He stole his best friend's photos and fell for a tycoon's heir through online dating.

Back in the dormitory, as soon as Xia Ruo opened the door, she felt three pairs of eyes staring at her.

My roommates are all awake.

Lin Wanzhi was sitting on the bed rubbing her eyes when she saw Xia Ruo come in from outside the door, and she was clearly stunned for a moment:

"Ruoruo, when did you go out?"

She paused, her brows furrowing slightly, as if trying to process something unbelievable.

"Wait a minute—why did you get up so early today?"

amount.

Xia Ruo stood there, holding her breakfast, feeling the shocked expression on Lin Wanzhi's face, as if she had witnessed her cat suddenly learning to open a can of food by itself. She was so embarrassed that she dug a magical castle out of her shoe with her toes.

She can't exactly say that I transmigrated into a book, that the original lazybones is gone, and now a 996 working slave from reality is living in her place, right?

"I bought breakfast for everyone."

Xia Ruo held up the plastic bag in her hand and shook it. "Everyone, come and eat."

Lin Wanzhi reacted the fastest, jumping off the bed and running barefoot to Xia Ruo, her eyes sparkling:

"Wow, my Ruoruo is so great! Not only did she go to eat breakfast by herself, but she also brought me lunch!"

As she spoke, she reached out to hug Xia Ruo.

Xia Ruo was caught off guard by her sudden enthusiasm, her body stiffened slightly, but she quickly relaxed.

Looking at Lin Wanzhi's clean and tidy face, she suddenly felt a mix of emotions.

Lin Wanzhi had always been the one bringing Xia Ruo her meals.

For three years, rain or shine, Lin Wanzhi bought whatever Xia Ruo wanted to eat without ever complaining.

Xia Ruo couldn't understand why a well-bred young lady like Lin Wanzhi would treat the original owner's nanny's daughter as a best friend.

Without any utilitarian motives or calculations...

But the original owner used this sincerity to its fullest extent.

Xia Ruo took a deep breath and said to herself: It's okay, she's here now, she'll repay her.

However, the response from the other two beds was not as enthusiastic.

Zhang Yu sat in the chair, not moving an inch.

She was wearing a loose black T-shirt, her hair was casually tied in a ponytail, and her expression was as indifferent as tap water in winter.

She glanced at the breakfast bag in Xia Ruo's hand, her lips twitching slightly, and her words were devoid of warmth:

"What do you want us to do for you this time?"

Xia Ruo paused for a moment.

It's no wonder Zhang Yu had this attitude.

The book clearly states that Xia Ruo always used these small favors to get Zhang Yu and Mu Zhizhi to do things for her, such as signing in, doing her homework, or dealing with the teacher's roll call. There was never a time when they did it without exception.

It's been three years, and not a single time has been innocent.

In Zhang Yu's eyes, Xia Ruo was a sophisticated egoist who calculated the return on every effort she made and had a demand behind every smile.

Mu Zhizhi's attitude was slightly better.

She peeked out from the upper bunk, her hair falling loose over her shoulders, smiled, and spoke in a much gentler tone than Zhang Yu:

"Thank you, Ruoruo. How much is it? I'll transfer it to you."

This translates to: I accept the gifts, but I don't owe any favors.

Xia Ruo knew in her heart that Zhang Yu and Mu Zhizhi had already given her a lot of face by being able to live peacefully together in the university dormitory for three years.

If it were someone with a short temper, they would have already broken off relations.

Seeing this scene, Lin Wanzhi's smile faded, and she looked at Xia Ruo with some pity before quickly trying to smooth things over:

"Oh dear, Zhizhi, what are you saying? Ruoruo didn't mean that. She just bought too much—"

Xia Ruo felt a pang of sadness as she watched Lin Wanzhi hurriedly speak up for her.

This girl is too easy to fool.

No wonder she's the female lead.

In the book, she was deceived for so long that she only realized her best friend had been using her photos to have an online romance with a man when Zhou Siyan stood at the school gate and called her "baby".

