Is bathing and changing clothes really that hard to understand?

The night passed without a word.

"What a monster!"

Wang Dong exited her cultivation state, finally feeling she could catch her breath, but upon seeing Jiang Yang still deep in meditation, she couldn't help but curse.

However, complaints aside, she hadn't forgotten the bet she had lost to Jiang Yang earlier.

She immediately washed up and ran to the cafeteria to buy breakfast.

"Hey! Wang Dong!!"

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

She paused her steps and turned around to see Xiao Xiao shyly twirling her twin ponytails, seemingly struggling to find the words.

"What's wrong, Xiao Xiao?"

Wang Dong walked over, her face full of confusion.

It was early in the morning, and there were barely any people downstairs; why was Xiao Xiao already here? Moreover, looking at her, it seemed she had been waiting for quite a while.

"Um... um, is the Senior Brother awake yet?"

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

"Yes! Is he awake?"

"Uh... he didn't sleep."

"He didn't sleep? Did he study all night?"

"Uh... sort of, I guess. But tell me first, why are you asking? Do you have business with him?"

Wang Dong gave a perfunctory reply. It wasn't that she didn't want to tell others that Jiang Yang was training desperately every day—that was a good thing, and she would usually be happy to share it. But seeing Xiao Xiao so interested in Jiang Yang, a sense of crisis immediately welled up in her heart, and she subconsciously didn't want to reveal any more about him.

"Um... actually, it's nothing."

"I just... I just, oh my, I just wanted to bring the Senior Brother some breakfast, that's all."

"Um, Wang Dong... could you help me take it up to him?"

"I bought a portion for you, too."

"Hehe—"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Xiao took two large, steaming portions of breakfast out of her Soul Tool. There were steamed buns, mantou, fried dough sticks, sweet tofu pudding, savory tofu pudding, soy milk...

"Hey, Xiao Xiao, are you trying to feed a pig?"

Wang Dong's jaw nearly hit the floor.

"Ah? That... actually, I didn't know what the Senior Brother liked to eat, so I just bought a little bit of everything."

"Hehe—"

Xiao Xiao shyly toyed with her hair bun again.

After a long moment, she seemed to remember something, shoved both portions of breakfast into Wang Dong's hands, and ran away as if fleeing.

She left behind only one sentence: "Remember to give it to the Senior Brother! Don't forget, Wang Dong—"

Hearing this, Wang Dong's heart subconsciously tightened. She felt like something wasn't quite right, but she couldn't put her finger on it.

"Forget it—"

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

"Since someone else already bought breakfast, I'm too lazy to make another trip!"

Wang Dong muttered a few words and turned back toward the dormitory.

She pushed the door open with a shove.

"Jiang Yang—"

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

Before Wang Dong could finish her sentence, a loud "Bang!" rang out as she slammed the door shut herself.

At this moment, Wang Dong's face was flushed red, and her brain had instantly short-circuited.

Her mind was filled with overwhelming confusion, rendering her completely unable to think.

"What is going on? Did the world explode?!"

"Damn it, brother! Who's shouting this early in the morning?! I was just in the middle of a dream, about to reach the finish line!"

"I'm seriously done with you, what are you yelling for! Don't you ever sleep?!!"

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."

Seeing several people throw open their dormitory doors and storm toward her in a rage, Wang Dong immediately pressed her palms together to apologize.

After quite a while.

Those people finally returned to their rooms and slammed their doors shut.

The scene finally quieted down for a moment.

The reason it settled down so quickly was thanks to the early hour, as not many people were awake yet.

Otherwise.

The dormitory manager would likely have come over to ask Wang Dong what on earth was going on.

Creak—

A long while later.

The dormitory door finally opened from the inside once more.

Jiang Yang stood in the doorway with a look of indifference.

"What were you doing just now!"

Watching Jiang Yang's detached expression, Wang Dong couldn't hold back anymore and demanded an answer.

However.

She had finally learned her lesson this time and didn't shout.

"Taking a shower, changing clothes. Is that hard to understand?"

"You—"

"I'm so angry!!!"

Hearing Jiang Yang's nonchalant tone, Wang Dong felt completely drained. She shoved past him and stomped into the room, pouting.

However.

Jiang Yang didn't seem to mind; he closed the door behind him and cast his gaze toward the items in Wang Dong's hands.

"Eating so little today? No appetite?"

"You're the one eating little! Do you take me for a pig!!"

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

"You—! You're such a bully!!"

As she spoke.

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

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

Seeing this, Jiang Yang did something unprecedented and stopped teasing her. Instead, he instinctively rubbed his nose and looked up at the ceiling.

After a long pause.

He took the breakfast from Wang Dong's hands without a word and placed it on the table.

"Eat up, it'll get cold soon."

"Hmph!"

"You mentioned Xiao Xiao earlier? What about her?"

"Oh—"

Hearing the name Xiao Xiao, Wang Dong finally remembered that she was currently disguised as a man. She immediately turned around to wipe the tears from her eyes.

She cleared her throat.

Then, she turned back around, looking at Jiang Yang with eyes still rimmed in red.

The next moment.

She said, "Xiao Xiao bought all this breakfast. She said she didn't know what you liked, so she bought a bit of everything. Hmph! You're quite popular with the ladies, aren't you!"

"Mm."

Jiang Yang nodded and continued drinking his tofu pudding.

"Heh! Don't let it go to your head just because I gave you a little credit!"

Wang Dong was truly fuming; as she spoke, she glared at Jiang Yang and took a vicious bite out of the cream bread in her hand.

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

Very quickly.

Jiang Yang had eaten his fill.

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

"Uh... I guess so. Once I finish this cream cake in my hand, I'll be done. I don't usually eat much anyway," Wang Dong replied immediately.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yang immediately began packing Wang Dong's large portion of breakfast and his own leftovers into a single bag.

"Hey? What are you doing? You aren't going to throw all this food away, are you? Wasting food is shameful!"

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

"Which half? Isn't throwing it away the definition of wasting food?"

However.

Jiang Yang did not answer this question.

Once he had packed up all the breakfast, he immediately walked out the door.

Leaving Wang Dong alone in a daze.

After a long while.

She finally snapped out of it and ran out after him, only to see Jiang Yang emerging from the doorway of a dormitory, accompanied by a few people seeing him off.

They were chatting and laughing.

In no time at all, the breakfast had been completely distributed. Wang Dong had been waiting for Jiang Yang to return and explain himself, but to her surprise, she turned her head to see him heading straight downstairs.
