Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 290 - 284: Knocking at Midnight (Part 8)
She walked to school and along the way, she encountered quite a few students from T University. She didn’t recognize those people, but they recognized her, or more accurately, her face—the face of Ji Xiangting’s adopted elder sister-in-law.
Being the focus of attention and subject to pointing and whispering all the way, she had already grown accustomed to it, her face towards the rising sun, her steps leisurely.
As she neared the campus, her mood was exceptionally cheerful.
At the school’s main gate, there were always snack carts every morning, and those buying breakfast were all students, with a never-ending stream of customers at each stall.
She hadn’t had time for breakfast in the morning rush, and now, seeing the food for sale, Ji Anning felt hungry. She surveyed all the snack carts and finally chose her usual favorite, the rice ball.
"I’ll have a rice ball..." She approached the rice ball vendor, greeted the owner, then lowered her head to dig for money in her bag.
Right, he probably hasn’t eaten breakfast either!
Suddenly thinking of Ji Chicheng, who had stormed out of the restaurant that morning without eating, she hesitated and then told the rice ball vendor, "Make it two."
As she said this, she scanned the neatly arranged row of drinks and reached for two bottles of lactobacillus, "And two bottles of milk from there."
As the vendor finished making one fried dough stick, ready to start on the second, Ji Anning remembered something and instructed the vendor, "Don’t put a fried dough stick in that rice ball."
Ji Chicheng doesn’t eat food like fried sticks when he’s out.
By the time the vendor had nearly finished making the second rice ball, Ji Anning handed over a fifty yuan note.
"Anning, are the two portions one for me?" 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
Suddenly, a voice behind her spoke up, an unfamiliar male voice, yet his tone was so familiar as if they were old friends.
Ji Anning turned her head in confusion to look back. A tall, thin boy in a baseball uniform approached her with a slight smile.
Looking at that face, Ji Anning felt it was very familiar, but she couldn’t recall where she had seen him before.
While she was still trying to remember, the boy had already reached her side. Seeing Ji Anning staring at him with furrowed brows in confusion, he smiled and arched his eyebrows, "What? Have you forgotten me already after just a few days?"
Hearing his voice again, Ji Anning finally remembered. He was the wealthy playboy, Rong Feifan, who’d been stopped by Jin Yuanyuan’s traffic cop crush while driving his sports car that night!
He was also the one who had given her a ride to the wharf that day.
Upon remembering, Ji Anning asked indifferently, "What brings you here?"
"I’m here to study," Rong Feifan pointed towards the T University gate, stating it as if it were a matter of course.
This guy was also a student at T University?
Ji Anning felt a moment of surprise inside, then casually nodded with a nonchalant "Oh."
She didn’t have a particularly good impression of Rong Feifan, nor was she interested in his affairs. Whether or not he was a student at T University had nothing to do with her.
She turned her gaze back to the rice ball vendor, took the bag from his hand, and handed over her money, "Here’s the money."
But Rong Feifan’s hand next to her reached out to the vendor first, forcefully stuffing a hundred yuan note at him, "Keep the change."
So generous—his tone was just like that of someone else who had bought her skewers; it was as domineering and commanding, but it lacked some maturity when compared to him.
Are all wealthy men so ostentatious nowadays? Ji Anning frowned wordlessly, then also handed her fifty yuan note to the vendor, "Here, the money is for you, and this is what I bought. I’ll pay for it myself."
She didn’t want anything to do with this playboy. His flashy ways and handsome looks combined with his wealth no doubt attracted plenty of attention at school.
