Or that the Shi family was preventing him from continuing his studies?
Did Shi Yan stop him today because he felt that Shi Qian was out of his control and wanted to slander Shi Qian in order to make him hate Shi Qian?
Looking back on Shi Qian's attitude towards Shi Yan during this period, it was indeed much more distant than before, and could even be described as indifferent.
Even someone as oblivious as him could sense Shi Yan's subtle aversion and malice towards Shi Qian. What does that tell us?
It is very likely that Shi Qian and Shi Yan have already broken up at home, which is why their attitudes toward each other are so different from before.
By the way! Shi Qian never lived on campus before, but this time when she came back from her leave of absence, she actually chose to live on campus. Is it also because of some unpleasantness with the Shi family?
Fu Xiuhan imagined a whole drama unfolding in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Shi Qian was having a hard time and was suffering terribly.
Shi Qian watched as Fu Xiuhan's gaze shifted from pity to shock to sympathy, and thought to herself, "Well, this young master's brain is starting to race again."
Shi Qian put down the hairdryer, looked at the meal card in Fu Xiuhan's hand, and then at the bank card on the table. She guessed that the young master had probably misunderstood something, thinking that he had fallen into depravity because of money and was trying to save him.
Shi Qian didn't take Fu Xiuhan's meal card, but just looked at him and said:
"You can speak your mind directly."
Shi Qian couldn't understand Fu Xiuhan, nor did he intend to. He didn't want to waste time guessing; he'd just ask directly if he had any questions.
"I'm afraid you won't have enough money to spend..."
"How so?"
Fu Xiuhan hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "I think you're having a tough time in the Shi family."
"Why?"
"There's no reason why, it's just intuition."
Fu Xiuhan didn't want to mention those "evidence." Shi Qian had already been hurt once, and if he brought them up again, wouldn't he be hurting him again?
When Shi Qian heard Fu Xiuhan say that he was having a hard time in the Shi family, he raised his eyebrows. Did this man know something?
Although he didn't owe the Shi family anything materially, to be honest, he didn't have an easy time. How could someone who was just a tool have an easy life?
"To be honest," Shi Qian said, feeling that Fu Xiuhan was being evasive, which he didn't like.
Fu Xiuhan closed his eyes briefly, but finally spoke honestly: "I think you might be a little short of money. I saw the posts on the forum, but I assure you, I absolutely did not believe any of the sugar daddy/sugar baby talk they were talking about on the forum."
"I've noticed that you've become much more low-key in your clothes and belongings than before. Take that watch, for example. I think I used to see you wearing it all the time, but I haven't seen you wear it since you came back..."
Fu Xiuhan originally wanted to say that Shi Qian was reluctant to wear it because she was not doing well, but he was afraid that this would be too direct and hurt Shi Qian's self-esteem.
"Moreover, I think Shi Yan has a problem with you. I don't know if the two of you had a falling out at the Shi family, but he came over today and told me that you were being kept by a sugar daddy. He said it as if it were true, but I don't believe it."
"Moreover, I think that as your relative, when you encounter problems, his first action is not to investigate or help you clarify the situation, but instead to come over and speak ill of you to someone I have no connection with. This seems to be extremely malicious."
Shi Qian was unaware of Shi Yan's involvement, but thinking about it, it made sense. Whenever there was an opportunity to step on him to rise to power, how could Shi Yan possibly miss it?
"Then what?"
"Then there's my own thought. I think you might have had some unpleasantness with the Shi family or Shi Yan, so you chose to stay at the dormitory instead of going to and from school with Shi Yan like before."
“As your male…” Fu Xiuhan blurted out, almost saying boyfriend, but since their relationship wasn’t officially confirmed yet, it would seem a bit undignified to say that, so he quickly said, “As your friend, I feel obligated to stand by your side.”
"I'm not giving you my bank card or money to insult you. This money really doesn't mean much to me. I just want to make things a little easier for you..."
After Fu Xiuhan finished speaking, he lowered his head somewhat embarrassed.
Shi Qian finally understood what this young master was thinking all day long. He was really good at making up stories. However, his relationship with Shi Yan turned out to be a happy accident.
Do you really think I'm being kept by someone?
