Ying Ying listened to He Ying’s explanation, and the awkwardness in her heart instantly vanished. She stared at He Ying eagerly: “Really?!”
He Ying nodded: “Really.”
Ying Ying immediately stopped feeling upset. She dashed over to her storage locker, opened it, revealing a small cake inside a beautifully packaged gift box. Hesitating for a moment, she still took out the cake and brought it to He Ying: “This is for you to eat!”
Ying Ying loved sweets, but since she came to school, the desserts provided by the cafeteria were very limited. She hadn’t been able to grab any desserts for a long time and had even gotten thinner!
This was the limited-time dessert from the cafeteria that she had finally managed to get after three weeks. She was willing to give this to He Ying!
He Ying was so gentle, she really liked her ah ah ah ah ah!
Seeing the cake in Ying Ying’s hands, He Ying immediately recognized it as the cafeteria’s limited small dessert, realizing that Ying Ying was a dessert enthusiast at the cafeteria.
Then she definitely couldn’t give the cookies to Ying Ying, otherwise she would be discovered that these weren’t cookies she made herself, but ones she bought!!
He Ying accepted Ying Ying’s cake, saying thank you, and also noticed the reluctance on Ying Ying’s face.
At that moment, He Ying awakened the joy of an older aunt—teasing children.
“Let’s eat together? There are two spoons inside.”
Ying Ying’s expression immediately became lively, tears of gratitude flowing from the corners of her mouth: “Wuwu, you’re so nice!”
As she spoke, she picked up a spoon, scooped a spoonful into her mouth, and made a blissful expression on her face.
He Ying watched from the side, feeling it was so amusing.
This is what high school students are like, loving to play with high school sisters.
Unbeknownst to her, others also witnessed this scene.
The sunlight filtered through the thin clouds, scattering onto He Ying, coating her with a warm golden glow.
Beside her sat a cute girl with twin ponytails, intently savoring the dessert. Her eyes were filled with happiness and satisfaction, as if the dessert was the most delicious food in the world.
Suddenly, Ying Ying looked up at He Ying, a bright smile appearing on her face. She pushed the dessert toward He Ying, and the two exchanged smiles.
At this moment, time seemed to stand still, leaving only this beautiful picture, making people feel endless warmth and happiness.
The bystanders couldn’t help but exclaim: Wow, the young lady’s temper is really good, I also want to eat desserts with the young lady.
And…
Damn Shangguan Mingyu, rejecting cookies made by the young lady herself, ungrateful!! Shameless! Really pretentious!
Damn Chi Jingsheng, so lucky, getting cookies made by the young lady herself! So jealous, so angry, want to snatch them away!
The circle He Ying belonged to had only those few people, and those who could study together at Hongru Academy also interacted with each other. In other words, within the social circle, news spread extremely fast.
The photo of He Ying and Ying Ying eating dessert together was taken by others resting in the lounge at that time and quickly circulated within a small range.
I heard before that the young lady’s temper wasn’t good, but she willingly eats cake with Ying Ying and smiles especially beautifully.】
Why did the young lady suddenly eat dessert with Ying Ying? If that’s the case, I think I can too, my family isn’t worse than Ying Ying’s family.】
【Because when Shangguan Mingyu didn’t accept the cookies the young lady offered at noon, Ying Ying foolishly ran over to ask for them when the young lady was about to throw them away】
【Ah? Did she get the cookies then?】
【No! The young lady said the sentiment behind these cookies had been discarded, and she couldn’t give discarded sentiment to Ying Ying—that would be unfair to Ying Ying!】
【Damn, this woman is so cool, I’m falling for her!】
【Get over yourself, would the young lady even look at you? Everyone knows she likes that idiot Shangguan】
【If you talk about Shangguan like that, be careful of getting cursed out by his brainless fans】
【Let them come, bunch of idiots】
This conversation took place in a small group chat with only 12 members.
