"I'll go with you too, Sister Sophie." Qin Wen also wanted to show off in front of Edward's many friends.
"I'll help you guys too." Dai Mengni couldn't sit still when she saw the two girls standing up.
"Then I'll go too." Gao Fengliang spoke.
"You should stay here. The kitchen is such a small place, and half of the people in China have gone there. Besides, cooking is a girl's business.”Gao Fengliang, who was about to get up, was stopped.
"Yes, Liangliang is right." Edward interjected.
The three of them chatted about everything, all about love and career. The result was, of course, Edward's views were similar, while Gao Fengliang's views were completely different. However, this did not affect their conversation. After all, it was all in the future, and no one knew who was right and who was wrong.
As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers. This time, the meal was obviously not as long as the last time. In a short while, a few girls were busy serving the dishes.
The meat dishes were alluring, and the vegetables were bright. It made people's appetites rise. The results were very different from the last time.
"I didn't expect you little girls to have such ability.”Gao Fengliang looked at the dishes on the table and teased.
"Don't look down on us women. We can do what you can do, and we can do what you can't.”This was the first time Edward had heard Damony say something useless, but it wasn't directed at him. However, he was rather happy. After all, he knew that Damony wasn't a fairy who didn't touch the mortal world. She was still like an ordinary girl. This proved that he still had a chance.
"That's right. We're half the sky.”Of course, the sharp Sophie had to defend the rights of all women in the world.
"Yes, yes, yes. You guys are half the sky. Let me try the dish that you made.”Liang Liang picked up her chopsticks and was about to pick up some food.
"It's quite delicious." Leng Liang picked up a piece of pork rib and put it in her mouth. It was oily but not greasy. It was neither too hard nor too soft. She could not help but praise it.
"You've improved."
"What? That was done by Qin Wen.”Sophie glared coldly.
"No wonder." The coldness was also unbearable.
At the dining table, only Leng Liang and Sophie were chatting happily, while the others seemed very restrained. Edward saw this and had an idea. "Let's drink some wine."
"Sure," Liang Liang was the first to agree.
"What's good about it? Do you still want to recover from your injuries?”Sophie was the first to vote against it.
"It's fine, Ms. Smith. Tell him to drink less. Don't spoil everyone's fun.”The straightforward little historian spoke bluntly.
"In that case, fine. However, you can't drink cold water.”Sophie instructed.
"Got it, Mrs. Livingstone." The wise Gao Fengliang had already seen through it and said deliberately.
"Who's Mrs. Livingstone?" Sophie, who was usually cheerful, couldn't help but blush when she heard someone say it out loud.
With the wine, everyone was obviously much more active, and they were all in a mess.
"Here, try this. I made it.”Qin Wen picked up a piece of pork rib for Edward.
"Thank you." Edward nodded politely.
Xiao Shi, on the other hand, had already drunk quite a bit and was slightly drunk. Seeing the girl he loved being so flirtatious with someone else, he was naturally unhappy. Of course, the naive Qin Wen did not know. However, Edward had seen everything.
"Give it to Lil 'Shi. Lil' Shi loves pork ribs the most.”Edward had the intention of pulling strings between the two of them.
"Okay, give it to Shi Jianjun." As she spoke, Qin Wen also picked up a piece for Xiao Shi.
"Thank you." Xiao Shi replied politely, but he didn't eat the ribs. The more Edward tried to make things worse, the more he would misunderstand. He drank his beer without saying a word.
On the other hand, Liang Liang was much happier. Everyone knew about his relationship with Su Fei, and now they were flirting with each other.
"That was your cooking. I've eaten five or six dishes, but I didn't eat anything you made.”Leng Liang complained to Sophie.
"Who said I didn't do it? This is it.”Sophie said, pointing at the tomatoes mixed with sugar.
"Ah, this." Liang Liang exclaimed.
"What's wrong?" Sophie asked coldly.
" Red and white intertwined, crystal clear, like a volcano piling up snow, creative and unique…" It was a bunch of irrelevant words.
"Alright, alright, don't be silly. Try it.”Sophie picked up a piece for Liang Liang.
"Come, brother, try this lamb with scallion sauce. Dai Mengni made it.”Gao Fengliang picked up a piece of mutton for Edward.
Looking at the mutton, Edward felt conflicted. It felt weird to ask someone to introduce him to the girl he liked's cooking, but he was also blaming Edward for knowing that he still wanted to eat the mutton. "Pretty good. I didn't expect Dai Mengni's cooking skills to be so good.”Edward praised unwillingly.
"Thank you." Dai Mengni's voice was still as calm as ever, as if there was no emotion in it.
Because Xiao Shi, Edward, and Liang Liang were all injured and couldn't drink too much, the meal ended hastily. To Edward, this meal was not a pleasant one. On one hand, he watched the girl he liked treat him coldly, and on the other, he watched his brother drink alone because of him. There was also a child-like Qin Wen who did not care about him. He was really in deep trouble. Xiao Shi was not happy either. Although he knew that Edward had no intention of liking Qin Wen, he was not happy to see the girl he liked treat someone else like that. Sophie had long fallen into the sweetness of love and was unable to extricate herself from it. It was easy for her to meddle in other people's affairs. Dai Mengni and Gao Fengliang joked from time to time to add some spice to this awkward situation. The naive Qin Wen had probably used all her experience on her studies. She did not understand much about the relationship between men and women, but she was very happy to entertain herself and eat.
