Chapter 127: with translation of chapter title

~8 min read 1,430 words

Mu Youyu asked in a warm voice, "You haven't eaten for days, you must be starving? I'll have someone bring you some millet porridge from the cafeteria."

The Lan Lin cafeteria has five buildings, just like a high-end restaurant, and you can go eat anytime; each station has someone cooking.

She placed a cushion behind Yu Yu's back, picked up the phone to call for food to be brought, but her wrist was gently gripped by Yu Yu.

The girl's fingertips were slightly cool, her grip very light, her voice listless: "I can't eat."

These past few days she hasn't even taken in water, her stomach is empty to the point of acid reflux, and combined with her mood, she has no desire to swallow at all.

Mu Youyu turned her head, blinked her eyes, and began to act pitiful: "Xiao Yu, I've been waiting for you from noon until now without eating properly; keep me company and eat a little, okay?"

That sentence was naturally a lie.

With Jiang Liangjin there, he would almost want to shove food into her mouth; how could he allow her not to eat?

Besides, Gu Xingnan and Yu Ci are also present, so even if Jiang Liangjin didn't care, these two would.

Yu Yu looked at Mu Youyu, who usually exudes an aura as if eight feet tall, a rare sight; her tense nerves inexplicably loosened a bit, feeling somewhat novel, she said, "Okay."

"Right."

After Mu Youyu sent a message to the bodyguard, she seemed to suddenly remember something, lifted her gaze toward the doorway, and said, "Those three boys who were waiting for you outside just now—can you let them in? They're our own people, no need to be shy!"

Yu Yu instinctively sat up straight, her mind not yet fully processing, and replied, "Okay, Mu Sister, you call."

Mu Youyu went out and called once, then the three entered.

The leading red-haired youth stood tall, his brows and eyes holding a hint of arrogance; the two behind him wore identical clothes, but one was cold, the other handsome.

The three had distinct auras, yet their outstanding nature was hard to conceal.

She smiled and introduced them one by one, first looking at Yu Yu, who had sat up, and said, "This is my friend from A City, Yu Yu."

Then she pointed to the red-haired youth, a gentle smile in her eyes, her tone affectionate: "This is my childhood friend, Jiang Liangjin."

Yu Yu was shocked.

Jiang Liangjin? Jin?

Isn't this the person from Mu Sister's painting?

Apart from that flashy red hair and his even more icy demeanor, his features are exactly the same as the character in the sketch!

She had thought it was a new comic character Mu Sister had imagined out of thin air...

Exactly, she is one of the few who knows that Mu Youyu is the mysterious manga god, the sole manga artist of "When Rain Falls at the Fingertips," the great Artist Name Yue Shu!

She had even nagged Mu Youyu for updates back then, but...

Forget it, not bringing it up—bringing it up too much just brings tears.

The person who signed as "Jin" back then also thought this was a new character in Mu Sister's manga, never expecting it to have actually appeared in real life!

However, this name...

Isn't he the sole heir of the Jiang Family, the nation's top conglomerate?

Yu Yu stood frozen in place, her mind a jumble, for a moment forgetting how to react.

How does Mu Sister know someone like this? And they're childhood friends?

Jiang Liangjin's gaze fell on Yu Yu, his thin lips parting slightly: "Hello."

Yu Yu reacted, "Hello."

Mu Youyu gave Yu Ci and Gu Xingnan a look, letting them speak up themselves.

Yu Ci received her message, smiled friendly, "Hello, I'm Yu Ci, and I grew up together with Youbao."

Gu Xingnan stood to the side, tall and straight, his face showing little extra expression, not quite cold, just speaking succinctly, he added following Yu Ci's words: "I'm Gu Xingnan, just like him."

These two names, people from other cities who know Young Master Jiang is in C Shi also know about C Shi's four major conglomerates, four great aristocratic families, and West City's eight great aristocratic families.

