Liu Yuanyuan patted Lie Qing's head in annoyance, then turned around and took out a piece of beef strips from the house for him.

"There are rewards and punishments. Being brave is a good thing, but being too impulsive puts yourself and others in danger. The spanking you just now was a punishment, and this strip of meat is a reward."

Lie Qing was no longer aggrieved when he saw the beef strips. He immediately grabbed the strips of beef, wagging his tail happily, and went to the dog bowl in his corner to eat them. As he ate, he kept muttering, "The food fed by the two-legged beasts is getting more and more delicious."

Liu Yuanyuan arrived at school early in the morning and thought she had arrived early enough, but she didn't expect that Bian Xiaohui also came early today.

Before she sat down, Bian Xiaohui came to Liu Yuanyuan excitedly with a book in her arms, and slammed the book on her desk with a bang.

"Yuanyuan, look, I actually found that book. It's really good, so sweet, it's exactly the kind of love I long for. I started reading it from the beginning again last night. I'll lend it to you when I'm done."

Liu Yuanyuan glanced at the book, which was called "Between Light Years." She still remembered it; Bian Xiaohui had recommended it to her in her previous life.

She still remembered that the book ended in tragedy, with the heroine dying and the hero getting into a car accident just to see her one last time. She remembered that when Bian Xiaohui finished reading it, she cried and talked to her for almost the entire night.

She never thought that she would see the physical copy of this book in her lifetime.

Liu Yuanyuan smiled, picked up the book, flipped through it, and said, "Okay, remember to lend it to me when you're done reading it."

Bian Xiaohui nodded vigorously, then pulled some other items from her school uniform pocket and placed them in front of Liu Yuanyuan. "The most important thing is that this book is actually an authentic copy, with the author's signature on it. Look, there's also a postcard and a medal. Since it's a late stock, I feel like I'm getting a great deal with the discount."

Seeing Bian Xiaohui's excitement, Liu Yuanyuan suddenly wanted to give her a spoiler of the outcome. But she thought about how Bian Xiaohui had called her in tears and was heartbroken in her past life, and finally suppressed this little thought.

If this is a real spoiler, I guess Bian Xiaohui will strangle herself.

Fan Sien hurried to the classroom when class was almost about to start. Although he didn't know what she had experienced after he left, it was obvious that she had not rested well, and there were dark circles under her eyes.

Seeing that Liu Yuanyuan had arrived, he smiled, nodded at her, and said, "Good morning," without saying anything else.

After Fan Sien had packed up and taken out her textbooks, Liu Yuanyuan looked around and quietly took out the bank card that Grandpa Tang gave her and put it in Fan Sien's hand.

When Fan Sien saw the bank card, his hand shook violently as if he had been electrocuted, and he quickly stuffed the card back into Liu Yuanyuan's pocket.

"What are you doing?"

Liu Yuanyuan wanted to give her bank card to Fan Sien again.

But Fan Si'en stopped him: "Alright, you just had an accident and stayed in the hospital for so long, your family must not be well off. And Qingqing's condition is not too serious. Apart from being unable to communicate, she eats and sleeps as usual and looks like a normal person.

So apart from the hospital fees and some medicine costs, there aren't many expenses, and my family can still afford it for now. You don't have to help me."

"My family's situation is fine. This is the compensation the driver paid me when I was in the car accident. After paying for medical expenses and hospitalization, there's still a little left. You can use it for now and pay me back when you have more money."

Fan Sien shook his head firmly: "No, my parents and I have already thought of a way to make money. So there is really no need."

Seeing that Fan Si'en was determined not to accept it, Liu Yuanyuan did not force him, but she had a new understanding of Fan Si'en's stubbornness.

However, from that day on, Liu Yuanyuan would invite Fan Sien to eat with her.

Because he eats a lot, he orders a lot, so he pretends that he can't finish it and gives some to Fan Sien. This way, Fan Sien can spend less money on food.

After all, given Fan Sien's family's situation, the more money they can save, the better.

Although Bian Xiaohui was a little confused, she still secretly asked Liu Yuanyuan what was going on.

As a result, Bian Xiaohui instantly softened her heart and wanted to protect Fan Sien like an older sister, which made Fan Sien very embarrassed.

But the feelings between the three people became deeper.

After the evening self-study get out of class, Liu Yuanyuan was about to leave when Bian Xiaohui suddenly screamed, which frightened Liu Yuanyuan so much that she shuddered.

I quickly put down my schoolbag and ran over, asking worriedly, "What's going on? What happened?"

Bian Xiaohui looked like she was about to cry. She grabbed Liu Yuanyuan's hand and shook it vigorously, saying, "My copy of 'Light Years Away' is gone. Even the freebies are gone. It must have been stolen. How despicable."

After saying that, he pulled Liu Yuanyuan up to the podium, picked up the blackboard eraser, and slammed it on the desk. With red eyes, he said viciously, "Whoever took my copy of 'Light Years Across', stand up! You stole a book worth over 30 yuan. How dare you do that?"

At this time, Xiang Yushan from the podium actually spoke up. She smiled and said in a sweet voice, "Student Bian Xiaohui, you can't just casually suspect our classmates. Have you ever considered that it might have been our head teacher who took it? I've told you before, buying locks and the like is useless. He can't search the dormitory, but he can search our desks."

Xiang Yushan’s words stunned Bian Xiaohui. She had indeed never thought about this question.

Other students in the class also discussed it in a low voice, thinking that Xiang Yushan's guess was very likely.

Liu Yuanyuan also pulled Bian Xiaohui's hand, signaling her not to be impulsive.

But Bian Xiaohui was unconvinced and wanted to argue a few more words. Xiang Yushan smiled and tucked her hair behind her ears, then continued, "Besides, you have no evidence. You can't just say we stole your book for no reason. So please don't waste our time any longer. Time is precious. We still need to go back and wash up."

The girls who were close to Xiang Yushan immediately responded, "Just don't waste our time. Wait until you produce evidence before we hold you accountable. Okay, everyone, let's go."

Bian Xiaohui's eyes were red, and she looked like she was about to cry. She bit her lip and watched Xiang Yushan and those girls leave without looking back.

Xu Yang and Zhou Sheng rushed to the podium upon seeing this situation. Xu Yang frowned and said, "Xiaohui, when was the last time you saw a book?"

Bian Xiaohui wiped the tears from her eyes, pursed her lips, and said in a tearful voice, "I saw it when I left the classroom before dinner. I didn't notice it when I came back, and I only realized it was gone when I was packing my bag just now."
