After understanding animal language, the villainous girl is guaranteed to become a heartthrob.

Chapter 688 Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger
"Shuyu, Happy New Year," Jiang Yuan answered the phone.

On the other end, Zhou Shuyu laughed and said, "I just saw Xiaoxiao's post on WeChat Moments. She went to help Aunt Rui make egg tarts early this morning?"

“Yes, that gluttonous girl came early this morning.” Jiang Yuan smiled and said, “Want some? Come over now, I’ll grab two for you.”

Zhou Shuyu said softly, "Mingfei and I are together. I called to ask if you want to come out and play mahjong this afternoon. We just need two more players."

“Okay.” Jiang Yuan immediately agreed. “Then I’ll ask my mom to make some more egg tarts later and bring them over for you and Mingfei to try.”

As soon as I hung up the phone, Fu Xiaoxiao and Deng Rui came over with steaming hot egg tarts.

"Time for egg tarts!" Fu Xiaoxiao said happily. "Freshly baked, delicious egg tarts are here!"

While eating an egg tart, Jiang Yuan said, "Shuyu just called to invite us to play mahjong this afternoon."

Fu Xiaoxiao's eyes suddenly lit up, and her tone was full of excitement: "Great! It's been so long since I played mahjong."

"Mom, could you make some more egg tarts this afternoon?" Jiang Yuan said to Deng Rui. "I'll take some over for Shuyu and Mingfei to try."

"Is Mingfei still here?" Fu Xiaoxiao's eyes widened slightly.

She knew that Song Mingfei was Deng Rui's biological daughter, but she had never had the chance to meet her. She never expected that she would be able to play cards with her today.

“Yes.” Jiang Yuan nodded. “Shuyu is with her now.”

Deng Rui was also a little excited. "Then I'll go and study cookies some more."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow and smiled, "I look forward to your finished product."

Seeing Deng Rui turn to leave, Fu Xiaoxiao quickly called out to her, "Aunt Rui, won't you try the egg tarts we made together before you go?"

“Oh right, right.” Deng Rui stopped and turned around. “Try what we’ve made.”

Fu Xiaoxiao picked up an egg tart and handed it over.

After finishing her egg tart, Deng Rui hurriedly ran to the kitchen.

Fu Xiaoxiao tilted her head and leaned against Jiang Yuan's shoulder, whispering, "Yuan Yuan, to be honest, are you jealous of Mingfei?"

Jealous?

Jiang Yuan thought about it seriously for a moment, then chuckled and said, "No, the more someone she loves, the more someone loves her. I think that's a good thing."

“That makes sense.” Fu Xiaoxiao nodded in realization. “Yuan Yuan, you have such a broad perspective.”

"I think this way not because I have a broad perspective."

"Huh? What is that?"

Jiang Yuan gazed at Deng Rui's figure, a gentle smile playing in her eyes: "It's because I love her very much."

Fu Xiaoxiao was deeply moved by these words.

Blueberry, who was squatting to the side, also fell into deep thought because of these words.

Yuan Yuan also said she loved it.

So Yuan Yuan brought her other friends home because she loved them so much.

Yuan Yuan was afraid it would get bored.

Thinking of this, Blueberry was moved to tears.

Pudding noticed its change in mood and turned its head to look at it suspiciously. "Meow? What's wrong with you?"

Blueberry didn't want her friends to see her vulnerable side, so she jumped off the sofa and found a place to hide.

Pudding frowned, his fluffy little face showing confusion: This is really inexplicable!

At 2:30 p.m., Jiang Yuan and Fu Xiaoxiao arrived at the club with the desserts that Deng Rui had packed.

"These are butter cookies and egg tarts baked by my mom." Jiang Yuan opened the desserts. "They taste pretty good, you guys should try them."

"Aunt Rui is amazing!" Zhou Shuyu praised. "This is no different from what you buy outside."

