Reminded by the man, Shu Cheng then felt a slight throbbing pain in the area where she had just been injured on her calf.
She quickly said, "It's not from the injury just now, it's fine."
"Let's go."
Rong Yin didn't give Shu Cheng a chance to refuse. Seeing that she hadn't moved for a while, he approached her with a light smile, "What, do you need me to carry you?"
Shu Cheng waved her hand in horror and quickly followed him obediently.
Naturally, there was no need to go to the hospital for such a small injury. Finally, at Shu Cheng's suggestion, the two went to the school's infirmary together.
On the way, many people's eyes were fixed on them.
It was not surprising, this man was just too dazzling. He was the most eye-catching person no matter where he stood in the crowd.
"The wound has been treated. Be careful not to get it wet and cause inflammation when you go back."
When the doctor in the infirmary said this, her eyes kept glancing at Rong Yin from time to time.
Shu Cheng felt very uncomfortable on the side and quickly thanked the doctor before getting up to leave.
“Where is your dorm? I'll take you there.”
“No, no need.”
Shu Cheng waved her hands repeatedly, “Thank you for helping me out in the office just now, otherwise I really wouldn't know how to explain.”
“Don't know how to explain?” Rong Yin raised an eyebrow, slightly bending down and leaning closer to Shu Cheng, “What, is the money in your hand really of unknown origin?”
The unfamiliar breath suddenly got so close, Shu Cheng froze instantly.
She subconsciously held her breath, staring at the man in front of her for a while before looking away.
“This, this is my private matter, it's not convenient to tell you, anyway, I'm very grateful for what happened just now.”
Rong Yin chuckled and extended his palm towards Shu Cheng.
“Since you want to thank me, you have to show some sincerity.”
Shu Cheng was dumbfounded.
Sincerity?
This person doesn't look like he's short of money, what does he want from me?
Could it be…
Seeing Shu Cheng's expression becoming more and more strange and horrified, Rong Yin guessed that she was overthinking, and said speechlessly, “Give me your phone.”
After getting Shu Cheng's phone, Rong Yin just used her phone to call himself.
“Treat me to a meal sometime.”
Shu Cheng instantly felt a bit embarrassed. Her thoughts were too narrow-minded; she actually had such dirty ideas.

“Okay, oh right, my name is Shu Cheng. I don't even know your name yet.”
“Rong Yin.”
Rong Yin...
On the way back, Shu Cheng was still pondering this name in her heart, feeling like it sounded familiar.
Just as she reached the entrance of the dormitory, she bumped into Yu Xinyi rushing out with Tian Shuang and Mo Yu.
Seeing Shu Cheng return, Yu Xinyi quickly widened her eyes and stepped forward.
“Shu Cheng, you're back?! That's great.”
“We just saw the message in the group chat and were so worried.”
Message in the group chat?
Shu Cheng quickly took out her phone to take a look. The group messages had already jumped to 99+. When she opened it, they were all discussing what had just happened in the office.
Mo Yu crossed her arms, looking impatient. “What exactly happened? You didn't really steal money from home, did you?”
“Xiao Yu, don't say that. Shu Cheng isn't that kind of person...”
Shu Cheng didn't answer, just indifferently scrolled through the group messages.
The classmates who usually didn't interact much were surprisingly united in their gossip about this incident.
“Shu Cheng?”
The dorm leader, seeing that Shu Cheng remained silent, showed some concern. “Don’t look at it anymore. There’s no need to read what these people are saying.”
“Yeah, I know.”
Shu Cheng nodded and smiled at his roommates.
“Don’t worry, I didn’t steal the money. It’s all been taken care of.”
“Really taken care of?” Mo Yu asked, pursing her lips, still seeming a bit skeptical.
Shu Cheng glanced at her but didn't respond, only saying that he was tired and wanted to go back to rest.
“There’s an elective class later.”
Shu Cheng waved his hand and walked towards the dorm. “I’ve taken a leave.”
Back in the dorm, Shu Cheng lay on the bed and called out to the system.
【Shu Cheng: No reward for what just happened?】
【System: Although you were falsely accused of stealing money, the crisis was resolved in the end, so... the system was not triggered.】
【Shu Cheng: ...】
Alright, that makes sense.
She picked up her phone and glanced at the recent call log, the sound of the man saying his name echoing in her mind.
Rong Yin...
Rong...
Shu Cheng's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly went online to search.
Indeed!
The young master of the Rong family, that's his name.
If she remembered correctly, the Rong family and the Lin family had a marriage agreement.
If she were still the eldest daughter of the Lin family, then Rong Yin would be her fiancé!
Thinking of this, Shu Cheng was startled by the idea herself.
A sense of relief sprouted in her heart. That man... although he had a first-class appearance and a good figure, for some reason, she felt a sinister aura about him when they were together.
Shu Cheng recalled his expression. Several times when he smiled, Shu Cheng felt a chill run down her spine.
It was as if that smile never reached the depths of his heart!
Unable to suppress a shiver, Shu Cheng shook off the thoughts in her head and checked how much money she had left.
There was a total of more than sixty thousand.
What should she buy?
Cars and houses? That's not even a drop in the bucket.
Cosmetics and skincare products? She doesn't use much of them usually, not a necessity.
Speaking of necessities, there is indeed something Shu Cheng lacks!
She took out her phone, found a number, and dialed it. Soon, a lazy voice came from the other end.
“Hello, who is this?”
“It's me.”
“Oh? Little Shu Cheng, what made you think of calling me?”
“Do me a favor, rent a studio closer to A University, and equip it with all the necessary supplies. I'll transfer the money to you in a bit.”
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a much clearer voice.
“Rent a studio? And near your school? Are you crazy? That kind of location isn't cheap.”
Shu Cheng nodded, “I know, I have sixty thousand here. See how long you can rent it for with that.”
Xie Yucheng on the other end of the phone almost dropped her jaw, and jumped up from her bed in the rented apartment.
“Wait, where did you get sixty thousand from?”
“What is the way to get rich, why didn't you tell me earlier.”
Shu Cheng helplessly moved the phone a little further away, afraid of being disturbed.
She was too lazy to explain to Xie Yucheng, and hung up after saying 'we'll talk later'.
Sixty thousand, she transferred it to him without batting an eye.
Xie Yucheng quickly received the money and sent back an emoji of a cat giving a thumbs up.
Xie Yucheng: Received! I'll go scout around and try to make Xiao Shucheng a famous artist soon!
Shucheng smiled looking at her phone.
She and Xie Yucheng met years ago while learning to paint. Both were alone and without support, and they quickly became friends.
Over the years, they've seen each other's hardships.
She knew that Xie Yucheng, like her, had a dream of painting, but unfortunately, reality prevented him from realizing it.
Now that she has the help of the system, why not give it a try? What if her and Xie Yucheng's dreams could come true?
