Late-Night Snack

The two entered Dormitory Seven one after the other.

Wang Sheng and the others, along with Tang San, had already returned. The moment he saw Xiao Wu, Tang San moved to greet her, but stopped when he noticed Ye Qiu behind her.

His suspicious gaze swept back and forth between them.

Ye Qiu calmly returned to his bed.

In the end, Wang Sheng beat everyone to the greeting, blocking Xiao Wu at the doorway. "Sister Xiao Wu, where did you go?"

"Why do you care?" Xiao Wu glared at him. But she was in a good mood today and couldn't be bothered to argue, so she generously told him. "I just went for a walk."

"A walk?" Wang Sheng looked confused, then glanced at Ye Qiu. "Sister Xiao Wu, did you cry?"

"Cry? Who cried? Don't talk nonsense!" Xiao Wu was the boss here. How could she admit to crying? Did she still want to keep her position as the leader?

What? You mean last time? She hadn't become Nuoding Academy's boss yet back then!

Tang San had already been suspicious, and Wang Sheng's words immediately drew his attention to Xiao Wu's reddened eyes and the faint palm print on Ye Qiu's face.

Once the thoughts of a complete novice in romance started running wild, not even nine oxen could pull them back.

He felt that his moment had come. He immediately rushed over to Ye Qiu, pointed at his nose, and said, "Ye Qiu! Did you bully Xiao Wu?"

"..." Ye Qiu froze on the spot. How did this become my problem? Did you train your Purple Demon Eyes for nothing? Didn't you see Xiao Wu smiling when she came in?

What Ye Qiu feared most was Tang San adding, You have a way to die! He couldn't handle that!

"How could I possibly have that kind of ability?" Ye Qiu hurriedly denied it. What a joke. If anyone had been bullied, it was him. The Hooligan Rabbit had even forcibly kissed him!

Tang San clearly wasn't willing to let it go. "If you didn't bully her, why are her eyes red? And where did the palm print on your face come from?"

Fuck, are a rabbit's eyes ever not red? Ye Qiu's mouth twitched. "What if I told you I slapped myself? Would you believe me?"

Tang San, whose intelligence had seized the high ground, sneered. "Heh. Do you think I'm stupid? I'm not Xiao Wu. I won't be fooled by you so easily!"

"I..." Ye Qiu was just about to speak when Xiao Wu, having finally finished bickering with Wang Sheng, came over and happened to hear Tang San's words.

"What do you mean, Xiao San? Are you saying I'm stupid?" Xiao Wu glared at Tang San. Other than Ye Qiu, no one was allowed to call her stupid!

"Xiao Wu, that's not what I meant." Tang San also realized that his words had been inappropriate.

"It'd better not be, or Sister Xiao Wu will teach you a lesson! Hmph!"

Seeing Xiao Wu's adorably overbearing manner, Tang San felt as though his heart were melting. "Xiao Wu, tell me. Did Ye Qiu bully you? I'll teach him a lesson for you."

"Xiao Qiu? When did he ever bully me?" Xiao Wu thoughtfully tapped her chin with a finger.

It always seemed like I was the one bullying Xiao Qiu. Then, as though she had thought of something, her cheeks grew a little hot.

Damn it! Why wasn't that person me?! Tang San looked at Xiao Wu's rosy, radiant face. Though jealousy raged within him, he maintained his composure. "He didn't? Then why are your eyes red, and what's with the palm print on his face?"

"Some sand got into my eyes and made them tear up." She held her cheeks, as if recalling something, and the smile on her face became sickeningly sweet.

As she reminisced, she seemed to remember something amusing and burst out laughing. "Hehe. As for the palm print on Xiao Qiu's face, he slapped himself. Hahaha!"

"He slapped himself?" Hearing Xiao Wu's clear laughter, Tang San felt his own face sting. Was this some new method of courting girls?

He looked at Ye Qiu, who merely spread his hands innocently and shrugged. He had long expected this situation. Rabbit really was delicious—soft and tender. He wouldn't let go!

"Xiao Qiu, are you alright?" After laughing enough, Xiao Wu came over to fuss over Ye Qiu.

"I'm fine. Tang San only asked me a few questions."

"That's good." After spending so much time with Tang San, Xiao Wu had learned a little about his character from those Hidden Weapons. She was afraid Tang San might give Ye Qiu a taste of one.

Tang San sensed that something was off. Ye Qiu and Xiao Wu had always been close, but tonight, he smelled something different. He only felt that the way Xiao Wu looked at Ye Qiu had changed. Her gaze had become gentler.

His fists clenched until they crackled, and only Xiao Wu's voice brought him back to his senses.

"Xiao San, thank you for your concern, but I'm really fine!" Had Xiao Wu become polite? No, she only felt that the favor Ye Qiu wanted from her was likely related to Tang San, which was why she thanked him.

Mm. She was thanking Tang San for Ye Qiu's sake. Nothing wrong with that!

"It's fine, it's fine. I didn't think things through and wrongly accused Ye Qiu. Sorry." Upon hearing the word "thank you," Tang San felt it had all been worth it, shouting inwardly, She has me in her heart!

"It's fine. It was my fault. Why did I go and slap myself for no reason? My mistake." Ye Qiu didn't want to fuss over such a matter. He shot a glance at Xiao Wu, who was snickering beside him.

"Yes, it's Xiao Qiu's fault!" Xiao Wu winked at Ye Qiu teasingly.

Hearing Xiao Wu's verdict, Tang San was completely satisfied. Sure enough, his concern hadn't been in vain!

Then he seemed to remember something and brought over a Food Box from the table. "Right, Xiao Wu, didn't you say you weren't full tonight? I brought back a late-night snack!"

"A late-night snack? What is it?" The moment food was mentioned, Xiao Wu perked up. After taking a walk, she was indeed a little hungry.

"Ye Qiu, come have some too! Consider it my apology."

"Oh? What delicious thing is it?"

Ye Qiu, Xiao Wu, and Tang San gathered around a table, staring at the Food Box in front of them as they waited for Tang San to reveal the answer.

He opened the Food Box and pushed it in front of Xiao Wu. "Look, Xiao Wu. Fresh roasted rabbit! I specifically asked Teacher to have the kitchen make it. I used to eat it often back in Sacred Soul Village. It's delicious!"

As Tang San spoke, he kept staring at the box. It was obvious that he truly loved eating it. Yet he failed to notice Xiao Wu's stiffening expression and darkening face.

Ye Qiu happened to be craving some too, and his hand had already reached over.

"Ah! Ye Qiu~" Xiao Wu cried out and slapped Ye Qiu's hand away. "You're not allowed to eat it!"

Hearing this, Tang San thought Xiao Wu wanted it all to herself. Wonderful, Xiao Wu likes it!

He pushed it a little closer to Xiao Wu. "Then Xiao Wu, eat more yourself!"

"Ah! Tang San!" Xiao Wu went berserk! Her crimson eyes widened as she gritted her teeth!

Poor Tang San still hadn't figured out what was going on. "What's wrong?"

"I'll eat your **! Get the hell away from me!" Xiao Wu directly started swearing.

Tang San looked utterly bewildered.

Then she noticed Ye Qiu still swallowing hungrily beside her and shot him a glare. "Ye Qiu, if you dare eat it, I won't talk to you anymore!"

"Hehe." Ye Qiu gave a dry laugh. Tears of fear flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he hurriedly caught them with his hand.

This chef's skill truly was impeccable.

"Xiao Wu~ What's wrong with you?" Tang San asked weakly. Wasn't Rabbit Meat delicious? Never mind Ye Qiu—even Wang Sheng beside them was swallowing his saliva!
