"So...That day, those taxis in front of the Ren Mansion..." Yu Mei paused while he continued stroking her hair, her head was still resting on his chest as she asked, "Were they all here because of you?"
"Yes."
"And I was allowed to stay in the dormitory. Moreover, my room was different from the rest. Was it also because of you?"
He looked at the woman in his arms, "Yes."
Noticing how intimate their position was, she held the hand that was stroking her hair before sitting straight.
He immediately intertwined their fingers before she could take her hand back.
She cleared her throat, "I didn't like the cafeteria food before but now they serve me food which tastes as it landed straight from some five-star restaurant. Are you responsible for this?"
He nodded.
"And why does the owner of that place looks at me so gratefully all the time?"
"Because he likes money?" He raised an eyebrow.
She was speechless for a second, "Tell me in detail. You won't lie or dodge the topic."
Jun Zixuan pursed his lips, "I had Steward Gu pay them thrice their annual salary per week for doing a proper job."
"_" Rich people are so wilful!
No wonder they looked at her like she was a walking cash cow.
She bit her bottom lips, "When we are on cold war, shouldn't you continue treating me coldly? Why bother caring so much for me?"
She was obviously not that stupid. From the very first day, she had a feeling that all of these were done by him but because of how angry she was, she chose not to believe it or subconsciously avoided thinking about it.
"Cold war apart...I can't bear to see my baby panda starving because of the bad food."
The corner of her lips twitched. This man was surely looking for a fight. He should know that he shouldn't comment on a woman's weight, especially not when the woman is her who was rather sensitive about 'weight' topic after waking up in this body.
She tried to get her hand out of his grip but he held it tighter.
She sucked in a cold breath when his hand accidentally touched the spot where Yu Yan had pressed her heels.
Jun Zixuan's gaze darkened, "How did this happen?"
He caressed the swollen area on the back of her palm.
"Nothing much. It was just an accident."
He stood up from the couch and walked out of the room. She raised an eyebrow and followed after him.
Jun Zixuan walked straight inside the kitchen before taking out an ice pack from the refrigerator. Just as he turned around, she bumped straight into his chest.
The servants quickly left the kitchen to give the couple some privacy.
"Ow..." She rubbed her forehead.
He was speechless, "Why would you run after me like that?" He grabbed her hand and pressed the ice pack on the swollen area.
She laughed and leaned back on the kitchen counter, "When you act like this, I feel like..." She tilted her head to the side, looking at the man as he carefully applied the ice pack to her hand.
"Feel like what?" He asked, without lifting his gaze from her hand.
She leaned closer to his ear, ''I feel like you care about me more than you should."
"I do," He tilted his head and whispered beside her ear, ''I can care for you more and more."
The woman who was up to tease him ended up being teased by him. "After all, we are friends," She said, distancing her face from his.
"Yes, friends," He nodded, still applying the ice pack to her hand.
"They are addressing me as Young Madam. Why is that?" She asked, referring to the servants who were very persistent in addressing her as such.
"Mom asked them to."
"Oh," Yu Mei stood up straight, "Zixuan, it's late now. I should go back to the dormitory."
He glanced at her, "You can stay back."
She raised an eyebrow, "I did forgive you but it's not easy to forget everything," She nonchalantly said before turning around to leave, "It's kind of traumatic you know? I won't know when I'll be kicked out again so I'll better cling to my loyal dormitory,'' She clicked her tongue.
"Mei, you are holding grudges," He walked after her and a servant gave him the car keys.
"Oh? Am I?" She chuckled without looking back at him.
Jun Zixuan was speechless and helpless.
...
The next day.
"I heard that there was some ruckus yesterday," Li Shuang said, looking at the woman who had her chin propped on both her palms as she fantasized about something.
"Hmm..." Yu Mei nodded her head, still in a daze.
"So, what was it about?"
"A kiss?" Yu Mei sighed dreamily.
Li Shuang was speechless, "Kiss?"
"And a handsome man," Yu Mei sighed yet again as she blinked her starry eyes, looking at nowhere in particular.
Li Shuang snapped her fingers in front of her eyes.
Yu Mei snapped out of her trance and glanced at her, "Yeah?"
"I was asking something," Li Shuang spoke up looking at her blank face, "I asked what happened yesterday and you went on about some kiss and handsome man."
Yu Mei cleared her throat, "I was thinking about something," She paused for a moment before adding, "My step-sister was out to cause some trouble for me. Then, the step-brother came into the picture claiming that his sister is an angel. So, I pushed her off the roof."
"You will be trouble," Li Shuang's gaze flashed slightly but since Yu Mei was lost in her wonderland, she did not notice it.
"What kind of trouble?"
Just as Li Shuang opened her mouth to say something, Professor Zhang entered the classroom.
All the students greeted her. "Good afternoon, everyone," She greeted them back before looking at Yu Mei, "Student Yu, you are called to the Dean's office."
Yu Mei nodded. She had already expected this. She picked up her bag and walked out of the classroom.
Li Shuang gazed at her retreating back with a hint of worry on her cold face while the class erupted in chaos.
"Is it because of what happened yesterday?"
"It was that bitch's fault but now they are causing trouble for Yu Mei."
"Yes, our goddess just defended herself."
"By pushing her off the roof?"
"Well, she is so cool. It's not her fault."
"Yes, I don't think the Yu Family will be able to trouble her. Not to forget her powerful boyfriend backing her up."
