Nian Ueno

Jiang Weixi had been by Ji Xingzhou's side for nearly a year and a half, and she rarely saw the young master Ji feeling down for anyone.

Back then, Ji Xingzhou and Xu Manzhen were deeply in love, but at that age, neither of them knew how to control their emotions.

A prodigy and a prodigy, a perfect match yet equally proud, neither willing to yield.

When Jiang Weixi appeared, it was just as their relationship was coming to an end, and the childhood sweethearts had broken up.

The two were giving each other the cold shoulder and neither spoke to the other.

Then, Xu Manzhen applied to study abroad in a fit of pique, and Ji Xingzhou found a new love in a fit of pique as well.

Jiang Weixi is the new lover who is specifically used to annoy Xu Manzhen.

Back then, Xu Manzhen's friends in the circle all disliked her and bet that Ji Xingzhou would dump her within a month. People kept warning her not to be delusional and reminding her that she was just a tool.

Jiang Weixi chose to ignore the malice of those around Ji Xingzhou.

Did they think they could force her to back down with a few sarcastic remarks?

That's ridiculous.

From the very beginning, she wasn't after love.

Being by Ji Xingzhou's side would easily cover tuition and living expenses.

Occasionally, she can even enter and exit places that are completely inaccessible to her due to her abilities.

What does Ji Xingzhou mean by saying this now? Is he going to break up with him?

Although she didn't really care, she still had to put on an act.

After all, her current persona is that she's madly in love with him.

It would be even better if I could make him feel guilty, and then take advantage of that guilt to get a breakup fee.

Jiang Weixi bit her lip, making a conflicted and troubled expression. Accompanied by waves of cramping pain in her lower abdomen, her face grew paler and her eyes reddened.

Seeing her like this, Ji Xingzhou swallowed back the words he wanted to say.

I originally wanted to end my relationship with her.

But her pale face and the undisguised disappointment in her eyes softened my heart.

Ji Xingzhou changed his mind.

Suddenly I don't want to end the relationship so soon.

Let's wait a little longer and give her some time to prepare.

After all, she liked him so much, so if he suddenly announced a breakup, it would be a huge blow to her.

Ji Xingzhou picked up his phone and tapped a few times. He then said to Jiang Weixi, "Remember to sign in for me at 8 a.m. tomorrow. I'll send you the classroom location later."

He took it for granted and gave her the order.

Jiang Weixi was taken aback. She was all prepared to break up tonight. Was this... a feint?

Why is Ji Xingzhou not playing by the rules?

His hesitant manner just now clearly indicated that he wanted to dump her.

Whatever, whatever.

Jiang Weixi lowered her eyelids: "Okay."

Ji Xingzhou fiddled with the little white cat pendant in the car, his eyes glancing at Jiang Weixi's fluffy hair.

Suddenly I felt that she really was like a gentle and obedient kitten, cute and docile, and I never even saw her get angry.

Her pupils are light brown, round and bright, and she looks adorable when she's daydreaming.

The night breeze rustled through the camphor trees, and a few leaves swirled in the air before landing on the car hood.

Ji Xingzhou rolled down the car window, letting the cool breeze dispel the heat in his heart, and smiled.

Jiang Weixi felt confused and wondered what had gotten into him today.

She lowered her head slightly and remained quiet.

That overly obedient demeanor becomes boring after a while.

Being too obedient... doesn't really mean anything.

Although it won't cause him any trouble, it doesn't arouse his interest either.

He still prefers small roses with a few thorns.

When I'm feeling down, I need someone gentle and understanding by my side.

The young master's mood changed faster than turning the pages of a book. Just now he thought she was as cute as a cat, but now, seeing her meek and submissive appearance, he suddenly felt she was nothing special.

He stopped smiling and said in a flat tone, "Go down."

Jiang Weixi grabbed her bag, quickly pushed open the door and got out of the car, eager to leave this strange atmosphere.

She walked forward quickly, without looking back.

Ji Xingzhou's gaze passed through the car window and landed on her back.

He looked away in just a second and drove off.

Jiang Weixi returned to her dormitory.

