Chapter 86: Fainting
This was the summer vacation after the college entrance exam.
When Xu Xun received her admission letter from S University, she was working as a model in a luxury goods store.
She was a natural clothes hanger. When she was looking for a part-time job, she had been spotted by the store manager who was passing by and had been successfully taken away.
The postman had found her according to Xu Xun’s usual address.
“Is Xu Xun working here? Your admission letter has arrived. Come and sign for it.”
After Xu Xun had signed for it, she put the admission letter to the side, preparing to take it home and open it.
The store manager walked over with a grin and said with a smile, “Little Xun, what are you hiding? I just heard that your admission letter has arrived. Which school is it?”
Xu Xun took out the letter and slowly opened it in front of everyone.
“It’s S University.”
The moment she finished speaking, Xu Xun’s gaze was drawn to a figure outside the door.
The people who had come were Cheng Yang and Yu Mei.
The moment she caught a glimpse of the corner of Cheng Yang’s clothes, Xu Xun immediately averted her gaze nonchalantly.
She silently put away the admission letter, her gaze on the Cheng Yang who had entered.
The store manager greeted her with a smile. “Miss Cheng, long time no see.”
The corners of Cheng Yang’s lips curled up. “I’m here to pick a birthday gift.”
The store manager was about to arrange for a sales assistant to help Cheng Yang choose, but Cheng Yang walked straight to the Xu Xun in front of the counter.
She said with a smile, “So you work here. Have you received your admission letter? I heard from Director Lin that you got into S University. Congratulations.”
Xu Xun hadn’t expected Cheng Yang to actually talk to her. For a moment, she didn’t know how to answer.
She nodded. “Thank you.”
Cheng Yang was a little sad. She had just said those words to Xu Xun with great nervousness, but she hadn’t expected the other to just answer her with a cold “thank you.”
She didn’t even ask her which school she was in.
Yu Mei noticed that Cheng Yang’s expression was a little disappointed. She saw it at a glance, and her gaze fell on the submissive Xu Xun.
With just this one glance, Yu Mei saw through her.
Cheng Yang’s hair was down, but from Yu Mei’s angle, she could see the other’s slightly red ear tips.
Something’s up!
There’s definitely something up!
She had originally brought her to pick a birthday gift, but she had inexplicably turned into this store and had even said that she was going to buy her a bag.
At first, Yu Mei had been very happy and had decided to choose the most expensive bag.
But she hadn’t expected that this person’s intentions were not on the wine.
No wonder she had taken such a long detour to come here. It turned out she was looking for an Omega.
Yu Mei pulled her to the side, leaned closer to Cheng Yang’s ear, and said in a small voice, “You’ve fallen for her, right? Do you need my help?”
Cheng Yang quickly dodged to the side. “Just talk. Don’t be all over me. People will misunderstand.”
“…”
Yu Mei was completely silent.
“If you buy me a bag, I’ll help you.”
“You’ve been single for almost twenty years, and you still have the nerve to say that? Stop giving me bad ideas.”
Yu Mei said loudly, feigning seriousness, “That girl just now, you come over here. Cheng Yang has something to say to you.”
Cheng Yang’s eyes suddenly flew open, and she quickly covered Yu Mei’s mouth.
Seeing that Xu Xun was walking towards her, Cheng Yang quickly stood up and pushed Yu Mei to the side.
“That… I… I want you to help me pick a nice bag.”
Xu Xun was a little hesitant. “But… I’m just a part-timer.”
Yu Mei took the opportunity to say, “What’s wrong with that? Whatever bag you recommend, Yangyang will…”
Under the table, Cheng Yang stepped hard on Yu Mei’s foot.
“It’s fine. People of the same age have a more similar aesthetic.”
Xu Xun knew that Cheng Yang’s family was rich, but the other had not come with President Cheng, so she had been careful when she was choosing the bags, and had chosen some that were slightly less expensive.
Cheng Yang looked at the seven bags that Xu Xun had taken out. She touched her chin and nodded.
“You can wrap all of these up for me.”
Xu Xun was stunned, her eyes suddenly widening.
Yu Mei was also shocked. “Hey, hey, hey, I said I only wanted one…”
Cheng Yang quickly covered Yu Mei’s mouth. “There are seven days in a week. You can change one every day. Alright, don’t say anymore.”
Seeing the two of them’s intimate appearance, Xu Xun’s hand holding the bag paused slightly.
If she remembered correctly, both Cheng Yang and Yu Mei were Alphas, and they were also good friends.
Could they…
Xu Xun knew that AA relationships were not uncommon.
And it was their business to be in a relationship. What did it have to do with her?
She helped to pack all the bags and watched the two of them leave the mall.
In the elevator, Yu Mei was holding seven large bags.
