Chapter 750: Chapter 751 Freeloading Man 36_1

After boarding the bus, Song Lei just couldn’t help herself, "This person truly thinks he’s a treasure."

"I just didn’t want everyone to have a spectacle, nor did I want to become the center of everyone’s gossip."

"And yet, they ended up saying I was good."

"If I hadn’t been there, wouldn’t they have said that my not making a fuss was because I wanted to get back with him?"

Song Lei felt angry just thinking about it, "Thank goodness I won’t have to see them again."

Yes, that’s right, Song Lei had originally planned to visit school one last time after the results were out.

Now she felt it was unnecessary to waste her time, "Instead of going to see those annoying people, I’d rather lie at home."

Even lying at home and watching TV all day was better than attending so-called class reunions.

Xia Yuanji had never been much interested in attending class reunions; he just thought that if Song Lei went, he would go too.

Actually, if possible, he didn’t want Song Lei to attend the gatherings, even though he knew that Chiang Yi was no longer a threat to him.

But he just hated the way Chiang Yi looked at Song Lei, really hated it, and now, thankfully, Song Lei herself had suggested not wanting to go to the gatherings.

"What’s the point of going out with them?"

"I’ll take you out for fun, to eat something nice," Xia Yuanji had attended a class reunion before and it truly was an eye-opener.

Everyone had different ideas, their preferred places to go, foods to eat; to make everyone happy was a discussion that seemed to go on forever.

It was hard enough to come to a consensus, and even then, there were still people who found this or that unsatisfactory.

That reunion is still fresh in Xia Yuanji’s memory, "Were class reunions always this troublesome before?"

Past class reunions, Song Lei shook her head, indicating they weren’t this complicated, "Because back then, I would ask Chiang Yi where he wanted to eat."

"In order to get everyone to agree, I would foot the bill, and they would just eat and drink for free, naturally having no objections."

The original host was wealthy and generous, "Back then, I really was foolish."

"I didn’t skimp on spending money, yet everyone looked down on me when they saw me."

I really feel the original host wasn’t worth it, "Look, without my naive contributions, their organized gatherings would just crash and burn."

Don’t they want to go to nice places to eat, drink, and have a good time for a change?

Of course, they do, but it’s all about the money.

"Let’s just stay in the class group." Originally she had intended to leave the group quickly, but then she thought the group should be kept, there might still be spectacles to watch.

"I just remembered there’s still some class funds left," Song Lei suddenly recalled that the class wasn’t completely without money, at least there were several hundreds in class funds remaining.

"Don’t tell me they plan on spending the class funds." With the class funds covering a part of it, everyone’s personal contribution would be less.

And surely, someone would suggest buying a small gift for the teachers, and when that time comes, who knows if they might have to chip in for class funds again.

She needed to bring up the issue before they spent the class funds on a group meal, to let her classmates know she wasn’t completely indifferent.

Once home, Song Lei turned on her computer, logged on to QQ, and shared her thoughts.

Song Lei: There’s still class funds left, I think this money can be spent on buying gifts for our teachers to thank them for their efforts.

After sending the message, Song Lei didn’t care whether anyone replied; she was already quite exhausted, took a bath, and prepared to rest.

Of course, she didn’t forget to call her parents and brother to tell them that the college entrance exams had ended smoothly, and that she personally felt she performed fairly well.

Meanwhile, I also mentioned the matter of wanting to follow Xia Yuanji on his trip. It’s a big deal, and I certainly couldn’t let the Song Family’s Three Giants hear about it from someone else.

After some people have had their way with the story, you never know what strange shape it’ll come out in when it gets past their lips.

Not long after hanging up the phone, I received three text messages. I opened them and, lo and behold, they were notices of deposits into my personal account.

Even though no text had come through, Song Lei understood their message – it’s okay to travel with Xia Yuanji, but when it comes to shopping, she absolutely must not use Xia Yuanji’s money.

Song Lei really liked the Song Family’s habit of giving money at the drop of a hat, especially liked it, in fact. No one would complain about having too much money.

With the exams over and her bank account swelling with incoming funds, Song Lei was feeling absolutely delighted.

Feeling all cheery, Song Lei didn’t stay awake long on her bed before falling into the arms of sleep, pondering where to go for a late-night snack if she woke up hungry in the middle of the night.

To her surprise, when she woke up, it was already early the next morning, and it was hunger that had roused her from her slumber.

Groggily getting up and checking the time; actually, the brightness seeping through the curtains had already told her without a doubt that she must have slept through to the next day.

Picking up her phone to check the time, it really was nine o’clock. She scrolled through her messages to see if there were any news.

Seeing a few messages from Xia Yuanji, she directly called him, "Just woke up, hungry, want to eat something."

After briefly bringing that up, she hung up the phone, turned off the air conditioner, opened the windows to let in some fresh air, and went to the bathroom to freshen up a bit.

By the time she came out of the bathroom, she heard the sound of the front door opening. Poking her head out, she saw him, "You’re here."

Ready to help carry things, Xia Yuanji dodged her, "Let’s go eat in the dining room."

If he didn’t want her help, she wouldn’t insist. She was just putting on a show of willingness to help anyway.

Eating happily, she took the opportunity to ask Xia Yuanji how long he had rested. She believed this workaholic probably had only taken three to four hours of break at most.

"I only slept for two hours, then I got up and was busy with stuff until after three in the morning."

"Got up around seven in the morning." Xia Yuanji was already accustomed to this pace.

Wow, Song Lei once again expressed that being a domineering CEO really wasn’t easy, "You’ve worked hard. By the way, have you set a departure time?"

If they were leaving tomorrow, she wanted to go out for a stroll and see if there were any nice clothes in the mall.

"Our flight is this afternoon at two o’clock." Xia Yuanji had been planning to wake Song Lei up, but unexpectedly she had already woken on her own.

An afternoon flight meant they were leaving soon. Song Lei was stunned, "I, I haven’t packed yet."

They were set to leave at noon, and it was nearly eleven o’clock now. She hadn’t prepared anything.

"Just bring your underwear; the rest we can buy when we get there."

It was no issue if the luggage wasn’t packed, "You haven’t been shopping recently."

Shopping in a different place always ensured you’d find something suitable.

"I should travel with an empty suitcase?" No, that didn’t sound right. Song Lei thought she didn’t even need to buy a suitcase, "I can get one when we arrive there."

Since she didn’t travel much, Song Lei used the original owner’s suitcase. She was slowly switching the style of clothes she liked from what the original owner preferred.

As for the suitcase, since she didn’t use it often, she had been too lazy to buy a new one.

Now with such a great opportunity at hand, she certainly couldn’t miss out.

"I’ll just take a backpack, put some skincare products in it, and maybe a change or two of clothes."
