Chapter 7 (1/2)

Mingxi who woke up the next day had no idea that her position in this Young Master Fu’s heart had fallen so low. She was practically no different from a scammer.

After she was done washing up, she combed her hair and took out her phone. She sent Fu Yangxi a period: “.”

As usual, the Young Master did not reply.

Looks like he really muted her.

This was exactly what Mingxi wanted. She felt relieved as she could send whatever she liked after this.

Thus, Mingxi conveniently sent him another two periods.

With this, her task of sending three WeChat messages was complete.

Mingxi looked at her flower pot. As expected, the luck obtained by these three messages were not as much as it was yesterday. The fifth bud only grew by a little. However as the saying goes, no matter how skinny a mosquito’s leg was it was still meat, hence Mingxi was already very satisfied.

She looked at the left side of her face in the mirror again. There was only a very light mark left.

Fu Yangxi didn’t get any proper sleep that night, therefore he was in a bad mood when he woke up. Even the servants did not dare to approach him while he was drinking coffee in front of the French windows. Suddenly, his phone vibrated a few times. He opened them angrily and saw the messages sent by the transfer student.

“.”

“.”

“.”

Three periods.

Fu Yangxi was truly wondering if he only had 0.2G of data, or else why would he not understand what the transfer student was sending him? It was as if it was in Morse code.

He tried his best to ignore it, but he still couldn’t help but to open up Baidu. He searched up ‘What does three periods mean?’

Very quickly, he saw…

One of the answers were: Actually in romance novels, there is a secret. Three periods means I miss you, I love you and you don’t have to reply to me. This is my secret, and this is something you will never find out.

?

This was what the transfer student meant?

Fu Yangxi was very doubtful.

She sure was full of tricks.

However, no matter what she meant, he did not plan to play along with her anymore. Bye bye.

Thus, the moment Mingxi entered class while dragging the things she bought yesterday, she realized that her table and the books on it had all been moved to the last row.

“…”

The whole class, including her, would actually come up to a total of 42 students. Six rows and seven columns.

But now her table seemed to stick out at the last row beside the vending machine. They had forced out a seventh row. Now, the whole class’ seating arrangement looked absolutely hideous.

Mingxi didn’t think that Fu Yangxi would be this stingy! Yesterday, she thought that when Fu Yangxi said to exchange her two sweets for one afternoon was a joke. She didn’t think it would be to the extent of forcefully sending her away the next day— In the end, he was unexpectedly stingy!

Mingxi was so shocked that her feet were stuck to the ground. She didn’t feel good at all.

Ke Chengwen yawned while walking over. “Xi ge usually comes late and leaves early so he isn’t here yet. He figured you won’t voluntarily swap seats with the class monitor, so he got us to move your seat away first. Also, you’re on cleaning duty today…”

Before he could finish, Ke Chengwen noticed the same transparent plastic bag Mingxi had with her yesterday. But unlike yesterday, it was carrying various grape flavored desserts. When he saw that, his eyes brightened.

“You won’t be able to pursue Xi ge anyway, so why not give this to me? I’ll take over your cleaning duties for one semester!”

Mingxi already had her breakfast. She originally wanted to bring these for Fu Yangxi, but seeing as how her seat was already moved to where the trash can was, she suddenly didn’t feel like giving them to him anymore.

“Then I’ll give these to you. You’ll be in charge of cleaning the board.”

Ke Chengwen accepted the desserts with both hands. She had left a more favorable impression on him, hence he felt immediately closer to her.

“Transfer student! If you bring another set for me tomorrow, I’ll give you Xi ge’s address!”

Mingxi asked the system, “Will my buds grow if I find out Fu Yangxi’s address?”

System: “No, unless you visit him.”

She knew that it would be impossible for her to walk through the gates of the Fu family home, hence Mingxi could not be bothered to find out Fu Yangxi’s address. She waved her hand in dismissal, walked over to her seat at the last row and sat down before saying, “No thanks.”

Ke Chengwen was stunned. What’s going on? Just like this, she gave up on her pursuit?

Mingxi flipped open her book. She memorized today’s content while contemplating if she should shamelessly move back.

It was very obvious that everyday, only the first deep breath could trigger the growth of a bud. Every sniff she took of Fu Yangxi after that was useless— This meant that it wasn’t actually necessary for her to sit together with Fu Yangxi, right? As long as she could find a way to get a good sniff of him everyday, it should be fine.

Later if she ever felt dizzy again, she would just have to run to Fu Yangxi’s side. They were in the same class anyway.

…Furthermore, being Fu Yangxi’s seatmate seemed to create more difficulties for her. This guy with a redneck personality seemed to be quite short tempered. She didn’t know if he would cause trouble for her in the future.

…It seemed like Jiang Xiuqiu who had a 2% return rate was still absent due to his flu. She wondered if it would be easier to find a way to sit next to him instead.

While Mingxi was thinking, Fu Yangxi entered the classroom from the back door with a long face, a pair of headphones hanging on his neck and his hands stuffed in his pockets.

As he didn’t sleep well, his whole person looked lethargic. His short red hair wasn’t as spiky as usual as he didn’t have time to blow dry it. Instead, it was extremely tame and it fit so well with him that it brought out the paleness of his skin and the sharpness of his features.

Usually, the first thing he does when he enters the class would be to lie down on the table and sleep. However today, the first thing he subconsciously did was to look at the seat beside him—

It was empty.

Fu Yangxi recalled that he had already got his followers to move the transfer student’s seat away.

He immediately shifted his gaze in a nonchalant manner to the seat at the corner of the last row.

This time, the transfer student made no noise about it and immediately sat at the last row. She was reading her book quietly and didn’t even look up at him. The shadow at the back of her uniform was littered with flecks of the morning sun.

It was rare for Fu Yangxi to look at a girl. Prior to this, men and women were all genderless creatures to him. This was truly the first time he realized that a girl’s figure was way thinner than a boy’s.

Can it be because she’s so poor that she can’t eat any good food?
