"Baby, stay calm! She didn't mention you by name, so why are you so agitated? Hey, Lin Muran, keep eating! Don't let her scare you." Shen Xingru warmly greeted Lin Muran. At this moment, her fawning demeanor truly exemplified what it means to turn one's elbow outward.

"Lin Muran, please don't take it to heart. Our little one sometimes speaks without thinking," said Shen Xingru, trying to smooth things over with a parental tone.

So it turns out that after seeing others satisfied, you deliberately made her leave, and you paid the bill yourself?" Xichuan teased relentlessly

Hmph

What level is a human bomb

Xiao Baobei took the mineral water, gulped down more than half a bottle in one go, and then shot a sideways glance at Lin Muran: "You keep talking, but can you not drag me into it? What have I done to offend you? First, you tricked me into paying the bill, and now you want to insult me..."

"You are the human bomb, your whole family is a human bomb!" Xiao Baobei, realizing the situation, let out a thunderous roar

I do not want to stay with unlucky people for too long said Xiao Baobei somewhat irritably

Xiao Baobei transformed her anger into appetite, devouring the fish while silently cursing Lin Muran as a hypocritical pharisee.

Xichuan glanced at Lin Muran, then looked at Xiao Baobei, a hint of cunning appearing at the corner of his mouth

Alright, since no one wants it, I will delete it

"My secret is to eat in moderation. If I eat like this classmate beside me, I will surely become a human bomb sooner or later, right?" Lin Muran said this with an extremely calm tone, delivering a statement that was very impactful.

Lin Muran looked at the pouting Xiao Baobei and couldn't help but chuckle lightly

Do not reply

Completely unconcerned, in the moment of her anger, Xiao Baobei experienced so many subtle changes, biting her lip and constantly reminding herself to remain calm, to behave like a lady

However, Lin Muran seemed to be the calamity destined for her; every time she encountered him, nothing good would happen, and even more so, she could not behave like a lady at all

Isn't it just that he is a bit taller, has a more prominent nose, deeper eyes, slightly more alluring lips, and longer, whiter fingers? As for the rest, I really can't see what is so good about him

The entire hot pot restaurant fell into a deep silence after Xiao Baobei's roar, a silence so profound that it instantly turned Xiao Baobei's already flushed face into a red balloon

Uh ... ...

"Why do I feel like someone is easily happy today?" Xichuan teased as he looked at Lin Muran

Just asked and not answered

"Xiao Baobei, why are you in such a hurry to go back so early?" said Xichuan, who was beside her.

Xiao Baobei, feeling bored, was indulging herself in a feast by the side. As she ate the fish, she couldn't help but imagine the fish as Lin Muran, chewing it into a pulp.

Observing Shen Xingru's infatuated expression, Xiao Baobei cast a sidelong glance at Lin Muran, still unable to discern what exactly was attractive about this annoying person beside her

Aren't you just a walking disaster? How have you managed to survive until today?" Lin Muran teased with a hint of mockery.

That Xichuan is simply too familiar, as soon as he sat down, he was chatting about basketball with Chen Xing, his saliva flying everywhere. Meanwhile, Lin Muran, sitting next to Xiao Baobei, had his bowl already piled high with the fish and meat carefully picked by Shen Xingru. Every time Lin Muran wanted to say something to Xiao Baobei, he was entangled by Shen Xingru's questions and couldn't find the right moment.

"Indeed, my dear, do not overthink it," Chen Xing interjected, taking a moment away from the heated discussion with Xichuan to offer some words of comfort.

This time, Shen Xingru and Chen Xing answered in unison.

After speaking, Xiao Baobei left with her bag, pouting. Seeing that she had truly left, Shen Xingru and Chen Xing quickly followed her.

First, she took two seconds to understand that when Lin Muran said "this classmate beside me," he was referring to her, Xiao Baobei. Then, she took another two seconds to comprehend that Lin Muran was saying he was a human bomb

Lin Muran ignored him and instead waved to the boss, saying, "Boss, the bill please"

Her gaze, her expression, seemed as if she were about to drool

Everyone has left, I am not paying the bill, are you going to pay it?

You! Xiao Baobei turned around and looked at Lin Muran, who was grinning in front of her, feeling an overwhelming anger.

