Feng Xiuying suddenly felt that she had an extra piece of clothing on her. She looked up in surprise and saw Yang Hua’s sincere smile again. At this moment, she suddenly felt that her crying earlier was especially silly. Couldn’t she just borrow a coat from him? Why was she so stupid? Feng Xiuying felt embarrassed again.

“Thank you.” The beautiful reporter, who had always been carefree in front of the camera and made fun of others, blushed in embarrassment and said in a quiet voice.

“You’re welcome. It’s my pleasure.” Yang Hua rubbed his head in embarrassment. In his opinion, Feng Xiuying’s problem was actually caused by him. Shouldn’t he help her?

She stood up and put on Yang Hua’s thin sweatshirt. Feng Xiuying was finally relieved. No matter what, Yang Hua was a 180-centimeter-tall young man, so his clothes were naturally bigger than Feng Xiuying’s. It was draped loosely over Feng Xiuying’s body, completely covering her exquisite curves.

When they entered the police station, seeing saw that Feng Xiuying was actually wearing Yang Hua’s clothes, the police officer in charge of the statement only looked at the two of them with ambiguous eyes. Soon, the statement was completed and the two of them were allowed to leave. Yang Hua also handed over the briefcase and money he had picked up to the lost and found office.

On the way out of the police station, Yang Hua, who had been by Feng Xiuying’s side, continued to help her walk to the side of the road. He looked at her in surprise and said, “So you’re a show host! No wonder you’re so beautiful.” Yang Hua blurted out this compliment.

However, he couldn’t be blamed for this. If it was an ordinary friend or classmate, he definitely wouldn’t have said such explicit words. However, the other party was someone he wasn’t very familiar with. Moreover, she was a rather famous program host, so this sentence slipped out of his mouth.

Feng Xiuying’s eyes never left Yang Hua ever since she left the police station. During the police officer’s questioning just now, she recalled some details and some of the things that the police told her when she was unconscious, which made Feng Xiuying even more interested in Yang Hua.

Not only was Yang Hua ridiculously lucky that money fell on him like rain, but she was also rescued by him from the exploding car. When he saved her, no one saw him. What if he took out the money from the car that was about to explode and not her?

At that time, the car exploded, and the money on the ground was stolen. The police didn’t know how much money had been picked up on the ground, and they couldn’t get back the burnt money after the car exploded. Then wouldn’t he be able to leave safely with millions of dollars in cash, and no one would know that he had stolen money? Feng Xiuying couldn’t control her thoughts.

Who was he? Even running into a bank robbery could bring him good luck…

“Thank you.” Feng Xiuying smiled at Yang Hua and accepted his compliment. Of course, Yang Hua was not the first person to praise Feng Xiuying’s beauty. Moreover, Feng Xiuying was very confident in her looks. If she was not beautiful, how could she be a host of a popular TV show in City T at the age of 20 something?

“Unfortunately, the show didn’t get filmed.” Feng Xiuying shook her head again with a regretful expression. “Otherwise, if what you did today was on TV, even if you couldn’t become a star, you could at least become a role model.”

“Haha, forget it.” Yang Hua smiled and shook his head. “I think I shouldn’t be a celebrity or role model. Actually, I have my own selfish motives. Who wouldn’t want money? If someone says they’re giving me money, as long as the money comes from a legitimate source, I’ll definitely accept it. However, these windfalls…”

Yang Hua shook his head and smiled bitterly.

“What’s wrong with a windfall?” Feng Xiuying looked at him curiously and stopped in her tracks.

“My windfall is someone else’s lost property. Isn’t it immoral to build your good luck on someone else’s bad luck?” Yang Hua smiled calmly and said, “Besides, I’ve been used to bad luck for the first 20 years of my life, so I don’t believe that I’ll have good luck at all. Who knows, if I bring the money back today, I might be sued and thrown into jail tomorrow!”

“Oh? You have unlucky moments too?” After all, Feng Xiuying was a professional reporter and was very interested in other people’s privacy.

“Yes.” Yang Hua smiled and shook his head.

Feng Xiuying could tell that the smile on Yang Hua’s face was definitely not something that a hypocrite could do. It was definitely a smile that only a person who had experienced many sad things would have after seeing through their failures and setbacks. Feng Xiuying didn’t ask Yang Hua what happened to him. Her reporter’s sixth sense told her that even if she asked, Yang Hua would not tell her.

