Chapter 155 With me here, you can have your fun.

Ling Yue finished an entire portion of braised chicken with rice!

Zang Lanyi sent the news back to the work group, making Cheng Jiao and the others as excited as if they had won 50,000 yuan in the lottery.

Qu Shu even changed the menu on short notice.

Luo Shanshan and Wang Junqi were both preparing to show off their skills in the evening.

Ling Yue rubbed her round belly; she was a bit full.

She had originally planned to go for a walk to digest the food.

But it started to drizzle, and Ling Yue didn't want to walk in the rain, so the idea fell through.

"Are we going home now?" Song Xinyao leaned out of the window, reaching out to catch the falling rain, which felt cool.

This kind of weather was perfect for staying in bed at home, listening to the rain while sipping wine and eating some braised snacks.

Ling Yue picked up her phone and stood up. "Let's go back."

In the car.

Ling Yue was looking at her tablet with a serious expression.

"What are you looking at?"

Feeling Song Xinyao leaning in out of curiosity, Ling Yue moved the tablet toward her. "The 80th anniversary of the school is coming up soon."

"The 80th anniversary—the school will probably hold a grand celebration." Song Xinyao stroked her chin, her gaze gradually becoming perverted. "I wonder if they'll invite outstanding alumni back to give speeches or something."

"There was a super impressive guy in our year's chemistry department, do you remember? The campus-hunk-level handsome guy who played the saxophone at the freshman gala. His face looked like a 3D model, stunningly handsome. I really hope he comes back to give a speech so we can all have some eye candy."

"You have so many 'husbands' already, isn't that enough?" Ling Yue glanced at Song Xinyao's phone.

This girl's phone wallpaper was a collage of celebrity 'husbands'.

Some were even half-naked.

Ling Yue had seen boy-crazy people, but never anyone more so than Song Xinyao.

Song Xinyao argued sophistically, "How can that be the same! The campus hunk and I went to the same school; there's a closer connection between us."

"It's that kind of... sense of familiarity. Do you understand familiarity?"

"Oh~ well, instead of you watching him from below the stage, why not have him watch you from below? Want me to give you a hand?" Ling Yue suddenly smiled.

Song Xinyao knew this was a bad sign.

"No, no, with my grades, I'm not worthy of giving a speech on stage."

"You're so bold when it comes to looks, yet you're afraid of something? You're not just chickening out, are you?" Ling Yue egged her on relentlessly.

Song Xinyao spread her hands, refusing to be provoked. "Never mind giving a speech; even if you asked me to perform a stand-up comedy routine, I wouldn't be afraid. The key is that I don't qualify to go on stage."

"They want outstanding alumni, the kind who shine in their respective fields, while I'm just a salted fish."

"It's fine, I'll help you." Ling Yue patted Song Xinyao's shoulder, found Qian Xu's number in her phone, and dialed it.

"...Hello, Lawyer Qian, I have a donation project I'd like to discuss with you..."

Song Xinyao, having heard the whole thing: ∑(￣￣；)

"I'll fight you, you rich person!"

Ling Yue patted her shoulder comfortingly. "With me around, you'll be miserable."

By the time they got home, the rain had stopped.

A faint rainbow appeared on the horizon, and sunlight pierced through the clouds, casting a golden highlight over the earth.

The air was thick with moisture, like a puppy nuzzling someone with its wet nose.

Housekeeper Shi Xiaosha was waiting in the elevator lobby.

Seeing Ling Yue come out, she immediately went to meet her. "Miss, the people who checked the whole house just left, and they didn't find anything unusual."

It was strange.

They checked the villa inside and out but found no issues.

Could it be a ghost?

Housekeeper Shi Xiaosha shook her head; superstition was not the way!

Ling Yue frowned slightly. "Stay alert tonight and see if the strange noises happen again."

This matter could be big or small, but if it wasn't cleared up, Ling Yue wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully at night.

After walking 18,000 steps in one morning, Ling Yue's feet were a bit sore.

Back home, she collapsed onto the sofa, looking as if she had no bones.

Luo Shanshan brought out two fruit platters from the kitchen. "The dragon fruit in the supermarket has been very fresh and sweet lately. Please try some, Miss."

She remembered that Song Xinyao had eaten the entire plate of red dragon fruit last night, and Miss barely got a few pieces.

So when she went out shopping today, she bought more red dragon fruit and specifically divided the fruit platters into two, determined to let Miss have some fresh fruit!

Ling Yue hummed in response and reached out to take it.

Song Xinyao waved her hands repeatedly. "I'm not eating it, I'm not eating it! I ate this last night and had diarrhea all night. My farts were stinky and loud, too."

Triggered the keyword 'farting'.

Zang Lanyi opened her mouth and couldn't help but ask, "Once at midnight, once at 3 AM, once at 4 AM, and once at 5 AM?"

Song Xinyao scratched her butt. "Yeah, I went four times. By the way, how did you know?"

The room fell silent.

Everyone looked speechless.

The source of the strange noises was... solved just like that.

But the person involved scratched her head in confusion. "What's wrong? Why is everyone looking at me?"

After a while, Ling Yue said, "Everyone can sleep peacefully tonight. No need to investigate the strange noises anymore."

"Strange," Song Xinyao muttered.

If you don't understand something, don't think about it—this was one of Song Xinyao's life mottos.

She lowered her head and started playing with her phone.

After a while, she suddenly slapped the sofa and shouted to Ling Yue, "Quick, look at the class group!"

"Just tell me, I'm not logged into my old account." Ling Yue lay paralyzed, not wanting to move.

Song Xinyao asked expectantly, "The Class Monitor organized a reunion, and 18 people have signed up. Are we going?"

Ling Yue shook her head without thinking. "No."

Although she had a good relationship with her college classmates, she was too lazy to move, and the next few days were forecasted to be sunny with high temperatures.

Song Xinyao didn't ask why; Ling Yue hadn't liked participating in group activities since university.

Besides, whether to go or not was a matter of personal freedom.

She grinned. "I'm going. That day happens to be Saturday, my day off~"

"I'll give a shout in the dorm group and see if Qingxue is going."

As they chatted, she began to giggle.

"Is there a rooster living in your throat?" Ling Yue said expressionlessly.

Song Xinyao said, "I'm listening to Wang Jiayin complain about her in-laws' gossip."

Wang Jiayin was the one who went back north, didn't like studying but became a teacher, and eventually married a top-tier scientific researcher.

"What? Gossip? Bring it over and let me see."

Ling Yue thought, she might as well, since she had nothing better to do anyway.
