Chapter 77 The Delinquent School Beauty Transfer Student 18 White Chocolate Cake...
Yun Chiyi stood in front of the camera to try on a dress, also to see how it looked after being washed by Lin Heng's hands.
Excellent, very meticulous, and without any damage. The work done by this hand that writes is truly impeccable.
Today is Xin Xiaoya's birthday. She is going to Wang Jiajia's maternal grandmother's house so that the three of them can make longevity noodles together.
She consulted Lin Hengzhi yesterday and is very confident in herself.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the three met upstairs.
The old neighborhood was crowded and noisy, with stairs leading all the way, and the corridors were full of piles of clutter. Onions, garlic, peppers and roses were growing on the balconies.
Yun Chiyi, carrying a pink cartoon dog gift bag, looked at Xin Xiaoya with a smile in her eyes: "I've been thinking about what to give you, but I don't know. These cookies are delicious. Eating one can make you happy all day. I hope you're happy every day."
Xin Xiaoya was somewhat flattered and hurriedly nodded to accept it, a barely perceptible smile curving her lips.
On one side, Wang Jiajia leaned over with her hands in her pockets: "What kind of magic cookie is that amazing? Let me try one too."
Yun Chiyi reached out and grabbed her collar: "I'll buy it for you another day if you want to eat it."
Wang Jiajia pouted and said, "Then I didn't prepare anything."
Upon hearing this, Xin Xiaoya suddenly became excited and explained that she was already very happy that they were celebrating her birthday and didn't need any gifts.
After spending a lot of time together, even Wang Jiajia, who didn't understand sign language, could roughly understand Xin Xiaoya's expressions. She excitedly used her key to open the door and invited them inside.
The space behind the door is not large, but the blue and white tiles and mahogany furniture create a small world.
Wang Jiajia's maternal grandmother went out to play mahjong today. There was still some white fungus soup on the fire that had just been turned off. Kneading tools were placed on the stove, and pots, pans and bowls were all laid out. Wang Jiajia told them to take their own bowls and eat something before they started working.
Then, the three of them stared at the half-basin of flour, remaining silent for a long time without anyone breaking the silence.
Wang Jiajia held the bowl in one hand, turned her head to look at Yun Chiyi, her gaze truly eager.
Yun Chiyi took a sip of the sweet and delicious white fungus soup, felt the burning gaze, and looked back at her sincerely: "Do you want me to be your pillar of support?"
Wang Jiajia gave a thumbs up: "Look at you, after so much tutoring, your brain has become much sharper."
The mere mention of tutoring gave Yun Chiyi an instinctive headache. She downed the bowl of white fungus soup in one gulp: "Thank you for your trust. I will not let you down!"
She rolled up her sleeves to reach for her apron, but a thin, small hand reached across and grabbed one corner of the apron.
What's going on? Is Xin Xiaoya hiding something?
Xin Xiaoya looked embarrassed, lowered her head, and pointed to herself.
Yun Chiyi and Wang Jiajia were overjoyed: "Can you do it?!"
Xin Xiaoya nodded slowly and shyly, her ears turning red. She had been cooking for herself since she was a child, so kneading dough and making noodles was not difficult for her.
The next second, these two strange friends flanked her from both sides, surrounding her and giving her hair a good rub and a shake. Afterwards, her hair was covered in static electricity.
Yun Chiyi smiled, revealing her white teeth: "Look at Xiaoya's professional technique! Even the way she pours water is so graceful. Look, not a single drop spills. How nimble her hands are when she holds the chopsticks!"
She stretched out her hand, twirled around with great expression, and her white skirt bloomed like a flower.
Wang Jiajia leaned against the wall and casually said, "Isn't this the skirt you vomited on like it was in a garbage can last time? How did you manage to wash it clean?"
Yun Chiyi replied nonchalantly, "It wasn't me, it was Lin Hengzhi who washed it."
"Thud—"
Half a basin of flour fell to the ground, basin and all. Xin Xiaoya shook it, picked it up nonchalantly, turned her back and continued kneading the dough, as if to say she hadn't heard anything.
