Chapter 196: Chapter 196: Thin

An Yin returned to the classroom, came to her seat, and was about to put down her backpack when she heard Jiang Keke’s voice from behind.

"Yinyin, did you have breakfast with Shi Qing today?" Jiang Keke’s dissatisfaction was evident in her eyes, and her tone was slightly displeased.

An Yin turned around, afraid that their conversation would be too loud, and murmured, "Let’s sit down first."

Jiang Keke pouted, looking at An Yin with a resentful gaze.

"Since when did you and Shi Qing become so close?" Jiang Keke continued to throw out questions.

An Yin didn’t know how to answer her question for a moment. Was her relationship with Shi Qing really that good? Not necessarily. It was just that the two of them had gradually become more familiar with each other compared to their previous estrangement.

"We..." After some thought, An Yin didn’t answer Jiang Keke’s question but couldn’t help but speak well of Shi Qing, "Keke, actually, Shi Qing is quite nice. We..."

"I just moved out of the dormitory for a little while, and you’ve already taken sides." Jiang Keke interrupted An Yin before she could finish, grumbling with a face full of displeasure.

An Yin was about to refute when the bell for class rang out.

After class, Jiang Keke directly swapped seats with someone else.

During lunch, An Yin proactively went to find her, wanting to go to the cafeteria together. However, as she stood up, she saw Jiang Keke walking out of the classroom with someone else, a trace of disappointment crossing An Yin’s eyes.

An Yin took out her phone, intending to edit a text message, but looking at their chat box, she did nothing for a long time.

Having breakfast with Shi Qing was originally a very ordinary thing, yet she didn’t expect Keke to care so much about it.

An Yin also didn’t expect Keke to be so deeply averse to Shi Qing!

Keke is angry right now; it’s better to wait until she calms down to talk about this matter! An Yin thought.

In the end, she went to the cafeteria alone. She had been very ill before, and her face had thinned a circle. Coupled with a lack of appetite, she barely ate any lunch.

In the afternoon, she didn’t speak a word to Jiang Keke, which lasted until the end of class.

Jiang Keke stayed to rehearse for the New Year’s Eve dance program.

An Yin returned to the dormitory, and when she opened the door, she noticed a gaze falling on her. She hesitated for a moment and greeted, "You’re back?"

After speaking, An Yin realized how silly her words were.

"Yeah." Shi Qing responded, with a slight lift of her lips.

She was already in the dormitory, wasn’t she back?

An Yin suddenly remembered the favor Shi Qing asked of her and quickly took out her phone, heading towards the balcony.

She had spent the entire day trying to resolve the conflict with Keke and almost forgot about Shi Qing’s favor.

Standing on the balcony, at a high place, she wasn’t in the mood to look at the school’s scenery. Swiping through her contact list, she quickly found the man’s name.

Bao Shaojin!

She murmured his name.

As soon as she said it, she instantly became alert.

The call hadn’t even gone through; why did she already call his name?

With complicated emotions, An Yin dialed his number.

He hadn’t set a ringtone, and when the call rang, the simplest "beep beep..." sound came from the other end.

Simultaneously, An Yin tensed up, her mind in a state of extreme fear.

The call was quickly answered.

An Yin’s mind went blank.

"Speak."

After nearly ten seconds of silence, the man slowly uttered two words.

"Bao, Bao Shaojin!"

She stammered, calling his name, feeling embarrassed herself.

The man remained silent, waiting for her to continue.

"I have something to ask for your help with." An Yin was flustered when he didn’t speak.

"What help?" The man responded nonchalantly.

His voice carried a bit of easy calmness, as if no matter what she would say next, it wouldn’t be difficult for him.

An Yin gathered her courage, "My friend wants to visit ’Qin Land,’ but she can’t get in. Can you help her?" Her words carried a hint of pleading.

"Is your friend male or female?" The man’s tone had a hint of coldness.

An Yin didn’t notice his displeasure and answered honestly, "Female."

The other side paused for a moment, "I’ll send a car to pick you up."

"Us?" An Yin asked foolishly, "It’s my friend who’s going, not me."

An Yin thought Bao Shaojin didn’t understand, so she gently explained.

"There’s only one opportunity, are you going or not?" Bao Shaojin spoke again, his tone clearly impatient.

Thinking of the rare request from Shi Qing for her help, An Yin pondered for a moment and softly said, "Go!"

"I’ll have Assistant Lin come over."

"Actually, we can just take a taxi there ourselves." An Yin timidly suggested her little idea, finding it unnecessary to trouble Assistant Lin to come over.

"Listen!"

The man left these words and hung up.

Instead, An Yin was left completely frozen.

Were those last two words treating her like a child? Considering the man is Bao Cheng’s cousin, and in his eyes, she might still be seen as his cousin’s "girlfriend," maybe he just views her as a kid? An Yin thought while holding her phone.

"Shi Qing, do you have time now?" An Yin asked.

"Yes!" Shi Qing stood up, a little excited.

"Then let’s head to ’Qin Land’ now." Seeing Shi Qing’s enthusiastic demeanor, An Yin was indeed a bit taken aback. In her eyes, Shi Qing was always calm, even when almost being harassed by a blind date, Shi Qing remained composed.

An Yin couldn’t help but be curious. Why did Shi Qing want to go to "Qin Land," but it was someone else’s private matter. Even if curious, An Yin planned not to ask.

"I can leave anytime." Shi Qing didn’t hesitate or hide her intentions.

After class, she sat in the dormitory waiting for An Yin, eager to seek some answers.

"Let’s go." An Yin casually grabbed a bag, and the two walked out.

Shi Qing walked ahead, going too fast down the stairs. When she looked back, she couldn’t see An Yin, so she quickly stopped and waited for a few seconds until the lagging An Yin appeared.

"I was walking too fast." Shi Qing said apologetically.

An Yin smiled, "I’m too slow." She had been bad at sports since childhood, likely due to her physical condition, even in running, she’s always lagging significantly behind others.

Shi Qing slowed her pace, recalling how she had been hospitalized recently, and couldn’t help but ask, "Were you in the hospital for so long because of a cold?" Shi Qing only learned about An Yin being ill from Wen Mei.

"Pneumonia." An Yin replied.

Shi Qing frowned, "Has your health always been this weak?" Living in the same dormitory, Shi Qing had seen An Yin frequently fall sick many times. It’s just that they weren’t familiar with each other before, so even if An Yin was ill, Shi Qing basically ignored it.

"Yeah." An Yin also felt troubled by it.
