When their lovely childhood friend returned, they were all in a panic!

As soon as she entered the room, Mu Anqi looked around like a curious child.

Hmm... the room is quite tidy. The bed is against the wall, probably to prevent people from falling off while sleeping.

In the corner of the room, there are some fitness equipment, such as arm strength bars and dumbbells.

The fact that there were no artifacts from the Warring States period piqued Mu Anqi's curiosity.

They've entered puberty, shouldn't they be doing things that are expected during puberty?

After thinking it over, Mu Anqi took another careful sniff.

I didn't smell that unique floral fragrance either, so I really didn't do anything like that.

Suddenly, Mu Anqi remembered another sentence.

The room was clean and odorless; it must belong to either a cross-dresser or a gay man!

The first option was immediately ruled out by Mu Anqi, and there were no women's clothes in the room.

That leaves only the second option.

Is Bai Yu gay?

A storm was brewing in Mu Anqi's mind.

With such a cute and beautiful girl like me visiting him every day, how can he resist confessing his feelings to me?!

Could he really be gay?

However, judging from Bai Yu's behavior, it doesn't seem like it.

In the end, this conjecture was refuted by Mu Anqi.

The final conclusion was that Bai Yu was an oddball.

"Mu Anqi, what are you up to now? What are you doing in my room?"

Mu Anqi was exploring when Bai Yu suddenly called her back.

She looked guilty, as if she'd been caught red-handed, and turned around.

Bai Yu stared at Mu Anqi with a dark expression, holding two tomatoes in her hand.

"Haha... Look around, look everywhere."

Mu Anqi muttered to herself as she walked out of Bai Yu's room.

He looked quite guilty.

"You just sit quietly on the sofa, and if you have nothing to do, come and lend me a hand."

Bai Yu took the two tomatoes and returned to the kitchen.

Mu Anqi didn't miss any opportunity to interact with Bai Yu either, and quickly followed behind him.

"What am I supposed to do?"

"Help me wash the vegetables. It's too much work for you to chop them."

Bai Yu pointed to the green vegetables placed beside him and said.

"Tch, you look down on me?"

Mu Anqi snorted and reached out to take the vegetables.

Bai Yu happened to see it out of the corner of her eye.

Mu Anqi's hands were very white and delicate, with no signs of hard work.

Bai Yu looked at her hands again; there were already some calluses on her knuckles, and her hands were quite rough.

It's not really appropriate to ask someone who's never lifted a finger to wash vegetables, is it?

"Mu Anqi".

"Um?"

"You should sit down, I'll wash the vegetables."

Bai Yu said calmly, "After you finish cutting the tomatoes, start beating the eggs."

"No! Do you think I'm stupid and can't wash it properly?"

Mu Anqi pouted and said stubbornly.

"Uh... then you go ahead and wash."

Since they've made up their minds, I won't force them.

It's nice to have someone help wash the vegetables; it also makes cooking faster.

A moment later.

"Are you really clean? Something feels off."

Bai Yu picked up a leaf of vegetable and her lips twitched.

There were still some mud spots clinging to the damp vegetable leaves.

If you eat that, it'll be so disgusting!

"Oh dear, I didn't see it."

Mu Anqi muttered to herself, her face turning red on one side.

If it were anyone else, Bai Yu would have given them a good scolding.

But Mu Anqi is just too cute, especially her wistful little expression.

This made Bai Yu sigh and accept the fact.

Bai Yu took care of the rest of the cooking himself.

Mu Anqi was sitting on the sofa in the living room, chatting with someone on her phone.

Anyway, her little face was alternating between blushing and smiling.

Perhaps they're in love; young people of this age are all like that.

Bai Yu guessed as she brought out the last of the stir-fried dishes.

"Dinner is ready."

Bai Yu spoke and walked towards the door of Bai Ruoxi's room.

He knocked on the door, and after a while, Bai Ruoxi opened it.

She remained expressionless inside, her slightly swollen eyes fixed on Bai Yu.

"Brother, does she want to eat your cooking too?"

"Sigh, it's been so long since we last met. It's just a meal. Ruoxi, go wash your hands."

"oh."

Bai Ruoxi gave no emotional response, washed her hands, and sat down in a chair at the dining table.

Mu Anqi also washed her hands and sat down in the chair.

Wow, your cooking skills are so good! I never knew that before.

Mu Anqi looked at Bai Yu with great surprise, then glanced at the dishes on the table.

Three dishes and a soup, and they look fantastic!

Jade shrimp, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, blanched bok choy, and seaweed and egg drop soup.

Although they are all simple home-style dishes, they are inexplicably tempting.

"I'm starving, so please don't be shy."

Bai Yu saw that no one was touching their chopsticks and was just about to reach out to pick up some food.

But Mu Anqi immediately stopped her.

"Wait a minute, let me take a picture!"

Mu Anqi stood up, took a picture with her phone, and then sat down gracefully.

Why are you taking pictures?

"Just documenting life~ You really don't understand romance."

Mu Anqi chuckled and looked at the photos she had taken with satisfaction.

Anyway, I'm starting my meal.

Bai Yu sighed and began to eat voraciously.

Bai Ruoxi began eating without saying a word, her posture more elegant than Bai Yu's.

Mu Anqi, like a food critic, began to savor the flavors one by one.

"Wow! It tastes so good!"

"These shrimp are so fresh and delicious, I really underestimated you."

When did you learn to cook?

"Self-taught."

Bai Yu gave a perfunctory reply, picked up some greens, and put them in her mouth.

Mu Anqi ate slowly while watching Bai Yu eat.

It seems... he didn't eat the shrimp he made?

Is it something you wanted to leave for me and Bai Ruoxi?

Silly boy, you should eat some too.

Thinking of this, Mu Anqi picked up a shrimp and placed it in Bai Yu's bowl.

"Thump!"

Suddenly, a sound came from Bai Ruoxi's direction.

The two turned their heads to look, but nothing had happened.

Bai Ruoxi continued eating her meal with a blank expression.

What are you doing?

Seeing that there was nothing unusual, Bai Yu then spoke to Mu Anqi.

"You should eat too, but I don't see you eating anything."

Mu Anqi smiled at Bai Yu.

"I'll pick it up myself."

"Oh well."

After a while, all the food was gone, not even a drop of soup was left.

Mu Anqi patted her tummy contentedly. It was so delicious!

"Why didn't you tell me you had such good cooking skills? I'd love to come over for meals every day."

"Thump!"

Suddenly, another muffled thud was heard, again coming from Bai Ruoxi's direction.

She stood up expressionlessly, turned around, and went back to her room.

"Bang!"

He slammed the door shut again.

This completely baffled Mu Anqi.

What's going on?

Can someone explain this?

Bai Yu's reaction was entirely expected.

It's time to comfort my younger sister, otherwise she might do something drastic.

She's in such a bad state right now.

"Mu Anqi, you go back first, I'll take care of the rest."

Even after she had said goodbye, Mu Anqi was still somewhat reluctant to leave.

Why is your sister like this?

I'll tell you later.

"Alright then, I'll be going then?"

"Let's go, let's go."

"That's it? You're not going to say anything else?"

Seeing Bai Yu's eagerness to get rid of her, Mu Anqi's originally happy expression immediately turned sour.

Bai Yu was slightly taken aback, then smiled.

Bye-bye, drive safely.

"Uh-huh!!"

Only then did Mu Anqi's smile return.

"Click".

After the door closed, Bai Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
