Yun Bilu tilted her head up and retorted, “Don’t underestimate me. I got first place in the hundred-meter dash in my sports class.”
Huang Yize raised a finger and shook it in front of Yun Bilu. “Yun Bilu, aren’t you embarrassed to claim to be the first?”
Seeing the dark look in Huang Yize’s eyes, Yun Bilu felt defeated. “Fine. It’s still not bad if I came in first out of ten other participants, y’know?” As she spoke, she widened her eyes, as though anticipating Huang Yize’s compliments.
Huang Yize answered indifferently and seriously, “Yun Bilu, starting tomorrow, run at the field in the morning and evening every day.”
Yun Bilu refused resolutely. “No way! I have to sleep-in in the morning.”
Huang Yize patted Yun Bilu’s head. “You’ll become a lazy pig if you sleep any more.”
“Huang Yize, you’re not being nice to me at all. You’re just punishing me.”
Huang Yize raised his brows, and a dark glint flashed in his intoxicating eyes. “Yun Bilu, are you sure you know what punishment is?”
“I don’t want to know.” Seeing the look in Huang Yize’s eyes and hearing his low voice, Yun Bilu shook her head, her heart thumping fiercely.
Huang Yize stopped teasing her, seeing how nervous she looked. He held her hand and said, “Let’s go. Didn’t you want to see Elder Sister Yaoyao?”
“Okay.”
In the evening, Huang Yize drove Yun Bilu to the villa. When they stepped inside, they saw Bai Yaoyao on the sofa, reading a book about places all over the world. Yun Bilu had specially requested Huang Yize to search for it, so Elder Sister Yaoyao could pass the time and wouldn’t get bored.
Bai Yaoyao noticed that the two of them had arrived and stood up happily. “You’re here! I’ll go cook dinner.”
“Elder Sister Yaoyao, it’s fine. Huang Yize and I bought some takeout food. You don’t have to cook anymore.” Yun Bilu felt that every time Elder Sister Yaoyao cooked, she was reminded of her past, and her mood would plummet. When she found out this out, she hired someone to cook in the villa, preventing Elder Sister Yaoyao from entering the kitchen.
Bai Yaoyao naturally knew how thoughtful Yun Bilu was. She stepped forward and took the bags from Yun Bilu’s hands before hugging her. “Bilu has grown up. You’re so mature now.”
“Elder Sister Yaoyao, don’t praise me. I feel embarrassed.”
Bai Yaoyao pinched Yun Bilu’s cheeks. “Even you feel embarrassed too.”
“Of course. I get embarrassed too, y’know?”
Bai Yaoyao looked at the cheeky expression on Yun Bilu’s face and couldn’t help but laugh. This girl was really the life of the party. With Yun Bilu around, her mood would always brighten up.
While eating their dinner that night, Huang Yize remained quiet. On the contrary, Yun Bilu constantly started conversations with Bai Yaoyao. In the end, she glanced at Huang Yize. Feeling conflicted, she hesitated and finally said, “Elder Sister Yaoyao, erm… I have something to tell you.”
“Just spill. Do you still need to beat around the bush when you’re talking to me?”
Because she was always thinking about this matter, she didn’t notice that she had picked up a piece of chili and eaten it. After chewing it, the spiciness immediately caused her to tear up.
Huang Yize hurriedly stood up and poured her a glass of water.
Yun Bilu took a sip and began to fan herself. “It’s so hot! What’s with this dish? There shouldn’t be any chili in here. Why is there chili? Ahh! I can’t afford to have an allergic reaction again.”
Huang Yize took a closer look and noticed some chili flakes in the food. His eyes turned cold while he comforted her. “Stop eating this. Here, eat something else.” Deep down, Huang Yize had already engraved the name of this fast-food chain into his mind, and the consequence of that was the closure of that store.
