Chapter 29

After returning to the dormitory, Lin Yihang sat cross-legged and meditated to digest the food in his stomach, then took a shower, feeling refreshed.

Looking at the time, he realized it was almost time for class, so he got dressed and walked out of the room.

"Tong Jie, here’s two thousand yuan, three months’ rent, one month deposit, and three months’ rent in advance." In the living room, Dong Qing was handing a stack of money to Tong Xiaoyan.

"Here’s mine too."

Lin Yihang hadn’t paid his rent yet, so he took the opportunity to take out his money.

Over seven thousand yuan, not a large amount, but it was still quite impressive to suddenly take it out of his pocket.

Tong Xiaoyan glanced at him in surprise. Lin Yihang was dressed quite simply, and she didn’t expect him to be so wealthy. Ordinary high school students wouldn’t carry over seven thousand yuan with them.

She didn’t know that this was Lin Yihang’s entire fortune... to be precise, even this seven thousand yuan was borrowed from Yang Tingting.

Swish, swish, swish!

Lin Yihang counted out two thousand yuan, the red bills looking very appealing, and handed them over.

Tong Xiaoyan took the two stacks of money, quickly counted out five bills, and returned them to Dong Qing and Lin Yihang.

"You’re students, and you get your money from home. It’s not easy. Just pay the three months’ rent, no need for a deposit."

Lin Yihang thought it made sense, as he was short on money, so he reached out to take the money.

However, Dong Qing spoke up first, "Tong Jie, you’re too polite. We agreed with the agent to pay one month deposit and three months’ rent, so we should follow the agreement!"

Lin Yihang’s hand froze, feeling a bit awkward. The girl was so straightforward, and it would look bad if he hesitated over five hundred yuan.

Fortunately, Lin Yihang was good at adapting. He changed his hand from taking the money to pushing it away.

"Right! We agreed to pay one month deposit and three months’ rent. That’s the rule for renting now, Tong Jie, don’t be too polite."

Lin Yihang’s words immediately earned him a glare from Dong Qing. She had seen clearly that he had wanted to take the money.

So stingy!

Dong Qing labeled Lin Yihang as stingy for the second time.

Carrying over seven thousand yuan, he didn’t look like someone who was short on money! Yet, he was unwilling to pay even five hundred yuan as a deposit, which was just too stingy.

"Ha ha!"

Tong Xiaoyan, of course, saw through Lin Yihang’s intentions, pulled his hand, and pushed the five hundred yuan back into it.

"Alright, listen to me, take it! No need for a deposit, and you can’t call me Jie for nothing."

This made Lin Yihang feel a bit embarrassed.

When you’re poor, you have to be careful with money, and that’s why people think you’re stingy... so awkward!

It seems I need to earn money quickly.

Lin Yihang was already thinking about how to get rich. With his skills, it wouldn’t be too difficult. It was just a matter of choosing the right project.

Tong Xiaoyan also returned Dong Qing’s deposit.

"Alright, it’s getting late, you’d better go to class!"

"Goodbye, Tong Jie!" Dong Qing said, pushing her pink bicycle.

"Goodbye, Tong Jie!" Lin Yihang also said, walking out.

The school wasn’t far, and Lin Yihang thought running there would be a good way to exercise.

However, after running for a while, he felt something was off.

Leaving together with Dong Qing, she on her bicycle and he running beside her... it just felt awkward!

"Maybe... I can give you a ride?" Dong Qing obviously noticed this too. They were living under the same roof, and it was too inconsiderate for her to ride while he ran beside her.

"Alright!"

Lin Yihang nodded without hesitation, taking a few steps over. With his height, he didn’t need to jump; he just moved his butt and sat on the back seat.

Dong Qing felt the bike sink at the back, almost losing control of the handlebars, and it took a few wobbles before she regained her balance.

Doesn’t this guy know how to be polite?

Dong Qing grumbled inwardly.

Riding with a passenger, fortunately, Lin Yihang was quite slim and not too heavy. Plus, the bicycle was light and easy to ride, so it wasn’t too tiring.

On both sides were tall birch trees, and the afternoon sun filtered through the increasingly dense leaves, casting dappled shadows. A girl riding a bicycle with a boy on the back, moving along the shaded path, was a beautiful sight, and passersby couldn’t help but look.

"Young people are so lucky!"

An elderly man with white hair, leaning on a cane by the roadside, watched Dong Qing and Lin Yihang pass by and sighed. His voice was just loud enough for both of them to hear.

Dong Qing’s face turned slightly red.

Lin Yihang, however, didn’t react at all.

They soon arrived at the school gate. Dong Qing riding a bicycle with a boy... this naturally drew many curious glances from classmates, with a 120%回头率.

Lin Yihang’s change had only started in the past two days, and his fame hadn’t spread throughout the school. But Dong Qing was a well-known school beauty! Even if she didn’t know others, everyone knew her.

The usually solitary top student in the liberal arts department was actually riding a bicycle with a boy?

Big news!

This was definitely big news!

However, the boy was too ordinary. His clothes looked cheap and worn. Standing next to Dong Qing... it was an eyesore! If it were me, I would be a better match... countless envious and jealous eyes looked at Lin Yihang.

Lin Yihang touched his nose. He had to admit, he actually enjoyed this attention a bit.

Was it really that different pleasures came with different statuses? Lin Yihang wondered. In his previous life, he wouldn’t have been so shallow. Maybe it had something to do with the influence of the high school student Lin Yihang’s personality after the memory fusion?

"Doesn’t it feel good to walk with a beautiful girl?" Dong Qing asked, parking the bicycle in the shed and staring at Lin Yihang.

"Alright." Lin Yihang nodded.

"Hmph!" Dong Qing snorted and walked away.

So stingy!

So vain!

Dong Qing added another label to Lin Yihang.

Living with such a high-quality guy was truly unfortunate. Fortunately, it was only for two months, and everything would be better after the college entrance exam.

Lin Yihang smiled, not caring, and walked to the classroom with empty hands.

As soon as he appeared at the classroom door, the originally noisy classroom suddenly fell silent. The classmates looked at Lin Yihang with strange expressions, and some were huddled together, whispering.

Lin Yihang stepped into the classroom, and the classmates’ eyes followed his figure, as if expecting something.

What’s happening? Wasn’t the last lesson enough? Is someone hiding my chair again?

Lin Yihang’s face darkened.

His steps remained steady, but his anger was boiling inside.

If that’s the case, this time, no matter who it is, I’ll give them a bigger lesson. Kill the chicken to scare the monkeys! It seems the last time wasn’t harsh enough!

Lin Yihang clenched his fists.

"Hmm?"

But when he got to his seat, he found the chair was there, with nothing wrong.

Looking around, the classmates still had that expectant look, as if waiting for his reaction.

What are they expecting?

Lin Yihang was confused.

There was no glue or thumbtacks on the chair!

Lin Yihang even checked carefully before sitting down, still looking confused.

No reaction... the classmates were a bit disappointed.

Forget them!

Lin Yihang decided to ignore everyone.

"Hey, Lin Yihang, didn’t you notice anything different about your seat today?" Next to him, Little Fat poked him with his elbow and asked quietly.

...
