"Me, being a stranger? I'm practically begging you for money, and you're still acting like a stranger? It's just that not many people know this brand, right? If your classmates knew how much this brand costs, they'd think you're obsessed..." Shao Wanwan rolled her eyes and said irritably.

"You recognize this brand?" Jiang Zheyuan asked, puzzled.

Although most people know about this brand later on.

But in this day and age, very few people know that it has a much lower profile than brands like LV and Chanel.

He was certain that Shao Wanwan didn't know.

"Have you forgotten how often I read fashion magazines? How much I love beauty and how much I yearn for the romance and beauty of foreign countries? I taught myself English and Italian, so isn't it normal for me to know a couple of foreign brands?" Shao Wanwan wasn't afraid at all.

The original owner often secretly saved money to buy fashion magazines and would bring them to school to read during self-study periods.

Jiang Zheyuan went to the same high school as the original owner, so how could he not know?

The original owner's magazines were confiscated, and she even had to read her self-criticism aloud to the whole school.

They say she's unrealistic and has a blind faith in foreign things...

Jiang Zheyuan choked for a moment; he felt a little guilty.

He deliberately chose a brand that no one recognized to give to Shao Wanwan, but he didn't expect to be found out.

“I bought it according to your size. No one in my family is as thin as you. If I take it back, no one will be able to wear it. You… just accept it!” Jiang Zheyuan clasped his hands together, staring intently at Shao Wanwan, and pleaded kindly.

Did Jiang Zheyuan take the wrong medicine?

When did such a scene appear in the book?

When did he ever treat the original owner of this body like that?

His relationship with the original owner was purely businesslike; he practically had the words "repaying kindness" etched on his forehead, all for the sake of responsibility.

It seems that the original owner really misunderstood Jiang Zheyuan.

Jiang Zheyuan can actually act cute.

He actually knows how to act cute.

Shao Wanwan circled Jiang Zheyuan as if he were some rare animal.

Just as he was about to tease her, he suddenly became serious, raised his arm, and greeted someone who was approaching from a distance.

Shao Wanwan turned her head and saw a woman dressed in black, wearing riding boots and carrying a simple canvas backpack. She raised her hand to greet Jiang Zheyuan.

"Is this the person I'm supposed to protect?" Jiang Liyan asked.

"This is my senior sister, Jiang Liyan," Jiang Zheyuan said gently as he turned to introduce her to Shao Wanwan.

Jiang Liyan looked at Jiang Zheyuan with a teasing expression.

Jiang Zheyuan caught a glimpse of this teasing expression out of the corner of his eye, and immediately felt a little shy, his neck and ears turning bright red.

Shao Wanwan was confused. Did her senior sister have some kind of leverage over Jiang Zheyuan?

But these girls look very agile and give off a strong sense of security.

When she reached out and shook hands with Shao Wanwan, her strong biceps were clearly visible.

The three exchanged brief pleasantries as they walked toward the dormitory building.

The graduate student dormitory and the counselor dormitory are open to people of the opposite sex. There is no one on duty at the door, only a gatehouse. The old man in the gatehouse does not care who goes in or out. He is only responsible for collecting newspapers and registering visitors.

It means he doesn't care who enters, but they must be registered.

Jiang Zheyuan was afraid of causing trouble for Shao Wanwan, so he only dropped her off at the bottom of the dormitory building.

"I never imagined such a large block of ice would have this side. I've learned a lot today thanks to you," Jiang Liyan said as she helped Shao Wanwan with her luggage after he left.

The old dormitory building only has a staircase in the middle, and it's incredibly long and shaky.

Shao Wanwan was a little out of breath after climbing to the third floor.

Jiang Liyan, carrying her large bag, said, "Little sister, you're too weak. Exercise with me tomorrow morning. Women need to be in good shape too. What's that saying? Working for the health of the motherland for forty years, and your physique isn't up to par."

While panting, Shao Wanwan looked at the tall and strong Jiang Liyan with a pitiful expression.

Is it so straightforward?

In order to achieve a slender waist, the original owner never ate her fill.

After she transmigrated into the book, she was starving and ate whatever she could get her hands on, but she couldn't gain much weight.

"Okay, senior sister, take me with you," Shao Wanwan said, panting.

Make the bed and organize your toiletries and clothes.

Jiang Liyan lay down on her bed, put her hands under her head, and looked at Shao Wanwan who was still busy. "No wonder Zheyuan was unmoved by anyone pursuing him. It turns out he has such a beautiful fiancée. I thought it was just an excuse before! You have no idea how many girls in the boxing gym have a crush on him. When he comes to practice, there are crowds of people watching outside the transparent glass wall."

Shao Wanwan stopped what she was doing and looked at Jiang Liyan.

He could easily imagine that scene.

Jiang Zheyuan, like Elder Tang, was handsome and attractive, and came from a wealthy family. He was also a college student in this era, making him a highly sought-after person in the marriage market.

Shao Wanwan knew that the other party was really giving her too much credit, so she said a few polite words.

Who knew that Jiang Liyan's next sentence would be a bombshell?

“I pursued Zheyuan, but he rejected me very firmly. I didn’t go to the boxing gym for three days and was unhappy for several days. He told me at the time that he had a fiancée, and I thought he was lying. Later, I volunteered to protect you. Actually, I just wanted to see who his fiancée was. Seeing you… I think I know where I went wrong.” Jiang Liyan said frankly and without any hesitation.

This left Shao Wanwan somewhat bewildered.

Knowing that Jiang Zheyuan is popular, is it a bit rash to ask the person who openly loves him to protect her?

“I’m the best in the gym, a champion all year round, so… Zheyuan agreed. Before he came, he gave me all sorts of instructions, afraid that I would make things difficult for you. My God! Seeing how he treated you, I knew that there was no way for a fly to get between you two, so I gave up and didn’t want to get involved.”

"Hey, we're engaged, it doesn't necessarily mean he likes me that much," Shao Wanwan said dismissively.

"Do you know why he, with his scholarly appearance, suddenly started practicing boxing?" Jiang Liyan asked earnestly.

Actually, Shao Wanwan was quite curious too.

The book doesn't mention that Jiang Zheyuan loved sports, let alone practiced Muay Thai. He hated sports the most. It was only after he became successful in his career that he started exercising every day, fearing that he might die suddenly at his desk.

"He said he was too skinny and wanted to get stronger, saying his fiancée liked strong men... He was so honest back then, it cracked me up. I was even a little jealous of you. I fell in love with Jiang Zheyuan at first sight. You know, our boxing gym is full of rough guys, so it's not easy to find someone like Zheyuan, you can understand?"
