CH 8

In the novel, Jiang Xingyuan did not live in school dormitory.

Ruan Yingyin looked at Jiang Xingyuan who was carrying a suitcase, and her hand shook. The cardboard box she was holding in her arms almost fell to the ground.

She hurriedly lifted her right leg and used her thigh against the falling carton to barely hold it.

The sun was about to set and almost all the students in the school had left, leaving only few occasional residential students to wander around the campus.

Today’s evening sunset was bright red, hanging at the corner of the sky, the afternoon sunlight was tinted with crimson, enveloping the two people underneath.

Jiang Xingyuan hooked his lips upward, the bangs covering his forehead created shadow under his eyes, but still could not hide the shady eyes.

He stopped a few steps away from Ruan Yingyin. Leaning the weight of his body against the suitcase, he swept Ruan Yingyin up and down slightly and asked with an oblique smile, “taking a percel?”

Ruan Yingyin pursed her lips and did not answer. She tightened her arms clutching the cardboard box in her hand, and was about to walk around Jiang Xingyuan towards the dormitory building.

But Jiang Xingyuan immediately blocked in front of her and pointed out the box on the ground, “If you want to leave, move that box on the ground together.”

The box on the ground was filled with mineral water. Ruan Yingyin just tried to lift it but couldn’t even move it let alone lifting it up.

Jiang Xingyuan’s such unusual request made it sure for her that he saw her struggling from afar earlier and made this request to make things difficult for Ruan Yingyin.

She bit her lip and simply put the box in her arms on the ground. Gently shaking her arm that was a little sore, she met Jiang Xingyuan’s eyes and said, “I can’t move it.”

“I don’t care if you can move it or not.” Jiang Xingyuan said with no sympathy while snickering, “how heavy would it be that you can’t move it? I won’t buy such bullshit nonsense.”

After saying that, he simply let go of the suitcase and walked towards Ruan Yingyin.

Ruan Yingyin subconsciously backed up few steps, her back touching the door of the mailroom in nervousness.

Jiang Xingyuan walked to the box of mineral water, bent down and easily lifted it up.

Seeing him lifting the box, Ruan Yingyin thought he was going to hit her so she subconsciously shrank her head, her two hands blocking the front of the face. The result was Jiang Xingyuan didn’t do anything and simply lifted the box of mineral water up.

Ruan Yingyin was confused.

Jiang Xingyuan carried the box to Ruan Yingyin. Lowering his head, his eyes slightly flashed as he said with a smile that can make anyone uncomfortable, “Take it.”

Ruan Yingyin instantly understood what Jiang Xingyuan meant. She hurriedly shook her head and hid her hand behind her as she said with her head down, “I can’t hold it, I’ll go borrow a cart later.”

Jiang Xingyuan’s smile turned morbid “Then, as your deskmate, I will help you. If you still don’t appreciate my help, then I will put the box on your shoulders.”

Ruan Yingyin’s shoulders, that looked showy and weak, trembled.

He flashed a bloodthirsty smiled that was filled with pleasure seeing her scared expression. Ruan Yingyin knew if she didn’t answer now, he would really put the box on her shoulders.

Just as Jiang Xingyuan was about to put the box on Ruan Yingyin’s shoulders, Liang Yuan hurriedly ran over and exclaimed loudly, “Jiang Xingyuan! What are you doing?”

Jiang Xingyuan’s hand paused and he turned his head to give a scornful look at Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan’s hair was a bit messy, but the sunny and handsome face in the evening sun was particularly appealing.

Although Ruan Yingyin knew that he is the male protagonist and is Yang Qingwei’s future boyfriend, whom she wanted to avoid at every cost, she is still very grateful for him appearing at the moment.

Jiang Xingyuan slowly spit out the name and a few words, “Liang Yuan, you really have a dark soul.”

The next second, he slightly tilted his head and revealed a wicked smile as he said, “and you’re blind enough to not see that I’m cultivating feelings with my deskmate.”

