Original flavor
Several timid people, especially Shen Kuo, were still shaken after coming out. Although Jiang Yanmu was also afraid, she didn't show it like Shen Kuo. Instead, when no one was paying attention, she quietly huddled to the side, tugging at Fu Yanjin.
Walking into a hot pot restaurant. Hearing this, Wen Yan, remembering how terrified Shen Kuo had been, clutched her stomach and laughed so hard she collapsed onto the table. Shen Kuo glared fiercely at Wen Yan, shoving his chopsticks into the mutton. "You better not sleep soundly tonight!" Wen Yan said, the meat in her mouth falling into her bowl, then picking it up and putting it back in her mouth, turning to Ye Ziyi who was silently eating beside her. She said very seriously, "Did you hear that? I'm talking to you."
Ye Ziyi initially didn't want to pay attention, but since the other party seemed to be putting on an act, he played along and gave a perfunctory "Oh," glancing at Jiang Yanmu with his mouth full of meat. Jiang Yanmu, on the other hand, had been focused on eating since they started drinking, completely oblivious to what they were doing; her eyes were only on her food, which was the most important thing to her.
When she found something delicious, she would habitually put it in Ye Ziyi's bowl so he could try it too. "The crispy pork is delicious, you should try it. There's also tempura, crab roe buns, and tripe, a must-have for hot pot, they're all delicious!"
He habitually accepted what the other person shared.
Exhausted after a long day, Jiang Yanmu sprawled on the bed like a pancake. "Anyone who didn't know better would think you two were already together. All that back and forth, so sickeningly sweet~"
"Okay, then I'll make it real tomorrow."
You'd better keep your word.
"Yes, I will," Fu Yanjin knew she was saying it as a joke, but she really meant it; it just wasn't the right time yet.
In the training room, Ye Ziyi handed over a bottle of original-flavored plum orchid. "A return gift, thank you for sharing the delicious food yesterday." Jiang Yanmu put down her pen, accepted the plum orchid with both hands, and thanked him. "Thank you," she said, happily opening the straw. "Delicious!"
"I'm glad you like it. I'll buy you a different flavor next time."
"Okay~" she said with a smile, biting her straw.
The three-month training camp has come to an end. They took a photo at the entrance before leaving.
That was the first photo of Jiang Yanmu and Ye Ziyi.
"Let's go out for a meal to celebrate," Wen Yan said with a grin. Shen Kuo, who was standing next to Wen Yan, pushed his luggage forcefully next to her. "All you ever think about is food," he said, rolling his eyes at Wen Yan.
Startled by the sudden shove of a suitcase, he darted to the side, nearly falling. "Shen Kuo!"
"How did I say something wrong?"
"I...you!" Unable to defend himself, he stammered in frustration. Seeing the two of them like this, Ye Ziyi stepped in and asked, "What's going on between you two?"
“Ask him about that. I’ll just say it’s about eating, and he’s acting crazy.”
"He was grumpy this morning, and he just happened to walk right into my line of fire..." Upon hearing that it was because of this, he became enraged and wanted to rush up and beat the other person, but Ye Ziyi stopped him. "Next time, if Shen Kuo is grumpy again, you beat him up."
"Hey, Ye Ziyi! Is that how you advise someone?"
Ye Ziyi waved and left first. Jiang Yanmu also pulled Fu Yanjin away, leaving the two arguing behind.
The next day at school, Jiang Yemu carried out a huge pile of books, most of which belonged to Fu Yanjin. She claimed there were too many to fit, but clearly she just thought they were too heavy. "How can I possibly read all of them?" she complained, putting the books down.
Fu Yanjin rubbed her hands together, picked up a novel, and said with a grin, "Yes! Of course I can. Thank you, darling, you've worked hard~" Seeing Fu Yanjin's grinning, adoring look, her initial anger subsided, although she wasn't really angry.
Filled with curiosity, I picked up one too. "What's this one about?"
"Hey~ You don't usually watch these things, what's gotten into you?" He nudged the other person's shoulder. "What's wrong! It's not like it's bad to watch it once in a while," the person said, pouting.
"Yes, yes, yes," she replied perfunctorily, then continued happily reading her novel. Jiang Yanmu sighed helplessly and followed along. When she reached an exciting part, Jiang Yanmu excitedly exclaimed, "Ahhhhh, a kiss! Ohhhhh!" She patted Fu Yanjin beside her, startling her. "Hmm! Ouch, you scared me! What did you see that made you so excited?"
"They confessed their feelings to each other and kissed!"
They broke up later.
"Get lost! Fu Yanjin, how can you be like this?" She chased after Fu Yanjin and started hitting her. "Fu Yanjin, if you've got the guts, don't run away!" She ran to Ye Ziyi's side and said, "Little Ye, can you control her?"
When Ye Ziyi was mentioned, Jiang Yanmu froze for a moment. Waiting for what Ye Ziyi would say, she couldn't help but fidget with her fingers. "How am I supposed to manage this?" Ye Ziyi asked, puzzled.
“You only need to say one word to keep them in check,” he said, pulling down a chair and sitting down beside Ye Ziyi.
Ye Ziyi thought for a moment and said, "Okay! Then Jiang Yanmu, you... uh, we'll pursue her."
A moment of silence followed. "I just gave you a spoiler: the two broke up, and Jiang Xiaoyan is after me," Fu Yanjin spoke first, easing the awkwardness. Ye Ziyi touched the back of his neck, understanding the situation, and said, "Hmm."
"And then? Don't you want to say anything more?" Fu Yanjin asked, gesturing as she spoke. "And then... I don't know either." The air grew cold again.
Jiang Yanmu, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up, "You really wouldn't know if you didn't look at this."
"Hmm... spoilers are definitely not good."
"Yes, Fu Yanjin will be singled out for criticism."
"Okay, I won't do it again." One person pushed the other back to their seat. Fu Yanjin couldn't help but say, "Ye Ziyi is a bit...straightforward, very straight."
"Hahaha, that's true."
"Can someone so straightforward be warmed up?"
"If the other person likes it too, then we can nurture it; if they don't, then they don't like it, and that's fine too." Fu Yanjin was stunned by Jiang Yanmu's words and clapped her hands. "Wow, impressive, Jiang Xiaoyan! I never knew you were so insightful."
"If you don't understand it thoroughly, are you just going to be a hopeless romantic with no clear understanding of the situation?" After saying that, Jiang Yanmu picked up her pen and started doing the questions.
Jiang Yanmu put down her pen during the break between classes, having been nagged by Fu Yanjin the whole way there. "If it weren't for the break between classes, I bet your butt would have been glued to the chair the whole time."
"Ahem, okay~ Stop nagging, Mom!" she said, breaking free from Fu Yanjin's arm and running away. Fu Yanjin, realizing what was happening, chased after her, yelling, "Who are you calling 'Mom'?!"
"I won't say who it is," someone shouted from afar.
While chasing after her, she tripped over some grass on the flat ground, her face brushing against the grass. Jiang Yanmu looked back and saw that Fu Yanjin hadn't caught up because he had fallen, so she ran back laughing. "Ouch, what happened? Hahahaha!"
"You're still laughing!" She put her hand to her eyes, pretending to cry, and said, "Waaah, I'm like this and you don't care about me but laugh at me, you don't love me anymore~"
"If you hadn't added that last sentence, maybe I would have cared about you a little." Fu Yanjin took the opportunity to slap Jiang Yanmu and ran away. "You're something else!"
"Hehehe~"
