Feng Ying and Dong ihua glared with anger at Yang Xuehua’s movents, but having spent a long ti outside, they were tired and ultimately wanted to return to the dormitory, so they still headed that way.
When the two returned to the dormitory and saw Xia Xiao asleep, they both simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief. Yang Xuehua, Wang Aihua, and Sun Yuhua looked at them without saying a word and silently went about their own business, ignoring Feng Ying and Dong ihua.
This made Feng Ying and Dong ihua feel very uncomfortable and unaccustod, but at the sa ti, they were also resentful.
Xia Xiao woke up in the middle of the night, but it was hunger that woke her. Hearing the soft breathing of others in the dormitory, she deliberately fluffed up her blanket and slipped into her private space.
In her space, she cooked for herself. Xia Xiao said to the stone, "It’s a sha you can’t eat, otherwise you could try it; human food is really delicious."
The stone replied, "What you humans find delicious, I find the energy stones to be the most delicious."
Well, Xia Xiao had nothing to say.
"It’s a pity there were so few energy stones last ti, just a bit of Star Dregs—hardly enough to fill up," the stone lanted.
Xia Xiao felt regret too; if only she could take what she grew and raised in her space outside to sell, but for now, she had to keep raising them. Once the vegetables outgrew their space, Xia Xiao could only harvest them, intending to use them for pickling.
"Don’t worry, if it has happened once, it can surely happen a second and third ti. One day you’ll get enough to eat," Xia Xiao reassured.
"I believe so too," the stone gained confidence.
Xia Xiao smiled slightly and, looking at the vegetables in the space, she told the stone, "Please help gather these vegetables. I’m thinking of taking them to Black Bear Cave to dry them when I have ti, and then make pickles."
"No problem, I still have control in this space," the stone readily agreed.
Xia Xiao left her space and checked the ti. It was precisely four o’clock.
Four o’clock arrived; it was ti to prepare, wash up, eat breakfast, and then start work.
"Sister Xuehua, ti to get up," Xia Xiao called to Yang Xuehua and Wang Aihua, and everyone, accustod to waking up at this ti, stirred at the sound of her voice.
As for Feng Ying and Dong ihua, Xia Xiao simply ignored them. Feng Ying was also awake, but Dong ihua was not, so she woke her up.
Everyone began to wash up and then headed to the cafeteria for breakfast. After yesterday’s incident, the relationship between Xia Xiao and Feng Ying had beco even more strained. Although one had apologized and the other had forgiven, everyone knew they could no longer interact as before.
However, Feng Ying clearly understood that her current situation was disadvantageous, so she shalessly greeted Xia Xiao, "Good morning, Xia Xiao."
Xia Xiao nodded her head and even pulled a smile towards Feng Ying, which took Feng Ying by surprise—probably because she hadn’t expected Xia Xiao to smile at her. So, she too managed a forced smile.
Arriving at the cafeteria, Feng Ying eagerly offered to serve Xia Xiao’s al, but Xia Xiao declined.
"Xia Xiao, I just want to help, to make up for my mistake." Feng Ying wore a look of grievance.
Xia Xiao almost rolled her eyes at that when Dong ihua spoke up: "Xia Xiao, Feng Ying knows her mistake and wants to make ands. Let her help, otherwise she won’t feel at peace."
At that mont, Li Shengi had just stepped into the cafeteria. Seeing the situation, she was about to speak when He Xuebing tugged at her, making Li Shengi reluctantly close her mouth.
Seeing He Xuebing appearing here did not surprise anyone, as the two brothers of the He Family would always follow to work whenever they were ho. In the eyes of the production team, although Li Shengi was not so remarkable, the two sons of the He Family were unanimously recognized as good.
"Educated Youth Xia." He Xuebing walked over to Xia Xiao to greet her.
Xia Xiao was surprised by He Xuebing’s initiative but, seeing Li Shengi’s dissatisfied face, she gave He Xuebing a smile, "Mr. He, are you also going to work?"
"Yes, I’m just idling at ho anyway, better to be a working person and contribute to the production team," He Xuebing nodded.
Dong ihua spoke, "Second Brother He, let get you so food."
He Xuebing shook his head to refuse, "No need, I’ll get it myself." He knew his mother’s intentions all too well and did not want Dong ihua to co close.
Dong ihua stiffened, and at this mont, she stopped caring about Feng Ying. Instead, she smiled at He Xuebing, "Second Brother He, how co you and Xia Xiao are so familiar?"
Inside the cafeteria, everyone was paying attention to this scene. Everyone loves gossip, especially seeing He Xuebing actively greeting Xia Xiao, and Li Shengi not stopping him nor saying anything. This made everyone feel surprised, as if the sun was about to rise in the west today.
Soone even exaggeratedly wanted to check the sky’s color, but unfortunately, it was still early, and the sun had not yet risen.
"I happened to et Educated Youth Xia on the train. She bravely subdued a thief, helped a woman who had her money stolen, and resolved her difficulties. Her spirit is comndable, truly a rare good comrade," He Xuebing praised Xia Xiao.
Xia Xiao hadn’t expected He Xuebing to speak so highly of her, and in front of everyone at that. She embarrassingly replied, "It’s not worth praising, anyone in that situation would lend a hand. I just helped a little. Mr. He, your bravery in chasing the thief is what’s truly comndable and praiseworthy."
Gao Jiaxing arrived a step late and overheard Xia Xiao and He Xuebing exchanging complints. He felt a sourness in his teeth, and his good mood from the morning vanished without a trace.
Gao Jiaxing elbowed Zheng Xianghong next to him, who gave him an annoyed look, "Silly boy, even He Xuebing knows to take the initiative. You still rely on Mom."
Yet, feeling pity for her son troubled by love, Zheng Xianghong still stepped forward, "Xia Xiao, when you start work later, you should join your aunt’s group."
Xia Xiao smiled and nodded; Zheng Xianghong then added, "Let’s go, hurry up and eat so you can start working. Your team leader will hurry you again soon."
After Zheng Xianghong finished speaking, Xia Xiao said, "Auntie, you sit, I’ll help you get the food." Saying this, Xia Xiao took Zheng Xianghong’s bowl and went to line up. She left Feng Ying, Dong ihua, and even He Xuebing behind.
After breakfast, everyone went to work. Zheng Xianghong and Xia Xiao walked together, and Zheng Xianghong said to Xia Xiao, "Digging the water channel today will be tough. Fortunately, Jiaxing hasn’t started school yet, so we can call him over to help."
Xia Xiao laughed, finding Zheng Xianghong and her son Gao Jiaxing quite amusing. Although the mother and son often teased each other, they were still very protective of one another.
Later, Gao Jiaxing and He Xuebing walked together. He Xuebing asked, "Do you like Educated Youth Xia?"
Gao Jiaxing glanced at He Xuebing, "Why? Are you also interested in Xia Xiao?"
He Xuebing nodded, "I don’t know, but she suddenly caught my attention." Xia Xiao’s impressive and skillful conduct on the train had amazed He Xuebing. Moreover, she was already beautiful, and he felt as if a brick had hit his heart in that mont.
