Reborn 99 Days Later, Becoming a Landlady and Getting into Tsinghua and Peking Universities

As if afraid of being rejected by Hua Lichu, Zhang Xinran quickly took out her breakfast: "Look, these are steamed buns made by my mother, they have meat in them."

Hua Lichu shook her head and handed over a tea egg: "No need to exchange it, my grandfather told me to give you one."

Seeing that Hua Lichu had three tea eggs, Zhang Xinran thought for a moment and broke her meat bun in half.

"Then I'll share half of my meat bun with you. That's called sharing, right? Hehe~"

Hua Lichu's words of refusal were suddenly cut off.

Zhang Xinran took a satisfying bite of the tea egg, her eyes suddenly widening in delight: "Mmm~"

"what happened?"

Zhang Xinran covered her mouth, carefully swallowed the egg white, and gave Hua Lichu a thumbs up:

"Delicious! So flavorful! Much better than the cafeteria food!"

The aroma of tea eggs wafted through the air and reached Pei Yi'an, who was sleeping on the table in front of him.

He rubbed his head in frustration and changed his sleeping position.

The student behind Hua Lichu nudged her: "Did you... sell tea eggs at the entrance this morning?"

“Yes!” Hua Lichu nodded.

The boy sitting behind me was chubby and round-faced.

He blinked: "With so many people... don't you feel embarrassed?"

Hua Lichu raised an eyebrow.

Zhang Xinran was furious: "What do you mean? I didn't steal or rob anyone. I earned my money through my own labor. Why should I be ashamed?"

The chubby boy blushed and stammered, "No, that's not what I meant. I... I wanted to ask you if you could bring me breakfast."

He rubbed his empty stomach: "The food in the cafeteria is just so-so. But I live on campus and can't go out, could you bring me breakfast from outside?"

Before Hua Lichu could refuse, he scratched his head and said, "I can give you a tip for your trouble."

During morning self-study, he overheard his deskmate saying that he saw Hua Lichu selling tea eggs outside.

He was thinking that since Hua Lichu was willing to sell tea eggs, it meant that she wanted to make money.

If I can earn money from tea eggs, there's no reason why I wouldn't be happy to earn money from bringing breakfast!

Zhang Xinran frowned.

Hua Lichu looked around at the other classmates who were eager to try.

"Okay, no soup or water included. Just give me a penny as a tip. Write down what you want to buy before get out of class ends the day before, and I'll pay you in advance."

Hearing this, the other boarding students around him nodded quickly: "Hua Lichu, I want one too!"

No wonder they're greedy.

The cafeteria is too far away.

There is a 40-minute break between the end of morning self-study and the start of the first class.

But it takes them a full 5 minutes to run from their classroom to the cafeteria, not counting the time spent queuing in the cafeteria.

Hua Lichu turned around, tore a piece of paper from her notebook, scribbled something on it, and handed it to the classmates who were clamoring to help bring her breakfast.

The chubby boy looked down and saw that it was actually an "agreement"!

His eyes widened.

Hua Lichu crossed her arms and said, "If you want me to bring you breakfast, just sign your name at the bottom."

With that, she spread her hands and said, "I'll bring you breakfast, and you'll pay me a delivery fee. That's the end of the business."

But what if someone reports me to the homeroom teacher? What if I get called to the office because of this?

The others thought it made sense.

While signing his name, he made a promise to Hua Lichu:

"Don't worry, if the homeroom teacher really gives you trouble, we'll just say it's because we asked you for help, and it has nothing to do with you."

Hua Lichu asked curiously, "The food in the cafeteria isn't good, and you're too lazy to go, but don't you have food at the school store?"

A fat man's face showed a look of utter dismay: "Don't even mention it, it was such a rip-off!"

"Yes, I heard that the person running the convenience store is a relative of our principal, and they sell random things."

Hua Lichu got excited when she heard that.

The convenience store was located near the third teaching building, but Hua Lichu found it too far. Since she could also leave the school grounds, she bought everything outside the school.

Therefore, I have never visited the school store.

But judging from what the students said, there's clearly something more to it!

The chubby boy loves to eat and is a loyal customer of the convenience store, so he has the most say in this matter.

"That proprietress overcharges; the more people there are, the busier she is, the more expensive she charges!"

Fearing others wouldn't believe him, the chubby boy gave an example: "The same spicy strips, he charged me 10 cents the day before yesterday, and 20 cents yesterday."

The chubby boy was very angry, so angry that his eyes turned red.

"I wanted to argue with her, but there were too many people waiting in line to pay."

Just as I was about to yell, the shop owner said she wouldn't sell me the item!

She dares to be so arrogant because she owns the only small shop on campus, and we boarding students can't leave the school grounds!

"Me too! Me too!"

He sells the exact same braised eggs to me for 1 cents one minute and 2 cents the next!

The service was extremely poor!

They yell at people all the time!

"So what if she has a loud voice? I wouldn't buy anything from her if I wasn't starving."

Listening to her classmates' indignant words, Hua Lichu's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

A thought flashed through her mind.

However, whether or not to do it remains to be verified.

After the students had signed their names, Hua Lichu carefully folded the "agreement" and placed it in the book.

Zhang Xinran observed her for a moment, then moved closer to her: "Pear, are you short of money?"

As soon as she said it, she quickly tried to cover it up: "What I meant was..."

“Yes, I’m really short of money!” Hua Lichu nodded sincerely.

Hua Lichu's unpretentious attitude surprised Zhang Xinran.

She reached into the drawer, rummaged around for a bit, and pulled out a small cloth bag.

He unzipped the top, took out a handful of change, and stuffed it into Hua Lichu's hand.

"I give you!"

Hua Lichu was stunned: "Huh?"

"Isn't that enough? I have more, five more. Here, take them all. Is that enough?"

Zhang Xinran poured all the money from her small cloth bag into Hua Lichu's hands.

Hua Lichu was completely stumped by her.

No, they've only known each other for a few days?

The girl gave her all her pocket money?

Zhang Xinran glanced cautiously at Hua Lichu, thinking it wasn't enough, and scratched her face helplessly: "Not enough? I still have New Year's money at home..."

Just then, a ray of sunlight streamed in through the doorway and shone on the two of them.

The warm light seemed to shine into Hua Lichu's heart, touching her deeply.

She chuckled and ruffled Zhang Xinran's hair before snatching the small cloth bag from her.

He put the money into a small cloth bag and returned it to Zhang Xinran.

Zhang Xinran panicked: "Is it too little? I still have money, I still have New Year's money..."

Hua Lichu shook her head and said very sincerely, "Thank you! But I can't accept this money."

Don't you want to be my best friend?

Zhang Xinran looked dejected, even the two ponytails on her head looked droopy.
