Stubborn Love of a Roguish Scion

Ye Erruo lowered her gaze on Shu Xin and nodded in agreement. “Alright.”

“How are we supposed to eat this? It doesn’t seem to contain many nutrients.”

“Are we still talking about nutrition here? We have to be grateful that we have food to eat now,” Sun You reminded her leisurely.

“This bun is rather good. It’s soft and chewy.” The protagonist seemed to be enjoying her dinner.

All of a sudden, the row of people sitting at the dining table turned toward Ye Erruo with a look of surprise on their faces.

She asked quizzically, “What is it?”

“What brand of makeup do you use? Is it waterproof?” one of the girls asked with obvious envy.

“…”

“What makeup are you talking about? Ruoruo is not wearing any makeup,” Shu Xin chipped in.

Her proclamation earned a few startled cries around the table. All eyes had fallen on Ye Erruo by now in shock.

“Little missy, what’s your name? What do you do?” Sun You took this opportunity to chat her up.

“Are you eating or chatting now?” Coach Lee walked over without a warning.

Everyone immediately looked down and started eating in silence.

“Go back and get some rest after eating. Understood?”

“Understood.”

At about nine at night, Ye Erruo and Shu Xin sneaked a few buns secretly into the dormitory.

“Wow… I’m starving.” Yao Tiao picked up a bun and sunk her teeth hungrily into it.

“Sshh… Speak softer…” Shu Xin reminded her.

“There’s nothing nice here to eat. We only have buns for the night. You just take these for the time being. Go and drink some hot water later.”

“I’m very thankful indeed.”

Yao Tiao and three other girls munched forlornly on the buns as they drank hot water.

“Ruoruo and I will steal a few more buns for you girls tomorrow.”

Ye Erruo glanced at Shu Xin, grinned softly, and agreed. “No problem.”

“Where did you get the buns?”

A girl walked into the dormitory out of the blue.

“Wu Mengran? What are you doing in our dormitory?”

“Hey, everyone, come over here! Quick! Come and take a look!” The intruder let out a holler when she saw them.

Heads popped out from both sides of the dormitory. “What happened?”

“The four of them did not go to dinner, yet they are munching on buns. Where could the buns have come from?”

A crowd started to gather while Wu Mengran spoke, as people emerged from their dormitory rooms. “Hey… Where did these buns come from?”

“Shut up, Wu Mengran! Those of us inside this room need to sleep now. Please get out.”

“It isn’t fair. We didn’t go to dinner either, so why didn’t we get our buns?”

Frowning, the protagonist replied, “We brought some back for the rest of the girls, as we couldn’t finish the buns earlier. What’s wrong with that? Do you have something to say about this? If you’re unhappy that your dormitory friends didn’t pass you some, you can go and reason with them. Get out now. We still need to sleep.”

“You… This is against the rules! I’m gonna tell the coach!” Wu Mengran objected vehemently.

“Coach Sun! Coach Sun!” The girl then ran and called for their coach.

What!

Ye Erruo rushed over and reached out with her hand to cover the other girl’s mouth so she could not make a sound.

“You! Wuuwuu…”

“Mengran!” Upon seeing their friend being bullied, Wu Mengran’s friends quickly stepped in to help.

Yao Tiao stuffed the last bun down her throat, grabbed the pair of stinking socks that she had just removed, and beckoned to the rest of the gang to stop the girls from helping the snitch.

“What do you think you are doing?”

Someone who wanted to help Wu Mengran faltered back when she saw what they were doing.

“All of you better behave yourselves and keep your mouths shut. It’s uncivilized to make a scene at night. Do you understand?” Yao Tiao rubbed their faces with her dirty socks. Well, do they think we are ideal people to bully? This bunch of girls is out to cause trouble!

Pong! The door was suddenly kicked open.

Coach Sun walked in with a torchlight, looking frigid. “What are you doing here?”