"Auntie, you're so skillful!" Song Mingfei praised while taking pictures with her phone. "It smells so good and looks delicious." Fu Xiaoxiao, just like when others praised her, said proudly, "It's very delicious, not too sweet or bland, fragrant but not greasy."

Jiang Yuan turned her head to look at her, finding it amusing.

"Come on." Fu Xiaoxiao turned on the recording mode, held up her phone, and said, "Record a video to give Aunt Rui some positive feedback."

Zhou Shuyu and Song Mingfei ate their desserts very cooperatively, giving a thumbs up.

Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow, immediately guessing Fu Xiaoxiao's intention, and teased, "Xiaoxiao, you're so dedicated, next time your Aunt Rui sees you, won't she bake a giant egg tart as a reward for you?"

"Hehe~" Fu Xiaoxiao winked at her, "Don't be jealous, I'll share half of the giant egg tart with you."

"Okay, I'm looking forward to it."

After chatting for a while, the group sat down at the mahjong table.

Song Mingfei arranged the cards in front of her and explained somewhat awkwardly, "I rarely play mahjong, so I'm a novice. I might be a little slow in playing, so please don't mind."

“It’s okay, we rarely play mahjong,” Fu Xiaoxiao comforted her. “I think I’m still a beginner, so there’s no need to feel pressured.”

After playing a few rounds, Fu Xiaoxiao stared at Song Mingfei with her clear, innocent eyes and asked, "Do you really rarely play mahjong?"

Song Mingfei nodded honestly: "Really."

"Then why do you keep touching yourself every time?"

"It might just be a lucky coincidence..."

Fu Xiaoxiao strongly suspects that Song Mingfei is pretending to be weak while actually being strong.

This isn't a mahjong novice at all; in her eyes, she's clearly a mahjong master.

After playing for three hours straight, the final result was that Fu Xiaoxiao's family lost to all three families.

"Aaaaaah, how could this happen?" Fu Xiaoxiao couldn't accept such a cruel reality and wailed, slumped over the mahjong table, "How could I be so bad at this?"

It was Song Mingfei's first time playing with Fu Xiaoxiao. Seeing her crying with her head on the table, she tugged at Zhou Shuyu's sleeve anxiously and whispered, "Should we return the money?"

Zhou Shuyu couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Don't worry, Xiaoxiao isn't unable to afford to lose the money; she just can't accept losing three times out of one."

Song Mingfei nodded in realization, "Then what do we do now?"

"Just coax her and she'll be fine."

"Huh? How do I coax her?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Yuan raised her hand and patted Fu Xiaoxiao's head, saying seriously, "What nonsense are you talking about? It's not that you're unlucky, it's just that the position you're sitting in today is bad, affecting your luck."

Fu Xiaoxiao looked up and nodded in strong agreement, "Yes, I think so too. How could we really be missing one player? It must be because of bad feng shui in my seat!"

As she spoke, she quickly stood up, "Which direction does this face face? I won't sit in this seat next time!"

Jiang Yuan took out a compass. "Northwest."

“Northwest, I remember now.” Fu Xiaoxiao said solemnly, “Next time I will definitely stay far away from this direction!”

Jiang Yuan nodded seriously, "Yes, sitting in a different direction will definitely not lose."

Fu Xiaoxiao rubbed her stomach. "What are we going to eat tonight? I've been busy all afternoon and I'm a little hungry."

Zhou Shuyu curled her lips and whispered in Song Mingfei's ear, "See, she's already been appeased."

Song Mingfei pursed her lips and couldn't help but sigh, "Xiaoxiao's personality is just too adorable."

"Yes, it's very simple."

"I envy you so much for having such a lovely friend."

Song Mingfei has lived abroad for so many years, but she has never met a friend she can confide in.

"Didn't you decide to stay in Yunjing?" Zhou Shuyu turned her head to look at her, her eyes gentle. "Let's get together often in the future, we're all good friends."
