Chapter 3: The Prince's Murder Plan Section 4
Although the salary was not high, it was definitely enough for her to eat, and the working hours were after school. She immediately felt that this part-time job was quite suitable, so she noted the interview time and went to class happily with Bi Feifei.
Not long after she left, the silver-haired boy who was reading a book in the corridor not far away stood up and walked towards where He Wei had just stood. The girls passing by couldn't help but whispered excitedly: "It's Aaron! Wow, he's so handsome!"
He was unmoved and still had a cold face. He raised his head to look at the announcement that He Wei had seen, glanced at the interview time, and then left without saying a word.
At the same time, Prince Zhuo Fei happily opened the door of his single dormitory.
Uncle Zhou, the housekeeper, had been standing respectfully in front of the table filled with food. When he heard the door open, he immediately bowed to him and said, "Welcome, dear lady—eh?"
He looked up and found that the prince had returned alone. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "My dear prince, where is Miss He?" Did something go wrong? The prince's EQ was too low, so his plan to invite Miss He to breakfast failed? !
Zhuo Fei, however, fell directly onto the bed with a smile as bright as a sunflower, picked up the rag doll with his name on it from the bedside, and said, "I took her to the canteen to eat."
"Canteen?! But the food there is not only unnutritious, but also unhygienic..." The housekeeper immediately said with concern and worry.
"I know that, but she wants to eat it, what can I do?" Zhuo Fei said as he fiddled with the rag doll in his hand, happy like a big boy.
Seeing how happy he was, the housekeeper felt embarrassed turned to walk towards the door: "Then please have a good rest. Next time if there is a chance, I still hope you can invite the girl you like to come here and taste my cooking in person."
Zhuo Fei immediately looked up and glanced at him: "Hey, what are you talking about? It's obvious that she likes me! Look, this is a rag doll she made in my image. Maybe she even sleeps with it every day! Alas, but her craftsmanship is too poor. It doesn't look like me at all... Forget it, since she likes me so much, I'll forgive her."
The butler's mouth twitched. Ever since the prince came back from the "monthly special training", he would hold the doll and nag for a long time every day. His ears were almost calloused from hearing those words. Although Miss He did seem to be interested in the prince by making a doll, but... but what's with the needles stuck in the doll! It's almost full! Does this really mean that Miss He likes the prince?
But seeing how happy the prince was, the butler didn't know what to say. He could only watch as the prince held the rag doll covered with silver needles in his arms, sighed, closed the door and went out.
He Wei got a job as a part-time librarian in the library very smoothly. The job was actually very simple, which was to reorganize the books that students put in the carts after reading them, and then put them back on the bookshelf in different categories. The working hours were also very flexible, and He Wei could choose to work during the weekdays when she didn't have classes. Although she could only get five dinosaur coins per hour, it was enough for her to eat and spend on daily expenses.
Her mood finally brightened up, and she gradually began to adapt to life in this world. After waking up from her nap at noon, she excitedly headed to the library to start her first day of part-time work in this world.
Maybe because it was noon, there weren't many people in the library. After signing in at the front desk, He Wei asked casually, "Excuse me, am I the only one on duty this afternoon?"
The aunt at the front desk shook her head, pointed behind her and said, "There's another handsome guy packing books over there."
He Wei looked in the direction she pointed, and saw a silver figure moving quickly between the stacked bookshelves.
He Wei blinked, looked at the other person's smooth silver hair, and couldn't help but say "No way" while sneaking towards the boy -
At this moment, the silver figure suddenly turned around and it was Aaron. He Wei was startled by his sudden action and her face flushed. Just as she was about to explain, she heard Cheng Aaron say in a calm voice: "Hello, classmate He."
"Uh, hello." He Wei was a little embarrassed, scratched her face, and asked, "Are you...are you here to be a librarian too?"
Aaron nodded. He Wei couldn't help but feel a little strange. Normally, this kind of part-time job would only be done by people like her who have difficulties in life. Didn't Bi Feifei say that Aaron's father was an important official of the empire? People like him shouldn't be short of money, right? However, maybe he just wants to come here to exercise ?
"Student He." Aaron's voice called back He Wei's attention. She waved her hands and said a little embarrassedly, "Well, you...just call me He Wei. Student He or something like that sounds a little too polite."
Aaron blinked his beautiful silver-blue eyes, tried to move his lips, and finally uttered a few words with difficulty after a long time: "He Wei...classmate."
Ugh! Why do you have to add classmates? He Wei shook her head helplessly and let him go: "Okay, okay, what do you want me to do?"
