Chapter 2014: Chapter 2012: Concealing Her Identity

Qin Xiaoyu was tidying up her things, her heart filled with worry, and her fair, pretty face was full of concern.

Even though her dorm mates knew her family conditions weren’t great, she was still an Imperial Capital person with an Imperial Capital household registration, which is enough to make them envious.

Of course, this certainly did not include the other two girls from wealthy families.

They rarely played together, and had tried to bully Xiao Yu before, but Qin Xiaoyu is no ordinary person. After dealing with a scheming girl like Bai Yun, she grew up quickly and knew how to handle such people. Plus, with the amulet given by her sister-in-law, her aura was quite formidable, so with just a few words, those girls from wealthy families backed down, and did not dare to provoke her anymore.

Another reason they didn’t dare to provoke her was because Qin Xiaoyu had many friends at school.

If Qin Xiaoyu were truly bullied, her friends would rally to support her.

Moreover, Qin Xiaoyu and her friends raised investments; although the funds hadn’t arrived and they had to wait another half year, this still gave them confidence, didn’t it?

At any time, those who achieve success through their own abilities are worthy of respect.

Qian Baozhu, who lived on the upper bunk above Qin Xiaoyu, was also packing her things. Her home is in Yanjiao, so she’d naturally head back there during breaks. Girls are different from boys; despite family difficulties, unless absolutely necessary, they won’t stay in Imperial Capital to work. During holidays, they go home, and she was no exception.

She was taking the afternoon train, and upon noticing Qin Xiaoyu’s worried demeanor, she couldn’t help but ask, "Xiao Yu, what’s wrong? You look somewhat troubled. Going home should be a happy event, right? Is something happening at home? Tell me, and I’ll definitely help if I can."

Qin Xiaoyu had made quite a few friends here.

She was involved in investment with including her boyfriend, totaling five people, three men and two women, and naturally, their relationship was good.

In the dorm room, Qian Baozhu and Luh Lingling, who wasn’t there at the moment, were her best friends these three years.

But at this moment, Qin Xiaoyu felt a sense of guilt.

Initially, she concealed her identity to avoid trouble; the most important reason was her desire to finally leave home, not wanting her parents to continue controlling her.

Although the university she attended wasn’t where her parents taught, many of their colleagues were there. If discovered, her university life wouldn’t be as free, being watched over here and there—you might as well stay at home.

So, she told Qin Xuan and Shen Manru not to visit her at school or let their colleagues check on her. Qin Xuan was happy to comply; children need to grow and can’t always be sheltered. They have to learn to fly on their own, while Shen Manru reluctantly agreed, knowing the school wasn’t far from their home.

Her parents visited a few times, but Qin Xiaoyu could shoo them away with a few words.

Gu Qiaoqiao and Qin Yize came to see her.

But they kept a low profile.

Qin Xiaoyu was already beautiful; her brother was naturally handsome and her sister-in-law a one-in-a-million beauty. Together, they were quite eye-catching, but Gu Qiaoqiao and Qin Yize were not flashy people, so Qin Xiaoyu didn’t have to explain anything, and it passed by smoothly.

After all, Qin Xiaoyu’s home is in Imperial Capital, undeniably true. For many out-of-town students, an Imperial Capital registration is enough to evoke envy.

Now, the problem was she couldn’t deceive Qi Fangxiu and her two good friends forever.

Especially hearing Qian Baozhu’s concern now, knowing her character—if she said she had difficulties at home, Baozhu would surely lend great support, making her feel even guiltier. She hurriedly shook her head, saying, "Baozhu, I’m fine, really. It’s just that thinking about being apart for over a month, I’ll miss you."

Qian Baozhu, not believing her, playfully put a hand on her shoulder, teasing, "Come on, you won’t miss us. If you do, it’ll probably be your Brother Qi you miss."

Qian Baozhu deliberately garbled her words saying ’Brother Qi’, making Qin Xiaoyu’s face flush instantly, gently hitting her, slightly annoyed, "Qian Baozhu, enough with the jokes, what ’romantic brother’..."

Qian Baozhu paid no mind to Qin Xiaoyu’s mild annoyance, continuing to laugh, "Haha, you really have a guilty conscience. How could you mishear? I said Brother Qi, not ’romantic brother.’ Oh Xiao Yu, do you have secrets? Is there something you’re hiding from us?"

Qin Xiaoyu blushed, glaring at Qian Baozhu. But having just confirmed her relationship with Qi Fangxiu, she didn’t want more people to know, so she had to continue hiding it. Gosh, it was worrying, concealing one thing after another, pouting, "You better hurry to pack, or you’ll miss the train."

Mentioning this, Qian Baozhu was genuinely anxious; there are many people at the train station now, and even with a ticket, you have to squeeze with many others to get on the train. So, she stopped teasing and hurried to pack her things.

Qian Baozhu did have good family conditions, using a wheeled suitcase to pack everything, locking it all up with a small lock, and still couldn’t help but say to Qin Xiaoyu, "Xiao Yu, honestly, we all know about you and Qi Fangxiu. But Qi Fangxiu is really great, so if you haven’t confirmed your relationship yet, you better hurry. If someone else snatches him away, you’ll cry too late."

Warmth filled Qin Xiaoyu’s heart.

Initially, she didn’t have a good relationship with Qian Baozhu as Qian Baozhu also liked Qi Fangxiu. Back then, Qian Baozhu was much bolder, always looking for various reasons and excuses to find Qi Fangxiu, but Qi Fangxiu had no feelings for her, naturally being quite cold.

Once emotions rise between a man and a woman, attention isn’t average; even body language can be analyzed into a hundred outcomes.

Thus, Baozhu noticed Qi Fangxiu liked Qin Xiaoyu, and Qin Xiaoyu also had a fondness for Qi Fangxiu.

Being a straightforward Yanjiao girl, Qian Baozhu directly talked to Qin Xiaoyu, telling her that she merely liked Qi Fangxiu, but since he wasn’t interested, she wouldn’t engage in any creepy competition just because the man isn’t taken.

From then on, Qi Fangxiu was just a regular classmate.

Of course, this matter was their secret; no one else knew it. Yet, post-conversation, Qian Baozhu truly adhered to it.
