So all the wives were waiting for me to break up with them.

Li Ningning sighed helplessly. She glanced around the kitchen and guessed, "Did you suddenly have another idea and want to do something interesting, so you forgot about me?"

Chen Tangtang waved her little hand and explained to her, "I wasn't doing anything interesting."

"What is that?" Li Ningning's gaze was fixed on the iron pot, observing the unknown substance inside, her eyes showing contemplation.

What's in this pot?

With her decades of life experience, she couldn't tell the difference at all.

"I want to make a Valentine's Day chocolate for my little crush," Chen Tangtang answered truthfully.

"You mean this is chocolate?" Li Ningning pointed at the iron pot and asked in surprise. Compared to Rose's reluctance to say more, she was much more direct.

"Excuse me for being blunt, but Tangtang, what you made doesn't look like chocolate at all."

"I put in thirty-six kinds of chocolate, heated it, and stirred it evenly. How could it not be chocolate?" Chen Tangtang asked Li Ningning aggressively, arms crossed.

"What else could it be but chocolate on top of chocolate?"

"..."

Li Ningning fell silent, unable to think of a suitable rebuttal to Chen Tangtang.

Tangtang, you are so smart.

"Even if it's chocolate, your little boy definitely won't like it."

"That's why I thought I'd have Rose taste it for me first," Chen Tangtang replied to Li Ningning with even more sincerity.

Li Ningning glanced sideways at Rose, whose expression became increasingly conflicted after hearing Chen Tangtang's words. After thinking for a moment, she decided to say a word for the old lady's former subordinate.

"I think instead of having Rose test the food for you... instead of letting her taste it, you should have her find a pastry chef to teach you how to make it."

"Find a pastry chef to teach me?" Chen Tangtang hesitated, but Li Ningning's words did make sense.

Li Ningning waved to Rose, signaling her to leave, and then went over to take Chen Tangtang's hand.

"There's still some time before Valentine's Day, Tangtang, you don't need to be in such a hurry. Wait until Rose finds her 'mentor' tomorrow, then you can work on it."

She paused, recalling that after visiting the old lady recently, the old lady had asked her to give Chen Tangtang some pointers if she had the chance.

"Let's talk about that question I asked you last time. Have you figured anything out about it?"

"Hmm~"

Chen Tangtang pondered.

Li Ningning looked at her expectantly.

Time has passed a little.

Chen Tangtang scratched her face a little embarrassedly, "I think I have thought about it, but it seems I haven't come up with anything, hehehe~~"

"..." As expected of you, Tangtang.

Li Ningning shook her head, both amused and exasperated. After thinking for a moment, she asked Chen Tangtang a question.

"Don't you and him ever have unhappy times?"

What would a young lady who always seeks happiness do if she were unhappy?

Li Ningning, as Chen Tangtang's best friend, knows this very well.

Many people should be able to guess this.

She will 'abandon' unhappy things.

312. True wisdom appears as foolishness.

"No matter how amazing your crush is, he can't make you happy forever, right? There will always be times when you're unhappy with each other."

Li Ningning wasn't exaggerating; she was simply stating a fact.

Faced with her best friend's question, Chen Tangtang frowned.

Are there really times when you're unhappy?

"Theoretically, it should be possible," Li Ningning answered honestly.

She didn't want to break up Chen Tangtang and Zhou You; she just wanted her usually carefree best friend to think things through more.

After all, this is a major life event.

Now that I've thought it through, it's better to be mentally prepared than to face it suddenly and be at a loss.

“But I think we will be happy forever,” Chen Tangtang said, expressing her thoughts.

"Sugar candy."

Li Ningning reached out and patted Chen Tangtang's shoulder, her voice soft but unusually serious, "You're being too idealistic."

She paused, knowing that Chen Tangtang wouldn't hear her if she just said that, so she added, "Sometimes we need to consider bad scenarios, just consider them. I'm not saying they will definitely happen, right?"

"I think..."

"Tangtang, don't avoid the problem. Come on, let's go back and think about it slowly."

Li Ningning took Chen Tangtang's hand and led her out of the kitchen, saying, "I'll also help you come up with ideas."

"No, that's not it." Chen Tangtang shook her head. "I'm not running away from this. I've thought it through."

"Hmm?" This time it was Li Ningning who was surprised.

She thought that, given Chen Tangtang's personality, she would struggle with this for quite some time.

"Tangtang, have you really thought this through?" she couldn't help but ask.

"...Probably?" Chen Tangtang felt a little unsure after Li Ningning's question.

