After washing the clothes, the two returned the way they came. Luo Shimiao went back to her room to get a clothes hanger, and then took the clothes up to the roof to dry.
After hanging up the clothes, with nothing else to do, I lay down on the bed to rest.
It lasted until 8 p.m.
In the living room, everyone sat on the sofa, staring at each other blankly. The director asked everyone to play some entertainment to liven up the atmosphere.
Jin Hongxuan suggested, "Let's play Truth or Dare."
Qiao Zhixi clapped her hands and chimed in, "Great! Great!"
Having eaten dinner early, Luo Shimiao rubbed his stomach and looked at Huang Zongyi: "Brother Yi, how about some late-night snack? Playing games all the time is boring."
Qiao Zhixi said with a look of disgust, "All you ever do is eat, eat, eat. You must be a reincarnated starving ghost."
Luo Shimiao instantly became annoyed. She was hungry and wanted to eat, what was it to her? Was she jealous that she ate a lot but didn't gain weight? Definitely, women's jealousy is really terrible, sob sob.
Luo Shimiao was not one to back down: "Do you live by the sea? You're being way too nosy!"
One kill!
"Tell me the truth, are you a descendant of Archimedes? All you do is argue all day long."
Double kill!
He glanced at Qiao Zhixi from head to toe and continued, "Do you think everyone is like you, eating only two grains of rice a day and making yourself stunted, with your front and back as straight as a brick?"
Triple Kill
Qiao Zhixi: "You...I...you you."
"What do you mean, 'you'? You only grew a head to make yourself look taller?"
Quadra kill!
"Living wastes air, dying wastes land, and being neither alive nor dead wastes money!"
Pentakill!
Qiao Zhixi was no match for Luo Shimiao; she trembled with anger and gasped for breath.
Huang Zongyi quickly stepped in to smooth things over: "Zhixi, I'm not trying to be mean, but when have you ever won? You never learn. Alright, alright, stop arguing. I'm going to make some late-night snacks."
"I'll go cut some fruit." Luo Shimiao felt refreshed after her retort and ran to the refrigerator to take out the fruit she had bought that day.
Gu Nian followed Luo Shimiao and asked, "Do you need any help?"
Luo Shimiao didn't stand on ceremony: "Wash the grapes clean."
Gu Nian: "Okay."
Luo Shimiao went to the kitchen and found a large plate and a fruit knife.
There are many mosquitoes on summer nights, so the dining table that was originally placed outside was moved into the living room.
Luo Shimiao tilted his head and stared at the watermelon, thinking about what kind of cut to make.
Live stream chat, bullet comments.
—【She can't even cut a watermelon, can she?】
——【Haha, very likely】
—【All she does is eat, what else can she do?】
In the live stream, there were still many people criticizing Luo Shimiao.
Gu Nian placed the washed grapes on the table and quietly watched the girl who was deep in thought.
Luo Shimiao straightened her head, twirled the fruit knife in her hand a few times, gripped the handle, and swiftly brought the knife down.
The technique was incredibly fast; all one could see was the gleaming silver blade constantly moving, and the number of sliced watermelon pieces on the fruit plate kept increasing, each piece being of uniform thickness.
After cutting the watermelon, peel and chop the mango, place it next to the watermelon, and finally pick the grapes and place them in the middle.
Luo Shimiao saw the remaining mango, picked it up, peeled it, and sliced it diagonally into thin slices to make fruit rolls.
Soon, two beautiful fruit flowers appeared in the very center of the large plate.
An exquisite fruit platter is complete.
Gu Nian smiled at Luo Shimiao and said, "Teacher Luo is truly multi-talented."
Luo Shimiao waved his hand modestly and said, "No, no, they are just trivial skills."
That's what he said, but his mouth was practically stretched to his ears, and there wasn't a trace of humility in his eyes.
Gu Nian: "Where did you learn that?"
While washing her hands, Luo Shimiao replied, "When I was in school, I worked at a bar for a short period of time during my holidays, and that's when I learned it."
Gu Nian nodded thoughtfully.
Live stream chat, bullet comments.
—【Haha, those who said the previous thing got proven wrong, didn't they?】
—[Hilarious! I don't know where they got the confidence to say Luo Shimiao can't cut fruit. Even an idiot could cut fruit.]
—【Beautiful! That's impressive knife work.】
—【That's absolutely amazing. I work in the kitchen of a bar, and to be honest, even my master's knife skills aren't as good as hers.】
——【】
Luo Shimiao stood on the corridor, looking up at the sky. In the countryside, there was no light pollution, and the sky was full of stars, which was very beautiful.
Just as he was engrossed in reading, a hand appeared on his shoulder. Luo Shimiao frowned and, almost simultaneously, grabbed the other person's arm.
"Ah..." A scream rang out.
Jin Hongxuan was thrown hard to the ground by Luo Shimiao with an over-the-shoulder throw.
"Luo Shimiao, are you crazy?!" Jin Hongxuan roared, clutching his sore backside.
His eyes blazed with fury, his usual gentle demeanor vanished, replaced by a dark and brooding expression.
Luo Shimiao narrowed his eyes slightly, tsk tsk tsk, his true colors have been revealed by accident.
"Yeah, I'm sick, do you have the cure?" Luo Shimiao looked down at Jin Hongxuan, arms crossed: "Didn't anyone tell you not to pat someone on the shoulder from behind?"
Jin Hongxuan stood up and approached Luo Shimiao step by step: "You are simply unreasonable, barbaric, and ungrateful."
"Hmph!" Luo Shimiao snorted coldly.
As Jin Hongxuan approached, Luo Shimiao turned her ankle slightly, and a tall figure appeared between the two.
Gu Nian stood in front of Luo Shimiao, his eyes coldly fixed on Jin Hongxuan, and his thin lips parted slightly: "Get lost."
Luo Shimiao stared blankly at the man standing in front of her. Was he protecting her? Were they that close? Did that mean she could borrow a hundred or two hundred thousand when she was short of money?
Jin Hongxuan's face was extremely ugly. Gu Nian couldn't afford to offend him, so he took a deep breath and forced a smile that looked more like a grimace, saying, "Teacher Gu, I was just joking with Shi Miao. We often joke around at the company, right, Shi Miao?"
