Danger lurking everywhere

Danger lurking everywhere

The barbecue was ready, and the owner brought it over on a plate. The small stainless steel plate was gently placed on the table with a soft thud.

"Eat quickly!" Shen Muwei picked up a skewer of butter and put it in her mouth, her eyes not even glancing to the side.

Zhou Chengming sat at a table not far away, propped his chin up and glanced at Shen Muwei, wondering why she would refuse Xiang Zhixing's request to share a table, since the two of them seemed quite friendly the last time he saw them.

Therefore, there is only one source of the problem.

Zhou Chengming shifted his gaze to Xiang Zhixing and asked in a low voice, "Did you offend her?"

Xiang Zhixing didn't seem very happy. His face was fine when he left in the morning, but it had been gloomy ever since he came back.

Later that afternoon, it rained a little. Zhou Chengming, as if being a jerk, opened Xiang Zhixing's drawer and took out a neatly folded parasol: "Brother Xing, can I borrow your umbrella for a moment? I'll return it to you when I'm done."

Everyone in the dorm knew that no one was allowed to touch his umbrella. Zhou Chengming had deliberately teased him because he saw that he was unhappy, and ended up getting a slap in the face.

To make amends, Zhou Chengming offered to treat him to barbecue. Xiang Zhixing was initially reluctant, but Zhou Chengming said, "I've seen Shen Muwei eating barbecue at that stall several times. Are you sure you don't want to go?"

Then the two of them went to the food street together.

In reality, Zhou Chengming had only met her a few times; the only time he saw her was when she was with Xiang Zhixing.

Xiang Zhixing turned his gaze to Zhou Chengming, took a deep breath, and didn't know what to say, nor did he need to explain everything to him.

Seeing his silent attitude, and not needing an answer, Zhou Chengming knew the answer was yes.

He was even more terrified than the person involved: "If things fall apart, can you still get revenge?"

Xiang Zhixing took another deep breath, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

"No, say something! What's with all that inhaling? Hey, you're not going to think about it again, are you?"

Considering that Shen Muwei was sitting not far away, he didn't dare to say the words "revenge".

Just then, the owner came to deliver the grilled barbecue, put down the hot food, and quickly left to greet the new customers.

Xiang Zhixing also casually picked up a skewer of butter and put it in his mouth. Zhou Chengming slapped his hand hard: "Hey, say something! Are you mute?"

He choked on the slap, coughing violently several times, and subconsciously turned to look at Chen Muwei.

She continued chatting and laughing with her roommate without even lifting her eyelids.

Feeling utterly helpless, he replied, "I have my own plans."

"You better be!" Zhou Chengming also reached for the barbecue on the table, took a vicious bite of a chicken wing, and said, "If not, I just don't understand, have you fallen for someone..."

Zhou Chengming's voice gradually grew louder, but before he could finish speaking, Xiang Zhixing stuffed a large gluten into his mouth.

"This is delicious, you eat this." He said coldly in a low voice, "Do you think people are deaf?"

Zhou Chengming belatedly realized that his voice was a bit loud, and nodded guiltily: "I won't say anymore, I won't say anymore, it's mine, it's mine."

Whether it was the strong airflow from the large floor fan next to the barbecue stall that blew their voices over, or because the two tables were not far apart, Zhao Ranzhu raised her hand to tuck a stray hair behind her ear, her eyes darkening.

Zhao Ranzhu looked up at Shen Muwei, who was watching the new music video of the girl group with Qian Eryun, each wearing an earphone. Her eyes were sparkling with the blue light jumping and dazzling on the screen.

The song was very short, only a little over two minutes long. Shen Muwei took off her headphones and handed them back to Qian Eryun: "Oh my god, the comeback look is amazing. The song is great too, I got it right away."

Qian Eryun: "Right! The teachers in our dance troupe had already studied the dance routines when the materials were released, and that video already has 35,000 likes!"

Shen Muwei nodded emphatically: "Yes, yes, yes! I watched that video, it's absolutely amazing, the strength my sister has is enough to kill me!"

Zhao Ranzhu glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, noticed his gaze, raised a hand to smooth Chen Muwei's hair, and said with a smile, "Alright, alright, eat quickly. This eggplant has to be eaten while it's hot, otherwise it won't taste good when it gets cold."

As she spoke, she divided the two bowls of eggplant meat that she had already picked out into portions for the two of them.

Shen Muwei was greatly surprised and exclaimed, "What would I do without you, Piggy? You're going to spoil me rotten! If any husband I choose in the future can't surpass you, I'll definitely kick him to the curb."