They were the top elites at Hongru Academy, aside from F4 and He Ying.
………
That evening, Shangguan Mingyu and Chi Jingsheng were blocked again during club activities.
Although due to their status, they didn’t suffer any actual harm, it was said they endured quite a bit of mental harassment.
Shangguan Mingyu has a fiery temper and nearly started a fight right there, fortunately stopped by passing student council members.
Hongru Academy has strict school rules; if it hadn’t been stopped by the student council and escalated to the school level, Shangguan Mingyu would have faced disciplinary action at the very least.
Nangong Xiao was also in the inspection team and scolded Shangguan Mingyu for being too impulsive, though Shangguan Mingyu seemed not to take it seriously.
When Ding Yunyun returned to the dorm after finishing club activities, He Ying had just finished washing up and bumped into her face-to-face.
“You haven’t participated in club activities for two days,” Ding Yunyun reminded.
The school emphasizes the development of students’ comprehensive qualities, and club activities are considered an important part of fostering these qualities.
After daytime classes end, students must participate in club activities at least twice a week; studying in the self-study room does not count as club participation.
After all, many elective courses at the school, such as vocal music, physical training, and arts, require further practice during club activity time.
Because He Ying needed to sort out her mind after recovering her memories, she hadn’t participated in club activities for two days.
If she doesn’t meet the required number of club activities for the week, she will be publicly criticized by the whole school and have her parents called in for a talk.
“Thank you, I’ll participate tomorrow.”
“Chi Jingsheng and Shangguan Mingyu…” Ding Yunyun said while observing He Ying’s expression, “were targeted again.”
In fact, she was particularly curious about who He Ying actually liked.
Although He Ying publicly confessed to Chi Jingsheng that day, Ding Yunyun learned from her younger brother that He Ying had previously been especially good to Shangguan Mingyu, and both families planned for them to marry once they reached the appropriate age.
But after Shangguan Mingyu entered high school, he inexplicably got entangled with a special admission student, making Ding Yunyun wonder if He Ying confessed to Chi Jingsheng just to provoke Shangguan Mingyu.
Yesterday, when He Ying heard about Chi Jingsheng’s clothes being cut, she didn’t say anything, giving Ding Yunyun the thrilling feeling of living on the frontline of gossip.
In the past, Ding Yunyun definitely wouldn’t have dared to ask directly, but thinking of He Ying asking her for tofu pudding this morning, she inexplicably gained courage: “Young lady, are you sincere about Chi Jingsheng?”
He Ying exclaimed “Ah,” suddenly turning bright red, and hurriedly ran to her bedroom door, shouting: “The school doesn’t allow dating!”
Then she slammed the door shut with a bang.
Ding Yunyun stared blankly at the closed door, stunned for a moment, her mind filled only with shock.
Was the eldest daughter really serious about this?
She quickly took out her phone to contact her younger brother.
【Shangguan Mingyu seems to have truly fallen out of favor.】
There was no reply for a while. Ding Yunyun’s brother was attending a guqin club tonight, which ended quite late.
Almost right before curfew time, Ding Yunyun received a message from Ding Xuanxuan.
Ding Xuanxuan: 【Holy crap!! Really? Sis, you didn’t tell me earlier. Tonight I argued with Shangguan the idiot and didn’t even retaliate!!! I’m so pissed, I’m so pissed!】
Ding Yunyun: 【I just confirmed it too. The eldest daughter seems to favor Chi Jingsheng more now.】
Ding Xuanxuan: 【When did you get so close to the eldest daughter? Ask her if she could favor me. The inheritance isn’t important—mainly I like her as a person】
Ding Yunyun: 【Dream on. First, cut that milky scent off you. It’s so overpowering, and you still want inheritance?】
Ding Xuanxuan: 【Do you know the market trends, do you know the market trends, do you know the market trends? My style is puppy-like!】
From here, Ding Xuanxuan and Ding Yunyun started arguing.
