Chapter 51 Ugly Duckling's Rise to Power: She Squeezes Out the School Beauty and Becomes a Coup
"Xingchen, how can you just sit in the classroom during break time? Why don't we go for a walk together and get some fresh air?" Lin Jingya whispered in his ear, inviting him in a voice only the two of them could hear.
However, Ye Xingchen was distracted at the moment, his eyes were fixed on Mu Wanwan's seat, and he didn't hear what Lin Jingya said at all.
At this moment, all he could think about was that ugly woman, and whether the wound on his back had improved after the medicine was applied.
Sigh, I'll take a closer look when I apply the ointment tonight. Thinking this, his mind involuntarily conjured up her smooth back…
Seeing that he didn't react, Lin Jingya gently nudged him with her arm. Ye Xingchen snapped out of his reverie, realizing he had been a bit out of line, and quickly coughed awkwardly, "Ah, sorry, I was just spacing out. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Lin Jingya felt a pang of disappointment when she realized he hadn't heard her at all, but she forced a smile and said, "I saw you spacing out as soon as get out of class ended, so I thought you had something on your mind and wanted to ask what was wrong!"
Hearing this, Ye Xingchen seemed to snap out of his daze, scratching his head somewhat embarrassedly and saying, "Oh, I'm fine. I probably didn't sleep well last night, which is why I kept spacing out in class today." After saying that, he continued to daydream.
Time ticked by, and soon it was time to leave school. As the school bell rang, the students packed up their things and prepared to leave. But just then, Ye Xingchen quickly stuffed the books on his desk into his schoolbag, grabbed the bag, and dashed out of the classroom as fast as he could.
Seeing this, Lin Jingya couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness and disappointment. She had originally hoped to go home with Ye Xingchen, but now it seemed that plan was going to fall through again.
There was a large supermarket on Ye Xingchen's usual route home. He pushed his cart around the candy section a few times, the colorful candies emitting a sweet aroma that resembled her own scent! He immediately patted his face, wondering what he was thinking!
Buy candy! Buy candy! The dazzling array of candies overwhelmed him, leaving him completely bewildered as to which to choose. In the end, he simply picked out a little of each of the more expensive candies from the candy section and stuffed them all into a large bag until it was completely full.
Just as Ye Xingchen stepped out of the supermarket, he ran into Lin Jingya, who was on her way home.
"Starry Sky?" Lin Jingya was surprised to see him carrying a large, bulging bag of candy.
So, he came to buy candy after school.
Seeing him struggling to carry that large bag of candy, Lin Jingya asked with concern, "Do you need me to help you with your schoolbag?"
After all, such a big bag of candy is quite heavy, and she was worried that it would tire him out.
However, Ye Xingchen did not hesitate at all and decisively refused her kindness: "No need, my schoolbag is not heavy, I have something to do at home, I'll go first!"
After saying that, he turned and left, running away quickly, leaving Lin Jingya alone on the spot.
Then, Ye Xingchen arrived at the door, gently put down the candy in her hand, went into the house, casually threw her schoolbag on the sofa, and then rushed into the kitchen.
"Mom, is this the bucket?"
His voice carried a hint of anxiety and anticipation. Before even waiting for Ye's mother's reply, he had already picked up the bucket and run out of the house quickly, leaving Ye's mother watching his departing figure and sighing helplessly, "This child, why is he so reckless!"
Mu Wanwan had already taken a shower and was waiting at home for Ye Xingchen to come and apply the medicine to her.
With a thermos in his left hand and candy in his right, and the door unlocked, and with both hands busy, he simply pushed the door open without knocking.
"Ugly girl! I'm here."
Mu Wanwan was drying her hair when she heard his voice, so she quickly let down the hair in front of her forehead to cover most of her face.
"Ah."
She put down the hairdryer, got up, and walked towards him. When she saw the candy in his arms, her lips twitched.