Wang Jiajia opened her lips, hesitated, and finally couldn't hold back her words. She rubbed her face in discomfort and said, "I think he's interested in you."
Upon hearing this, Yun Chiyi's hand slipped, and she almost dropped the bowl. Fortunately, Wang Jiajia caught it quickly and glared at her reproachfully.
Even the system was stunned: [Host, why would she say something so terrible?]
Wang Jiajia, completely unaware of what had been brought up, suddenly raised her voice: "What are you all doing? My grandma only has a few bowls!"
She finally couldn't hold back any longer and said, counting on her fingers, "Although he has a bad reputation..."
Yun Chiyi chuckled dryly, "Haha, is he that bad? Why are you always afraid of him?"
Wang Jiajia clicked her tongue and continued, "Why are you defending him! Although he's not very likable, I usually don't say good things about him. But think about it, would a normal person do your laundry? That's not normal at all!"
Yun Chiyi shrugged: "You're overthinking it. He's the one who got it dirty. It's not like I made him pay for it, he just washed it."
Wang Jiajia shrugged: "He listened to your reasons too? That means he's sick."
He paused, then added, "Or maybe you're sick."
Yun Chiyi smiled, her eyes sparkling, and changed the subject: "Who will take over kneading the dough?"
Wang Jiajia was very enthusiastic and raised her hand: "Me, me, me! I have a lot of brute strength but nowhere to use it. Finally, I have a chance to use it!"
Xin Xiaoya took off her apron and tied it on Wang Jiajia, then washed her hands and waited on the side. During this time, her gaze kept drifting towards Yun Chiyi, but she would sneakily look away when she was afraid of being discovered.
Even the most oblivious person could sense that something was wrong with Xin Xiaoya. Yun Chiyi leaned closer, her eyes meeting Xin Xiaoya's beautiful eyes: "Why are you staring at me? Is there something on my face?"
Xin Xiaoya shook her head vigorously, twisting her sleeves as she turned her back.
Yun Chiyi had some doubts, but before she could think about it, Wang Jiajia, sweating profusely, turned the basin upside down and told Yun Chiyi to boil water, wash vegetables, and cut meat to make a topping.
There were so many things to do, but Yun Chiyi, eager to show off her abilities, quickly put the matter from her mind.
Under Xin Xiaoya's silent guidance, Yun Chiyi successfully made a bowl of minced meat topping. After it was cooked, the three of them gathered together to look at it. The golden minced meat emitted an enticing aroma, and the cilantro and scallions garnished on it looked lush and green.
Wang Jiajia reached across Yun Chiyi's back and patted Xin Xiaoya's head: "Make a wish, don't space out."
"You're going to make a wish based on this?" Xin Xiaoya pursed her lips, a rare hint of disdain in her expression.
Yun Chiyi and Wang Jiajia said in unison, "We know you're so moved you can't bear it."
Xin Xiaoya chuckled, clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and began to make a wish.
She probably had many wishes, and after making them for a full minute, Yun Chiyi leaned over with a smile: "Make one for me too."
Wang Jiajia grabbed Yun Chiyi and pulled her back: "Hey, hey, what are you doing? It's not your birthday. Your birthday is in winter, so you can think of whatever you want then."
The original owner's birthday was well past the 100-day mark, so Yun Chiyi couldn't wait any longer. She crossed her arms and said with a slight smile, "Okay."
The three people ate longevity noodles at the old table, and were all quite satisfied with their cooking skills.
The midday sun retreated from the room, and the three of them finished cleaning the stove and planned to go out to buy a cake. It's a birthday, after all; you always have to have some cake.
Wang Jiajia knew the nearby dessert shops like the back of her hand, and soon led them to a curb. Before they even stepped onto the steps, they could smell the sweet aroma of cakes.
They flung open the door aggressively and picked out a white chocolate cake.
The cake was small, about the size of a palm, and Yun Chiyi finished it in just a few bites. She wiped her mouth, rubbed her back, and said that the cake was so sweet that it made her back hurt.
