Don't think of rebirth.

Mung beans, black beans, and red beans, three different colors of beans, add a handful of rice, add water, and cook into porridge with time and patience.

The three-bean porridge that Yu Yuan brought had no sugar in it, as she didn't know whether He Xurong liked sweet food.

He Xurong rummaged through the cupboard for a long time but couldn't find any granulated sugar. In the end, he tore off a few packets of the sugar substitute he usually added to his coffee and put it in.

Turning around and seeing Yu Yuan staring at her, He Xuerong felt a little embarrassed: "Well, this is the only candy left in the cabinet."

"Ah," Yu Yuan paused for a moment before realizing why she said that, and quickly shook her head, "You can put any kind of sugar you want. I was just thinking that I could bring you something else next time."

Next time? Will there be a next time for such "giving warmth"? He Xuerong was surprised, but also secretly happy.

She sat down to drink the porridge while Yu Yuan took out the duck from the thermos bag.

The braised food was originally sealed in a box, and the aroma was oozing out. Now that the lid was opened, the rich aroma instantly and domineeringly spread out.

He Xuerong couldn't help but sniff and said involuntarily, "It smells so good."

Yu Yuan was very proud: "Right? My mom's braised duck is the most delicious!"

She pushed the box in front of He Xuerong, took out a pair of disposable gloves from the bag, and urged, "Come on, eat it directly. Eat the duck legs. Look at the color of this sauce. It must be delicious!"

Unable to refuse the kindness, He Xuerong had no choice but to let Yu Yuan put on disposable gloves for her, then she picked up the braised duck leg and took a tentative bite.

The duck legs were cooked to perfection, the skin was not soft and mushy, but rather a bit tough. You could bite it with your teeth and pull it slightly, then bite off the whole piece.

The aroma of fat instantly spread across my lips and tongue, and the gravy and marinade wrapped in the duck skin dripped down the leg bones.

The leg meat is salty and fragrant when you chew it. Although it is a little harder than chicken thigh meat, it is even more enjoyable when you hold it in your hands and eat it in big bites.

He Xuerong took a bite of meat and a mouthful of porridge and ate with great relish. By the time she finished the duck leg, she had almost finished the porridge.

Yu Yuan was very happy that others liked the food her mother cooked, and she was also very proud - my mother is the best!

She stood up: "Okay, the mission is completed, and I can report to Qing Huan."

He Xuerong then realized that he was too busy eating to entertain Yu Yuan properly, and quickly stood up: "Well, thank you, it's really delicious, how much is it..."

Yu Yuan interrupted her: "My mother made me a lot of delicious food. This is nothing. It doesn't cost any money. Just eat them up!"

After saying that, she ran away. He Xuerong had no time to stop her. He could only watch as Yu Yuan disappeared in the light of the community street lamp in the blink of an eye.

She closed the door and turned around. Seeing the remaining duck on the table, she couldn't help but picked up another duck wing and started to eat it.

When she had finished eating a duck wing, a few pieces of duck neck and a duck paw, Gu Qinghuan's message came again.

Gu Qinghuan: [Cat poking its head out.JPG]

Gu Qinghuan: [Are you full? ]

He Xurong just happened to burp and his face turned red. He was glad that he was talking to the phone.

He Xuerong: [Thank you.]

Gu Qinghuan: [It’s nothing. You and Yu Yuan happen to live in the same neighborhood. I asked her if she could bring you some food, and she agreed.]

He Xuerong thought to herself that it was this "Yu Yuan". She remembered the name and would find an opportunity to express her gratitude in the future.

Gu Qinghuan: [She just told me that you live alone, how come you don’t have food to eat? Didn’t you hire a cook? ]

He Xuerong: [I was delayed today by something. Normally I would eat in the cafeteria or order takeout.]

Gu Qinghuan didn't expect to receive such a reply. She thought He Xurong's family also had a lot of housekeeping staff, but it turned out to be so perfunctory?

Seeing that she didn't reply immediately, He Xuerong thought that Gu Qinghuan had misunderstood her situation, and quickly added: [My family originally wanted to arrange an aunt to cook for me, but I refused. ]

He Xuerong: [I don’t really like eating alone at home. ]

Based on this sentence alone, Gu Qinghuan could come up with several guesses.

However, she and He Xuerong were not familiar enough to discuss private matters, and rashly exposing each other's past would also bring pressure to the other party.

She had an idea, but she had to seek the opinion of Yu Yuan's family first and then discuss it.

Gu Qinghuan: [You have to take good care of yourself. ]

He Xuerong wanted to laugh. To support oneself, this statement sounded a little cute.

She replied seriously: [I will eat on time next time. ]

Gu Qinghuan ended the topic: [You were busy until so late to eat, is it because of the inspection? ]

He Xuerong: [Well, although I really want to find an excellent vice president, I currently receive more suggestions and reports.]

She suddenly thought of something and quickly typed: [Do you have any recommendations for vice president? ]

Gu Qinghuan: [There are so many people in the first grade of high school, but I only know three female students.]

He Xuerong did not give up: [Which three? ]

Someone who can be remembered by Gu Qinghuan must have some characteristics, right?

Gu Qinghuan: [You also know two of them, Ruan Zheliu and Ye Jing, and there is another one, who is in the same class as them by coincidence, named Yin Xisheng.]

Ruan Zheliu and Ye Jing were probably remembered by Gu Qinghuan because they expressed their gratitude. What about this schoolmate named Yin Xisheng?

He Xuerong had high expectations: [Is this student Yin Xisheng excellent? ]

Gu Qinghuan: [She is a very strong girl. If you are interested, you can learn more about her.]

Strong? This adjective made He Xuerong a little concerned. She replied "OK" and talked to Gu Qinghuan about something else before ending the chat.

The next day, He Xurong went to the Student Union and tried to find the Life Department to ask about Yin Xisheng.

Although she is not the president yet, the student union members will cooperate with her during the probation period.

Hearing Yin Xisheng's name, Li Qiongju, the head of the Life Department, immediately said, "Her, I know her."

"Huh, is it very famous?" He Xuerong was a little surprised.

"I wouldn't say she's famous, but she's very special," Li Qiongju replied. "She has some psychological problems and currently can't speak normally, so I have a deep impression of her."

"But he seems quite optimistic. His grades are also very good. His high school entrance examination score was among the top ten in the city when he enrolled. As for his family conditions, they are probably ranked in the middle level in Mingde." Li Qiongju explained briefly.

He Xuerong listened thoughtfully: "Then do you know why she lost her voice?"

Li Qiongju shook her head: "I don't know about that. It's not easy to ask about such private matters."

This answer was also within He Xuerong's expectations. She nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. I'll learn more about it myself later."

He Xurong thought about it and sent a message to Ye Jing.

Didn't Gu Qinghuan say that Yin Xisheng was in the same class as Ye Jing and Ruan Zheliu? Since they were classmates, they should know each other better.

But as soon as she asked, "Is there a student named Yin Xisheng in your class?" Ye Jing's replies came like a string of cannonballs.

Ye Jing: [Has anyone reported her? ]

Ye Jing: [Someone reported such a trivial matter?!]

Ye Jing: [She definitely didn’t steal the pen! I see the things she uses aren’t cheap either, her family doesn’t need the money for a pen.]

Ye Jing: [Ruan Zheliu and I are looking for evidence. Don’t believe what others report! ]

He Xuerong: Just from these few sentences, it seems that we can already guess what is going on.
