Chapter 858: Happy Times

Douban's cuteness received unanimous praise from everyone, but the dirt on its body could not be concealed.

The reflected light was simply blinding.

Lin Yi set an example by turning around and picking up Douban.

"I'll go give Douban a bath."

After Teacher San Lei nodded, he continued to go deep with Did Ning Chen.

Entering the Mushroom House, the three went their separate ways.

It was already late.

Teacher San Lei looked at the time; the watch showed one fifty-eight, a number infinitely close to two.

It was time to cook at this hour.

Teacher San Lei silently walked toward the kitchen, and Did Ning Chen, following beside him, silently followed along.

The two exchanged not a single word the entire time.

Tonight would be another feast, but Did Ning Chen had originally planned to be with Teacher San Lei.

"Did Ning Chen, go play with everyone and bond."

Hearing these words, Did Ning Chen understood that Teacher San Lei did not need help, so he nodded and left without lingering too long.

Arriving outside the kitchen, there were not many people in the living room, while the bathroom echoed with the sound of running water.

The crackling sound attracted Did Ning Chen's attention.

Getting closer again, he heard the dog barking inside; Did Ning Chen understood this was Douban's voice.

Upon entering completely, he saw Lin Yi giving Douban a bath.

The water had already turned murky.

Hearing footsteps right behind him, Lin Yi turned to look at Did Ning Chen.

"You're here, Did Ning Chen. Look at this dog."

Did Ning Chen smiled.

"Wash it well, and blow-dry it later."

Lin Yi nodded, but it seemed he still couldn't help much here.

Just as he was about to leave, Lin Yi suddenly called out to him.

"Did Ning Chen, hurry and help me change the water."

Hearing this, Did Ning Chen also nodded and strode forward.

However, Did Ning Chen did not change the water but instead used the showerhead directly.

"Douban's treatment is quite good; two people are serving it."

"Indeed, but if it weren't for being quite dirty, maybe it wouldn't need washing."

In the rush, after finishing the final step of blow-drying, Douban was set down, emitting a rich fragrance from its body.

After washing Douban, the two walked out together.

Walking out of the Mushroom House and seeing the barbecue grill, the two were stunned.

"Are we going to eat barbecue? But I remember Teacher San Lei already went to the kitchen."

"No, grilled fish. Teacher San Lei said to grill the leftover fish from yesterday."

Hearing Sister Zifeng's words, the two gradually understood.

"So it's Teacher San Lei's order; I'll do it."

Before the fish even hit the grill, Lin Yi ran up and drove Sister Zifeng away.

However, Sister Zifeng did not linger too long but, seeing the situation, left directly.

In boredom, Pengpeng somehow got a guitar.

He sat on the courtyard wall and began to play.

At first, the piece everyone played was an immersive experience, but gradually something felt off.

There was a cool sensation on their heads.

"Is it raining?"

"Yes, yes, it is indeed raining, but it seems to be light rain."

According to everyone's remarks, Pengpeng immediately felt it too.

Gradually, the playing felt like he was struggling to keep up.

"Pengpeng, what are you doing? Is the rain affecting your performance?"

"No, no, no, I'm innovating."

Liying couldn't help but tease.

"If you innovate any further, it'll turn from raindrops into light rain."

And true to Liying's words, light rain actually began to fall from the sky.

That light rain covered the sky and spread everywhere, turning the sunny day into an overcast one.

"See? Even heaven can't stand your innovation."

Pengpeng also stopped playing in his hands, stood frozen in place, and smiled awkwardly.

"This can't be blamed on me; maybe no one checked the weather forecast, and I just caught the timing."

Pengpeng was making an excuse for himself.

However, the grilling of the fish had now reached a heated stage; after this stage, the fish-grilling project would be complete.

Now Lin Yi could not leave his post without authorization, or the grilled fish would become boiled fish.

And Sister Zifeng, bored and idle, took an umbrella and opened it for herself.

He came before Lin Yi, originally thinking it was meant for himself.

Yet he did not expect the umbrella to be opened over the grilled fish instead; Lin Yi's smile now was as awkward as Pengpeng's.

The awkward duo.

This scene also drew laughter from everyone.

"Opening an umbrella for the fish but not for Lin Yi."

Teacher San Lei spoke with convincing arguments, while everyone laughed at the situation before them.

Did Ning Chen did not laugh; watching Lin Yi get drenched, he felt somewhat uncomfortable in his heart.

He then entered the Mushroom House, rummaging through drawers and cabinets in search of an umbrella.

Effort did not fail the determined; he finally found one in the cabinet.

Coming outside, Did Ning Chen went to Lin Yi's side and opened the umbrella.
