"We're here."
Dongfang Ye carried Bai Xuelan to her door and put her down.
She was able to stand up by herself with the help of the wall, so her injuries were not too serious. Fortunately, it was a rest day tomorrow, so she believed that she would recover in a day or two.
Dongfang Ye said," You don't have to worry about my dinner today. Just rest well." Why don't you also rely on nutrition to cope with it?”
"There's no need. There's leftovers from the previous cooking.”
"That's good. Goodnight."
It was really fortunate that he did not have to worry about food.
Seeing Bai Xuelan take out her key to open the door, Dongfang Ye also took out his own key.
"That…"
Bai Xuelan suddenly spoke. When Dongfang Ye looked at her, she immediately lowered her head and hugged her bag tightly, looking up at him timidly.
It was simply different from usual.
Dongfang Ye was a little confused by the slight swaying in her eyes.
Her gaze wandered back and forth as if she was in a difficult position. However, she finally made up her mind and stared straight at Dongfang Ye.
"Thank you very much for helping me today.”
"It's okay. It's what I want to do anyway.”
To Dongfang Ye, if Bai Xuelan cared too much about it, it would be a little troublesome.
Therefore, he easily changed the topic.
Suddenly, Dongfang Ye realized that his coat and pants were still with Bai Xuelan. However, he realized that she would return them in a few days anyway, so he did not turn around and enter the house.
●
Dongfang Ye did not see Bai Xuelan leave the house during the weekend. She was probably recuperating in peace, but he did not know how her injuries were doing.
On Monday, during physical education class, Dongfang Ye saw a beautiful girl standing out in the crowd at the corner of the field.
She sat quietly, attracting the attention of many boys.
When Dongfang Ye and Bai Xuelan's eyes met by chance, she smiled.
During the physical education class, the class was divided into the boys 'group and the girls' group.
Although Bai Xuelan's smile was directed at Dongfang Ye, it caused a commotion among the boys.
"Did she smile at me just now?"
"No way, it's for me!"
"This is a good opportunity.”
A slight smile had caused so many reactions. Should they say that Bai Xuelan was amazing or that they were too naive?
●
Tuesday, after school, in the apartment.
"Thank you so much. These are the clothes you lent me.”
On this day, Bai Xuelan delivered dinner as usual. In addition to the lunch box, there was also a paper bag.
She could vaguely make out the things in the paper bag. They should be the coat and pants that Dongfang Ye had lent her last week. It looked like they had been properly packed and placed inside.
"You're welcome. How's your injury?”
"It doesn't hurt anymore."
"That's good. But speaking of which, you're really popular. A smile can make all the boys motivated.”
"Actually, I'm quite troubled by this. Is this something to be happy about for them?”
"Most good-looking girls smile at boys. For example, when Chen Rui waved at the girls, didn't they also start to babble?”
The " Chen Rui " that Dongfang Ye mentioned was a handsome guy in the school. He was considered the school hunk and was very popular among the girls.
However, Bai Xuelan, who was also a girl, looked uninterested. She asked,
"Chen Rui? That popular person?"
"Aren't you interested?"
"No, I have nothing to do with him, so I'm not interested. Besides, if I can have a good impression of you just because I'm pretty or ugly, why don't you have a good impression of me?”
"Oh, so you know that you're very cute.”
Dongfang Ye replied perfunctorily.
A good impression of Bai Xuelan? He had more or less that, but it was more of an appreciation for beautiful things. To put it bluntly, it was a bonus for looks, not love.
She sighed and said,"
"From an objective point of view, I also understand that I'm quite good-looking, and I haven't been lazy in taking care of myself.”
Bai Xuelan said matter-of-factly. She did not show any arrogance at all. She was just stating the objective facts.
Her skin was perfect, without any wrinkles or dark spots. Even though she was doing housework, her hands did not become rough because of it. Her nails were also well-trimmed, and her figure was well-proportioned and curvaceous.
Dongfang Ye smiled and said,"
"Indeed, what you said calmly is the truth. I won't feel uncomfortable or think that you're arrogant. But if you do that, you won't be shy when you're praised, right?”
"If others flatter me too much, I will only find it annoying.”
"Beautiful people really work hard.”
"There are corresponding returns, so it's not all bad.”
"Why do you sound like it's none of your business?”
"What's wrong? Do you want me to say 'that's not true' with a shy face?”
" Don't, don't, don't." Dongfang Ye quickly waved his hand." For someone like me who knows your true nature, it feels too out of place."”
"Exactly. I also think that it's meaningless to put on that look to you. Instead, it will cause disgust.”
"Yes, I am."
Dongfang Ye nodded.
However, why did Bai Xuelan feel so familiar with him?
Was it an illusion?
However, Bai Xuelan's unabashed way of speaking would still be hard for Dongfang Ye to accept even if he changed it now.
If she treated Dongfang Ye the way she treated him in school, he would definitely get goosebumps. Hence, he hoped that she would maintain her current appearance.
Dongfang Ye had already realized that the natural white snow orchid standing in front of him was no longer the same person as the perfect white snow orchid back in school.
This was good.
Dongfang Ye looked at the lunchbox that she had handed him.
The lunch box was bigger than usual, and there were several dishes inside. It was even more sumptuous.
There were cola pancakes.
The cola cake was made by steaming and frying the potatoes, adding beef, onions, and other ingredients to make a shape. After cooling down, it was wrapped in a coat and fried in a pot. In short, it was quite troublesome.
It was obvious that he had prepared more meticulously and was expressing his gratitude.
"It's quite luxurious today."
"After all, you took care of me."
"You don't have to care so much."
Dongfang Ye saw the fried chicken and fried food in the lunchbox. He had only eaten from fast food restaurants when he lived alone, so it was a pleasant surprise to be able to get such handmade food.
If he was a little greedier, he would have eaten it with rice when the dough was still crispy.
"I also want to eat something fresh from the pot occasionally," he said casually.”
For hygiene reasons, Bai Xuelan always cooled the food before putting it into the lunch box. Therefore, it was necessary to heat it up again before eating.
Although the crispness of the dough could be restored by using the oven, it was still lacking compared to the taste when it was just out of the pot.
"You mean, I can go to your house?”
"No, you've already given me dinner. It's too inappropriate for you to do this again.”
Dongfang Ye shrugged in denial, but Bai Xuelan propped her chin on her hand and seemed to think for a while before saying,"
"If you pay half of the food expenses, I can consider cooking at your house.”
The meaning behind her words stunned Dongfang Ye.
Although it was just a slip of the tongue, Bai Xuelan actually seriously considered it and agreed!
Generally speaking, would anyone want to go to a man's house to cook?
Even if this was more efficient, the other party was of the opposite sex after all. Logically speaking, they would definitely feel uneasy.
"Are you so assured of me?" Dongfang Ye could not help but ask.”
"At least I think you're safe."
"Thank you very much."
Dongfang Ye had no intention of doing anything to Bai Xuelan, nor would he give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to taste the fresh and delicious food.
"Then, I look forward to it."
After saying that, the two of them went back to their respective homes.
●
In Bai Xuelan's room.
"It's better to say that I'm actually too relieved, which makes me very distressed.”
Lying on the bed, she buried her head in the pillow.
