Chapter 46: 046 We are a Kind of People_1
""Lu Qingyi."
There was a small path from the convenience store to the dormitory, which was a shortcut, Lu Qingyi had always liked to walk.
Xia Yin appeared at the end of the path like a ghost, her eyes somewhat ominous.
She just looked at Lu Qingyi, quite eerie in the night.
But Lu Qingyi was not an ordinary person, and she remained composed.
"It’s monthly holiday, why didn’t you go home?"
Xia Yin took a few steps forward, the corner of her mouth curled up in a mocking smile, showing no signs of subservience.
Perhaps, this version of Xia Yin was the real her: dark inside, with a twisted personality.
"Aren’t you also not going home?"
Lu Qingyi crossed her arms, her lips tugged into a smirk as she looked at the girl before her.
In such a huge school, likely just her and Xia Yin remained in the dormitory.
"You are the Miss of the Lu Family after all."
Xia Yin seemed to be murmuring to herself, her gaze fixed intently on Lu Qingyi.
The family background of Lu Qingyi was what she envied, even if Lu Qingyi was not favored, she was still the Miss of the Lu Family.
"Do you like this identity?" Lu Qingyi arched an eyebrow, a smile playing on her lips as she looked at Xia Yin.
If she could choose, she would rather be born in a less wealthy family, rather than being the daughter of Lu Yao and Yao Meishu.
"Can I have it if I like it?"
Xia Yin laughed, albeit somewhat forced.
Having grown up in a less affluent family, she was most envious of the everyday lives of these daughters of wealthy families.
Just a single bag or piece of clothing they carried could be worth her living expenses for several months.
Why could there be such a gap between people?
Lu Qingyi found it somewhat amusing.
"What are you holding in your hand?" Xia Yin glanced down, noticing the bag that Lu Qingyi was carrying.
The shopping bag was stuffed to the brim, it looked quite heavy.
"Is it any of your business?"
Lu Qingyi’s eyes turned cold, she sidestepped Xia Yin.
"Lu Qingyi, we are the same type."
Xia Yin suddenly grabbed Lu Qingyi’s arm, speaking slowly.
"Let go."
The touch on her arm was extremely uncomfortable. Lu Qingyi frowned and said, clearly displeased.
"We both have parents who do not love us."
You were too slow to fall; Xia Yin not only didn’t let go, but her grip tightened.
Her parents prized boys over girls, naturally, they didn’t like her. She wasn’t valued by her parents, she didn’t obtain her parents’ favor.
As for Lu Qingyi, she only knew that her parents never liked her, but she didn’t know why.
Lu Qingyi laughed, "So what?"
"So we should be the best of friends." As Xia Yin spoke, she gazed upward at Lu Qingyi, seeming quite hopeful.
She was petite, a full head shorter than Lu Qingyi.
Like-minded people should be friends, Xia Yin always thought so. In her eyes, Lu Qingyi and her were the same kind of person.
She had no friends, she needed friends, so she thought Lu Qingyi could be her friend.
With a "crack", the sound of breaking bones rang out.
"Ah." Xia Yin choked on her pain, clutching her wrist incredulously as she looked at Lu Qingyi, shock and anger in her eyes.
"I told you to let-go."
Lu Qingyi pulled out a tissue, wiping her hand casually as she spoke, her tone nonchalant.
She looked at Xia Yin, expressionless, radiating a sense of indifference.
"Heh, you’re quite amusing." After a few seconds, Lu Qingyi chuckled, her tone mocking.
Xia Yin’s situation was indeed pitiful, but Lu Qingyi didn’t think she was worthy of sympathy.
There’s always something hateful about a pathetic person. Just Xia Yin’s biased thinking was enough to make one sick.
"Lu Qingyi, you....."
Xia Yin staggered backward, biting her lower lip, tears glimmering in her eyes.
The pain was piercing, like a drill boring into her heart.
How could Lu Qingyi have such strength?
"This is the last time."
Lu Qingyi glanced at Xia Yin with a meaningful look, then left without a backward glance.
It wasn’t that she was soft-hearted, she just thought Xia Yin, who desperately desired parents’ love, closely resembled her younger self, and felt that Xia Yin was quite pitiful.
After coming to the First High School, her temper had eased considerably, but there always seemed to be people unwilling to let her temper remain subdued.
Lu Jiayue was one, Xia Yin was another, perhaps there were others.
Lu Qingyi returned to her empty dormitory, where she was the only occupant.
Being accustomed to solitude, she now only found the dormitory more spacious, more comfortable.
The food in the thermos box was all to her liking, green pepper with thinly sliced meat, a scant amount of minced meat, and the snacks were also all to her taste.
Lu Qingyi chuckled slightly. Xu Boyan was really attentive to her.
Despite being a seemingly indifferent man, he was more considerate than anyone she’d ever met. He seemed to remember all her tastes.
As for her... she only knew that Xu Boyan didn’t eat spicy food and knew nothing else.
Thinking of this, Lu Qingyi felt some regret.
Should she make an effort to understand Xu Boyan more?
[Are you back at the dormitory?]
Just as she was thinking this, a message from Xu Boyan came.
[I’m back. The food is delicious, and I love the snacks.]
Lu Qingyi bit her lower lip as she typed the message.
She was a very picky eater, a trait that her grandmother had always teased her about as a child.
Her grandmother always said that as an extremely selective eater, she would never be able to find a husband. She said that she was too skinny, and men didn’t like to touch skinny women because it wasn’t comfortable.
Xu Boyan was the first man to know her tastes clearly, also the first to care so much about her.
[Good to know that you like it, eat more, you’re too skinny.]
Xu Boyan’s text message came back swiftly.
Too skinny?
Lu Qingyi stared blankly at the message. She pinched her arm and thigh and looked at herself in the mirror several times.
No flesh.
She did seem rather skinny.
Xu Boyan watched for a long time as Lu Qingyi didn’t respond. He wasn’t angry but instead smirked.
"Xu Yi, did you buy the green peppers?"
He seemed to think of something and tapped the desk to ask.
His voice was rather cold.
"Yes," Xu Yi replied.
Although he was very curious about why Xu Boyan had asked him to buy so many green peppers, he didn’t dare to ask.
"Hmm." Xu Boyan stood up and headed for the kitchen.
Xu Yi: "???"
He was confused.
What was he doing in the kitchen?
Everyone knows that Xu Boyan has a cleanliness obsession and never sets foot in greasy places. He never goes into the kitchen.
"Are you cooking?"
Xu Yi stood surprised at the kitchen entrance, his eyes wide as he watched Xu Boyan clean the chopping board and knife, then dump the green peppers into a bowl.
"Learning."
Xu Boyan spat out two words coldly.
Yes, he was learning.
Because, he had never cooked before and had never stepped into a kitchen.
Xu Yi: "....."
Someone please tell him he’s hallucinating.
He had never imagined that the unworldly Xu Boyan would one day step into a kitchen!
Xu Boyan didn’t spare a glance at the bewildered Xu Yi. Instead, he studied the recipe very seriously.
