Bai Jiaojiao quickly served the dishes. She originally planned to just stir-fry some green vegetables for herself, but since two guests had come to her house, she added two more stir-fries. She also soaked the dried kelp that Bai Shiqing had sent her and stewed it with potatoes.
"Fenglin, go wash your hands and eat."
This was the first time Bai Jiaojiao had ever seen Bai Doudou look so utterly hopeless. She and Shen Heng were usually busy, and it was already a blessing if they could find the time to take it for a walk in the morning and evening. They had never exhausted Bai Doudou's energy.
Yang Fenglin had just returned from washing his hands when he saw Bai Doudou curled up on the sofa where he had just been sitting, her eyelids already closed.
"Let it sleep for a while. Where did you take it today? It's so tired."
“I took it to the park. I know that place. Lots of dog owners go there. It’s a workday today, so there aren’t many people. DouDou can run around as much as it wants.”
Yang Fenglin adored Bai Doudou. He longed for Shen Heng to come home, since it was inconvenient for his sister to be home alone. If his brother-in-law came back, he wanted to stay here for two days and sleep with Doudou at night!
He saw that Bai Jiaojiao's courtyard was quite spacious, and he thought that they could surely clean out one of the houses to use as a guest room!
Yang Fenglin talked incessantly to Bai Jiaojiao about how cute Bai Doudou was during the day, and Bai Jiaojiao suddenly felt like she was a stepmother.
Qi Yunxin was still the same quiet person, but he ate a lot. He ate two bowls of rice from her house without saying a word, and even wanted to reach for the bowl. Yang Fenglin's eyes almost popped out: "Old Qi, aren't you afraid of stuffing yourself to death?"
Yang Fenglin didn't know Qi Yunxin's appetite. Two bowls of rice and those dishes were already the maximum. He admitted that his sister's cooking was indeed delicious, but he couldn't eat to death.
Qi Yunxin said, "Opportunity knocks but once."
"Forget it, who's going to take responsibility if you overeat and hurt yourself?"
Bai Jiaojiao said politely, "We're not that far apart. If we're both free in the future, you and Feng Lin can come over for a meal."
"good."
Qi Yunxin nodded earnestly.
Yang Fenglin pinched the bridge of his nose: "My sister is just being polite."
Bai Jiaojiao, who was only being polite, felt awkward and said, "No, no, of course I welcome you two."
Qi Yunxin: "Okay."
Yang Fenglin: "..."
Just before getting into the car, Qi Yunxin said to Yang Fenglin, "Don't be nervous, I just wanted to come over for a meal, that's all."
"Really?" Yang Fenglin was so skeptical.
"real."
After Qi Yunxin finished speaking, he nodded in approval.
"That's right, good brother." Yang Fenglin reached out to Lou Qiyun's shoulder.
Qi Yunxin dodged: "You smell like a dog."
"You're delusional! My sister washed DouDou so clean, it doesn't smell at all, it's so clean, even DaGang isn't as clean as it!"
"I never go near the steelworks."
Da Gang was their roommate. It was one thing that he had bad breath, smelly feet, and body odor—everyone gets sweaty and smelly after training, and most people have these problems to some extent. But the real issue was his lack of hygiene. Even when he took a shower, he would just do a perfunctory job. At first, Qi Yunxin couldn't stand it and would say a few words, but now he's become immune to it.
After saying that, Yang Fenglin recalled that he still felt unsatisfied with the day: "When I get married in the future, I want to find someone who also likes dogs. Then I can have my own little dog."
"Go ahead and look for him." Qi Yunxin glanced at Yang Fenglin.
Two bachelors, why are you thinking so far ahead?
After the two left, Bai Jiaojiao tidied up and woke up Bai Doudou.
Bai Doudou rolled over on the sofa, stretched her belly, and stretched out her little paws towards Bai Jiaojiao.
Bai Jiaojiao grabbed Bai Doudou's little paws: "How many steps did you walk today? Your little paws are all rough."
"Waaah..." Bai Doudou let out a sob from her throat, accusing Yang Fenglin of not being human.
Bai Jiaojiao patted Bai Doudou's head: "Good girl, you've worked hard today. Luckily, someone came to take you home so you could scare away the bad guys for your sister."
"Waaah—"
Bai Doudou rolled over and found a comfortable position, snuggling her head into Bai Jiaojiao's palm, ready to sleep again.
Yang Fenglin was very efficient; he brought people to Bai Jiaojiao's house early the next morning to install a telephone.
“I was worried you wouldn’t be home during the day because you’re in class,” Yang Fenglin said as soon as he entered the door, grabbing Bai Doudou and picking her up. “Do you have class, sis? If you do, go to class. I’ll keep an eye on things and make sure they don’t touch you. Don’t worry.”
"It's okay, I have classes in the third and fourth periods. I already told you not to bother making this for me."
“No trouble at all, this is convenient for you and your brother-in-law too. If your brother-in-law is often away from home, having a phone at home means he can call home no matter where he is.”
That's quite tempting. Shen Heng has been gone for too long this time, and Bai Jiaojiao really misses him.
However, I can only tell him about this phone call after Shen Heng returns.
"Then I'll give you your change."
"No, sis, if I take your money, my dad will break my legs."
As Yang Fenglin said this, he directed the others to install the telephone.
Those who had the phone number knew who Yang Fenglin was, and he handled matters with utmost care and diligence.
"Alright, sis, I have to go now. I'll come see you and DouDou again next time."
Bai Doudou: There's absolutely no need for that.
It struggled in Yang Fenglin's arms, and Bai Jiaojiao reached out to take it, but Yang Fenglin grinned and said, "It's okay, sister, I'm strong, I can't drop it."
Bai Jiaojiao: "..."
Bai Doudou: "..."
After Yang Fenglin left, Bai Doudou leaned against Bai Jiaojiao and whimpered for a while before she was coaxed to calm down.
When Bai Jiaojiao arrived at the classroom, she saw Zhang Mai walking towards her again.
These past few days, Zhang Mai has been exceptionally attentive to her. Bai Jiaojiao knows it's because of Yang Fenglin and Qi Yunxin's affair, but even if their relationship really reached that point, she wouldn't act as a pimp.
If you're so capable, go up and say hello to them yourself next time they come over.
"Jiaojiao, the cafeteria only sells a few servings of xiaolongbao today. I got you some, so try it."
Zhang Mai was holding a dented aluminum lunchbox in his hand, and he opened the lid as he spoke.
"I don't like eating from other people's lunchboxes. Also, this is a classroom, we're not allowed to eat here. Thank you, but I won't take it."
"Oh, it's okay, class hasn't started yet, and the smell of the xiaolongbao isn't strong."
Zhang Mai placed the lunchbox on Bai Jiaojiao's table.
"I really don't want to."
Seeing that Bai Jiaojiao was getting a little nervous, Zhang Mai awkwardly put away the lunchbox and stammered, "Um, Jiaojiao, can I ask you something?"
"you say."
"Those two soldiers who came to see you last time, do they both have girlfriends? Look at my situation, do you think they'd even be interested in me?"
Bai Jiaojiao really wanted to scratch her head.
Why are two people asking this together?
"Whether you like them or not has nothing to do with your circumstances. Next time you meet them, just talk to them. I just met them too, but I really don't have a partner."
Upon hearing Bai Jiaojiao say no, Zhang Mai's face immediately brightened.
