Chapter 955: A Matter of Life and Death
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After Huangfu Jingzhang’s birthday celebration ended, Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an planned to return to the Hidden World. The Elite Compet.i.tion in the Hidden World was about to commence, and even if they didn’t partic.i.p.ate, they would still attend.
However, before heading back to the Hidden World, Ye Leng’an took some time off from school. After all, this trip would last about half a month, making it impossible for her to attend cla.s.ses. So, she had to apply for leave in advance.
After securing her leave, Ye Leng’an returned to the dormitory with a bag of snacks. Upon arrival, she found Zhu Bixuan and Ling Weiwei resting inside.
Setting the snacks on Zhu Bixuan’s desk, Ye Leng’an smiled and said, “Here, have some snacks. Consider it a token of appreciation for your help in tidying up the bed and other ch.o.r.es.”
Normally, Ye Leng’an didn’t spend much time in the dormitory. However, each time she returned, she found the bed neatly made and the place spotless. She knew without asking that it must have been Zhu Bixuan and Ling Weiwei who helped.
“Wow! Leng’an, you’re too kind,” Zhu Bixuan exclaimed, grabbing some snacks without hesitation. “I won’t be polite then! Actually, apart from me, Weiwei often helps you too. Don’t be fooled by her cold demeanor. She’s actually quite warm-hearted.”
“Don’t speak nonsense.” After hearing Zhu Bixuan’s words, Ling Weiwei’s cheeks turned red, and she glanced shyly at Ye Leng’an. But she maintained her tough facade, saying, “I didn’t help you on purpose. I just don’t want this dirty environment to affect my mood. So, don’t get any ideas!”
“Despite your sharp tongue, you have a good heart.” Zhu Bixuan teased Ling Weiwei, then turned to Ye Leng’an, saying, “Don’t mind her words. She’s actually a good person.”
Observing Ling Weiwei’s reaction, Ye Leng’an couldn’t help but smile. Despite their short time together, she could sense that Ling Weiwei, despite her aloof demeanor, harbored no ill intentions. Though her words might sting, she had a kind heart.
Seeing the smile on Ye Leng’an’s face, Ling Weiwei felt her cheeks flush. She felt a bit embarra.s.sed and quickly averted her gaze.
“By the way, Leng’an, don’t you have cla.s.ses today?” Zhu Bixuan, sucking on a lollipop, asked. “Why are you back at this hour?”
“I came back specifically to request leave,” Ye Leng’an replied with a faint smile. “I have some urgent matters to attend to, so I needed to ask for time off.”
“Wow! Leng’an, you make taking leave look so easy. The school really favors you. I wish I could take a few days off too. You have no idea how troublesome it is to apply for leave in our department!”
Zhu Bixuan’s envy was evident, but Ling Weiwei didn’t hesitate to point out the truth. “It’s not that taking leave is difficult because it’s troublesome. It’s because your grades are poor,” she said bluntly. “If I recall correctly, you barely pa.s.sed several subjects in the last semester’s finals. If you continue to take leave like this, beware of failing.”
“Weiwei, don’t kick someone when they’re down!” Zhu Bixuan pouted. “Are we still good friends? Why expose my flaws like this?”
Though Zhu Bixuan complained, there was no trace of anger in her tone.
“I’m just reminding you to be self-aware,” Ling Weiwei retorted. “When you become the top student in your year, topping every exam, the school might turn a blind eye to your leave requests.”
“Ah, I think I’d rather just dream,” Zhu Bixuan lamented, wearing a bitter expression. “I doubt I’ll ever see that day throughout my university life.”
Ye Leng’an chuckled as she watched Zhu Bixuan and Ling Weiwei banter. She could tell that they shared a close bond. However, she rarely spent time in the dormitory. As for Zhou Cui’an..
At the thought of Zhou Cui’an, Ye Leng’an’s gaze fell on a bed where neatly folded bedding lay. Seeing this, she couldn’t help but feel a hint of surprise.
“Bixuan, is Zhou Cui’an still living in the dormitory?” Ye Leng’an suddenly asked. “Didn’t she move out before?”
“Don’t ever mention her!” Zhu Bixuan’s expression soured as she spoke. “She moved out after an argument with us. Initially, I thought it was for the best, but who would have thought she’d move back later?”
Though Zhu Bixuan usually only returned to the dormitory to sleep, the thought of Zhou Cui’an still being there made her feel uncomfortable.
However, she couldn’t force Zhou Cui’an to leave. After all, Zhou Cui’an had paid for her accommodation. The school couldn’t compel her to leave, and neither could they!
Their relations.h.i.+p with Zhou Cui’an had deteriorated to the point where they wouldn’t even exchange greetings when they crossed paths.
Ye Leng’an nodded in understanding. She could guess what had happened.
Huangfu Shaohua was about to get married, so he had probably broken up with Zhou Cui’an. Without his financial support, Zhou Cui’an likely couldn’t afford to live elsewhere, so she could only return.
Otherwise, with Zhou Cui’an’s personality, she wouldn’t have willingly returned. Unless she had no other choice.
“Let’s not talk about her,” Zhu Bixuan said impatiently, waving her hand. “I feel uneasy whenever I see her. She always wears a sour expression, as if we owe her millions.”
Ye Leng’an chuckled and said nothing more.
As they conversed, a girl hurriedly entered the room.
Upon seeing Ye Leng’an still present, her eyes lit up. Stepping forward, she reached for Ye Leng’an’s hand, eager to drag her away. “Ye Leng’an, you’re here! That’s great! Come with me right away. It’s a matter of life and death.”
