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

He poured some medicated oil onto his hands and then began to massage her ankle.

With just a slight exertion, the pain made Mu Anqi cry out.

"It hurts! It hurts so much!"

"Then I'll use less strength."

"Be gentle~"

She pouted, looking at Bai Yu who was earnestly massaging her, with a smile on her face.

My sprained ankle hurts a lot.

But it's not a loss!

Actually, I don't think this outfit suits you.

As he was pressing, Bai Yu suddenly spoke up.

As he spoke, he used the heel of his palm to comb up and down the swollen area.

The technique was extremely professional.

Although it still hurt a little, Mu Anqi would occasionally let out a muffled groan.

I thought you would like it.

Mu Anqi spoke softly.

"Why does it have to be what I like? Can't you wear what you like?"

"Because I like you, that's why I want you to like me back."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu fell silent again.

Even the massaging hands slowed down.

He had always avoided such remarks.

After what happened yesterday, I'm even more reluctant to do it.

"See, you're not saying anything again."

Mu Anqi pouted.

He was still feeling resentful, but suddenly his expression changed.

"Ouch! That hurts!"

"You! You! You! You! Are you getting revenge on me?!"

No, your area is too swollen, let me massage it.

Bai Yu shook her head and changed the subject before continuing to speak.

"oh."

"Don't just sit still, flex and contract your toes, that will help them heal faster."

"All right."

Mu Anqi had no choice but to do as she was told.

But as she sat there, her restless little feet started twisting and turning.

This left Bai Yu speechless for a moment.

When I turned to look at her, she still had an amused expression on her face.

"Do you want to recover faster?"

"In no mood."

"Uh... what kind of logic is that?"

"If you're not better, you can spend more time with me."

Mu Anqi continued talking to herself.

"Actually, the day I had a fever, I didn't want the fever to break so soon."

"That way, I can spend more time with you."

Hearing her words, Bai Yu's pain intensified.

Why does my stomach hurt so much?

It feels like there's something weighing on my heart, it's really uncomfortable.

"Isn't that ridiculous?"

Mu Anqi suddenly laughed, as if mocking herself.

"What we used to live in is what I'm now desperately trying to achieve."

"Stop talking..."

"Um."

"That's enough, you can rest here."

Bai Yu put down Mu Anqi's small feet and stood up from the sofa.

After washing my hands, I went back to my room.

Only Mu Anqi remained, lying quietly on the sofa.

After Bai Yu left, she took off the black stockings from her other leg and put them aside.

I'm already very grateful that he invited me to have hot pot.

What I fear most is completely cutting off contact and treating them like strangers.

Her bright, watery eyes stared at the ceiling, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

In the room at that moment, Bai Yu closed the door and leaned against it.

A feeling of exhaustion washed over him, and he gradually relaxed his body.

It slowly slid down the door and finally sat on the ground.

This kind of fatigue is not physical, but mental.

What should I do...?

......

"This should be enough, right? I don't know how many people will come."

Luo Qingyan, carrying the freshly purchased ingredients and hot pot base, spoke softly.

"Qingyan, you paid for this, I'll find a way to pay you back."

Su Ningyu replied in a low voice.

"What are you talking about! Aren't we family?"

Luo Qingyan spoke very seriously.

"Yes! We're family!"

"Okay, Xiaoyu, open the door and let's go home."

"By the way, Qingyan, it seems like you didn't buy any drinks."

What are you planning to buy?

"milk tea?"

Su Ningyu asked in a low voice.

Upon hearing the words "milk tea," the two exchanged a glance and their faces turned red simultaneously.

"Let's forget about it."

Su Ningyu immediately spoke again.

"Yeah! Just hearing about it makes me a little scared."

Luo Qingyan silently echoed.

Whenever milk tea is mentioned, it's hard not to think of that night when I was tormented.

This is absolutely insane...

"Let's put the things away first."

"it is good."

As they pushed open the door and went inside, the two noticed two little feet on the sofa armrest.

"Huh?"

"Whose is this?"

"Bai Yu's feet don't seem that small..."

The two girls were discussing it back and forth.

As they were talking, the owner of those two little feet raised his head.

"Huh? The class monitor and Luo Qingyan?"

"Oh! It's Angie! You're here so early."

Seeing that adorable baby face, Su Ningyu smiled.

After putting down the groceries she had bought, she walked over.

"Why are you lying here? Where's Bai Yu?"

"Oh, he went back to his room."

Mu Anqi forced a smile and spoke.

So, it wasn't just me who was invited...

"oh!"

Su Ningyu nodded, her gaze shifting downwards to her ankle.

Why are your feet so swollen?

"Hahaha... I twisted my ankle on my way here."

"Then let me take care of it for you."

"No...no need."

Mu Anqi quickly waved her hand in refusal.

"Bai... I've already applied the medicated oil myself."

"Okay! Alright."

After hearing this, Su Ningyu had no choice but to nod.

"Angie, we're going to buy drinks. What do you want to drink?"

Luo Qingyan also asked enthusiastically.

She no longer harbors much hostility towards Mu Anqi.

I'm certain I can't lose.

She knew how strong Bai Yu's sense of responsibility was.

"What would you like to drink...?"

Mu Anqi replied hastily, scratching her head.

I want to drink.

"Can."

"How about we just order takeout and have it delivered?"

As a major food delivery customer, Mu Anqi offered her suggestions.

"That's true, it's so hot, let's stay home for a while."

Luo Qingyan nodded.

"Whose phone should I use to place the order?"

"Well......"

When this question came up, both of them fell silent.

They all looked at their own phone wallpapers.

One is a photo of Bai Yu when she was a child, and the other is a recent photo.

They both knew about each other's feelings for Bai Yu.

In the end, Mu Anqi took the initiative to break the silence.

She hurriedly changed her wallpaper and lock screen before opening the food delivery app.

After ordering the drinks he wanted, he handed his phone to Luo Qingyan.

After choosing the drinks, he asked Su Ningyu before knocking on Bai Yu's door.

"Baby? I'm coming in!"

"Um."

His response came from inside the room.

Upon hearing their conversation, Mu Anqi's forced smile vanished.

She lay on the sofa, gradually curling up into a ball.

"Baby, what kind of drink would you like?"

"Qingyan, what are you drinking?"

"this."

"Just like you."

"Uh-huh!"
