Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“But someone said that you came from a poor county and couldn’t afford that piano. Was that piano bought by the person who sent you supper today?”
When they came out of the teaching building, they saw the two well-dressed, good-looking men with a strong aura. They knew that the two of them were not simple at first glance.
Tan Xingyue suddenly raised her head and looked at the person who had spoken. Her eyes were no longer as calm as before. Instead, they were filled with dissatisfaction and seriousness.
“Although we came from the Ancient Market Town, Wen Xin has never relied on anyone. She bought the piano, it has nothing to do with anyone else.
When they saw Tan Xingyue’s expression suddenly change, they paused eating. They did not expect that a casual question would make Tan Xingyue unhappy.
“We’re just asking casually. We don’t have any other intentions. If we offended you, we’re sorry.”
The girl who asked the question just now had an ugly expression. She was just curious and made some wild guesses. After all, a piano worth more than 30 million yuan could not be bought just like that.
Gu Yifei saw that both of their expressions were not very good, so she immediately said something to ease the atmosphere.
” Aiya, we are all good friends. There is no need for us to be unhappy over this matter. Don’t make wild guesses about Wen Xin’s matter. Everyone has their own little secrets, and we do no need to dig into those little secrets, don’t you think so?”
“Of course. We’re all classmates. Tan Xingyue, don’t be unhappy about this.”
Now that the people at the side saw Gu Yifei trying to ease the atmosphere, they also chimed in. They were worried that this small matter would cause tension.
“Actually, there’s nothing strange about it. It’s just a piano. Although it’s expensive, I can afford it. Don’t listen to other people’s wild guesses. There’s no need.”
“You don’t have to believe everything. Seeing isn’t necessarily believing! ”
Wen Xin wrapped her hair in a towel and walked out of the bathroom. She glanced at the students around her. She knew that Tan Xingyue was very happy with her classmates, so she did not want to upset her over such a small matter.
The crowd suddenly felt enlightened when they heard Wen Xin’s overbearing words. That’s right, she had the money to buy it, so why did she have to explain it to them?
“Wen Xin, you’re so domineering. I like you so much.”
The short girl standing behind looked at Wen Xin and said timidly. She had never thought that the first time she confessed her love would be to a girl.
Wen Xin, who was arranging the things that Mu Chengxi had brought for her, heard the confession. She turned her head and smiled faintly. She took a piece of chocolate from the box and handed it to her.
“I’ll have to trouble you to take care of Xingyue in the future!”
Wen Xin did not like to make friends, but she was willing to control her emotions and communicate with them as much as possible so that they would treat Tan Xingyue well.
Seeing how Wen Xin’s chocolates had changed, some girls could not help but look at Wen Xin’s bucket of chocolates. They hesitated for a moment before speaking softly.
“Erm, Wen Xin, can you give me a piece of chocolate? They all said your chocolate tastes special, like something they’ve never tasted before. I haven’t eaten it before. Can I try it?”
“Sure.” Wen Xin picked up the bucket of chocolate and handed it to them. Each took a piece from the bucket and placed it in their pockets like a treasure.
“This chocolate is easier to melt. Put it in your pocket, and it will melt in a while.” Wen Xin looked at them and chuckled, in a good mood.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the dormitory was very harmonious. They only left when the dormitory manager came up to remind them to go to sleep.
After everyone had left, Wen Xin their cups and brewed a cup of hawthorn water and a cup of honey water. She handed the hawthorn water to Tan Xingyue.
“Drink this before you sleep. Otherwise, you won’t be able to sleep if your stomach is bloated.”
Tan Xingyue laid on the bed and took the hawthorn water from Wen Xin. Her beautiful eyes curved into crescents as she smiled and said to Wen Xin in a sweet voice,” Thank you for being there.”
Looking at the mushy Tan Xingyue, Wen Xin drank a mouthful of honey water and rubbed the top of Tan Xingyue’s head.
“Drink up and go to sleep.”
Wen Xin specially brewed hawthorn cream with hawthorn and other herbs. It was very effective in relieving bloated stomachs after meals. After Tan Xingyue drank it, the bloated feeling in her stomach disappeared, and she felt very comfortable.
The other two watched Wen Xin and Tan Xingyue’s interaction and rubbed their stomachs unconsciously.
” Wen Xin, every time I see you pampering Tan Xingyue, I feel like I’m seeing a CEO pampering his wife. It’s so sweet that we’re all jealous.”
“Jealous of what? Jealous that no one made hawthorn water for you after you ate too much? Come down and soak yourself. Just put a spoonful in a cup of water.”
Wen Xin’s beautiful eyes carried a faint smile. She took the cups into the bathroom to wash them.
When the two heard Wen Xin wanted them to drink hawthorn water, they hurriedly climbed down from the bed and scooped two spoonfuls of hawthorn water as if they had found a treasure. They placed them in cups and added warm water.
They thought hawthorn water would be very delicious, but when they drank it, it was filled with the strong taste of Chinese medicine and a strong bitterness.
“Wen Xin, did we make a mistake? Why is it so bitter? And it smells like Chinese medicine. It’s not sweet at all!”
Tan Xingyue laid on the bed and looked at the two in pain. She smiled happily and said,” That is a Chinese medicine that helps digestion. You think hawthorn water tastes like sweet and sour hawthorn cake?”
“Yes, yes, yes. We thought it was that smell!” The two of them nodded vigorously. They thought that it would be sour and sweet.
“We saw that you enjoying it when you drank it, so we thought it was delicious.” Gu Yifei looked at the hawthorn water in her hand with grievance. She was in a dilemma now. Drinking it was too bitter. If she didn’t drink it, it would be a waste.
“She has been taking Chinese medicine since she was ten years old. She has been taking it for seven or eight years. Of course, she doesn’t think it’s bitter.
However, if you feel uncomfortable after overeating, I advise you to drink it. It’s good for you.”
Wen Xin placed the cup back and climbed onto the bed. She took out the medical book from under her pillow and began to study how to treat a person who had been overly frightened.
Gu Yifei and Miao Xianhe believed Wen Xin’s words very much. They raised the cups in their hands and downed them in one gulp. The bitter taste of Chinese medicine made them shiver.
The people from the dormitory next door returned to their dormitory and laid on their beds. Everyone looked at the chocolates in their hands. One of them suddenly exclaimed, “F*ck, a box of chocolates costs 40,000 dollars, and there are only eight pieces in it. Then Wen Xin’s bucket… I’ll go…”
Mu Sining stayed in a domitory not because her family was poor but because her home was not in Ice City. Her family’s financial situation was similar to the rich families in Ice City, but she was still shocked by the price of Wen Xin’s chocolates.
“Ning Ning, what did you say? How much is a box of chocolates?”
