When Yong Xi arrived, the girls in the kitchen had already heard the commotion early on.
Minal was the first to peek her head out of the kitchen to check, and seeing it was that wild girl Yong Xi, she imdiately turned back to share the terrifying news with everyone!
And so...
The girls who had originally finished washing the ingredients and should have gone out stayed in the kitchen, continuing to cut vegetables. No one wanted to go out and et that girl Yong Xi, who left a bad impression!
The attentive Pu Sangzhi silently paid attention to Mu Mu’s reaction at once.
Don’t be fooled by Mu Mu happily chopping vegetables with her head down. Pu Sangzhi could see that her entire aura had cooled, losing the excitent she had when she left ho this morning.
This morning, Mu Mu had excitedly pulled Pu Sangzhi aside, quietly asking how she could naturally restore things with Yong Mu today?
But as soon as Yong Xi arrived...
Pu Sangzhi knew that the childhood sweethearts wouldn’t be able to act naturally for the whole day.
"That wild girl just won’t leave!"
Minal peeked out from the kitchen for the nth ti, spying on the situation outside, "I saw Brother Feng went to handle her, and yet she still wouldn’t leave!"
"Oh my, she’s even trailing after Brother Feng, shaless! Hey...tui!" Minal made a disgusted noise.
The girls in the kitchen were listening to Minal’s rants, and the four people in Pu Sangzhi’s dorm basically understood the general situation.
But Lu Youyou didn’t know.
Standing next to Wei Zixuan, threading at, Lu Youyou remained quite puzzled, wondering why they were all so prejudiced against Yong Mu’s sister?
Eventually, Lu Youyou couldn’t help but quietly ask Wei Zixuan, "Why is everyone so unwelcoming to Yong Mu’s sister?"
"Because that wild girl is very annoying."
Wei Zixuan pursed her lips disdainfully, also showing a look of repulsion, "Youyou, make sure not to get led astray by her later. I think we should band together later and just completely ignore that girl, ignore her no matter who she talks to!"
"Exactly, let’s do that!"
Minal nodded intensely in agreent with Wei Zixuan’s opinion.
Pu Sangzhi and Mu Mu stayed silent, not wanting to participate in this topic.
Of course, Pu Sangzhi didn’t talk about this topic simply because she didn’t want to participate in the discussion.
In her heart, she hoped that it would be better if no one discussed it, so that Mu Mu wouldn’t take it too seriously.
Anyway, since Yong Xi was already here, it wouldn’t be useful to discuss it further. Better to silently get through this gathering...
"Is this suitable?"
Lu Youyou was a bit clueless, "But, that girl is Yong Mu’s sister, aren’t we also technically having this gathering at her house? Wouldn’t it be bad to give her the cold shoulder like that?"
Minal dashed to Lu Youyou’s side, leaning against the kitchen counter seriously, "But this is also our gathering, we didn’t invite her! If she’s forcing her way in to cause trouble, if we can’t drive her away, we definitely have to give her the cold shoulder!"
"But Youyou’s point isn’t entirely unreasonable either."
Wei Zixuan sowhat supported Lu Youyou’s view, "I think it’s like this, if that girl dares to bully our Mu Mu, we’ll collectively give her the cold shoulder, ignore her, and if need be, we’ll all leave with Mu Mu. But if she behaves normally, we can just be polite to her."
Minal also considered Wei Zixuan’s words sensible now, "Okay! Let’s do it your way!"
Yet, Lu Youyou still didn’t understand, "Excuse , but why would she bully Mu Mu? Do they have a grudge?"
Just then, as Lu Youyou finished her sentence, there was a sudden exclamation from Pu Sangzhi nearby, "Ah, you cut your hand!"
All the girls’ attention was imdiately drawn, all turning to look towards Pu Sangzhi...
They saw Pu Sangzhi tensely holding Mu Mu’s finger, hurriedly leading Mu Mu to the sink to wash the constant flow of blood under running water...
The alarming bright red sight frightened the girls, making their faces change!
"Go call Yong Mu to get the first aid kit!" Pu Sangzhi furrowed her brows, turning to instruct them.
"Alright, I’ll go right away!"
Eager Minal took the order and imdiately turned to run, her loud voice already calling out before she even exited the kitchen, "Yong Mu—Yong Mu—"
Subsequently, the voices of the boys and Minal’s excited, anxious sounds could be heard from outside, "Mu Mu cut her hand while chopping! Is there a first aid kit?"
"There is, there is..."
