Chapter 205 Cao's Soldiers Return to the City
Su Xiao raised an eyebrow. She didn't seem to have said a word just now. Did this Chen Jing really think she was an easy target?
"Chen, you're joking. Didn't you bring this embarrassing scene upon yourselves?"
Su Xiao smiled, her two dimples were undeniably sweet, but paired with her sharp, cold eyes, they gave off an inexplicable sinister aura.
Chen Jing's heart skipped a beat, and her momentum weakened. She bit her lip and instinctively shrank back, muttering, "If you don't want to help, then don't. How stingy."
Without waiting for anyone else's reaction, he turned and left.
Seeing that Chen Jing had left, Li Wenxiang and Fang Yan immediately lost their arrogance and followed her without saying goodbye, like quails.
So what's the point of all this? How boring!
Su Xiao rolled her eyes, turned around and went to the pavilion to eat.
Huang Feiyan, however, stood tall like a victorious rooster, clucking and boasting, "Hmph, little punks, trying to outsmart us? They're overestimating themselves. Little one, aren't I amazing? A few words and they were routed..."
"Hmm, that's really impressive. Come on, eat some more rice as a reward." Su Xiao smiled and pretended to serve her another spoonful of rice.
Startled, Huang Feiyan quickly reached out to block, "Hey, I don't want more rice, I want more vegetables!"
She has a small appetite and doesn't like to eat rice. Besides, she finds vegetables much more delicious than rice.
"Haha..." Su Xiao knew her character; she had just done it on purpose.
"You brat, you did this on purpose!" Huang Feiyan realized what was happening and angrily complained, threatening, "I'm not talking to you anymore!"
"Haha, no, I was wrong." Seeing that she was pretending to be angry, Su Xiao played along and coaxed her, "I'll add some food for you. I made your favorite fried meatballs today, so I'll add two for you. Please forgive me, okay?"
Huang Feiyan couldn't keep her lips from clenching and immediately smiled, "Fine, I forgive you. It's because your cooking is so delicious."
Cao Bing sat to the side watching the two of them fool around, his eyes and lips full of smiles.
He had just seen Su Xiao being bullied and was about to step forward when Huang Feiyan had already blocked her way.
So even without him, she won't be bullied, right?
"Cao Bing, you should eat more too. You've been working hard these past few days, so eat something good to replenish your energy. I'll go to town tomorrow and get some more meat..." Su Xiao said as she moved the plate of fried meatballs in front of him, gesturing for him to take more.
Cao Bing tightened his grip on his chopsticks. "No need. You two eat more. I... I need to go back to the city."
The sudden words caused Su Xiao and Huang Feiyan to stop moving for a moment.
Huang Feiyan asked in surprise, "What happened? What happened before..."
She fell silent as she spoke, remembering Su Xiao's words to Cao Bing before the New Year.
“…I thought…” Huang Feiyan murmured three words, then paused, feeling a tightness in her chest.
She thought that since he had come back with her on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, he wouldn't return to the city, but she didn't expect it was just a matter of time.
She felt very sorry that Cao Bing and Xiao Xiao couldn't be together. Cao Bing was such a good person, but Xiao Xiao just didn't like him.
Over the past six months, she and Cao Bing have worked together and developed a strong bond, witnessing every step he took and every effort he made for Su Xiaoxiao.
What a pity...
After a moment of stunned silence, Su Xiao slowly chewed the rice in her mouth. After swallowing a mouthful, she looked up at Cao Bing and smiled, "It's good to be back in the city. But no matter where you go, don't put down your books and don't give up on learning."