It was getting dark, and the dim yellow lights were scattered in this small space. It was a group of young children, all of whom were born in the 90s. Although everyone had their own thoughts, they seemed to be living happily in this space where there was no generation gap and no pressure.
"Everyone, do you want to eat some fruits?”Sophie suggested.
"Sure, a fruit after dinner?" Gao Fengliang also echoed.
"I think so." After being silent for the entire afternoon, the little historian finally said something.
Edward's heart skipped a beat. He had been frightened by the fruit for the past few days. Everything was caused by the fruit. Of course, what he was most afraid of was the basket of fruits that Qin Wen had brought. It was the root of all evil.
"Alright, I'll go down and buy it for everyone.”Edward knew that it was impossible to stop everyone from eating, but he absolutely could not let Sophie see the blue fruit. Qin Wen was innocent. He did not want this kind girl to be hurt at all.
"No need. Didn't I bring a basket? If we buy more, we'll have to spend money again." Qin Wen's indifferent words shocked Edward. What he was worried about still happened, but he had to stop it from happening again.
"It's okay. I'll buy some fresh food for everyone.”Edward turned to leave.
"It's okay. Everyone can eat whatever you want.”Dai Mengni spoke.
Edward froze. He could reject anyone who tried to persuade him, except for Dai Mengni. This seemingly magical name made him freeze on the spot.
"I'll go get it." As she spoke, Qin Wen opened the fridge and took out the blue fruit and the basket of the root of all evil.
"Isn't this the blue fruit I gave you? Why is it with you? Didn't you give it to your classmate?”Sophie saw the blue fruit she had bought and shouted out instinctively.
What Edward was worried about finally happened. His face turned pale, but he did not lose his mind. "It's not your blue. I bought it especially for Qin Wen.”
Sophie looked at Edward suspiciously, grabbed the fruit basket, and looked at it carefully. "Xiao Sen, you're lying. This is the one I bought for Liangliang. I specially went to Aoxiang Supermarket to find someone to wrap it. It's absolutely unique. You won't be able to buy a second one in Noel.”Sophie was proud of her well-to-do family.
"Don't talk nonsense. Hurry up and wash up.”Looking at Edward's agitated expression, Leng Liang had a rough idea and quickly stopped this brainless young lady.
"Yes, yes, yes. Hurry up and wash up. Don't cause trouble.”Edward quickly stopped her.
"What's wrong with you two today? Why don't you believe me? There's also a love card I wrote for Liangliang in the fruit basket. If you don't believe me, I'll take it out and show it to you two.”Sophie opened the fruit basket and looked for the card.
Edward knew that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he could only let nature take its course.
Leng Liang was happy and sad at the same time. She was happy about Sophie's feelings for her. How could she make such a young lady do this for her? She was sad that Sophie was cheerful and honest, but she did not know how to see things clearly. She often caused trouble.
Xiao Shi also understood a little, realizing that he had really misunderstood Edward.
Gao Fengliang and Dai Mengni were still foolishly waiting to eat the fruits. They had no idea how many unknown things were happening here.
"Don't look for it, Sister Sophie. That card is at my house.”Qin Wen's cold words caused tears to flow out of her eyes.
Gao Fengliang, Dai Mengni, and Su Fei were all shocked and did not know why. "What's wrong, Xiao Wen? Why are you crying?”
Qin Wen did not answer them. Her tears continued to fall like rain.
" Wen, I…" Edward wanted to explain.
"Is what Sister Sophie said true?" Qin Wen interrupted Edward and asked him this question coldly.
"Xiao Wen, let me explain." Edward was ashamed.
"You don't have to explain. Just answer me if Sister Sophie is telling the truth or not.”Qin Wen's tone was still as cold as ever, causing Edward, who was feeling guilty, to feel a chill down his spine.
Seeing Qin Wen's sharp gaze, Edward did not dare to hide anything. He nodded mechanically and slumped onto the sofa.
"So everything was voluntary.”After Qin Wen said that, she opened the door and rushed out.
"Xiao Wen." The one who spoke was Xiao Shi. He glared fiercely at Edward and chased after him.
"What is going on?" Su Fei was still confused as to what had happened. Of course, Dai Mengni and Gao Fengliang had no idea what had happened.
Edward's heart felt like it was being cut by a knife. He had unknowingly hurt his good friend in middle school and the person who liked him so much. No matter what, there was nothing wrong with liking someone.
He did not know that there was a love confession card in the fruit basket, so he gave it to Edward. However, Edward gave it to Qin Wen on the way home. Qin Wen liked Edward to begin with, so she thought that he was expressing his love to her. However, Xiao Shi was Qin Wen's primary school classmate and liked Qin Wen very much. He first read Qin Wen's reply to Edward and thought that Edward had chased after Qin Wen and had gotten into a fight with him. Edward was then beaten up unjustly. The first thing he thought of was that
