Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Seeing that Huo Yichen was still standing in front of her, Murong Qiao finally let go of her worries.

“Then, I’ll reluctantly forgive you.” Murong Qiao’s voice gradually became softer.

She didn’t want to force him to change anything, but Huo Yichen had really gone overboard this time. He hadn’t replied for so long, which really worried her.

The girl’s voice was so soft that it couldn’t be any softer. Huo Yichen even felt a trace of guilt.

“There won’t be a next time,” Huo Yichen promised in a low voice.

After receiving the other party’s promise, Murong Qiao took out the gift she wanted to give him.

“This is for you.” Murong Qiao said as she handed him the small box.

She had taken a long time to choose the gift before deciding to give this to Huo Yichen.

Huo Yichen reached out to take it. When he opened the lid, he found a necklace.

The necklace had a squarish pendant hanging on the bottom of the chain. The metal texture should be cold to the touch, but it was a little warm. Perhaps it was because Nan Qiao had carried it in her pocket.

“It looks good,” Huo Yichen replied seriously. “Can you help me put it on?”

Murong Qiao didn’t expect him to make such a request. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded slightly.

She then reached out to take out the necklace, unclasped it, and tried to help him put it on. However, when she realized their height difference, she could only stand on tiptoe.

As a result, the distance between them shortened, so much so that she could even feel Huo Yichen’s hot breath.

It was so hot that she almost went limp.

“Done.” Murong Qiao’s trembling voice sounded in his ears.

The silver light reflected from the man’s good-looking collarbone into Murong Qiao’s pupils. She couldn’t help but look up at the necklace again. Her heartbeat was almost deafening.

It was quite good-looking.

After resolving the misunderstanding, Huo Yichen saved Murong Qiao’s contact in his new cell phone.

“Then I’ll go back first.” Murong Qiao waved goodbye to him.

After saying everything that needed to be said, Murong Qiao planned to go back to the dormitory to do her own thing. Hence, Huo Yichen walked her back to the dormitory as usual.

Huo Yichen nodded and watched Murong Qiao go upstairs.

The worry disappeared, and Murong Qiao’s footsteps became much lighter. She slowly went up to the third floor and returned to the dormitory.

However, after pushing open the door, Murong Qiao was surprised to see someone who shouldn’t be here.

Zheng Yue?

“Qiaoqiao, you’re back!” Yang Xin welcomed her back with her usual bear hug.

Murong Qiao hugged her back and let go. She pulled out her chair and sat down. She gave Yang Xin a look, clearly wondering why Zheng Yue was here.

“She said that she’s back to study.” Leng Yan didn’t hide it from others and explained bluntly.

Study? Although this was very reasonable, the timing was too strange.

Usually, afternoons without classes were Zheng Yue’s prime time for work. They usually wouldn’t be able to see this worker in the dormitory, but today was different. As soon as Murong Qiao entered, she saw Zheng Yue pursing her lips and staring coldly at the book in her hand, as if she could stare a hole through the textbook.

Right on the heels of that, before Murong Qiao could figure out why Zheng Yue was acting so abnormally, she heard sobbing coming from Zheng Yue’s side. Then, it became louder and louder. In the end, she saw her lying on the table, burying her head in her arms and bawling.

“Wu…” Zheng Yue suddenly cried.

This cry made the others flustered. Yang Xin and Leng Yan looked at each other and quickly went to Zheng Yue’s side to get tissues.

“What’s wrong? Why are you crying?” Leng Yan hurriedly stuffed the tissue into Zheng Yue’s hand. Yang Xin didn’t understand why Zheng Yue suddenly cried. “Did someone bully you outside, Zheng Yue?”

After all, they were roommates. Even if there was a distance between them and Zheng Yue now, they couldn’t bear to let her cry like this.

However, Zheng Yue felt aggrieved, especially after being cared for by everyone. Hence, her emotions surged.

“I—I was fired.” Her muffled voice came through her arm, thick with a nasal, sobbing tone.

Fired?

The few people who knew the reason looked at each other. Even Murong Qiao, who was sitting on the other side of Zheng Yue, was a little surprised.

Zheng Yue was not the type to be fired.