The feeling of being betrayed by the person you trust most... Xia Ruo felt suffocated just thinking about it.

She walked over and placed breakfast on Zhang Yu and Mu Zhizhi's table without saying anything more.

She knew that actions speak louder than words.

One breakfast doesn't prove anything; three, five, or ten times, they'll all be different.

She didn't rush to get close to them, but instead turned around, walked to her table, rummaged through the cabinet, pulled out a large garbage bag, squatted down, and began to clean up.

The clanging and banging sounds were particularly loud in the quiet dormitory.

Those were the sounds of cosmetic bottles being moved, takeout boxes being stacked, and waste paper and plastic bags being crumpled into balls and stuffed into garbage bags.

Lin Wanzhi wasn't the only one stunned.

Zhang Yu's hand, holding a glass of soy milk, hovered in mid-air, her eyes wide with surprise.

Mu Zhizhi was about to climb down from the upper bunk when one of her legs dangled in mid-air, and she froze as if someone had struck her acupoint.

They were all shocked.

Mu Zhizhi slowly moved to Lin Wanzhi's side and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

"Wanzhi, what's wrong with Xia Ruo? Did something happen?"

Lin Wanzhi was also stunned, her expression as if she were looking at an alien. Her mouth opened, and her voice was a little shaky:

"She should be...nothing wrong, right? She was fine last night, and I didn't hear her say anything was wrong..."

"Then why did she suddenly start cleaning?"

Mu Zhizhi's voice rose a octave, her gaze fixed on Xia Ruo's back as she squatted on the ground tidying up the takeout boxes.

"Isn't that outrageous? Did the sun rise in the west?"

Xia Ruo was frowning as she carefully placed the moldy takeout bag, which had been sitting under the table for who knows how long, into a large garbage bag with two fingers.

Upon hearing Mu Zhizhi's words, she subconsciously looked up and met three faces filled with shock and confusion.

She was startled and almost dropped the takeout bag in her hand.

"Why...why are you looking at me like that?"

Lin Wanzhi was the first to rush over, not caring at all that the ground was dirty, and squatted down next to Xia Ruo, placing the back of her hand on Xia Ruo's forehead.

Her expression was as serious as if she were in the emergency room: "Ruoruo, are you sick?"

"No," Xia Ruo said, both amused and exasperated. "Why do you say that?"

"I always had the cleaning lady clean up for you!" Lin Wanzhi's voice was trembling with tears. "If you weren't sick, why would you have cleaned up yourself?"

She looked Xia Ruo up and down, her eyes red-rimmed: "Ruo Ruo, don't scare me... Waaah..."

Xia Ruo's face darkened.

Who can control this naive and innocent female lead?!

She wanted to say, "I just wanted to tidy up my desk, what's there to cry about?" but looking at Lin Wanzhi's eyes, which were already starting to fill with tears, she felt that it wouldn't be appropriate to say that.

Zhang Yu, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but roll her eyes.

She genuinely didn't understand what kind of curse Xia Ruo had placed on Lin Wanzhi.

During their three years of university, Lin Wanzhi treated Xia Ruo exceptionally well, even better than she treated herself.

Whatever Xia Ruo wants, Lin Wanzhi gives her; if Xia Ruo doesn't want to go to class, Lin Wanzhi signs her in; if Xia Ruo is unhappy, Lin Wanzhi cheers her up; if Xia Ruo says east, Lin Wanzhi never goes west.

Even as an outsider, she felt sorry for Lin Wanzhi.

She had also kindly reminded Lin Wanzhi that Xia Ruo was too hypocritical and had been taking advantage of her.

As a result, Lin Wanzhi immediately became anxious, her eyes widened, and her tone became more serious than ever before:

"If Ruoruo weren't a vain person, we grew up together, and I know her best."

Don't say that anymore. She just wanted me to learn to be independent.

Zhang Yu was speechless.