Did this guy go to the wholesale market to buy everything? Why is he buying so much?! How long would it take to eat it all?! Is this what straight men do?
She tried to take the candy first, but Ye Xingchen handed him the bucket instead, saying, "Take this, the candy is too heavy for you to lift!"
Then he put the candy on her desk, opened the bag, took some out, and put it in her backpack.
"Keep some in your schoolbag, some in your pocket, and some in your school desk." He made arrangements for Mu Wanwan without thinking.
"Master, Ye Xingchen is a really nice guy. He bought you so much candy because you have low blood sugar!" Piggy said with envy.
Mu Wanwan didn't take it to heart. "Who knows if he's only concerned about me because I took a blow for him?"
Seeing that Mu Wanwan didn't move, Ye Xingchen glanced at her and beckoned, "What are you standing there for? Come over and see which kind of candy you like."
Mu Wanwan slowly moved over, pointed randomly, and Ye Xingchen immediately picked out the candies from the bag and put them into her schoolbag.
"I'll never be afraid of low blood sugar again!"
After finishing tidying up, Ye Xingchen nervously swallowed, his gaze falling on Mu Wanwan standing in front of him.
She looked like a primary school student who had made a mistake, with her head down.
"Hey, ugly woman."
Mu Wanwan clasped her hands together, her fingers intertwined. The man seemed uneasy and remained silent when he saw her.
"Don't keep your head down, hold your head high and be more confident."
Mu Wanwan looked at him with a probing gaze, and Ye Xingchen explained irritably, "What I meant was, oh well... never mind, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Mu Wanwan bit her lip as tears streamed down her cheeks. Ye Xingchen panicked instantly. Why was she crying all of a sudden?
"Hey, don't, don't cry!"
He hurriedly knelt down and used a tissue to wipe her tears, but she stubbornly turned her head away, refusing to let him do anything.
"I know I'm ugly, but that's my own business, it's none of your concern."
Ye Xingchen stood there awkwardly, holding a tissue, his mind already racing, wondering if he had said something wrong.
Little did they know, the very words "ugly woman" that came out of their mouths were the culprit.
"Don't cry, okay! Let's apply the medicine first, and then I'll leave."
Mu Wanwan knew she couldn't refuse to apply the medicine, so she obediently went to find the medicine box and placed the medicine in his hand.
She turned to face him, untied her bathrobe and pulled it down... Ye Xingchen actually felt a small sense of anticipation about applying the medicine. However, when the medicine was being applied, he felt extremely tormented.
Fortunately, the wound healed very well, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief. After applying the medicine, he left the room as if fleeing, not daring to stay with her alone any longer.
Mu Wanwan wiped away her tears and began to enjoy her food, her mood gradually improving. Ye Xingchen, however, didn't sleep a wink all night after returning home, and went to school the next morning with dark circles under her eyes.
Time slips away quietly, and the days pass by one by one. In the blink of an eye, a week has passed in the blink of an eye.
This weekend, Mu Wanwan surprisingly stepped out of her house on her own initiative. Ye Xingchen happened to see her walking out alone, and without hesitation, he rushed downstairs, blocking her way, and asked anxiously, "Where are you going?"
Mu Wanwan replied awkwardly, "I have something to take care of outside, please move aside."
Ye Xingchen's expression turned solemn. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "What is it? I'll go with you!"
Mu Wanwan forcefully shook off his hand and continued walking forward without looking back, saying firmly, "I don't need you to accompany me!"
With his long legs, Ye Xingchen easily caught up with her in two large strides. A slight smile played on his lips as he said with a hint of mockery, "Aren't you worried that those students with the parrot-like hairstyles will cause you trouble again?"
Hearing her say that, Mu Wanwan couldn't help but feel a surge of fear.
Those girls were tall and strong, and they were indeed ruthless in their attacks.
She hesitated. Ye Xingchen keenly noticed her stop and indecisiveness, so he strode ahead, turned back, and urged, "Aren't you going to hurry up and catch up?"
