Аftеr rеаching her sеаt, shе finаllу let out a sigh оf rеlief.
She tоok her рhоnе оut оf hеr poсket and opened thе сhat windоw with Zhang Lurаng.
Тhе lаst messаgе disрlауed wаs a single "Mm" sеnt bу him.
Su Zaizаi felt inexрlicablу irritated.
Не wаs аlwауs likе this—just "mm, mm, mm," never willing tо sаy mоrе thаn a wоrd.
And whеn it сame tо imрortаnt moments, he immеdiately—
—"Nоt соming."
Su Zaizаi couldn’t supрrеss thе impulsе insidе hеr.
Неr fingеrs flew асross thе keуboard, tуping оut thrее words with hеаvу еmphasis.
—Zhang Lurаng.
There was no immеdiate reрly from thе othеr еnd.
Su Zaizаi felt it was time for her to explode.
Otherwise, even if she ended up with the great beauty in the future, she’d be completely dominated by him.
After some thought, she continued typing.
—I swear, if I ever look for you again, I’ll grow up eating dog poop.
After sending it successfully.
The other side immediately replied: …
His reply felt like it carried his presence across the distance.
…Instant regret.
On the other end, Zhang Lurang was also hesitating about how to reply.
She seemed really angry…
Before he could figure it out.
Another message came from her side.
Su Zaizai: I’m hungry.
Zhang Lurang paused, unable to understand how her emotions could change so quickly.
But he still pursed his lips and typed into the chat window: What do you want to eat?
Before he could send it, his phone vibrated again.
Su Zaizai: Is there any dog poop?
Zhang Lurang: "…"
He really didn’t understand what Su Zaizai was thinking about all day.
Zhang Lurang deleted the words he had just typed.
Then, he earnestly typed out six characters.
—No, eat properly.
Su Zaizai: "…"
The great beauty wasn’t coming.
Su Zaizai could only drag her bruised and battered self out of the classroom.
She had no other choice.
If the mountain won’t come to me, I’ll go to the mountain.
Chasing a man required this kind of perseverance.
Jiang Jia, who was behind her, looked up and sighed, shaking her head: "Injured in body but firm in spirit."
Su Zaizai walked slowly forward, passing by the office.
Just as she was about to turn and go down the stairs.
She immediately noticed Zhang Lurang coming up from downstairs.
Zhang Lurang saw her too.
His footsteps paused briefly before he continued walking upward.
Su Zaizai stopped moving, a big smile spreading across her lips.
"Lùràng, what are you doing on the fifth floor?" she asked knowingly.
Zhang Lurang glanced at her and replied, "Looking for the homeroom teacher."
Su Zaizai shamelessly continued, "When did I change my name to homeroom teacher?"
Zhang Lurang: "…"
"And Teacher Chen isn’t here. She doesn’t work weekends."
Hearing this, Zhang Lurang immediately stopped walking.
"Mm." Then he turned to leave.
Su Zaizai immediately hopped a few steps to catch up with him.
Hearing the commotion behind him, Zhang Lurang couldn’t help but look back.
"Su Zaizai."
Su Zaizai instinctively stopped: "Huh?"
He hesitated for a moment before saying, "I’ll come."
Before Su Zaizai could react, she heard him continue, "At this time."
Then, he sighed softly and added, "Don’t run around."
Su Zaizai obediently replied, "Oh."
She wanted to ask.
Did you only talk to me after eating my jelly?
No, that’s not right.
It wasn’t that powerful.
She wanted to know.
Why did just three sentences from you.
Have more effect than me eating a hundred jellies.
On Monday afternoon, the midterm exam results were released.Su Zai Zai only took a hurried glance when she returned to the classroom from the dormitory.
She ranked 825th in her grade, out of about fifteen hundred students in the entire freshman class.
But if you excluded the science composite score, her overall results were still pretty good.
Su Zai Zai was quite satisfied.
During the first evening self-study session, Su Zai Zai immediately dashed toward the door.
She stood at the stairwell, waiting for Zhang Lu Rang.
Soon, his figure appeared in Su Zai Zai’s line of sight.
Su Zai Zai called out crisply, “Lùràng.”
Zhang Lu Rang looked up at her and responded softly with a hum.
The two walked to the side.
He didn’t seem to be in a very good mood.
Su Zai Zai blinked and asked directly, “Are you in a bad mood?”
“No,” he replied.
“Did you eat the jelly?”
“…”
“Did you eat it?”
“…Yeah.”
“Eating jelly didn’t help?”
Zhang Lu Rang fell silent for a moment, then nodded.
“You’re really hard to please,” Su Zai Zai accused him.
Zhang Lu Rang: “…”
Su Zai Zai hesitated for a moment and said, “Then let me tell you a joke.”
“…”
Su Zai Zai cleared her throat and began.
“Liu Bei’s Dilu horse broke free and galloped toward a cliff. Zhang Fei anxiously shouted, ‘Big brother, hurry up and rein in the horse!’”
At this point, Su Zai Zai suddenly paused, gesturing with her fingers.
