The Silver Hamster’s Daily Life

T/N: Some information in chapter 9 has been changed.

Ruan Yingyin took a taxi directly back to school.

Jiang Xingyuan’s family was full with broken things, even now that he is reborn, but many things still hadn’t changed.

This is also the same for Jiang Xingyuan’s family. Jiang Xingyuan had planned many things and no one can hold him back from succeeding, Ruan Yingyin knew that.

In the book, he waited till high school graduation before kidnapping ‘Ruan Yingyin’ and holding her captive.

Thinking of this, Ruan Yingyin was very grateful to the middle-aged man and woman who just arrived in time. She silently prayed in her heart and hope that they could resist Jiang Xingyuan’s counterattack.

If there was a chance, maybe she could even give them a heads up. But that pair of men and women were no better than Jiang Xingyuan. She had better stay away from them.

Because of Jiang Xingyuan’s involvement in her daily life, Ruan Yingyin felt a headache forming already.

She went back to the dormitory, took a bath and quickly cleaned herself up before changing into her pajamas and coming out.

Ruan Yingyin wore Mickey Mouse style pyjamas, she slipped on her Mickey Mouse slippers, took out some snacks from the hole where the snacks were hidden in the room, and sat on the bed while turning on her phone.

She first checked the sales of her first beauty products. Today, two more customers ordered a bottle each, the delivery address was out of the province, they must have seen it at the Amway forum and bought it.

And the students of Qinzhong, except for her Yang Tong who sits before her, no one bought any.

She thought about it and checked the information of the buyer while biting into her lollipop.

She had just sent the item after school, but the places of receipt and delivery were all in the same city, and she also used the fastest delivery express.

So now in a few hours, there should be a confirmation email. According to the speed of the delivery, Yang Tong should receive the delivery by tomorrow morning.

Ruan Yingyin was a little happy.

The market in Qinzhong has to be opened for her by Yang Tongh.

The students in Qinzhong are the sons and daughters of nobles and are super rich. If she successfully opens the market in Qinzhong, she won’t be short of money and she can also sell her products at a high price.

No one knows this, but it’s not easy to beautify 30 bottles of water every day.

Ruan Yingyin often feels choked up when she sleeps.

It’s not easy to make money, Ruan Yingyin left the page and intended to watch a live video of a pet blogger.

Just at that moment, a phone call came.

It was Ruan Xudong, her father. She felt torn between two, she wanted to watch the live pet show but Ruan Xudong was her financial support for now. He still gives her tens of thousands of living expenses every month, so she had no choice but to pause the video and answer.

“Yin Yin.” A girl’s laughing voice could be heard from the side of Ruan Xudong, Ruan Yingyin thought it must be Yang Qingwei, “tomorrow is Friday, after school, come home with Qingwei. Aunt Yang would prepare dinner for you. Bring a few sets of clothes to live at home this weekend. Don’t forget. ”

Students living in the school dormitory Qinzhong are only allowed with parental consent.

If she refuses Ruan Xudong now, Ruan Xudong might take her only place to stay and make her homeless.

In order to be able to stay at the school, Ruan Yingyin agreed on Ruan Xudong’s words and said that she would go home on weekends. Although she was reluctant, she was after all a good natured silver hamster, so she replied obediently, “Yes, Dad.”

“Then rest early, I’m hanging up.”

“Well, goodbye Dad.” Ruan Yingyin put down the phone, got up and simply packed a few clothes and put them in the bag.

Then she went to the bathroom, brushed her teeth, laid down on the bed, and closed her eyes to sleep.

The next day was Friday, the sun was shining brightly, the morning air was fresh, and the birds were chirping.

Yang Tong had a good night of sleep, so his* mood was very good. Humming a song happily, he got down from the car and waved his hand to his mom who was sitting inside before carrying his school bag and entering the school.

[T/N: I was a little confused if the person named ‘Yang Tong’ was a boy or a girl previously. The MTL is pretty confusing about gender, the pronoun ‘She’ was used the previous chapter but now ‘He’ is being used. His interactions with his classmates were also vague so I couldn’t pinpoint his gender. From now on, I will think of him as a ‘He’.]

At the entrance of the school, he met Cheng Yang and Wei Xiangsong.

These two people are Jiang Xingyuan’s people, both of their family conditions are very bad. It is known around that their families were so poor that they couldn’t even afford to study.

It was unknown how Jiang Xingyuan knew them, but he used some means to bring these two people into Qinzhong to study.

But since they barely went to school, their results were really poor. Their family conditions were even worse, both of their results weren’t outstanding, so naturally, they were placed at class 12, the lowest class.

Wei Xiangsong was very smart, a few months later, his results caught up with other average students.

But Cheng Yang only knew how to move his limbs and was very simple minded. He was already a sophomore but his result was like hanging at the tail of a fox, barely holding.

