The Cultural Festival was coming and Ming Shu was going to finish her punishment of cleaning the playground. During that time, Cheng Yan didn't show up at all, as if he had vanished.
"Ah, the rehearsal is over."
"Let's go. Let's have snacks, I'm hungry!"
"Are you nervous?"
"No, I'm not nervous..."
The students who finished rehearsal left one by one. Ming Shu and her classmates still rehearsed, though, because someone arrived late.
When they finished their rehearsal, almost all the other students had left.
"Mengmeng, quickly. I'm inviting you to eat delicious food." Ye Miaomiao ran out, dragging Ming Shu who hadn't even taken off her costume.
Food!
Ming Shu's eyes shone, but she still stopped Ye Miaomiao and took off the costume. She was afraid of being sent to a mental hospital if she left with it on.
Ye Miaomiao found a Huoguo restaurant near the school and invited Ming Shu there.
It was their first time at this restaurant and Ye Miaomiao was unclear about its menu, so she ordered the super spicy dish. As a result, she felt extremely hot while eating.
"Huhuhu..." Ye Miaomiao fanned her tongue with hers hands, tears flooding her eyes. "Mengmeng, don't you think it's too spicy?"
It's so so so spicy!
Why is Mengmeng so calm? How is she not even sweating?
"En... I don't think it's very spicy." Ming Shu picked up some meat with her chopsticks and asked, "Is it very spicy?
"It's very spicy." Ye Miaomiao drank juice quickly. "Mengmeng, I remember you didn't eat spicy food before."
"I also don't know how I ate spicy food before." Ming Shu picked up more meat.
"..."
She put down her juice quickly and ate some meat. Although it was spicy, it was really delicious. The two enjoyed it happily.
After finishing the Huoguo, they left the restaurant. Then Ye Miaomiao answered a call from home and they parted ways.
Ming Shu walked around. Finally she went to the dessert shop and bought lots of food. When she exited, carrying a plastic bag full of her purchases, she saw some people walking toward her and her smile shrank.
Why is it him again?
It's him!
It's him!
Troublesome!
Cheng Yan walked with several people, apparently accompanying them somewhere. He was also surprised to see her.
Then he slightly smiled and whispered to the two followers who had helped Ming Shu clean the playground before. The two of them looked at Ming Shu and winked at her vaguely, then left with the others noisily.
With one hand in his pocket, Cheng Yan walked through the crowd to Ming Shu. "Lu Meng, long time no see."
"What's up?"
"I'll walk you home." Cheng Yan tried to take the bag from Ming Shu, but Ming Shu hid it behind her back suddenly and stared at him with alarm, as if he was going to rob her snacks.
"..." She hadn't been so alert when he showed up.
Thinking of her habit of protecting food, Cheng Yan took back his hand and placed his fist against his lips. He coughed to hide his original intention and said, "It's getting dark. I'm going home now so I'll send you back on my way."
