You all chase after the innocent school beauty, then I'll choose the rebellious female school b

The next day it was still cold.

He must have exhausted himself last night, because even when the alarm rang, Lu Yuan didn't want to get up.

Don't get me wrong, it's mainly because of the cold weather, it's definitely not because Lu Yuan was drained dry.

Ye Yixian got up on time, made breakfast, and then came to wake Lu Yuan up.

When Lu Yuan got up to brush his teeth, Lin Na arrived as promised.

She saw Lu Yuan brushing his teeth in the yard and asked, "Did you spend the night here last night?"

Lu Yuan nodded, "That's right, I still have things to do here today, so of course I'll stay here overnight. Otherwise, it'll be too much trouble to keep running around."

Then, Lin Na visibly revealed a meaningful smile, glanced into the room, and saw Ye Yixian serving Lu Yuan porridge at the dining table, not paying any attention to them.

Linna asked with a mischievous grin, "Your girlfriend looks like she's got a lot of energy. With your skinny arms and legs, can you handle her?"

Lu Yuan, still with foam in his mouth, rolled his eyes at her. "How am I skinny?"

It's not that Lu Yuan is bragging, but he's nineteen years old now and already 1.82 meters tall. In his previous life, his height was 1.85 meters. In this day and age, especially in the south, that height is definitely considered tall.

Lu Yuan is certainly not skinny; he has always been training, and his muscles are strong and well-defined. Basketball, swimming, and running are Lu Yuan's strengths.

In the first semester of freshman year, there was a school-wide physical fitness test in October. At that time, Lu Yuan's physical fitness test results were among the best in the entire freshman class.

Lu Yuan certainly has athletic talent, but he has never deliberately built muscle, so his muscle mass is not that exaggerated. Especially now that it's cold and he's wearing long sleeves, his muscle lines are even less obvious.

Of course, it wasn't that Lu Yuan had thin arms and legs, but rather that Lin Na had seen male models with big arms and legs. Those male models, to put it bluntly, are commodities, so their appearance definitely needs to be made to look good. Otherwise, a rich woman like Lin Na wouldn't even choose them.

Linna pouted and teased, "With such small muscles, are you even capable? Don't shake your little girlfriend until she falls apart."

Lu Yuan rolled his eyes at Lin Na again. It was clear that Lin Na was a very outgoing woman. Well, if she wasn't outgoing, why would she go to a club to pick up male models?

At times, she also felt that Ye Yixian was "energetic," probably because Ye Yixian had taken care of himself and was radiant. In the words of the older generation, he was easy to raise and had a long life.

Elders like this kind of girl, mainly because she is healthy.

Lin Na was probably happy that this topic would upset Lu Yuan; she hoped he would have a heart attack from anger. So she continued, "I know a lot of amazing fitness coaches, and they all use an imported muscle-building powder. It's very effective. Do you want me to introduce it to you?"

Lu Yuan took a sip of water, gurgled it around, and then spat it out.

Ye Yixian's family doesn't have a water heater, so she has to boil water in a kettle to take a shower at night. She usually brushes her teeth with cold water, even in winter.

She boiled a pot of hot water for Lu Yuan early this morning, so when Lu Yuan brushed his teeth, he used a mixture of hot and cold water, the temperature was just right, and rinsing his mouth felt really comfortable.

After spitting out the foam in his mouth, Lu Yuan didn't pay much attention to Lin Na and made a move to leave.

Linna wouldn't give up, and said, "It's okay if you don't want muscle-building powder. I also know some very skilled traditional Chinese medicine doctors. The aphrodisiacs they prescribe are amazing! Do you want some?"

Lu Yuan couldn't take it anymore and said to Lin Na, "I don't need anything. My girlfriend is very satisfied with my performance, unlike you, who doesn't have a man to love you."

These words were like a knife, stabbing Lin Na directly into her heart.

It hurts! It hurts so much.

But she quickly shook her head, retorting defiantly, "Who says I don't have men who love me? I used to have seven or eight handsome guys fawning over me with just a snap of my fingers, and they were even willing to lick my feet."

"I don't doubt that." Lu Yuan nodded and said seriously, "So now, you're out of money, why don't you give them a call? Ask them to lend you tens of thousands of yuan. Jiangcheng is not like the provincial capital; the cost of living here is lower. Tens of thousands of yuan can make you live very comfortably."