Before Li Ningning could ask further, she whispered her thoughts, "If I encounter something unpleasant, I believe my little god will be able to resolve it quickly."

Li Ningning sighed inwardly; as expected, Tangtang still hadn't...

“If my little male god can’t solve it…” Chen Tangtang patted her chest heavily, “…Tangtang is amazing, I can definitely solve it, my little male god and I can definitely overcome all difficulties together.”

"..."

"Ningning, why aren't you saying anything? Do you think what I said is wrong?"

No, that's not true.

Li Ningning shook her head. She walked outside hand in hand with Chen Tangtang, looking quite pleased, and said, "On the contrary, I think Tangtang is absolutely right, very right."

"Hehehe~~ I think I'm right too." Chen Tangtang chuckled, perhaps she simply believed that being with Zhou You could overcome all difficulties.

But this simple idea is actually a perfect answer.

Seeing this, Li Ningning smiled. Chen Tangtang sometimes didn't think too much, but she always managed to find the key to the problem.

Is this what they call being wise in a foolish way?

Achoo!

Chen Tangtang suddenly sneezed. She rubbed her nose and muttered to herself, "Is someone cursing at me?"

She thought about it carefully, "Could it be Yun Mingyue?"

Yun Mingyue, who had just returned home and enjoyed a nice bath before going to bed, was unaware that Chen Tangtang had pinned a blame on her.

…………

Chen Tangtang was discussing issues with her best friend Li Ningning.

Ning Moxin drove Zhou You to the apartment building he had just rented.

Zhou You took out the quilt and sheets from the trunk of the car, and handed the remaining few pieces of newly bought clothes to Ning Moxin to carry.

The two went upstairs one after the other, opened the door, and entered the rented room that they had cleaned during the day.

Zhou You hung the new clothes on a hanger and put them in the closet. Ning Moxin took off her shoes and knelt on the bed to help him spread out the sheets.

She bent over, focused, pinching the corner of the sheet and tucking the edge into the seam of the bed. The process wasn't too complicated, but her overly long hair would always fall down and block her view due to gravity, so she had to constantly brush it aside, which took her a little longer.

Snap snap snap snap snap snap

Ning Moxin smoothed out the wrinkles on the bed sheet with her hand, straightened her upper body, and knelt on the bed in a quiet posture.

She placed her hands on her knees, the wide sleeves of her Hanfu lying flat on either side of her knees, and smiled slightly as she turned her head to look at Zhou You, looking like a demure young wife.

"Little You~~"

"Sister Mo." Zhou You looked at Ning Moxin, who was kneeling on the bed, calling out softly and gently, her face flushed.

The atmosphere seemed to have become somewhat ambiguous.

"Could you please take me home?" Ning Moxin asked.

"Ah? Okay!" Zhou You was slightly taken aback, then quickly nodded in agreement.

"Xiao You, you don't think..."

Ning Moxin got out of bed and put on her shoes. Seeing Zhou You's slow reaction, she asked, "...I want to stay, right?"

"..." Zhou You, who was always very honest, didn't know whether he should deny it or not.

"If you ask, Xiaoyou, I will definitely stay."

Ning Moxin stepped forward and took his hand, her delicate fingertips slowly gliding across the back of his hand. "But Xiaoyou, if you don't tell me, I won't take the initiative. I don't want you to think I'm a cheap woman."

When Zhou You heard Ning Moxin say that, he replied somewhat awkwardly, "I was just imagining strange things."

"I'll take you home, Sister Mo." He turned around, took her hand, and led her out of the rented room.

In his slightly hurried state, he didn't notice that Ning Moxin, who was half a step behind him, was smiling slightly, which made her delicate eyebrows relax, like the gentle distant mountains in a Chinese ink painting.

Behind his back, he quietly touched the room key hidden in his sleeve with his other free hand.

The two left the rented room and went downstairs. It was already very late at night, and the streets were deserted and quiet.

They walked side by side for a short while before entering the faculty and staff residential area. After walking a few dozen more steps, they were almost at Ning Moxin's home when they came to a small path.

The path was lined with a wall covered with barbed wire. By the light of the lamps and the moonlight, you could see many vines climbing on the wires. As the weather was gradually warming up, there were also many pink and purple flower buds on the vines.

When all the flower buds have bloomed in a while, it will be a truly magnificent sight.

"Xiao You, come with me to see them then," Ning Moxin suggested with a smile, following Zhou You's gaze as he looked at the flower buds.
