Chapter 24: Chen Yuan, I want to eat egg fried rice.
Gossip often spreads through acquaintances.
Because acquaintances are mostly curious about the gossip between familiar people.
It’s similar to how every year during the New Year, aunts and uncles always ask you a lot of questions, and they might say, “We are family, so why wouldn’t I care about others?”
In university, there are always confession walls, gossip groups, and various things that satisfy the restless hearts of college students.
These things, to some extent, play the same role as the aunts and uncles during New Year.
Basically, most students are quite curious and will continuously spread all sorts of rumors.
As for Yu Enqi, she is on the school beauty list. Although she is already in her third year and most people are aware of Chen Yuan’s existence, most boys have lost interest in her.
However, her topic of discussion still exists, even if it doesn’t reach the level of being widely known throughout the school.
And this matter concerns Chen Yuan, so through a series of potential connections, after a whole afternoon of fermentation, it eventually reached a few of her roommates…
“I knew it would happen sooner or later…” Li Hua said indignantly.
He never liked Yu Enqi, but since she is Chen Yuan’s girlfriend, he didn’t want to say anything negative about her in front of Chen Yuan, though it was obvious to anyone with clear eyes.
“I’ll see what the situation is.”
Huang Zhisheng took out his phone, and it was a photo of a barbecue restaurant sent by Liu Yuhang from some gossip group, which contained remarks about Yu Enqi and Chen Yuan’s unhappy breakup.
“Who’s the girl next to Lao Chen?” Tan Haoxin, with a pair of eyes good at spotting beauty in life, quickly caught sight of the white-haired beauty in the photo.
“……”
“You just know how to look at legs!” Li Hua called him out.
“Exactly, Lao Chen is heartbroken, focus on the main point,” Huang Zhisheng laughed.
“Make a call and ask.”
“He might not answer, just go find him.”
“But what if he’s not home?”
“If he’s not home, we’ll have to call the police.”
“Hahaha……”
…..
After a while, Liu Yuhang tentatively asked where Chen Yuan was and if he was okay.
Chen Yuan quickly broke the news about being at home, and the few of them planned to go find him.
“Let’s go, his girlfriend is gone, we won’t be drunk until we get back, we’ll keep him company until dawn,” Huang Zhisheng said loyally.
“Right now, only Hua Zi has a girlfriend left! Kicked out of our dorm 250!”
Hua Zi naturally referred to Li Hua.
He looked quite charming and had always found it easy to interact with girls, so having a girlfriend was very normal.
He and his girlfriend have known each other since childhood and have been together for many years.
Li Hua snorted disdainfully, “What’s so impressive about you bunch from Nantong…”
Who forces their roommate to dress in women’s clothes, I ask?
“The main thing is that the girls in this school don’t look as good even with makeup as you do in women’s clothes. We’re just spoiled by your taste,” Luo Zichuan said, moving closer while holding his phone, opening a certain shopping app, displaying a lip gloss priced at 9.9 with free shipping…
“Come on, pick a color…”
Li Hua: “……”
“Get lost! Why don’t you put it on yourself! d*mn, are you going to make a monkey put it on its b*tt before you buy it for me?”
After saying that, Li Hua used his weak fist to hit Luo Zichuan.
But obviously, it had no power at all, and it even felt nice to Luo Zichuan.
The group slowly descended the mountain, heading directly to the community where Chen Yuan lived, stopping by the convenience store below to each grab a few bottles of Snow beer.
“Guys, aren’t we just going to drink?”
Halfway while still carrying the beer, someone raised an objection.
“Never mind, let Lao Chen fry up a couple of plates of peanuts,” Huang Zhisheng suggested.
“6……”
“Forget it, let’s buy some fried skewers or something instead.”
“Let’s go, let’s go.”
The group joked around; they definitely couldn’t just head up like this.
Lao Chen just had a breakup; would they really have him fry peanuts?
Actually, it was mainly because the peanuts wouldn’t be enough to eat…
They’d just finished climbing the mountain and were still hungry.
Subsequently, the group turned back to the street, looking for a place to order some food.
…..
At this moment, Chen Yuan at home was unaware that several burly men carrying large beers were about to arrive.
He was in the kitchen personally cooking for Cu.
Though his cooking skills were a bit rusty, it was no big deal.
The reason he was cooking so late was that he had just taken Cu to the supermarket to buy daily necessities.
Tissues, cups, toothbrushes, and female sanitary products, among other things…
“I hope she doesn’t need me to teach her how to use sanitary pads…”
Chen Yuan fell into contemplation while passing the sanitary pad aisle in the supermarket…
But he definitely had to buy them; if anything, he could let her figure it out slowly.
Originally, he wanted to ask her if she wanted to eat the skewers downstairs or if she wanted to eat BBQ or something else. There weren’t many dining options in University Town, and he couldn’t find any particularly special restaurants.
However, Cu said something rather special: I want to eat what you make…
When she looked in the fridge today, Cu found many ingredients, and she suddenly craved the meals cooked by Chen Yuan himself.
In the past when she was in Nix Kingdom, Chen Yuan had cooked for her before, and she felt a bit nostalgic.
“But there’s no leftover rice…”
Faced with the request of Your Majesty the Queen to eat egg fried rice, Chen Yuan was genuinely helpless…
Are you a wolf?
You won’t eat fish and meat; you want to eat d*mn fried rice!
I’m really… d*mn!
Cu just stared at Chen Yuan with her light blue eyes, her white eyelashes like snow, sparkling as she looked at him…
“Chill out…”
So.
Chen Yuan quickly steamed a pot of fresh rice and got busy in the kitchen.
He definitely couldn’t just make her one plate of egg fried rice; he needed to cook her several dishes.
Cu obediently sat on the living room sofa, fiddling with her phone, occasionally taking photos of Chen Yuan in the kitchen and happily setting them as wallpaper.
She learned very quickly, and using a phone wasn’t difficult.
At least for normally thinking young people, this thing is like a toy—fun and interesting.
Just like a three-year-old child can skillfully use a phone to scroll through pictures of beautiful women…
Question: Why do many elderly people find it particularly difficult to use smartphones…
You really asked?! How would I know!
Anyway, when I set an alarm for my grandma, she thinks I must be a well-read person—this is an intellectual!
Then she starts bragging to her neighbor’s grandmother about how amazing her grandson is…
Ah… My grandson sets alarms very accurately~
Cu then opened WeChat, and at this moment, her WeChat contacts only had Chen Yuan in it.
She had changed Chen Yuan’s remark from “GG” to just “Chen Yuan.”
She thought about changing it to “teacher” or something, but it felt a bit off, and she couldn’t really say why…
It felt different to call him “teacher” on the phone compared to in real life.
In reality, calling him “teacher” would seem closer, but on the phone, using his name felt more intimate…
It was just very strange…
Let’s switch perspectives: I actually feel the opposite about teachers.
I prefer Chen Yuan to call me by my name in real life, rather than “Your Majesty the Queen.”
But for mobile, if I noted myself as “Your Majesty the Queen,” it seems I prefer that…
So strange…
Is this the strange way of communication in this world?
“Alright, wash your hands and let’s eat.”
Chen Yuan finished cooking and came out with a big plate and small plates of food.
Seeing this, Cu quickly put down her phone and followed Chen Yuan into the kitchen, wearing her newly bought white slippers.
She looked at Chen Yuan, who was wearing an apron, and felt it was very wonderful…
This word is happiness.
The prince and princess from the fairytale lived…