“Why did you buy me so many? How can I carry them all?”
Cheng Yang couldn’t help but curve her lips. “The more I buy, the higher her commission, and the higher her salary.”
Yu Mei was incredulous. “So that’s what you mean. You this…”
Cheng Yang gave her a cold glance. “If you don’t want the bags, then give them back to me.”
“…”
After going downstairs, Cheng Yang found a coffee shop to sit in, her gaze on the second floor.
Yu Mei looked at her infatuated gaze and couldn’t help but say with a smile, “Yo, this is lovesickness. But I’m very curious. Do you really like her?”
Cheng Yang didn’t speak, which was a tacit admission.
Yu Mei took a sip of coffee. “She’s indeed very outstanding, but I heard that her family background is not good, and she also has a group of annoying relatives.”
Cheng Yang was taken aback for a moment. “What?”
Yu Mei said, “You were filming before, so you don’t know. A month before the college entrance exam, her family’s relatives, I don’t know if it was her aunt or her aunt, went to the school to find her and forced her to apologize to her son, and also demanded compensation for medical expenses.”
Cheng Yang’s brow furrowed tightly. “What’s going on?”
Yu Mei said, “Her aunt said that she had stolen things from the family and had also pushed down her cousin, whose head had hit the corner of a table and had had to have several stitches at the hospital.”
Cheng Yang’s brow furrowed even tighter. “How is that possible? There must be a mistake.”
Yu Mei gave a cold smile. “After that, the school helped Xu Xun call the police. After checking the surveillance, they found that it was her aunt’s family who had stolen the relics that Xu Xun’s mother had left behind, and they had even falsely accused a good person. As for that cousin, it was purely his own fault. He had accidentally hit his head.”
Cheng Yang’s hand holding the coffee cup gradually tightened.
“Those are the relics that her mother left her. How dare her aunt…”
Yu Mei shrugged her shoulders helplessly. “There’s nothing we can do. Poor people are like that. Not only are they poor in terms of money, but they’re also poor in their hearts. I’m talking about some of them.”
Seeing Cheng Yang’s worried appearance, Yu Mei couldn’t help but ask, “Do you really like her? I feel that you two don’t have much interaction. When did you secretly get to know each other behind my back?”
Cheng Yang’s face grew hot. “Why are you talking so much? She doesn’t like me, and we’re not close. I just have an unrequited love.”
Yu Mei almost flipped the table.
“What did you say? An unrequited love!”
She couldn’t help but pinch Cheng Yang’s cheek. “Don’t you tell me that you’re having an unrequited love with this devastatingly beautiful face!”
Yu Mei’s voice was so loud that the people around all looked over.
Cheng Yang quickly lowered her head. “Keep it down. Say a few less words.”
Yu Mei was completely baffled. “I just don’t understand. Can’t you just pursue her? With your face, I don’t believe anyone can refuse.”
Cheng Yang was rarely so red-faced. “I’m too embarrassed. I’m afraid she doesn’t like me.”
Yu Mei nodded firmly twice. “You have to believe me. You definitely won’t fail.”
Cheng Yang shook her head. “I’m worried. You see, she’s not willing to talk to me much. We’ve only said no more than five sentences from beginning to end. What if she hates me? What if she’s my black fan?”
“…”
Yu Mei was silent. “Let it be. It’s up to you whether you pursue her or not.”
The two of them didn’t speak. After a while, Yu Mei stared straight at Cheng Yang.
“You don’t want to go abroad and chose to study in the country. It’s also for her, right?”
Cheng Yang nodded.
Yu Mei sighed. “I knew it. I was thinking that my charm was so great that I could make you give up the temptation and stay. I didn’t expect it. Ah, then what is our relationship?”
Cheng Yang thought for a moment. “I’ll buy you a sports car. Don’t be jealous.”
Yu Mei: “Okay, master.”
“…”
On the day of the school registration, Yu Mei and Cheng Yang had come together.
After the two of them were done, Cheng Yang said out of the blue that she wanted to see the dormitory.
Yu Mei was taken aback. “You’re going to live in the dormitory? It’s a four-person room, and it’s also dilapidated. I don’t want to live there.”
Cheng Yang said, “Let’s at least go and have a look. I don’t even know what it looks like.”
Yu Mei said, “Aren’t all college dormitories like that? Small and crowded, with four people living together. You even have to queue for a shower. I’m not going to suffer this.”
Cheng Yang smiled helplessly. “People, I’m not living there either. I’m a little socially anxious.”
“Socially anxious? You?”
The corners of Yu Mei’s lips curled up. “I remember you filmed a kissing scene before…”
Cheng Yang quickly said, “That was all camera angles. I wasn’t even an adult at that time. I couldn’t film it.”
Yu Mei said with a smile, “You can film it when you’re an adult.”