She lived in a four-person room, and it was very late; all three of her roommates were still in the dorm.

Su Di was curled up in bed playing video games, with the bed curtains half-drawn, wearing headphones and talking to his teammates, occasionally swearing and complaining about his opponents' lack of sportsmanship.

Cheng Anuo held a calligraphy brush, sat upright at her desk, a long scroll was spread out on the table with the other end dangling to the floor. She bent her neck and carefully copied the "Shanglin Fu" stroke by stroke, seemingly to give it to someone.

Tang Tang was applying a face mask. On the table was a fruit box, with a variety of colorful fruits neatly arranged inside. An iPad was playing a dance video of a boy band.

Tang Tang screamed, "Ah...brother is so handsome!"

Tang Tang turned around and saw Jiang Weixi come in, and greeted her.

Cheng Anuo put down her calligraphy brush for a moment, raised her arms, and stretched her aching back: "Xixi, you're back! How was the banquet last night? Did you enjoy it?"

"well enough……"

It's not good.

However, she is proud and won't complain to her roommates.

Cheng Anuo chatted with her for a few words, then continued to draw the "Shanglin Fu" with his head down.

Of all the students in the dormitory, Tang Tang came from the best family. She ate, dressed, and used luxury brands and often treated everyone to meals.

Su Di comes from a well-off family. She is an only child from Northeast China, with several thousand yuan in living expenses each month, and she spends a thousand or eight hundred yuan every month on in-game skins.

Cheng Anuo's family is in financial difficulty. Their living expenses are only enough for food, and they eat the cheapest food. They have to be very frugal with each meal to make ends meet.

Jiang Weixi has never talked to anyone about her family.

Her parents had long since divorced and started new families. She was a disliked burden, unwanted by anyone, and was abandoned by her grandmother in the countryside.

Even if other families are poor, their parents will at least give them some living expenses. But her parents are incredibly stingy and refuse to give her a single penny. Even when she was taken to court, they dragged their feet and refused to pay child support.

Those two have been in arrears on child support payments for over a decade.

Jiang Weixi dragged her tired body through the chairs between Cheng Anuo and Tang Tang, walked to her own table, squatted down with her hand on her waist, and took out her slippers to change into.

Cheng Anuo, being perceptive, noticed that Xixi was clutching her stomach and asked with concern, "Xixi, are you feeling unwell? Is it your period?"

Jiang Weixi rummaged through the cabinet for a while, then nodded, "Hmm."

The sleeping pants I bought are all used up, and there's only an empty packaging bag left.

Cheng Anuo opened the drawer, pulled out a pair of overnight pants, and handed them to her: "I have some here, you can use these first."

"Thanks."

After washing up, Jiang Weixi lay down on the bed, pulled the curtains closed, curled up with a hot water bottle over her hand, and checked her phone for tomorrow's class schedule.

My schedule is full of classes all day.

I have to go to class in place of Ji Xingzhou at eight o'clock in the morning.

When she's on her period, all she wants to do is lie in bed and she really doesn't want to go to class.

Jiang Weixi resignedly set her alarm for 7 a.m.

Before going to sleep, she switched to her alternate account and opened her chat window with Mr. Liu Liu.

This is currently her biggest source of income, so she has to play the role of her online girlfriend seriously.

The man opposite her has a rather aloof personality and won't take the initiative, so she has to be more proactive.

So Jiang Weixi started showering him with concern and care.

[Gentle Little Rabbit: Is Mr. Liu Liu asleep?]

[Mr. Liu Liu: No.]

[Gentle Little Rabbit: Why aren't you asleep yet? Can't fall asleep without a bedtime story from the little rabbit?]

Jiang Weixi made a casual joke.

Unexpectedly, the other party admitted it directly.

[Mr. Liu Liu: Hmm.]

The bedroom was pitch black, with the curtains drawn tightly, not letting in a single ray of light.

Ji Dongxun pinched the bridge of his nose, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

After being discharged from the military, insomnia became the norm; whenever he closed his eyes, a vivid red blood would explode in front of him.

[Mr. Liu Liu initiates a voice call.]