"I……"

Linna was speechless.

Those men weren't men in her eyes; they were just objects of consumption for her amusement.

If you meet her on the street the next day, you might not even recognize her, let alone give her money.

Lu Yuan scoffed, "Sister Na, we're on different paths. Yi Xian and I value feelings more than physical intimacy. Even if I were to become paralyzed one day, she definitely wouldn't leave me, let alone now that I'm strong and healthy."

Linna scoffed at this.

Lu Yuan didn't want to waste words with her, so he pointed to the Pang family's house next to Ye Yixian and said, "Go and help Pang family today. Clean up the pile of junk in the yard. He's going to take it to the recycling station this afternoon to sell it and get money for the New Year."

"No way? Lu Yuan, are you kidding me? You actually want me to pick up trash?"

Cleaning up Ye Yixian's yard is considered tidying up, which Lin Na can reluctantly accept. But the neighbor's yard is full of junk. Although it's not disgusting garbage, it's still dirty. If she goes to help clean it up, won't she become a junk collector?

Are you going or not?

Lu Yuan's face turned cold, conveying a strong sense of threat.

Lin Na tried to bargain, but Lu Yuan's attitude was clear, and he emphasized again, "Listen to me, and you can return to the family."

Lin Na suspected that Lu Yuan was deliberately making things difficult for her, but she had no evidence, so she could only reluctantly go over.

Lu Yuan had already made arrangements with Master Pang; Lin Na would be going to help out today, and of course, the two of them would go after breakfast as well.

While working, Linna kept complaining that it was too dirty and smelly, muttering to herself incessantly.

Master Pang could tell at a glance that Lin Na wasn't cut out for this kind of work, and thought it best to let her go. But Lu Yuan insisted that she stay and do as much as she could.

They worked like this until noon, and the originally messy and crowded courtyard finally had enough space to look much more comfortable.

"Girl, take a break and have some water."

Grandma Pang came out carrying a thermos. Grandpa Pang's family didn't even have tea leaves; they usually just drank plain water.

Finally, she could rest. Linna plopped down on the relatively clean cardboard next to her and sulked.

Actually, she didn't do much; the small area she was responsible for wasn't even completely cleaned.

Lu Yuan took a sip of water, glanced at Lin Na, and then ignored her.

Grandpa Pang has a tricycle that's already full, and he plans to take it to the nearby scrap yard first.

Lu Yuan went along too, and said he would pack lunch to bring back as well.

Ye Yixian wanted to eat soup noodles, so she specifically mentioned it. Lu Yuan remembered it and then asked Lin Na, "Sister Na, what would you like to eat?"

"casual."

Linna didn't even look up, and said something in an annoyed tone.

She must feel wronged and is sulking.

Lu Yuancai wouldn't indulge her. Since he said it was up to her, then he really would. Whatever he bought, she had to eat. If she was picky and refused to eat, it would be a waste of food, and he would have to give her a good scolding.

After Lu Yuan left, Ye Yixian didn't rest either, and continued to help Grandma Pang tidy up the house.

Although Grandma Pang repeatedly said that it didn't need to go to so much trouble, Ye Yixian still helped. She was young and strong, and cleaning the house wouldn't take much effort. After all, the New Year was coming soon, and the spring cleaning couldn't be neglected. It would also save the two elderly people from having to do it themselves and get tired.

She insisted repeatedly, and Old Mrs. Pang had no choice but to let her go.

Grandma Pang noticed that Lin Na was sitting there dejectedly, so she came over.

Linna caught a glimpse of the old woman out of the corner of her eye, turned her head, and asked unhappily, "What are you doing?"

The old woman smiled and asked, "Are you thirsty? Thank you for helping us with the work. You're such a kind-hearted girl."

Lin Na remained expressionless, but in her mind, countless curses were running through her head—all directed at Lu Yuan, of course. She muttered to herself that she only wanted to get home quickly and had no intention of helping anyone.

As the old woman spoke, she looked around to make sure no one was there before mysteriously pulling a small object from her pocket and handing it to Lin Na. "Here, take this."

Linna was puzzled and didn't take it. Instead, she asked, "What is it?"
