150: An Keer
Yi Yi never imagined that the life she yearned for would actually come true like this.
Although she attended a 985 university, full of top students from all over, she was already in her third year and starting to engage with society. Even within the school, in classes, and in dorms, many things were no longer judged by academic performance.
The competition slowly shifted to who had jewelry worth a certain amount, who bought a set of cosmetics costing several thousand yuan, or who could carry a luxury handbag.
And the current situation had far exceeded Yi Yi's expectations.
Originally, after grabbing a red packet worth several thousand yuan, she had only thought about whether she could buy a decent set of cosmetics.
Now, she had everything.
Cosmetics, jewelry, handbags, and even clothes.
She couldn't even imagine what a stir she would cause if she brought these things back to her dorm.
And all of this was brought to her by Xu Zimo.
[Goodwill from Yi Yi +10]
Tsk!
This girl's goodwill is increasing so fast.
After all, she's still a university student.
And if she hasn't had much emotional experience, once she falls for someone, it's very easy for her to become infatuated.
They leisurely shopped for over an hour.
Because he bought watches for all three of them, that alone cost over 500,000 yuan. This shopping trip cost a total of over one million yuan.
Quite a lot.
Mainly, Guan Yanchu and Yi Yi spent the most.
The two of them had almost no cosmetics or similar items, so Huang Yuqing took them to choose all sorts of the best current products.
In addition, they probably chose one handbag from each brand.
As for clothes and jewelry, they naturally picked styles they liked.
When they came out, all three of them were carrying quite a few things, and they firmly refused to let Xu Zimo help them carry anything.
In their words, only by carrying it themselves did it feel like shopping.
The three of them were already very attractive, and carrying a pile of luxury goods, theirReturn rate (rate of people turning their heads to look) was extremely high.
After buying things, they didn't continue shopping.
Yi Yi still had to return to school because she had only taken a half-day leave of absence. It was already past one in the afternoon, so Xu Zimo naturally had to drive her.
Once in the car, Xu Zimo asked Yi Yi, "Which school are you from?"
"Zhongnan University."
Guan Yanchu and Huang Yuqing looked at Yi Yi in surprise.
That's a 985 university.
Xu Zimo was also a little surprised.
It seems that An Keer, the one in the system's mission, is from this university.
He might have a chance to ask Yi Yi about her.
If that An Keer is very attractive, she should be chosen as the campus belle and have some recognition... Zhongnan University.
Dorm 306.
After class at noon, An Keer returned to her dorm alone.
She didn't go to the cafeteria.
After returning to the dorm, she took out a piece of bread and slowly chewed it on her bed with some water.
She didn't have much money left.
Although luxury goods were expensive when bought, when sold, the price was genuinely high, and she was too concerned with appearances to haggle.
Being thin-skinned is bound to lead to losses.
Suddenly, the door opened, and two roommates walked in, carrying takeout.
"Keer, didn't you order anything to eat?"
One of them asked An Keer.
The other looked at her with a hint of scrutiny.
She still remembered when they first enrolled in their freshman year, An Keer was already driving a mercedes-benz E300, and what she wore, used, and carried brought them no small shock at the time.
Although An Keer had now moved into the dorm on the pretext that living off-campus was inconvenient, it still aroused some suspicion.
Outsiders might not be too clear, but those in the same dorm could clearly see that while An Keer's bed was tidy, there were no luxury items to be seen.
Moreover, she was eating those small, online-bought breads in the dorm.
Things at bakeries now aren't cheap; a single bread might cost dozens of yuan.
It's not that the school cafeteria was expensive, but rather, An Keer rarely went before, the reason being, of course... she looked down on it.
Suffering for the sake of appearances.
That's the kind of person An Keer was.
"I don't want to eat anything too greasy."
An Keer took a sip of Evian, then slowly twisted the cap back on and placed it on the nearby table.
This water wasn't cheap; 15 yuan a bottle.
Precisely because they knew this, some suspicion was alleviated.
Whether it tasted good was one thing, but 15 yuan a bottle of water wasn't something everyone could afford.
"Oh, I see."
The girl who had just asked had already sat down and opened her takeout.
It was braised chicken with rice.
The aroma wafted through the dorm, and An Keer felt... even hungrier.
She had bought a box of Evian, but in reality, the bottle in her hand was water she had filled when no one was around.
Save wherever possible.
Before, An Keer wouldn't have even glanced at takeout like this. Now, however, the aroma of chicken could stir her hunger.
She glanced at her balance.
This was money she got from selling clothes; she had over 630 left.
She still had quite a bit of money, but compared to her unrestrained spending before, she was slowly learning to be frugal now.
No choice, she had no source of income.
Most of this money still had to be spent on 'maintaining appearances.'
However, now she decided to go out for a meal.
So, holding her phone, she casually greeted her two roommates and walked out.
After she left, her two roommates started discussing her.
"Her, she's so thin already, still trying to lose weight? Who would believe that?"
This was from the person who had been somewhat suspicious earlier, her tone clearly sarcastic.
The other paused for a moment, "Her bottle of water costs more than your meal. What's the point of saying all that?"
That person didn't say anything more, but her suspicion hadn't been dispelled.
She spent another 36 yuan.
Her hunger was satisfied, but seeing her already dwindling balance shrink noticeably again, An Keer's brows furrowed slightly.
How would she live in the future?
Summer vacation was approaching. Although she could stay at school, not returning home would also arouse suspicion.
And with only a few hundred yuan now, let alone staying in a hotel, renting a place would be very difficult.
Should she go to work?
This wasn't the first time An Keer had considered this, but mainly she was afraid of being discovered by schoolmates working.
Ultimately, it was about saving face, coupled with her thin skin, that led to her current predicament.
Coming out of the small restaurant, An Keer walked aimlessly down the road.
She didn't know where she should go.
Just as she reached the school gate, a bentley drove up.
An Keer glanced at it, a flicker of longing in her eyes, then quickly averted her gaze.
She was about to walk past when she heard a familiar voice: "Keer?"
She looked over.
It was actually Yi Yi from her class.
An Keer knew about Yi Yi; she came from a prefecture-level city and had been admitted to Zhongnan University with a top-three ranking in her grade.
Her family background... was average.
But what did she see at this moment?!
Yi Yi actually got out of the bentley, and inside, there were two very beautiful women.
Then, those two women accompanied Yi Yi and took out a pile of luxury goods from the car's trunk!
