"There aren't many snacks at home, so I'll just eat something." He found a few small bags of Red Ginger and snacks that the Three Lonely Wolves usually brought over from his bedroom. He placed them on the dining table and said, "Xin, pour some water."
Happy noticed that when he placed the snacks on the table, Xu Yao's eyes were instantly fixed on the small packages of red ginger, but she did not say anything.
"Ah, I didn't expect our Xin's man to be so considerate. Xin, when you dump him in the future, you must inform me." Xu Xin's good friends seemed to feel happy at that moment because the distance between them had been shortened.
"What are you thinking about, crazy girl?"
"But what kind of snacks are these? Drunkard's melon seeds? Peanuts? Don't you have any cotton candy? "
"You've just eaten. Are you still eating?"
"Eat it or not …" The women attacked each other. "Take it back and show it off."
He intentionally cast his gaze outside the window, and from the corner of his eye, he noticed that Xu Yao had indeed gotten up and poured herself a cup of hot water from the water dispenser. She put some red ginger inside, and when she held the cup, the nervousness and uneasiness on her face disappeared by a large margin.
"What's this? It's red. It looks delicious."
"Red Ginger Water. When my mother was giving birth to me, she lost a lot of blood. After that, she seemed to have fallen ill. The old people say that eating this can replenish her Qi. When I was young, my body was weak, but smelling the Red Ginger Water made me feel better. Later on, I gradually got used to it," Xu Yao said as she held the cup. As she spoke, she sniffed the fragrance of the Red Ginger Water.
Aside from Xu Xin, the other four girls in the area were all meticulous women. They could tell that Xu Yao seemed to be much more energetic than before. When they heard her words, they put on sentimental and sympathetic expressions.
But when he turned his head around, he noticed that Happy was staring outside the window indifferently. He looked as if he was in a daze, and he could not help but be puzzled. "What a coincidence. Happy actually prepared red ginger here."
"That's right. I've never seen you bring it out before, and I've never seen you prepare snacks for the Three Lonely Wolves either." Xu Xin still did not notice anything and just stared at Happy curiously.
"… Forget it if you don't want to eat. It's rare for this young master to be generous for once."
Happy's words caused everyone to fall to the ground.
"A few bags of snacks and you're so generous? You stingy billionaire, there's no justice in this world!"
"Yes! Bring them back to the school to denounce them? Hmph! So many beauties are here as guests, and this is how you treat them? Isn't the standard too low? "
"That's right, that's right." Xu Xin giggled.
Xu Yao silently held the cup, and her face was much more relaxed. However, she was still very puzzled in her heart. Why would a boy hide something like red ginger in his bedroom?
"Xin, have you done the dishes? Why are you helping me?" She cried out in surprise. "Ah, I forgot to fill the tap." She jumped up from the couch and ran into the kitchen.
"You're so careless. Don't break anything." Right when he mumbled those words, the clear sound of a plate being smashed and Xu Xin screamed came from inside.
Swoosh!
The women looked at Happy as if they were looking at a monster!
"Good things don't happen, but bad things do. Eat. I'll go and take a look." Happy's heart also tensed up, and he quickly ran into the kitchen.
Xu Xin was picking up the shattered pieces of the plates on the floor in a flurry. When she saw Happy enter, she was distracted, and her finger was cut by a shard. Blood instantly gushed out.
"Be careful."
Happy panicked. He rushed in front of Xu Xin, and without bothering to avoid her, he grabbed Xu Xin's hand and brought it under the tap to clean her wound. Then, he went into the bedroom and found a bandage before he carefully stuck it on her finger.
Xu Xin's face was red. She pointed at the two ribbons on her finger and asked curiously, "Why is it in this shape?"
Happy answered instinctively.
"This shape is rather eye-catching. It'll remind others that your hand is injured, and they won't accidentally touch it."
"Do you want to tie a butterfly knot of love? You two are so mushy." The women and Xu Yao had stood outside the kitchen at some point of time. They looked at Happy, who was busy, and Xu Xin, whose face was red, with envious gazes.
"Xu Xin, are you alright?" Xu Yao appeared to be much more humane than the women. She walked over to check on Xu Xin's injury, and her eyes were instantly fixed on the bandage on Xu Xin's tender fingers.
The bandage did not wrap around her finger in one circle. Instead, it intersected with two ribbons, making the bandage look like a red scarf. Xu Yao was instantly stunned.
"Big Sis Yao Yao, do you also think that this shape is very strange? Happy said, 'This shape is rather eye-catching. It'll remind others that your hand is injured, and they won't accidentally touch it.' Don't you think it's strange?" Xu Xin even intentionally mimicked Happy's tone when she lifted her injured finger. She looked very mischievous.
"Alright, stop showing off your butterfly knot of love. I know that you two love each other very much. We're leaving now."
"Oh, alright. You can go first. I'll clean up."
"Don't, let me do it." Happy sighed in resignation. "You're injured. If I continue letting you work, who knows how many people will come to cause trouble for me tomorrow."
When the women heard this, they put on expressions that said that it was only natural and that they thought that he knew what was good for him.
Xu Xin swung her bandaged finger. "You're pretty good at bandaging. I'm fine now."
"I said that there's no need. I'll wash the dishes." Happy tied up his sleeves in a familiar motion, but he did not notice that Xu Yao, who had been staring at Xu Xin's wound, had keenly noticed the way Happy tied up his sleeves. It was also very unique. It was what she did when she worked at home. She would first tie her sleeves three times before she rolled them up.
'So similar!'
'How could they … be so similar?!'
Xu Yao finally realized that she and Happy were very similar when it came to certain details in life.
'Is it also a coincidence that Happy has been preparing red ginger?'
Xu Yao's mind was in chaos. She was dumbfounded, and she did not know what Happy and the others had said. She left the secret base while surrounded by the women.
…
Once Xu Yao and the others left, Happy washed the dishes in the house while he thought about his actions that day. He could not help but sigh softly.
In the end, he could not help but bring out the red ginger. He also accidentally showed Xu Yao the bandage he used to bandage his wound. Fortunately, it was just a small detail, and Xu Yao should not have noticed anything.
Happy did not notice it at all.
Xu Xin had already quietly used a broom to sweep the broken dishes into the bucket. Then, she stood behind him in a very light manner. She looked at the bandage that looked like a tie on her finger, and a rare faint blush appeared on her face along with a hint of smugness.
Then, she placed her hands on her hips and stared at Happy's back while he washed the dishes seriously!
…
Once she left, Xu Yao felt very complicated.
When she returned to the campus, her phone vibrated a few times before she picked it up. The voice that came from the other end of the line was very low. "Why did you pick up so late? By the way, did you gain anything from being a guest at Happy's place today? Does Happy have any plans for the time being? "
"…"
Xu Yao was silent for a while before she lowered her head and sniffed the fragrance of the red ginger water in her cup. She raised her bright and beautiful face. "We didn't talk about the game."
