Rong Huai was stunned for a moment, then said vaguely, "You think I'll eat just because you tell me to..."
Unconsciously, he began to chew.
Xiang Yi smirked. "Then spit it back out."
Rong Huai turned around. "No way! Hmph!"
Ah!
Amazing! Amazing! Amazing!!!
The pretty girl is too good at cooking!!!
Xiang Yi found a corner and sat down, rubbing at her sore wrists.
She was tired but didn't want to show it.
A tall figure loomed over, and Xiang Yi tilted her head to see Shi Sui.
He had been on the phone. "...Mhmm, once you deal with it send me an electronic version."
After hanging up, the man pulled out a travel-sized stick-on medication, about the size of two bandaids combined.
"Hands hurt?"
"Not bad."
As soon as Xiang Yi finished speaking, her small hands were pulled into the man's palm.
His hands were clean and warm to the touch.
She curled up her slender fingertips uncomfortably, attempting to retract her arm when Shi Sui gripped her wrist tightly.
"Don't move."
Subconsciously, Xiang Yi stopped moving.
"Zip——" Si Sui tore off the safety seal on the medicinal patch and carefully stuck it on the girl's slender wrists.
Xiang Yi's lips moved. "Actually… it doesn't hurt that much."
"Still acting tough?" A pair of pitch-black peach blossom eyes fell on her face. Shi Sui sighed helplessly. "Oh, you..."
Xiang Yi thought he was going to yell at her, but instead of reprimanding her, he rubbed her head twice.
"Why are you so nice..." he said.
Xiang Yi said quietly, "You've flatted my buns..."
Shi Sui laughed, dumbfounded. "What do you want me to do? Big brother doesn't know how to tie hair. Why not call your second brother to help?"
"Don't..."
How could she trouble her second brother with this kind of thing.
While talking, Xiang Li happened to pass by. Shi Sui beckoned him over to explain the situation.
Then, the knowledgeable medical doctor looked at his sister's collapsed pigtail buns and fell into a long silence.
"..." Xiang Li was quiet for a moment, then sincerely suggested: "Have you thought about cutting your hair short?"
Shi Sui sneered. "You don't know how to fix it?"
Xiang Li retorted, "You do?"
The two men who didn't know how to tie a bun began to childishly tease at each other.
Xiang Yi: "I'll do it myself..."
"Don't worry, I'll find a tutorial." Shi Sui calmly pulled out his phone and began looking for a guide.
Xiang Li raised his brows. Based on ability to learn, how could he lose to Shi Sui?
The two men became so engrossed with the hairstyle tutorial they couldn't help themselves.
A while later.
"Uhm...thank you, big sister, for cooking for us." A tall slender boy thanked her shyly while he stared at his toes.
Xiang Yi recognized him. "It's you..."
The boy who was on the rooftop just now.
The boy looked embarrassed. "Sorry, I...I must have embarrassed you. Sure enough, the teachers were right, I'm a useless piece of garbage..."
"That's not true." Xiang Yi said.
"You're not trash, and you're not useless."
"You probably don't know yet what your talents are, nor what your hobbies are."
"Maybe you will become an influential person in the future, maybe you will find interest in a certain field."
"You're still young, and the possibilities are endless. There are so many beautiful things in this world you haven't experienced yet."
"A lifetime is a long time. It might be painful now, but it's only a short period in what's to come."
"But life is irreversible and can't be retrieved once lost."
"So no matter how hard it gets, you must live on, and live on safely."
"You are an independent entity, so you yourself should be the meaning of your existence."
