In the following days, Bai Rourou did everything she could to finish her tasks quickly, hoping to free herself from Cai Jinger’s perverse methods of torment.
She constantly tried to deliver homemade bento boxes to Gong Nanxue.
However, because of the collar with the tracking device that Cai Jinger had forced her to wear, Bai Rourou didn’t dare to go to Gong Nanxue’s house in person. But where there’s a will, there’s a way.
Soon, Bai Rourou found a clever solution—after preparing the bento, she had a delivery person send it directly to Gong Nanxue’s home.
“Are you seriously not tired of this? Why do you keep sending me food?”
Gong Nanxue frowned as she looked back at Bai Rourou, who had followed her again, and said coldly, “I already told you, we are complete strangers now, with no connection whatsoever! I don’t want to be involved in your affairs. Whether you take care of yourself or not is none of my business. Besides, I find you dirty, so stop coming near me, alright?”
“But I just want to send you the meals you like.”
The girl’s expression looked a little humble, her voice small and timid.
“You always forget to eat when you’re gaming, so I make a meal and send it to you. Eating on time is good for your health.”
“I don’t need it!”
Gong Nanxue pushed the girl harshly, pressing her heavily against the wall, warning sharply, “I’m telling you, I won’t eat any of the food you make. I’m the one who’s dirty!”
After saying this, Gong Nanxue cast a disgusted glance at the collar hidden beneath Bai Rourou’s turtleneck before going to wash her hands, scrubbing them as if trying to rid herself of some filth.
The girl winced slightly from the impact but forced a smile and said, “Sister Nan, there’s really some misunderstanding between us. I didn’t do this willingly—it was forced upon me.”
“So what?”
Gong Nanxue remained cold and indifferent, shaking off her hands forcefully, as if deliberately flicking water droplets onto the girl’s face.
“What does it have to do with me? You’re just a pursuer, and now I’m making it clear there’s no chance between us. If you send food to my house again, don’t blame me for taking harsh measures!”
Having said that, Gong Nanxue left without hesitation.
How could Bai Rourou give up so easily?
In her eyes, Gong Nanxue was just putting on a tough front because she had eaten the meals Bai Rourou had sent.
It was just that all the bento boxes and delivery fees had to be paid out of her own pocket, and she was almost out of money.
“Only two dessert tasks left, three lunches, and six dinners, then it’s over. The hidden suffering points have already reached twenty-seven.”
Bai Rourou, exhausted, found an empty classroom to sit and rest.
This past week had been nonstop—constantly running between Cai Jinger and Gong Nanxue, especially having to pack and send those meals right under Cai Jinger’s watchful eyes.
Sometimes it was simply impossible, especially dinners, which were particularly difficult to manage.
“If I work hard, I’ll definitely finish.”
***
“Why are you sending food again!”
Gong Nanxue’s mood was complicated as she looked at the pink bento box in the delivery person’s hands.
She couldn’t understand why Bai Rourou was so stubborn about sending her food.
She hadn’t returned a single one of the bento boxes, and they had piled up to more than a dozen already.
Did Bai Rourou really think that if she kept sending meals, Gong Nanxue would forgive her?
She was obsessive about cleanliness!
Gong Nanxue’s patience with Bai Rourou was wearing thin.
If this kept up, she would be driven crazy by her persistence.
This time, Gong Nanxue didn’t eat the bento Bai Rourou sent.
Instead, she threw both the box and the food away.
“Sister Nan, you didn’t eat properly!”
The girl stood in front of her, looking serious.
“Not eating well will—”
“Shut up!”
Gong Nanxue’s impatience exploded, and she yelled harshly, “Get lost!”
In an instant, the girl’s face went pale from shock.
“I’m sorry, I just—”
“Get lost!”
Without waiting for Bai Rourou to respond, Gong Nanxue, now completely annoyed and angry, shoved her aside.
Caught off guard, Bai Rourou’s frail body was pushed to the ground.
Hearing the noise of her fall, Gong Nanxue paused for a moment before quickly speeding away.

“Rare to see you at the company.”
Cai Jinger looked surprised as she poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Gong Nanxue.
“I’ve been a bit troubled lately, so I came to chat with you.”
“Oh?”
Cai Jinger’s mouth opened in surprise.
“When you’re in a bad mood, don’t you usually go play racing games? Why aren’t you going now?”
“I just suddenly felt it wasn’t fun anymore.”
Gong Nanxue shook her head, then fell silent.
Cai Jinger could tell she didn’t even have the mood to talk.
So what was this bad mood about?
Cai Jinger thought for a moment and immediately had someone in mind—Bai Rourou.
It seemed Xue’er had already investigated at Yuehua Garden and was completely disappointed with Bai Rourou.
Thinking of this, Cai Jinger’s heart lifted, and a faint smirk crept onto her lips.
“The plan is almost ready, and it’s about time to find the right moment to execute it.”
Cai Jinger lightly twirled a pen in her hand, her beautiful eyes narrowing slightly.
Originally, the plan was to ruin Bai Rourou’s reputation so thoroughly that she would be cleared from Gong Nanxue’s side.
But now~
She wanted to imprison Bai Rourou at home and turn her into her slave.
Because of the time they spent together recently, Cai Jinger had actually become somewhat obsessed with Bai Rourou’s body.
That delicate temperament made her want to bully her badly.
It distracted Cai Jinger so much that she found herself occasionally zoning out while dealing with company files, her mind filled with thoughts of how to torment Bai Rourou that night.
“Is there someone you dislike?”
Cai Jinger coaxed, “I can help you deal with them.”
Gong Nanxue hesitated but shook her head.
If Cai Jinger got involved, she was afraid things would go too far against Bai Rourou, who had truly done a lot for her.
“By the way, I heard you rented a place outside, Jinger?”
“Yes.”
Cai Jinger nodded slightly.
“I have to run between school and company. It would be really inconvenient not to rent a place.”
“Can I come see it?”
“Of course.”
Thinking of some custom items she had just ordered, Cai Jinger’s mind immediately came up with a brilliant plan.
Bai Rourou liked Gong Nanxue very much, right?
This time, she would shatter Rourou’s dream of ‘Sister Nan’ completely, making her give up for good!
“Tomorrow is the weekend, isn’t it? Come over then, just give me a heads-up beforehand.”
“Where is it?”
Gong Nanxue asked curiously. “Can’t I come tonight?”
“Tonight’s a bit inconvenient, and the place is messy.”
“Alright then.”
It was just a casual remark. Gong Nanxue didn’t have a strong desire to visit Cai Jinger’s home anyway.
“You carry on with your work. I’m leaving.”
Gong Nanxue looked around, feeling no interest in these things.
She preferred a laid-back lifestyle.
“Take care.”
Cai Jinger waved her hand, watching Gong Nanxue’s retreating figure, and couldn’t help but smile widely.
She was already excited thinking about tomorrow’s game.
