Rebirth from the Ashes - Chapter 592

Chapter 592: Duvet Cover and Bedsheet as a Welcome Gift

What godlike siblings were they? The brother was hot and talented while the sister was good-looking and a genius. Jesus! Mortals could only look on with envy.

Yu Yuanxi nodded with a smile. “I leave my sister in your hands.”

The two roommates shook their heads. The mild-mannered young hunk was a Greek god. With their knees going weak, they shook their blushing heads. “No trouble, no trouble at all.”

Shen Zhangqing, Yun Jinping, and Yu Yuanxi helped with the unpacking, not allowing Shen Xi to lift a finger. It was like she was a lazy bug.

The two roommates were envious. They were jealous she had such a doting family.

One of the girls named Jiang Xuanxuan mustered the courage and approached Shen Xi after a long hesitation. She asked in hushed tones, “Does your brother have a girlfriend?”

Jiang Xuanxuan could die and go to heaven if she had a boyfriend like Yu Yuanxi. She was willing to have her lifespan reduced by a decade if God granted her wish.

“Yes.” Shen Xi nodded and whispered back.

Not at all disappointed, Jiang Xuan enviously said, “Your brother’s girlfriend is one lucky girl.”

Shen Xi agreed. She could tell that her roommates were innocent and cute. There was no question she would get along with these bright girls who played no mind games.

“Yeah.” Shen Xi bobbed her head.

The other roommate, Yan Xiaoxiao drew close for the girl-talk. However, she was too late to eavesdrop on anything. Jiang Xuanxuan had dropped the subject and went on to ask if Fu Qingye was better looking in person than on TV and posters. Anyone who had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Fu the Movie Star face-to-face commented that he was not photogenic.

God. To say the hottest man alive was not photogenic, she was curious just how good-looking Fu Qingye was. She wanted to meet him in person.

“Yes, he doesn’t look good on TV or photos.” Shen Xi cleared Jiang Xuanxuan’s doubts. The real Qingye looked way better than on TV.

“I really want to see him with my own eyes.” In tears, Jiang Xuanxuan held her hands against her chest.

“I’d rather take one year off my life for a chance to meet him.” Yan Xiaoxiao made a wish.

Shen Xi uttered, “You guys are talking like it’s impossible. You can see him live when he comes to China for events. You might even get a photo with him and an autograph.”

“Xixi, are you close with Qingye?” Jiang Xuanxuan passionately looked at her. Nevertheless, she felt embarrassed after the words left her lips. “Don’t take this the wrong way. I’m just interested to know more about Qingye.”

In fact, she wanted to ask if Shen Xi could get the tickets to the live event when Qingye were to come to China. Jiang Xuanxuan was not even able to buy scalper tickets the last time.

Yet, Jiang Xuanxuan wanted nothing more than to meet Qingye. She was too eager to jump at the slight glimmer of hope. She hoped she was not overstepping any boundaries to ask Xixi about this when they had just met.

“I’m not that close with him.” Shen Xi then added. “But I can think of something if it’s tickets to the live event.”

These girls had no malicious intent since they were merely starstruck and trying to see their idol. Getting them tickets was the least she could do.

“Really?” Jiang Xuanxuan was tempted to leap with joy but quickly got a grip on herself. “I’ll pay you when you secure tickets to Qingye’s next event.”

Yan Xiaoxiao nodded her head. “Me too. Me too. I’ll pay whatever it takes for the ticket.”

Meeting Qingye was all she ever wanted. It never occurred to her that it might soon be realized.

Xixi had gained quite the reputation and status in showbiz. She may not be close enough to hang out with Qingye but what were a few tickets to her?

Yun Jinping was glad to see the girls gathered around for a small talk. Her daughter’s roommates were good kids. They were good-natured and easy to get along with.

The worst that could happen while living on campus was not getting along with roommates due to a clash of personalities.

During her university days, Yun Jinping was ostracized by her wealthy roommates. The others ate, shopped, and went to class together, leaving her out of the group.

Shen Zhangqing and Yu Yuanxi made the bed before sitting on it for a rest.

Yun Jinping took out the duvet cover and bedsheets distributed by the school and placed them in a basin. “Honey, I’m heading to the common laundry room to help Xixi wash these.”

The school might have an automated washing machine facility, but not in every accommodation. A common laundry room installed with two washing machines for the students was set up in each dormitory.

“Sure.” Shen Zhangqing responded and got back to his conversation with Yu Yuanxi. He did not mention going with her.

Yun Jinping was carrying the sheets to the laundry room when she bumped into a middle-aged woman with a fully painted face. The woman who seemed to have class expressed surprise. “Huh, are you Yun Jinping?”

Taken aback, Yun Jinping carefully scanned the woman but failed to recognize her. She let out an embarrassed smile. “And you are?”

“I’m Xiao Ran, we studied in the same university. I can’t believe you can’t recognize me since we shared the same dormitory.” Xiao Ran introduced herself before taking a glance at Yun Jinping’s clothes in disdain.

Tacky.

Yun Jinping was the same as her dingy self back in her university years. Judging by her plain outfit, she must be penny-pinching like her family, scrimping and saving to pay for her child’s tuition fees.

For Yun Jinping to be here, her child must be accepted into Capital University. Oh, it must be tough for Yun Jinping. Xiao Ran wondered how Yun Jinping’s child fared in the National College Entrance Examination to be admitted into the university.

Her daughter was the provincial capital’s top scorer!

“Hello.” It was all coming back to Yun Jinping. At a closer examination, she realized Xiao Ran went through a lot of change. The woman was not that attractive back in college.

“We hadn’t come across each other since our graduation.” Xiao Ran was overly friendly. Since their time in university, she had enjoyed Yun Jinping looking shabby. The latter was like a clown she could laugh at.

“Yes.” Yun Jinping remained neutral as she meekly replied, not displaying indifference or enthusiasm.

They were university mates after all.

“You’re washing your child’s sheets. Don’t use the ones provided by the school. The quality is horrible. I bought my child Jin Yun’s limited-edition set. It cost me a good twenty thousand yuan.” Xiao Ran gave her a smug look.

Did the cheap woman know what Jin Yun was? Twenty thousand yuan must be the spending of Yun Jinping’s family for an entire year!

“It’s made from pure cotton. The quality is fine.” Yun Jinping smiled back softly.

When did Jin Yun start to produce duvet covers and bedsheets? How come she knew nothing about it?

“That won’t do.” Xiao Ran patronizingly gazed at her and said, “By right, your child should call me an aunt. I’ll take you all out for dinner later and to a shop at a nearby mall. I’ll buy some duvet covers and bed sheets as a welcome gift to your child. Take it as a token of my regard..”
