Chapter 216: No Money For Clothes

Chapter 216: No Money For Clothes

Yu Qiubai was taken aback. Shen Xi often either played with her words or minced them when talking to him, but this was the first time she was directly aiming to rip him up. Yu Qiubai was actually happy about it. “Did I annoy you?”

Shen Xi gave him a death stare before coldly blurted, “Get lost!”

Despite getting chewed out, Yu Qiubai was in a great mood. On his way out, he bumped into Pei Xu and hurled the gift box at him with a grin. “For you.”

Pulling a long face, Pei Xu was close to taking the Lord’s name in vain when Yu Qiubai disappeared into the staircase.

The class was rowdier and louder than usual.

Walking on air, Song Wenye hooked Pei Xu’s arm, pulling him in to announce the good news. “Alpha Xu, I want to let you in on something. I’m going into showbiz to become a celebrity.”

Pei Xu made no effort to hide the disdain in his face. “Have you lost your godd*mn mind?”

Song Wenye was too happy to be offended. “Alpha Xu, you should congratulate me. I’m sure you’d become my biggest supporter, right?’

Pei Xu did not take it seriously and could not be bothered with her since the wacko changed her mind every ten seconds. He listlessly sat on his seat and placed the gift box on the table before asking Shen Xi, “What did Yu Qiubai want with you?”

Working on mock test papers, Shen Xi faintly replied, “He’s a nutjob.”

Pei Xu shared the same sentiment. He glanced at the two gift boxes on his table and gave them to Shen Xi. “I heard that this stuff works great on the skin. Give them to your mom!”

Shen Xi nonchalantly answered, “We’re not short of these at home.”

“Xixi isn’t short of them, but I am. Alpha Xu, give them to me!” Song Wenye bolted over to snag the gift boxes and grinned, “As of this moment, I’m going to take two pills a day as part of my skincare routine to prepare for my debut in the entertainment industry.”

After further inquiry, Pei Xu found out that Song Wenye had been telling the truth. However, he gave Shen Xi the heads-up out of good intentions. “Don’t put all your faith in her. She acts on a whim and might just back out during a program recording.”

Shen Xi gazed at Song Wenye and smiled. “I trust her.”

Song Wenye shot Pei Xu an angry look and turned around to hug Shen Xi as it meant a lot to her. “Lil Xixi knows me best. I won’t ever chicken out!”

Shen Xi was not used to having people up close and personal. She pushed Song Wenye away, irritated. “Keep your distance away from me.”

For once, Pei Xu put on a straight face and advised her. “You better think it through whether you’re doing it for fun, or if you intend to build a career with it.”

“Pei Xu, do you really think that little of me? Well, all those years of being a bro to you are for nothing.” Song Wenye snubbed at him while patting her chest to assure Shen Xi. “I will do my best.”

It was a lively scene in the international class, a contrast to the gloomy top class. Although the top-class students were happy to have received Jewel Looks, they did not have the courage to show it on their faces because it might upset Su Mushi and Su Ruowan.

Feeling doom gloom, Su Mushi let rage got the better of him as he tightened his grip on a pen and broke it.

He went to the headmaster and he said he would find out on his behalf, but the conversation led to nowhere.

The Situ family mentioned there might be some slipup and needed to check on it.

However, the Situ family was putting him off with one excuse after another. Their actions spoke louder than words – the Situ family believed that the Su family were undeserving to receive a gift from them.

In the afternoon after school hours.

Song Wenye pestered Shen Xi all day wanting to visit Shen Xi’s place.

At wit’s end, Shen Xi agreed to it.

The pair ran into Yu Yuanxi at the bus stop and after exchanging their greetings, they waited for the bus in silence.

A chatterbox like Song Wenye kept to herself and was quiet for once, bringing an air of awkwardness.

Shen Xi was reading a book on the bench.

Song Wenye could not help herself but to look at Yu Yuanxi. She whispered to Shen Xi, “When is he joining the set for the shoot?”

Shen Xi replied, “The end of the school term.”

Song Wenye cheered, “Oh!”

From her seat, she had a good look at his exquisite side profile. He appeared to be drawn into the script in his hands.

He seemed lean and frail from the lack of layered clothes on him. Sometimes, she wondered if he had no money for clothes.

“Yu Yuanxi,” Song Wenye called out to him.