Yang Hua helped Feng Xiuying to the side of the road. When he saw the big clock opposite the police station, he immediately became anxious again. It was already around seven to eight o’clock at night. His classmates would definitely complain. “I’m leaving first! I’ll get the clothes from you next time! Goodbye!”

Yang Hua was so anxious that he didn’t even get Feng Xiuying’s contact details before he took a taxi to school. Looking at the taxi that drove Yang Hua away, Feng Xiuying crossed her arms and stroked the sweatshirt with her fingertips. She revealed a smile that was 70% curious, 20% helpless, and a little shy.

Sure enough, as Yang Hua had expected when he returned to the dormitory at eight o’clock in the evening, his roommates had already left without a trace. Looking at the empty dormitory, Yang Hua couldn’t help but sigh. He put the sesame biscuits in his hand on the table in the middle of the dormitory and began to pack his luggage.

Their school was not strict with the management of graduates leaving school. Many students who had found jobs had already moved out of the dormitory a month or two ago, so Yang Hua’s packing did not attract much attention.

When it was past nine o’clock in the evening, Yang Hua’s roommates all returned to the dormitory feeling hungry. A few of them wanted to complain as soon as they entered the door, but when they saw the two suitcases that Yang Hua had packed neatly, they were all dumbfounded.

“Yang Hua, you’re… this is…” It was still the guy in the plaid shirt from last time who spoke first. He stuttered as he asked Yang Hua.

“I found a job. I’m moving out tomorrow.” It was not convenient for Yang Hua to tell his roommates what job he had found, so he only vaguely told them.

“What? Congratulations!” The guy in the plaid shirt was surprised for a moment before he immediately smiled happily. The few people behind him also let out a dry laugh, but this laughter made people feel particularly sad.

No matter how they treated Yang Hua before, they were roommates who had lived together for four years. If they suddenly said that they were going to separate, they might never have the chance to meet again in the future. No matter who it was, they would feel very disappointed.

“Thank you.” Yang Hua forced a smile at his roommates.

“Hey! Yang Hua, you’re leaving tomorrow. Our school doesn’t have a formal graduation ceremony. I don’t know when we’ll be able to meet again in the future. I’m a lazy person, so it’s all thanks to you for taking care of me for the past four years. Although I’ve made a lot of jokes about you in the past, we’ll always remember what you’ve done for us.”

The guy in the plaid shirt suddenly patted Yang Hua’s shoulder and said emotionally, “We don’t have heartless people here. Although we never called you out when we went out to play, everyone would remember you every time we played and helped you to pay. We’ve been saving up for you when we go online and when we ate. Up until now, we have saved around a thousand dollars. We all know what kind of jobs we can find in this lousy school. You just found a job, so it won’t be easy for you to settle down. We all know that your family’s situation is not good.”

“You have to accept this money. Take it as a token of appreciation from us who have been taken care of by you for four years.”

Looking at the passbook that the guy in the plaid shirt took out from his pocket, Yang Hua’s nose unconsciously started to sting. Before he could refuse, the guy in the plaid shirt had already stuffed the passbook into Yang Hua’s pocket. Then, he raised his arm and shouted, “Let the rich man treat us to dinner tonight!”

With the shout of the guy in the plaid shirt, Yang Hua’s dormitory immediately burst into jubilation. Yang Hua was practically dragged into a small restaurant near the school by them. A group of roommates who were about to be separated had a big drink. Yang Hua was also a little drunk, but he was still much better than his roommates who were mixed with sadness and excitement.

The next morning, Yang Hua’s accurate biological clock woke him up at 7:30 a.m. sharp. He rubbed his head, which was still in pain, and looked around. His roommates were still sleeping soundly. The packet of He Ji Sesame Biscuits he bought yesterday was still on the table.

Touching the passbook that was still on his chest, Yang Hua felt a warmth in his heart. Although he was grateful for his roommates’ kindness, he still couldn’t accept the money.

After dealing with the things that he had to deal with after waking up in the morning, Yang Hua took out the passbook and placed it back on the table. Then, he carried his two pieces of luggage all the way to Qi Yuying’s door.
