Chapter 128: with translation of chapter title

~7 min read 1,287 words

After Su Ruo was done, this time it wasn't just Director Chen; even that noble lady changed her expression. Her husband usually hates using power for personal gain the most.

If this matter reaches his ears, who knows what will happen.

Feng Xiran then stepped forward and said, "Sorry, classmate. My mother was also worried about me, so she wanted to swap beds with you. This is our fault; I hope you can forgive me."

After saying that, Feng Xiran also held out a box of chocolates to Su Ruo as an apology.

Feng Xiran put on an air of generosity and gentleness, but when Su Ruo was being bullied by her mother and the director just now, she didn't say a word.

Now that the situation could no longer be contained, she came out to play the victim; Su Ruo heartily despised such a saintly act.

"I don't like sweets, so no need for an apology. If you really feel embarrassed, just remember to keep your distance from me in the future."

Su Ruo gave Feng Xiran no face at all; after speaking, she immediately took off her shoes, got into bed, and drew the curtain to isolate herself in her own world.

After being refused, Feng Xiran's big eyes instantly filled with mist, becoming hazy.

She said to the other dormmates, "Did Su Ruo misunderstand? I really didn't mean to take her bed; my body is truly weak, the doctor said I can't do strenuous exercise, nor is it suitable for me to climb up and down."

A beautiful woman shedding tears always evokes extra pity, especially someone like Feng Xiran, a delicate woman like a willow in the wind.

The onlooking classmates initially thought Director Chen and the others shouldn't have snatched Su Ruo's bed, but seeing Feng Xiran like this, they suddenly wondered if Su Ruo was being too pushy—after all, it's just a bed; Feng Xiran, even if you give it up, what's the big deal?

Sun Yanni, who had been standing aside, stepped forward and said, "Feng Xiran, if you don't mind, you can have my bed."

Feng Xiran immediately smiled and thanked her: "Thank you, classmate." She then handed over the chocolate she was holding.

After receiving the chocolate, Sun Yanni felt excited; it was a fine item only available at foreign trade stores, something she had never seen before, let alone eaten.

Director Chen also said at this moment, "Everyone should learn from this classmate; definitely don't learn from those who are selfish and self-serving."

Su Ruo directly rolled her eyes, treating his words as a fart.

After the maid finished tidying up Feng Xiran's belongings, the noble lady kept giving instructions for a long time before leaving.

As soon as he left, the director immediately followed him. Before leaving, she gave Su Ruo's bed a fierce stare.

The onlooking students who had been watching the drama then dispersed.

Feng Xiran still wanted to give the chocolate to that tall girl.

But that girl only tossed off, "I don't eat sugar," and went straight back to her own bunk.

Feng Xiran's hand ended up awkwardly frozen in place.

Seeing this, Sun Yanni immediately said, "Guan Yue is just like that; don't take it to heart."

Feng Xiran then sheepishly withdrew her hand and said to Sun Yanni, "Since Guan Yue doesn't want it, I'll give it to you instead."

Upon hearing that, Sun Yanni happily took the candy, but she didn't notice the fleeting disgust in Feng Xiran's eyes.

After receiving Feng Xiran's things, Sun Yanni attended to her even more diligently, fetching water and meals, resembling a motherly figure.

By evening everyone had assembled; the last to arrive were a pair of twins with round faces, very good-looking.

After dinner, since there were no classes, everyone busied themselves with their own affairs.

At this point, Feng Xiran said, "It's fate that we're all gathered here; my health is poor, so I hope everyone will look after me more in the future."

Feng Xiran said this while taking out five exquisite small boxes, distributing one to each person; when it came to Su Ruo's turn, she didn't hesitate, directly taking one and stuffing it into Su Ruo's hand.

Inside was a coin, along with an exquisite small gourd.

Su Ruo was about to return it when Feng Yanni had already opened the box.

After seeing what was inside, the system immediately shouted, "Borrow Luck Money, Host, you'd better return this quickly; otherwise, given time, she'll be able to borrow your luck."

Su Ruo hadn't intended to accept it anyway; at this moment her expression immediately turned ugly. Feng Xiran definitely has a problem, though she doesn't yet know what she intends to do.

Su Ruo was about to return it, but someone had already done so first.

Guan Yue said, "I don't like accepting things from others, and I dislike owing favors even more; I can't take this, so take it back."

Guan Yue spoke bluntly, giving Feng Xiran no chance to refuse, and then went back to reading her book.

Su Ruo looked at Guan Yue, wondering whether all this was merely a coincidence or whether Guan Yue had also noticed something.

But for some reason, when Su Ruo looked at Guan Yue, she always felt an aura of immortality.

Su Ruo directly pushed the box back, saying, "Your things, I don't want them. I'm petty and hold grudges, so you don't need to give me anything; just don't show up in front of me again from now on."

Feng Xiran's expression turned extremely ugly.

Su Ruo, however, paid her no heed; after all, whether Feng Xiran is happy or not is none of her business.

The twins, seeing this, also returned their own small boxes, feeling deep down that something was off.

This action instantly made Feng Xiran's face change with anger, but she couldn't directly lash out; she hated Su Ruo to the core.

If it weren't for Su Ruo, she wouldn't have gone so smoothly.

Only Sun Yanni, seeing that Su Ruo and the others refused to take the five small gourds, took them all, hung them on herself, and they jingled with every step.

This move left even 001 speechless.

It said, "These gourds and silver money are originally for stealing people's luck; now your roommate has put on five of them at once, and who knows how unlucky she'll become."

Upon hearing that, Su Ruo had no reaction either; this was Sun Yanni's choice and had nothing to do with him.

And 001's words came true quickly; that night, when Sun Yanni went to the bathroom, she accidentally tripped on a step and knocked out two front teeth.

When Sun Yanni was carried back, mouth full of blood, even Su Ruo was startled.

Fortunately, Yan Ni's wound wasn't deep, the bleeding soon stopped, but the teeth she knocked out will never grow back.

Sun Yanni was already not good-looking; now missing a tooth, she speaks with a lisp, looking utterly ridiculous.

The dormmates endured for a long time before they could keep from laughing out loud.

Sun Yanni felt heartbroken, clutching the knocked-out teeth and crying all night; the next morning, upon waking, her eyes were swollen, making her look even more ridiculous.

The next day, Su Ruo went to class; the instructor was a sixty- or seventy-year-old old man who looked very stern, with an air of immortality.

He lectured nonstop from the podium; fortunately, Su Ruo had been reading during this period, otherwise many of his words might have been incomprehensible now.

In class, Su Ruo studied knowledge eagerly; she paid no attention whatsoever to Feng Xiran's glances cast her way.
