Chapter 24
The dream of becoming a rich woman is wonderful, but hard work is also necessary; for example, she needs to start doing part-time jobs now.
The part-time job lasted three days. After three days, she promised her classmate that she would go out with them.
She had already made all the arrangements, so even though she missed her mother a little while studying away from home for the first time, she decided not to go home.
After hearing her plan, Yu Zhe didn't say anything, but just smiled and said, "Then I wish you to become rich soon."
Yu Zhe's family is quite well-off, so he doesn't need to work part-time at all. When he heard Jiang Yi say these things, he didn't laugh at her and did maintain his respect. Jiang Yi actually quite liked this way of getting along.
Yu Zhe looked at Jiang Yi in front of him, his eyes also filled with turbulent emotions.
If it weren't for his grandfather's birthday, he would have actually wanted to stay here and work part-time with her, not because he was short of money, but because he wanted to be with her.
He hadn't given up on her. There weren't any boys around her now, and Xu Wang had long since become someone less important in her life. Perhaps, if he spent more time with her, she would start to have different feelings for him.
However, he only thought about it.
After all, he had to go back for the National Day holiday.
Perhaps there will be another opportunity in the future.
Early on the morning of October 1st, Jiang Yi went to work part-time at the newly opened amusement park with her roommate Guan Ni. They were playing mascots that day. Although it was a bit tiring, the company paid quite well, and the wages were settled daily. So, although she was tired after a day's work, she felt quite happy.
This is the first money I've earned since starting university, so it's really significant.
So that evening, she and her roommate splurged and went to a hot pot restaurant together.
After eating hot pot, she smelled strongly of it.
The previously packed bubble tea shop next door was now almost empty. Jiang Yi glanced at her roommate and asked, "Want to buy bubble tea?"
Having just eaten hot pot, which was spicy, Guan Ni was indeed feeling a bit thirsty. She nodded and followed her into the milk tea shop.
Once inside the bubble tea shop, Guan Ni waited on the side while Jiang Yi went to get the bubble tea. Just as she returned with two cups of bubble tea, Guan Ni nudged Jiang Yi with her shoulder and said, "There's a handsome guy over there looking at you."
Jiang Yi looked a little puzzled. Following her gaze, she saw a boy in black clothes sitting by the window, wearing a baseball cap and with a somewhat indifferent and aloof look in his eyes. Because of his tall stature and imposing presence, he also attracted a lot of attention.
It was getting dark. Jiang Yi glanced at the dark sky outside, then at the boy sitting by the window, a look of disbelief flashing in her eyes.
No, how did Xu Wang suddenly appear here?
What is he doing here?
Who are you waiting for?
Visiting a friend?
Jiang Yi hesitated for a moment, but finally took the milk tea and went over to him, sat down in front of him, and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Xu Wang looked up and saw that it was her. His eyes were indifferent as he said, "I'm waiting for someone here."
Then he added, "Oh, what a coincidence."
Jiang Yi looked at his insincere expression and suddenly felt like laughing. After a while, she said, "Just now, my friend told me that you've been watching me."
Xu Wang tilted his head, his narrow eyes staring at her quietly for a few seconds, and said, "Is it possible that I'm watching the door, waiting for the person I want to come?"
Jiang Yi asked with some curiosity, "I'm curious, what friends do you have here? I don't recognize them."
Xu Wang lifted his eyelids to look at her and said, "You don't think I came here to see you, do you? Don't flatter yourself."
Jiang Yi wasn't presumptuous; she was just a little curious.
Perhaps it's because she met more friends and had to interact with more people in college, but her mood has become much more open, and now she can chat with him very naturally.
But the boy in front of me still doesn't seem to have changed. He speaks in a sarcastic tone. After almost a month of university, hasn't he changed his bad temper?
Jiang Yi shrugged, feeling that she was meddling in his business. Seeing that he didn't want to talk to her, she didn't want to make a fool of herself, so she turned around and left, returning to her seat to continue talking to her friend.
After leaving the bubble tea shop, my friend wanted to go to the supermarket in front to buy some daily necessities, so she went with her.
After walking for a while, Guan Ni looked back and pointed to Xu Wang, who was following them at a distance, and said, "Hey, Jiang Yi, that handsome guy is following us again."
Jiang Yi was silent for a moment, wondering whether it would be better to go back and talk to him or go to the supermarket with her friend. Guan Ni had already run off, waving her hand at her and saying, "You two have a good chat, I'll go buy some things first and then wait for you up ahead."
After saying that, she ran away, winking at her ambiguously.
Jiang Yi felt a little helpless, thinking to herself that the two of them were not in the relationship she thought they were, and hoped that she wouldn't overthink it.
But Guan Ni had already run away.
So Jiang Yi went back to find Xu Wang.
She didn't beat around the bush and asked him directly, "What are you doing following us?"
Hearing her words, Xu Wang's expression was somewhat amused. He said, "There are so many people on this road, how could you think I'm following you?"
Jiang Yi was also annoyed by his sarcastic remarks and said, "Xu Wang, can you be honest? You've been following me the whole time. Did you come here just because you were bored?"
Xu Wang turned his gaze elsewhere.
The city's night view is actually quite nice; otherwise, it wouldn't have lured her here.
Thinking that he had only seen her and her friends earlier, Xu Wang couldn't help but ask, "Where's Yu Zhe? Why wasn't he with you?"
Jiang Yi found Xu Wanghao's behavior baffling. What was her relationship with Yu Zhe? Why did he have to get involved with him?
Jiang Yi said, "Yu Zhe has gone home."
For some reason, Xu Wang suddenly chuckled and said, "That's how he treats you as a boyfriend. His girlfriend works here, but he goes home."
