Chapter 1202: Achieving One's Goals and Retiring

"Monster"After getting Zheng Ran's approval, Lian Ri changed her face again, this time disguising herself as a guard and openly leaving with the two instructors.

After returning to the city, she got off the bus in an inconspicuous place, washed off her makeup, restored her original appearance, and walked back to school.

As soon as Lian'yi returned to the dormitory, she was surrounded by her roommates. They all buzzed with questions about her mother's condition.

"Liàn Yī Jie, is Auntie doing okay Is there anything wrong"

"How did you get back You can stay here for the night. We've all decided that if you can't make it back tomorrow, we'll call in sick for you."

Ripple smiled patiently and explained:

"Thank you all for your concern, my mom is fine. She was just bumped by a robber and fell to the ground. I accompanied her to the hospital for a check-up, she didn't break any bones, just need to apply some red flower oil when we go back."

My mom didn't want to keep me from class, so she sent me back. She said that other people were surprised and that if those people hadn't dragged her to the hospital, she probably would have finished cooking dinner.

Seeing Lian Yi's relaxed expression, the four of them knew her family was fine. It was probably just a false alarm, and they all felt relieved. The conversation then shifted to what they had bought during their shopping trip today.

All the girls in the dorm were at the age where they cared about their looks, so each one bought a bra and even showed Ripples.

"Your eyes are good, they look great on you, I'm so tempted to buy one too."

Ripple showered him with praise.

"Ripple Sister, I'll take you next week, maybe we can haggle a lower price."

Qian Luo Xi immediately proposed.

"Okay, then next week, let's catch up on the streets we didn't get to this week." Let me know if you have any other translations!

Because she was coming to college here, Xing's mother went to the county town specially and had two new outfits made for Lianyi. She even gritted her teeth and bought a pair of small leather shoes for her, thinking that her daughter was no worse than others and couldn't be dressed too poorly.

So from the perspective of clothing, Ripples wasn't the worst dressed at school, she was just average. However, she chose to go with the flow and didn't want to stand out.

The next day, LianYi and her roommate went to school together. After class, they specially went to see the homeroom teacher and explained the situation. The teacher was relieved.

At lunchtime when they went to the cafeteria, the five of them met Hu Xingbang again who was trying to curry favor with them.

Everyone didn't say much either. The dining hall is a public space, you can't restrict others from eating there!

"Hi, Xing! What a coincidence, I keep running into you guys these days."

Hu Xingbang struck first, voicing the thoughts of all five.

The ripples were only a polite nod, then she spoke:

"The chef here cooks really delicious dishes, and the buns are also very tasty."

"Is that so I haven't had my buns yet, I'm going to buy some, do you want me to bring you a few"

Hu Xinhang immediately climbed up the pole and said.

"Thank you, today I want to eat rice. It's already cooked."

Ripples smiled and refused.

A joke: If they ate the food made by Hu Xingbang, they would be considered related even if they weren't. In this day and age, people who aren't on good terms definitely wouldn't casually invite someone else to eat.

Though Hu Xingbang was rejected, he didn't get discouraged. He just sat at the table next to Lian Yi and her friends, eating and looking for topics to talk about.

As they returned to their dormitory, the youngest, Li Xingyue, looked at Lianyi with great interest and said:

"Ripples, I think Hu Xingbang has a crush on you."

I also found out that we've been bumping into each other at the cafeteria every day for a whole week. I definitely don't believe he doesn't have any thoughts about it.

Sun Guoguo immediately nodded in agreement.

Zhao Xiner and Qian Luoxi looked at each other, then said to Lianyi:

"Sister Li, what do you think This Hu Xingbang comes from a pretty powerful family."

"I don't have any ideas about that. I'm here to learn, not to fall in love. Besides, even if he has a good background, his family would definitely look down on me as a poor student. We come from different worlds, and I don't want to make things difficult for myself."

Ripple said it plainly, some gaps are innate. The original owner was just an ordinary farmer's girl. Getting into college was like a fish leaping over the dragon gate, but she couldn't compare to those families who had accumulated wealth for two or three generations.

Before, the original owner had no choice but to marry Li Xiangjun. It was because it was the best marriage she thought she could have. Lianyi is not the original person, she understands her situation more clearly.

"If Sister Ripples doesn't have any ideas, she should try to minimize contact with him."

Zhao Xiner kindly pointed out.

"I know, so for the next week, would you mind helping me with lunch I'll go straight back to my dorm after school and be responsible for getting water for all of you. This way, we can avoid that awkward period. I believe the class monitor will understand."

Ripples spoke immediately.

"That's fine."

Qian Luoxi was the first to speak up and took on the task of cooking. It's a small thing.

As expected, Hu Xingbang didn't bump into Lian Yi again for the rest of the week. He could only see her in class because all five of them entered and left together. There was simply no chance to talk to Lian Yi privately.

It was another weekend, and Ripple was told to go to the transmission room to collect mail. She was taken aback for a moment, knowing that only villagers knew she had passed the university entrance exam, but she hadn't left her specific address. Who could have sent her a letter

With a questioning mind, she went to the transmission room and retrieved the letter. Then, she found a quiet place and tore open the envelope.

In the result, a bank draft came out, along with some bills and a small note that read "Mission accomplished, rewards issued."

R ripples looked at the numbers on the deposit slip, a full thousand yuan. This surprised her greatly; she hadn't expected to cash in the reward so quickly. She thought it would take some time. With this kind of task, she could take on several more.

Tomorrow is her day off, so she's going to take advantage of it and buy some new clothes. She's been wanting a new bra, and since the weather here is so hot, she'll also pick up two summer outfits for her parents. It's too stuffy to wear long sleeves anymore.

As the ripples subsided and she stood up, she happened to see Hu Xingbang walking towards her.

Hu Xingbang also saw ripples, and the other party was alone, with no other female classmates around. He immediately walked over.

Rill is a bit bothersome, isn't her performance not obvious enough

Perhaps the disdain in Ripple's eyes was too obvious. Hu Xingbang abruptly stopped in his tracks. After all, for someone like him, a child of privilege, being adored by everyone around him was the norm. Being disliked was a first, and the other person's expression was so blatant that it made him feel uncomfortable.

Ripples watched as the other person stopped in their tracks and turned in a different direction, not even wanting to brush past each other.

Hu Xingbang watched Ripples' retreating figure, his face clouded with uncertainty. After a while, he turned and left.

The next day, Lianyi and Qianlu went out together to buy a blue plaid braji. They also bought summer clothes for their parents. Then the two parted ways.

When Lian Yi brought the summer clothes back home and gave them to Xing's parents, both of them scolded her for spending money carelessly. However, their loving gestures betrayed their true feelings.

The ripples secretly gave the promissory note to Old Xing. Old Xing was also taken aback when he saw the numbers on it.

"Yo-yo, how come there's so much money"

"This is my bonus, you keep it for emergencies. Don't let my mom find out, it will be hard to explain later."if we bring her back, it won't make up for our losses."No, sir. As long as we keep her under control, she can use her vampire status to enter the vampires' territory and retrieve the crucial samples w...
