Can't Take My Eyes Off You

C 110-111

Besides, what the h*ll was Favorability Value? Why would she want to do someone a favor just for the sake of earning credit for the value? She could just work hard on her own and didn't want to live such a tiresome life.

"Hey, why aren't you the least bit excited?"

Moe observed Jiang Yao for a while. After exploring the system, he watched her sit on the chair and flip the books on the desk. From the looks of it, she didn't seem like she was excited to own the system. Did she even know that the medical knowledge in the system was hundreds of thousands of times more comprehensive than the books in her hands?

"Why should I? I have to go around offering favors to the people who have nothing to do with me simply to gain some Favorability Value. Now, tell me, why would I do that?" Jiang Yao rolled her eyes. She was always so willful and stubborn, which was why she had missed so many chances with Lu Xingzhi in her previous life.

"It's not like you have to do it deliberately. It's just being kind, you know? The thing about the Favorability Value is that it's not as hard to gain as you think," Moe said, getting a little antsy. "Look at all the respectable and esteemed people from ancient times to the present. You know they're nice people, don't you? However, regardless of whether they're really nice or otherwise, they're still admired by many!"

"You are telling me to be pretentious then..." Jiang Yao shot a sideways glance at Moe, taunting, "Sure enough, you have spent a lot of time on earth. Looks like you know quite a lot about us humans."

Moe snorted and scratched his little nose annoyingly. "What am I giving you the system for if you don't use it? Such powerful Medical System is going down the drain."

"Take it back, then. I will be ever so grateful if you take it back, more thankful than when you saved me!" Jiang Yao said seriously.

Moe sighed and murmured to himself, "If I could take it back, I'd already have done so, rather than to give it to you, the ungrateful and foolish human who takes it for granted!"

When Wen Xuehui pushed the door open, she saw Jiang Yao sitting alone in a daze. Moe had walked away from the balcony angrily and she wasn't sure where he had gone off to.

"Are you alone?" Wen Xuehui asked to confirm as she walked in. Seeing that other roommates hadn't returned yet, she pulled Jiang Yao out and went out of the dorm.

Exactly like the scene in her previous life, Wen Xuehui told Jiang Yao about a Chinese restaurant in the South Block that only started operating six months ago. The restaurant gained a lot of good reviews through word of mouth recommendation.

Jiang Yao recalled that in her previous life, Wen Xuehui had told her about meeting the man in the restaurant on the first day of school. So, when Jiang Yao heard her suggestion, she reflexively blurted out an excuse to not go to the South Block. "I'm a little tired from the traveling today, I don't want to go that far. Why don't we just have dinner nearby? We can go to the restaurant tomorrow with our roommates, the more the merrier."

Wen Xuehui was a local, she didn't know where Jiang Yao came from and how long she took for her journey here. She stopped insisting on going to the South Block after hearing Jiang Yao's remarks.

Wen Xuehui wouldn't have known that Jiang Yao was thinking about her now.

As Jiang Yao replayed the incident that happened before rebirth, she remembered that Wen Xuehui had met the person who changed her life entirely in the aforementioned restaurant.

Wen Xuehui had been the apple of the Wen family's eyes since young. Her father was the president of Nanjiang Medical University, whereas her mother was an esteemed socialite from an aristocratic family who was also the director of Nanjiang First Hospital. Wen Xuehui had had a very protective and loving upbringing as she grew up.

When Wen Xuehui was a freshman, she met Li Ronghui, who was in a junior year.

Speaking of Li Ronghui, he was a famous student at the university. He had an excellent academic track record, and he was handsome and polite. The girls in the university often described him as a warm ray of sunshine that they constantly pursued.

This senior, who was bathed in glory, had started to approach Wen Xuehui since she was in her freshman year and started to court her officially during the second semester of her freshman year.

In the past life before Jiang Yao's rebirth, Li Ronghui was Wen Xuehui's first love and also the only man whom Wen Xuehui liked. However, it was Li Ronghui who hurt Wen Xuehui as if he wanted to skin her and crush her bones. Eventually, Wen Xuehui chose to follow Jiang Yao to a poor village to mend her broken heart.

No matter how radiant and glorious Li Ronghui was in the students' hearts, in Jiang Yao's heart, Li Ronghui was no better than Zhao Zhuangzong.

Both of their hearts were like deep waters, and they were scumbags who were good at taking advantage of others.

Thinking of the young and vivacious Wen Xuehui, and recalling the sorrowful person before her rebirth, Jiang Yao vowed to herself that she would certainly not let Wen Xuehui drown herself into the imaginary happiness weaved out by that scumbag during her return this time.

So, the first step would be preventing Wen Xuehui from meeting Li Ronghui.

Wen Xuehui and Jiang Yao were walking and not long after, they saw a shop selling soup noodles. Wen Xuehui brought Jiang Yao into the shop while introducing, "This shop is the oldest one in the university. They use soup stock for the soup of the noodles and it is very fragrant. This shop's best seller would be their noodles, they're a specialty of the owner's hometown."

While they were talking, the owner saw both of them coming in. It was obviously the owner and Wen Xuehui knew each other quite well. When the owner saw Wen Xuehui, she greeted her, "Little girl is back!"

"Have you forgotten that I'm in my freshman year this year? I'm going to visit more often in the future!" Wen Xuehui smiled at the plump owner, then brought Jiang Yao to an empty space and ordered two bowls of noodles.

After they sat down, Jiang Yao looked around. Surprisingly and coincidentally, she saw her two other roommates, Li Yi and Lin Qiaoyu. They were both accompanied by their families and they were from the same hometown, so they had already known each other. They had a lot to talk about and chit-chatted excitedly when they were eating together. The whole shop was filled with their laughter and conversation.

But as they were speaking in their local dialect in their conversation, Jiang Yao did not understand what they were talking about.

Perhaps Jiang Yao and Wen Xuehui were too obvious. As freshmen, other freshmen would surely be curious about them as they greeted the owner in such a casual way.

That was why when Jiang Yao looked at them, they were coincidently observing Jiang Yao and Wen Xuehui.

Jiang Yao could not possibly greet them at this time, so she pretended that she did not see them. She lowered her head and talked to Wen Xuehui. Naturally, Wen Xuehui asked Jiang Yao about where her hometown was. When she knew it was just the neighbouring county which required only a few hours' journey, she smiled. "That's close by. If you miss home, you can return home during the weekends."

She had never thought about how boarding the train home required money as she had always been loaded since young. To Wen Xuehui, Jiang Yao did not seem straitened either.

"If you're not going back home this weekend, I can take you around Nanjiang City to admire our awesome scenery." Wen Xuehui was getting more and more excited. "We don't need to go to school on Saturdays, so you can stay at my house! Oh by the way, I have not told you that my dad is our university's vice-chancellor. Don't be too shocked if you come to my house."

Jiang Yao put on a surprised look on her face to amuse Wen Xuehui. She leaned on the table and laughed out loud. Jiang Yao felt a certain warmth within, as Wen Xuehui treated her like her buddy even though they had just met. That was why she was willing to tell her that she was the vice-chancellor's daughter.

The atmosphere between them was just nice. Suddenly, a figure appeared behind Jiang Yao.
