Gao Changchun also followed up with, "Ayun, you must not tell Siyuan that it was me who told you this, otherwise Siyuan will definitely blame me for being nosy. That’s how people are, you can be a thousand times good to them, but if you’re not good once, they will resent you."
"Don’t worry, sister-in-law," Lu Yun promised, "I won’t tell Ayuan."
"That’s good," Gao Changchun was relieved.
The two returned to the courtyard, but Lu Siyuan didn’t want to have anything to do with his parents.
He couldn’t forgive their behavior of abandoning him here without a care, and now that they returned, they didn’t even ask for his opinion before trying to take him away. Why should he agree to that?
He didn’t want to leave.
He and Shen Mianmian had promised each other to attend Beijing University together.
Inside the shop, Shen Mianmian sneezed. She rubbed her nose, who was bad-mouthing her?
Glancing at Gu Jianli outside the door, she lost the mood to stay in the shop and went home early.
As usual on Sunday, she went to the Li Family to study.
On Monday, she brought breakfast for Lu Siyuan, and just like usual, he only ate one of the two eggs while Du Xiaohui shamelessly helped himself to the other.
Everyone had already formed a tacit agreement where the eggs Shen Mianmian brought would be split, Lu Siyuan would eat one, and Du Xiaohui would eat the other. Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⚫𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⚫𝕟𝕖𝕥
Sometimes Lu Siyuan would say to bring one less egg next time, but it wasn’t serious, and Shen Mianmian didn’t mind too much about a single egg.
But this time, Lu Siyuan seemed to be in a bad mood and directly snatched back the egg from Du Xiaohui’s hand.
"Can’t you buy your own egg if you want to eat one?"
After saying that, he peeled the egg and stuffed it into his mouth in one go.
This was the first time Lu Siyuan really snatched an egg back, and Du Xiaohui, who realized what happened, felt very awkward.
Shen Mianmian also frowned slightly.
"Lu Siyuan, what are you going crazy for?"
She snatched a steamed bun from in front of Lu Siyuan and stuffed it into Du Xiaohui’s hand, "Xiaohui, eat this."
Her action eased Du Xiaohui’s embarrassment, and he was not really mad at Lu Siyuan. He just gave Shen Mianmian a look, reminding her that Lu Siyuan was in a bad mood.
Shen Mianmian nodded to show she understood.
Yang Xiaoxi, who noticed this scene, certainly didn’t miss the opportunity to mock, "Oh! Internal strife, huh!"
Lu Siyuan glared at her and warned, "Yang Xiaoxi, you’d better keep your mouth shut. When I lose my temper, I won’t care whose daughter you are."
Yang Xiaoxi wasn’t afraid of him. "Lu Siyuan, I didn’t even mention your name, why are you taking it personally?"
Lu Siyuan snorted and ignored her further.
Shen Mianmian could tell that Lu Siyuan was troubled by something.
"What happened at home?"
"Nothing much," Lu Siyuan did not want to elaborate and buried his head on the table.
He didn’t want to talk more, so Shen Mianmian didn’t press the issue.
Lu Siyuan wasn’t one to keep his troubles to himself. If he’s not talking now, it’s either because it’s inconvenient to say or he hasn’t yet figured it out. In either case, it wasn’t appropriate for her to pry.
Lu Siyuan seemed to be bothered by something all day, having a long face, and he left quickly after lunch, no longer chasing Shen Mianmian around for gossip like he used to.
Everyone noticed the change in his behavior. During lunchtime, while Lu Siyuan was in the restroom, Du Xiaohui couldn’t resist gossiping with Shen Mianmian.
"Mianmian, what’s with Lu Siyuan? Why does he seem like he’s eaten gunpowder? I haven’t done anything lately to offend him!"
