Tang Yuanyuan came over with a smile, carrying a steaming basket of crabs, and placed it on the table. "Eat more, I'll bring you crab roe soup dumplings tomorrow morning. My dad made them himself, I guarantee your tongues will fall off."

Ruan Yingzi cheered, "I want twenty! Delicious glutinous rice balls, I love you to death!"

“There’s plenty. I’ll bring more tomorrow, and you can share some with Hua Xiaolou,” Tang Yuanyuan said with a smile.

Ye Qingqing felt a chill run down her spine and asked curiously, "Yuanyuan, when did you and Hua Xiaolou become so close?"

It was just one meal at her house, how could Tang Yuanyuan be so familiar with Hua Xiaolou?

"It wasn't particularly good. I just bumped into him a few times at school and chatted with him for a while. Hua Xiaolou is quite pitiful. When I see him, I think of my past self. But at least I can still eat my fill and I don't wear patched clothes."

Tang Yuanyuan looked at him with pity. She really sympathized with Hua Xiaolou. He didn't eat well, wasn't dressed warmly, and had such a serious congenital disease. God was too cruel to this boy.

It gave him unparalleled beauty, but took away so much more from him.

"You should stay away from Hua Xiaolou from now on. She's not a simple person, do you hear me?" Ye Qingqing warned.

She has the ability to protect herself, so she's not afraid even if Hua Xiaolou isn't a good person. But Tang Yuanyuan is different; Ye Qingqing is afraid something will happen to this silly girl.

Tang Yuanyuan was taken aback. "How come Hua Xiaolou isn't innocent anymore?"

How could she not think that Hua Xiaolou was a silly and easily embarrassed person, more harmless than a little white rabbit, so how did he become a bad person?

and--

"Qingqing, didn't you say Hua Xiaolou was pitiful before?"

Ye Qingqing felt a little regretful. She shouldn't have brought Hua Xiaolou home for dinner, since there was no direct evidence now.

"I didn't understand before, but listen to me, don't associate with Hua Xiaolou anymore. Don't you believe me?" Ye Qingqing deliberately emphasized her tone.

Tang Yuanyuan shook her head vigorously, "Of course not, Qingqing, I believe everything you say. I just won't associate with you anymore, please don't be angry!"

Qingqing is her best friend and the person she trusts the most. How could she upset Qingqing? It was so wrong of her!

Although she sympathized with Hua Xiaolou, in Tang Yuanyuan's heart, a hundred Hua Xiaolous couldn't compare to one Ye Qingqing. Tang Yuanyuan decisively chose her friend and gave up on Hua Xiaolou.

Ye Qingqing was relieved. "I'm not angry. I'll be able to find out the truth in a while. If Hua Xiaolou is really alright, you can still be friends with him."

"Yes, let's eat the crab quickly, it won't taste good when it gets cold."

Tang Yuanyuan handed the biggest one to Ye Qingqing, and breathed a sigh of relief. She felt that Hua Xiaolou would definitely be fine, and she could continue to help Hua Xiaolou in the future!

After a satisfying meal at Baiweiju, Ye Qingqing and Ruan Yingzi returned to their dormitory, bringing back a few crabs for their roommates—at Tang Yuanyuan's request, just like her father's style.

Food connects people from all over the world.

Tang Yuanyuan is now the most popular person in her department, without a doubt. Whether it's male or female students or teachers, everyone has a great liking for her because this girl brings lots of delicious food to school every day, and everyone gets a share.

If Tang Yuanyuan is too busy to take care of her, her father will send his apprentice to deliver the soup to her door. The most outrageous thing is that during the hot autumn season, worried that his daughter would suffer from heatstroke, her father would have his apprentice deliver a big pot of chilled mung bean soup to her every day, which would be shared with her teachers and classmates.

Who wouldn't like such a wonderful father, such wonderful classmates and students?

Tang Yuanyuan has transformed from a bullied little dumpling into someone loved by everyone, and she is also a rare example of someone who is popular with both men and women.

Therefore, having tasted the sweetness of delicious food, Tangyuan also provided Ye Qingqing with various delicacies.

Ye Qingqing placed the crab on the table, and her phone rang. It was an unknown number, but the caller was an acquaintance—Ye Susu.
