Mr. Yan, wake up! Your wife isn't a delicate little flower.

"Close the door."

Cheng Xihe sat on the edge of the bed and glanced at Nan Xi who had come in.

"Snapped!"

Nanxi tossed her suitcase aside, ran to the table, and took a deep breath: "Wow, these smell amazing! Where did you buy these cookies?"

"I didn't buy it; it was a gift from the girl next door."

Cheng Xihe opened the bag: "Try it if you want."

"Wait!" Nanxi was about to open the bag of cookies when she realized something was wrong: "Why did she give us cookies?"

After thinking for a moment, Cheng Xihe said, "I guess it was given to you when I came over for a visit. After all, we'll be neighbors from now on."

"Speaking of which, your neighbor must be someone preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam, right? Won't they think you're a newcomer preparing for the exam?"

Nanxi knew that these two four-person dormitories were specially arranged for senior students preparing for postgraduate entrance exams.

This place isn't far from the buildings where classes are held.

"I heard that this building was also donated by Yan Mingchuan, that's awesome!" Nanxi sat down, opened the bag of cookies, and started eating.

Cheng Xihe flipped through the school map: "We live in a relatively large area, but it's not very convenient for attending classes."

You see, it's relatively close to the School of Bioengineering, but the other schools are quite a distance away.

The most convenient way is to return to your respective college.

Nanxi said nonchalantly, "Anyway, the school is a mixed-use dormitory area for students of different majors. This whole area is full of dormitories, and we're just at the very front."

"Going to school isn't very convenient." Cheng Xihe flipped through the pages.

The school has a campus bus that goes to each academic building.

A bus runs every three minutes, and a round trip takes more than an hour.

Fortunately, it's bidirectional, so it's quite convenient.

"Click-clack".

Nanxi chewed on a biscuit: "It's okay, I drove here, or you can ride an electric scooter if you want, there's a place at school that sells them."

"Driving is fine too, but..."

"Clang clang clang!" Mu Xiaoting came in from outside, followed by a female bodyguard carrying a lot of things.

She ran to Cheng Xihe with a beaming smile: "Sister-in-law! Xiao Xi!"

"Every time I hear you call me 'sister-in-law,' I feel a little uneasy." Nan Xi scratched her ear and looked at Mu Xiaoting.

Mu Xiaoting smiled and said, "What's wrong with it? I'm used to calling you that!"

She gestured with her chin toward the female bodyguard behind her: "Sister Ying, could you please put all my things there for me?"

"Yes, miss."

Mu Xiaoting's gaze fell on the cookies on the table: "What's that over there? Sister-in-law, did you buy cookies?"

She ran over and sat down.

Cheng Xihe said helplessly, "Don't call me sister-in-law anymore. We're at school, let's keep a low profile."

"Okay, goddess!" Mu Xiaoting smiled, revealing eight teeth and cute dimples.

Nanxi patted her on the shoulder: "Can't you just call her Xihe?"

"But she's also considered an elder..."

"Stop!" Cheng Xihe reached out and pressed down on Mu Xiaoting's head: "I'm your peer, don't get it wrong."

Mu Xiaoting cupped her cheeks in her hands and looked at Cheng Xihe with starry eyes: "But in my heart, my cousin is an elder, like a brother or a father."

My goddess got engaged to my cousin, so she's also my elder, like a sister-in-law and a mother to me...

"Stop!"

A warm hand pressed against Mu Xiaoting's head. Cheng Xihe glared at her and said, "Stop with all this nonsense. Just call me Xihe. Eat your cookies."

"Ah, I'll try it!"

Mu Xiaoting took a bite and her eyes lit up: "These cookies are delicious! Sister-in-law... where did Xihe buy them?"

"I didn't buy it, the girl next door gave it to me," Nan Xi answered for Cheng Xihe, reaching out to take it.

Holding the bag of cookies, Mu Xiaoting looked up at Nan Xi with a face full of resistance: "There are only two left, give them to me."

"I'll take one, you take one!"

"You must have eaten a lot!"

The two almost got into a fight over the cookies.

Cheng Xihe looked at the two of them helplessly: "I'm truly impressed."

Turning her head, she saw Mu Xiaoting's female bodyguard put the things away and walk straight to the last bed.

Cheng Xihe: ?

"Hey, you're here too?" Nanxi successfully snatched a small cookie, pressed one hand against Mu Xiaoting's face, and stuffed the other into her own mouth.

The female bodyguard replied coldly, "Yes."

"Her name is Huo Ying. My cousin arranged her to be a bodyguard. She's about the same age as us, and we're going to school together. We're in the same major."

Mu Xiaoting turned her head and saw that Huo Ying had already made the bed and folded the quilt into a neat square.

Nanxi suddenly chuckled: "I just remembered, this is a building specifically for postgraduate entrance exam takers, so no one comes to check."

In other words, during military training, they don't hear alarm clocks and no one checks them.

Cheng Xihe raised an eyebrow: "I'll wake you up then."

"I can get up, but some people don't know that." Nanxi glanced at Mu Xiaoting.

Mu Xiaoting snorted: "My cousin arranged for Sister Huo Ying to sleep next to me because he was afraid I wouldn't be able to get up."

Pulling Cheng Xihe down to sit, Mu Xiaoting said, "Xihe, why aren't you staying at the house my cousin bought for you?"

Huo Ying sat quietly on the edge of the bed and looked up at Cheng Xihe.

Her eyes were calm, her brow bones were high, and her gaze was sharp.

