stay
"Nangong Ye, what are you doing here? Are you staying here too?"
Xu Feifei was quite curious about Nangong Ye's accommodation. Usually, in these kinds of novels, the male lead lives in a villa, right? Then, due to some unexpected events, the female lead ends up living in the male lead's villa, starting their daily life as a bickering couple, and their relationship gradually warms up.
Seeing the shocked look in Xu Feifei's eyes, Nangong Ye said unhappily, "I can stay wherever I want."
"No, I'm just a little surprised! Alone?"
"Otherwise what!"
Xu Feifei was still thinking about how to subtly ask the male lead how he was taking care of his daily life. Could it be that the female lead also lived there and was taking care of him? Given the typical nature of old-fashioned novels, this possibility was very high, but how exactly should she ask?
"Your mother is still waiting for you at home, don't keep her waiting too long."
Xu Feifei thought for a long time but couldn't think of a way to ask, so she could only go along with Lin Yuan's words.
"Okay, bye-bye!"
Xu Feifei got into the car and looked out the rear window, only to see Lin Yuan and Nangong Ye walking into the dormitory building together. The fact that the male lead was in the dormitory further solidified Xu Feifei's determination to move there.
She watched the buildings outside the window recede into the distance. The evening breeze blew into the car, ruffling her hair and sending it whistling backward.
The car drove onto the main road in the bustling city. Outside, the scene was lively and brightly lit.
For some reason, looking at the bustling streets made Xu Feifei feel incredibly lonely, remembering how she had been living alone in this unfamiliar, unreal world for the past few days. A wave of loneliness, confusion, bewilderment, and helplessness washed over her...
Negative emotions surged like a tide, and I felt like crying; tears welled up in my eyes.
Xu Feifei rolled up the car window, leaned back in her seat, closed her eyes, and tears instantly streamed down her face. Emotions always come suddenly, catching people off guard. She really wanted to go back!
Perhaps the bodyguard heard her sniffing unintentionally, for he looked at her through the rearview mirror and asked worriedly, "Miss, what's wrong?"
Xu Feifei wanted to answer, but found herself choked up. So she shook her head, crossed her arms, and stared blankly out the window, not wanting anyone to see her like this.
Seeing this, the bodyguard didn't say anything more, but simply raised the temperature inside the car a little.
Afterwards, the car got closer and closer to the Xu residence. She gradually calmed down, composed herself, and the car arrived.
As soon as she entered, a maid came to help her with her schoolbag. Xu Feifei wasn't used to being waited on like this, so she waved her hand, took her schoolbag, and went straight to the living room.
When Gao Lan saw Xu Feifei return, she quickly waved her over and said, "Come and sit down for a while. Tell your mother how you feel about the new school?"
Xu Feifei paused for a moment, then naturally sat down next to her and said, "It's alright, my deskmate is a nice person."
What's your new deskmate's name?
"Lin Yuan is very beautiful."
Gao Lan frowned, not recognizing Lin Yuan. She still harbored some lingering unease about Lin Yuan's past friendships and was now being cautious about her choice of friends.
Have you talked to her about our family situation?
Xu Feifei shook her head and said, "I didn't say that."
"And her? Has she mentioned herself?"
"No."
Just then, Aunt Wang brought out the sweet soup. Xu Feifei's gaze was drawn to what Aunt Wang had brought out, staring at the large papaya in front of her? She was a little incredulous; sweet soup was made from a large papaya?
Aunt Zhang placed the bowls and spoons down, then used a utensil to move the top half of the papaya to an empty plate. After filling two bowls with the utensil, she said, "Madam, Miss, you can drink now."
"Today I specially asked Aunt Zhang to make your favorite papaya and snow frog stew. Try it!"
Papaya stewed with snow frog!
Ever since Xu Feifei learned online that snow frog (a type of frog) is the oviduct of the forest frog, she has developed an inexplicable aversion to this food. She also dislikes anything stewed with papaya, always finding a certain unpalatable taste in cooked papaya.
These two ingredients together are a complete culinary disaster for her; there's absolutely no way she could eat them!
She looked embarrassed, rubbed her swollen belly, and said in a spoiled tone, "Mommy, I'm too full today. My tummy is a little bloated now, maybe next time!"
Gao Lan looked at her little belly and said, "You're not overeating, are you? Do you want to eat something to help you digest?"
Xu Feifei shook her head and said, "No need, it will go down in a little while."
Suddenly remembering the issue of boarding school, she tentatively asked, "Mom, I'd like to stay at school, is that okay?"
"Why do you suddenly want to stay overnight?" Gao Lan asked, holding a spoon and looking at her.
"Since I transferred schools midway through the semester, I wanted to integrate into the class quickly, and living in the dormitory was one of the ways to quickly build good relationships with my classmates. Living in the dormitory also meant I didn't have to get up early."
Her mother thought for a moment, hesitated, and said, "How about in a few days?"
Xu Feifei shook her head and refused. "No, I want to hurry. I want to integrate into my classmates as soon as possible."
"Should I have Aunt Wang stay nearby to keep you company?"
"No, I'm all grown up now, not a child anymore. I can take care of myself. Besides, which student goes to school with their aunt these days?"
