Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Ye Xingchen walked up to Qian Zhong and saw that he had already curled up into a ball. In his hand, there was only the plum that he had despised just now.
A cracked plum might even be able to support him and let him live for another day.
Ye Xingchen1 s eyes were cold as he stepped on his clenched fist.
The hard and rough soles of rhe snow boots crushed Qian Zhong1 s fist. Under the pressure, the similarly rough gloves rubbed against the back of Qian Zhong’s hand. He screamed in pain and subconsciously let go.
A round plum rolled out of his hand. Ye Xingchen lifted his foot and stepped on it. It was just that ir was too hard and he could not crush the plum directly.
Under Qian Zhong’s despairing gaze, Ye Xingchen slowly opened his mouth and said, “Be more obedient next rime. I said that I won’t raise idle people. If you don’t contribute, don’t even think about earing!”
With this display of power, the people below became much more obedient. Those who had nor yer received food did not dare to raise any more objections.
Soon, Ye Xingchen finished distributing the food, leaving only a few people who did not get it.
“Alright, the food has been distributed. Everyone, go back to your homes!”
Ye Xingchen asked Lin Sijia to put the rest of rhe things back into rhe bag. There were two big bags of things, but there was only half a bag left.
Just as Lin Sijia bent down to put rhe things into the bag, an anxious shout suddenly came from rhe crowd.
“Brother Xingchen! Brother Xingchen! 1 haven’t gotten any food! I haven’t!’’
The owner of this voice was Chen Rou’er.
She listened to the names being read our one after another from behind the crowd. When she realized that most of the people had already collected their supplies, and there were still so many supplies left, she rook it for granted that those things were specially left behind by Ye Xingchen for her.
However, she did not expect Ye Xingchen to say that rhe items had been distributed without even saying her name!
Chu Yao was the same. She grabbed Chen Rou’er with one hand and shouted anxiously at Ye Xingchen. “Brother Xingchen! Don’t forget me! I’m Chu Yao! I haven’t received any food either!”
The three of them pushed aside the people in front of them and approached Ye Xingchen.
Among the three of them, only Sun Min was holding a small piece of bread in her hand.
Ye Xingchen looked at the three of them, he was somewhat surprised, especially when he saw Chen Rou’er.
After ail, he had been paying attention ro the battle earlier and had not noticed that Chen Rou’er had actually come.
“Why aren’t you dead yet?”
Ye Xingchen exclaimed in surprise. Chen Rou’er, who was anxiously moving forward, suddenly stopped.
Ye Xingchen didn’t see Chen Rou’er’s messages in the group chat anymore. He thought that Chen Rou’er and Chu Yao were already dead because he only saw Sun Min rushing in with a stick. He didn’t see Chen Rou’er and Chu Yao.
Chen Rou’er was stunned for a moment before she became excited. She once again thought that Ye Xingchen did not call her name because he thought she was already dead.
“I knew Brother Xingchen cared about me the most. I’m still alive! Brother Xingchen can bring me home now! ”
Suddenly, there were waves of discussions in the surroundings. They all knew who Chen Rou’er was. After all, the title of the campus belle of Jinghai University was still very resounding.
However, they never knew that the high and mighty school belle of Jinghai actually had such a shameless side.
“Oh, I’m so sorry. 1 thought you two were dead.”
Ye Xingchen’s face was filled with amusement as he stared at Chen Rou’er and Chu Yao.
“But I’m sorry, you guys saw it just now, right? 1, Ye Xingchen, am a very fair person. The two of you didn’t put in any effort just now, so the two of you don’t get any food.”
Chen Rou’er and Chu Yao were stunned on the spot, unable to believe what they saw.
“What?” Chu Yao blurted out. “Why do they have it but 1 don’t? Sun Min clearly has food!”
Chen Rou’er was even more in disbelief. She broke free from Chu Yao’s control and ran to Ye Xingchen in grievance. She wanted to pounce on Ye Xingchen, but Zhao Hao, who was standing at the side, reached out and stopped her.
“Brother Xingchen, you’re joking with Rou’er, right? You clearly said that you wanted ro give Rou’er a good life. How could you… Your fairness and justice are all said to outsiders, right? Rou’er is not an outsider, so there’s no fairness!”
Ye Xingchen crossed his arms in front of his chest. “Oh, my fairness is for outsiders, so you mean you’re not an outsider? If you’re not an outsider, then what are you? Don’t tell me you want to say that you’re my wife?”
Coincidentally, Lin Sijia raised her head and glared fiercely at Chen Rou’er. Then, she dragged the big sack and leaned toward Ye Xingchen.
Seeing this, Ye Xingchen chuckled and simply raised his hand to pull Lin Sijia into his arms.
Chen Rou’er was in stark contrast ro Lin Sijia.
One was dressed in tattered clothes and had messy hair, while the other was well-dressed and neat. Although she was also covered in bulky winter clothes, for some reason, Lin Sijia looked much more noble than Chen Rou’er.
“Don’t talk nonsense, my wife is still standing here!” Ye Xingchen said.
“I’ve warned you time and time again before not to come close to me for no reason, so that my Jiajia won’t be unhappy.”
“But you, a big girl, can t you have some dignity? Don’t rush to stick to me for no reason, okay? You’re really not reserved at all.”
Chen Rou’er pouted and sat down on the ground. “No! No! You clearly said that you liked me rhe most! You even came to beg me to live in your house and be the mistress of your house! What do you mean by this now? Why did you go back on your word!”
Ye Xingchen looked at Chen Rou’er’s shameless appearance and felt even more amused in his heart. “Oh, you mean that?”
“Didn’t you say it yourself? You said that as long as I’m willing to let you live in my house and be the mistress of my house, you’ll let me do whatever 1 want?”
“That’s funny. Since when did 1 beg you to move in with me?”
Ye Xingchen’s eyes swept over Chen Rou’er. “Look at you now. You don’t look like the campus belle of Jinghai University at all.”
Chen Rou’er had paid the most attention to her image previously. After all, if her image was not good, how could she hook up with rich men?
Ye Xingchen’s words caused Chen Rou’er to quickly get up from the snow.
Ye Xingchen then looked at Sun Min and Chu Yao.. “Didn’t Chen Rou’er tell you two that I like her very much and that I won’t marry anyone but her? She even said that I’m going to bring her to my house?”
