Chapter 21 - School Grass’ Special Pet – 21 (1/2)

Bai Xun and Gao Yuan were together, the news flew with wings and spread quickly all over campus.

All the girls looked at Bai Xun as if she was a bitch. After all, just a few days ago, her relations with Su Shi was unclear and there was the high-profile fiancée, Huang Yanran.

However, the young couple who have just revealed their feelings to each other didn’t care about such things. They were in love, looking at each other with sweetness.

Except the occasional encounters with Su Shi.

She met him at the restaurant, where she worked during the weekend. He looked haggard, apologetic and uneasy.

“Senior?” She was a little overwhelmed and barely maintained a smile. “What a coincidence, what does senior want to eat?”

Su Shi didn’t speak. His gentle eyes were still tender, but with heartbreak, as if he still yearned for something more.

He looked at her for a long while and then gently said, “I’m not here to eat, I came to see you.”

“To see me?” Bai Xun muttered, she stumbled with her words as if she didn’t know how to speak, “I…”

“Why? Why do you still do this kind of work? Didn’t Gao Yuan tell you his identity? As long as he wants, he could buy this store and gift it to you.” Su Shi smiled gently and faintly said.

Bai Xun frowned. She didn’t like this side of Su Shi, her senior wouldn’t say such words.

“Senior, what are you talking about? No matter what A Yuan’s identity is, I can’t totally rely on him. I can support myself.”

Her serious and disapproving look caused the smile on Su Shi’s face to fade.

After a long while, he sighed, and when he got up to leave, he reminded her. “Huang Yanran hasn’t been to school for a long time. She should return soon. Be careful.”

After a pause, he said again. “…Xiao Xun, if… If you are in need of help, you can come to me.”

He’s concerned for her.

“Thank you, senior.” Bai Xun hesitated and said. “Also, the medical expenses I owe you from last time, I will pay you back as soon as possible.”

Su Shi shook his head and wanted to say no. Does she even want to cut the last tie to make it clear for him?

…But looking at Bai Xun’s serious expression, he finally didn’t say anything.

Su Shi left and Bai Xun was secretly relieved.

Thanks to her wit, she reduced the opponent’s blackening value from 5% to 0%, but at the same time, the affection dropped to 90%.

Once the affection reaches 100%, it will no longer decline, so she didn’t have to worry about Gao Yuan. She needs to find a way to fill up Su Shi’s heart as soon as possible.

She is now Gao Yuan’s girlfriend. If she wants to step on a second boat, the plot will reach a huge turning point.

In the game, the protagonist’s family is poor, her father died young, thus she worked part-time and sent money to her mother in the countryside.

That day, she answered a phone call and her plate fell to the ground.

“Xiao Xun, what’s wrong?” Her boss was shocked.

When Bai Xun turned around, her pale face was covered with tears. “My mother is sick, I, I ask for leave…”

Looking at her appearance, the boss knew that she must be ill and hurriedly said, “Don’t worry, it will be fine, you can leave.”

Bai Xun nodded, changed out of the shop’s uniform, took her bag and ran out.

She looked in a hurry and only had time to send a message to Gao Yuan. She went to the station to buy a ticket to leave.

Even if there are no capture characters around, her acting skills were on the line!

Bai Xun went all the way to the county hospital. Her mother had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage and the neighbors took her to the hospital. The doctor said that craniotomy must be done as soon as possible.

The female host mother’s role was minor and this game’s NPC model was a normal middle-aged woman.

However, Bai Xun sat beside the hospital bed and looked at the woman with her eyes tightly closed and connected to all kinds of instruments. At that moment, her strong feelings caused her nose to sour and eyes to reddened.

……

The medical conditions of the county hospital were not good. Bai Xun’s mother was quickly transferred to the city. All her part-time savings were spent in less than two days.

She still needs money and lots of it.

But she is a poor college student. Where can she get money?

Bai Xun went the entire way home in a trance. When she went up the stairs, she heard a quarrel. The voices were familiar to her – Gao Yuan and Huang Yanran.

“Don’t come to me. I’ve already made it clear to him that I won’t go back.” Gao Yuan said in a cold voice.

Huang Yanran smiled lightly. “A Yuan, haven’t you found out yet? All your cards don’t move. All your friends are no longer with you. Even next month’s rent, you can’t afford it?”

Gao Yuan faintly replied, “You don’t have to worry about it. Since I left the Lu family, I can earn money on my own merits.”

“Well, I’ll wait and see.” Huang Yanran’s high-heel shoes sounded and Bai Xun immediately hid.

There was a pause in her step. “By the way, Uncle Lu has already communicated, no one is allowed to help you. Even if you go looking for work, no one will hire you.”

Bai Xun hid in the shadows, waiting for Huang Yanran to leave.
