The two of them struggled to carry the packages back. This wasn't the first time Chu Rui had done something like this. The packages here were sent from Rose Star, and most of them were for Sister Lan to evaluate, write about improvements, or produce, so they had to be put together.

The items that came from other planets were all kinds of purchased ingredients. There was also another type, without encrypted source addresses, which were gifts that Lu Fangyao and Gu Chen sent to Sister Lan. The items in this category were quite varied.

Thinking back, the last time they sent me was a sand sculpture of a beautiful woman, which was also very... cute.

When Lu Yulan woke up, it was already dark. Looking up, the sky outside was a deep blue, with layers of blue like a richly colored oil painting. The artificial sunset, with a huge red blush, sank into the horizon.

For a moment, I felt as if I had fallen into an abyss of loneliness. I once saw a saying that you shouldn't sleep at 3:30 in the afternoon. This is probably because many people don't want to face the immense loneliness of waking up to an empty house.

Warm breaths sprayed rhythmically onto her skin from the back of her hand. Lu Yulan lowered her head and reached out her other hand, which was not being pressed down, to touch Xiaozhu's soft fur.

"Sister Lan, you're awake. Let's have dinner, and then we'll open our presents."

Chi Huo ran over with a look of surprise, and also brought Lu Yulan a cup of warm water that Chu Rui had prepared in advance.

"Okay, sure."

I got up and looked at the sky outside again. It wasn't that scary, was it?

Chu Rui cooked dinner; she simply steamed the half-cooked dishes again. They've all been very busy these past few days.

Chu Rui and Chi Huo need to prepare for the midterm exams. They joined halfway through the semester and missed a whole semester of training, so they naturally need to work even harder. They can't be dismissed after a whole semester, or they would make a fool of themselves.

So the meals were pre-prepared fast food, cooked by the uncle and sent over, because Lu Yulan was reviewing a lot of things, and sometimes the three of them weren't hungry at all.

Although Chu Rui and Chi Huo couldn't understand why Lu Yulan was doing these things, they still cooperated by giving their honest opinions.

Besides Chu Rui and his group being used as guinea pigs, Gu Chen and his group were also used.

"Wow, today's dishes are corn and pork rib soup and braised beef and potato rice. They smell so good!"

"kindness."

"Let's eat then."

Lu Yulan took the chopsticks, picked up a piece of pork rib and put it in her mouth. The faint aroma of corn permeated the rib soup, and even the rib itself carried the aroma of corn.

It's soft, chewy, and very delicious.

Just as they were eating, a figure darted in, grabbed Lu Yulan, and lifted her into the air, making a small circle.

"Little Lan'er, I did it! I did it!"

"Teacher Gu, please put Sister Lan down quickly, she looks like she's about to throw up."

After Chi Huo finished speaking, he saw Chu Rui standing in front of Gu Luobing, his expression indifferent, the small knife in his hand already drawn. "Put it down."

"Put her down, I'll put her down right away. Look how scared you've all been. What could I possibly do to Xiao Lan'er?" He said, carefully placing Lu Yulan back in her original position, like a fragile little vase.

"Isn't that right, Xiao Lan'er? Your older sister is so good to you."

"Yes, that's good."

If only you had used less force, it would have been fine; it hurt a little.

"Quickly, Xiao Lan'er, try my cooking! I've succeeded!"

As he spoke, he handed a bowl of soup to Lu Yulan.

Lu Yulan: ...

...Ugh, she felt like throwing up, her face showing utter despair, really.

"What's wrong? Are you pregnant?"