Finally, after much persuasion from Xu Feifei, her mother finally agreed.
After receiving permission, Xu Feifei happily went upstairs to wash up. Suddenly, she remembered something, went to the kitchen, and asked Aunt Wang for a favor.
After washing up, she sat down at her desk to do her homework. But when she opened the assignment given by the teacher, there was a huge, densely packed pile of material, mostly stuff she hadn't learned much about. After sitting there for half an hour, she decided to just go to sleep.
Anyway, this world is a fictional world. I already have enough homework in real life, why would I need to do any more in this fictional world? It's best to indulge myself a little. I have so much homework in real life, I do it in my dreams too. What if I suddenly die in my dream? Thinking of this, Xu Feifei went to sleep peacefully.
The next morning, Xu Feifei arrived at the dormitory area early and sent a message to Lin Yuan and the male protagonist.
In the early morning, the campus is filled with the sound of birds chirping, their calls clear and melodious. A gentle breeze occasionally blows, carrying away the summer heat. Listening to the birdsong brings a sense of tranquility.
After a while, Lin Yuan rushed over, still catching her breath, and apologized, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
"No! I just arrived too suddenly."
"Look, I brought you breakfast." Xu Feifei handed her the bag containing breakfast.
Lin Yuan took it and smiled, "You made it yourself?"
"You think too highly of me. I don't get up that early! I'll cook for you when I stay at the hotel."
Lin Yuan smiled and looked at her, asking, "Do you want to stay at school?"
Xu Feifei smiled and nodded, glancing down at her phone. Seeing that the male lead hadn't replied, she sent him another message. Putting her phone away, she said, "Okay, let's talk as we walk!"
The two walked side by side toward the classroom.
"I begged my mom for ages yesterday before she finally agreed to let me stay at school. Lin Yuan, do you have a roommate? Can I share a dorm room with you?" Xu Feifei happily shared this good news with Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan froze upon hearing this, her lips pressed tightly together as she said, "I'm used to being alone."
Xu Feifei was a little disappointed after being rejected. But she still didn't give up and said, "It would be great if two people lived together. We could chat and study together. Besides, I can clean, and I'm never slow when it's my turn. I'm also clean and hygienic, and I strictly follow the dormitory rules."
Xu Feifei spoke at length, and for some reason, she really wanted to be Lin Yuan's roommate.
Perhaps she is currently quite dependent on Lin Yuan. Although they have only spent one day together, Lin Yuan has given her a strong sense of security and dependence.
Lin Yuan looked at her in surprise upon hearing her words. She clenched her hands and stopped in her tracks. Lowering her head, stray hairs obscuring her eyes, her gaze seemed to be filled with suppressed emotion, before finally speaking slowly, "No need."
Upon hearing those two words, Xu Feifei stared at her blankly, then asked with a disappointed expression, "Why?"
I don't know if it's because she's so sensitive, but she thought Lin Yuan also considered her a good friend. It turns out she was just overthinking it.
A bitter feeling spread through his heart. He walked with his head down, no longer looking at her.
Seeing that she was in low spirits, Lin Yuan quickly explained, "It's my own fault, it has nothing to do with you. I'm sorry, I also have my own difficulties."
After thinking about this, Xu Feifei looked at her with a puzzled expression, but her eyes still showed disappointment. Perhaps she just thought it was a comforting remark.
Lin Yuan continued, "How about you stay next door to me? I have a space next door."
Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was somewhat heavy. Finally, Xu Feifei nodded, but she still seemed a little sullen.
Lin Yuan felt a pang of guilt, but she was powerless to stop it. She was afraid she wouldn't be able to control herself; for some reason, she kept having impulsive thoughts. He needed to desperately suppress and restrain her.
"Shall I go with you to the dormitory management center to complete the formalities in a bit?" Lin Yuan asked.
Xu Feifei nodded and said, "Okay."
Back in the classroom, Xu Feifei quietly sat down in her seat, resting her chin on her hand, seemingly lost in thought.
Seeing this, Lin Yuan remembered the snacks from yesterday and took them out.
"Would you like some pudding?"
Xu Feifei took the pudding, opened it, and slowly began to eat. The moment the pudding touched her tongue, her depressed mood eased a little. Her mood improved somewhat; perhaps desserts stimulate dopamine release?
Turning to look at Lin Yuan, he found her looking at him with some concern. Perhaps she really did have something she couldn't say?
Thinking of this, half of the gloom in my heart was swept away. Remembering that Lin Yuan hadn't eaten breakfast yet, and that she had been throwing a tantrum on the way here, I quickly said, "You haven't had breakfast yet, hurry up and try it."
Seeing that she was in a much better mood, Lin Yuan finally felt relieved and smiled, "Okay."
More and more people arrived at the class, and Lin Yuan finished her breakfast. After eating, she buried herself in doing practice problems.
At this moment, the male protagonist returned to the classroom. He went straight to Xu Feifei's seat and glanced at Lin Yuan. Xu Feifei was engrossed in copying Lin Yuan's homework, completely unaware that the male protagonist was standing next to her.
After waiting for a while, Nangong Ye impatiently tapped on her table and said, "Breakfast."
