Chapter 48
After Lin Yuan left, Xu Feifei tidied up the cardboard boxes in the living room and put them on the trolley. She planned to return the trolley and take the cardboard boxes to the courier company for recycling.
The small cart sat quietly in the corner of the living room. Xu Feifei had originally planned to return it, but after unpacking the packages, it was already past eight or nine o'clock. The courier station here only closes at nine o'clock in the evening, and it closes promptly at nine o'clock.
After Xu Feifei finished showering, she checked her phone and found a message from Lin Yuan. Opening it, she discovered it was about the sanitary napkins she had asked Lin Yuan earlier. The message listed all the details, with each special item marked with an asterisk (*). Reading it warmed her heart.
After reading the message, Xu Feifei immediately forgot to reply with a "love you" emoji. After sending it, she couldn't help but read the message again.
I was just about to write something when I noticed Lin Yuan's chat log showing "typing..." at the top. A little while later, it disappeared.
After a while, it showed that the other party was typing..., and then it stopped again. This repeated itself, leaving her completely confused.
Just as I was about to ask Lin Yuan what was wrong, I checked the time and it was 9:45.
It's already so late before I knew it, and Xu Feifei still hasn't started her homework. "Oh no, I'm not going to finish today's homework."
Xu Feifei, clutching her books, hurriedly headed towards Lin Yuan's dormitory. Lin Yuan was now her only savior.
The next day, Xu Feifei didn't even buy breakfast; she went straight to bed at her desk as soon as she got to the classroom. She was so tired; she had been working on her homework until midnight the night before and couldn't keep her eyes open this morning. She was only able to get to the classroom thanks to her biological alarm clock and sheer willpower.
Lin Yuan placed the breakfast on the table and said softly, "Feifei, eat breakfast first."
Xu Feifei did not respond for a long time.
Lin Yuan called out again.
"I'll eat later... later..."
When Nangong Ye passed by Xu Feifei, he snorted and said, "I think all you do is sleep all day, like a pig!"
As Zeng Hao passed by, he shook his head and said, "It seems that last night..."
He glanced unintentionally at Lin Yuan halfway through his sentence, only to find her looking at him coldly. Could Lin Yuan know about yesterday's events? Feeling guilty, he touched his nose and walked away.
After morning reading, Xu Feifei barely managed to recover her spirits. Her stomach was growling with hunger, so she listlessly picked up the breakfast Lin Yuan had brought and began to eat it.
Even if you give her an iced Americano now, she won't feel any energy, because she's already immune to caffeine.
"Xu Feifei, your family hasn't gone bankrupt, has it?"
Xu Feifei looked up and saw Gao Anxuan staring at her hand in shock. Xu Feifei followed her gaze and saw the gold bracelet that had just arrived yesterday.
"You mean this?" Xu Feifei held up her hand, indicating her gold bracelet.
"Yeah! You wouldn't wear such a cheap bracelet, would you?"
Xu Feifei looked at her gold bracelet, which weighed about 20 or 30 grams. It was 24k pure gold, worth five figures! How could it be so cheap! How could she be bankrupt!
"Doesn't your family own a luxury brand? Its influence ranks among the top five globally, so you don't need to wear something like this, do you?"
After hearing her words, Xu Feifei suddenly remembered that she was, after all, a daughter of a famous and wealthy family in the Mary Sue world.
A five-figure sum is indeed very expensive for her personally. But for someone of her status, a five-figure sum is really nothing.
“I think it looks great!” Lin Yuan said.
Xu Feifei glanced at Lin Yuan, who always supported her no matter what; she really felt bad for her.
If I had remembered how powerful her family was, I should have gone back to my own company and given Lin Yuan some kind of cat's eye gem, or the heart of the desert or the heart of the ocean.
Just go for the expensive ones!
"What's so good about it? There's nothing special about it. I remember your company released a new product a few days ago, and that was alright," Gao Anxuan retorted.
“The highlight of this bracelet is the person,” Lin Yuan said.
“Yes! The highlight of this bracelet is the person. A plain bracelet can better test a person’s temperament; it’s simple, doesn’t steal the show, and brings everyone’s attention back to the essence of the person,” Zeng Hao interjected from the side.
"This plain bracelet makes Feifei's hands look like smooth jade, soft and boneless, with slender fingers, and a gentle and intelligent temperament," Zeng Hao continued eloquently.
Lin Yuan glanced at Zeng Hao and nodded in agreement.
Upon hearing this, Xu Feifei blushed. Zeng Hao's words were praising her to the skies, making her feel embarrassed.
After listening to Zeng Hao's words, Gao Anxuan carefully examined it and said, "It really does have that flavor."
“I think so too,” Lu Ren chimed in from the side.
Xu Feifei's face was flushed and pink, as if she had applied blush. She stammered, "No, it's not that exaggerated, is it? Haha...hahaha..."
Just as Xu Feifei was feeling smug, Nangong Ye said disdainfully from the side, "You're just blindly praising it! What white, what orchid? I bet no one would even pick up this bracelet if it fell on the ground."
When Xu Feifei heard the male lead say this, she thought, "If you won't pick it up, I will!"
"I'll pick it up."
Nangong Ye was about to retort sarcastically, but upon seeing that the speaker was Lin Yuan, he fell silent.
Seeing this, Xu Feifei noticed that, as expected, once Lin Yuan refuted the male lead, he fell silent.
