Chapter 182: Addicted to Free Loading

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Perhaps it was because Zheng Yue looked pitiful, but after knowing that the other party had been fired, Yang Xin and Leng Yan always brought her some delicious food.

...

The lunch they brought her every day would even consist of three or four dishes. There would always be a meat dish that was much better than the vegetables Zheng Yue used to eat.

“You’re the best.” Zheng Yue thanked them with a smile.

Before Leng Yan could say that she was welcome, Zheng Yue snatched the lunch box from her hand and brought it to her table to eat.

The words that she had yet to say were stuck in her throat again. Seeing Zheng Yue like this, Leng Yan felt a little disgusted. However, when she thought about how sad she was previously and how she had even lost her focus when she was studying these days, she felt that Zheng Yue was quite pitiful. Therefore, she only sighed and didn’t say anything.

Zheng Yue only felt that the food for the past few days had been delicious. Most importantly, she didn’t have to spend any money.

In the past, Zheng Yue spent 8 to 9 yuan but could only eat vegetables. It didn’t taste good. But now, the bento that cost 15 to 16 yuan was free for her to eat, and there was also fragrant meat.

“How dare you make me…” A palace drama was playing on her phone as Zheng Yue ate and watched.

She was relaxed and not as anxious as she was two days ago. She didn’t even keep up with her class notes.

Her streaming subscription was also borrowed from Murong Qiao.

This kind of life was really too leisurely, making Zheng Yue feel a joy of indulgence.

“Zheng Yue, I saw that the canteen has been recruiting again recently. Do you want to give it a try?” Yang Xin reminded her.

Zheng Yue stopped eating. Then, she arranged her expression and looked at Yang Xin.

“The canteen auntie said that she doesn’t want me anymore.” Zheng Yue sounded sad and looked like she was about to cry. “I want to go back too, but…”

Seeing her like this, Yang Xin couldn’t say anything else.

However, she still had some doubts in her heart. Zheng Yue had dispelled the idea of applying without even trying. This made Yang Xin more or less feel a little strange.

There was a limit to one’s good intentions, but Zheng Yue didn’t seem to realize this at all.

She seemed to be used to having delicious food delivered to her every day as long as she stayed in the dormitory. Even some daily necessities were paid for by her roommates.

Although Leng Yan and Yang Xin felt that something was wrong as time passed, they didn’t know what to say when they saw Zheng Yue’s pitiful appearance. They could only purse their lips and pay for her.

Murong Qiao could tell what Zheng Yue was thinking, but she didn’t take the initiative to talk to her. She just pretended to be kind and waited for the situation to change, waiting for an opportunity.

“I’m sorry. It’s all my fault for not finding a job…”

“I don’t want to do this either, but I’m afraid 1 won’t be able to continue attending school and have to go back home to work…”

“Can you help me buy this? 1’11 definitely return it to you when I earn money in the future.”

There were a lot of such words. But the more she said them, the more Yang Xin and the others’ immunity to Zheng Yue increased.

“Today’s meal.” Leng Yan placed the lunch box on Zheng Yue’s table and said coldly.

She turned around and returned to her seat. She turned on her computer and did her class homework.

Zheng Yue looked away from her phone to see what the dishes were today. In the end, she saw a large patch of green vegetables.

“Why is there no meat?” She frowned. Subconsciously, she didn’t even notice her tone.

During this period of time, Zheng Yue was already used to eating and drinking well. Now that she saw that there was no meat in today’s meal, she immediately felt dissatisfied.

Leng Yan, who had brought her food, naturally heard this, but didn’t even turn around. She just continued doing her own thing.

“Leng Yan?” Zheng Yue didn’t hear the other party’s reply and called out her name again.

Murong Qiao, who was sleeping lightly on the bed, was also woken up by this commotion. She slightly lifted the bed curtain and looked down.

Were they quarreling?

There was a hint of interest hidden in her indifferent gaze. She used the cover of the bed curtain to observe the situation below.

“What did you expect?” Leng Yan turned around and looked at Zheng Yue.

Her tone was cold as she had long lost her patience with Zheng Yue.

