Three people

I was watching the game so much that I almost forgot about her mother. So I quickly answered the phone.

"Feifei, I'm almost there. Are you in your dorm now?"

"I'm on my way, I'll be there soon!"

Xu Feifei hung up the phone and looked at him apologetically, "I'm afraid I can't. My mom is coming to see me now, so I have to go!"

Zhang Jiayi said disappointedly, "Fine, then you should go back now!"

"Okay. Do your best in the game, I'll come watch you play again tomorrow!" Xu Feifei said and quickly left the court, heading towards the dormitory.

She had just arrived at the dormitory gate when Gao Lan arrived at the same time. She was wearing a smart, dark blue business suit, her hair was up, and her demeanor was quite different from before.

"Mom, did you just get off work and rush over here?"

"Hmm, I'd like to see where you're staying. Otherwise, I won't feel at ease!" The moment her mother saw her, her eyes and demeanor softened.

"Let's go then, I'll show you the dorm!" Xu Feifei walked ahead and led the way.

"Let's eat first. You haven't eaten yet, have you?"

"I'm not too hungry right now, let's go to my dorm first! We're already at the dorm entrance, and the restaurants here are too far away!" Xu Feifei shook her head and said. Going to the restaurant now would be a waste of time, and it would be too far to come back later.

"That's okay too!"

After seeing the dormitory, Gao Lan's eyes welled up with tears. She felt sorry for Xu Feifei. The dormitory was so small, it felt like there wasn't enough room to stretch out her legs, and she couldn't help but feel deeply worried.

"Are you really going to live here? Won't you be uncomfortable? Besides, the dorm is so small, you can barely stretch your legs! And..."

Xu Feifei felt that her worries were unnecessary. This was nothing? The dormitory in high school was a pigsty, with eight people living in a small room! There were even ten or twelve people.

"Yes! I think this place is great, it has everything!"

"Feifei, what about Lin Yuan, whom you mentioned before? Invite her to come over for a meal, so I can get to know her."

"She had something to do today and took the day off. Maybe next time!"

Gao Lan sighed and said, "That's such a shame!"

The two walked out of the dormitory. Gao Lan kept nagging, talking about how tough the dormitory was and how they would manage without anyone to take care of them. Suddenly, she stopped and called out from a short distance ahead, "Xiao Ye!"

Xu Feifei also saw it; the person in front was actually Nangong Ye!

Nangong Ye turned around and walked over. Reaching Gao Lan's side, he politely greeted, "Aunt Lan!"

Gao Lan was delighted to see Nangong Ye and asked, "Have you eaten?"

"not yet."

Seeing that he hadn't eaten yet, Gao Lan readily invited him, "That's perfect, let's go eat together!"

Nangong Ye looked hesitant upon hearing her invitation.

Gao Lan noticed his expression, but pretended not to see it and continued, "What's wrong? Are you embarrassed?"

"No! Let me treat you!" Nangong forced a smile and gestured for them to go to the front.

Gao Lan didn't mind walking ahead of him, arm in arm with Xu Feifei. She knew Nangong Ye didn't like Feifei. But there was nothing she could do; Feifei liked him!

Besides, our two families have been friends for generations, so we should maintain a good relationship. The child's situation is no big deal! We can also ask him to look after Feifei at school; maybe that'll spark a romance.

Xu Feifei's smile froze completely, feeling a tiny bit embarrassed! Looking at the male lead's expression, it was as if he'd eaten something disgusting.

They were fine eating before, what happened now?

The three of them went up to the fifth floor and returned to the spot where they had eaten last time.

Gao Lan picked up the menu and handed it to Xu Feifei, saying, "Feifei, take a look at the menu and see what you'd like to eat?"

Xu Feifei picked up the menu and said, "Kirin sea bass, Poon Choi, and a pork tripe and chicken soup."

After she finished ordering, she handed the menu to Gao Lan and said, "Mom, what else would you like to add?"

"Show it to Xiaoye. You two are in charge today."

"I can eat anything, you guys can order," Nangong Ye said, waving his hand.

"Then let's have some blanched bok choy, Chaoshan braised goose, and scallion oil chicken."

After ordering, Gao Lan turned to Nangong Ye and said, "Xiao Ye, please keep an eye on Feifei for me at school. She's new here and doesn't know anyone, so she's bound to feel lonely."

Nangong Ye nodded and absentmindedly hummed in agreement.

“A few days ago, Feifei suddenly mentioned that she wanted to live in the school dormitory. I'm worried that she won't be used to dormitory life, so you should take extra care of her in this regard.”

Xu Feifei panicked when she heard this, "Mom, I can take care of myself, I'm not a three-year-old!"

Seeing Nangong Ye's face growing increasingly dark, almost as black as the bottom of a pot, I quickly spoke up, afraid he would say something shocking or outrageous.

Nangong Ye chimed in, "That's right, Xu Feifei can definitely live independently." Then he muttered, "If you're not comfortable with that, don't stay here!"

However, his voice was too soft, and neither of them heard it.

Xu Feifei quickly nodded in agreement.

Gao Lan was about to say something more when her phone rang, which seemed out of place. She answered it and greeted him with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Huang!"

He paused for a moment, then his smile faded. "Okay... um... okay... I'll go take a look."

After hanging up the phone, she said regretfully, "Feifei, there's been a little problem at the company. I have to go over there now. You and Xiaoye eat, I'll pay the bill!"

Xu Feifei was secretly delighted upon hearing this; her mother was finally leaving, and the three of them could finally stop feeling so awkward. Overjoyed inside, she feigned regret and said, "Okay. Bye-bye, Mom!"