Ruan Yingyin knew that Liang Yuan wanted to help her, so she quickly spoke up to clear the situation to Liang Yuan, not before taking two steps away from Jiang Xingyuan, “I can’t lift the box, so classmate Jiang wanted to helped me take the box and wanted to put it on my shoulder, but I actually wanted to use the cart.”

Ruan Yingyin’s skin was very white and crystal clear. Even without any makeup, her skin were shining in the sunset.

Her pupils were so dark and bright that Liang Yuan could find his own reflection in them. When she speaks, it won’t be too fast or slow. And her voice was also soft, inexplicably making Liang Yuan feel that at that moment she was very afraid.

Liang Yuan looked down at Ruan Yingyin and smiled gently “It’s okay, I’ll help you move them.”

Seeing the two of them exchanging glances like lover’s, the hand of Jiang Xingyuan holding the cardboard box slightly tightened, as if a storm was brewing in the eyes.

Liang Yuan looked at Jiang Xingyuan gloomily and walked to him as he said, “Give me Ruan Yingyin’s box.”

“You have your own deskmate. Go help her if you want, don’t need to help my deskmate.”

Done saying, Jiang Xingyuan carried the box of mineral water, and grabbed the box of glass jars on the way and put them on top of each other before lifting them together.

After doing that, Jiang Xingyuan stared at Ruan Yingyin and said in a slightly commanding tone, “Ruan Yingyin, you can at least move the suitcase, right?”

Ruan Yingyin was surprised and didn’t know how things suddenly came to this point.

But the things were already in Jiang Xingyuan’s hands, she gently exhaled a breath, and did not dare to say anything more to Liang Yuan and just gave a smile, “Thank you.”

When Ruan Yingyin smiled, her lips gently opened in a soft arc, and her eyes looked even more beautiful and amazing.

Liang Yuan was dazed and looked somewhat lost in thought, he subconsciously shook his head seeing Ruan Yingyin leaving.

Ruan Yingyin collected the suitcase, and quickly chased Jiang Xingyuan, leaving Liang Yuan alone with his thoughts.

Ruan Yingyin’s dormitory was on the second floor, around the corner. Since it was girls’ dormitory, boys weren’t allowed inside, unless it was extremely necessary.

So since Jiang Xingyuan was carrying something for Ruan Yingyin, the host Aunt of the dormitory permitted him to enter.

Jiang Xingyuan carried the two boxes on the second floor, and stood at the door of Ruan Yingyin’s dormitory, waiting for her to open it.

Ruan Yingyin touched the key in her pocket and was reluctant to take it out, so she whispered, “Classmate Jiang, you can just leave the things at the door.”

Jiang Xingyuan’s brushed his tongue against his teeth and said, “If I’m going to help, I will help till the end. Open the door.”

Ruan Yingyin was still very hesitant.

She still remembered the memory of the scene in the novel when Jiang Xingyuan retielated against Ruan Yingyin, it was bloody and ruthless.

She obviously was not willing to let Jiang Xingyuan see her room.

But Jiang Xingyuan is definitely not a patient person. His eyes swept on the closed door as he pressured her, “Open the door or I will kick it open.”

Ruan Yingyin hurriedly took out the key and opened the door.

Jiang Xingyuan snorted lightly and walked in, placing the things in his hand casually by the door.

He glanced around with a little doubt in his eyes.

The bedroom was not too big, and not too small either. It had a comfortable beige and white style.

The room wass exceptionally neat and tidy, all the big and small things were placed orderly, even the quilt was folded into a perfect square shape.

Only, some parts of the room have hole-like furnishings, which were stuffed with packets of snacks, and they were lot.

The ‘Ruan Yingyin’ he used to know was not like this, ‘Ruan Yingyin’ is not a person who loves to clean up at all.

Jiang Xingyuan scanned the room and finally dropped his gaze on Ruan Yingyin.

She stood straight and looked at him with some uneasiness from the side.

He now had a strange feeling in his heart that Ruan Yingyin was different in this life. Except for this face which was the same as in his previous life.

What went wrong? Did the world change after he was reborn? But except for Ruan Yingyin, everyone else was the same as he remembered.

