Chapter 299

He approved of Yao Shi's cooking; the bone broth tasted just right for him.

"I look forward to your next dish."

Reaching out to stroke Yao Shi's little head, Wu Liang winked at Milutin and Yao Qing.

What are you standing there for? Hurry up and clean up the soup on the floor!

"Young Master..."

"Yes, I will definitely not let you down, young master."

Looking into Wu Liang's starry eyes, Yao Shi's previous dejection and anger vanished as if smoke had dissipated.

All that remained was a deep sense of warmth and joy.

Actually, what she wants is very simple.

She would be content as long as she could gain the young master's approval...

Chapter 18: Chapter Title: Heartbroken

The following morning, the Huihuangxing Academy

Wu Liang lay motionless on the table, his face ashen.

He has been holding this position for a full thirty minutes.

As for why he has become like this now.

Then you'll have to ask about the so-called bone broth that Yao Shi made for him yesterday.

"Why... why did it turn out like this...?"

Wu Liang said in a low voice with a dark expression.

He also wanted to know what was going on.

I thought Yao Shi's cooking skills had improved tremendously.

However, he was being far too naive.

To his utter surprise, the bone broth tasted much better.

But the aftereffects were just as strong as, if not stronger than, the last time Starry Sky Gazing.

He was fine for a while after drinking the bone broth.

But around 3 a. m., he suddenly felt a churning, violent convulsion in his stomach.

It was excruciatingly painful, as if Sun Wukong were somersaulting and writhing inside his stomach.

The pain was almost as intense as the last time I had the dish called "Starry Sky Gazing".

"The taste is obviously very good, but why is the recoil so strong?"

"Could it be that Yao Shi is trying to tell me through cooking that delicious food is not necessarily safe?"

Wu Liang murmured, a wry smile playing on his lips.

Fortunately, he didn't drink much overall yesterday.

The cramping sensation in my stomach has eased considerably compared to when I first woke up in the morning.

Yesterday was another sleepless night, and Wu Liang was somewhat listless.

"I hope I live to see the day Yao Shi can cook normal dishes..."

Wu Liang rubbed his lower abdomen, which had calmed down.

Compared to Milutin's culinary skills, Yao Shi is far inferior.

"Wu Liang, are you alright? Would you like some water?"

He Xue walked up to Wu Liang with a cup of hot water in her hand.

She had been observing Wu Liang for some time.

It looks like an upset stomach; drinking some hot water always makes me feel better.

"Shall I go to the infirmary and get you some painkillers?"

Han Yu casually picked up a chair and sat down in front of Wu Liang.

He frowned slightly as he looked at the other person's somewhat pale face.

This doesn't seem like a regular stomachache. Did I eat something bad? Or did I catch a cold?

This was the first time she had ever seen Wu Liang so weak and covered in cold sweat.

In Han Yu's memory, Wu Liang had always been very healthy.

"No need, I've almost recovered."

"On the contrary, the two of you have made up?"

Wu Liang looked at He Xue and Han Yu beside him and chuckled softly.

It seems that the two of them have completely reconciled without his knowledge.

"Yes... Xiao Yu has always been my best friend..."

"Let's not talk about this now. Drink some hot water to warm yourself up."

He Xue smiled faintly and handed the paper cup filled with hot water to Wu Liang.

If it weren't for Wu Liang, she wouldn't have been able to have such a deep heart-to-heart talk with Xiao Yu.

"Isn't this what you expected? What are you pretending for?"

"Didn't you already guess this would be the result?"

Han Yu pursed her lips and patted Wu Liang's head twice.

Isn't it exactly what Wu Liang hoped for that she and He Xue could reconcile?

However, she also wanted to thank Wu Liang for his help.

"Hey? You two made up?"

While they were chatting about something, Rat suddenly poked its head in and Nan Zhu in surprise.

Han Yu used to dislike He Xue a lot.

How did you make up so quickly? What happened?

"I think it would be more direct for you to ask Wu Liang."

Nan Zhu said with a smile, resting his chin on his hand.

Whether it's between Han Yu and He Xue, or between Ning Shuang and Su Qian.

All of this was achieved thanks to Wu Liang's support; without Wu Liang, it wouldn't have been possible.

Those people are probably still in a very stiff state.

"Wow! Boss is awesome! Although I don't know exactly what he did, I'll just keep praising him."

The Rat stood behind Wu Liang with a grin.

He genuinely didn't know what had happened between these people.

But whatever the boss does must be right.

"That... that..."

While everyone was still chatting idly.

A faint female voice sounded behind them.

Miao Lian, stood somewhat reservedly to the side.

Her jade-white fingers seemed to be fidgeting nervously.

A hint of hesitation and apology lingered on her delicate face.

"Oh my, isn't this Miss Miao Lian from a wealthy family? What's up, is something the matter?"

"Your two lackeys haven't been to school for a long time. Did they transfer schools?"

Han Yu rested her chin on her right hand, crossed her little feet, and looked at Miao Lian with great interest.

Those two followers looked like they transferred schools because of what people were saying about them.

Now that her two followers are gone, Miao Lian is all alone.

Ha, what goes around comes around.

"Xiao Yu! Don't make sarcastic remarks!"

He Xue gave Han Yu a dissatisfied look.

Her beautiful eyes held a hint of reproach.

Never mind what I said.

Han Yu shrugged indifferently.

He then turned his head to the side and stopped looking at Miao Lian.

"Miao Lian, what's wrong? Is there something you need?"

He Xue walked to Miao Lian's side and took her small hand.

You seem to have something on your mind. Is there something you want to say?

"I want to apologize to Han Yu."

"Those things I said to Han Yu before..."

Miao Lian felt the warmth emanating from He Xue's palm.

After taking a deep breath, he slowly looked up at Han Yu.

When she used to argue and bicker with Han Yu, it was mostly because of her own reasons.

In addition, He Xue had given her a lot of advice before, so she wanted to apologize to Han Yu properly and explain the past.

"Han Yu, I hope you can forgive my past unreasonable behavior."

Miao Lian bit her lip, looking at He Xue's encouraging gaze beside her.

She bowed deeply to Han Yu as if making a firm decision, lowering her head which she had always held high.

"..."

Han Yu was also somewhat moved when she heard this.

Why would the usually aloof and arrogant Miss Miao Lian actually lower her head and apologize to me?

And it was a heartfelt expression of apology, hoping to gain forgiveness.

It's hard to believe, considering this is the arrogant and disdainful Miss Miao Lian.

Miao Lian, who had never bowed her head to anyone, actually put aside her pride in front of him?

"Xiao Yu."

I saw Han Yu, who was still looking out the window.

He Xue took Miao Lian's hand and walked to Han Yu's side.

Xiao Yu is not an unreasonable person, nor is she the kind of person who is so arrogant that she looks down on everyone else.

Xiao Yu is just a little bit arrogant.

"Okay, okay, I accept your apology, alright?"

"But you don't really need to apologize to me. It makes it seem like I'm the one who was bullied by you."

"Every time I've retorted, you're left speechless."

Han Yu turned around and said somewhat irritably.

However, it was indeed unexpected that Miao Lian would apologize to her.
