Chapter 308: She Also Wants to Rent a Place Outside

It seemed they were naturally incompatible with that mysterious place called the kitchen.

Thus, the arrangement for the three of them to take turns cooking was settled by Jiang Sinian.

Actually, Jiang Yue had thought about stopping him, "It's fine, me cooking is just a matter of convenience..."

But she was interrupted by Jiang Sinian, "It's not for a day or a month, but several years; it's better if we all learn to cook."

So Jiang Yue pursed her lips and said nothing more; she had actually tasted the fried eggs made by Ju Zi.

Uh, how to describe it.

It was salmonella on the inside and carcinogens on the outside.

She was afraid.

Even though she was afraid, the next day at noon arrived as scheduled.

Jiang Sinian was going to cook.

He was seen carrying the groceries he had bought on his way home from school, walking confidently into the kitchen.

Jiang Siyu was eating grapes in the living room while trying to sneak a peek at the activity in the kitchen.

Seeing this, Jiang Sinian closed the kitchen door directly.

He opened his phone and clicked on a tutorial for braised chicken with mushrooms.

He followed the video blogger, flustered and scrambling to learn how to cook.

The rice was steamed successfully.

But when it came time to stir-fry the chicken, a mishap occurred: he didn't know how to turn on the gas stove.

After searching Baidu for a while, he still decided to open the kitchen door.

Sure enough, the history books were right; closing the country's doors and acting in isolation hinders progress.

Jiang Yue went in and turned on the gas in a couple of moves.

Jiang Siyu covered her mouth and laughed outside the door.

Jiang Sinian closed the kitchen door again with a dark face.

Mocking him? Hah, today he wouldn't just steam buns, he would steam up some spirit.

Jiang Siyu was watching TV, laughing until she swayed back and forth, when suddenly, her nose twitched, and she felt as if she smelled something burnt.

She immediately looked toward the kitchen with suspicion.

"Brother, how is your cooking going? Did it burn?"

Jiang Sinian's calm voice came from the doorway, "No, everything is normal. You two go back to your rooms and rest for a while; the food will be ready soon."

"Go back to the room?" Jiang Siyu rubbed her stomach, "I'm hungry, I don't need to rest, I just need to eat."

"Go back and rest immediately!" Jiang Sinian ordered, "I am your brother!"

The braised chicken with mushrooms, for some reason, had suddenly burnt itself.

He had followed the video for every single step.

However, Jiang Sinian quickly came up with a good solution.

Another half hour passed, and finally, it was time to eat.

Jiang Siyu looked at the braised chicken with mushrooms on the table, which looked, smelled, and tasted perfect, and asked Jiang Sinian in disbelief, "Brother, did you really make this?"

"Of course," Jiang Sinian replied without the slightest bit of guilt.

"Eat quickly! Eating should be enough to plug your mouth."

It was takeout he had ordered; after dumping it from the box into a plate and fussing over it, it could pretty much count as his own cooking.

Jiang Yue tasted a bite, looking thoughtful.

After finishing the meal, she wanted to go to the kitchen to wash the dishes, but was refused by Jiang Sinian, "You two rest, I'll wash them."

The key was that the useless pot in the kitchen was still burnt; if Jiang Yue went in, she would definitely find out.

"Don't you think my brother is a bit strange?" Jiang Siyu asked Jiang Yue, looking at the tightly closed kitchen door.

When things go against the norm, there must be a demon.

Her brother was not a diligent person; he must be hiding something.

"Yueyue, what do you want to eat tomorrow at noon? I'll make it!" Jiang Siyu asked.

Jiang Yue raised an eyebrow, "What can you make?"

"I'm planning to order takeout," Jiang Siyu whispered to her, "You know my cooking skills; they aren't even as healthy as takeout."

"Anyway, you two can each cook one day, and I'll order takeout. We'll eat takeout once every three days; it won't have much impact on our health."

Jiang Yue thought, that might not be the case.

The cafeteria food wasn't exactly hard to eat, but Bai Mo still couldn't get used to it.

She took two bites and put down her chopsticks.

Because of the conflict with that little girl in the dormitory, she was now isolated by the entire room.

She ate and attended classes all by herself.

As for Jiang Siyu and Jiang Yue, apart from separating during class, they were as inseparable as conjoined twins the rest of the time.

She wanted to get close to Jiang Siyu and use the opportunity to go to the place they were renting, but she couldn't find a chance.

She didn't expect that Jiang Siyu, a little chubby girl, would actually choose to study fashion design; it was truly ironic.

Bai Mo kept an eye on Jiang Yue in the afternoon and found that she didn't wait for Jiang Sinian after class but went directly to meet up with Jiang Siyu. It seemed her relationship with Jiang Sinian hadn't made any progress.

Bai Mo felt a temporary sense of relief in her heart.

She followed the two of them from a distance, intending to see where they were renting.

She had thought it would just be a small, makeshift place, but she didn't expect it to be in a residential complex near the school.

She was afraid of being exposed and did not dare to continue following, only knowing the building number, 13th floor.

She waited for half an hour before going up, discovering it was two units per floor.

On the door to the left, there was still a rental advertisement posted.

Bai Mo took a photo, preparing to call and ask about the situation later.

If it wasn't too expensive, she would think of a way to rent this place, so she wouldn't have to squeeze together with those few little sluts anymore.

Unexpectedly, it was a small three-bedroom apartment that actually required a minimum six-month lease, plus a deposit of three months' rent and one month's rent upfront.

At two thousand eight hundred per month, a deposit of three months plus one month upfront meant she would have to come up with over ten thousand yuan all at once.

Aunt could not come up with that much money.

But Bai Mu had it in her hands; she had savings accumulated over so many years, as well as the money from selling the house.

It was just that she had to think of a way to make her willing to provide the money.

Bai Mo looked at her own arm, then raised her hand and pinched it hard until blue and purple bloodstains appeared; only then was she satisfied.

Over the next few days, Bai Mo only ate one meal a day, and her face looked extremely pale.

On Sunday, she took a bus back to Aunt's house first.

Aunt was not at home, and Shen Yuan called her, only then remembering that Aunt should be working at the shopping mall.

Upon receiving her call, Shen Yuan rushed back in a panic.

"Mo Mo, did you come back suddenly because something happened?"

Seeing her complexion, Shen Yuan was very worried, "Is the food at school not good, or what is going on?"

"Aunt, I'm fine," Bai Mo comforted her, then pretended to inadvertently reveal the injury on her arm.

"What is going on with this?" Shen Yuan was heartbroken, "Did someone bully you? Tell Aunt."

Only then did Bai Mo lean on her shoulder and begin to cry aggrievedly.

"That is too bullying!" Shen Yuan wanted to go to the school to vent her niece's anger, "How can she just hit people like that??"

"Aunt, don't be angry, I'm really fine," Bai Mo then said, "If you go to the school to make a scene, the school might expel me. But I really am not used to living in the dormitory; if only I could rent a room outside."

She specifically mentioned the matter of Si Rong letting her own son and daughter rent a house outside.

Sure enough, Shen Yuan gritted her teeth, "Don't worry, Aunt will definitely be able to earn money to rent a house for you!"

Selling clothes was too slow to make money; she still had to take that path.

"Aunt, don't be too tired either." Bai Mo hypocritically comforted Shen Yuan with a couple of sentences, then went out.

She was going to Bai Fu's hometown to find Bai Mu.

After an hour on the bus, Bai Mo successfully found Bai Mu in the village.

"Why did you come here?"

Just as Bai Mo intended to perform the act she had previously done in front of Shen Yuan again, Bai Nainai suddenly came out.
