Chapter 117: Ji Yun

Habits really are terrifying…………………

Su Yao’s face showed a look of horror, while Ji Yun beside her looked a bit puzzled.

She hadn’t caught onto Su Yao’s slightly eccentric train of thought and instead continued on the same topic.

“Usually, this is determined by genetics. If it develops later in life, it might be unhealthy.”

“De…….”

Su Yao felt the conversation was getting stranger and stranger, so she stopped responding to Ji Yun.

The two of them fell silent.

After a long while, Luo Yu, who had been lying on the bench beside them, sat up, wiped the drool at the corner of her mouth, and said,

“The school cafeteria seems to be closed. Where should we go to grab something to eat?”

“Sure.”

The moment food was mentioned, Ji Yun immediately agreed.

Su Yao was momentarily stunned.

Only now did she realize it was already past noon—prime mealtime.

After remembering this, she also felt a bit hungry, needing something to digest.

Luo Yu got up from the chair, stretched lazily, and then looked at Su Yao and the others.

“I’m not sure where to go. Let’s just start walking.”

“I actually know some decent Shops nearby. How about we check them out?”

“Let’s see first.”

Su Yao looked at Luo Yu with slight surprise.

She noticed some changes in Luo Yu compared to when they first met.

The girl who had once seemed so reserved was now clearly more lively.

People can influence each other; Su Yao believed this to be true.

So then, what kind of impact had Mu Nanqiu had on Luo Yu’s life?

Thinking carefully, Su Yao felt it was a complete, earth-shattering change.

She stood up.

Although she hadn’t really joined in on Luo Yu and Ji Yun’s discussion, she felt as if she had truly become part of this kind of life—and it made her happy.

Even during the Holiday, the school still supplied hot water, and some facilities remained powered.

But this only lasted for less than ten days after the Holiday started.

After that period, the water and electricity would really be cut off.

The cafeteria doors were shut, and even the nearby convenience store had already closed down.

Su Yao usually didn’t wander around school much, but she could still feel that youthful, energetic atmosphere—the young boys and girls walking around, chatting casually, laughing, or playfully chasing each other.

After the Holiday started, all of that had basically disappeared.

Partly because most people had gone home, and partly because of the weather.

“I saw on the news earlier that it’s supposed to keep getting colder.”

“This year’s climate is different from usual. Winter is especially cold, but summer gets especially hot.”

“Sigh, I really hope summer comes soon. Winter is such a hassle, especially washing hair and taking baths.”

“I thought you’d say you wanted to wear skirts in summer.”

“Hmph, am I that kind of person?”

Luo Yu felt a bit embarrassed when Ji Yun said this, scratching her head and teasingly asking back.

Ji Yun just smiled and gently dropped the topic.

“Su Yao, you’d definitely look good in a skirt. Your figure is great.”

“Huh?”

Su Yao had only been listening to their conversation from behind, occasionally amused by what they said, but she never expected the spotlight to suddenly shift to her.

She was momentarily stunned.

Luo Yu’s gaze also landed on her, appraising her up and down before saying,

“If you wear a skirt, your crush will be completely mesmerized, unable to let you go.”

Hearing this, Su Yao’s face flushed red, heat rushing through her body.

She glared fiercely at Luo Yu, who was laughing rather unabashedly.

Muttering under her breath,

“What crush…”

Ji Yun looked at Su Yao curiously.

But though curious, she didn’t press the matter.

Some things are better left lightly touched upon.

Even though at first, it was that little incident on stage that sparked her curiosity about Su Yao.

“By the way, Su Yao, are you in any club?”

“Club?”

Faced with Ji Yun’s sudden question, Su Yao thought for a moment before shaking her head.

It wasn’t that Su Yao forgot she was an invisible member of some club.

She was just wondering why Ji Yun asked that question.

Maybe Ji Yun wanted to pull her into a club? Su Yao wasn’t sure.

When Ji Yun saw that Su Yao wasn’t part of any club, she indeed extended an invitation.

“Do you want to join the Badminton Club? You seem pretty interested.”

“Huh?”

Su Yao realized she wasn’t wrong about Ji Yun’s intention.

But did she really want to join a club?

She lowered her head, pondering.

“It’s not that I’m especially interested. I just want something to do and maybe get some exercise.

I can’t really run well, so I’ve been playing badminton with Luo Yu.”

“That’s fine, there aren’t any mandatory activities.”

“Is that so? I’ll think about it.”

Su Yao was actually tempted.

When she first entered school, there was a period of club recruitment.

She had even sat in the study hall listening to the club representatives talking on stage.

At that time, even if Su Yao had been interested, she didn’t dare to sign up.

Because of that, she became one of the few in the class without any club affiliation.

Badminton Club, huh?

She recalled Mu Nanqiu was pretty good at it……….. Maybe she’d just go along with the flow?

She had thought it over but hadn’t made up her mind yet.

She planned to message Ji Yun about it later.

Her eyes shifted to Luo Yu.

Noticing her gaze, Luo Yu said,

“I joined the Cosplay Club.”

“Cosplay Club?”

“The club for dressing up.

But my main job is making costumes, not being a model.

Su Yao, I think you’d be a perfect fit. Want to try?”

Luo Yu’s eyes narrowed slightly, a big grin on her lips.

Su Yao felt like she was being treated as a doll to dress up.

She hurriedly stepped back.

Only then did Luo Yu’s expression slowly return to normal.

Still, Su Yao remained a little cautious.

She only relaxed once Luo Yu stopped looking at her.

Luo Yu wanted fast food.

Whether McDonald’s or Kaifeng cuisine, she was fine with either.

But Ji Yun disagreed with eating such high-calorie food.

Su Yao didn’t care what they ate, as long as it filled her stomach.

“Eating too much fried chicken and burgers will make you fat!”

Ji Yun’s words were heavy, clearly showing how much she cared about not gaining weight.

In the end, they went to a small but decent restaurant that Ji Yun recommended.

They ordered a few dishes, and the prices were very affordable.

After doing a quick calculation, Su Yao realized she had spent over forty yuan on that meal.

If she had been eating alone, that could cover one or even two days of food—but of course, it wouldn’t have been nearly as good.

After they had eaten their fill, it was time to part ways.

Before leaving, Ji Yun reminded Su Yao to contact her soon.

Su Yao nodded in agreement.

Only then did Ji Yun leave happily, quietly letting out a sigh of relief.

But when Su Yao turned to look at Luo Yu, she noticed Luo Yu was giving her a strange look.

Su Yao frowned and asked,

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.”

Luo Yu shook her head.

The words “nothing” were clearly not the whole answer, but she obviously didn’t want to say more.
