Chapter 35: A Small Villain Who Wants to Spend Everyone’s Money
The moment the admission notice was in his hands, the weight on Yu Deng’s heart finally lifted.
After staying at home for half a month, Yu Deng felt bored and wanted to head out.
Zhou Yuejun put some change in Yu Deng’s bag, found the clothes he needed to wear for going out, and nagged him to be careful of the heat before reluctantly heading out to work.
[System 107: Now that the tuition is settled, don’t be frugal. You need to spend more of Zhou Yuejun’s money. It’s best to spend every cent he has outside of the tuition.]
“Mhm mhm!”
Yu Deng went on a shopping spree along the food street, eating and drinking until his mouth never stopped moving.
Various bags were dangling from his hands, becoming a bit of a burden.
He carefully tucked the non-perishable leftovers into his bag, planning to eat them for lunch or bring them back for Zhou Yuejun in the evening.
The sun eventually became too much for Yu Deng. Sweaty and dizzy, his small face was steamed to a moist pink, looking even more magnificent and delicate. Only then did he slowly make his way toward the library.
The library’s entry fee had increased. It used to be thirty cents a day, but now it was fifty cents. However, more people were coming here instead of fewer.
It was because they had installed air conditioning.
Yu Deng paid and entered the library. The cool breeze was so refreshing and comfortable that Yu Deng wished he could just sleep on the floor.
Yu Deng remembered he hadn’t finished the mystery novel from last time. Unsure if its location had been moved, he headed straight for that row of bookshelves.
“Yu Deng!”
The sudden shout was a bit loud for the library. Yu Deng was startled, but before he could look around for the source, Qiao Fangyu had already run up to him.
“Y-You’re here?”
“You haven’t come for so many days. I thought… I thought you…”
He thought Yu Deng was never coming back.
His emotions were so intense for a moment that Qiao Fangyu’s entire face turned beet red.
Because he had broken their “appointment,” Yu Deng felt a bit embarrassed and let out an “Aiya.” “I’ve been busy lately, so I didn’t have time to come.”
He looked so well-behaved, his features beautiful and ethereal. When his exquisite eyes held a smile, he was even harder to look away from than a celebrity on TV.
A single point of his vibrant charm was already enough to snatch one’s soul.
Qiao Fangyu had been coming every day lately, arriving the earliest and leaving the latest. He had been guarding this single row of bookshelves, not even leaving for food or the bathroom.
Having not seen him for half a month, his will had become increasingly withered and listless. There were dark circles under his eyes, making him look a bit like… someone who had overindulged in debauchery.
Without Qiao Fangyu’s knowledge, Yu Deng had already labeled him a “profligate seeker of wine and women” in his heart.
Qiao Fangyu was completely oblivious. Seeing Yu Deng suddenly appear, dressed all in white, he felt as if he were dreaming—that it was all just a hazy hallucination.
He raised his hand and lightly pinched Yu Deng’s cheek.
