DLSRWAR Chapter 10 I must have mistaken you for her.

After Qin Yumian reported Ye Hancheng’s size to the class monitor and handed over the money, she returned to her seat and continued reading.

A short while later, Deng Yuanze and Big Fatty walked in, arms full of snacks.

Big Fatty called out, “Brother Han is treating everyone to snacks. Please take care of him from now on.”

Someone asked, “Who’s Brother Han?”

While distributing snacks, Deng Yuanze replied, “He’s our new transfer student, Ye Hancheng—Brother Han.”

As the saying goes, it’s hard to criticize someone when you’ve accepted their food.

Those who received snacks turned to look at the young man sitting near the back door. One mischievous classmate grinned and said, “Thanks, Brother Han.”

Ye Hancheng waved his hand casually, keeping a low profile despite his good deed.

Deng Yuanze and Big Fatty continued to distribute the snacks, moving from seat to seat. Ye Hancheng stood up, walked over to Deng Yuanze, and took a bottle of milk and a box of candy from the plastic bag.

Seeing that he only grabbed two items, Deng Yuanze raised his chin and suggested, “Brother Han, take a bit more. There’s still plenty with Big Fatty.”

“No need, this is enough.” Ye Hancheng replied before heading off—not back to his seat, but towards Qin Yumian.

He tapped on her desk. “Classmate, switch seats.”

Hao Jiajia looked up, puzzled. “Huh?”

“I need to talk to the sports rep,” Ye Hancheng said, pulling out a hundred-yuan banknote from his pocket. “So, can we switch seats?”

Hao Jiajia stared at the large banknote he casually pulled out, momentarily stunned. When she snapped back to reality, she hurriedly gathered her things and stood up. “Sure, sure, sure.”

After shooting Qin Yumian a wink, Hao Jiajia quickly left.

As she left, she didn’t forget to take the red banknote Ye Hancheng had “bribed” her with.

Qin Yumian: “…”

Ye Hancheng took his time sitting down and then pushed the milk and candy towards Qin Yumian. “They don’t have the brands you like here, so you’ll have to make do with these for now.”

As he spoke, he deftly unscrewed the milk bottle’s cap and inserted a straw with familiar movements.

Qin Yumian’s gaze held a hint of confusion as she looked at the young man. “What brand of milk do I like to drink?”

Ye Hancheng answered naturally, “You like Dutch whole milk, organic of course, and German-imported whole milk. But your favorite is the fresh milk from Uncle Gu’s farm.”

How could he not know his wife’s preferences?

Qin Yumian picked up the milk on the desk, took a sip through the straw, and said quietly, “This is my first time drinking milk.”

The proud expression on Ye Hancheng’s face froze instantly. Meeting the girl’s inquisitive gaze, he forced a calm explanation, “You look a lot like my little sister. I must have mistaken you for her just now.”

Back when they first got married, he did treat her like a little sister, so it wasn’t entirely untrue.

Qin Yumian glanced at him before lowering her eyes and responding softly, “Oh.”

It was hard to tell if she believed him or not.

Seeing that she didn’t press further, Ye Hancheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly changed the subject. “Do you want some candy?”

Qin Yumian nodded, “Mm.”

Ye Hancheng took a shining candy from the box, unwrapped it, and held it to her lips. “Open your mouth.”

Qin Yumian glanced up at him briefly before obediently lowering her head and biting into the candy.

Propping his head on one hand, Ye Hancheng watched her and asked, “Is it sweet?”

Qin Yumian pursed her lips, the corners of her eyes lifting slightly as she gave a soft, sweet smile. “Mm, it’s quite sweet.”

Seeing his wife smile, Ye Hancheng felt his heart take another hit, his fingers unconsciously rubbing the candy wrapper as he whispered, “It really is sweet.”

Sweet enough to reach his heart.

From the back left, Hao Jiajia munched on snacks while observing the two in front of her.

“Why do I feel like the sports rep and the new transfer student are surrounded by pink bubbles?”

Zhao Qian turned and glared at her. “And you? He asked to switch seats, and you just did?”

Hao Jiajia shrank back, muttering under her breath, “I couldn’t resist the temptation of money.”

Zhao Qian was frustrated, his expression sour as he stared at the two in the third row by the window. “What’s up with this transfer student? Does he know the sports rep?”

“I have no idea,” Hao Jiajia shook her head, “but I think his intentions are pretty obvious.”

Zhao Qian asked, “What intentions?”

Hao Jiajia responded with absolute certainty, “He wants to pursue the sports rep!”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qian’s face immediately darkened.

Seeing that the young man still hadn’t left, Qin Yumian hinted, “Class is about to start.”

Ye Hancheng stared unblinkingly at the girl’s beautiful and delicate face before suddenly asking, “How old are you this year?”

“Seventeen.”

“Then I’m a year older than you. I’m eighteen, born on May 27th. You can call me ‘big brother’.”

In truth, he preferred it more when his wife called him ‘husband’.

But since they weren’t married yet, he had to settle for ‘big brother’.

Qin Yumian: “…”

After finishing her milk, Qin Yumian reminded him once more, “Class is starting soon.”

You can really leave now.

“It seems so,” Ye Hancheng glanced at his watch, then said, “Can I share your book? I don’t have a textbook.”

Qin Yumian: “?”

So, he intended to sit with her the entire time?

She turned her head towards Hao Jiajia’s direction, but the girl was engrossed in a conversation with another female classmate, completely neglecting her own deskmate.

“Wi—” Ye Hancheng nearly let slip the word ‘wife’, but quickly swallowed the end of it and corrected himself. “I heard your grades are pretty good. Can you help tutor me?”

His wife was going to attend the prestigious Tsinghua-Peking Central Academy of Fine Arts in the future, so he figured he needed to at least aim for Tsinghua-Peking University as well. That way, they wouldn’t have to be in a long-distance relationship.

Qin Yumian blinked in surprise. “You want me to tutor you?”

Did he not find out what her grades were like?

“That’s right,” Ye Hancheng replied, not seeing any issue with his request. Considering that his wife seemed rather poor at the moment, he added, “I can pay a tutoring fee—how about 100,000 yuan per month?”

Qin Yumian: “…”

If she recalled correctly, outside tutoring classes usually charged only a couple thousand yuan at most per month, yet the young man had casually mentioned a 100,000, as if the bank belonged to his family. 

This indirectly confirmed that the young man’s family wasn’t just wealthy—they were exceptionally so.

Qin Yumian lowered her gaze and softly responded, “With my grades, I’m not qualified to tutor you, but I can recommend someone else.”

Ye Hancheng stubbornly insisted, “I don’t want anyone else, I just want you.”

Qin Yumian: …What a domineering declaration, classmate. Should I give you a round of applause?

Ye Hancheng lowered his long, thick eyelashes, looking rather pitiful as he said, “I’m new here, and you’re the only person I know.”

Speaking of this, Qin Yumian was puzzled, “Why did you transfer to our school?”

He had once mentioned that he was from the capital, where land was as valuable as gold, and the education level was far superior to theirs. Yet, instead of staying in such a prime location, he chose to come to this small county town for school. It was hard not to find that strange.
