Han Yun answered very seriously.
After they finished talking, Han Yun left first, and Xu Xiu mentioned the matter in their group chat.
Ning Bufan and the others had no objections; they felt it was time to hire more people as they were already quite busy.
After finishing their conversation, Xu Xiu got up and returned to the staff building. Only when he looked at his room door did he realize that he had taken out the snacks at lunchtime and forgotten to put them back.
Xu Xiu's face darkened as he looked at the table full of opened snack wrappers.
Like a child who had made a mistake, Xiao Ruoyan stood up, walked to the wall, lowered her head, and stretched out her hands.
Xu Xiu picked up two pairs of chopsticks and walked over, gently tapping them on her palm.
"Do you realize your mistake?"
"knew."
"As punishment, you'll have to wash all the dishes tonight."
Hearing Xu Xiu's words, Xiao Ruoyan nodded and even made a face at him.
Xu Xiu realized that he really couldn't do anything with her. He couldn't bear to scold her, let alone hit her.
Xiao Ruoyan tidied up the trash on the coffee table, then followed Xu Xiu into the kitchen to help.
The two are now increasingly resembling a married couple living their lives together.
Xiao Ruoyan has almost fully recovered, so she looks very energetic. While helping in the kitchen, she occasionally teases Xu Xiu.
This kind of life was exactly what Xu Xiu had always dreamed of.
Xu Xiu cooked one dish, and Xiao Ruoyan also cooked one dish. She said they would each cook one and see whose dish tasted better.
After they finished cooking, the two of them took a bite of each other's food, and Xiao Ruoyan looked at Xu Xiu with anticipation.
Xu Xiu controlled his expression and swallowed the food in one gulp.
Then, deliberately acting strangely, he said, "Ruoyan, your cooking is so delicious."
"How about this, tonight we'll only eat each other's food."
"Oh, why?"
"Is that even a question? It's so delicious, I don't want to give it to you. I can't even have enough for myself."
Xiao Ruoyan agreed with some skepticism.
Xu Xiu ate quickly, taking two bites of rice and one bite of vegetables at a time. He usually only ate two bowls of rice, but today he ate three. As for why...
After finishing his meal, Xu Xiu drank a large gulp of water.
Xiao Ruoyan took a bite of her own cooking when he wasn't looking, and almost died from the saltiness of her own dish.
"Xiu, you lied to me!"
"I'm not lying to you, your cooking will always be the best in my heart."
Upon hearing Xu Xiu's words, Xiao Ruoyan didn't know why tears kept flowing down her face.
She really didn't know how to describe her feelings at that moment.
Was all my past misfortunes just a prelude to his arrival?
If that's really the case, she doesn't seem to feel so wronged.
Perhaps the only regret is that Dad is no longer here.
Seeing Xiao Ruoyan start crying for no apparent reason, Xu Xiu quickly grabbed some tissues to wipe her tears.
"Why are you crying? Isn't this what a boyfriend should do?"
Xiao Ruoyan stood up and hugged Xu Xiu.
"Xiu, can you promise me that you will never leave me in this lifetime?"
"Silly girl, I'll be with you in the next life and the life after that, not just this life."
Just as the two locked eyes, their affection overflowing, and were about to do something...
Suddenly there was a knock on the door, which instantly woke the two of them up.
Xu Xiu and Xiao Ruoyan went to open the door together, looking very puzzled.
Upon opening the door, two sleazy figures came into Xu Xiu's view.
If he hadn't seen Wen Zhicai behind him, he would have wanted to close the door immediately.
When Xiao Ruoyan saw that they were Xu Xiu's roommates, she quickly and warmly invited them in.
Pang Wenjun bought a bag of apples, while Xiao Xu carried a bunch of bananas.
Wen Zhicai bought a bucket of salad oil...
What are you doing here?
Xu Xiu looked at the items in each person's hands with a puzzled expression.
