Bathing, Changing Clothes-Is That So Hard to Understand?

Not a word was spoken all night.

"What a monster!"

Wang Dong finally felt she could take a breather and stopped cultivating. But when she saw that Jiang Yang was still meditating, she couldn't help cursing under her breath.

That was one thing.

She still hadn't forgotten the bet she'd lost to Jiang Yang earlier.

So, after washing up, she hurried to the cafeteria to buy breakfast.

"Hey! Wang Dong!"

However.

Just as Wang Dong stepped out of the dormitory building, she heard a familiar voice.

She paused and turned around, only to see Xiao Xiao shyly fiddling with her twin ponytails.

She seemed to have something difficult to say.

"What's up, Xiao Xiao?"

Wang Dong walked over, puzzled.

It was so early that hardly anyone was downstairs by the dormitory. Why was Xiao Xiao here?

And from the looks of it, she'd been waiting for a while.

"Um... has Senior Brother woken up yet?"

"Senior Brother? Who? Oh, oh, you mean Jiang Yang?"

"Yeah! Is he awake?"

"Uh... he hasn't slept."

"Hasn't slept? Was he studying all night?"

"Uh... sort of, but not exactly. Tell me, why are you asking? Is there something you need him for?"

Wang Dong brushed her off casually.

It wasn't that she didn't want to tell people Jiang Yang spent every day cultivating as hard as he could. It was a good thing, after all, and she'd normally be happy to share it.

But seeing how interested Xiao Xiao was in Jiang Yang immediately gave her a sense of crisis. Without thinking, she no longer wanted to reveal anything more about him.

"Mm... it's actually nothing."

"I just... I just—oh, I just wanted to bring Senior Brother some breakfast. That's all."

"Um, Wang Dong... could you take it upstairs for me?"

"I bought you a portion, too."

"Hehe—"

After speaking, Xiao Xiao took two large servings of steaming-hot breakfast out of her Soul Tool.

There were buns, steamed rolls, fried dough sticks, sweet tofu pudding, savory tofu pudding, soy milk...

"Hey, Xiao Xiao, are you feeding a pig?"

Wang Dong was so shocked her jaw nearly hit the floor.

"Huh? Um... I just didn't know what Senior Brother liked, so I bought a little bit of everything."

"Hehe—"

Xiao Xiao shyly played with her hair again.

After a while.

As if she'd suddenly remembered something, she shoved both portions of breakfast into Wang Dong's hands and ran off as though fleeing.

She left behind only, "Remember to give it to Senior Brother for me! Don't forget, Wang Dong!"

Hearing that.

Wang Dong felt her heart clench despite herself.

Something seemed a little off, though she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

"Forget it—"

"I can't be bothered to think about it. Whatever!"

"Someone already bought breakfast, so I can't be bothered to make another trip!"

Wang Dong muttered a few words, then turned and went back into the dormitory.

She pushed the door open.

"Jiang Yang—"

"Xiao Xiao... Ah!!!!!"

Before Wang Dong could finish, there was a loud "Bang!" and she slammed the door shut herself.

Wang Dong's little face flushed red, and her mind instantly short-circuited.

Her head seemed to fill with a huge question mark, leaving her unable to think.

"What the hell? Did the world just explode?!"

"Damn it, who's yelling this early in the morning?! I was right in the middle of something in my dream—I was about to get to the good part!"

"Seriously, what are you yelling for?! Don't you know people are trying to sleep?!"

"Sorry, sorry..."

Seeing several people fling their dormitory doors open and storm toward her in a rage, Wang Dong hurriedly pressed her palms together and apologized.

After quite a while.

Only then did they return to their dorms and slam their doors shut.

Things finally quieted down for a bit.

The reason everything settled so quickly was that it was still early and hardly anyone was up.

Otherwise.

The dorm supervisor probably would have come over to ask Wang Dong what on earth was going on.

Creak—

After a while.

The dormitory door finally opened from the inside again.

Jiang Yang stood at the entrance, his expression perfectly calm.

"What were you doing just now?!"

Wang Dong looked at Jiang Yang, who still wore that unconcerned expression, and couldn't take it anymore. She questioned him outright.

However.

This time, she'd finally learned her lesson and didn't yell.

"Taking a bath and changing clothes. Is that so hard to understand?"

"You—"

"I'm so mad!!!"

Hearing Jiang Yang's same indifferent tone, Wang Dong was completely drained. She shoved him aside and stomped into the room in a huff.

However.

Jiang Yang didn't care. He closed the door behind them, then glanced at the food beside Wang Dong.

"You're eating so little today. Not hungry?"

"You're the one eating so little! Do you think I'm a pig?!"

"Not really. A pig might not eat as much as you do."

"You—! You're so mean to me!!"

As she spoke.

A few tears welled up in the corners of Wang Dong's eyes.

She seemed to have forgotten that she was disguised as a boy.

Seeing this, Jiang Yang, for once, didn't tease her any further. Instead, he instinctively rubbed his nose and looked up at the ceiling.

After a while.

He calmly took all the breakfast from Wang Dong's hands and set it on the table.

"Eat up before it gets cold."

"Hmph!"

"You mentioned Xiao Xiao just now? What about her?"

"Oh—"

Only when she heard Xiao Xiao's name did Wang Dong remember that she was currently disguised as a boy. She promptly turned around and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

She cleared her throat.

Then she turned back and looked at Jiang Yang with eyes still rimmed red.

A moment later.

She said, "Xiao Xiao bought all this breakfast. She said she didn't know what you liked, so she bought a little of everything. Hmph! You sure are popular with women!"

"Mm."

Jiang Yang nodded and kept drinking his tofu pudding.

"Heh! I call you fat, and now you're panting, huh?"

Wang Dong was so irritated she could barely stand it. As she spoke, she glared at Jiang Yang and took a vicious bite out of the cream bun in her hand.

Anyone who didn't know better might have thought she was biting Jiang Yang.

Soon.

Jiang Yang had eaten his fill.

He looked at Wang Dong and asked, "Have you finished eating?"

"Uh... pretty much. I just have to finish this cream cake. I don't usually eat much anyway." Wang Dong answered at once.

Hearing this, Jiang Yang began packing Wang Dong's large portion of breakfast and the rest of his own into a bag.

"Hey? What are you doing? You're not going to throw all that food away, are you? Wasting food is shameful!"

"You're half right, but I'm not wasting it."

"Which half? Throwing it away is wasting food!"

However.

Jiang Yang didn't answer.

Once he'd packed up all the food, he immediately walked out of the room.

He left Wang Dong standing there alone, dazed.

After a while.

She came back to her senses and ran out too, only to see Jiang Yang coming out of another dormitory. A few people were seeing him off.

They were chatting and laughing.

Before long, all the breakfast had been handed out. Wang Dong had originally been waiting for Jiang Yang to come back and explain himself, but when she turned around, she saw him heading straight downstairs.