Ruan Yingyin saw that Jiang Xingyuan was silent and did not leave, so she asked, “Do you want to drink water?”

This is in fact a euphemism for “driving away”.

Jiang Xingyuan looked at her with a smile on his face, “Sure.”

Then he sat directly on Ruan Yingyin’s snow-white bed.

Ruan Yingyin’s heart trembled, trying to control the scream in her throat that was about to burst out. Her hands were shaking as she poured water for Jiang Xingyuan.

Any silver fox hamster, can not stand their own nest, being touched by someone else.

What’s more, Ruan Yingyin is a silver fox hamster, who loves cleanliness. It was to the point that she could be said to have mysophobia.

After Jiang Xingyuan leaves, she must change the bed sheets.

Jiang Xingyuan just sat down not long when the phone suddenly rang.

He listened to the other side’s words and frowned, “Okay, I know.” Then he hung up the phone and stood up.

Ruan Yingyin held a glass of water, and tilted her head to look at him. It took a great deal of effort to suppress the joy in her eyes, “you are leaving?”

Jiang Xingyuan looked at her, stuffed the phone into his pocket and said, “Ruan Yingyin, I helped you move your things today, so you have to repay me in the future. One glass of water is not enough.”

Ruan Yingyin pursed her lips and said, “Then I’ll send you a red packet.”

Jiang Xingyuan said coldly, “I’m not in short of money. Ask me on a meal sometime.”

After saying that, he threw open the door and left.

Ruan Yingyin breathed a sigh of relief and leaned over the table to slowly drink the water. Then, she took off her school uniform and changed the sheets and bedcovers that she had slept on the night before.

She tidied up the messy parts of the room, and then took the scissors and unpacked the delivery boxes.

The mineral water was put into the refrigerator of the dormitory, and the glass jars taken out one by one by her. She washed and dried them, before placing them in a row on the table.

This time Ruan Yingyin bought a total of 30 glass jars. She poured all the mineral water into the glass jars.

The glass jars were not big, almost 20cm or so.

After the water was poured, Ruan Yingyin used a small machine bought long ago, and used it to seal up the mouth of the jars.

After all this, Ruan Yingyin breathed a sigh of relief and put the 30 glass jars into her nest.

Then she ran to take a quick shower and wash her hair and clothes, and finally climbed up on the bed, where the jars were kept.

The glass jars were scattered all around her.

She would sleep with these glass jars and by tomorrow morning, the water inside the jars would turn into some kind of sticky water, like glycerine.

These waters were not only good for hydration, but also have a powerful whitening effect and no side effects.

Ruan Yingyin discovered this method before transmigrating into the novel. When she became human in her previous life, she had no money, no skill, and no place to stay. Her life was very hard at that time. Later, she discovered that she actually has a golden finger.

It was discovered by accident, she drank a mouthful of water before going to bed. Because she was too sleepy, she didn’t drink all the mineral water in the glass and casually put it beside her before falling asleep.

The next day when she got up, she found that the mineral water changed differently.

The water became viscous, it was slightly glowing, and turned into a very nice liquid.

She was curious, so she experimented with this mineral water and found that after rubbing it on, it could make the users skin colour brighter.

She rubbed it on a plant in the tub, and the green plant became more green.

She rubbed the roses she bought with the water, and the roses became more red.

She ended up giving it to a girl with a waxy face, only to be approached a month later by the same girl whose skin was obviously much fairer and asked her where she bought it from.

After that, Ruan Yingyin began to sell it.

Her store had always been in short supply and sales were overwhelming everyday because of the liquid’s popularity.

With that, she bought her own villa, her own little nest.

This time, when she came into the novel, she thought her ability might be gone.

As a result, a few days ago, she tried it and the ability was still there.

Ruan Yingyin opened her arms and hugged these glass jars. With a little sweet smile on her lips, she closed her eyes to sleep.

After she slept, a crystal clear white light flooded from her body, these lights were difficult to be seen, but they do exist.

They appeared at first, and the moment they appeared, they were immediately absorbed by the water in the glass jars.
