The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man

At the Educated Youth Point, Leng Yuan had already told Li Fenggu and Chen Ruoyu about hosting a dinner.

Chen Ruoyu packed her things, preparing to go early the next day to help out.

’When that wild boar burst into the Educated Youth Point, they all could have been in danger if Leng Yuan hadn’t saved them. She had to properly thank Leng Yuan and Gu Jiaojiao.’

Seeing what Chen Ruoyu was preparing, Li Hongmei couldn’t help but speak up.

"Ruoyu, that pair of pillow towels can’t be cheap!"

There were no secrets in the dorm. Li Hongmei stared at the pair of pillow towels Chen Ruoyu had prepared and couldn’t help but gasp in surprise.

She had seen them at the co-op before; the pair cost over two yuan. ’Chen Ruoyu is really willing to splurge.’

’Besides,’ she thought, ’in this day and age, giving pillow towels as a gift means you’re close.’

’Chen Ruoyu has barely spoken to Gu Jiaojiao. Since when are they so close?’

Chen Ruoyu didn’t even look up.

"This is for the wild boar incident. I haven’t had a chance to properly thank Leng Yuan and Gu Jiaojiao, so I’ve prepared a nicer gift this time to show my gratitude."

Li Hongmei was disdainful and curled her lip.

"It’s true Leng Yuan killed the boar, but it’s not like he did it for nothing. He got an extra share of the pork, didn’t he!"

"If you ask me, he’s the one who came out ahead."

Chen Ruoyu was always capable and had a direct personality.

Hearing this, she slammed the towel in her hand onto the table. Her gaze, fixed on Li Hongmei, was glacial.

"Do you even know how to talk? If not, then shut your mouth."

"What do you mean, ’he got an extra share of the pork’? Did you not eat any?"

"It’s perfectly reasonable for the man who killed the boar to get his share of the meat. But you? You almost pissed yourself in fear. What damn nerve do you have to take a share and eat it?"

The other educated youths nearby didn’t try to mediate.

Li Hongmei had brought this on herself.

A few years ago, the pork from a boar Leng Yuan hunted would have had nothing to do with them.

Besides, that boar had charged into the Educated Youth Point. If it weren’t for Leng Yuan, they would have all been injured.

It was one thing to be ungrateful, but to spout such heartless words... Not only did no one try to stop the argument, they actually backed Chen Ruoyu up.

"No wonder Gu Jiaojiao doesn’t hang out with you. You’re so malicious. We shouldn’t have even saved you back then."

Li Hongmei felt wronged.

’I was just speaking up for everyone,’ she thought.

She glared defiantly.

"I’m not wrong."

An educated youth with an even fierier temper than Chen Ruoyu couldn’t stand it anymore.

"You keep yapping and I’ll smash your face in."

"You heartless thing. We never should have saved you."

Li Hongmei: "..."

She was startled. When she recovered, she couldn’t help but yell.

"What, are you going to gang up and hit me?"

Several of the educated youths rolled up their sleeves.

"So what if we do? Just try saying one more word."

Li Hongmei’s lips quivered, but she didn’t dare make a peep.

The next moment, her eyes grew red.

She turned, threw herself onto her quilt, and started sobbing, "Waaaah..."

The female educated youths: "..."

They shot Li Hongmei a glance, but no one paid her any attention.

In this day and age, crying didn’t automatically make you right.

Li Hongmei cried for a long time, but no one paid her any mind. Feeling even more wronged, she began to wail even louder.

One of the educated youths looked to Chen Ruoyu to discuss something.

"Ruoyu, can we go with you tomorrow?"

"Leng Yuan saved us before, and we want to thank him too. Since they’re hosting a dinner tomorrow, we were thinking of bringing some gifts."

The main reason was that they knew Leng Yuan had cut ties with the Leng Family, so there probably wouldn’t be many people there.

They wanted to go to show their support.

Li Hongmei: "Waaaah..."

Chen Ruoyu frowned. "I’m afraid not."

The female educated youth: "..."

She explained.

"I’m planning to go help Gu Jiaojiao cook tomorrow, so I’ll be going very early. It wouldn’t be right to bring you all along at that hour."

"Usually, for a banquet, showing up around ten o’clock is fine."

"But if I’m helping with the cooking, I’ll probably have to be there by six or seven."

"Besides, I haven’t even told Gu Jiaojiao about this yet."

Li Hongmei continued: "...Waaaah..."

Several of the female educated youths quickly chimed in.

"That’s okay, we can help too."

"We’ll just talk to Gu Jiaojiao ourselves when we get there."

Since they had all said so, Chen Ruoyu couldn’t refuse.

Li Hongmei’s "waaah-ing" stopped.

She lifted her chin, looking at Chen Ruoyu and the others.

"Then I’ll go help too."

’I get to help, and I still get to eat at the banquet. There’ll be meat, too. This is a great deal!’

Everyone: "..."
