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

Yun Mingyue walked up to Zhou You, hugged him, and rested her head against his chest. "Although my cooking skills can't compare to Mo Xin's, I'll try my best to teach Tangtang. Trust me, little brother~~"

"Uh……"

Zhou You lowered his head and saw that Yun Mingyue was acting a little awkward. Was Sister Hua trying to act cute and charming?

He felt the same surprise as Ning Moxin had felt earlier; Yun Mingyue was acting strangely today.

In fact, not only Ning Moxin and Zhou You, but even Chen Tangtang, who is usually unreliable, could tell that Yun Mingyue was acting strangely today.

"Sister Hua, you need to be mentally prepared."

"I'm very reliable."

Yun Mingyue paused, then suddenly looked up. Zhou You was caught off guard when Yun Mingyue nudged her chin. She touched her head and gasped, "Why is your chin so pointed?"

"..." Even though he was the one being pushed, Zhou You could only rub his chin and remain silent.

"Alright, go sit outside and stop lingering here and trying to take advantage of us."

Unbeknownst to her, Yun Mingyue had taken the initiative and pushed Zhou You out, then closed the semi-transparent glass door of the kitchen, leaving him alone outside.

Zhou You didn't think about going into the kitchen again; he just stood outside pondering what was wrong with Sister Hua today.

Before he could come up with a solution, a series of clattering sounds came from the kitchen, and three older women each carried two plates of food and ran out as if fleeing a disaster.

"Tangtang, the fish needs to be killed before cooking." Ning Moxin turned around and looked at the large crucian carp that had jumped out of the oil pan and was splashing on the tiles, her face full of helplessness.

"..." Yun Mingyue remained silent, probably because she hadn't expected Chen Tangtang's situation to be even more troublesome than she had imagined.

She just turned around, so how did Chen Tangtang snatch the pot from Ning Moxin's hand and throw the big crucian carp into it?

How did Chen Tangtang manage to do so many things in less than half a minute?

"Never mind, never mind, Tangtang has no experience this first time."

Yun Mingyue sighed softly, looking at the mess in the kitchen. She wasn't angry at all. Instead, she greeted the others in a friendly manner, "Let's eat first, and we'll clean up the kitchen after we finish eating."

Zhou You noticed Yun Mingyue's domineering manner as a matriarch and exchanged a silent glance with Teacher Ning.

Sister Hua is definitely acting strange tonight.

352. Envy

Yun Mingyue led Ning Moxin and Chen Tangtang to the dining table. As she passed Zhou You, she raised her chin and gestured towards the second floor.

"Little brother, go upstairs and ask Dai Dai if she wants to come down and have dinner together."

“Okay,” Zhou You replied.

He went upstairs and came to the outside of Yun Daidai's room.

Knock knock knock~~

"Please come in," came Yun Daidai's voice, which had regained its strength.

Zhou You pushed open the door and walked a few steps inside, where he saw Yun Daidai.

She straightened up, holding a copy of Natsume Soseki's "I Am a Cat" in her hand, leaning against the headboard. She had opened the window a crack, and a cool breeze blew in, gently ruffling her hair, creating a sense of tranquility and comfort.

If you were to take a picture of her now, frail yet serene and peaceful appearance and post it on the Z University forum, it would definitely attract a lot of attention.

She received compliments such as, "Oh my god, goddess! No wonder she's the campus belle!"

"Dai Dai." Zhou You walked to Yun Dai Dai's side.

"tour……"

Yun Daidai turned her head and saw that the person who came was Zhou You. She quickly closed the book, and the tranquil goddess aura she had exuded instantly dissipated.

She seemed a little reserved. "May I call you that?"

"Hmm...of course." Zhou You thought for a moment and agreed.

"Swim, swim."

Seeing that Zhou You had agreed, Yun Daidai softly repeated the words a few more times, a faint smile appearing on her lips.

She found that after her relationship with Zhou You improved, every time she spent with him, something would happen that made her genuinely happy.

Perhaps it's just a gesture of concern from him, or perhaps it's simply that she can openly change how she addresses him... These little things can fill her heart with joy.

"Aren't you going to stay with them? And is it alright for you to come up here to see me?" After enjoying her joy for a while, she became concerned about Zhou You. "After all, I'm your ex-girlfriend. Won't they have any objections if you come to see me alone?"

Zhou You blinked, somewhat surprised that Yun Daidai would care about this for him.

He answered truthfully, "Mingyue asked me to come up here to find you and ask if you wanted to come down for dinner."

“It’s her…?” Yun Daidai pondered.

"If you have an appetite, you can go downstairs and eat something. After all, apart from the milk and egg custard I bought for you at noon, you probably haven't eaten anything else, right?" Zhou You suggested from the side.

Yun Daidai snapped out of her thoughts, casually placed the book beside her pillow, and said, "Actually, she made me something to eat just now, so I'm not very hungry right now."

she?

