Chapter 154: A Lamp in the Darkness

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Zheng Yue didn’t expect to hear Yang Xin and Leng Yan’s discussion about her in the washroom. When she heard them say that she had wasted Murong Qiao’s kindness, she immediately felt a lump in her throat, making it difficult for her to swallow.

Hearing Yang Xin and Leng Yan’s voices outside, Zheng Yue really wanted to open the door on the spot and throw this tip in their faces, telling them firmly that she didn’t want their rotten kindness.

However, her rationality brought Zheng Yue back to reality. Looking at the money in her hand that she really needed, Zheng Yue finally bit her lip silently and did not say anything.

She stayed in the washroom and didn’t make a sound. She only pushed open the door and walked out after Yang Xin and Leng Yan left.

Although she really wanted to do that, reality did not allow her to vent her anger.

At night, when everyone returned to the dormitory, they were chatting happily about today’s interesting events when the door was suddenly pushed open. Everyone looked at Zheng Yue standing at the door and couldn’t help but stop talking.

The entire dormitory became abnormally quiet. The three of them looked at Zheng Yue, who was standing at the door, at the same time. For a moment, no one said anything.

Zheng Yue felt the gazes of the three of them on her, but didn’t say anything. She only pursed her lips tightly and walked to her bed silently. She shrank in and pulled the bed curtain tightly.

She seemed to be out of place in this dormitory as she hid in her own small world.

At the thought that she had bumped into her roommates repeatedly when she was working today, Zheng Yue finally felt safe after pulling the bed curtain until there was no light coming in. Then, she deceived herself and put on her earphones, not wanting to hear them discussing her.

Seeing Zheng Yue return, Yang Xin and Leng Yan didn’t say anything else and went to do their own things. Murong Qiao saw Zheng Yue’s series of reactions from pushing the door open to the bed.

Seeing Zheng Yue shrink into her bed without saying a word, Yang Xin curled her lips and didn’t say anything about today.

As night fell, the few of them returned to their beds and prepared to sleep, but Zheng Yue’s bed curtain was still glowing.

Zheng Yue was studying.

After a day of work, Zheng Yue finally welcomed her real study time. However, when she thought of her embarrassing experience today, she felt terrible.

As she wrote down the notes she had yet to finish today, her hot tears dripped onto the book again and couldn’t be stopped.

Zheng Yue curled up in her bed, studying and observing the commotion outside. It was only when she felt that everyone had gone to bed that she slowly lifted the curtains and crawled out, preparing to wash up and sleep.

However, the lights in the dormitory were off, and it was dark so she could not see anything clearly. Zheng Yue searched for a long time but couldn’t find what she wanted. While she was anxious, the grievance seemed to have worsened, and her tears welled up again.

In the darkness, there was a soft click.

Faint lights appeared overhead.

Zheng Yue slowly looked up and saw a warm yellow lamp sandwiched by the bed. It shed some light and helped her illuminate a space. It was Murong Qiao, who was also not asleep, sitting on the bed and looking at her.

The light seemed to burn Zheng Yue’s heart with warmth, making her feel a little warm. However, when she realized that she had been seen in such a sorry state, she couldn’t help but feel embarrassed and cower.

She hurriedly reached out and wiped the tears off her face when she heard Murong Qiao’s soft voice.

“Don’t care about the gazes and words of others.” Murong Qiao spoke to her gently. “You’re already outstanding enough.”

Murong Qiao’s tone was serious, and his gaze was firm and warm.

“Those unkind words are just stumbling blocks on your path of hard work. You just have to be firm with your goal.” Murong Qiao’s voice was very soft, but it landed clearly and firmly in Zheng Yue’s ears, making her heart tremble.

Zheng Yue looked up at Murong Qiao, who was sitting on the bed, in a daze. The grievance in her heart seemed to have been soothed by a pair of warm hands. At this moment, she no longer had the urge to cry.

Hearing Murong Qiao’s encouragement, Zheng Yue suddenly felt a surge of courage in her heart.

Right on the heels of that, she remembered that Murong Qiao had ordered food for her as usual today. She did not show any signs of looking down on her at all, and that expensive tip made Zheng Yue suddenly change her opinion of Murong Qiao.

Murong Qiao and Yang Xin were different from Leng Yan. She didn’t look down on her and even encouraged her.

Zheng Yue looked at Murong Qiao’s gentle eyes and nodded heavily. Then, without saying anything, she turned around and went to wash up. However, her surroundings were no longer dark. They were already illuminated by the warm yellow light.

This lamp also dispelled the darkness in Zheng Yue’s heart.

In the blink of an eye, the next day arrived. Zheng Yue seemed to have forgotten the embarrassing incident yesterday and went to the canteen with everyone with her usual expression.

The few of them found a table and sat down to eat today’s lunch.

“Try this.” Murong Qiao picked up a few thick pieces of meat and placed them on Zheng Yue’s plate.

Unlike the others, Zheng Yue always ordered some vegetables to save money.

Zheng Yue was stunned for a moment and immediately wanted to refuse. She looked up and saw Murong Qiao adding some food to the other two people’s plates as well. Then, she nodded silently and ate the piece of meat without refusing.

It was normal for girls to share food. When the other two saw Murong Qiao give the pieces of meat to Zheng Yue, they didn’t say anything. They knew that Murong Qiao was doing this to take care of her.

Their relationship seemed to have returned to normal, but some subtle changes that were difficult to notice had happened.

Hui University’s classes will end on Friday. Murong Qiao planned to take this time to return home.

“Third Brother, I’m coming.” Murong Qiao jogged to Murong Chuan.

The sun was a little hot in the cloudless sky, and her face was a little red.

Knowing that Murong Qiao was going home, Murong Chuan also decided to go back with her today. The two of them agreed to meet here.

“There’s no hurry.” He glanced at his watch. Murong Qiao had even arrived ten minutes earlier.

As he spoke, Murong Chuan raised his umbrella and enveloped Murong Qiao in the shadows. He walked side by side with her in the direction of the car.

The scorching sunlight disappeared. Murong Qiao belatedly looked at the umbrella above her head and then at the expressionless Murong Chuan. She suddenly felt that Murong Chuan’s meticulousness was always discovered accidentally.

Murong Chuan’s car was parked not far away. The two of them arrived after a few steps.

Unlike Murong Chen, Murong Chuan was more used to driving by himself. He started the car in the driver’s seat and turned on the air conditioner.

Perhaps it was because the temperature of the air conditioner was too comfortable, or perhaps it was because the driver’s skill was too smooth, Murong Qiao fell asleep in the front passenger seat.

It was not until they returned home that Murong Chuan woke her up.

Murong Qiao rubbed her eyes. She had yet to wake up from her sleep. After getting out of the car in a daze, she saw her Big Brother, Murong Chen, walking over.

“Big Brother?” She called out subconsciously, and her body pounced into Murong Chen’s open arms faster than her brain.

Murong Chen saw the smile on Murong Qiao’s face. Seeing that she was still sleepy, he tapped her head with his finger. It was not very forceful, but it was very doting.

Speaking of which, this was the first time Murong Qiao had returned home since university. Murong Chen had missed her a lot recently.

“Qiaoqiao, welcome home..”