Because most of the notable figures in C Shi are big shots, and most of those big shots are also in West City.

Even those who aren't well-informed, even if they don't know the West City aristocratic families of C Shi, still know the Yu and Gu families, Young Master Jiang's close friends!

Plus, Yu Yu has been required since childhood to study family affairs and knows the top figures of various cities.

She certainly knows that these two people before her are the heirs of the prestigious, renowned West City aristocratic families of C Shi!

They grew up with Jiang Liangjin as playmates, and are big-shot figures in that circle!

Yu Yu quickly nodded again, "Hello to you all."

Nothing to say.

Five minutes later, bodyguard Song Zewu walked in carrying an insulated... basin.

The basin was filled to the brim with millet porridge, steaming hot, almost enough to sink the table.

He also thoughtfully brought five bowls.

Mu Youyu looked at the enough-for-ten-people millet porridge, fell silent, was poked in the arm by Jiang Liangjin, then reacted, forcing herself to praise: "Little Five did a good job."

She had only asked for a little bit, enough for two people to eat, right?

Forget it, it's the bodyguard arranged by her brother; no point complaining about him.

Song Zewu proudly lifted his chin, "Of course!"

He is the ace bodyguard specially assigned by the young master to be beside the young lady... one of them!

The eldest and second young masters each also arranged two bodyguards for the young lady, all hidden in the dark, on standby to protect her!

But every time they spring into action, he's faster than them; whenever the young lady calls for someone, he's always the first to arrive!

The other bodyguards are always left behind by him, faces full of resentment.

Thinking of this, Song Zewu felt even more pleased—he's still the strongest!

Gazing at the young lady's gratified look, he lifted his chin, marched out with vigor and confidence.

Jiang Liangjin looked at the millet porridge, comparable to a "basin-sized mega burger," raised his eyebrows, "... This much? Are we going to hold a porridge feast?"

Yu Ci showed no mercy: "Hahahahahaha."

Gu Xingnan: "Haha."

Jiang Liangjin gave the two a sideways glance, "Crazy?"

Mu Youyu helplessly said, "Forget it, forget it, let's eat together; if we can't finish, we'll give the bodyguard extra meals."

The three took the bowl she handed over, their Expressions varied.

Yu Ci stopped laughing.

Gu Xingnan had no Expression.

Jiang Liangjin let her have her way, indulgence flickering in his eyes.

The school doctor came over and gave a few reminders, telling Yu Yu to eat small meals often to replenish fluids.

Mu Youyu nodded and served Yu Yu a small bowl of porridge.

"Mu Sis..." her voice still a little hoarse.

"What's wrong?" Mu Youyu lifted her eyes to look at her, her gaze gentle.

Yu Yu took the porridge, didn't drink it, only stared at the girl before her, her tone tinged with careful guilt: "Am I being too much trouble?"

Mu Youyu laughed: "What are you saying? Friends are meant to bother each other! What's most important for you now is to get your body healthy, so you'll have the energy to think about later."

Yu Yu nodded, eyes shining: "Okay! I'll definitely eat more!"

"Mu Sis is also too awesome!"

After her stomach wasn't so empty from drinking, Yu Yu came to, looked around curiously and asked: "Mu Sis, where is this?"

It's not like a hospital, but the facilities are complete, yet it lacks the hospital smell.

"The school infirmary."

Yu Yu has always been a curious one: "Then why aren't there any other students?"

Mu Youyu explained: "Because Lan Lin has three school infirmaries."

The infirmaries are allocated by floor, located on the first floor of each of the first, second, and third year buildings.

Each also has several private rooms.

Yu Yu: "Wow."

Sheng Luo only has one.

Mu Youyu smiled: "Come eat your fill."

"Okay!"

Then she poured millet porridge for the other three.

After Mu Youyu filled their bowls, she added thoughtfully: "Eat more; if it's not enough, I'll add more."

"……"

Several people began to finish the millet porridge.
