When Xia Chuyi returned to the window, the figures of Huo Shiqian and the others had completely disappeared from sight.
She looked in the direction of the school gate, her eyes filled with a deep, unresolved melancholy.
"Wow, looking at Chuyi and her boyfriend, it makes me want to be in a relationship too!" Xu Tian, usually quite gentle, had stars in her eyes, yearningly speaking.
At that moment, just having entered the dormitory, Jiang Shuqin took over the conversation, "Isn't it that seeing her , you would rather not be in a relationship?"
"Just look at our Chuyi's little eyes, so reluctant, so upset, so heartbroken… her heart like a net of double silk threads, tangled with a thousand knots!"
"Ah, it's truly tear-jerking to see, watching the heartache!" Jiang Shuqin held her chest, pretending to be devastated with grief.
Hearing this, Xia Chuyi was quite speechless and finally took her gaze back, turned around, and looked toward Jiang Shuqin with somber eyes.
Jiang Shuqin, caught by her gaze, suddenly paused and said, "Eh, Chuyi, I didn't mean anything else!"
"Don't think too much!" Jiang Shuqin quickly explained.
But the more she clarified, the more melancholic Xiao Chuyi's eyes became.
Seeing this, Jiang Shuqin grew even more anxious and said, "I genuinely didn't mean anything else, I was just trying to make you laugh because you seemed sad about parting with your boyfriend..."
Zheng Yan hurriedly explained.
Immediately, Xia Chuyi burst into laughter and said, "I know you're teasing me, and I was just teasing you too, haha!"
Upon Xia Chuyi's laugh, the atmosphere in the dormitory instantly lightened, and Jiang Shuqin, caught off guard for a moment, then shouted, "Oh, you were teasing me?"
As she spoke, she made a playful move to tickle her.
Xia Chuyi laughed and dodged while grabbing her hand, "Thank you, Shuqin!"
Seeing her so earnest, Jiang Shuqin suddenly felt embarrassed, she smoothed her hair and said, "What's our relationship? You don't need to thank me!"
The other buddies in dorm 201, seeing them , couldn't help but shake their heads and said, "You two, really!"
For a moment, everyone in the dormitory laughed, and with that, the matter was put to rest.
After Huo Shiqian left, the matters concerning the Master and Mrs. Gu were settled too. In the days that followed, apart from studying, Xia Chuyi helped with her mentor's restaurant opening.
Of course, her mentor didn't really let her help much, after all, it was Meng Xingmang and the others who greatly assisted Mr. Guan.
Half a month later, Old Sir Guan's "Delicious Residence" officially opened for business.
As a newly established private high-end restaurant, honestly, Xia Chuyi initially didn't think the business would do very well, considering that "Delicious Residence" had no reputation to speak of yet.
However, beyond Xia Chuyi's expectations, on the opening day, just as the doors were opening, Uncle Liberation Army's father, Huo Zhongcheng, actually came to show support!
Xia Chuyi felt puzzled, did Huo Zhongcheng come here because of her? Or was it because of Professor Bao?
With her curiosity, Xia Chuyi was about to go over to greet him.
However, someone was a step ahead of her. Old Master Guan, unbeknownst when, had already come out from the kitchen and was very familiarly greeting Huo Zhongcheng, "Commander Huo, you're here!"
Seeing Mr. Guan, Huo Zhongcheng gave a heartily laugh and said, "I heard that Guan Yide has come back to Capital City to open a shop, how could I not show support?"
"Speaking of which, a few years back, when your father was the head chef at the State Guesthouse, that's where the food was the tastiest!"
Hearing Huo Zhongcheng say this, Old Master Guan immediately responded modestly, "I can't compare to my father's skills."
