1174 Spicy Crayfish

Perhaps Song Yaoyao was overthinking, but since she could remember, why couldn’t Zhou Manli and the others?

What if there really was a past life and a present life?

Then was her rebirth an accident?

The ward fell into dead silence, and Zhou Manli’s rapid breathing could be heard beside her ears. She dragged her broken body and struggled to move to the other side. It was obviously ineffective, but she was working very hard. It seemed that even if she was a centimeter or two away from her, she would be satisfied.

!!
Song Yaoyao watched her move coldly, and the smile on her face disappeared.

She suddenly stood up, and the chair made an ear-piercing sound on the floor. She bent down to meet Zhou Manli’s eyes. “I think I already know the answer. Thank you.”

Song Yaoyao winked at her, stood up, and walked out of the ward.

Huo Jiu was still standing respectfully outside, surprised that Song Yaoyao had settled everything so quickly.

“Let’s go.”

Song Yaoyao took the lead and walked into the elevator. Huo Jiu followed her step by step until they reached the first floor.

Song Yaoyao stepped out of the elevator and suddenly turned her head. Huo Jiu immediately stopped and asked in surprise, “Miss Song?”

“Don’t follow me.”

“What?” Huo Jiu frowned imperceptibly.

The girl in front of him smiled with meaning. She crossed her arms and lifted her chin. “Stay here and take care of Xu Yue. Do your best, I have faith in you.”

Her last syllable was raised playfully.

With that, she waved her hand elegantly and strode away.

“Miss Song…” Huo Jiu chased after her for two steps. He watched her walk quickly, soon disappearing into the crowd. He opened his mouth and a smile gradually filled his eyes.

…

Time passed quickly and Xu Yue’s body slowly recovered.

The school’s homework load was heavy so Wang Jiayu and Ye Meichen were rushing to catch up on their homework every day.

But every time they took time out of their busy schedules to lift their heads and exercise their sore shoulders and neck, they would see Song Yaoyao sitting by the window, leisurely playing on the computer.

For a moment, they were both jealous and sad.

“So that’s what you call a straight-a student.”

In Song Yaoyao’s eyes, the homework couldn’t be any simpler.

They had woken up early in the morning to read. By now, Wang Jiayu’s eyes were already blurry, and she was about to throw up if she continued reading. She slammed the table and stood up with a loud bang. Song Yaoyao and Ye Meichen were startled.

The two of them turned their heads and looked at her quietly.

Wang Jiayu felt the pressure and coughed dryly. “Shall we go for a meal? My treat?”

Song Yaoyao was fine. She looked at Ye Meichen.

Ye Meichen was already dizzy from reading. Now that she heard Wang Jiayu’s suggestion, how could she not agree?

“Let’s go, let’s go! This weather is perfect for crayfish and a bottle of cold beer!”

Wang Jiayu also got excited when she heard this.

They left immediately, and the two of them pulled Song Yaoyao out of the dormitory together.

…

They arrived at a snack shop, but because it was newly opened, the tables, chairs, and floors were neat and tidy. The shop was equipped with air-conditioning, and as soon as they entered, cold air surrounded them from all directions.

Wang Jiayu took a deep breath in satisfaction. “I’m finally alive!”

Ye Meichen didn’t hold back and immediately ordered three pounds of crayfish. Then, she grabbed two cans of cold beer and a can of cold Sprite from the freezer.

The beer was hers and Wang Jiayu’s, and the sprite was Song Yaoyao’s.

Song Yaoyao held the icy Sprite can and raised her eyebrows at Ye Meichen. What she meant was, ‘Are you looking down on me?’

“Aiya, your brain is different from ours. Don’t you know that you have to take good care of it?” Ye Meichen grinned. “And you look like a minor. I feel bad letting you drink.”

Song Yaoyao glanced at her speechlessly and opened her Sprite.

In general, when the topic of discussion was not of interest, Song Yaoyao did not join in the small talk. Most of the time, it was Wang Jiayu and Ye Meichen laughing and chatting with Song Yaoyao responding occasionally.

The spicy crayfish took some time to prepare.

At this moment, the door was pushed open again. A young man held the door and let the two girls behind him go in first.

“Wow! It’s so cool in here!”

A familiar voice entered her ears and Song Yaoyao turned her head.

“Xue, what do you want to eat?”

This was a restaurant outside the drama academy, so the chances of seeing a celebrity were very high. The customers were all students. Although they would take a few extra glances at the famous ones, it wouldn’t cause much of a stir.

Song Yaoyao tilted her head and looked over.

When Huo Ningxi entered the room, his gaze landed on the slender figure with her back facing them. When he saw her turn to look at him, he pursed his lips and suppressed the urge to hide. He nodded at her in a reserved manner.

“Eh? Miss Song! What a coincidence!”

The passionate girl was Zhongli Wan. She walked over to Song Yaoayao happily. “We meet again!”

“What a coincidence.”

Wang Jiayu and Ye Meichen looked over curiously. When they saw her face clearly, they immediately became excited. “Y-y-you’re the one from Celestial Wars…”

“Yes, it’s me.”

Zhongli Wan’s eyes curved into a smile. She waved at them graciously. “Hello.”

Wang Jiayu looked at Song Yaoyao and then at Zhongli Wan. She didn’t expect them to know each other. She couldn’t help but feel envious.

Although Zhongli Xue was slower by half a beat, she walked over when she heard the commotion.

She suggested, “Since fate brought us together, why don’t we eat together? Is it convenient for you?”

Before Song Yaoyao could say anything, Wang Jiayu and Ye Meichen excitedly nodded their heads.

It seemed that they liked Zhongli Wan very much.

“Sit.” Song Yaoyao nodded. She didn’t intend to refuse anyway.

…

The crayfish was served, and it was presented in a platter decorated with chili peppers. Just the smell alone made people drool.

Zhongli Wan pinched her chopsticks, not knowing how to start. “Ah… how, how should I eat this?”

Song Yaoyao put on her gloves.

In reality, her appetite was average, and she didn’t have a preference for this kind of stimulating food. Compared to the heavy taste, she preferred sweet food.

“This isn’t something you can eat with chopsticks! Put on your gloves first, I’ll teach you!” Wang Jiayu volunteered.

Ye Meichen had already started eating. She occasionally glanced at Zhongli Wan from the corner of her eyes, probably thinking about how to ask her for an autograph later.

Song Yaoyao only ate two before she stopped. She took off her gloves and went to the bathroom to wash her hands.

When she returned, she saw Huo Ningxi wearing gloves and peeling shrimp shells. The whole peeled shrimp meat was placed into Zhongli Xue’s bowl. Zhongli Xue’s hands were clean. She was wearing a white dress and looked spotless.

When she met Song Yaoyao’s gaze, Zhongli Xue smiled embarrassedly. “Miss Song, aren’t you going to eat anymore?”

“I’m not really hungry, you guys can eat.”

Song Yaoyao sat back down and turned on her phone to look at the work schedule of the studio.

Beside her, the young couple whispered to each other. After Zhongli Xue ate a few, she stopped Huo Ningxi from peeling. “I’m done.”

“You’re full?”

Huo Ningxi raised an eyebrow. “You’ve only eaten a few mouthfuls. Do you not like it?” He took off his gloves and grabbed a wet tissue to wipe his fingers. “What do you want to eat? I’ll buy it for you.”