Lin Muran, who is always indifferent to others, surprisingly also has moments of being nervous about others

You ... ... I ... ... I am leaving! Xiao Baobei knew that no matter what, she could never win a verbal spar with this top student from the College of Arts, so she could only resort to the best strategy of all: retreat.

Except for Xiao Baobei, the other three looked at the tense Lin Muran, all slightly shocked

Listening to Lin Muran's words, Xiao Baobei was momentarily distracted for a few seconds

"Lin Muran, do you have any fitness secrets? How do you maintain such a good figure?" Shen Xingru asked Lin Muran, looking at his firm chest.

It turned out to be just a choking incident... Seeing Xiao Baobei regain her spirit of resistance, Lin Muran was evidently much more at ease

Lin Muran, who was standing by, watched as Xiao Baobei slowly pondered, then suddenly realized, and finally became flustered throughout the entire process. The secret delight in his heart had reached an infinite level. He desperately suppressed his laughter and continued to look at Xiao Baobei with a serious expression.

If a glare could kill, Lin Muran would have died a thousand times by now

Xiao Baobei carefully recalled the few instances over the past ten years when she had spoken ill of others, and almost all of them ended in dismal outcomes

"You have no idea, I just find her strange and amusing, don't make wild guesses!"

"Cough, cough—" Xiao Baobei was choked, her face turning bright red as she coughed incessantly

Do not reply

I would not buy it; I haven't eaten much, unlike some people who, even if they haven't eaten anything, are still overjoyed.

Meanwhile, Lin Muran was already laughing uncontrollably; this Xiao Baobei is truly amusing, simply too entertaining! Like a live volcano, it erupts with just a touch

Are you somewhat interested in that strange girl

Oh? Is that so? I just accidentally picked up that phone called "Treasure". I wonder if anyone is looking for it

What do I mean?" Lin Muran asked innocently, her eyes blinking.

Lin Muran, after hearing Xiao Baobei speak ill of him, shamelessly sat down at their table and ordered another fish hot pot, starting to eat with Xichuan and the others

Watching Xiao Baobei's departing figure, Lin Muran finally broke into a broad smile, relieved from the pent-up frustration that had almost caused internal injury

If you keep being so verbose, you won't have any food to mooch off this month

He shook his head, and although he was speaking to Shen Xingru, he couldn't help but sneak a glance at Xiao Baobei beside him: "It's nothing, I just enjoy interacting with such strange girls."

Xiao Baobei seriously recalled her childhood and rebellious years, and it seemed that she had never possessed the ability to speak ill of others. For instance, during kindergarten, there was a chubby boy who was eating a portion of food that was completely disproportionate to his appetite. Xiao Baobei comforted him by saying that the teacher only gave him that little bit of food to prevent him from becoming a big, old fatso like the teacher. As soon as she finished saying this, the old fatso grabbed Xiao Baobei and took her to stand in punishment. Back in middle school, sitting in the front row, Xiao Baobei had to endure the geography teacher's spittle during class, and she couldn't help but complain that the geography teacher's mouth was like a waterfall of saliva. Unfortunately, the geography teacher found out, and Xiao Baobei was punished to draw 20 maps of China.

human bomb

When Chen Xing called Xiao Baobei "Baobei", Lin Muran cast a sharp glance, but of course, all of this was only noticed by one person, and that person was Xichuan

Indeed, one must remain calm; there is no need to get overly involved in matters that do not require personal identification. Lin Muran gently blew away the steam rising from the tea, displaying a rather irritating demeanor

I want to go back! Shen Xingru, Chen Xing, are you not full yet? Xiao Baobei clearly did not detect the faint concern in Lin Muran's tone; she thought Lin Muran was gloating.

Bring it here. She is my assistant, and I definitely need her phone number!

Xiao Baobei, who was inexplicably caught in the crossfire while eating fish, accidentally choked on the fish.

You ... ...

He seemed to catch a hint of budding spring feelings in the air filled with a fragrant and spicy aroma

Before she could cough a few times, a bottle of mineral water appeared in front of Xiao Baobei, accompanied by Lin Muran's concerned inquiry: "Quickly drink some water! Did you choke, or is a fishbone stuck in your throat? If it's stuck, I'll go buy some vinegar."

For example, today

Certainly, when Lin Muran uttered this sentence, the emphasis was not on liking, but rather on the strangeness.
