Chapter 49 Ugly Duckling's Rise to Power: She Squeezes Out the School Beauty and Becomes a Coup

Ye Xingchen was torn between throwing the box in her hand and keeping it, and stammered an explanation, "It was a gift from a friend. You know I don't like sweets!"

A moment later he realized he was talking nonsense to her!

Where are you going?

Ye Xingchen coughed awkwardly before asking the question. At this moment, Mu Wanwan had already lowered her head and hidden her face under her bangs.

"I'm asking you a question! Are you deaf or mute?!"

"Piggy, get out here right now!"

The pig appeared instantly, stretched, and said, "Master! What brings you here?"

"What kind of person is Ye Xingchen? How did he become the school heartthrob? He's so fierce!"

Piggy patted its round, bouncy head. "Ye Xingchen isn't a bad person, but he's always been unfriendly to his master. His sternness just now is just his normal persona, nothing out of character."

Mu Wanwan rolled her eyes at Zhuzhu and said a bunch of nonsense, none of which was useful.

Seeing that she still didn't speak, Ye Xingchen reached out and pushed Mu Wanwan. Mu Wanwan was pushed back several steps before she regained her balance. She then raised her hand to cover her shoulder and squatted down.

His hand froze in mid-air as he reflected on himself.

I didn't use much force. Looking at my hands and then at the person squatting down, I was filled with regret. Could it be that I really used too much force?

The spot where I pushed her shoulder was exactly where she was injured yesterday; no wonder it hurt so much.

He immediately stepped forward and squatted down to check, but Mu Wanwan pushed him away with a slap.

Her voice choked with sobs, a suppressed cry of being bullied, "Ye Xingchen, what are you doing! Where I go is none of your business! You big bad guy! I didn't come here on purpose to run into you, why did you push me!"

Her voice was soft as she accused Ye Xingchen, who stood there helplessly, unsure how to comfort her.

She was timid, but he always spoke to her like that, and he had never seen her cry before.

"Did you get hurt again?!"

He really wanted to slap himself; wasn't he just asking a question he already knew the answer to?

After a struggle with his mind, without saying a word, he reached out again and pulled her up from the ground in a half-pull, half-hug manner, saying, "I didn't mean to, I forgot you were injured."

After she stood up, he held her in his arms, still dripping wet.

A unique fragrance belonging to Mu Wanwan enveloped him, oh my god! It smells so good!

He stared at the person in his arms, but could only see the top of her head and her smooth, long hair.

Realizing he had lost his composure, Ye Xingchen looked away, his gaze wandering until it finally landed on the white roses blooming on her house's wall. Somewhat awkwardly, he stuffed the heart-shaped box into her arms.

"You like sweets, you can have this!"

After saying that, he let go of her and immediately turned around and ran home in a long stride.

Ye Xingchen ran up to the second floor as soon as she got home and secretly hid behind the bedroom curtains to look across the street.

Mu Wanwan stood there blankly, at a loss, staring at the chocolate box in her hands as if she were holding a royal decree.

Ye Xingchen guessed that Mu Wanwan must have been frightened by him just now, which is why she was stunned and couldn't come to her senses for a long time.

Looking back, he realized that he hadn't given her a gift since they started high school. This gift was probably the first one in seven years. He rubbed his hair in frustration, thinking that he was just using someone else's gift to present to her.

Never mind, I'll buy him a real gift myself next time I have the chance.

However, out of his sight, Mu Wanwan smiled slightly, hugged the chocolate, and turned to go home.

Mother Ye came out of the kitchen wearing an apron, carrying a thermos in her hand, and was about to go out.

"Mom, where are you going?"

As her son came downstairs, Mrs. Ye changed her shoes and said, "I noticed that Wanwan didn't go to school today. When I asked her parents, they said they weren't feeling well and had to take a week off. Your aunt and uncle are away on a business trip today and asked me to look after Wanwan. I'm worried about their maid, and she needs some nourishment when she's sick. So this afternoon I went to the supermarket myself to pick out some big bones and simmered them all afternoon to make bone broth. I'll bring it to her right away."

Ye Xingchen immediately ran to her side and, unusually, took the thermos. "I'll go!"

Watching her son's retreating figure, Ye's mother was completely baffled, looking at her departing son with some strangeness.

In the past, when I asked him to come to Wanwan's house for dinner, he would always give me a hard time and refuse no matter how much I tried to persuade him. Why is he so eager today? He even seems a little impatient.

"Master, if the school beauty found out that the chocolates she sent ended up in your hands, she'd be furious!"

Mu Wanwan lay on the bed, her legs bobbing up and down, looking quite relaxed!

"It's not like I asked for it or snatched it; he just gave it to me! It's like he forced me to buy it! So what if he finds out? I'm not afraid of him at all."

Today is Mu Wanwan's second day in this world, and she has already taken leave from school and is being uncooperative.

"Master, you're slacking off!"

Mu Wanwan sat up, unconvinced. "Taking sick leave is perfectly normal. Besides, I'm a rich girl now, I have the means to slack off."

Piggy sighed, completely bewildered by her intentions.

Suddenly, Piggy reminded Mu Wanwan, "Master, Ye Xingchen has gone upstairs!"

"What? How did he get here so easily! Didn't he even say hello?"

Piggy explained, "Master, you two are childhood sweethearts. Since you were little, you've had each other's fingerprints unlocking your homes. It's no different for him to go into your house than to go into his own."

Mu Wanwan was frantic and quickly took action.

Ye Xingchen quickly arrived at Mu Wanwan's room. He knocked on the door, but there was no response from inside.

His heart tightened instantly; hopefully nothing bad had happened.

He gently turned the doorknob and slowly pushed the door open. The lights in the room were on, and there was no one on the bed directly opposite the door. Soon his gaze fell on Mu Wanwan, who was sitting on the carpet in the corner.

She had changed into a cardigan, all the buttons undone, and let the cardigan slide down to her wrists, her back to Ye Xingchen.

In this situation, Ye Xingchen's blood began to boil and rush to his head, as if someone was guiding him to slowly approach her with a thermos.

Mu Wanwan was awkwardly applying medicine to the wound on her back with a cotton swab, but unfortunately her arm was too short to reach a large part of it.

Ye Xingchen placed the thermos on the table next to him. "I'll do it."

His voice was very soft and gentle, as if he were afraid of startling her, and then he sat down directly behind her.

Startled, Mu Wanwan cried out, forgetting to drop the cotton swab in her hand, and quickly pulled her clothes together to protect her privacy.

"You, how did you get here! Who let you in! Get out, get out!"

She had her back to him, kept her head down and refused to look at him, only protesting in a low voice that he should leave.

Ye Xingchen's cheeks were flushed and her mouth was dry. "I knocked on the door, but you didn't hear me. I thought something had happened to you, so I pushed the door open..."
