An Nuo supported Murong Qiao’s words.
However, as soon as the bright and rich fragrance of the soup wafted out, she couldn’t help but secrete some saliva.
“I just ate but didn’t eat my fill.” An Nuo blushed. “Can I take a sip of this soup?”
It was just a bowl of soup. Besides, Murong Qiao had no intention of touching it.
Hence, after hearing An Nuo’s words, she agreed casually.
“Just drink it.” Murong Qiao waved her hand.
Following the principle of not wasting food, An Nuo opened the lid of the thermos and scooped a little with the soup spoon, taking a tentative sip.
“…Wu!”
Needless to say, it was quite delicious.
Her eyes widened slightly as she tasted the delicious taste jumping on her taste buds. She couldn’t wait to take another sip.
An Nuo sighed. “I have to say, it’s really good.”
Hence, in the end, the soup carefully brewed by Nan Xuan was completely wiped out by An Nuo.
Murong Qiao wanted to treat the matter of Nan Jin sending breakfast and Nan Xuan making soup as an interlude.
However, to her surprise, such things happened several times in the next few days.
It was as if Nan Jin and Nan Xuan had made an appointment. Every morning and night, they would care for her and send her all kinds of food.
They had appeared in Murong Qiao’s recent life so frequently that she wondered if these two people had nothing to do all day long. Otherwise, how could they be so free?
Nan Jin and Nan Xuan naturally had things to do. The two of them had their own work every day.
However, according to their work schedule, they would squeeze out some time to look for Murong Qiao. Therefore, it was difficult for them to talk to Murong Qiao even if they wanted to. They could only stuff the things into their Little Sister’s hands and leave hurriedly after a few words of concern.
Only Murong Qiao, who was at a loss because of their actions, was left standing on the spot.
After a while, almost everyone in Hui University knew about this.
“As expected, the belle is indeed different. I’m so jealous of this treatment. Other than envying her, I actually can’t think of anything else… Could this be what it means to not know how lucky you are?”
“I think those two men are so handsome!! When can I have such good luck with men!!!”
“1 think they’ve been doing this for almost half a month. If it were me, I would have been tempted long ago. 1 think this flower is not as innocent as it looks. Perhaps she’s just eating her fill and looking at the pot. She might have two more spare tires.”
“I’m curious if School Hunk Huo knows about this. I remember that he was talking to a girl at the School of Economics and Management.”
The post was very popular on the forum. Many people had mixed opinions about this matter.
Huo Yichen’s roommate, Tang Chen, also saw this post.
Seeing that the main character inside was Murong Qiao, Tang Chen looked up in confusion at Huo Yichen, who was studying at his table.
He studied quietly and was a role model. His eyes were focused on the texts on the tablet.
His expression was so calm? Could it be that he still did not know…
Tang Chen’s heart skipped a beat.
“Hey.” He reached out and poked Huo Yichen. “Have you seen the forum? I saw a post saying that your girlfriend is being pursued by a few guys.”
He and Huo Yichen had played basketball in the same major, so their relationship was not bad. Tang Chen was just a little bolder than others.
“Yes,” Huo Yichen replied casually.
Recently, Huo Hong had sent him to the company to train. There were countless matters at hand, and he did not have the mood to care about anything else.
As for what Tang Chen had said, Huo Yichen had long heard it from Murong Qiao.
Tang Chen raised his eyebrows in surprise, as if he was a little puzzled by Huo Yichen’s ordinary reaction.
“I mean—” He hesitated and deliberated. “How can you tolerate someone fawning over your girlfriend?”
It was not that he was puzzled by this matter, but with Tang Chen’s understanding of Huo Yichen’s personality, if such a thing happened, Huo Yichen would definitely not let that person have an easy time.
However, Huo Yichen was unhurried. Under Tang Chen’s burning gaze, he even finished the entire online cla.s.s before looking at Tang Chen and slowly giving an answer.
“It’s not what you think,” he said.
However, Tang Chen was still waiting for Huo Yichen to explain the situation and say something else. In the end, he realized that after saying this, he continued studying.
Tang Chen was a little confused by Huo Yichen’s words.
The phone screen in his hand was still lit, and he could see that the post was constantly refreshing with new comments, but Huo Yichen was studying here calmly—
Tang Chen suddenly had the illusion that Huo Yichen trusted Murong Qiao too much.
At the same time, Murong Chuan who went to the canteen for lunch happened to hear the words “forum” and “Murong Qiao” from the students coming and going.
As soon as he heard that it was about his sister, Murong Chuan instantly stopped in his tracks and listened to the gossip between the two girls not far away.
It was about the matter of two men delivering food to Murong Qiao everyday.
“…” Murong Chuan did not say anything, but he frowned.
Murong Chuan roughly understood the entire matter after listening. Then, he found a place to put down his plate and took out his phone to call Murong Zheng.
“Who is it?” Murong Zheng’s sleepy voice came from the other end of the phone.
He had just finished an experiment in the past two days and only slept for four hours a day. Now that he was done, he was extremely sleepy. In the end, he was woken up by Murong Chuan’s call.
Murong Chuan frowned. “Now… at 1 p.m., did you just wake up?”
It was no wonder he suddenly asked this. Murong Zheng was the most “nourishing” one among them.
“There was some progress with the research on the illness I was studying previously. 1 stayed up all night,” Murong Zheng replied.
Fortunately, after saying a few words, Murong Zheng sobered up. “Don’t tell me you called me because you’re concerned about me?”
His words were still as piercing as ever.
“Help me investigate Qiaoqiao. Recently, she…” Murong Chuan explained in a few words what he had just heard.
After learning that his Little Sister seemed to be “entangled” by two men, Murong Zheng also looked at this matter seriously and agreed with Murong Chuan’s words. He said that he would investigate.
Murong Zheng was very efficient. Almost not long after he hung up the phone with Murong Chuan, there was a result.
“…The Nan family?” Murong Zheng muttered softly.
After learning that Nan Jin and Nan Xuan had appeared in front of their Little Sister one after another and were even trying to express their goodwill to repair their relationship, even Murong Zheng’s usually cold face couldn’t help but darken.
He immediately called Murong Chuan and explained the situation.
Murong Chuan also lost his usual elegance. “They come every day?”
These words were said sinisterly with a hint of gritted teeth.
They were really bold to even appear under their noses…
Murong Chuan’s expression turned even worse when he thought of those annoying people from the Nan family pestering his Little Sister.
“Such people are not worthy of Little Sister’s forgiveness.” Murong Zheng also expressed his opinion.
Not to mention that they were Murong Qiao’s brothers and even had a blood relationship, Little Sister was now a member of the Murong Family. Was it because they didn’t dote on her enough or something? Who gave the Nan Family the right to ask about her?
Murong Chuan’s eyes darkened behind his gla.s.ses. “I won’t give them a chance.”
“I agree.” Murong Zheng sneered.
Coincidentally, he had recently finished his experiment and had a lot of time.
Hence, the next morning, Murong Qiao woke up and was about to go to school when she unexpectedly met her second brother, Murong Zheng, waiting at her door.
“…Second Brother?”