During this period of time, in order to help Zheng Yue buy food, Leng Yan and Yang Xin began to live with a tight budget. They had to save a lot of money from their daily allowance just for her.

Money didn’t fall out of thin air. Their living allowance was also their parents’ hard earned money.

However, Zheng Yue became worse over time. From getting free food at the beginning to needing their help to pay for daily necessities, Zheng Yue slowly became a bottomless pit.

“What do you mean?” Zheng Yue was stunned. She didn’t expect Leng Yan to treat her like this.

“You still haven’t found a job?” Leng Yan changed the topic. There was a hint of coercion in her tone. “1 can’t always bring you food.”

The atmosphere became cold and stiff with their conversation. Murong Qiao was not surprised that it would become like this. Then, she got out of bed.

“Calm down.” Murong Qiao handed Leng Yan a bottle of water. “Drink some water to cool down.”

The weather was hot today, and the sweat on Leng Yan’s forehead had yet to subside.

Leng Yan looked at the water in her hand and then at Zheng Yue, who despised her for not bringing meat. She then immediately sneered, her sarcasm obvious.

“Leng Yan, I just got some good news!” Yang Xin’s voice came from outside.

The next second, the dormitory door was pushed open by Yang Xin. Before she could finish her sentence, she was met with the strange scene in front of her.

She immediately stopped talking and closed the dormitory door. “What’s going on?”

“She is upset with me for not bringing her meat.” Leng Yan sneered. Her words were also a little sarcastic.

Leng Yan couldn’t be blamed for this. It was normal for anyone to feel a little resentful after being treated as a wallet for so long. Moreover, Zheng Yue’s tone of questioning Leng Yan made her even more unhappy.

Yang Xin exclaimed and looked at Zheng Yue inexplicably. She didn’t know what to feel.

Initially, they were more than willing to help Zheng Yue. After all, when one of them was in trouble, it was normal for everyone to help.

However, this didn’t mean that Zheng Yue could use their kindness and sympathy to squander their friendship. In fact, in the past few days, they had realized that Zheng Yue was not as enthusiastic about finding a job as before.

Other than attending classes, Zheng Yue stayed in the dormitory. If she wanted anything, she would tell them. Her days were simply too happy and carefree.

“Well, actually, 1 wanted to mention something,” Yang Xin scratched her head. “When I came back, 1 took a look at the school’s announcement of scholarships and financial aid, and I saw Zheng Yue’s name on it.”

The scholarship and financial aid amount is not much, but when combined, it adds up to nearly 3,000 yuan. This should be enough to support Zheng Yue for a while.

When Yang Xin saw the name list, she was also happy for Zheng Yue. She wanted to come back and inform the other party of the good news, but she didn’t expect to run into such a scene.

Yang Xin’s words immediately made Zheng Yue’s expression change. “Re-really?”

She tried her best to pretend to be surprised, but now that she no longer had any sympathy, everyone could tell that Zheng Yue was not surprised by this news.

In other words, Zheng Yue already knew that she would obtain the aid. After all, those on the list would always be informed early.

“Perfect. Now, we don’t have to help you anymore since you can receive benefits while finding a job now.” Leng Yan laughed sarcastically.

Leng Yan took this opportunity to cut off her help to Zheng Yue. She didn’t want to be used as an ATM again.

“No!” Zheng Yue subconsciously blurted out and rejected Leng Yan’s words.

The moment she said it, she realized that her tone was too forceful. Then, she forcefully switched her expression and became soft and fawning.

“I haven’t received those subsidies yet. I don’t have any money now, and 1 haven’t found a job…” Zheng Yue habitually pretended to be pitiful.

Zheng Yue, who had tasted the sweetness, was already used to this “free loading” life. Now that she would have to spend her own money on everything, it was like cutting off a piece of flesh from her heart.

To Zheng Yue, this was no different from suffering a loss.

“Are you unable to find a job or do you not want to find it?” Yang Xin also sighed and asked her.

They were not blind or stupid. Yang Xin had seen Zheng Yue getting increasingly lazy as the days went by..