Zhou You was slightly taken aback, but quickly realized who Yun Daidai was talking about. Sister Hua had specially prepared food for Yun Daidai.

If they were just an ordinary mother and daughter, he wouldn't be surprised at all, but Yun Mingyue and Yun Daidai... could they be considered an ordinary mother and daughter?

"Since you're not hungry, Dai Dai, I won't bother you any longer. You should get some rest." He said, and then turned to leave.

"You, wait a minute," Yun Daidai called out softly, stopping him.

"Huh?" Zhou You stopped in his tracks, slightly surprised.

Yun Daidai lifted the blanket. She was wearing pajamas, and the pajama bottoms were about seven-tenths of the way down, just enough to reveal a section of her fair calves.

She got out of bed, walked to Zhou You, and looked at him intently. Her bright eyes, like autumn water, shone brightly under the lamplight.

"I want to go down and talk to them alone."

"This..." Zhou You hesitated slightly upon hearing Yun Daidai's request.

Is it appropriate for Yun Daidai to have a private chat with the older sisters? Or is it inappropriate?

"I just have a few words I want to say to them, it'll be quick, just a few minutes." Yun Daidai's expression was clearly pleading.

Seeing Yun Daidai like this, Zhou You considered her well-behaved behavior during this period, and how she had even helped him a great deal last night. Moreover, if Yun Daidai really wanted to talk to the older sisters alone, even if he refused this time, she would always find an opportunity. After all, he couldn't be with the older sisters all the time.

"Alright then, I'll sit here for a while."

Zhou You walked to the desk and sat down, picking up a book from the table—a collection of poems by Zhu Shuzhen.

I happened to turn to a certain page.

The smoke and dew are irritating, making me linger for a moment.

Hand in hand, we walked along the lotus pond, as a light drizzle fell on the plum blossoms.

She's adorable and naive, unafraid of being guessed; she falls asleep fully clothed in someone's arms

The time of parting is most poignant; upon returning, I am too weary to sit at my dressing table.

It tells the story of a young girl's deep reluctance to part with her lover.

…………

Let's leave aside Zhou You, who stayed in Yun Daidai's bedroom reading diligently.

Yun Daidai walked out of the room and took a few steps to the vicinity of the stairs, where she could already hear the women talking and laughing below.

Chen Tangtang's voice was the most noticeable, as it fluctuated in pitch and was quite loud.

Tap tap~~ Tap tap~~

“My little god, you’re back…” Chen Tangtang heard Yun Daidai walking up the stairs and ran from the dining table to the top of the stairs with a giggle.

"Why are you the only one here? Where's my little heartthrob?"

She glanced at Yun Daidai, then craned her neck to look behind Yun Daidai, "Where are you hiding, my little heartthrob? Come out quickly~~"

“He’s still upstairs.” Yun Daidai explained to Chen Tangtang as she walked downstairs, glancing at the two older sisters who had come over after noticing her coming down.

"I have something I want to tell you."

"Dai Dai, what do you want to talk to us about?" Ning Moxin asked as she walked nearby, with Yun Mingyue standing calmly beside her.

Yun Daidai's gaze swept over the three older sisters in turn, then she bowed to them, "Thank you so much for taking care of You during this time."

"What do you mean by this?" Ning Moxin's voice was still very kind.

Yun Daidai explained to them, "I am just very grateful to you for taking care of You, for giving him warmth and a better life, for helping him forget the past and look to the future. In a way, it makes up for the mistakes I made."

"Huh?!" Several older sisters exclaimed in unison upon hearing this.

Yun Mingyue looked Yun Daidai up and down, wondering if her beloved daughter had been possessed.

Ning Moxin wrapped a strand of hair around her finger, her brows furrowed slightly. She had thought Yun Mingyue was acting strangely today, but she hadn't expected Yun Daidai to be acting so oddly as well.

"I just did what I wanted to do."

The most naive Chen Tangtang was the first to speak, her face smiling yet extremely serious, "Let him accompany me to live happily together."

Looking at Chen Tangtang, Yun Daidai couldn't help but purse her lips upon hearing her incredibly natural and sincere answer.

She was indeed far inferior to them.

The gap is enormous and visible to the naked eye; it's an almost insurmountable chasm.

"I really envy you, Sister Tangtang. You can do things so easily that I have to spend a lot of time thinking them through and then work hard for a very long time before I can do even a little bit of them."

353. X + Y * 2?

"what?"

Seeing Yun Daidai's envious look, Chen Tangtang was surprised, then uttered a Versailles-like voice, "Is this kind of thing so difficult?"

"..." Yun Daidai remained silent; she had no way to answer this question.

Yun Daidai remained silent, but Chen Tangtang's eyes darted around. She leaned forward, grabbed Yun Daidai's hand, and pressed her for an answer, "Do you find it difficult?"

"A little." Yun Daidai hesitated for a moment, then nodded gently.

Actually, she was being too tactful. To become someone like Chen Tangtang is more than just a little difficult.