Wang Jiajia put her hands on her hips: "Huh? Where does a kid get a waist?"
This remark made Xin Xiaoya cover her mouth and laugh for a long time.
After dark, the three of them, who were supposed to go home separately, wandered around and ended up near Yun Chiyi's house, where they ate barbecue at the intersection.
Yun Chiyi also became familiar with the shop owner here. She sold her smile for three skewers of pork belly, holding the proprietress's hand and calling her "sister" repeatedly.
Wang Jiajia shook the goosebumps off her hands, but when it came to eating, she was completely unreserved.
There were three bottles of Sprite and a plate of barbecue with meat and vegetables on the table. Yun Chiyi ate a lot with her legs crossed. She was eating a fragrant corn when a hand pinched her thigh, burning her mouth. She squinted at the culprit, Wang Jiajia, and asked, "What are you doing?"
Wang Jiajia pouted and pointed to the table diagonally opposite: "My teammates from the school basketball team."
Yun Chiyi touched her burning lips, glanced at the three boys casually, and said irritably, "Never seen them before, don't know them, what does it have to do with me?"
Wang Jiajia asked in confusion, "Didn't you used to be a cheerleader? How could you not recognize me? Are you just pretending not to know me because you're ugly?"
Yun Chiyi stuffed a skewer of lamb into Wang Jiajia's mouth: "Don't bring up those unbearable past events again."
She continued munching on her corn: "Besides, even if it is them, so what?"
Wang Jiajia bit into a beef skewer, tore off a piece of meat, and with something in her mouth, mumbled, "Eavesdropping tactics, to help Lin Hengzhi and the others win. I've been annoyed with Chen Cang for a long time, let that kid taste the bitterness of defeat."
Yun Chiyi remained noncommittal, but she placed a piece of roasted eggplant on Xin Xiaoya's plate.
She thought it was just a friendly match, no need to take it too seriously.
The three boys were all tall. They ordered several bottles of beer, ate for a while, and gradually became louder. They even stood up and raised their glasses, as if to celebrate.
"I've been walking around asking for directions all day, I'm exhausted. Eat and drink well, and next week I'll beat those good-for-nothings until they bow their heads and admit defeat."
"The others aren't very interesting, so just attack him and don't let him get the ball."
"We'll start with psychological tactics, hitting his sore spots hard. Once he's distracted, he'll definitely fall into chaos, hahaha."
"Do you think it's more dangerous to call him an orphan, or to call him...?"
Halfway through the conversation, Yun Chiyi rushed over with her wallet in hand. She smiled radiantly and waved to the proprietress with her chin tilted back, "Sister, we need to pay the bill."
As she passed that table, she lightly hooked her right foot and easily pulled a person's chair aside. The boy, who was halfway down the table, realized the chair was gone and fell heavily to the ground.
He exclaimed in surprise, bewildered, and was about to curse.
"Who put a bench in the middle of the road? It tripped me and hurt terribly!"
As a result, a crisp, clear voice started cursing even faster than him.
The boy opened his eyes, clutching his buttocks. Two figures flashed past him again. They helped the girl who had bumped into the corner of the table. The slightly taller, short-haired girl pointed at the three of them and yelled.
"Apologize right now! He was walking perfectly fine and you tripped him!"
"Honestly, don't you have eyes? So many people are watching!"
The girl leaned her head to the side, nestled in the short-haired girl's arms, and gasped for breath in pain.
The male companion put down his beer and kicked the person on the ground: "Get up and apologize to them."
The boy reluctantly stood up, rolled his eyes, and said sorry.
A slender, white hand waved a purse, seemingly not too angry, though she kept her head down. The boy recognized them, but couldn't quite place them.
His companion paid the bill and pulled him away. After all, there were so many people watching them eating barbecue in unfamiliar territory, so it was always better not to cause trouble.
As soon as the three people left, Yun Chiyi calmly raised her head, then her gaze froze.
Why are Yun Hengshan, Meng Yuan, and... Lin Hengzhi all in the bookstore across the street?