“Is there a misunderstanding?” Murong Qiao asked. Zheng Yue’s grades were good, and she worked and studied hard. Usually, no one would make things difficult for her.

“My part-time job is gone.” Zheng Yue was sobbing so hard that her body was trembling.

This matter started with Zheng Yue confronting Feng Xinyao.

At that time, Zheng Yue had embarrassed Feng Xinyao in the canteen, which caused Zheng Yue to suffer Feng Xinyao’s revenge. Feng Xinyao had only used a little money, and Zheng Yue directly lost her job.

When Zheng Yue received the news of her dismissal, she still couldn’t accept it. She didn’t understand why she suddenly lost her job.

By the time she reacted, Zheng Yue had already returned to the dormitory.

However, when she looked at the book in her hand, she couldn’t understand the knowledge points that she usually memorized. After all, tuition fees wouldn’t suddenly appear with these knowledge points. Zheng Yue, who had lost her job, was about to face the problem of living without money.

“My family is very poor. If I don’t have these jobs…” Zheng Yue cried harder and spoke intermittently.

She had gone to university against her family’s wishes. Her tuition fees and daily expenses were earned by working part-time. Now that her job was gone, Zheng Yue was really afraid.

However, at the same time that she was afraid, she had a faint premonition in her heart that Feng Xinyao must have done this.

Although there was no evidence to prove this, Zheng Yue knew that this was her revenge. After all, even without a powerful family background like Murong Qiao, Feng Xinyao still had some ability in school.

It was easy to make a poor student like her lose her job.

It was only now that she lost her source of income that Zheng Yue began to regret. She regretted being so impulsive to expose Feng Xinyao. Other than not getting any benefits from the momentary pleasure, she was even fired now.

“This…” Yang Xin was also a little surprised. She didn’t expect such a change to happen to Zheng Yue.

Leng Yan also sighed and looked at Zheng Yue, who was crying sadly. “Don’t be so sad. You can still find another part-time job.”

Seeing that Zheng Yue only said that she had lost her job and didn’t say anything else, Murong Qiao raised her eyebrows and felt that something must have happened that they didn’t know about. Thus, she immediately had some thoughts.

“The world is unfair but you still have to compose yourself.” Murong Qiao handed her a tissue.

Zheng Yue lowered her head, not daring to let the three of them see her guilty expression. She took the tissue carefully, which confirmed Murong Qiao’s thoughts.

“Yes, yes. If you really don’t have money, I can help you bring food for the next few days.” Yang Xin also comforted her.

Seeing Zheng Yue’s situation, they couldn’t bear to see a good girl suffer like this.

“But my tuition for next semester will be a problem…” Zheng Yue still couldn’t stop crying.

Hearing her say this, Yang Xin quickly shook her head. “You don’t have to spend any money now. We can help you pay for your living expenses these few days. It’ll be fine when you find a new job.”

“We can help with the food,” Murong Qiao said.

Her gaze never left Zheng Yue. Now that she heard Zheng Yue cry until she was out of breath and made such a request, she immediately understood what she meant, so she “understood” her.

Leng Yan also nodded in agreement. Although everyone didn’t have a lot of living expenses usually, they could still help with the daily meals.

Zheng Yue was originally crying very hard, but when she heard Yang Xin and Leng Yan say this, she felt a little happy.

“Really?” She slowly raised her head and looked at the three of them with hopeful eyes.

“Really, really. Don’t be so sad.” Yang Xin nodded.

Looking at Zheng Yue’s red eyes, Yang Xin, who had never seen much tears before, couldn’t take it anymore.

Murong Qiao also nodded. “Sure.”

It was just a little money for food. Moreover, Zheng Yue was indeed in trouble now, so she was happy to help her.

However, she wondered if Zheng Yue would be as grateful as she appeared to be…

Leng Yan directly took out her meal card and slammed it on the table. “You can use my meal card to eat these next few days.”

Her roommates’ kindness made Zheng Yue feel much more relaxed. At the very least, she had resolved her short-term embarrassment.

“Thank you all.” Zheng Yue nodded and thanked them as a smile slowly appeared on her face.

She didn’t expect to receive such help just by crying. This way, she wouldn’t have to spend money on food in the future..