"Isn't Xiao sick? Let's go buy some things and come over to see her."
Pang Wenjun said with a smile.
"Yeah, you didn't even tell us that Lao Xu Xiao was sick."
Xiao Xu's words left Xu Xiu completely bewildered.
"Old Xiao, are you studying medicine?"
No, that's not it.
"Then why should I tell you when my girlfriend is sick?"
Xiao Xu glanced at Xiao Ruoyan, who was cutting fruit in the kitchen.
Lowering her voice, she whispered, "Father, shouldn't we come to see Mother who is sick?"
Upon hearing Xiao Xu's words, Xu Xiu found himself speechless.
Pang Wenjun chimed in from the side.
Wen Zhicai looked at the two men like lackeys with a helpless expression.
They played games together in the staff building for a while, then checked the time and realized the dormitory was about to close, so they got up to leave.
Xu Xiu also got up and said he was going back to his dormitory to sleep.
The group looked at him with incredulous expressions.
"What are you looking at? I didn't even ask for leave today."
"Oh, I see..."
Pang Wenjun and Xiao Xu exchanged a glance and grinned mischievously.
Xu Xiu exchanged a few words with Xiao Ruoyan and then left with his roommates.
Looking at the empty room, Xiao Ruoyan felt a deep emptiness in her heart.
They all regretted not keeping Xu Xiu with them earlier.
Just as she was getting ready to wash up, her phone beeped with a message notification.
Xiao Ruoyan picked up her phone and saw that it was a message from Du Yuanyuan. The message was just one sentence: "Ruoyan, please take precautions."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Xiu went back to his dorm to sleep."
Having spent a lot of time with the "dirty girls" in the dormitory, Xiao Ruoyan had come to understand many adjectives, colloquialisms, and slang.
"What? Xu Xiu actually went back to the dorm to sleep? Leaving you, a beautiful girl, all alone in the room?"
"Oh dear, Du Yuanyuan, you're talking nonsense. I'm ignoring you."
"Okay, okay, I'm not teasing you anymore. Go back to your dorm to sleep tomorrow, okay?"
"Okay, I'll be back for class tomorrow morning."
"Okay, I'll be waiting for you tomorrow night, baby."
Xiao Ruoyan stomped her feet in anger upon seeing the message sent by Du Yuanyuan.
On their way back to the dormitory, Xu Xiu and his group hummed songs as they walked side by side, arms around each other's shoulders.
Back in the dormitory, apart from Xu Xiu, the others all started studying on their own. The final exams were next week, and they didn't have much time left.
Wen Zhicai reads books every day, while the other two are purely for last-minute cramming for exams.
It started snowing heavily outside the window that night; such snow is rare for a southern city.
The next morning, everything outside was covered in white snow, and many students got up very early to see the snow.
Xu Xiu also got up very early; he planned to go to the staff dormitory to pick up his little darling.
I was so tired last night that I fell asleep as soon as I got into bed, and I didn't see any of the messages Xiao Ruoyan sent me.
I replied to her message as soon as I woke up this morning, saying that I was a little tired last night and went straight to sleep.
They agreed to meet at the staff building in the morning, and after meeting, they walked hand in hand toward the classroom.
Xu Xiu first sent Xiao Ruoyan to the design department, then went around to his own computer science department.
There was only one class on Thursday morning. After Xu Xiu finished his class, he went to the design department to wait for Xiao Ruoyan to finish her get out of class.
The girls in the design department are just as good as those in the art department. Many girls can't help but turn around and take a look when they pass by Xu Xiu.
Some bolder girls even went up to ask for her WeChat ID.
Xu Xiu suddenly regretted his decision. At that moment, Xiao Ruoyan was watching this scene from not far away.
However, he politely declined. Although many girls knew that Xu Xiu had a girlfriend, they felt that adding a verified account was no big deal.
So, as I always say, if you're not handsome enough, you'll never know how proactive girls can be.