“‘Rein’ is the same ‘rein’ as in ‘extort.’”
Zhang Lu Rang remained silent, quietly watching her.
Su Zai Zai thought of the punchline and said while laughing, “Then Liu Bei angrily cursed, ‘I’m happy your motherf*cker!’”
Zhang Lu Rang’s expression remained blank.
“Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter. It’s funny every time I think of it.”
Not getting a response from him, Su Zai Zai stopped laughing and said innocently, “Isn’t it funny?”
He still didn’t speak.
After a while.
Zhang Lu Rang scolded her with a cold face, “Su Zai Zai, don’t swear.”
Su Zai Zai, who had originally thought this would cheer him up, immediately exploded.
“I didn’t say it! That was Liu Bei! What does that have to do with me!”
She had been inexplicably labeled as someone who swore.
Wouldn’t that lower her favorability points? She wasn’t having it!
She looked so angry she might jump up and hit him.
A few seconds later.
Her expression seemed to amuse Zhang Lu Rang.
His previously gloomy mood instantly vanished.
He chuckled softly.
The bell rang.
At the same time, he uttered a single word from his lips.
“Silly.”
His voice was filled with laughter.
Tuesday, first break during evening self-study.
Su Zai Zai had been thinking about it for a long time.
Only ten minutes a day was too unfair for her.
Before, during breaks and the afternoon reading room time, she could see him for at least an hour and a half a day.
Now it was only ten minutes!
Su Zai Zai decided to talk to him about it.
She thought for a moment and asked, “Can I go to the reading room with you to study in the afternoon?”
“No,” he refused immediately.
“But if I don’t go to the reading room in the afternoon, I won’t be able to resist going back to the dorm.”
Zhang Lu Rang replied casually, “Then go back.”
“Look, the dorm is so far from here. If I go back and forth every week…”
He glanced over.
Su Zai Zai said with a grave expression, “Fine, then remember to come collect my body.”
Zhang Lu Rang: “…”
Silence fell.
Zhang Lu Rang couldn’t hold back first. “You’re exaggerating.”
Su Zai Zai widened her eyes and accused him, “You think walking a bit is no big deal, so why did you tell me not to run around?”
Zhang Lu Rang: “…”Su Zai Zai suddenly realized.
She lowered her head, her expression seeming somewhat regretful.
"I get it, you've already gotten what you wanted from me."
"..."
"You used me and then ran off, you burn the bridge after crossing it."
"...What?"
Su Zai Zai drew a conclusion.
"I gave you all the jelly, so you don't need me anymore."
Zhang Lu Rang: "...Stop being ridiculous."
Seeing her fall silent.
Zhang Lu Rang looked down at her and immediately gave in: "Five thirty."
Hearing this, Su Zai Zai spoke up.
"Lùràng."
"Hmm."
"You really spoil me."
"..."
"I've decided to buy you six more packs of jelly."
Zhang Lu Rang: "..."
Early November.
Overnight, a cold wind swept in.
As soon as Zhang Lu Rang woke up, he felt his throat itching.
By afternoon, he had already started coughing.
He hesitated for a moment but decided to go back to the dormitory to sleep for a while in the afternoon.
During the break between classes, he went to Class Nine to find Su Zai Zai.
Su Zai Zai walked out of the classroom.
Seeing he didn't look well, she asked softly, "Are you sick?"
Zhang Lu Rang didn't answer, directly saying, "I'm not going to the reading room this afternoon."
"Oh." Su Zai Zai didn't ask further.
Having delivered the message, Zhang Lu Rang turned and walked back.
Su Zai Zai behind him called out again: "Sick Beauty."
Zhang Lu Rang: "..."
He really didn't want to turn around.
But Su Zai Zai didn't seem to need him to turn around.
Soon she continued, "Remember to check your phone when you get back to the dorm."
Zhang Lu Rang was woken up by his roommate.
His head was still a bit groggy.
He stood up, went to the bathroom to wash his face, and prepared to return to class.
His mind was blank, yet he inexplicably remembered Su Zai Zai's words.
—"Remember to check your phone when you get back to the dorm."
Zhang Lu Rang turned back to his locker, picked up his phone, and glanced at it.
—Those were all given by me.
A sentence that made no sense.
He replied somewhat baffled: What?
There was no reply from the other end.
Zhang Lu Rang didn't mind, putting his phone back.
Then he shouldered his backpack and walked out of the dorm.
After a while, he walked back in.
Took his phone out of the locker and put it in his pocket.
Returned to the classroom.
On Zhang Lu Rang's chair was a small brown blanket.
On the desk were a thermos and a bag of medicine.
Opening the bag, one of the medicine boxes inside had a sticky note attached.
On it was written a sentence.
—The Boss's favor.
Chapter 21
It feels a bit different.
But this feeling is really too good.
—"Su Zai Zai the Little Fairy's Diary"
Su Zai Zai sat down in her seat, full of melancholy.
"When a beauty gets sick, they look so delicate and fragile, making people feel pity and affection."
