Chapter 59: Self-inflicted Slap



“How do you see the road!”

Along with the clanging sound, there was also Xu Qingqing's scream.

Bai Yan turned her head and saw Ruan Xiaohui falling to the ground right below her line of sight.

There were plates scattered around her.

Xu Qingqing, with her back to them, also fell to the ground.

Xu Qingqing had just heard that Meng Hechuan was in the cafeteria, and hurried over from the practice room.

Unexpectedly, before he walked in, he bumped into Ruan Xiaohui who was cleaning up a pile of plates.

The plates in Ruan Xiaohui's hands were all ready to be sent to the kitchen for cleaning, and some of them still had vegetable juice on them.

As Xu Qingqing collided with her, not only was she hit on the nose by one of the plates, but the vegetable juice in the plates also splashed all over her body.

...

...

Xu Qingqing was so angry that she turned around with narrowed eyes and was about to settle the score with Ruan Xiaohui.

"You are a country girl, can't you even do something as simple as serving dishes?"

"Qingqing!" Zhihua wanted to remind her when she saw clearly that the person who pushed the crowd forward was Meng Hechuan, but Xu Qingqing moved too quickly.

She raised her hand directly towards Ruan Xiaohui, originally just wanting to give her a push.

Unexpectedly, Ruan Xiaohui on the ground suddenly moved her face towards Xu Qingqing's hand.

Xu Qingqing couldn't hold back her strength, and with a crisp 'pop' sound, the originally noisy cafeteria instantly became quiet.

Xu Qingqing also had a bit of surprise on her face.

She was used to being domineering in the team. If she hit someone, she would just hit them and never apologize.

But today is different.

Looking at Meng Hechuan with a gloomy face, Xu Qingqing wanted to explain anxiously, "Hechuan, I didn't mean to hit her, she stretched her face towards me..."

"You mean, she put her face under your hand and got beaten?"

Meng He frowned and looked at Ruan Xiaohui and then at Xu Qingqing.

After thinking for a moment, he walked towards Ruan Xiaohui.

Ruan Xiaohui's right face was slightly red and swollen from being hit, and she lowered her head and sobbed softly.

Meng Hechuan took another look, leaned forward slightly, slowed down his voice, and said to Ruan Xiaohui: "Stand up first."

Ruan Xiaohui pursed her lips in grievance and slightly lowered her chin.

She raised her eyelids and looked at Meng Hechuan, "Brother Hechuan——"

This cry was three parts sad and five parts painful, and Ruan Xiaohui was good at acting, so tears hung in the corners of her eyes and fell on her lips.

It really does feel pitiful.

When she called out like that, Xu Qingqing became even angrier.

She jumped up and pointed her finger at Ruan Xiaohui: "What are you yelling about? The brigade has its own rules. You are an extra-staff female worker in the kitchen team. You should call me Chief Engineer Meng, why call me brother!"

Bai Yan followed behind Meng Hechuan, watching the show in front of her with cold eyes.

Although I don’t understand what Ruan Xiaohui is trying to do, as long as the fire doesn’t burn me, it’s quite interesting to watch them fight each other.

"Brother Tsurukawa——"

The louder Xu Qingqing scolded, the more exaggerated Ruan Xiaohui cried, even to the point of having small convulsions.

Many people have been pointing fingers at Xu Qingqing.

But even though Ruan Xiaohui had been crying for quite a while, she thought she was crying like a pear blossom in the rain.

But she still didn't get the reaction she wanted.

Meng Hechuan did not reach out to help her up from the ground.

She gritted her teeth secretly, how come this is so different from what she heard?

The last time I heard Zhihua talking about the time they met Bai Yan in Shichahai, Bai Yan also fell down in the same way, but Meng Hechuan stepped forward to support her at the first moment!

He even checked her wound very intimately, which made Xu Qingqing furious.

Why is he indifferent when it happens to him?

Ruan Xiaohui glanced at Meng Hechuan with a hint of resentment, her eyes intentionally or unintentionally sweeping over Bai Yan behind her.

There was jealousy and hatred in her eyes that could not be hidden.

Ruan Xiaohui noticed Bai Yan and the others when they entered the cafeteria just now.

Although she dreamed of running into Meng Hechuan, this was definitely not the right time.

Now she was wearing an anti-oil apron and two big blue sleeves on her hands, which was ridiculous.

She was holding a spoon and mechanically serving food to those men who were covered in sweat.

Bai Yan, who went to the cafeteria with Meng Hechuan, was taken care of by Meng Hechuan and Lu Jili successively. She was clean and tidy, and the little soldiers who passed by her even politely called her "Teacher Bai".

Compared to myself, I am dirty and ugly, and even my hair smells like garlic.

She just couldn't understand, Meng Hechuan was able to make an exception and keep her in the team, why couldn't he let her go to some classes that were both relaxing and could stand out?

Ruan Xiaohui wanted to escape from the kitchen like crazy.

She also wants to go to an English training class like Bai Yan, and she also wants to dress neatly every day.

But Xu Qingqing would definitely not let her go now, so she had to think of a way.

"Brother Tsuruka, I'm fine."

Ruan Xiaohui found a step for herself, staggered up from the ground, pretending to be a frightened rabbit, and glanced at Xu Qingqing cautiously, "Squad Leader Xu, don't be angry, how about this, I will go back to the dormitory with you later, you take off your clothes, and I will help you wash them like before!"

She reached out her hand at the right time and wiped her tears: "I have been very serious in helping you wash your clothes during this period. Don't worry, I will definitely wash them clean."

Lu Jili finished his dumplings and squeezed back.

Hearing this, he laughed, thinking it was a joke, and followed suit: "Comrade Xiao Ruan, do you think you are the snail girl? What do you mean by helping squad leader Xu wash clothes like before?"

Ruan Xiaohui suddenly covered her mouth exaggeratedly and hunched her shoulders forward.

He shook his head as if trying to cover up his mistake. "No, no, no, Captain Lu, how could you misinterpret my meaning like that? I didn't say that Squad Leader Xu asked me to do her laundry!"

Lu Jili pointed at himself in astonishment, "Me? I didn't say that!"

Bai Yan silently winked at Lu Jili and pulled him to her side.

The discussion around them gradually became louder. "No way? Squad Leader Xu asked other female comrades to wash her clothes? That's too much!"

"Isn't it? No matter who her father is, she is the daughter of the troupe leader and she loves to form a small team in the art class!"

"Yes, yes, yes. Didn't they bully Comrade Bai Yan outside last time? That's why Comrade Bai Yan quarreled with them outside without caring about the reputation of the team!"

"Oh, Comrade Bai Yan is probably not someone you can easily mess with..."

"Have you forgotten? Didn't Comrade Xiao Ruan tell her last time that Comrade Bai Yan often gave her a cold shoulder in the dormitory and often took over the food and clothes sent by Chief Engineer Meng..."

Bai Yan looked towards the two people who were talking the most excitedly. They were two people from the kitchen team who were also wearing blue aprons and sleeves.

When they saw Bai Yan looking at them, the two men immediately fell silent.

Bai Yan knew what was going on.

It seems that Ruan Xiaohui often "promotes" herself in the kitchen!