“Feifei, it looks nice, but the school prohibits wearing any jewelry,” Zeng Hao said.
"Yeah?"
"Yeah, I was wearing a necklace before, and Director Ma confiscated it! He said we're not allowed to wear jewelry. I'm speechless."
"!" Xu Feifei looked at Zeng Hao in shock, then looked around and found that no one was wearing any jewelry.
Isn't this a Mary Sue-esque aristocratic school? Shouldn't there be freedom of dress? Even freedom to dye hair is allowed. How come it's so similar to her real-life school?
"Shall I take it off?" Xu Feifei hesitated before taking the bracelet off and placing it in a compartment in her backpack, then carefully zipping it up.
Although the male lead said that no one would pick it up if it fell, he would have a heart attack if he couldn't find her after losing her.
After class started, the people who had gathered around Xu Feifei returned to their seats.
After everyone had dispersed, Lin Yuan said, "Let's take it after we leave school."
Xu Feifei nodded.
Before the class was even halfway over, Xu Feifei's initial enthusiasm vanished, and her eyelids began to flutter, as if she were about to start a "romance".
Xu Feifei tried her best to control herself and prevent her eyelids from meeting in class, attempting to stop them from getting too close.
Today her head felt unusually heavy, and it kept bobbing down. She thought to herself that this shouldn't be the reason her head felt heavy, but rather that the constant of gravity had somehow changed, causing the gravity to increase and making her head bounce down.
Even as he kept bowing his head, he didn't forget to take notes. His right hand was writing in a hospital staff-specific handwriting, which was generally incomprehensible to outsiders. Even when the person in question woke up, they might not be able to recognize what it was.
After attending two classes and a long break, Xu Feifei gradually recovered her energy and was able to concentrate on listening to the teacher's lessons.
After the third class ended, Xu Feifei glanced at Lin Yuan, who was doing practice problems, and let out a heavy sigh.
"What's wrong?" Lin Yuan asked, putting down her pen.
"Sigh! I finally understand where the differences between people come from."
"How so?"
“Look, we both studied until 2 a.m. This morning, I was listless, like I had been drained of all my energy by a monster, while you were full of energy, like an old man going to a restaurant for morning tea at 5 a.m.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan laughed and said, "How can you make such a comparison?"
"I see those top students on TV studying until the early hours of the morning every day, and they still have amazing energy. I just can't do that. That's probably the difference between a top student and a slacker." Xu Feifei sighed after saying that.
"Everyone has a different learning style. Next time, we'll stop studying at 11:20, and then you can go back to sleep, okay?"
"Oh! So early, I won't be able to finish my homework," Xu Feifei said worriedly.
"Finish what you need to hand in first, then write the ones you don't need to hand in, and make them up when you come back to class tomorrow morning. How about that?"
Wow, this feels good!
"From now on, I'll get up half an hour earlier."
"Ugh, getting up early is worse than killing me. I think I'll just stay up all night," Xu Feifei said dejectedly.
"I was just kidding!" Lin Yuan laughed.
"Dare to lie to me? Take this!" Xu Feifei made eighteen feints before unleashing a burst of energy.
Lin Yuan grasped Xu Feifei's hand tightly. "I caught it."
Xu Feifei was stunned for a moment, looking at the hand that was being held, and said, "No, no, you should fall down. Then say, 'Great hero, I was wrong, please spare my life!'"
Lin Yuan looked at her bound hands, raised her eyebrows and said, "You're the one who's been captured now. Shouldn't you be the one begging for mercy first?"
Xu Feifei looked down, thought for a moment, and cried out, "Great hero, you are magnanimous and consider that this is my first offense. I have an eighty-year-old mother to support and a baby crying for milk. Please forgive me this time!"
After saying that, she turned her head away in grief and indignation and began to sob.
Lin Yuan couldn't help but chuckle at her dramatic performance, then said seriously, "Then I'll give you a chance. Whether you can seize it or not depends on your own fate."
Seeing Lin Yuan cooperate, Xu Feifei was secretly pleased and flattered her, saying, "Please speak, hero. Whether it's climbing mountains of knives or plunging into seas of fire, I will do it without hesitation."
I'm secretly glad that I've watched a lot of TV dramas and read a lot of novels, so I have a lot of vocabulary!
"Then you should repay me with your body! I happen to be in need of a wife."
"Oh dear! You're so annoying, hero!" Xu Feifei shyly threw herself onto Lin Yuan's shoulder, then chuckled softly.
Lin Yuan lowered her eyes and smiled.
When Xu Feifei looked up, she saw Lin Yuan smiling. Her smile, which had just subsided, returned, and the two smiled at each other.
It seems Lin Yuan isn't as aloof as she seems!
Xu Feifei felt two gazes on her face and looked up. She found that Lu Ren and Zeng Hao were both looking at them with strange expressions.
"What's wrong?" Xu Feifei asked.
Lin Yuan didn't speak, but glanced at them indifferently.
Zeng Hao and Lu Ren were instantly flustered after being glanced at, and hurriedly said, "No, it's nothing. You guys continue!"
After saying that, the two of them hurriedly ran away.
Xu Feifei looked at their backs, feeling confused. She looked at Lin Yuan with a questioning gaze, but Lin Yuan shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.
While studying, Xu Feifei looked at her notes on the blackboard, then suddenly seemed to remember something, turned to Lin Yuan and said, "I cannot offer myself to him!"
