That being said, he didn't actually work himself to the bone. This state lasted for a few days before he returned to normal.

Sometimes, even from a great distance, Ni Qing could see him chatting and laughing, surrounded by a large group of people.

Ni Qing doesn't have any important plot lines in this book. She just occasionally pops up to cause trouble, and spends the rest of her time starving and doing part-time jobs.

Unlike the original owner, who specifically sought out high-paying jobs, she had extremely low requirements. She figured that no matter how much money she saved, she would eventually die anyway, so she might as well find a job that included meals and slowly make a living.

At the very least, it can be changed from one meal a day to two meals a day.

But it's impossible to have a whole day without classes, so the number of times you can earn money is very limited.

"Anyone going to the cafeteria? Bring me some char siu rice!" the starving students in the dorm cried out in despair. If only takeout could be delivered to the dorm door.

Ni Qing seemed not to hear, tidying her clothes and preparing to go out for her part-time job. Since no one had classes today, Qin Yao's initial plan to play games was somewhat uncertain.

Although no one said anything more afterward last time, she could still sense the subtle politeness and courtesy. Even Ni Qing, who was the least noticeable person in the dormitory, was ignored.

Isn't it said that the more gloomy and introverted a person is, the more they crave friends? How come this girl named Ni Qing doesn't seem to want to make friends at all?

It seems that her lack of friends is due to her own actions.

Qin Yao mustered her courage and tentatively asked, "I'm going downstairs to throw out the trash and then to get something to eat. Do you need me to bring anything else?"

Wang Xue: "I'll pay you for a plate of fried noodles later."

Wang Yuhan: "Char siu rice!"

This interaction did indeed bring them much closer. Qin Yao looked at Ni Qing, her tone surprised and uncertain: "Um, classmate? I've been here for so long and I still don't know your name? Do you need me to bring you lunch?"

Ni Qing turned her back to her and shook her head.

Wang Yuhan and Wang Xue exchanged glances, and after Ni Qing left, they looked at each other meaningfully.

"This person is very withdrawn; neither Wang Xue nor I can get along with her!"

"Moreover, she rarely eats, usually only one meal a day, and it costs less than ten yuan. Her family is poor, and her name is already on the school's list of impoverished households."

They chattered away, while Qin Yao looked on with surprise.

"Eating only one meal a day? Is that so pitiful?"

By the time Ni Qing finished her part-time job, it was already 4 p.m. Although it wasn't lunchtime yet, she was exhausted and starving. She quickly bought a loaf of bread that was almost expired at the supermarket and then took her laptop to the school library.

There are still a lot of people here, but most of them aren't really there to study.

A large group of people were sleeping or playing on their phones. Since they weren't allowed to eat inside, she had to put the bread away and eat it when she got back to her dorm.

She took out her laptop, plugged in her headphones, and started browsing the material the teacher was teaching; she didn't want to fail.

As she watched, her thoughts drifted away. These past few days, Ni Qing had been "sensitive and sad" because the male lead had rejected her. Now that the time was almost up, she opened the companion app.

I clicked on "a troll" again.

The appointment time is starting at 9 PM.

Unexpectedly, the other person happened to be online, so I casually messaged her privately.

"I thought the boss had quit the game!"

Ni Qing thought for a moment and replied, "No, I've been busy with my studies lately and haven't had time to call."

Jiang You, on the other side, raised his eyes sharply, a glint in them: "Are you a student?"

【Egg God】: Yes.

[A troll]: What a coincidence, me too.

Ni Qing was a little conflicted, wondering if she could lower the price of the game companion service a bit. After all, she would eventually run out of money. She had been silent for so long and hadn't gone online, which was to earn money from game companion services.

Who could blame her when the original owner had feelings for the male lead, and was also a game enthusiast?

[Egg God]: Can you lower the price a bit? Can you negotiate a little? How about 100?

As the saying goes, when bargaining, you should cut the price in half.

The other end remained silent for a long time, which made Ni Qing uneasy. Had she gone too far with the cut?

Just as I was thinking this, another reply came from the other end: "Let's lower it to 30."

Hey, you're pretty sensible, lowering the price to be exactly the same as that last time you offered to play with someone.

Ni Qing was somewhat surprised, but didn't think too much about it. Just as she was about to turn off her phone and prepare to study, a suppressed gasp suddenly came from the doorway.

She looked up as if sensing something, and saw that the boy she had just been chatting with on his phone had appeared in the library. The excited voices belonged to the upperclassmen and underclassmen in the library.

He was wearing a white shirt and black pants, his hair was messy, and his ahoge (cowlick) was sticking up slightly. He had a skateboard bag slung over his back, and he always looked like he had just come back from skateboarding on the playground.

Jiang You kept his head down with a blank expression, his slender fingers flying across his phone, seemingly chatting.

There was no reply from [Egg God] for a long time. He lowered his eyelids, looking somewhat tired. It took him a while to remember that he needed to find a place, and then he looked up.

He frowned deeply as he looked at the overcrowded library.

There are so many people...

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a spot and began to stride toward it.

Ni Qing watched Jiang You walk closer and closer, then brushed past her and sat down in the seat behind her, seemingly still not remembering her.

That's good, then she doesn't have to worry anymore and can focus all her attention on her studies. Before she knew it, it was dark, and it was already 8:30 pm. She was so hungry that she didn't even feel hungry anymore.

I picked up the bread, prepared to pack up my documents, and leave.

Suddenly, a crumpled piece of paper was thrown onto the table. She paused, looking at the culprit.

He was a bespectacled boy at the next table; he looked quite refined.

The man gestured for her to look at the note.

Ni Qing then suspiciously unfolded the crumpled paper ball. The handwriting on it was messy and ugly, and it took her a while to decipher it:

Hello, I'm Luo Xiao, a sophomore majoring in civil engineering. I've been following you for a while now, could I add you on WeChat?

The girl's expression was hidden by her hair, but she seemed a little nervous, probably because it was the first time she had been asked for her contact information.

She was a little timid, took out a pen, and hesitantly wrote a few words.

Then I threw it over.

Seeing an opportunity, Lin Xiao immediately unfolded the document and began to read. The girl's handwriting was quite different from her timid and gloomy appearance; it looked rather sharp and imposing.

no thank you.

Unwilling to give up, he wrote a few more lines and threw them at her.

The girl wasn't going to look at it and was about to pick up the crumpled paper and throw it at him when a lazy voice came from behind her: "Hey, is it fun to throw it back and forth like this?"

Ni Qing turned around and looked at the boy with an unreadable expression, somewhat surprised and uncertain: "Are you talking to us?"

Jiang You raised his eyes, his expression nonchalant: "Otherwise what? Besides you guys throwing notes here, who else is doing this? Don't you know it's affecting other students' studies?"

He must have gotten a good look at Ni Qing, because he blinked and said, "Oh, it's you, junior."
