“This fried rice noodles are pretty tasty.”
Inside the room, Gong Nanxue ate the fried noodles Bai Rourou had made, her mood somewhat complicated.
She still didn’t quite know how to treat Bai Rourou.
That day at the hotel, their honest confrontation had struck her deeply.
More importantly, recently she found herself unable to stop thinking about Bai Rourou.
At night, she even dreamt about being together with her!
What did that mean?
Didn’t it mean she wasn’t rejecting Bai Rourou?
She could even say that she had begun to somewhat like this poor girl who constantly devoted herself to her.
“Sigh~”
Gong Nanxue suddenly sighed.
On the surface, she acted as usual, but in reality, this was her last resort.
Just now, she had quickly shut the door at the entrance, not knowing what to say, afraid of saying the wrong thing.
Now that things had come to this, it was better to just pretend she knew nothing.
Take it easy and let things be.
For now—let’s just eat.
In the blink of an eye, the military training (Junjun) parade ceremony arrived.
Since Bai Rourou had a good relationship with the counselor, and Gong Nanxue secretly had some backing from higher school leaders, both of them had managed to skip the military training.
Watching a crowd on the playground sweat profusely as they lined up in formation, standing under the scorching sun, showing the school leaders the results of their military training.
Well, calling it “results” was really just a joke.
To cut costs, the school leaders didn’t invite military instructors from the military district.
Instead, they hired senior students who had served two years as conscripts to act as trainers.
Only the chief instructor was genuinely invited from the military district.
The training that resulted was nothing but a mess, purely done to fulfill the requirement.
With the military training parade over, Bai Rourou officially began her university life with tuition fees of thirty thousand yuan per year.
“Nan Jie, we’re about to be late!”
The girl held out freshly steamed white buns and poured freshly made soy milk into a thermos cup.
“All right, all right.”
Gong Nanxue came out of the bedroom and saw the breakfast the girl had prepared.
“Did you steam these buns yourself?”
“Mm-hmm, they’re soft and sweet.”
The girl was already eating one.
“Then I’ll take two and eat on the way. Let’s go to the teaching building.”
Time was tight, though riding the electric scooter saved some time.
“There’s also soy milk.”
Soon, the two arrived at a small electric scooter.
Naturally, Gong Nanxue rode and gave Bai Rourou a lift.
Weaving through the crowd, they quickly reached the teaching building.
The time froze at 7:55.
They took another three minutes to get to the classroom, cutting it very close.
Today, Bai Rourou witnessed firsthand that Gong Nanxue had a habit of sleeping in.
She had woken her up at seven but had dawdled until half-past seven before finally getting up.
Changing and washing up afterward was very rushed.
“Nan Jie, you have to eat breakfast or your stomach will feel terrible.”
“This is the soy milk you made?”
Gong Nanxue took the thermos, and upon opening it, a strong soy aroma wafted out.
“Mm-hmm, I filtered it five or six times, very smooth, and I added some sugar.”
The girl leaned close and whispered softly, her warm breath brushing Gong Nanxue’s ear.
With the faint fragrance drifting in, a faint blush quietly appeared on Gong Nanxue’s delicate face.
“Don’t lean so close. Class is starting.”
Gong Nanxue, who had never been in love before, replied stiffly.
“Oh.”
The girl, a little disappointed, moved back, careful not to upset her.
Seeing this, Gong Nanxue suddenly felt a pang of melancholy.
Deep down, she hoped Rourou would be close to her.
“Hello, students. I’m your Advanced Mathematics teacher. Today is the first day, so let’s start with attendance…”
A middle-aged man walked onto the podium carrying a textbook.
The classroom gradually quieted down.
Bai Rourou and Gong Nanxue stopped eating their breakfast.
Because they were late, they had to sit in the front row.
This was a common problem in private schools—students usually preferred to sit in the back.
Obviously, sitting in the front row, and being two stunningly beautiful girls, naturally drew the teacher’s attention.
During class, both were called upon to answer questions right away.
“Such beautiful girls, how have I never heard of them before?”
“Yeah, I’ve never seen such pretty students during military training. I think they’re from Finance Class 2?”
“Does our class have such pretty girls? I didn’t see them during military training.”
There were quiet murmurs nearby.
Though the voices were low, some of it drifted into Bai Rourou and Gong Nanxue’s ears.
Unintentionally, they felt a little awkward.
No matter what, they had both skipped military training, and if that got exposed, it would surely stir resentment.
“Lately, I feel like I’m changing every day.”
Bai Rourou propped her cheeks with both hands, staring blankly at the blackboard and the teacher ahead.
Though she had been here a month and had changed somewhat, it wasn’t very obvious.
But in the past half-month, the changes had been huge—she was getting more and more beautiful.
Ever since that day when Cai Jinger bullied her, the transformation had accelerated.
Working at Moonflower Little Garden recently had also improved her appearance quite a bit.
“Could it be that my soul has some special traits? Now that it’s fully merged with this body, it’s started optimizing it?”
The original body wasn’t bad to begin with.
After repeated optimizations during this period, if she dressed up properly, calling her a heavenly beauty wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
Looking at the clients at Moonflower Little Garden being utterly captivated by her was proof of her current charm.
The resilient, innocent little white flower persona was so lovable~
“But Gong Nanxue has no interest in me at all.”
This troubled Bai Rourou.
Whenever she got a little closer, she was told to back off.
Thinking about it, even Cai Jinger, such an absolute beauty, had pursued her for years without success.
With a steel-like straight personality, even with her natural charm and alluring scent, it would take a long time to succeed.
“Well, at least she hasn’t driven me away yet. Whether she likes me or not doesn’t affect me completing my tasks.”
Soon, the class ended, and several boys came over, wanting to exchange contact information.
All of them approached Bai Rourou.
Choosing the finance major, their families obviously had some capital.
At least they had the confidence to ask for contact info, meaning they were from fairly well-off households.
Bai Rourou naturally refused softly and politely.
However, her gentle and tender voice, along with her fragile demeanor, only attracted the boys more.
Maybe some boys thought Bai Rourou was easy to talk to, so even when she refused, they lingered and chatted a bit more.
“Annoying, right? Rourou already said she doesn’t want to add you, so why don’t you scram?”
Gong Nanxue abruptly stood up and scolded loudly.
Her voice instantly drew the attention of the entire classroom.
The boys’ faces flushed red.
Under the intense stares, they felt helpless, said nothing, and slunk away.
“Nan Jie, you were so cool just now!”
The girl excitedly leaned closer, whispering, “You scared them all away!”
“N-no, it’s nothing.”
Gong Nanxue noticed the stares and sat down awkwardly.
She didn’t know what had come over her.
Seeing those boys pestering Rourou sparked an unexplained fury that suddenly exploded.
“Anyway, thank you, Nan Jie.”
The girl’s clear, soft eyes sparkled, making Gong Nanxue unable to look away.
She really liked those eyes—moist and pure, faintly reflecting her own image, as if the other person’s entire world was filled with just her.
“Rourou, has anyone ever told you your eyes are especially beautiful?”
“Huh?”
The girl blinked, a little confused by the sudden change in topic.
But she still replied, “Quite a few people, actually. Nan Jie, your friend Cai Jinger also said my eyes are pretty.”
“Her, huh.”
Gong Nanxue subconsciously frowned.
Cai Jinger hadn’t been in touch with her much lately—just chatting casually on the phone.
Is she really so concerned after investing in a finance company?
“Forget it, let’s eat breakfast.”
The girl blinked in confusion.
Why did Nan Jie’s mood seem to have soured again?
