My Female Python Roommate Always Wants To Eat Me. - Chapter 18

Chapter 18

She saw several messages from Yang Xinyi flashing with a dazzling red dot in the chat box. Her heart clenched, and she quickly clicked to check.

Yang Xinyi: It’s all over for me.

Yang Xinyi: There are a lot of bad women out there. They’ll only bully you. Only I truly care about you, okay?

Yang Xinyi: Xuexuexuexue, reply to me quickly!

Yang Xinyi: I’ll come to your school to visit you on the weekend after your military training is over!

Yang Xinyi: I miss you so much. I’m so not used to you not being by my side. I wish we could still go to school together like before.

…

Chat bubbles of varying lengths filled the chat box, revealing her deep attachment to her.

After carefully reading the messages Yang Xinyi sent, Bai Fuxue immediately took it seriously. She pushed her food aside, her eyebrows furrowed with worry, and she replied to her messages sincerely.

Yang Xinyi was a friend she had known since childhood, and she was also a demon who could only transform into human form.

But they were from different clans. Bai Fuxue was a long-eared rabbit, and Yang Xinyi’s true form was a hedgehog.

The only thing they had in common was that they were both very timid.

In middle school, Yang Xinyi and she were in the same school and were inseparable. They had promised to go to the same university, but unfortunately, Yang Xinyi’s score wasn’t high enough to get into Shanhai University, and she was accepted into her second choice. Their promise was then invalid.

It had only been less than half a month since they parted ways, and Yang Xinyi was already planning to travel a long distance to see her. Bai Fuxue knew she must have encountered a problem she couldn’t solve and could only confide in her.

She quickly asked Yang Xinyi what had happened during this time, but Yang Xinyi didn’t say anything, only that she missed her since it had been a long time since they had seen each other.

Since she wouldn’t say, Bai Fuxue had no choice but to hold back her questions and planned to ask her in person when they met.

She thought about the commercial areas around the school. There were many convenient hotels nearby. When Yang Xinyi came, she could stay in a hotel not far from the school, and it would be easy for them to meet.

She told Yang Xinyi about her suggestion. Yang Xinyi was silent for a few seconds before asking if she could squeeze into her dorm room with her.

Compared to a large, empty hotel room, Yang Xinyi preferred to stay with her friend.

Bai Fuxue felt a little awkward. The single bed in her dorm room was 1.2 meters wide. It was technically possible for two people to sleep on it, but she wasn’t sure if her roommates would mind having another person in the dorm.

She told Yang Xinyi that she needed to ask her roommates for their opinion.

The two of them then planned Yang Xinyi’s arrival time and what they would do after she arrived in Shanhai City. They finalized a rough plan.

After finishing her chat with Yang Xinyi, Bai Fuxue scrolled through her other contacts and suddenly spotted a familiar profile picture from Qi Zian, who rarely sent her private messages.

Bai Fuxue suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.

This person was so enthusiastic that she couldn’t handle it.

His actions, however, were not outwardly annoying. He spoke and acted flawlessly, leaving no room for her to maneuver.

After hesitating for two seconds, Bai Fuxue opened the message.

Qi Zian was asking about her fever and her leave of absence, concerned that she was seriously ill. He said he had asked her roommates to give her some medicine.

Bai Fuxue’s brows immediately furrowed, and she typed back: [You don’t have to…]

She and Qi Zian had a normal student-to-student relationship. It was not appropriate for her to accept medicine from him.

Just as she finished sending her refusal, she received an enthusiastic reply from Qi Zian.

Qi Zian: [I’ve already given the medicine to your roommate! Don’t be a stranger, you’re my class monitor.]

He easily dismissed Bai Fuxue’s refusal and added a playful line at the end to get closer to her.

It made Bai Fuxue feel as if she had a fishbone stuck in her throat.

She was Qi Zian’s class monitor, but she was also the class monitor for all the students in the Class 1 of Painting Arts, Fine Arts Department, Class of 2019.

Just as she was thinking of a way to make Qi Zian completely give up on his feelings for her, the dorm door was pushed open. Her roommates had returned from training.

A bag of cold medicine was placed on the common table, its presence feeling very strong.

Song Jiajia came over, cupped her cheek, and placed her hand on Bai Fuxue’s forehead. She looked at her from all directions and asked with concern: “Xiao Bai, do you still feel bad?”

“You look a little better now than you did this morning.”

Bai Fuxue used the excuse she had prepared long ago: “I still have an on-and-off fever. I probably have to ask the instructor for a few more days off.”

Song Jiajia agreed: “If you’re not feeling well, you should take a leave of absence. The only one who will suffer from being stubborn is you.”

An Xin agreed and then said, “Qi Zian really cares about you. When he heard that you were sick and took a leave of absence, he kept asking me and Jiajia how you were and if you were seriously ill during our break. And after training, he shoved the cold medicine into our hands and told us to give it to you. We didn’t even have time to refuse before he ran off.”

“Xiao Bai, what should we do with this medicine?”

“Qi Zian definitely likes you. If you don’t feel the same way about him, you should reject him as soon as possible to avoid any complications. But if you don’t dislike him, you could try getting to know him. Qi Zian is a good person. He’s enthusiastic and generous. If you two were to date, he would definitely dote on you.”

Bai Fuxue’s head ached at An Xin and Song Jiajia’s analysis. She couldn’t help but raise her hand in distress and tug on her fluffy baby hair on her forehead.

She smoothed it from the roots to the tips and then started over.

Her face was scrunched up in annoyance.

“I don’t like him. I definitely can’t accept this medicine.”

If she accepted it, it would be even harder to define their relationship in the future.

Bai Fuxue thought back to the scene at the beginning of military training when Qi Zian found an excuse to bring her a bottle of water. He winked at her roommates, and the way her roommates looked at her with excited, “let’s watch the drama” expressions made her feel uncomfortable, as if she was being secretly watched and branded as someone’s.

And that was just a bottle of water.

This time, it was a more targeted item—medicine—which would definitely attract more attention and trouble…

The more Bai Fuxue thought about it, the more determined she became not to delay.

She stood up abruptly, grabbed the unopened bag of medicine on the table, and quickly rushed out, “I’m going to return the medicine to him.”

When she reached the door, she unexpectedly bumped into a soft, fragrant embrace.

The woman’s scent was familiar and pleasant.

Her fair and slender fingers pressed on her shoulder, and a smile was in her voice: “In such a hurry? Where are you going?”

Bai Fuxue moved her head away from the woman’s chest, looked up at her, and shook the item in her hand. “Our class’s vice-class monitor brought me some cold medicine. I’m going to return it to him.”

Upon hearing the title “vice-class monitor,” Lu Qimin immediately thought of the bad boy who coveted the little rabbit.

The smile in her eyes instantly turned sharp.

It seemed that the warning she had given him last time wasn’t enough. He was still trying to show off to the little rabbit.

She pulled Bai Fuxue and changed their positions. “I’ll go with you.”
