SC Chapter 10

Chapter 10

After the divided hot pot base was brought up, the other dishes followed one after another, including the new additions.

Yun Muye mixed two servings of dipping sauce, giving one to Duan Sirong.

Duan Sirong didn’t react.

“I owe you a favor, now I’m returning it. After this, my attitude towards you will be the same as before.”

Duan Sirong looked at the dipping sauce, the sesame seeds almost filling the entire bowl.

“Thank you,” Duan Sirong’s voice was small, like a kitten a little shy because of something.

Wang Xin ate very elegantly, so elegantly that she managed to make a skewer of mutton seem like a high-end meal.

Liu Lan dropped a piece of beef, brushing it while saying, “Wang Xin, anyone who didn’t know better would think you were eating steak!”

Wang Xin seemed about to retort, but remembering that Duan Sirong was beside her, she pretended to look aggrieved, waiting for Duan Sirong’s comfort.

Duan Sirong didn’t seem to notice Wang Xin’s intention, and continued eating the beef.

Liu Lan and Guo Xi were holding back their laughter.

Wang Xin: “…” I remember you weren’t like this to Yun Muye…

Wang Xin felt like she wouldn’t have a chance.

“Don’t be discouraged,” Yun Muye said plainly. He wished Duan Sirong would find a girlfriend and then never bother him again.

Wang Xin: “You’re so blunt!”

Yun Muye ignored her.

“Hey, Yun,” Guo Xi teased, “Shouldn’t you be stuffing your face with shredded potatoes at a time like this?”

The landlady wiped her sweat, and after bringing up the last plate of food, gave each of the five of them a candy.

Everyone was very familiar with the candy’s packaging, it was the kind everyone loved to eat as a child.

The landlady said with a kind look, “When I was little, I really liked to eat this kind of candy. I see my younger self in you. You’re all good kids!”

The landlady had always been the most amiable on this street, treating the students like her own childhood self.

Yun Muye put the candy in his mouth, the sweetness was strong, but it was exactly this sweetness that Yun Muye liked so much.

“This candy is delicious, where did you buy it?” Yun Muye looked down at the beautiful candy wrapper in his hand.

The landlady touched Yun Muye’s head: “Knowing you like it, good boy, here.” The landlady took a handful of colorful candies from her pocket and placed them in Yun Muye’s palm.

The landlady actually liked Yun Muye quite a bit, he was very handsome, and also very well-behaved, this was her favorite kid.

Yun Muye’s smile was extremely bright after being gently patted on the head by the landlady.

The evening breeze was the coolest, after finishing the last bite in the pot, they all leaned back in their chairs.

Duan Sirong stared at Yun Muye’s slightly flushed face. He hadn’t drunk any alcohol tonight, but it made him even more adorable and beautiful, the stray hairs falling in front of Yun Muye’s eyes, making it hard to see them clearly.

Duan Sirong secretly slipped his hand into Yun Muye’s pocket.

Yun Muye probably didn’t notice, but it was seen by Liu Lan, who had been drinking.

Duan Sirong said, “Do you have WeChat?”

Yun Muye rolled his eyes: “What’s it to you?” Yun Muye naturally knew what Duan Sirong wanted to do, and he couldn’t just give it to Duan Sirong, who knew if he would blurt out “I like you.”

Duan Sirong took a sip of his drink, Yun Muye didn’t know whether or not he’d taken the previous words to heart.

“Duan Sirong, you’re so annoying.”

This should get through to him, right?

“I’m full, let’s go back,” Wang Xin stared at the glass on the table.

The landlady smiled, looking at Wang Xin’s face, which resembled a peach, and said, “Do you even remember the way home?”

Wang Xin crossed her legs: “Of course I remember! Haha! Isn’t it just next door to Yun Muye’s house?”

Yun Muye didn’t care about Wang Xin’s drunken ramblings, Wang Xin lived right across from his apartment complex.

Liu Lan smiled sheepishly and hugged Guo Xi affectionately.

Guo Xi, who was drunk, acted like a girl, leaning shyly into Liu Lan’s arms.

“Who said we’re leaving! I want to fight another five hundred cups!”

Guo Xi nodded like a little bird pecking at rice.

Yun Muye really wanted to smash the beer bottle over those two crazy people’s heads.

After breaking up with Zhu Zi, Guo Xi had learned all of Zhu Zi’s mannerisms.

Now, Yun Muye and Duan Sirong were the only ones who were normal, it looked like the journey home was going to take a while.

But Yun Muye had seen this kind of situation many times, and he had already thought of a solution.

“Let me see which little kid is sitting the straightest!” Yun Muye borrowed a pair of glasses from the landlady, raised the pitch of his voice, and pretended to be a kindergarten teacher.

Duan Sirong raised an eyebrow.

Wang Xin was the first to raise her hand.

“Okay everyone, quiet down. You all know where your homes are, right?”

Several childish “little kids”: “Yes! Teacher!”

Yun Muye forced a fake smile and clapped “happily”, “Good! Then! School’s out!”

The several “little kids” hopped and skipped out of the hot pot restaurant.

The landlady covered her stomach, laughing crazily on the side, she hadn’t expected that Yun Muye still had that childish innocence and cuteness.

Yun Muye was about to scold Duan Sirong, who had watched the whole thing without laughing, when he suddenly remembered! He hadn’t paid yet.

“Kid! It doesn’t matter if you didn’t pay, because, this handsome, well-behaved boy next to you already did!”

Yun Muye: “…” Aren’t you going to say something?

Duan Sirong: “…” I have nothing to say, it’s just because I like you.

Yun Muye looked at the smug expression on Duan Sirong’s face.

Yun Muye was a little embarrassed, and didn’t dare to look at Duan Sirong, he could only ask in the most basic way: “You, what do you want?”

Duan Sirong pondered for a moment, as if eliminating thousands of answers in his mind.

“Your WeChat ID.”

The air was silent for a long time. This method of solving things with money… wasn’t bad, right?

Yun Muye gave him his WeChat ID, and then quickly left the scene.

Yun Muye ran straight home before he dared to breathe deeply, reaching into his pocket to take out a candy to calm down, but unexpectedly, he pulled out a large handful of candies.

The landlady had given Yun Muye five candies, which had now become fifteen candies, the bright colors shining in Yun Muye’s eyes.

Yun Muye opened his phone.

Muye: [A picture of lots of candy]

Muye: You guys, which one of you did this?!

Invincible Liu: What are you doing with my candy?

Xinxinzi (Wang Xin): I don’t no (I don’t know)

Guo Xi: I don’t know either.

A message popped up on Yun Muye’s screen requesting to add WeChat.

The profile picture of that WeChat account was a beautifully blooming jasmine flower, the name was Rong, and the note read: Duan Sirong.

Looking at these candies that were about to overflow from his palm, he suddenly had a bad feeling.

System notification: I have accepted your friend request, now we can start chatting.

Yun Muye quickly sent that photo over.

Muye: ???

Rong: If you like it, I’ll give it to you.
