C167 Happiness Before the Eyes

Zheng Lei retracted his gaze and no longer looked at that person. He bid farewell to Shui Rou and returned to his dorm, ignoring those who were secretly discussing or slandering him.

"Brother Lei, you're back? "How about it?" When Zheng Lei walked into the dormitory, Little Fatso was carrying a bowl of rice in his hands.

"Oh, it's fine now." Zheng Lei said softly.

"Wow, Brother Ley is awesome. He saved the school belle again. How about it?" Isn't it time for me to devote my life to you? " Little Fatso's mouth was agape, drooling as if he was about to spit. He then said, "I think you're the best!"

"Scram!" Ever since he had left the Di Shui World, Little Fatty's butt had become a taboo. Anyone who came across his butt, he would immediately worry them. However, Zheng Lei still habitually smacked him down ruthlessly every time.

San Dezi was still the same as usual. When he saw Zheng Lei coming back, he followed him to interrogate him about the situation when they were fighting. It was as if a dried up grass was thirstily absorbing the water that had just arrived.

After going through some narration, Zheng Lei was finally free. He laid down on his bed and quietly looked at the upper bunk above him. He suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

He had experienced so many things in the past few days that he had forgotten that he was still a student. Now that everything had been resolved, he felt a little uncomfortable.

Perhaps because he was tired, Zheng Lei fell asleep while lying down. In a daze, he was pushed awake and the first face he saw was Shui Rou's. There was no one else in the dorm except Shui Rou.

Shui Rou sat by Zheng Lei's bedside, half-leaning forward with her chin in her hands. A pair of big eyes were staring at Zheng Lei.

Today's weather wasn't too cold, so Shui Rou didn't wear any thick clothing. From Zheng Lei's angle, he was able to see the deep groove through the gap in the clothes.

Zheng Lei subconsciously said, "Mm, pretty big!"

"What?" Shui Rou asked, only to realise that Zheng Lei's eyes were staring at her chest, his face was red, he quickly sat up.

"Shui Rou."

"Hmm?"

"Put your ear close, I want to talk to you."

Shui Rou put her ear close to his, puzzled.

"I just realized that you're a bit like a mother."

"What do you mean?"

"It's pretty plump!" Zheng Lei smirked.

Shui Rou's face turned red as she scolded, "Die! "So dishonest." He sat up straight again, thinking about something.

"Son's mother!" Zheng Lei called out to Shui Rou. Shui Rou was still in a daze, so she didn't hear him.

"Son's mother!"

"Hm!" Hm? "Are you calling me?"

"Yeah."

"What are you calling me?"

"Your son's mother."

Shui Rou's pretty face blushed again as she stood up and said, "That's not proper. I won't tell you." Then, he lowered his head and left, but didn't leave Zheng Lei's dormitory.

Zheng Lei saw Shui Rou walk away and slowly sat up. He was also confused as to why he called her just now. He saw that Shui Rou didn't seem to object.

He lightly shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He stepped on his shoes and walked to Shui Rou's side and asked, "Why are you running to our dorm? Old Man Liu didn't stop you? "

Shui Rou turned around and said, "No, everyone is already so familiar with him. Why does he keep stopping me?" I came here to give you something. "

"Something?" "What is it?" Zheng Lei was puzzled.

Shui Rou took out a bank card from her pocket. There was a slip of paper stuffed into the card and she handed it to Zheng Lei. "This is for you."

"Why did you give me this?" Zheng Lei didn't pick up the bank card.

"You saved me twice. I don't know how to repay you, so …"

Zheng Lei's expression changed as he stared at Shui Rou and said, "Did I save you for money? Aren't you looking down on me too much? "

"That's not what I meant …"

"I don't care what you mean, immediately take it back. Otherwise, we won't even have the chance to be friends!" Zheng Lei was very angry. He did not save Shui Rou for the sake of money. Although he did not know how much money was in this card, but no matter what, Zheng Lei would not accept the money.

"I …" Shui Rou revealed a troubled expression as she quietly looked at Zheng Lei. Suddenly, two streams of tears flowed down her cheeks.

Zheng Lei could not stand a woman crying. Seeing Shui Rou's tears, he was at a loss, "What happened to you? If you have something to say, then say it. Don't cry. "

"Take it!" Shui Rou said, choked with sobs.

