Jin Yiheng replied: “You weren’t around at midnight. You only have yourself to blame. Since you’re feeling so indignant, I shall send another red packet that’s solely for you. Will that do?”

Ji Gui sent a smiling emoticon and replied: “That’s more like it. Hurry up!”

Hence, Jin Yiheng sent another red packet that was captioned “500 thousand dollars.”

However, Ji Gui discovered that there were only five cents after opening it!

“Five cents? You’re driving me mad! Let’s end our friendship!”

“Alright.”

…

Ji Gui stared at the text messages furiously. He happened to run into Jin Yiheng when he was about to leave for work. He said with a sinister smile, “I must take it out on you today.”

“What are you trying to do? I’m up for it,” said Jin Yiheng, staring at him.

Thus, the two grown men continued to bicker at their doorstep. Although they did not slap each other, they ended up kicking each other playfully.

Needless to say, the two of them obviously did not fall out with each other for real. After all, they had grown up together and their friendship was way stronger than that.

Jin Yiheng once again sent another 500 thousand dollars’ worth of red packets that were split into four shares.

However, the unlucky Ji Gui again discovered that the red packets were all gone within the short period of time that he was away at the washroom.

Upon the sight of his expression, his assistant asked, “Brother Ji, why do you look so dejected?”

“God knows what I’ve been through. I only managed to grab five cents out of the one million dollars worth of red packets! Five cents!”

“…”

Long Xiaoxi returned to the dormitory to see that Li Xiaoxiao was currently lying on the bed and sleeping while Wang Hulu was nowhere to be found.

Li Xiaoxiao was not actually fully asleep because she had a terrible headache. Upon hearing the noises, she squinted at Long Xiaoxi and asked in a feeble voice, “Xuan Yin, you’re back?”

“Yes. Why do you look so pale? Are you ill?” Long Xiaoxi asked, placing a hand on Li Xiaoxiao’s forehead to find that it was rather warm. “You’re running a fever. Hurry and get up. You must go to the hospital.”

“Am I really running a fever? Great, I can finally go and see Rongyan,” she said gleefully.

“…”

Long Xiaoxi said, “Rongyan was on the night shift last night. He’s not at the hospital now. Did you make yourself get a fever on purpose? Hurry and get up. I’ll take you to the hospital.”

Shaking her head, Li Xiaoxiao sat up and said, “No, I’ll just go get some fever medicine. I’ll be fine after taking them.”

Seeing that she was refusing to go to the hospital, Long Xiaoxi had no choice but to say, “Lie down. I’ll go out to buy them for you.”

“Thank you.”

“I really don’t know what to do with you,” said Long Xiaoxi, who then headed out to buy her some medicine.

She gave Jin Rongyan a call as soon as she was outside.

“Where are you?”

“At home.”

“You were on the night shift last night, weren’t you?”

“Yes. I had an entire day of work. I still have to work the night shift tonight. I’ll be resting in the day.”

Long Xiaoxi said with a sigh, “That explains it. Li Xiaoxiao went to your workplace yesterday. She probably saw that you were on day duty and assumed that you would be working in the day today too. She gave herself a fever on purpose.”

Jin Rongyan was speechless. After a few moments of silence, he said, “Is there something wrong with her head? You should really take her to the neurologist to have a CT scan done.”

“Touch wood. There’s nothing wrong with her brain. She just fell in love with you at first sight. She’s a very nice girl. Rongyan, stop denying her feelings for you. I can tell that she has really fallen for you. Ah, it’s such a shame.”

“What do you mean?”

“It’s a shame that women become fools once they’re in love. I’m hanging up now.” She then ended the call and proceeded to buy some fever medicine for Li Xiaoxiao.

Long Xiaoxi returned to see that Li Xiaoxiao had passed out. She hurriedly made some tea and fed Li Xiaoxiao with the medicine.

Li Xiaoxiao’s cheeks were flushed and she was abnormally red.

“Let’s observe your condition and see if the medicine works. If your fever still doesn’t subside, we must take you to the hospital. Rongyan carries a torch for another girl who has a boyfriend. Although he never had the chance to confess to her, his heart is already occupied by someone else. Xiaoxiao, it’s not easy to win someone’s heart when they already fancy another person.”

“It’s alright. He doesn’t have a girlfriend anyway. I’ll give up if he has a girlfriend. I’m not a shameless person who doesn’t respect boundaries. However, I don’t know why but he seems to be the ideal husband for me. How can a man be so pretty? Xuan Yin, I really envy you for being able to grow up with him. However, why haven’t you ever fallen for him even though he’s so outstanding?”

“Because there are people who are more outstanding than him. Don’t you know that I was engaged to his older brother when we were children? The engagement was canceled much later, but the pathetic thing is, we’re married now.”

“You’re married!?! Since when!?!”

She answered, “Yesterday. He took my passport and got our marriage registered without my permission.”

“He’s so… domineering.”

“I’m so vexed.”

Li Xiaoxiao’s eyes lit up and she asked, “It’s Jin Yiheng, isn’t it!?!”

“Yes.”

“Xuan Yin, you’re really blessed to be married to Jin Yiheng. Others would faint from joy if they were you.”

“I’m not going to faint. I just wish I can knock the living daylights out of him.”

“Xuan Yin, don’t be so silly. You must treasure a good man when you have one. If you don’t want him, there are plenty of women waiting in line to get their hands on him. The fact that he chose to get your marriage registered behind your back just goes to show that he’s serious about you. However, why aren’t there any news about your marriage?”

“Only our closest friends and family are aware of it.”

Li Xiaoxiao’s fever seemed to have subsided all of a sudden. “I’m so happy for you!” she exclaimed excitedly.

“I’m not happy at all. You have no idea what I’m feeling now. I’m having mixed feelings.”

Wang Hulu returned. The two of them quickly changed the subject.

“I heard that we’d be wearing a uniform costume for the finals. Have you guys heard about it?” Wang Hulu asked.

“No, what’s the costume?”

Wang Hulu answered casually, “I think it’s a set of lingerie. Everyone has to wear the same color.”

Li Xiaoxiao and Long Xiaoxi were not surprised at all.

It was probably meant for them to display their figures.

Long Xiaoxi sat on the bed and stared at Zhong Minhe’s mobile number. She had no idea how to break the news of her marriage to him.

However, she still had to let him know anyway.

After some thought, she decided to send him a text message.

She was filled with an inexplicable feeling after the message was sent.
