The night air was sweet and filled with hope.
Xin Yu discovered that the most beautiful thing wasn't just meeting an old friend in a foreign land, but more importantly, that this friend had offered her a chance to make money!
"Yuanzi, I love you to death!" Xin Yu hugged Yuanzi tightly. "I never thought your company would actually be hiring part-time workers!"
Haha! Truly, there's always a way out!
"Mu Yichuan, you jerk! As long as I have hands, I'm not afraid of you!" Xin Yu muttered.
"What are you saying! Gritting your teeth?" Yuanzi was confused, watching Xin Yu's mood swings.
Xin Yu quickly shook her head, grinning foolishly, "It's nothing, go to sleep! I have class tomorrow."
She slept soundly through the night, stretching. These past two days felt longer than two years…
"Yuanzi, get up, let's go for a run!"
"Hmm… What run? I don't want to… Aren't you going to class?" Yuanzi lazily rolled over. "Running won't interfere with class!" Xin Yu pulled Yuanzi up without hesitation; this was the only thing she could do for Yuanzi. She remembered Yuanzi's deeply bowed head when she was scolded yesterday.
"Huff... I'm done for. I probably can't go to work today." Yuanzi bent over, panting heavily.
Xin Yu pouted. It was only two kilometers, but it was definitely a challenge for Yuanzi.
"You still have to help me submit my resume and introduce me to part-time jobs. How can you not go to work?!"
Xin Yu supported Yuanzi, putting on a pitiful act, while the latter sighed deeply.
After a day of studying, Xin Yu quickly immersed herself in her new studies. She adapted quickly to her new class and classmates, including Gao Min's occasional eye-rolls.
Sigh, this is so inexplicably provoking her!
"Xin Yu, does Professor Donghua pay you a lot of money every month? Why didn't you use that Chanel bag you had yesterday that's worth at least six figures?!" Gao Min said sarcastically.
The previously noisy break suddenly fell silent as everyone turned to look at Xin Yu.
Some were inquisitive, some curious, and some disdainful.
Xin Yu's lips twitched slightly at Gao Min's words. Although she was extremely impatient with her, she still politely smiled and said softly, "Asking about income and expenses on our second meeting isn't very polite, is it?"
Gao Min was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Xin Yu to be so blunt. Well, she wouldn't hold back then. "What's so hard about it? We're all penniless students. But... I heard that yesterday evening, a man in black slipped from the second floor of the dormitory into a luxury car parked on the roadside."
"Gao Min..." Xu Hui hesitated, finally stammering, "That was just an exaggeration by the art students. We didn't see it with our own eyes."
"I think Xin Yu might know. Didn't she point at the balcony and talk about her brother?" Gao Min looked at Xin Yu provocatively, her disdain undisguised.
"I don't know what you're talking about," Xin Yu said, looking down at her book, too lazy to bother with such an unreasonable person. "I don't know what I'm talking about... Humph!" Gao Min was exasperated, feeling like she'd punched a pillow. She hadn't expected Xin Yu to be so thick-skinned, acting as if nothing was wrong. Her eyes glared, and her voice was sharp, "I was just asking if that person is your biological brother or your lover?"
"So there are so many kinds of brothers. Looks like you really know a thing or two, Gao Min." Xin Yu's bright black eyes flashed with understanding, yet also a hint of grievance.
"Haha..." A laugh from someone broke the silence, and the whole classroom erupted in laughter and whispers.
"You!" Gao Min jumped up, furious.
Xu Hui quickly pulled her back, then winked at Xin Yu, signaling her not to mind.
Xin Yu forced a smile, lowered her head to continue flipping through the book, her teeth clenched tightly. She thought to herself that she absolutely had to stay away from Mu Yichuan in the future, otherwise her sweetheart might end up as her husband…
"Wow, handsome guy…"
"So handsome!"
Hearing the sudden burst of excitement around her, Xin Yu breathed a long sigh of relief. Thankfully, everyone's attention had shifted.
"Xin Yu!"