Qian Eryun: "I don't need a husband, Piggy is fine as my husband, I'll follow Piggy for the rest of my life."

Shen Muwei argued, "It's mine! Don't try to take it from me!"

Qian Eryun: "What? It's clearly mine!"

Shen Muwei: "How about a threesome? It's not out of the question."

Qian Eryun crossed her arms over her chest, feigning fear: "Eek! What are you talking about, you yellow trash!"

Zhao Ranzhu smiled helplessly; that was how the girls in the dorm usually talked. A smug look inadvertently crossed her face as she turned her head to the side, only to meet Xiang Zhixing's gaze.

She didn't originally intend to provoke anyone; she just wanted to show the real side of the dormitory.

She keenly sensed the hostility in Xiang Zhixing's eyes, but she was fearless, even upright and honest. She picked up the iced cola from the table with one hand, bit the straw, and took a sip of the cool, fizzy cola. Her right eyebrow unconsciously turned to the right as her head turned, raising slightly.

In the instant she turned around, she saw Xiang Zhixing's clenched fist under the table.

I'm in a really good mood today~

-

After eating her fill, Shen Muwei returned to her dormitory and made a phone call to Ms. Mu Qing to report on her itinerary.

Although Mu Qing doesn't keep a tight rein on her daughter's schedule, Shen Muwei has been in a cold war with her mother for a week, and it's about time. She doesn't want the cold war to continue, so taking the initiative to report is a way to back down gracefully.

The call was answered quickly. This time, Mu Qing didn't scold her; she just asked if she had eaten enough and what she had eaten.

She paused for a moment and said, "The food at fancy restaurants isn't good. I'm like a wild boar that can't handle fine food. After we came back, my roommates and I had barbecue at the snack street, and it was super delicious."

Mu Qing laughed heartily on the other end of the phone: "I can't get used to their food either. But don't tell Grandpa about this wild boar stuff, or he'll scold you again."

"Hehe, I know, I'll just say what he wants to hear to his face."

"Then you should wash up and go to bed quickly, Mom needs to sleep too."

"Okay, goodnight, Mom."

Shen Muwei hung up the phone in a good mood; she was very happy to have reconciled with her mother.

After hanging up the black call interface, I was taken to the main screen, where a red unread icon was prominently displayed in the upper right corner of the green WeChat app.

Xiaobai: [Have you and your aunt made up?]

"Xiaobai" was the nickname Shen Muwei used for him in her contacts. She had kept that nickname for him ever since he got his social media account.

The fact that he asked that question proves that he probably said something to Mu Qing.

Movie: [We've made up, thanks for the kind words, little brother [grinning face]]

After sending the message, she put down her phone, picked up her cup, unscrewed the cap, and drank some water.

Song Yuanbai's message came in again: [That's nothing, but I heard from Auntie that you're in a relationship?]

Shen Muwei spat out the water she was holding in her mouth.

How could Mu Qing talk nonsense like that!

Zhao Ranzhu went to take a shower, while Qian Eryun was removing her makeup in the bathroom. She was rubbing makeup remover on her face when she poked her head out and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Shen Muwei hurriedly grabbed several tissues, hastily wiped the water dripping from her chin, and then went to wipe the water on the table.

"It's nothing, I just drank too much and choked."

"Oh, be careful." Qian Eryun went back inside to continue washing her face.

"Okay, I love you."

Shen Muwei looked at the message, forced a smile, swallowed her anger, and replied:

[That's not true. She started with one picture and made up the whole story at the end.]

Xiao Bai: [Oh, I told my aunt that if I have a boyfriend, I'd like to meet him sometime. After all, I'm a guy, I can help you find out.]

Shen Muwei rolled her eyes; [I don't have a boyfriend! If you keep lying, I'll block you! You choose!]

Xiao Bai: [Yes, sir!]

Xiao Bai: [I'll shut my mouth and stop talking nonsense.]

Shen Muwei wanted to call Mu Qing and give her a good scolding for talking nonsense. Didn't she agree not to talk nonsense?

Just as I was thinking this, a small gray bubble appeared in the upper left corner, with a "2" in the middle.

Another message has arrived.

She replied to Song Yuanbai first: 【That's more like it.】

After replying and exiting, I saw a message from Xiang Zhixing at the bottom of the family group chat that was pinned to the top of my chat list.

The message Xiang Zhixing sent could be seen from the outside:

xzx: [Can we make up?]