"Well, I want to ask how your article "The Effect of Hair Color and Toughness on the Fighting Power of Dinosaurs" is going?"
Good God! How could he still remember such a thing?
He Wei couldn't help but twitch her lips: "Uh, I ... I'm still looking for information."
"That's great." Aaron immediately said enthusiastically, "I've found some for you, see if you can use them." After that, he moved a stack of books from the cart next to him, which was more than half a meter high, and they were all scientific literature! He Wei almost vomited blood, but she could only force herself to be calm: "Thank you, I will refer to it."
"After we finish our work this afternoon, I can work with you on how to write that paper," Aaron suggested.
He Wei's legs softened, and she almost fell headfirst onto the pile of books - Aaron, what on earth is the reason for your persistence and seriousness! I knew I made up the title of that paper just by looking at it! How could I really write it?
With guilt and worry, He Wei finished the first day's work listlessly. At around four o'clock in the afternoon, both of them were free. Aaron immediately brought the pile of books and spread them in front of He Wei, then sat next to her and said, "Then let's study it--"
"Bang!" Before he finished speaking, He Wei suddenly hit her head hard on the table. Aaron was stunned for a moment, and quickly reached out to help her: "He Wei, what's wrong with you?"
He Wei raised her head and looked at him with empty eyes: "Actually... I... lied... to you..."
"Huh? What do you mean?" The naive Aaron didn't understand what she meant.
He Wei simply blurted out everything in one breath: "Actually, that day my roommate and I wanted to pull out a strand of your hair to take home for collection, but as soon as I stretched out my hand, you turned your head away. I was nervous for a moment and made up an excuse to evade you, but who knew you actually took it seriously!"
Aaron was stunned for a while before he spoke: "So... you didn't plan to write this paper?"
He Wei nodded to him with a bitter face, and she couldn't help feeling despair in her heart. It was terrible. Aaron would definitely hate her this time!
Thinking of this, He Wei couldn't stay in front of Aaron any longer, so she stood up and was about to say that she had something else to do and left first, but Aaron spoke before her: "Wait."
He Wei said dejectedly: "You can beat me or scold me as you like..."
"No...why do you want to collect my hair?" Aaron tilted his head slightly and looked at He Wei with a confused expression.
"Uh..." He Wei didn't expect him to ask this, scratching her head, "It's just... it's just collecting. Don't you know? Girls are secretly collecting things about you, such as the papers that fell out of your notebook, the chopsticks you used when eating... Oh, by the way, last time they were vying to buy the ballpoint pen you used up!"
Aaron finally reacted and acted as if he had suddenly realized something: "No wonder my things always disappear inexplicably..."
"Pfft——" He Wei couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. This guy, with his cute and silly expression, doesn't match his icy appearance at all!
Hearing He Wei's laughter, Aaron couldn't help but look up at her, his silver-blue eyes full of seriousness: "Student He Wei."
"Hmm? Uh, well, I told you not to call me that."
Aaron nodded: "I try my best. My father taught me to be civilized and polite since I was a child...so I am not used to calling people by their names directly."
"Pfft——" He Wei couldn't help laughing again. How could this guy be so cute when he said seriously that he wanted to be "civilized and polite"!
Aaron couldn't help but look at her again: "The way you smile——"
"Oh, sorry, sorry, I didn't mean it." He Wei apologized quickly and rubbed her face, "Hey, I won't laugh anymore."
"No..." Aaron said, "I just want to say that you look beautiful when you smile."
"Oh, so that's it—ah? What did you say?!" He Wei was startled, thinking she had heard it wrong.
Aaron immediately repeated with understanding: "I said you look beautiful when you smile."
As soon as he finished speaking, the hearts of the girls who were hiding in the corner of the library and eavesdropping were instantly broken: Woohoo, their beloved Aaron, what on earth did He Wei deserve to let Aaron say such words to her! Is Aaron interested in her? !
He Wei's jaw also fell to the ground and broke. She opened her mouth wide: "You...you are kidding me..."
"I never joke. My father taught me to tell the truth since I was young, so I was praising you sincerely just now."
But, is there anyone who praises a girl for her beautiful smile in front of her like you? People who don't know will think you are confessing to me, okay! He Wei helplessly held her forehead: "Okay, I understand, uh - thank you, um, it's almost time for dinner, I'm going to eat first, bye."
"Really? Time flies so fast..." Aaron looked up at the clock on the wall, then stood up with He Wei and asked sincerely, "I'm a little hungry too, He Wei, do you mind if I eat with you?"
