I snagged a bargain in a melodramatic novel and became incredibly wealthy!

Chapter 164 There's More Than One Road

Caiyi didn't hesitate for long and quickly chose a gift.

After all, they have known each other for many years and have a certain understanding of each other's preferences.

When Jiang Li saw the gift in Cai Yi's hand, she couldn't help but show her displeasure and said coquettishly, "Why didn't you buy me one?"

"Aren't we good friends?"

Seeing that she didn't react, Jiang Li muttered somewhat awkwardly, "Does being your friend make you feel wronged?"

Caiyi looked at her in surprise, secretly marveling at Jiang Li's straightforwardness.

Keep in mind that they've only known each other for a few days, yet they already consider her a friend.

Caiyi quickly waved his hand in denial and said with a smile, "Of course not, I'm very happy to have a friend like you."

Jiang Li gave a soft hum, like a proud little kitten, which was extremely cute.

Next, Cai Yi asked Jiang Li what kind of gift she liked.

Since Jiang Li was a new colleague, Cai Yi wasn't very clear about her preferences.

Jiang Li chose a white teddy bear with blush without hesitation.

This teddy bear was huge; it took up most of the bed when we brought it back to the dorm.

Cai Yi helped her carry the gifts back to her dormitory, and then went to find Xu Qingming.

The entrance to the student council office was already packed with students, making it difficult to get inside.

Caiyi looked at the densely packed group of students and was speechless, but she still raised the gift in her hand and squeezed into the group of students with difficulty, like an eel.

After some effort, I finally managed to squeeze in, only to find the office completely empty.

Cai Yi turned around and looked at one of the students with a blank expression, asking in confusion, "Where is everyone? What are you all doing here?"

The student's eyes gleamed with excitement as he explained, "The president and the others will be back soon! They'll be here at seven."

Caiyi looked up at the wall clock and fell silent.

It's not even four o'clock yet, and there are still almost three hours until seven o'clock.

At this point, it was very difficult to squeeze out of the crowded throng, as more and more students were gathering outside.

Left with no other choice, she could only stay there and wait, while asking the surrounding students for some snacks to pass the time.

With lunchtime fast approaching, Caiyi could only stand there waiting like an idiot, and he couldn't help but feel pathetic!

Thinking of this, Caiyi couldn't resist taking another bite of the spicy strip, which was given to her by a young lady!

The taste was pretty good, but I forgot to ask for the link.

The young woman had already been squeezed out of sight.

Time passed by, and it was almost seven o'clock. Caiyi was about to fall asleep next to the crowded students.

As for playing on your phone?

She had been using her phone until it was almost off, but she didn't dare use it until it actually shut down, leaving 20% ​​battery as a backup.

If I turn off my phone later, it will be troublesome if my family can't contact me.

Just then, the noise suddenly became loud, and the quiet atmosphere that had been waiting for several hours instantly became lively.

Caiyi jolted awake, all her sleepiness vanished instantly. She blinked her eyes and then dispersed with the surrounding students, clearing a path in the middle.

As Xu Qingming and his entourage slowly walked over, Cai Yi felt as if they were walking a red carpet.

Many students took out their phones to take pictures, and Caiyi couldn't resist using the last bit of battery power to take two photos as well.

She thought to herself that once the mission was completed, she would definitely show it to Xu Qingming and Tang Siqi so they would know how "shining" she was.

When Caiyi saw them approaching, he suddenly pounced out like a cheetah, and the previously noisy surroundings instantly became completely silent.

No one expected her to be so bold.

However, Caiyi didn't think too much about it.

She held the two gifts tightly in her hands, looking at them with unwavering eyes.

Then, without hesitation, she placed the gifts into their hands and sincerely apologized, "I'm sorry, it was my fault today, I misunderstood you."

She then asked, "If you're still not satisfied, you can slap them back."

Xu Qingming shifted his gaze from Cai Yi's hands to her face, trying to find the fervor in her eyes, but to no avail.

He breathed a sigh of relief, steadily accepted the gift, nodded slightly and said, "No need, I accept the gift."

Cai Yi turned to look at the silent Wei Yan and found him staring at the gift in his hand.

Afterwards, Wei Yan picked up the gift without saying a word, walked straight to Cai Yi's side, and left.

Upon seeing this, Cai couldn't help but grin, and the heavy burden in his heart instantly disappeared.

She happily ran along the unobstructed road.

She had been waiting there for a long time and was now starving!

She checked the time; it was already seven o'clock. She wondered if the cafeteria would still be serving food.

As it turned out, once you missed the school's mealtimes, there really was no food left to eat.

Caiyi helplessly rubbed his rumbling stomach and could only go to the supermarket to buy some instant food to fill his stomach.

I also saw the spicy strips that the girl had given me earlier, which is one of her favorite snacks, so I bought several more packs without hesitation.

When it came time to pay the bill, it cost almost 200,000 yuan, which made her very distressed!

So much money! My heart is bleeding.

Calling a delivery service is too slow; it would take four or five hours to deliver, by which time she would probably be starving.

As soon as Caiyi stepped out of the supermarket, he ran into Ma Ke, who was loitering outside the supermarket. Ma Ke had some bruises on his face from the bumps.

It must have been an accident when she dragged him down the stairs.

Caiyi, biting into a torn spicy strip, handed Ma Ke a piece of bread and held out his hand, saying, "Fifty thousand."

She didn't rip him off; she bought it for the same price.

Ma Ke was so frightened that he backed away, his face turning pale, and stammered, "I...I didn't want it!"

He was initially hesitant about whether to go to the supermarket to buy some food, but now he's scared off.

Caiyi couldn't help but laugh when she heard his voice crack due to nervousness.

While chewing on a spicy snack, she joked, "I'll lend you 50,000 yuan, and you can pay me back when you start working and earning money, how about that?"

Ma Ke quickly shook his head and refused, knowing that there were simply not enough job opportunities near the school for him to repay the debt.

Moreover, his daily commute to school already consumes a lot of his time and energy.

Caiyi was just saying it casually; she knew all too well that walking alone in this school without any transportation would be exhausting.

Not to mention going out to work outside of Lia University.

She looked at Ma Ke and sighed helplessly, saying, "Your environment has indeed limited you in many ways, but your knowledge is real."

"There are many academic competitions in the world that can offer substantial prize money."
