I was reborn after my cousin stole my life.

Chapter 248: Playing Two Games

"How many of our classmates failed?" Yuan Xiu asked.

Zheng Yuemei pursed her lips, "Just Ding Xuewen."

Yuan Xiu: "..."

That would be so embarrassing.

No wonder Ding Xuewen wished he could disappear into the ground.

Zheng Yuemei and Liu Yazhi both needed to go back to their dormitories. After packing up, they prepared to go home, so they pulled Yuan Xiu along, and they would leave together later.

"Sister Liu's daughter is in the dormitory. Her father brought her here this morning. She's very well-behaved."

She is indeed a very well-behaved little child.

Wearing a blue dress with white floral patterns, and with her hair tied in two small pigtails, she sat timidly close to Liu Fang.

Yuan Xiu took two White Rabbit milk candies out of her bag and handed them to her, "Here you go."

Liu Fang knew that her family was well-off and had plenty of food and drink, so she didn't stand on ceremony with her daughter and patted her on the shoulder: "Yuanyuan, say thank you to Aunt Yuan."

Yuanyuan reached out her little hand to take the candy, lowered her head and whispered, "Thank you, Aunt Yuan."

"You're welcome." Yuan Xiu patted the child's head.

Liu Fang sat her daughter on her lap, unwrapped a candy, broke off one half and put it in the child's mouth, wrapped the other half in a candy wrapper and put it in the child's pocket. "When we were in the countryside, she ran around everywhere with great joy, but as soon as we came to the city, she couldn't even speak properly."

"Young children are like this when they first arrive in a new environment; they'll get used to it over time."

Even an adult would be hesitant and timid when first arriving in the city, let alone a child who grew up in the countryside.

Liu Fang laughed and said, "Her dad said the same thing. He's been bored at home these past few days, so he's even checked out the schools. He plans to send her to school in the second half of the year."

Upon hearing that she was going to school, Yuanyuan's eyes lit up as she nestled in her mother's arms.

Seeing this, Yuan Xiu smiled. She looked shy, but she was actually quite lively inside.

……

Yuan Xiu, along with her sisters-in-law Chunmei and Xiulan, first boarded a bus, and then hailed a tricycle by the roadside, leisurely heading to the suburbs where the textile factory was located.

"This area is full of factories, pharmaceutical factories, textile factories, garment factories, steel mills, all in this area. It's not far from the city, but it's a bit far from our side, one in the south and one in the north," Sister Chunmei said to Yuan Xiu, holding onto the side of the tricycle.

"You've never been here before, have you?"

Yuan Xiu shook her head.

"Don't even mention that Yuan Xiu hasn't come; I haven't come at all," said Sister Xiulan.

After saying that, she said to Yuan Xiu, "Your school starts early and your holidays start a few days earlier. My Sun Ying will have to wait a few more days to come back. Last time she came back, she said it was hot in the dormitory. If we can meet this time, I will buy some material and make her a quilt for summer."

Sister Chunmei laughed and said, "Go to school when school starts. It's getting cold. Even if you make it this year, you won't go."

"If she can't use it this year, she can use it next year. She still has several years of schooling to go..."

Yuan Xiu was chatting with her sisters-in-law when she suddenly spotted a familiar face.

The women's wives also saw it. "Who is that? Did that girl run into some thug?"

The tricycle had just reached the back of the factory when it saw a man and a woman standing by the corner of the wall. One was about to leave, while the other was chasing after her and pulling her back. The woman's eyes were still red.

Chunmei's sister-in-law stopped the tricycle, pulled Xiulan's sister-in-law off, and strode over. "What are you doing! You man, what are you trying to do, stopping that young lady?! Are you trying to be a pervert?!"

The man's expression changed: "Don't talk nonsense! This is my girlfriend!"

Yuan Xiu raised an eyebrow and jumped off the carriage as well.

Chunmei and Xiulan stood side by side, completely blocking Yuan Xiu's view.

"Your boyfriend?" Sister Chunmei asked the woman directly, "Is this person really your boyfriend?"

The woman nodded.

"See? We're really a couple! Besides, how could I, a college student, possibly act like a pervert?"

Upon hearing that the man was a college student, Chunmei and Xiulan's expressions changed. In those days, people had a natural admiration and respect for college students; intellectuals were, after all, talented people.

"So you're a college student! You should have said so earlier! We have a college student here too." Sister Chunmei was referring to Yuan Xiu, and as she turned her head, Yuan Xiu was revealed.

Yuan Xiu waved to the man whose expression had changed drastically: "Ding Xuewen, it's been a long time."

Ding Xuewen was drenched in cold sweat. What do you mean, "long time no see"? We just saw each other a few days ago when we were checking the grades!

Did Yuan Xiu hear what he just said?

When did she arrive?

How did she end up here?

"Won't you introduce yourself, Ding?" Yuan Xiu looked at the female comrade standing next to her.

A pretty girl was wearing blue overalls with a white polka-dot short-sleeved shirt on top, and two thick black braids hanging down in front of her chest.

When Yuan Xiu looked at her, she also looked at Yuan Xiu with curiosity.

"Are you a classmate or an alumnus of the School of Literature?" the woman asked boldly.

"Classmate, classmate." Yuan Xiu glanced at Ding Xuewen and said with a half-smile, "We're very close. I know everything about you at school."

Chunmei's sister-in-law: "What a coincidence! That must be a misunderstanding."

Ding Xuewen was covered in sweat, whether from the heat or from fright, it was hard to tell.

He looked at Yuan Xiu with pleading eyes, "Yuan Xiu, we have something to do, so we'll be leaving now."

After saying that, she grabbed her partner and tried to leave.

Yuan Xiu, who was two-timing, was naturally not going to let this opportunity pass, and directly asked loudly, "By the way, Ding, do you have Wu Xue's contact information? I have something I'd like to ask her."

What a load of rubbish!

When did she and Wu Xue become so close?

Ding Xuewen couldn't stop it in time...

"No? That can't be right, isn't she your girlfriend?"

The moment those words were spoken, the room fell silent!

Only the faint sound of the wind blowing the leaves remained.

Chunmei and Xiulan's eyes widened, their eyes burning with gossip!

This girl is this guy's girlfriend, and that girl named Wu Xue is also this guy's girlfriend... This guy is two-timing!

And you call yourself a college student?!

I bother!

The two sisters-in-law looked at Ding Xuewen with disdain.

Ding Xuewen panicked: "No, it's me and..."

Before he could finish speaking, he heard a loud "slap" and was slapped hard across the face!

After the fight, the girl bowed to Yuan Xiu and ran away.

Ding Xuewen was caught in a dilemma: to pursue her or not. He glared hatefully at Yuan Xiu, "You!"

Yuan Xiu blinked, looking completely innocent: "What's wrong? Isn't that your sister? Why did she hit you, her brother?"

Ding Xuewen knew that Yuan Xiu was pretending to be stupid, and Yuan Xiu also knew that Ding Xuewen knew she was pretending to be stupid.

Go ahead and cause trouble if you dare!

Right now, only this girl knows, but once school starts, more than just her will know.

There is no obligation to cover for Ding.

Even if Wu Xue is unlikable and annoying when she pesters her with those things, it doesn't mean he won't help female comrades.
