My roommate's online boyfriend won't spend any coins, but he'll give me tons of gold

"Huh?"

What a coincidence! Just as Chen Zhiye was sending a WeChat message to her online boyfriend, her phone also rang.

Shen Sui'an stared blankly at the black phone with the cover facing backwards. Her heart felt like it had been scratched by a kitten, and she reached out her hand as if possessed.

Just as it was about to touch, a hand with distinct knuckles reached out from the side and picked up the phone first.

Chen Zhiye returned after finishing his cigarette, his palm holding his phone. "What are you doing?"

Shen Sui'an silently withdrew her hand. "Your phone rang, but you weren't there. I wanted to pick it up and take a look."

Chen Zhiye lowered his eyes, glanced at the pictures she sent, and casually opened the chat software developed by the company, placing it on the desktop.

He spoke calmly, "News from the company."

Shen Sui'an glanced at it and, sure enough, saw new messages popping up constantly.

Is it really just a coincidence?

She glanced at Chen Zhiye suspiciously a couple more times. He remained calm, so she lowered her head and sent another message to Tom.

I type very quickly, and send it out as soon as I finish typing.

May you live a long and peaceful life: [Baby, have you been eating properly?]

Shen Sui'an stared at the black phone with its screen still on, without moving an inch. There were no new messages popping up, only group chat messages that kept popping up.

She breathed a sigh of relief, and the corners of her lips curved slightly.

There's no way it could be such a coincidence; how could Chen Zhiye possibly be Tom?

He's so bad, so wicked and wicked, nowhere near as good as her understanding Tom.

We haven't finished eating all eight snacks yet.

She urged, "Keep eating."

Chen Zhi didn't want to eat anymore; the flavors were too strong. "I'm full."

"Your appetite isn't that small."

"That's all for today."

"So, have I finished paying back the meal I owe you?"

Chen Zhiye raised an eyebrow. "You think you can pay back eight meals with just a few dozen yuan? Dream on."

No way.

Shen Sui'an stubbornly clarified, "These cost over a hundred yuan, okay?"

Chen Zhi chuckled helplessly and put his phone in his pocket.

"I'm gone."

Where are you going?

"I'll take you back to school."

"And these snacks..." He barely ate any of them.

Chen Zhiye didn't even turn his head: "It's lost."

Shen Sui'an couldn't bear to part with them, so she picked out a few untouched dishes and gave them to the next table, where two girls sat. "These are all things we haven't tried before. We can't finish them all. Do you mind?"

The two girls' eyes lit up when they saw the unopened roasted durian.

One of the girls took it, saying, "No problem, no problem."

"Thank you."

You're welcome~

Shen Suian took the leftovers to the trash can. There were elderly people scavenging nearby, so she hesitated for a moment, then moved a few steps away from the trash can and placed the food on a relatively clean ground.

Chen Zhi stood beside her, one hand in his pocket, silently watching her actions.

The little rabbit is cute and kind.

I want to pet her.

"Wait a minute, let me ask my roommates if there's anything they want to eat, and I'll bring it back for them."

She messaged Su Yutong privately, asking her what she wanted to eat.

Knowing she was outside, Su Yutong said happily, "Bring me two grilled sausages, a cup of milk tea, and a grilled pig's trotter. Oh, and bring me some chicken feet too."

She had been starving for a long time after the engagement party, and she wanted to make up for it all in one go.

"OK."

After asking Su Yutong, she sent a private message to Song Shiyi. Although Song Shiyi hadn't eaten or drunk anything that night, she still asked her.

As for Ningxi.

I didn't ask.

Forgive her, she's a bad woman.

After receiving Song Shiyi's reply that she wouldn't eat it, Shen Sui'an went to buy what Su Yutong wanted.

This time she queued up obediently.

Chen Zhi waited nearby, replying to the WeChat messages he had received earlier on his phone.

Tom: [Who were you having dinner with?]

He's incredibly wicked; he asked that on purpose.

When Shen Sui'an saw the message that it was almost her turn, her heart tightened. She turned around and glanced at the person behind her. He wasn't holding his phone, so it seemed that the earlier ringing of his phone was indeed a misunderstanding.

But she felt guilty and didn't know how to reply to Tom.

I typed the words and then deleted them.

Ultimately, they decided not to recognize it.

Peace and safety every year: [With my roommates.]

Tom: [Really?]

Tom: [You're not lying to me?]

Shen Suian's heart pounded even faster. If she turned around at this moment, she would definitely see Chen Zhi looking down at his phone, his lips curled into a wicked smile.

Peace and safety every year: [No, no.]

Sui Sui An An: [Why would I lie to you? Ugh, my roommate complains that I'm always on my phone, so I'm not going to say anything more.]

【Baby, bye~】

After posting, she switched to her larger account as if trying to escape.

If her hands were faster, she wouldn't be able to see the messages.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Seeing her movements, Chen Zhi slowly put his phone back in his pocket.

Shen Sui'an had already bought the items and paid for them. She came over dejectedly, carrying her things, her voice several octaves lower, "Let's go."

When she left, she deliberately kept her distance from Chen Zhiye.

It's a long passage, as if this alone proves that the two of them have nothing to do with each other.

But Chen Zhi didn't do as she wished. He moved closer to her, his arm touching her shoulder, and even his hand hanging at his side would occasionally brush against her hand.

He did it on purpose!

Shen Sui'an brought her hand in front of her and quickened her pace to create distance between them.

No matter how fast she was, she couldn't outrun Chen Zhi; he caught up with her in a single stride.

"Hold this for me."

Unable to avoid it, she stuffed all the things she bought for Su Yutong into his hands and made him do whatever he wanted.

Chen Zhi didn't mind. He helped her carry it and stopped teasing her. He didn't try to get close to her anymore, but they were still very close.

Shen Sui'an finally caught her breath.

But she didn't realize that she had now gotten used to him walking beside her.

It was almost 9:30 when I finished shopping.

Time to go back to the dorm.

After leaving the food street, there weren't as many people on the road.

"Thank you for what happened to my parents."

Under the moonlight, her fluffy hair was smooth and shiny black, and her cheeks were covered with fine down. Her face was unadorned, as clean as a sweet peach.

I want to eat it, I want to bite it.

Chen Zhiye lowered his eyes, his Adam's apple bobbing silently.

Shen Sui'an continued, "Mom said you helped find a caregiver and also instructed someone to help arrange the ward."

She had seen online that medical resources were scarce and it was difficult to see a doctor abroad.

Chen Zhi also hummed in agreement.

I want to hug you.

Shen Sui'an looked up in surprise, her panicked gaze meeting his burning eyes. Chen Zhi also lowered his head, his voice low and slightly hoarse as he pleaded.

"Please indulge me this once, and may you have peace and happiness every year."