Gao Lan picked up her bag and left, leaving the two of them staring at each other silently.

Xu Feifei picked up the teacup next to her, took a sip, and tried to ease the awkward atmosphere.

Suddenly, Nangong Ye leaned back in his chair, casually placing his hand on the armrest, and said with a disdainful expression, "Woman, give up! I have absolutely no interest in you!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Feifei suddenly spat out the water in her mouth towards the other person, then coughed violently, "Cough! Cough!"

Although she didn't drink much water, it was incredibly potent.

"Woman, are you looking for death?" Nangong Ye picked up a napkin from the table and disgustedly wiped the water off his face and clothes.

Xu Feifei coughed until her face turned red, her throat was sore from choking, and the male lead's words were really funny. This feeling of choking and wanting to laugh at the same time was really suffocating.

Looking at her flushed face and listening to her violent coughing, Nangong Ye still had a conscience and asked, "Are you alright?"

Xu Feifei slowly caught her breath, took a few deep breaths, and waved to him while suppressing a laugh, saying, "It's okay!"

Seeing that she had recovered, Nangong Ye then inexplicably laughed again and asked curiously, "What's wrong with you? What are you laughing at?"

Xu Feifei calmed herself down and said with a smile, "It's okay. Didn't you call me Xu Feifei before? I remember you called me Little Feifei the time before last. How come you're calling me woman now?"

"It's none of my business! I can call myself whatever I want! Woman, leave me alone!"

Upon hearing the term "woman," Xu Feifei, who had finally managed to calm down, burst into laughter again!

Nangong Ye was very dissatisfied with her behavior. "What exactly do you mean? Are you laughing at me? Woman, let me tell you, this method doesn't attract me at all!" After saying that, he got up and left.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Xu Feifei quickly grabbed him and said, "Hey! Don't go! You ordered six dishes! I can't eat that much by myself! Don't waste it! And I wasn't laughing at you, I was, I was..."

"What is it?" Nangong Ye asked in a dangerous voice.

"I...I..."

She had a sudden inspiration and said, "Oh right, didn't I just choke on water? The water I spat out accidentally got on my acupoints, which is why I kept laughing."

To further convince her, he earnestly added, "Yes, that's right! That's exactly it!"

This statement is simply an example of misplaced generosity.

Nangong Ye narrowed his eyes slightly and sneered, "Woman, do you think I'm a fool?"

"No! Just have dinner with me for a while. Lin Yuan has something to do and can't have dinner with me! I don't want to eat alone either, so please be kind and keep me company?" Xu Feifei stared at the male lead with her big, bright eyes, looking at him with a pitiful expression.

Planning a strategy is not easy, so you have to be thick-skinned. This is a principle that Xu Feifei insists on.

Upon hearing a certain word, Nangong Ye returned to his seat and said, "Alright, I'll take pity on you and keep you company!"

"Thank you so much, kind sir!" Xu Feifei said happily.

Just then, the doorbell rang, and after opening the door, the waiter placed the dishes on the table one by one.

Xu Feifei's eyes still lit up as she looked at the dishes on the table. It wasn't that she was unsophisticated; it was just that seeing the food and smelling the aroma made her instantly hungry. She picked up her chopsticks and bowl and started eating voraciously.

"You just said, what happened to Lin Yuan?"

Xu Feifei was focused on eating and vaguely heard him talking, but she didn't understand what he was saying. She asked again, "What?"

"Why doesn't Lin Yuan have time to have dinner with you!" Nangong Ye repeated irritably.

"Oh! She's busy!"

"What's up?"

"have no idea."

Xu Feifei remained focused on cooking and gave him a brief answer to his question.

Nangong Ye was very unhappy to see her treating him so perfunctorily. He slammed down his bowl and chopsticks, got up, and left.

Seeing that he was about to get up and leave again, Xu Feifei quickly called out, "Didn't you say you would eat with me? There's so much food, I can't finish it all by myself! We should actively respond to the country's call for a clean plate campaign!"

Nangong Ye remained silent and continued walking out without stopping!

"Diligence and thrift are traditional virtues of the Chinese nation!"

Xu Feifei clenched the door and called out to his retreating figure, but the male lead still didn't turn around. The surrounding students, however, all looked over, their eyes fixed on her.

Xu Feifei smiled awkwardly and waved her hand, saying, "It's okay, it's okay, everyone continue!" She turned back to her seat. The male lead was gone, so she had to finish all the food by herself.

She complained, "It's such a waste not to eat such delicious food!"

Xu Feifei ate as much as she could ever imagine, until her stomach was bursting. There was still so much left, but she couldn't help it. She slumped back in her chair, rubbing her belly.

Staring at the leftovers in front of me, I fell into deep thought. I couldn't take the food home, and there were no pots and pans in the dorm. I didn't know what to do with it. But it seemed wasteful to let it go to waste. I was at a loss, staring at the leftovers.

Hey! The male lead didn't eat much just now, how about we pack it up and take it back to him? Maybe he'll be touched and increase our romance points, making his affection level go up! Up! Up!

But after thinking about it, I decided against it. If I let Nangong Ye eat my leftovers, he would definitely yell at me, and it would be strange if my favorability towards him didn't drop!

Oh well, in the Mary Sue world, this is nothing!

After finishing her meal, Xu Feifei walked back to her dormitory with a full stomach.

In early summer, the days are long. Even though it's past six o'clock now, it's not dark yet, and a golden sunset still lingers on the distant horizon.

There were still many students on the road to the school, bustling about. Just as she was about to enter the dormitory lobby, someone called out from behind, "Feifei!"