“…”
The campus was crowded with people. Cheng Yang and Yu Mei had already been pushed to sell cards by several seniors.
When they passed by the admissions office, Cheng Yang saw at a glance the Xu Xun in the crowd who was dragging a suitcase.
She was carrying a large bag on her back, which was bulging. She was dragging two suitcases in her hands, and also a very large handbag, which was probably filled with a quilt.
Seeing that no one was helping her with her luggage, Cheng Yang walked straight over and took the large handbag that was on her suitcase.
“Let me help you.”
The two of them’s eyes met.
Cheng Yang saw that Xu Xun’s forehead was covered in a dense layer of sweat.
“Thank you.”
In a blink of an eye, Yu Mei couldn’t see Cheng Yang anymore.
When she took a closer look, the person was in front, still holding a suitcase.
Yu Mei raised an eyebrow. She hadn’t expected this person to be so warm-hearted.
When she got closer, she saw that it was a familiar person.
No wonder she was so attentive.
Cheng Yang said as she walked, “The school is so big. Aren’t you taking the school bus?”
The corners of Xu Xun’s lips curved. “There are too many people on the school bus. If you’re tired, I can carry it myself.”
Cheng Yang took off her sun hat and put it on Xu Xun’s head.
“It’s too hot. You’re sweating a lot. Be careful of heatstroke.”
A sweet peach fragrance wafted around her nose.
Xu Xun carefully sniffed the smell and found that this fragrance was coming from Cheng Yang’s hat.
She slowly wiped the sweat from her forehead. “Thank you.”
The moment she finished speaking, the suitcase in her left hand was snatched away by a hand.
Xu Xun turned her head and met Yu Mei’s smiling eyes.
“I’ll take this for you.”
Xu Xun curved her lips at her. “Thank you.”
The three of them walked side by side.
At this time, someone recognized the Cheng Yang in the crowd.
Seeing more and more people gathering, Cheng Yang quickly took Xu Xun’s arm and ran forward.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t affect you, did I?”
Cheng Yang lowered her eyes and found that Xu Xun’s gaze was on her left hand.
“…”
Cheng Yang quickly took her hand away. “I’m sorry. I… I didn’t do it on purpose.”
Yu Mei gave a cold smile, thinking to herself, if you want to be close to someone, you have to see the situation. You’ve been rejected, right?
Xu Xun was still wearing Cheng Yang’s hat. “It’s fine.”
Cheng Yang pressed her lips together in embarrassment. “Where’s your dormitory? Meimei and I will take you there.”
Xu Xun said, “It’s still very far. Why don’t I just carry it myself? Thank you.”
Yu Mei said with a smile, “Don’t be so polite. The two of us have no luggage. We’re idle anyway. We might as well help a classmate and do a good deed.”
She said casually, “This suitcase is so heavy. Is it filled with stones?”
Cheng Yang glared at her. “Don’t talk nonsense. She’s carrying books and cosmetics.”
Xu Xun nodded. “It’s books.”
Cheng Yang said as she walked, “See, this is a top student. She doesn’t forget to bring books to read even in college. You should learn from her.”
The sun was getting bigger and bigger. As Cheng Yang was walking, she felt that something was not right, and she was seeing double.
“Hey? Have you noticed that this road has forked?”
The moment she finished speaking, her vision went black, and she fell directly backward.
Xu Xun quickly and skillfully supported her. “Cheng Yang! What’s wrong with you?”
With a blink of an eye, Cheng Yang’s head was a snow-white ceiling.
Beside her stood a school doctor in a white coat, and also a worried Xu Xun and Yu Mei.
She weakly lifted her arm and was then pressed down by the school doctor.
When she took a closer look, a needle was stuck in her arm.
The school doctor said, “You’re finally awake. Rest for a while. You can leave after the sun has set.”
Cheng Yang’s face was pale, and she suddenly felt very embarrassed.
She had actually fainted in front of Xu Xun.
She had actually made a fool of herself in front of Xu Xun.
Cheng Yang lay on the bed, motionless. She quietly covered her eyes and heard Xu Xun’s voice.
“I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. If you hadn’t helped me with my suitcase, you wouldn’t have gotten heatstroke.”
Cheng Yang said weakly, “Don’t think like that. It was just a sudden situation.”
After saying this, she was about to close her eyes and sleep for a while to relieve the nausea in her stomach.
But at this moment, Yu Mei leaned closer to her ear and couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Cheng Yang was puzzled. Xu Xun had turned her head and gone out to pay, avoiding the embarrassment.
“You don’t know. After you fainted, it was Xu Xun who personally carried you to the infirmary. You should thank her.”
Cheng Yang’s eyes suddenly flew open.
Cheng Yang’s world had collapsed.
“…”
