Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2384: 2320: This Is a Lack of Character

“Why don’t you head out and grab something for me? I’m starving so badly that I can’t even budge, so how could I possibly clean my face and hands?” Ye Wanqing turned to her and complained.

“It’s way too late at this hour; the convenience store on campus has already shut down, so where would I even find anything to buy?” Xie Landi replied with a sigh of frustration.

Ye Wanqing cast a quick look toward Qin Xiaojun’s bed and remarked, “I’m aware that Qin Xiaojun stashes some snacks in the room—she’s always the one most prepared with treats—so go ahead and search for something for me.”

Xie Landi’s eyes grew wide in shock. “But those belong to Qin Xiaojun too, Ye Wanqing! How could I possibly rummage through her belongings?”

“Yet I’m on the verge of starving to death here.” Ye Wanqing truly sensed the sharp pangs of hunger twisting in her belly; she hadn’t touched a meal since lunchtime, having lingered at home in anticipation of Deng Qingjiang’s arrival. When he failed to appear, Chen Kaijin turned up instead, sparking the chain of chaotic events that followed—she got mugged, trekked a weary distance, and even scaled a fence.

At this moment, utter fatigue had overtaken her, draining every ounce of her energy. Without some food soon, she honestly believed she could faint from hunger.

“N-No way, I refuse; Qin Xiaojun would chew me out for it, and besides, th-this just feels wrong…”

Xie Landi backed away slightly.

Ye Wanqing shot her a fierce look, rose to her feet, and shuffled with laborious steps over to Qin Xiaojun’s bed.

“Ye Wanqing, you ought to hold off until Qin Xiaojun returns and get her permission before you touch anything…”

Ye Wanqing paid no attention to her words.

With her stomach growling fiercely, who could predict when Qin Xiaojun might return?

She clambered up onto Qin Xiaojun’s bed, searched through it hastily, and retrieved two containers.

As she pried them open, a tempting aroma wafted through the air.

Inside were two packages of Youqingwei sweets.

Qin Xiaojun’s family must be loaded—genuinely wealthy!

These pricey treats, and she keeps two full boxes stowed away. The affluent truly indulge in the finest luxuries!

Ye Wanqing simply couldn’t resist any longer; she plopped down right on Qin Xiaojun’s bed, snatched up the sweets, and devoured them ravenously, while calling out to Xie Landi, “Water—get me a cup of water, quick.”

Qin Xiaojun and Wang Lili had just returned from the library when they pushed open the door and spotted Ye Wanqing perched on the bed.

Next to Ye Wanqing lay two empty dessert boxes, and she clutched a single half-consumed piece in her grasp.

“What on earth do you think you’re doing?!”

Qin Xiaojun yelled as she dashed forward, snatched up the box, and gaped at Ye Wanqing in disbelief.

Was this some kind of illusion?

Hadn’t she been kicked out of the school already?

So why was she lingering here?

And this was her own bed!

Her precious Youqingwei!

All gone, devoured!

Plus, bits and crumbs littered the sheets everywhere!

“Ye Wanqing, what in the world is this behavior?” Wang Lili approached as well, knitting her brows in disapproval at Ye Wanqing’s mess.

“I-I was just so famished.”

Ye Wanqing swiftly crammed the leftover half-piece into her mouth and gulped it down hurriedly.

For one thing, her hunger was overwhelming; for another, these treats were irresistibly scrumptious—she’d planned to savor only one box at first, but once she began, she lost all control.

In the end, she polished off both entire boxes.

Though each contained just four petite morsels, it wasn’t a huge amount.

Qin Xiaojun could hardly believe her eyes. “Your hunger is your problem, not mine! Does that give you the right to raid my things without a word? Do you have any idea how expensive these desserts are?”

“I didn’t have any other option; I swear I’ll repay you once I get some cash,” Ye Wanqing insisted.

Qin Xiaojun noticed her perched dirtily on the bed, soiling the bedding, and instinctively grabbed her arm to yank her off.

“Is this really just about the money? You’re displaying such terrible manners! Now get off my bed!”
