Reborn not to be a simp, the school beauty's whole family goes crazy

Shen Yue was a little worried, afraid of losing Chen Dong as a source of money.

But when she turned to look at Ma Yingwu and saw his angry yet distressed expression, she instantly felt relieved.

With the heir of TSB Company acting as his sycophant, there's really no need for him to keep thinking about Chen Dong.

Shen Yue's lips curled up slightly.

In a student dormitory at Beiping Normal University, the chill permeated the air like an all-pervasive ghost.

The cold air, like countless fine needles, seeped into the dormitory through every crack, relentlessly irritating every inch of Tao Hao's skin.

Tao Hao curled up on the narrow single bed, which was thin and narrow.

It was just a few hard wooden planks that were barely pieced together.

He was covered only by a pitifully thin blanket, which seemed to be made of the coarsest cloth.

So thin that it offers little hope of warmth, barely enough to cover one's shame.

Tao Hao couldn't remember how long the cold lasted; he only felt that every minute and every second was like being tortured in an ice cellar in the dead of winter.

His body trembled slightly uncontrollably from the cold wind, and his teeth chattered from time to time.

It makes a "clucking" sound, as if it is fighting for its last bit of dignity against this cold world.

He tried to curl up tighter, hoping to retain a little more warmth, but no matter how hard he tried, the chill remained.

While his other roommates were all snuggled in their warm beds, he was the only one in the six-person dorm struggling against the cold.

In the silent room, only the sound of the cold wind howling past could be heard, as if it were mercilessly mocking his disheveled appearance.

Tao Hao looked up at the window and saw that the outside world was covered in ice and snow, a silver-white world.

This should have been a beautiful picture, but now it seemed to be a testament to the hardship and difficulty of his life.

"Tao Hao, Tao Hao!"

A series of urgent shouts came from outside the dormitory door, breaking the deathly silence.

Tao Hao struggled to peek his head out from under the covers.

In that instant, the cold wind rushed at him like a ferocious beast, making him shiver involuntarily.

His voice was weak and feeble from the cold and exhaustion: "Who...who is it?"

"It's me, Li Yang. Your counselor wants to see you. He wants you to go to his office right away. It seems to be urgent!"

Li Yang, a classmate outside the door, spoke loudly, his voice echoing in the empty corridor.

Upon hearing this, Tao Hao's heart skipped a beat. He disregarded the cold and hurriedly got out of bed.

His hands and feet were already numb from the cold, as if they were frozen by countless icicles.

Every movement was accompanied by excruciating pain, and the movements were somewhat sluggish.

He shook his numb hands and feet vigorously, trying to restore them to normal, but with little effect.

He hurriedly stuffed the hot water thermos on the bedside table under his clothes and held it firmly with his hand to make sure it wouldn't fall down.

The outer shell of the thermos had long been chilled by the cold wind, and even if a little warmth remained, it was quickly swallowed up by the cold.

Then, he grabbed a coat and put it on.

The coat was so thin it was like a sheet of paper, offering no protection against the cold, but it was better than nothing.

Tao Hao took a deep breath, suppressing the trembling in his body, and prepared to go out.

The moment he turned around, he felt a violent dizziness, his body swayed, and he almost fell.

He gripped the edge of the bed tightly, barely managing to steady himself. He gritted his teeth and continued walking towards the door.

Along the way, the cold wind cut his cheeks like a knife, and the pain was almost unbearable.

Every gust of wind felt like a sharp knife slicing across my face, making me feel like I was about to bleed.

His ears were frozen red and numb, as if they no longer belonged to him.

He couldn't help but shudder and quickened his pace.

A short while later, Tao Hao arrived at the door of the counselor's office.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door; the sound was particularly crisp in the cold air.

A gentle voice came from inside: "Please come in."

Tao Hao pushed open the door, and a blast of warm air hit him, making him shiver involuntarily.

The office was warm and cozy with the heating on, a stark contrast to the freezing snow outside.

A pot of blooming flowers sits on the counselor's desk, releasing a fragrant aroma in the warm air.

The rich floral fragrance felt somewhat unfamiliar to Tao Hao, who had grown accustomed to the cold and loneliness outside.

The counselor smiled with concern as Tao Hao entered, saying, "Tao Hao, come and sit down."

Tao Hao walked over somewhat awkwardly and sat down in the chair.

His gaze fell on the counselor's face, his heart filled with doubt.

He didn't know why his counselor wanted to see him.

During this time, he was immersed in his own pain and rarely thought about anything else.

The counselor looked at him and said, "Tao Hao, the school has approved your student loan application."

Upon hearing this, Tao Hao's eyes lit up instantly.

Her excited voice trembled slightly: "Really? Counselor, you really passed?"

The counselor smiled and nodded, then took an envelope from the drawer.

He handed it to Tao Hao: "Yes, this is the first student loan payment. Please keep it safe."

Tao Hao's hands trembled as he took the envelope, clutching it tightly as if he were holding onto his own hope.

That envelope contained more than just money; it represented a glimmer of hope for his future.

His eyes were slightly red, and his voice was choked with emotion: "Thank you, counselor, thank you so much! And thank you to the school!"

He tried hard to control his emotions and not let the tears fall.

The counselor looked at Tao Hao's face, which was slightly red from the cold, and sighed with heartache.

He shook his head and said, "Tao Hao, look how frozen you are."

"After you get the money, hurry up and buy some warm clothes and some warm bedding."

"Don't let yourself get cold. Your health is the most important thing, you know?"

Tao Hao nodded vigorously and said, "I understand, counselor. I will definitely take good care of myself."

With that, he stood up, preparing to leave.

He was so excited that when he stood up, he moved too abruptly, and the hot water bottle under his clothes fell to the ground with a thud.

The hot water bottle broke, spilling hot water all over the floor, and steam rose instantly.

Tao Hao, however, was completely oblivious, his heart filled with the joy of having his student loan approved.

She didn't even hear the counselor calling her from behind before she hurriedly ran out of the office.

"Tao Hao, your hot water bottle..."

The counselor's voice sounded behind him, but Tao Hao had already disappeared at the end of the corridor.

He ran like a happy little deer toward the commercial street outside the school.

The biting wind whistled past his ears, but he was completely unaware.

Poor Tao Hao's white moonlight, Shen Yue, after finding a simp and getting rich this time, actually forgot to find some benefits for her white moonlight, Hao Hao.
