SWNOVELS Chapter 1611
Yuchi Yishu arranged his pillows. “Just lie down if you’re tired. I’ve turned on the fan for you.”
“Thanks, Yishu.”
Tang Yuanyuan didn’t speak anymore, but she didn’t lie down either. Mainly because she felt that she was sweating profusely, and she was afraid that his bedsheets would smell. After all, she wanted to leave a good impression on Yishu.
Also, it was a male’s dormitory. There wasn’t just Yishu and Zhong Chufeng in the room. There were two other guys that she didn’t know, so she couldn’t just lie down and take a rest there.
Yuchi Yishu left to boil water, and Tang Yuanyuan sat on his bed awkwardly.
Meanwhile, Zhong Chufeng spent a long time rummaging through his drawer, and he finally filled a bag full of junk food before bringing it over to Yuanyuan.
“Here you go! These are all the snacks that I saved. I wanted to give them all to you, so I didn’t eat any of it.”
It was a bag full of junk food. The old Tang Yuanyuan would’ve looked at it with sparkly eyes. Unfortunately, she was currently on a diet, so even though she really wanted to eat them, she still had to restrain herself from doing so.
Hence, she smiled and shook her head. “Chufeng, you can keep them for yourself. I don’t want them.”
Hearing that, Zhong Chufeng was disappointed.
“Yuanyuan, I specifically kept all of these for you. Are you sure you don’t want them?”
“Yes.” Tang Yuanyuan nodded. “I have to control my intake of junk food.”
After explaining, she lowered her eyes, ashamed to reject his offer again.
Zhong Chufeng realized that the current Tang Yuanyuan was a lot thinner than the last time he met her. She looked much slimmer, and it felt like the cute and round girl would disappear very soon.
Zhong Chufeng felt upset when he thought that he was the cause of all these.
“Yuanyuan, I know eating too much junk food is unhealthy, but it’s okay to have them once in a while. If you don’t believe me, why don’t we eat them together?”
Tang Yuanyuan was always fond of eating, and now that she had completely cut that habit off, Zhong Chufeng felt distressed.
Tang Yuanyuan looked up at Zhong Chufeng. She stared deeply into his eyes for a moment and said, “Okay Chufeng, I’ll take the snacks back with me.”
“Really?”
“Sure.”
“Okay, I’ll give them all to you!” Zhong Chufeng was happy to hear that she was willing to take them back.
Meanwhile, Yuchi Yishu was done with boiling the water, and he filled a glass and left it on the table. He didn’t say a word when he saw Zhong Chufeng giving her a bag of junk food.
“Oh, Yuanyuan, why did you suddenly come to our academy today? Was it because you missed us?”
Tang Yuanyuan remembered the purpose of her visit. She came to pass Zhang Xiaolu and Yuan Yuehan’s gifts to Yuchi Yishu.
She shook her head and looked at Yuchi Yishu. “Yishu, my roommates asked me to hand these gifts to you.”
“Roommates?”
Yuchi Yishu paused for a moment. “What gifts?”
“I have no idea either.”
“Was it the two boxes that I brought in earlier?”
“Yes.”
Zhong Chufeng brought the two boxes over and joked. “I was wondering what was inside when I brought them upstairs just now. I knew it definitely wasn’t something that you would have chosen, but I didn’t expect it to be a gift from your roommates. Don’t tell me it’s from Meng Kefei.”
“Fei? Oh no, she has been very busy with her studies lately. It’s been a while since I’ve last spoken to her.”
Hearing that Meng Kefei was immersed in her studies, Zhong Chufeng laughed unexpectedly and changed the topic. “So it’s from the other two roommates?”
“Yes.”
“Oh.”
The two roommates who pretended to be reading at their desks couldn’t help but get up and join in the fun.
“Yuan, do these two roommates of yours have a crush on your brother?”
Hearing that, Tang Yuanyuan’s face blushed and she did not answer.
“Look, Yishu is so charming that even Yuan’s roommates are interested in him.”
Zhong Chufeng wanted to unwrap the presents in front of everyone, but Tang Yuanyuan suddenly thought of something and stopped him.
“Chufeng.”
“Hmm?” Zhong Chufeng raised his head. “What’s the matter?”
“These are the gifts my roommates got for my brother.”
Zhong Chufeng froze for a moment, but he regained his senses quickly and understood Tang Yuanyuan’s meaning.
It was a gift for Yuchi Yishu, so of course Yuchi Yishu had to be the one to open it. After all, it wasn’t for himself, so Zhong Chufeng immediately raised his hands in surrender.
“I’m sorry, Yuanyuan. I didn’t do it on purpose. It was just that your brother had always received gifts from many girls, and he usually refuses to accept them. However, those girls would always figure out different ways to hand their gifts over to us. Your brother would never accept them, and those girls would never take them back, so in the end, we would just unwrap them.”
“That’s true.” The other two roommates agreed. “We’re used to it already. It’s one of the benefits of being your brother’s roommates. Those girls will always give him chocolates, or wallets, sometimes even food. However, your brother never accepts them, so we get to have them.”
Tang Yuanyuan was dumbfounded. “I didn’t know things worked this way.”
Wasn’t this a waste of their gifts? If Tang Yuanyuan was treated this way when she gave someone a gift, she would be heartbroken.
“Yuanyuan, don’t think too much. Your brother has no choice but to reject all of those gifts. Think about it, so many girls are trying to give him gifts, and if he accepted each and every one of it, he wouldn’t have the time to do anything else. He can’t be taking gifts from one girl but not the other, right? That would be unfair to the other girls. So, he simply decided to not accept any of it, so it would be fair to all of them.”
Tang Yuanyuan was comforted by Zhong Chufeng’s words.
It seems impossible to accept all of their gifts. After all, Yishu does not live for them, so it seems fair to simply reject all of them.
However, it would still be heartbreaking to know that the meticulously prepared gift was not delivered to the person who was supposed to receive it.
“What are you thinking about?”
Yuchi Yishu reached out and caressed Tang Yuanyuan’s head. “It’s what they want to do. I can’t control that. If you were the one who gave me something, I’ll be sure to unwrap it carefully myself.”
“Okay!”
The other two roommates hooted. “I didn’t expect Yishu to have such a warm side. He’s such a protective brother!”
“I finally witnessed it. I used to think Yishu never cared about girls.”
Inexplicably, Zhong Chufeng felt a little strange when he heard that. He was upset and immediately said, “Shut up. Stop spouting nonsense.”
Tang Yuanyuan blushed and asked, “Yishu, are you trying to say that you don’t want these gifts?”
“Yes.”
Yuchi Yishu nodded.
Tang Yuanyuan thought her only choice was to bring them back.
“Yuanyuan, I think you better not bring them back. If you bring them back, they might blame you for not giving it to him. Just tell them that your brother has accepted them, and you have no idea what he did with them.”
“I can’t do that.”
Tang Yuanyuan shook her head. She had always been honest, and would never deceive anyone, let alone her roommates.
“I have promised them to pass these gifts to Yishu. If Yishu refuses to accept them, then I will have to bring them back and return it as well as clarify with them.”