Zheng Lei helplessly took the bank card and waited for Shui Rou to finish.

You saved me twice, but I couldn't help you in any way, although this amount of money isn't much, but it will definitely be of some help to you when you're looking for Little Wan. If it doesn't work, then just give this money to someone to invest in. Shui Rou whispered.

"And if I don't?" Zheng Lei was still unwilling to accept a woman's money. Although he said that he was brothers with Shui Rou, the difference between their genders could not be wiped away no matter what.

"I, I …" Shui Rou didn't expect Zheng Lei to be like a stone in a latrine. He was stinky and hard, but this brat didn't understand what was going on at all.

Zheng Lei did not say anything and waited for the result.

Shui Rou said a few words of "I" and did not finish her sentence. In the end, she turned around, grabbed the fruit knife on the table and slashed at her wrist.

Zheng Lei flashed and reached out to grab Shui Rou's wrist. Shui Rou was so excited that she didn't notice Zheng Lei reaching his hand over. The tip of the blade instantly cut the back of his hand, causing blood to flow out.

Shui Rou was so scared that she lost her saber. She lowered her head to the back of Zheng Lei's hand to suck blood. It was the most primitive and clumsy way to stop the bleeding, but Shui Rou could only think of this now.

Zheng Lei frowned slightly and said, "Little girl, for such a small matter, you want to find fault. You really make people worry."

Feeling the soft tip of Shui Rou's tongue, Zheng Lei suddenly felt a little absent-minded, as if Hu Wan had returned to his side and subconsciously called out, "Wan'er!"

Shui Rou's body froze for a moment before she quickly returned to her normal self. However, no one saw the tear in the corner of her eye that slowly moved along her face before it was finally dried up by the wind.

When he looked up, there were no longer any tears on Shui Rou's face. She placed her small hands on the back of Zheng Lei's hand and asked embarrassedly, "Are you alright? "Sorry, I …"

Zheng Lei raised his empty hand and gently rubbed Shui Rou's head. "Ai, I'll just accept it. I don't want my mother to find fault while I'm not paying attention. I'm missing one …"

Shui Rou covered Zheng Lei's mouth to prevent him from saying the next few words. Every time Zheng Lei said the three words "good bro", it would cause Shui Rou's heart to faintly ache.

Zheng Lei casually stuffed the bank card into his pocket, lightly patted Shui Rou and said, "Let's go?"

"Where to?" Shui Rou lifted her head and looked at Zheng Lei.

"Eating! Although she's beautiful and edible, it's still hard to tell whether a person is made of iron or steel."

"Oh, okay!" Shui Rou pulled Zheng Lei and walked outside.

"I say, give me your hand. It would be such a waste to ruin your identity." As he was pulled by Shui Rou, Zheng Lei felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

"Who said that? What do you care? I don't care, what do you care? "What's more, the wound on your hand has not closed. I'm helping you stop the bleeding." Shui Rou forcefully held onto Zheng Lei's hand as the two of them walked towards the dining hall.

The two walked out of Zheng Lei's room hand in hand. This immediately attracted everyone's attention. Although Shui Rou had come to Zheng Lei's room before, this was the first time they had seen each other in broad daylight.

Seeing the sour looks on everyone's faces, Zheng Lei felt that the sunlight above his head was quite dazzling. Although he didn't see Shui Rou as his woman, but the identity of the school beauty was clearly laid out there.

She then looked at Shui Rou and pulled Zheng Lei along, walking with a face full of pride, as if she had obtained what she wanted the most. Perhaps in her opinion, just being able to hold onto the happiness in front of her was enough?

Zheng Lei turned around and saw a girl with short hair walking towards the two of them. The girl had a baby face. She wasn't very pretty, but she was the kind of girl that was loved by everyone. It was just that, when paired with her almost unsmiling expression, she seemed a bit out of place.

"Oh, Qingmei, have you eaten yet?" Shui Rou asked with a smile.

This girl was called Yue Qingmei. In Nanshan University, she was the only one who had the closest relationship with Shui Rou.

Yue Qingmei shook her head and said, "Nope, I went to the library to read. I just got back, and you haven't eaten?"

"Yeah, how about we go together?"

