Chapter 2830 - 2823: Jealousy

"Are you asleep, little brother? It’s already late at night and all is silent. I’m sitting alone by the window, gazing into the distance. Thinking about you staying in the dorm makes me sad. It’s my own fault for not working hard enough. If my grades were better, Aunt An probably wouldn’t have let you leave, right?"

There was no reply for a few minutes.

He Yue then sent another message: "Little brother, do you not like me anymore?"

This time, the reply came quickly: "Study hard, don’t overthink! Yueyue, I’m waiting for you on the university campus, do your best to get into college for me!"

Seeing this message, He Yue’s eyes lit up, and she smiled while holding her phone.

Her little brother still cares about her!

He Yue’s mood was greatly improved compared to before, so she went ahead and input the final sequence problem to ask Ning Chenguang for help.

By the time she finished typing the question, five minutes had already passed, and she quickly clicked the send button. Then she waited for Ning Chenguang’s reply.

But this time, she waited for a long time and still didn’t get one.

Until the dawn light appeared and the cool breeze blowing in through the window woke her up, she realized she had fallen asleep at the desk.

......

Ning Chenguang had a bit of a fever last night, feeling groggy, and when he woke up, he found it was already broad daylight.

The alarm clock by the bed was pointing at the number nine, meaning it was nine in the morning. He had slept for quite a while. He got out of bed, took a sip of water, and saw the breakfast his roommate had left for him.

After finishing his morning routine, Ning Chenguang ate breakfast while casually picking up his phone to check the messages on it.

As he opened it, he happened to see the message He Yue had sent yesterday. It was a question on permutations and combinations—this girl’s grasp of such questions was indeed rather weak.

Ning Chenguang couldn’t even bother to finish his breakfast and was just about to call He Yueyue to explain. But seeing the time, it was class time, so that girl was probably listening to a lecture, right?

After thinking for a moment, he simply picked up a pen and started solving the problem on paper, and after solving it, he took a picture of it with his phone’s camera and sent it to He Yue as a multimedia message.

Talented people often have some peculiarities. Ning Chenguang didn’t even have any commonly used chat apps on his phone, relying only on text messages and phone calls.

His text message went through just as class ended, and He Yue went out to the restroom, leaving her phone inside her desk. Phones needed to be turned off during class.

The school had strict regulations, but they were also humane. Teachers only prohibited playing with phones during class but didn’t confiscate them collectively.

Unless someone was found not paying attention and playing with their phone during class, and only then would the teacher confiscate the person’s phone.

Chi Yan had been following He Yue from an inconspicuous distance for some time now, without trying to get close or being cocky. Instead, he lay low patiently, like a leopard about to hunt.

He kept a reasonable safe distance from He Yue, to avoid getting her upset.

To get closer to He Yue, he even went so far as to make the guy sitting behind her in the last row leave.

During the break, when he saw He Yue head to the restroom, with her phone screen lighting up several times inside her desk, he got curious about who was contacting He Yue.

Thinking about this, he couldn’t hold back anymore and left his seat to go over to He Yue’s desk, taking out her phone. Luckily, her phone messages weren’t password-protected, so he opened them directly.

Seeing the affectionate nickname on the screen: Dear little brother, Chi Yan instantly felt a pang of jealousy and his face turned dark!
