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

Shen Yue thought to herself, wasn't she with Ma Yingwu just to have a better life?

Are we really going to give up this hard-won life of wealth and luxury just because of such a small matter?

She is not reconciled.

So, Shen Yue left the dormitory and went downstairs with somewhat heavy steps.

Downstairs at the girls' dormitory, Ma Yingwu's voice had become hoarse from shouting; it was weak and hoarse, like the mournful cry of a wounded bird.

Upon seeing Shen Yue come down, he immediately became excited and happy, like a little dog wagging its tail and begging for mercy.

He ran quickly to Shen Yue's side and said in a very obsequious manner, "Yueyue, you're finally down!"

"I know I was wrong, please don't be angry, okay? I'll do anything as long as you're not angry."

Shen Yue rolled her eyes at him and said retaliatoryly, "I want to eat steak at a three-star hotel."

Upon hearing this, Ma Yingwu's face immediately fell.

His recent allowance has been spent by Shen Yue while she supports her business ventures, and he's gone over budget.

But since it was the goddess's request, Ma Yingwu gritted his teeth and decided to take Shen Yue with him.

He thought to himself that if all else failed, he could just call his sister on the landline and ask her for some pocket money.

So he forced a smile and said, "Okay, Yueyue, let's go now. As long as you're happy, you can eat anything."

As he spoke, he carefully walked to Shen Yue's side and accompanied her as they left the school.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, lengthening their shadows, as if telling a complex and helpless story.

Night, like thick ink, enveloped the campus of Beiping Normal University.

The place was as still as water, with only the occasional chirping of insects breaking the tranquility like tiny ripples in the silent night.

Tao Hao dragged his heavy legs, which felt like they were filled with lead, from his part-time job to school.

He had just finished a full afternoon and evening of tutoring, his throat was dry and hoarse from explaining for so long, and he was completely exhausted.

He raised his hand and looked at the watch with a slightly worn dial. The hour hand was almost ten o'clock, and the school gates closed promptly at ten o'clock every night.

"Oops!"

Tao Hao's heart tightened, and he quickened his pace, starting to jog.

"Huh, luckily I caught up."

Tao Hao was panting heavily, his chest heaving violently. He raised his hand to wipe the dense beads of sweat from his forehead and strode into the campus.

Along the way, the dim streetlights cast a faint glow, stretching his slightly disheveled shadow long, as if silently reflecting his weary life.

Back in the dormitory, Tao Hao carefully and quietly pushed open the door, afraid of making any noise that might wake his sleeping roommates.

A faint warmth permeated the dormitory, a unique scent of young men mixed with sweat and heat.

The four roommates had already fallen asleep, their even breathing rising and falling like a silent nocturne.

Meanwhile, the other three roommates were gathered around a slightly old black-and-white television.

His eyes were wide open, and he was staring intently at the screen, as if he was deeply attracted to the world on the screen and could not pull himself away.

A mini game console sat in front of the television, with a cartridge inserted. The screen displayed colorful pixelated images, creating a stark contrast with the somewhat dim dormitory environment.

"You guys are still awake?"

Tao Hao asked in a low voice, his voice filled with exhaustion and a hint of curiosity.

One of his roommates didn't even turn around; he simply waved casually, signaling him to keep quiet.

His eyes remained fixed on the screen, and he kept muttering to himself, "Hurry, hurry, the customers are getting impatient!"

Although Tao Hao was filled with doubts, he was too exhausted from work to think about it further.

After a quick wash, I climbed into bed and was soon overcome by sleepiness, drifting off to sleep.

The next morning, the golden sunlight, like a palette of paint that had been accidentally overturned, streamed through the window and splashed freely onto the dormitory floor.

Tao Hao got up early.

He has become accustomed to this early-rising lifestyle, and both part-time work and studies require him to maintain self-discipline.

After washing up, he looked at his roommates who were still fast asleep, a slight smile appearing on his lips.

Thinking that everyone is usually quite lazy and wants to sleep in as much as possible, I decided to bring breakfast for my roommates.

"Boss, seven servings of soy milk and seven fried dough sticks, please."

Tao Hao stood in front of the familiar breakfast stall at the school gate and said familiarly.

He's a regular here, and the owner and he's become quite familiar with each other.

"Okay, classmate, just a moment."

The owner responded enthusiastically, his hands never stopping as he skillfully scooped the fried dough sticks out of the steaming pot while serving Tao Hao a glass of soy milk.

A short while later, Tao Hao returned to the dormitory with breakfast.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw his three roommates still gathered around the TV, playing the cartridge game from last night.

"You guys played all night?"

Tao Hao asked in surprise, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Haha, no, the three of us went to sleep before the midnight rounds."

"You just woke up when you went to buy breakfast, and you've only just started playing now."

One of the roommates answered with a smile, but his face was filled with excitement and fascination, as if he had found endless fun and satisfaction in the game.

Tao Hao ate his breakfast while watching them play games with curiosity.

On the screen was a traditional town with various antique buildings arranged in a pleasing manner, and bluestone paths winding through it, with wine flags fluttering gently in the wind along the street.

Although the characters are pixelated, they are very cute. Their small bodies move around busily in the town, and their every move is full of agility.

My roommates skillfully operated the game console controllers, directing their characters to busy themselves in the town.

They were busy greeting guests, upgrading the inn's facilities, and discussing strategies all the while.

"What game is this? It looks so fun!"

Tao Hao couldn't help but ask, his mouth still full of half a fried dough stick, but his eyes were fixed on the screen, his curious look like he had discovered a new continent.

"I Run an Inn in Chang'an, Part 1 is really interesting, do you want to give it a try?"

Li Ming, the roommate who wore black-rimmed glasses, took off his glasses, wiped his forehead which was slightly sweaty from excitement, and warmly invited him.

Tao Hao hesitated for a moment, then, thinking that he didn't have any classes in the morning, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give it a try."

He put down his unfinished breakfast, sat down nervously surrounded by his roommates, and took the controller.

At first, he was a bit unfamiliar with the controls and didn't operate them very skillfully, making the inn on the screen a complete mess.

Customers lined up at the door, their heads filled with tiny red bubbles representing their dissatisfaction.

He was so flustered that he either forgot to serve the guests or missed the opportunity to upgrade his order.
