Pretty and charming, dressed in the 90s, she's good at everything from making money to causing

Whether it was the ten yuan or the human traffickers from earlier, Yingzi did become a little more wary.

However... there aren't many.

Since they had just returned to the dormitory, Su Yu casually greeted them and asked where they had been. Yingzi then recounted everything that had happened to them that afternoon.

Lin Ting: "..."

It seems Mr. Marx didn't teach her the meaning of keeping quiet.

Su Yu: "..."

She was just saying hello casually and didn't want to know anything more.

Su Yu was stunned for a while, then reminded her, "You'd better not tell anyone else about your encounter with human traffickers. If they have accomplices, they will retaliate against you."

Zheng Miaoying cleverly replied, "I know, you asked, so I certainly won't tell anyone outside!"

Lin Ting: "You'd better be."

Su Yu was actually touched by Zheng Miaoying's preferential treatment. She slowly got out of bed and said, "I'm going to call my dad and ask if they've caught all those human traffickers."

Lin Ting asked with some confusion, "Your father?"

“My dad is a policeman,” Su Yu said with a smile, then slowly walked out.

Seeing her walking speed, Lin Ting thought she was waiting for him to stop her and refuse the matter.

She thought for a moment and then said, "Su Yu, no need."

Su Yu stopped and shook her head seriously: "No, it's better to know the details of this kind of thing. Wait a moment, I'll be back soon."

Then she left, her steps slow but firm.

Lin Ting: "...?"

Does she want to go or not?

Su Yu’s “quick” felt like it took an entire century.

Lin Ting changed her clothes and did her homework, but still didn't see her come back.

She once suspected that Su Yu had gone home to ask—after all, there was a telephone available in the dormitory manager's office on the first floor of the dormitory building.

Nearly forty minutes later, Su Yu returned.

Her face was a little red, and her breathing was slightly rapid, but she smiled, closed the door, and said to Lin Ting and Zheng Miaoying, "Don't be afraid. My dad told us not to worry. They've already taken care of it... but he didn't say the specific details. It needs to be kept secret."

Seeing that she looked like she had just run 800 meters, Lin poured her a glass of water and asked, "What's wrong? Are you tired?"

Su Yu took the water glass, thanked her, and then said, "I'm fine, it's just that I've been feeling unwell, and even climbing stairs feels tiring."

She sipped her water and patted her chest to calm herself down, which didn't seem like she was being dramatic at all.

She rested for a while, calmed her breathing, and stood up. She took out a bunch of pill bottles from the cabinet—two pills here, four pills there—nearly twenty pills in total. She slowly took the pills, not forgetting to say:

"I have heart disease, it's not contagious, so don't be afraid."

Lin Ting looked at Su Yu but didn't answer. Instead, she tried to recall Su Yu's fate.

In the original storyline, Su Yu, the beloved female supporting character, is different from her. Su Yu actively stirs up trouble, while Su Yu is passively made a part of the play.

Her mother died early, and her father was a policeman who was always busy with work and sometimes couldn't take good care of her.

She often had to go to the hospital and occasionally felt unwell at school. Whenever this happened, Chen Jun would choose her because "Su Yu is not in good health"—even though Su Yu felt she didn't need help, Chen Jun didn't want her to think that way.

It's one thing if it happens once or twice, but if it happens every time, Zheng Miaoying will naturally be unhappy.

During their most intense argument, Su Yu suffered a heart attack. This time, Chen Jun chose Zheng Miaoying, and then Su Yu died.

Lin Ting finished reminiscing and put on a mask of pain.

Sin ah.

Su Yu looked at Lin Ting's expression with suspicion, then glanced at the last two pills in her hand and asked, "Do you want to take them too?"

Lin Ting: "There's no need to be so polite, please enjoy your meal."

Su Yu swallowed the last two pills and let out a long sigh: "I'm full."

Lin Ting chuckled to himself.

In *Dream of the Red Chamber*, there's a Lin Daiyu who knows how to eat but also how to take medicine; here, there's a Su Daiyu who treats medicine like food.

Zheng Miaoying looked up from the last page about Marx, closed the book, and said to Su Yu, "Let me switch beds with you, so you can rest when you get back to your dorm."

"Ah? No need, no need, I'm fine..." Su Yu waved her hand immediately, thinking of the bed-changing incident on the first day of school.

Zheng Miaoying was completely absorbed in Marx that day and didn't notice anything amiss. Her attitude was unusually firm: "It's okay, let's switch."

Yingzi was a woman of action; as soon as she finished speaking, she stood up and rolled up Su Yu's bedding.

"You rest, I'll take care of it."

She also took care of Su Yu's health.

Lin Ting looked at the two of them, then at herself in the mirror, and felt that life was a wonderful thing.

They should be mortal enemies, yet they manage to live peacefully in the same dormitory.

Hmm... days without those brats causing trouble are the best days...

Before Lin Ting could finish her sigh, Wu Yan and Li Zhi returned. They were carrying two large bags, their expressions complicated.

"Um, Su Yu, this is for you." Wu Yan reluctantly put the bag on the table. She didn't look at Su Yu or Zheng Miaoying, and turned to leave after putting the bag down.

"Thank you, but... who gave this to me?" Su Yu was a little confused. She reached out, opened the bag, and peeked inside. It contained some food.

Wu Yan didn't answer, but reached out and tugged at Li Zhi, signaling her to speak.

Li Zhi forced a dry laugh and said in a very soft voice, "Chen... Chen Jun."

Zheng Miaoying, who had been happily making the bed, was suddenly stunned.

Su Yu was completely taken aback, her face filled with "why" and "is he sick?"

Lin Ting was more direct than the other two, spraying a mouthful of water all over her freshly completed homework.

You little rascal, though late, you've arrived.

She quickly grabbed some tissues to wipe the water off her notebook, thankful that she had just written her homework with a ballpoint pen, otherwise she would have been in big trouble.

Su Yu composed herself and immediately explained to Zheng Miaoying, "He and I are really just high school classmates. We knew each other before, really, I'm not lying to you!"

These past few days, Su Yu had heard Wu Yan and Li Zhi talk about Zheng Miaoying and Chen Jun.

Chen Jun had come to see her several times, but she deliberately avoided him and clearly distanced herself from him.

So... why would Chen Jun still send her things under these circumstances?

She doesn't understand!

Zheng Miaoying was stunned for a while, then suddenly laughed.

Yes, she smiled.

The other people in the dormitory looked at her as if she were crazy.

Wu Yan couldn't help but offer a word of advice: "Miaoying, if you're too angry, just cry it out."

Zheng Miaoying sniffed, her voice a little muffled: "No need, I said I wouldn't cry anymore."

As she spoke, she sat down, casually grabbed a piece of paper, saw some writing on it, flipped it over, picked up a pen, and was about to write.

Lin Ting immediately stopped her: "Yingzi, what are you doing?"

Zheng Miaoying's eyes were red, but she stubbornly refused to shed a tear.

She said, "I'm going to write him a breakup letter. My love has actually died a long time ago, but I've just been unwilling to face it."

Lin Ting had no time to complain about the awful, melodramatic dialogue; she pressed down hard on the paper: "No, you can't write on this paper."

Zheng Miaoying frowned, looking somewhat aggrieved: "Why? Listen to this, you know best what he did to me, don't you?"

Lin Ting: "You're holding my homework."