Yue Qingmei looked at Zheng Lei, who was standing beside Shui Rou, and furrowed her brows. She seemed to be thinking deeply as she asked, "He is Zheng Lei?"

Shui Rou nodded proudly and said, "Yes, he's Zheng Lei that I mentioned to you many times."

"I know, I know you keep thinking about him. Little girl, did you finally succeed?" For some reason, even though Yue Qingmei's words sounded like a relaxed atmosphere, there was no smile on her face. Zheng Lei couldn't help but wonder if this woman would smile or if she had any other expressions.

A hint of desolation flashed across Shui Rou's eyes. "Where? I accidentally cut his hand, and that's why I kept holding on to it to prevent it from bleeding any more. "

"Blood?" Yue Qingmei revealed a look of worry as she walked up to the two of them and said, "Come, let me have a look."

Shui Rou reluctantly let go of Zheng Lei's hand and gave it to Yue Qingmei.

Zheng Lei felt that his hand was like a pet of another's. Being stared at by this short haired woman, he felt uncomfortable all over and involuntarily wanted to pull his hand back.

Unexpectedly, Shui Rou said, "Don't move, let Qing Mei help you look. She is from an aristocratic family of traditional Chinese medicine. With her there, your wounds will heal at a speed three times faster than ordinary people."

"Aristocratic family of traditional Chinese medicine?" Zheng Lei couldn't help but size up the girl. Her hair was short and cut into the shape of a student's head, but she also had some new elements. She wore a short black coat, revealing all the lines a girl should have.

Yue Qingmei raised her head and glanced at Zheng Lei, "What's wrong? Don't you believe it? "

"Mm, I believe, I believe!" Zheng Lei quickly replied.

Yue Qingmei straightened her body and said to Zheng Lei, "The wound on your hand is not very deep, it will heal in two days. You don't need me to transform into a snake to help you heal it, but if you want to recover quickly, I still have some medicine." As he said that, he took out a small porcelain bottle and placed it beside Zheng Lei, asking for his opinion. After Zheng Lei agreed, he lightly flicked his jade finger and some powder fell from the bottle. When the powder landed on Zheng Lei's wound, Zheng Lei immediately felt an itch on his hand.

"Is it itchy? "You have to hold it in, this is just an increase in your cell regeneration ability. Suddenly, your cell regeneration ability has increased by three times, so you will naturally feel uncomfortable. However, the healing speed of your wound will also increase by three times." Yue Qingmei said while putting away the small porcelain bottle.

Zheng Lei watched Yue Qingmei put away the small bottle and then accompanied the two women to eat.

He and Shui Rou were walking in front, while Yue Qingmei was silently following behind them like a light bulb.

When he walked to the entrance of the restaurant, Zheng Lei didn't notice that more than half of the bank card in his pocket had already been revealed. After all, he only stuffed it into his pocket at that time.

Sure enough, the restaurant was relatively rowdy, so Zheng Lei didn't even notice that the bank card had fallen out. Luckily, Yue Qingmei followed behind the two of them. When the bank card fell out of Zheng Lei's pocket, it was picked up by Yue Qingmei who was following them.

Yue Qingmei picked up her bank card and was about to give it to Zheng Lei when she suddenly discovered a very cute and thin cartoon sticker on the bank card. This cartoon sticker made Yue Qingmei very familiar with it.

"Rou, isn't this your bank card?" Yue Qingmei asked while holding the bank card.

Shui Rou turned her head to look and said, "Yes, but I've already given it away."

"Oh? "Giving away someone else? Giving it to whom?" Yue Qingmei asked.

Shui Rou pouted at Zheng Lei, but did not say anything.

When Yue Qingmei saw that Shui Rou did not say anything, she did not hesitate and directly handed the card over to Zheng Lei. Just as Zheng Lei was about to receive the card, Yue Qingmei saw the contents of the small slip of paper stuffed inside the card.

Immediately, Yue Qingmei's expression changed slightly as she pulled Shui Rou back and said, "Why did you give him an entire year's worth of living expenses?"

Shui Rou's soft voice sounded out, signalling Yue Qingmei not to continue. Zheng Lei scratched his head. He didn't think that this bank card would actually provide Shui Rou a year's living expenses. If that was the case, it would be worth at least seventy to eighty thousand yuan.
