I snagged a bargain in a melodramatic novel and became incredibly wealthy!

Early in the morning, Cai Yi was exercising on the rooftop of his villa.

Caiyi wiped his sweat, stood still for a while to rest, then took a shower and came to the table where breakfast had already been laid out.

Breakfast was noodles with a poached egg and greens. It looked simple, but it was surprisingly delicious.

Cai Yi's fair face was bulging with a mouthful of noodles. She gave Xiao Baihua a thumbs up and said, "So delicious!"

Xiao Baihua smiled and shook her head: "Hurry up and eat, I have class later, and I remember it's right after my class ends, so remember not to be late."

"Remember to wash the dishes after you finish eating."

After saying her last sentence, Xiao Baihua picked up her lesson plan and prepared to leave.

Cai Yi nodded, and as Xiao Baihua was changing her shoes in the entryway, he asked, "Do you still have that blood-activating and stasis-removing medicine?"

Xiao Baihua glanced at Cai Yi's face with some surprise. Apart from the light pink scar, the bruise had almost faded and was barely noticeable unless you looked closely. She asked, "Your injury is almost healed. You don't need any medicine."

Cai Yi shoveled another mouthful of noodles into his mouth and said, "It's not for me, it's for Wei Yan."

"When he rescued that student yesterday, while he was hanging from the balcony, those students kept stomping on and kicking him."

"It doesn't look like anything on his face, but I think he must be injured, after all, we are only mortals."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Baihua stopped what she was doing, went back to her room, and took out the ointment, placing it on the table.

She instructed Caiyi, "When Shanhe applies the medicine to him, massage it a little; it will help him heal faster."

After saying that, she went out the door.

Wei Yan and Shan He also got up very early. While Cai Yi was still slurping his food, the two of them had already come downstairs.

Cai Yi didn't even look up, focusing on slurping his noodles, and called out to Wei Yan, "Wei Yan, that's the medicine Xiao Baihua gave you. Remember to have Shanhe give it to you later."

Wei Yan's face was stern, but perhaps because she had just woken up, her dark eyes were not as cold as usual, but rather showed a hint of gentleness.

They sat upright at the dining table, picked up their bowls of noodles, and ate quickly, finishing their bowls in less than ten minutes.

When Shanhe was about to take the bowl to wash it, Caiyi stopped him: "Put it there, I'll wash it after I finish eating. Go and rub Weiyan's wound."

Shanhe didn't stand on ceremony, picked up the medicine on the table, and went back to the room with Wei Yan.

When they came out, Caiyi had already tidied up the table, washed the dishes, and gone to the teaching building.

She came outside the classroom and stood quietly by the window, watching like a ghost.

Xiao Baihua explained to them how colors should appear under different lighting conditions. She talked a lot, but Cai Yi didn't hear a single word.

Because her gaze fell on Jiang Li, she was a little surprised that the female lead wasn't in the same classroom as the eccentric man.

Maybe the story hasn't reached that point yet.

"Alright, now it's your free time to draw."

Xiao Baihua had already noticed Cai Yi's arrival, but she didn't pay any attention to him.

She is now a teacher, mainly teaching classes.

She was patrolling the student housing when she found Jiang Li motionless.

Jiang Li held a broken paintbrush in her hand, and the paint box at her feet was mottled and the original colors were no longer visible. The palette had also been deliberately crushed.

Her face was filled with anger, but her voice was clear and strong: "Don't think that this will make me back down. I know who is in charge of you."

“I’m telling you, even if my tools are broken or damaged, I can still paint these pictures well.”

"After all, I'm not like you rich kids who rely on your parents and are good for nothing!"

Xiao Baihua had originally planned to lend Jiang Li her paint box and brushes, but seeing her actions, she decided it wasn't necessary.

The girl used the tip of her brush to scoop out the mottled paint from the paint box. There wasn't much clean paint left at the bottom, but it was enough for her.

She didn't have a palette; she just mixed colors directly on the clothes.

She was focused, the morning sunlight streaming through the window onto her face and the lifelike painting in her hand.

The painting is rich in color, vibrant, and has a strong sense of sunshine, just like her—indomitable, like the bright sun in the sky.

Unsurprisingly, Jiang Li's painting received a high score from Xiao Baihua, and she ranked first in the class.

Xiao Baihua really liked her painting. It wasn't the best painting she had ever seen, but it was her favorite. Looking at it gave her a feeling of spiritual purification.

Art classes, especially those involving drawing, end very quickly.

Jiang Li glanced disdainfully at the people in her class, then went to the bathroom to wash the paint off her hands.

Caiyi followed behind her and, sure enough, saw the girl washing the paint stains off her clothes by herself at the sink. As she washed, she started to cry, her cries were very soft and she looked very aggrieved.

Sigh, no matter what, she's just a naive college student who hasn't experienced much of the world. So many people are targeting her, and she hasn't done anything wrong, so no one would feel aggrieved.

But what she felt wronged about wasn't being bullied, but rather why those people had the right to bully her when they were completely unreasonable.

So she was able to hold on because she was in the right.

Cai Yi handed her a piece of paper with a grin: "Jiang Li, wipe the water off your face."

When Jiang Li saw her, she was a little embarrassed and used the tissue in her hand to wipe the tears from her face.

Did the teacher see that just now?

I don't think so. She just washed her face with water, and the tears mixed with the water, so it shouldn't be noticeable. Besides, the teacher just told her to wipe the water off her face.

With this in mind, Jiang Li felt relieved.

The girl's young and innocent face couldn't hide her emotions; her eyes were red and swollen, which was obvious to anyone who looked at her.

Caiyi took her for a walk on the playground, since they would have PE class soon anyway.

I reckon not many students will come down; the sun is too strong, and rich kids can't possibly endure this kind of hardship.

Caiyi led Jiang Li on a leisurely stroll.

Jiang Li was taking a stroll when she suddenly started running, as if venting her frustration, and she ran faster and faster.

Caiyi: "..."

She looked up at the blazing sun and gave up on her plan to run with Jiang Li.

She wasn't a young girl like Jiang Li; she was a working-class woman who just wanted to coast along and wait to die.

After running two laps, Jiang Li's fair face was flushed and covered in sweat. She was breathing heavily, and all her unhappiness disappeared.

With a youthful and lively smile on her face, she walked up to Caiyi, smiled, and took the tissue from her hand to wipe her face.

Cai Yi couldn't help but laugh as well.

The female lead has a great mindset and can adjust herself.

Unsurprisingly, apart from Jiang Li, not a single student came down for the PE class.

Cai Yi didn't care. They would do their best to teach, just like in Xiao Baihua's class, all the students were there, so she explained the art-related content very seriously.

Whether they listen or not, what needs to be done has been done.

So even if Jiang Li is the only student, Cai Yi will still teach her.

The run had fully warmed up Jiang Li's body, so she immediately got to work and taught her some simple, unique moves.

Jiang Li studied very diligently.