Yang Tong and Cheng Yang were of the same personality, they both love to play soccer and basketball. They met at the basketball court and soccer field a few times, and then slowly became familiar with each other.

Cheng Yang looked at Yang Tong’s dark face and said “Brother Tong, why do I feel like your face got darker?”

When Yang Tong was a first year, he had a crush on a girl and chased her for a while. But because he kept it a secret, no one knows about it. The girl rejected him directly, and the reason was his dark face.

From then on, Yang Tong always paid extra attention to his skin color.

But his habits couldn’t be changed, he couldn’t stop playing basketball or soccer. All he could do to maintain his skin from turning darker was either using sunscreen before going out and a mask after returning home.

But the effect was very less. Yang Tong, after all, is a boy of teenage age. He sweats a lot, so those sunscreen and masks had no effect on him nor could they save his skin.

Yang Tong was still very persistent and concerned about his skin color. Everyday, before he leaves home, he would stand in front of his mirror for half an hour to see if he has gotten a little whiter.

However, the fact that he was still dark could never be wiped clean.

So the students who were close to him liked to tease him about this.

Yang Tong made a crumpled face, “Then get away from me. At least I’m not as black as you.”

Cheng Yang grinned and rubbed his head, “I look better than you. Even if my skin is dark, I get love letters from girls everyday.”

Yang Tong cursed Cheng Yang a few times then suddenly remembered the package that came this morning.

To be honest, he wanted to refuse the package carrying the bottle of that cheap 88 yuan skin care product. If the price were 88888 yuan, he wouldn’t have hesitated so much.

But a skinny camel is still better than a horse*. His skin is very thick and dark anyway, nothing should happen to him.

[T/N: This proverb may mean ‘Something is better than nothing’.]

With that little bit of confidence, Yang Tong went to the mailroom and took that little package out.

He didn’t dare to open it in public, many students saw and talked about it in the school forum, what if someone recognised it?

Then he will become the joke of the year!

So Yang Tong went to the bathroom, entered a cubicle before sitting on the toilet and opening the package.

Inside the package was a small glass bottle, the glass bottle was filled with crystal clear liquid. The liquid was very white but thick and looked beautiful.

Like watery jellies.

The packaging was done very simply, holding the bottle in hand, he thought it was extraordinarily delicate.

He placed an order for this 88 yuan skin beautifying water with the attitude of trying it out.

Let’s buy and see. If I don’t like it, will just throw it away. Anyway, it’s only 88 yuan.

But now seeing the clear liquid inside, a faint hope rose in his heart.

He couldn’t wait to try, unscrewing the cap, he poured some in his hand.

The feeling of holding the liquid on the palm of the hand was comfortable, when the jell like things fell on his palm, he felt as if the skin of his hand became alive and breathing.

Without hesitation, Yang Tong simply rubbed the water on his face, then carefully stored the rest into his bag.

After applying it, Yang Tong took out a small mirror and carefully looked at his face.

Maybe it was his psychological reaction, he felt that he did become a little bit whiter.

Yang Tong was satisfied with the result, putting away the small mirror, he pushed open the door of the cubicle and walked out.

Just as he came outside, he met his deskmate Lin Meng.

Lin Meng immediately began to scold him, “Yang Tong, I told you not to wash your hands in the toilet.”

Yang Tong said with a disgusting face, “I didn’t wash my hands, just flushed the toilet.”

“Damn, your constipation wasn’t cured?”

“Damn your constipation, your whole family has constipation.” Yang Tong cursed before suddenly rememberring something and asked, “Tell me something honestly, do you think I turned whiter?”

“Not only you have constipation, you also have the nerve to ask something never happening early in the morning. Let me tell you honestly, if you ever turn white, I will write my name backwards.”

Yang Tong didn’t believe his nonsense and went to the classroom and asked several of his classmates.

A pair of girls sat in front of him. It was Li Tong and Cui Qinyan whom Ruan Yingyin met previously at the cafeteria. But because Jiang Xingyuan scared them away, they never took initiative to talk to her again.

Li Tong didn’t even look at him and replied, “not white.”

Cui Qinyan looked carefully at him, looking Yang Tong waiting for her opinion with an expectant face, she couldn’t say the truth and nodded, “seems to be a little white.”

Yang Tong replied happily, “I knew it would work.”

In the back, Ruan Yingyin, who was reading a book with her head down, looked up at Yang Tong.

Seeing Yang Tong with an ecstatic look, he must have already picked up the package and used it. It seems he is very satisfied with her product.

Of course, no one who has tried her skin beautifying water was ever dissatisfied, and all of them have become repeat customers.

The way Ruan Yingyin looked at Yang Tong, it was as if she was looking at her money tree.