And of course, Yong Mu’s anxious voice, "Wait, I’ll call Auntie and ask, I haven’t been back in a long ti, I don’t know where it is..."
Overall, the outside was a chaotic ss.
Hearing the noisy outside, Pu Sangzhi calmly reassured Mu Mu, "It’s okay, ignore them outside."
Mu Mu nodded, her concerned gaze fixated on Pu Sangzhi’s calm side profile.
She took a deep breath, telling herself internally to stay calm, not to panic, as panicking won’t solve anything...
After a while, a few curious boys also later ca into the kitchen one by one, with Huo Feng at the forefront. Of course, he was there to watch the fun.
As long as it wasn’t Pu Sangzhi who got cut, Huo Feng didn’t really care.
At this mont, Huo Feng was munching on chips, peering over the two girls’ backs to glimpse Mu Mu’s sorry state...
Well...
The wound wasn’t shallow.
Since it wasn’t on his girlfriend, he didn’t feel distressed.
"What happened?"
Huo Feng did ask, "The mont the sister ca, you were so lost in thought that you cut yourself?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Pu Sangzhi elbowed him, throwing him a deadly warning glare!
Huo Feng spread his hands and said, "Okay, I won’t say anymore."
On the scene, probably only Pu Sangzhi understood what Mu Mu needed at the mont!
With Yong Xi’s arrival, Mu Mu already felt incredibly awkward.
At tis like this, everyone should tactfully pretend as if nothing was wrong; even if it was an act, the act should seem natural so that Mu Mu could continue to stay.
Yet everyone kept discussing Yong Xi, and even discussing Mu Mu.
Even if everyone understood the situation, they shouldn’t display it so openly at this mont.
Because Mu Mu wasn’t the open and sharing type, and for such an introverted and sensitive girl, what should be done is to save her so face.
At this ti, Gu Erhao and Gu Yihao also walked up. The two guys glanced quietly at Mu Mu, but didn’t say anything, standing silently to one side.
Probably because, ordinarily, they didn’t really speak much with Mu Mu, saying anything now would seem inappropriate.
After standing next to Lu Youyou, Gu Erhao let her squeeze his shirt sleeve, she asked in a small voice, "Is your charcoal ready?"
"It’s been ready for a while now."
Gu Erhao replied, "Now, I’m just idle."
Lu Youyou then said, "Then why don’t you guys help chop the vegetables and at, wielding knives seems more suited for you boys."
Lu Youyou’s suggestion undoubtedly showcased her understanding and emotional intelligence.
She smoothly transitioned the topic, easing what could have been an awkward mont.
Over on that side, Pu Sangzhi also followed up on her words, directly ordering Huo Feng, "From now on, the kitchen is yours, I’m taking Mu Mu outside for a bit."
"Okay, sweetheart."
Huo Feng waved a big hand, giving a directive, "Ladies, head out to the backyard, leave the heavy, strenuous work to us n. Right, Big Gu, Little Gu."
Gu Yihao and Gu Erhao imdiately echoed, "Yes, yes."
Just then, Yong Mu rushed in with the first aid kit, almost slipping and losing his balance on the wet floor, but thankfully he didn’t fall!
Nevertheless, he couldn’t afford to care about that too much as his anxiety was high: "I brought the kit, where’s Mu Mu?"
"Here, you help her with the dicine."
Seeing him co in, Pu Sangzhi imdiately motioned him over, planning to give up her spot to let him take charge and have a chance to shine.
Mu Mu did not refuse, and Yong Mu rushed up...
The scene exuded an ambiance that even a straightforward guy could perceive as ambiguous.
At any rate, Gu Yihao could see it...
And Huo Feng quickly played along, "Big Gu, Little Gu, let’s move this food outside. The vibe here seems off, doesn’t accommodate us."
Gu Yihao and Gu Erhao imdiately agreed: "Yeah, yeah."
Then, Huo Feng led a few boys, while Pu Sangzhi led a few girls, as everyone hurriedly left the kitchen with the food, materials, knives, and chopping boards.
Everyone intentionally left the space for Yong Mu and Mu Mu, showing real camaraderie.
At that mont, when all the peers were so supportive, Yong Mu naturally wouldn’t let them down.
He quickly opened the first aid kit, sorted out a lot of dicines, and started disinfecting with iodine swabs...
As he held her finger, Yong Mu knew he should apologize first, but when his mouth opened, sohow he blurted out, "I like you..."
Mu Mu’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing that!
The next second, she stared wide-eyed in surprise...