The street was very noisy, and people around him kept making noise. Jiang Yi thought she was hallucinating when she heard his words.
No, when did I suddenly get a boyfriend?
Jiang Yi asked, "How could you think I talked to Yu Zhe?"
Xu Wang was also taken aback when he heard her words.
He still thought...
It's not that he was overthinking things. After all, before he came, Lu Yang had been spreading all sorts of rumors in his ear, so he thought it was just a misunderstanding.
Jiang Yi found it quite unbelievable, so was that the reason he made a special trip over here?
She felt a little amused, but couldn't quite laugh.
If I couldn't sense it before because I wasn't an adult, Xu Wang is now quite obvious.
His attitude clearly shows that he's interested in me.
Jiang Yi found it absurd that he would fall in love with her.
He didn't have any issues with me in the first place, so how did things turn out like this?
Her mind was in a mess, but considering that he had come all by himself and was completely unfamiliar with the area, Jiang Yi asked with concern, "Are you staying here tonight?"
Seeing the boy's calm expression, she looked incredulous and said, "You didn't come here without any luggage, did you?"
For Xu Wang, coming here without bringing anything was indeed a very impulsive thing to do, but in reality, now that he knows Jiang Yi doesn't have a boyfriend, he doesn't regret it at all, and he feels extremely happy right now.
He was glad that he had come over himself.
However, since they hadn't really said much before, they were both a little silent at this moment.
After a while, Jiang Yi broke the silence and said, "Well, it's getting late, let me go with you to find a hotel nearby."
Xu Wang was in a similar situation to her, but she had been here for a while, while he was all alone. How should she put it, she was still a little worried. What if something happened to him here? She didn't know how she would explain it to Aunt Fu.
Without giving Xu Wang a chance to refuse, she quickly called Guan Ni and told her about it.
When Guan Ni heard that she was going to accompany Xu Wang to find a hotel, her voice immediately became much louder, and she asked excitedly, "No way, you two are going straight to a hotel as soon as you meet?"
Xu Wang was right next to her, and Guan Ni's voice was loud. Jiang Yi was afraid he would hear her, so she quickly denied it, saying, "No, no, I said I would go with him to look for it. I will go back to the dormitory tonight."
Guan Ni had seen Xu Wang's beauty in person. It was safe to say that even the most handsome guy in their school might not be as good-looking as Xu Wang.
No matter what the relationship is between the two of them, it's a win-win situation to sleep with such a handsome guy.
So Guan Ni strongly encouraged him, saying, "Go ahead, go ahead, you don't need to come back so early. Of course, you're welcome to stay if you don't come back."
Jiang Yi found it somewhat amusing that her roommates, who were also effeminate, frequently posted pictures of handsome men's abs in the dorm group chat. She had only been hosting a friend, yet they still misunderstood her.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yi accompanied Xu Wang to find a hotel nearby.
Xu Wang grew up in luxury, his family was never short of money, so the hotels he stayed in were naturally not bad either.
There was indeed a five-star hotel nearby, and Jiang Yi took him there.
Thinking of something, when she was nearby, Jiang Yi took out her phone to scan the code.
Then she was severely scorned by Xu Wang.
"How much money did you earn from your part-time job today? If you were to pay for this, you'd probably have to work for more than a month to earn this much."
Jiang Yi choked, then said, "Don't look down on me, okay? I have my own little savings."
After all, they had swindled him out of a lot of money back then, and he hadn't touched a single penny of that money.
Xu Wang scoffed lightly and didn't ask her to pay.
With her hotel room booked, Jiang Yi saw no need to stay any longer. She said goodbye to Xu Wang, "It's getting late, I'll head back now."
Xu Wang's expression showed some displeasure as he said, "You can go to the supermarket with other people, but you can't go with me?"
Jiang Yi hadn't heard him say he was going to the supermarket. Just as she was about to refute something, the boy had already walked forward and reached the elevator door.
Jiang Yi had no choice but to follow the ill-tempered young master into the elevator.
Once inside the supermarket, Xu Wang asked Jiang Yi to push the cart while he reached for the items.
He said he was going to buy daily necessities, but he actually bought a whole bunch of snacks.
Jiang Yi watched from behind as he put bags of snacks into the shopping cart as if they were free, her expression carrying an indescribable silence.
Wait, when did this person become so fond of snacks?
Thinking of this, Jiang Yi couldn't help but ask with concern, "Did you buy so many snacks because you didn't eat dinner? It's not good to eat snacks instead of meals. I know a few good restaurants nearby."
Xu Wang turned his head, looked at her coldly, and said, "None of your business."
Jiang Yi: "…………"
In less than a month, this person's temper seemed to have gotten even worse.
Fortunately, he won't be here for long. She'll just have to send him away. She has no desire to serve this ill-tempered young master.
I bought a shopping cart full of items, three-quarters of which were snacks; one bag simply couldn't hold them all.
Jiang Yi looked at him carrying two large bags of things and felt a pang of heartache.
There are so many snacks, even if this person stays here for seven days, he might not be able to finish them all. It's such a waste.
Unfortunately, this person might not listen to her, so she decided to avoid seeing him altogether.
Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the dormitory building, he handed her a bag containing only snacks and said, "Here."
Jiang Yi said incredulously, "Give it to me."
Xu Wang's expression remained as indifferent as ever, and he said, "You bought too much."
Jiang Yi: "..."
She doesn't believe him for a second.
She kept saying he couldn't finish buying it all, how could she say he bought too much? She was just doing it on purpose.
Seeing that she was standing there dumbfounded and didn't take it, Xu Wang simply shoved it into her hand, then turned and left with a cool air.
His smug look made Jiang Yi want to punch him a little.
