Chi Chan shook her head: "No need, once Shu Jia has vented and the two of them have talked things out, they'll come out on their own!"
Linda nodded.
Another half hour passed before the room door finally opened.
The first to step out was Shu Jia, who looked smug and refreshed.
Following closely behind was Zhuo Zhiyuan, who was grimacing, gasping for breath, as if his body had been hollowed out.
Chi Chan glanced at the expressions and states of the two people.
I know this matter is finally over.
She breathed a sigh of relief and handed the first-aid kit that had been prepared to her to Linda.
Lin Da took it and led Zhuo Zhiyuan back into the room.
Ji Siyuan was still in the kitchen, helping Zhang Qiaoyue with the day's cleanup.
Chi Chan then pulled Shu Jia to sit down at a table outside.
It was past lunchtime, and there were no customers in the restaurant.
"Jiajia, have you sorted things out with Zhuo Zhiyuan?"
"It's all taken care of. I gave him a beating to teach him to watch his mouth!"
As for what happened before, let's just forget about it.
Like you said, I'll just treat it as being petted by a dog, what else can I do!
In short, from now on, we'll keep to ourselves and each other's business!
Chi Chan smiled with satisfaction.
"I'm relieved to hear that. Zhuo Zhiyuan is just a bit of a smart aleck, but he's generally a decent person!"
"If he hadn't been so foul-mouthed, would he have gotten this beating today?"
Shu Jia has a fiery temper; she takes revenge on the spot if she has a grudge.
The 'pounce' incident was also because she felt awkward and couldn't get over it, which is why she's been having so much trouble lately and has been having all sorts of conflicts with Zhuo Zhiyuan.
I gave Zhuo Zhiyuan another good beating today, and all the pent-up anger in my heart was released on the spot.
Shu Jia is feeling absolutely exhilarated right now.
Shu Jia was straightforward, but Zhuo Zhiyuan was less so.
"Ah—Linda, be gentle! You're using so much force, do you think you're wiping a table?"
Zhuo Zhiyuan cried out in pain.
Upon hearing this, Linda intensified her movements.
Zhuo Zhiyuan screamed in pain.
"Does it hurt? That's good, pain will teach you a lesson, and you won't be so cheeky in the future!"
"Brother Da, is the mouth of yours only for criticizing me?"
Zhuo Zhiyuan blurted out something that deserved a beating.
Linda showed no mercy and continued to exert force.
"Ahhh—I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Brother Da, please be gentle!"
Zhuo Zhiyuan immediately admitted his mistake, and his attitude was very sincere.
Linda then withdrew her strength.
"Don't you know Shu Jia's temper? You always provoke her, and sure enough, trouble has come. Words can be dangerous. You really need to watch your mouth."
Zhuo Zhiyuan's lifeline was now in Lin Da's grasp, and his intelligence kicked in, his brain starting to work again.
He raised his hand and made a gesture of closing his mouth, and then he didn't get out.
Linda nodded in satisfaction and softened her movements slightly.
After this incident, Zhuo Zhiyuan, who had no sense of propriety, finally learned to restrain himself a little.
His relationship with Shu Jia returned to what it was before, but the number of times they bickered decreased significantly.
In a true sense, their relationship was one of keeping to themselves and having very clear boundaries.
Chi Chan was very satisfied to be part of a team where the atmosphere had finally returned to harmony.
Not only is Chi Chan very satisfied with the team's work atmosphere, but she is also very satisfied with her recent study arrangements.
Because Ji Siyuan is going to another province to participate in a competition training camp.
This means that during the time Ji Siyuan was away, Chi Chan's studies were left unattended.
Oh ho—
Cool!
After school that day, Chi Chan diligently helped Ji Siyuan pack his things.
When are you leaving tomorrow?
We have class tomorrow, so we can't go to the airport to see you off. That's such a shame!
Be careful on your way home!
Also, how long will your training camp last?
..."
Ji Siyuan stopped what he was doing, staring at Chi Chan with a half-smile.
Chi Chan awkwardly withdrew her hand, and her incessant chatter also stopped.
Ji Siyuan turned his gaze away and continued packing his things.
After packing up, Ji Siyuan took out a thick, bound exercise book from his bulging schoolbag.
After taking out the exercise book, the schoolbag immediately deflated considerably.
Seeing Ji Siyuan's actions and the huge, thick book, Chi Chan had a bad feeling.
As expected.
Ji Siyuan spoke up.
The force of his words was no less than that of an atomic bomb dropped on a calm lake.
"Here, these are the exercises you need to complete during my training camp."
I was originally going to send you the electronic documents every day, but knowing you're a diligent student and don't often check your phone or reply to my messages, I just printed out the materials for you. You're welcome!
Looking at the thick workbook in front of her, Chi Chan almost couldn't maintain her smile.
Therefore, Ji Siyuan knew that if he sent an electronic version, Chi Chan would pretend not to see it and not reply to the message.
Chi Chan: Thank you so much, you even gave me such a high-sounding reason.
This is really difficult. Ji Siyuan has even thought this through, completely cutting off her escape route.
What else could she say?
Of course, she accepted Ji Siyuan's kindness with eyes full of joy (and tears) and hands trembling (and shaking)!
Chi Chan smiled stiffly and took the documents.
The next day during break, Shu Jia was working on a chemistry test when she came across a question she couldn't answer. So she picked up the test and turned to ask Chi Chan for help.
"Sister Chan, Brother Da isn't here, could you help me with this question?"