Looking down, you see a pair of hands that are somewhat rough, with distinct joints and thin calluses.

It's obvious they've practiced a lot.

Cheng Xihe said calmly, "I don't want to stay here. It's nice to experience university life a little."

"That's good. I think so too. We're all young and beautiful college students. My cousin is old and doesn't understand us young people at all."

Mu Xiaoting smiled, completely unconcerned about what she had said.

Nanxi, standing beside her, stared at her: "Aren't you afraid that if he finds out you talk about your cousin like that, he won't care about you anymore?"

"No way, my cousin is so good to me." Mu Xiaoting has been spoiled since she was a child.

Fortunately, she didn't develop an arrogant or domineering personality; she's quite easygoing.

I was very popular with students from elementary school onwards.

Huo Ying was not far away. She looked around and then got up to check the various environments inside the house.

"By the way, Xihe, I remember you have a younger sister besides Qin Ruosu, right? Why haven't I seen her?"

Mu Xiaoting suddenly remembered something and looked at Cheng Xihe with a puzzled expression: "I was planning to have her come and stay with me."

"She doesn't live with us; she has her own place to live."

Cheng Xihe calmly replied.

She had already given Qin Shengxia the key to Qi Shen's employee dormitory and warned Qi Shen to let her know in advance if he wanted to go back.

This way, it's convenient for Xiaxia to live alone, and she also has a car, making it easy for her to go to school. Occasionally, she can also go and stay there.

Qin Shengxia was quite happy. She had moved in a couple of days ago and had been taking photos and sharing her life with her frequently.

Nanxi put her arm around Cheng Xihe's shoulder: "She's pretty good. You're worrying unnecessarily. You can't even cook, can you?"

Mu Xiaoting: You've hit the nail on the head regarding our weaknesses.

Looking at Cheng Xihe, Nan Xi said, "Let me tell you, when I went to find Bai Ce that day, I happened to run into your sister."

She's really good at it; she cooks delicious food.

"Xiaxia cooked?" Cheng Xihe raised his eyebrows and looked at Nan Xi.

She hadn't eaten Xiaxia's cooking yet, but Nanxi got to eat it first.

Nanxi burst out laughing: "Hahaha, you haven't tried your sister's cooking yet, have you? It's really delicious."

She said she didn't dare cook it for you, afraid you'd find it unpalatable, so I tried it for you first, and it was amazing!

Cheng Xihe: ?

"Really, is it delicious?" Hearing that it was delicious, Mu Xiaoting immediately perked up and tugged at Nanxi's arm.

Nanxi nodded: "Of course it's delicious. Her stir-fries are amazing! They're just as good as those of professional chefs."

"But……"

Mu Xiaoting scratched her head: "Qin Shengxia has always stayed at the Qin family home and hasn't been to Z City, right?"

"I'm the only one in Z City," Cheng Xihe replied.

Nanxi raised an eyebrow at her: "So what's wrong?"

"That Qin Ruosu doesn't even know how to wash rice. She burned a lot of things when she went camping in high school. I've heard that rumor before."

The eldest daughter of the Qin family, who never lifts a finger to do housework.

Mu Xiaoting snorted: "They're both at the Qin family's house, but Qin Shengxia's family didn't let her go camping, and she doesn't participate in extracurricular activities much on weekdays."

How did she learn to cook? Isn't that a bit strange?

Nan Xi's eyes widened: "Holy crap, Zhang Zhiyue wouldn't go that far, would she? Why is she acting like this?"

"That's hard to say. The Zhang family's methods aren't exactly clean." Mu Xiaoting glanced at Cheng Xihe.

Cheng Xihe's face turned cold.

Nanxi patted Mu Xiaoting, glared at her, and sat down: "Xihe, don't be angry yet. We'll deal with them slowly."

However, your sister really enjoys cooking now; she says it's become one of her hobbies.

"Hmm." Cheng Xihe quickly calmed down.

If her younger sister doesn't like it, she won't let her touch the kitchen.

"Alright." Cheng Xihe stood up, glanced at the message on her phone, and said, "I have to go out for a bit."

"Where to?"

"I'm going too!"

The two of them got up with Cheng Xihe.

Huo Ying, who was not far away, also came over when she saw this.

Cheng Xihe: "It's a small matter, I can handle it myself."

"We're not familiar with the school either, so why don't you take me with you?" Mu Xiaoting immediately grabbed Cheng Xihe's arm and looked at her pitifully.

Cheng Xihe said helplessly, "I'll handle it myself..."

"Hey, hey, hey, if you want to go around the school, I'll go with you. Xihe definitely has her own things to take care of, why are you meddling?"

Nanxi dragged Mu Xiaoting along.

Nodding to her, Cheng Xihe turned and left.

Mu Xiaoting pouted: "You can't take me with you wherever you go, hmph."

"Hey, let's go check out the cafeteria."

Nanxi grabbed Mu Xiaoting, preventing her from following Cheng Xihe.

"Okay, okay, I won't bother you anymore, sister-in-law."

Mu Xiaoting sat back down and glanced at Huo Ying beside her: "Sister Ying, why don't you change your clothes? This all-black outfit doesn't make you look like a college student."

"it is good."

Huo Ying quickly changed into sportswear, tied her hair up in a high ponytail, and looked quite youthful.

After glancing at Huo Ying's outfit, Mu Xiaoting nodded: "Hmm, this is not bad either, let's go."

Huo Ying nodded, closed the door, and followed the two...
