Chapter 838: Why Would That Pauper Say No To Money?
Yuan Xi frowned when she heard what Tang Ruyu said. Why did she have a feeling Tang Ruyu was not trying to buy Huo Yao’s sunblock? Instead, it felt as though she was showing off how rich she was.
Moreover, did Huo Yao look poor to her?
Her older brother was a top celebrity. How could she be poor?
Yuan Xi looked at Tang Ruyu. Since they were from the same dormitory, she said rather politely, “This isn’t about money. Huo Yao’s sunblock is custom-made. She only has two bottles of the stuff. If she sells it to you, then she won’t have enough for herself.”
Tang Ruyu felt a little annoyed when Yuan Xi spoke up for Huo Yao. After all, no one had asked for Yuan Xi’s opinion, so she simply glanced at Yuan Xi without answering her. Instead, she turned to look at Huo Yao and refused to give up. “Will you sell it to me?”
Huo Yao pursed her lips and answered languidly. “Sorry, I am not selling it.”
Tang Ruyu felt a little disappointed and was unable to keep up the smile on her face. “Fine.”
She slumped her shoulders and turned to go back to her bed.
Yuan Xi looked at Tang Ruyu from behind as she left. She pursed her lips when she noticed how quickly Tang Ruyu stopped acting friendly to Huo Yao.
She placed her sunblock into her makeup bag carefully before taking Huo Yao to eat at the canteen.
After they left the dormitory, Jiang Hua closed the door and said, “Huo Yao is so cocky.”
Tang Ruyu was straightening the bed when a thought crossed her mind. She raised her head and replied. “Since she is the top Arts scholar, it is only natural for her to be a little proud.”
Jiang Hua shook her head. “So what if she is the top Arts scholar! She doesn’t even have a foundation in Science. How could she be better than us?”
“That is not true. After all, if she could get accepted by the department, I am sure she must be… very talented.” Tang Ruyu seemed to make sense, but her voice was filled with clear disdain.
Jiang Hua leaned against the bed and scoffed. “If you ask me, she is only good at being cocky and petty.”
Tang Ruyu recalled how Huo Yao publicly turned her down and felt annoyed, so she said mockingly, “It is just a hand-made, untested product. Does she have to treat it like it’s some treasure?”
That pauper. Why would she say no to money?
“I think she is out to get you. After all, she was generous enough to give a bottle of sunblock to Yuan Xi. You even politely offered to pay for it, but she refused to sell it to you. Isn’t it clear she has something against you?” Jiang Hua touched her chin as she analyzed the situation.
Tang Ruyu looked even more annoyed. They were all living in the same dormitory and were from the same faculty. Would it kill Huo Yao to give her the sunblock?
Jiang Hua noticed how angry Tang Ruyu was, so she comforted her gently. “Don’t be mad. It’s just the first day of military training. How can we be certain of the sunblock’s efficacy? Moreover, luxury sunblock wasn’t able to have the same effect as hers. Heaven knows how much hormones her product contains. What if you get disfigured from using it?”
Tang Ruyu glanced at Jiang Hua and thought about what she said. Immediately, she felt a little better. Jiang Hua was right. It was nearly impossible for any product to make its user seem as though she had never been under the scorching sun.
Hadn’t they taken a Chemistry class before?
Tang Ruyu kept wanting to test her theory for the rest of the duration of the military training.
However, Huo Yao and Yuan Xi’s skin was completely unscathed from the burning sun while she became increasingly dark, so she could not help feeling jealous.