Yang Tong, feeling Ruan Yingyin’s ardent gaze, looked at her and was momentarily frightened. He glanced at Jiang Xingyuan’s table with a bit of fear.

But the table was empty, he still hadn’t arrived yet.

So he boldly asked, “Why are you looking at me like that?”

Ruan Yingyin gave him a sweet smile, “I think your skin is much smoother today than it was yesterday, and it’s a little whiter. What beauty products are you using? Can you introduce them to me?”

Yang Tong was originally happy hearing the first half of the sentence of Ruan Yingyin, he even thought that not only Ruan Yingyin was beautiful, even her heart was beautiful.

But hearing the second half of Ruan Yingyin’s sentence, his heart instantly panicked. The news that he bought a beauty product with only 88 yuan absolutely can’t be known by anyone. If his classmates found it, he would be dead in embarrassment.

So Yang Tong replied vaguely, “From nowhere, it’s my mother’s.”

Lin Meng at that time came back from the toilet, sniffed the air and said, “you are using your mother’s skin care products and still hoping to be white, does your mother know? You ah, really, still not giving up.”

Yang Tong gave him a stink eye, “I dare you to say more.”

Ruan Yingyin slightly lowered her eyes, and smiled kindly, “I thought it was the Silver Hamster branded beauty products in the school forum.”

Yang Tong replied with a fierce attitude “how is it possible? How can I use such a cheap thing?”

Lin Meng said doubtfully, “You look like you did.”

Li Tong turned around and also asked “You bought it?”

Lin Meng asked again, “You didn’t really buy it, did you?”

Yang Tong subconsciously shielded his school bag while still denying and acting tough, “buy your head, 88 yuan isn’t even considered any amount to me ah.”

Lin Meng and Li Tong glanced at each other, and suddenly Lin Meng rushed towards Yang Tong’s schoolbag.

When Yang Tong dodged in panic, Li Tong from the other side snatched the bag from him.

He immediately opened the chain and roared in mid-air seeing the thing they doubted would be in his bag, “Oh my God, Yang Tong really bought the beauty product of 88 yuan!”

The other students became attracted to the mess and gathered around Yang Tong’s table.

Not long after, the bag was thrown away, the beauty product of Ruan Yingyin’s Silver Hamster branded skincare product appeared in the eyes of the crowd.

Ruan Yingyin silently sat at the back, lowering her head, she pretended to seriously read a book while straining her ears to hear the crowd.

The students of class all looked at the bottle of skincare product with awe in their eyes.

“This is really the beauty product sold at 88 yuan. It doesn’t look half bad.”

“Yeah, it looks so exquisite.”

“It doesn’t seem to have that kind of bad skin care smell either.”

“It feels good to touch, wow.”

“Shit! Just try it, don’t pour so much, I just got it today.”

“Yang Tong, don’t be stingy, it’s only 88 yuan, I will transfer double the amount to you.”

“Is that a matter of money?”

“Yang Tong, did you just rub your face with it? How do you feel? Does it itch? Do you feel uncomfortable?”

“Forget it, I’ll go buy a bottle and see. It’s just 88 yuan, anyway. No big deal, let’s buy and apply it myself.”

Saying that, everyone took out their phones to buy the beauty product. However, after opening the school forum, they all found one thing, the Silver Hamster branded beauty water was no longer in stock.

Ruan Yingyin froze for a moment, she got up in the morning and checked before coming to school, she clearly saw 25 bottles were left ah.

She glanced to her side, seeing Jiang Xingyuan hadn’t come yet, she pulled out her newly bought phone from her school bag, nestled in the drawer and opened the forum to have a look.

Then, she found that the remaining 25 bottles were all bought by Yang Tong just eight minutes ago.

Ruan Yingyin ten fingertips flew on the keyboard as she typed first and refilled the empty slots with 30 more bottles. But she learnt from her previous mistake and set the price at 888 yuan this time, not 88 yuan.

The 88 yuan discount on Silver Hamster branded whitening and skin softener on the first batch has ended. Now, this batch of products will be sold for 888 yuan. Hurry up and order it lest it increases again. The original price is 888888 yuan, the discount will continue for the starting period. Seize the opportunity before you lose it~

Just as she posted the new announcement, the students at the front began to discuss.

“It actually went up to 888 yuan this time.”

“That seller said the original price is 888888 yuan, who knows if it’s true or not.”

“No matter what, let’s buy it for 888 yuan first. It’s still very cheap, anyway, not expensive at all. If it’s really useful, I’m willing to spend 88888888 yuan.”

“Oh no, who the hell is this fast! Buying all 30 bottles so quickly!”

“”

The corner of Ruan Yingyin’s mouth couldn’t be controlled and raised up, but it was silently suppressed by her.

She should be low-key while doing business.
