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 barely budge, so how could I possibly clean my face and hands?” Ye Wanqing turned to her and remarked.

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

Ye Wanqing cast a look toward Qin Xiaojun’s bunk and added, “I’m aware that Qin Xiaojun stashes snacks in the room all the time—she’s always got the best treats—so go dig some up 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?”

“I’m on the verge of starving here.” Ye Wanqing truly sensed the sharp pangs of hunger twisting in her belly; she hadn’t touched a meal since midday, lingering at home in hopes of Deng Qingjiang’s arrival. Instead, Chen Kaijin appeared, sparking the chain of events that followed—she got mugged, trekked a weary distance, and even scaled a fence.

At this moment, utter fatigue gripped her, draining every ounce of energy. Without some food soon, she honestly believed she’d collapse from hunger.

“I-I refuse to do it; Qin Xiaojun would chew me out, and this just feels wrong…”

Xie Landi stepped back slightly.

Ye Wanqing shot her a fierce look, rose to her feet, and hauled her weary legs over to Qin Xiaojun’s bed.

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

Ye Wanqing paid no attention to her words.

With starvation gnawing at her, who could predict when Qin Xiaojun might show up?

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

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

They were revealed as two packages of Youqingwei sweets.

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

These pricey treats, and she keeps two full sets right here. The affluent truly savor the finest!

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

Qin Xiaojun and Wang Lili returned from studying at the library, and the instant they pushed open the door, they spotted Ye Wanqing perched on the bed.

Next to Ye Wanqing lay two empty dessert packages, with just a single half-consumed piece clutched in her grip.

“What in the world are you up to?!”

Qin Xiaojun yelled and dashed forward, snatching the container while glaring at Ye Wanqing in disbelief.

Could this be real?

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

So why was she lingering around?

And this was her bunk!

Her precious Youqingwei!

All gone!

Plus, crumbs littered the sheets everywhere!

“Ye Wanqing, what on earth is this?” Wang Lili approached as well, knitting her brows at Ye Wanqing’s behavior.

“I-I was famished.”

Ye Wanqing quickly shoved the leftover half-piece into her mouth and gulped it down with hasty chews.

For one thing, hunger drove her; for another, these goodies were irresistibly tasty—she’d planned to stop at one box, yet once she began, she lost all control.

In the end, she polished off both.

Though each held only four tiny portions, it wasn’t a huge amount.

Qin Xiaojun could hardly believe it. “Your hunger is your problem—why does that mean you raid my things without a word? Do you have any idea the price of these desserts?”

“I didn’t have options; I’ll make it up to you once I get some cash,” Ye Wanqing promised.

Qin Xiaojun noticed her perched on the bed, covered in grime and soiling the linens, and instinctively yanked her off.

“Is money even the issue here? You’re displaying such terrible manners! Get down from my bed!”
