131: Responsibility creates goodwill, and goodwill starts the process of recognizing the master
At this time in the camp, lunch hour had already passed, so there weren't many people in the cafeteria, only a few family members sitting in the corner chatting.
After arriving at the cafeteria, Fang Yun and the other four found a large round table and sat down.
Fang Yun ordered today's special three-in-one combo meal, Valentine ordered a bowl of fried noodles and a dish of braised eggplant, Toke ordered a small portion of rice, a large bowl of meatball soup, and additionally asked for three bottles of Tsingtao beer.
Hua Meiying and Bai Xuerou each ordered a dessert, deciding to swap and eat them later.
While waiting for the food to be prepared, Fang Yun picked up the water cup on the table, took a sip of water, then cleared his throat and said to Hua Meiying and Bai Xuerou:
"The food in the cafeteria tastes pretty good. You can eat here in the future, or you can cook yourselves."
Hua Meiying and Bai Xuerou nodded, sitting upright in their chairs.
Because they were very much looking forward to the taste of the dessert, although their bodies were sitting upright, their legs were not entirely still.
Their fair legs swayed back and forth on the chairs, their plump, fair leg flesh rippling with their movements.
Of course, Fang Yun, being a proper gentleman, definitely wouldn't specifically look, he just occasionally, occasionally accidentally caught a glimpse.
Soon, the cafeteria staff brought the prepared dishes to the table one by one.
Toke picked up the Tsingtao beer on the table and gave Valentine and Fang Yun a bottle each.
"Clink, clink, clink."
The sound of bottle caps being popped off rang out one after another.
Valentine cheerfully poured the wine and raised his glass to Fang Yun:
"Fang Yun, congratulations on the great success of your first commissioned task."
Toke also raised his glass and congratulated Fang Yun:
"Hahaha, congratulations, Fang Yun. Although you've only completed a small task for now, I believe you'll definitely make a name for yourself in Night City in the future."
At the sudden congratulations, Fang Yun was first startled, a slight expression of surprise appearing on his face, but then he quickly reacted, responding with a beaming smile:
"Congratulations to us all, congratulations to us all."
"Come on, let's toast, let's toast."
Seeing Fang Yun and the other two clink glasses and then down their drinks, Hua Meiying and Bai Xuerou, who were half a beat slower, exchanged glances and also quickly raised their water cups, using water instead of wine to express their thanks to Fang Yun.
"Fang Yun, thank you for saving us."
"Yes, thank you very much."
Facing Hua Meiying and Bai Xuerou's two pairs of sparkling big eyes, Fang Yun, who had just finished a glass of wine, had no choice but to fill another glass for himself.
"You're welcome."
"I hope you can both grow into capable hands who can stand on your own in the future and live well in this world."
Fang Yun raised his glass, gestured to Hua Meiying and the other, and then downed it in one gulp again.
Hua Meiying and Bai Xuerou heard Fang Yun's expectations for the two of them and nodded simultaneously, saying:
"Mm, we will. Thank you."
Fang Yun put down his glass, saw that Hua Meiying and Bai Xuerou had also finished a whole glass of plain water, and said with a smile:
"I believe in you."
"Quickly try the desserts and see how they taste. If you think they're good, you can come often in the future."
"Fang Yun, let them eat theirs, let's drink together, come on." (Valentine)
"Drink, eat. You guys try my meatball soup, it's very tasty." (Toke)
"..." (Hua Meiying and Bai Xuerou ate their desserts in small bites)
The cafeteria, which had been somewhat quiet, became a bit lively again due to the arrival of Fang Yun and the other four.
Time slowly passed in laughter and conversation.
Twenty minutes later, Fang Yun and the other four finished lunch and left the cafeteria.
Toke parted ways midway back because his tent was not in the same place as Fang Yun and the other three.
Returning to his tent, Fang Yun decided to take a nap while the Old Captain hadn't given out the next commission yet.
"「I've sent Vavinia several messages, but she only replied 'Let's talk when I get back to the camp.' Why do I feel a bit panicked about this?」"
"「No, why the hell am I panicking? I didn't do anything wrong.」"
Fang Yun always felt inexplicably guilty, but didn't understand why.
"〖Author: (Smiling)〗"
"Cough, anyway, go sleep in your own tents first."
"The night you two were kidnapped by the Four-Eyed Gang, you probably didn't get a good night's sleep, right?"
"After you wake up, I'll arrange what you need to do next."
"Just confidently leave everything to me. I will guide you in your growth until you can stand on your own."
Fang Yun's expression was serious, and he patted his chest as he made this promise to Hua Meiying and the other.
After hearing Fang Yun's promise, Hua Meiying and Bai Xuerou felt as if his figure suddenly became incredibly tall.
"Mm, we'll listen to you."
Hua Meiying and Bai Xuerou looked at Fang Yun's serious expression with a hint of infatuation.
After a few seconds, Fang Yun saw that they were still staring at him blankly, and could only helplessly cough to wake them up:
"Cough."
"Alright, go rest."
Hua Meiying and Bai Xuerou, who had come back to their senses, had flushed faces and didn't dare to say much more to Fang Yun. After saying "Mm," they supported each other and hurried towards their own tent.
After watching Hua Meiying and the other enter their tent, Fang Yun finally turned around and walked into his own tent.
What Fang Yun didn't know was that after he turned around, Hua Meiying and Bai Xuerou secretly poked their heads out of the tent again and looked at his back.
Although Fang Yun's figure was soon blocked by the tent, Hua Meiying and Bai Xuerou still looked in the direction where he disappeared for a while.
"Fang Yun is so gentle." (Hua Meiying)
"And very handsome." (Bai Xuerou)
"I feel... a bit strange." (Hua Meiying twisted her body)
"Me too..." (Bai Xuerou, blushing, rubbed her legs together)
Hua Meiying turned her head and exchanged a glance with Bai Xuerou.
"Let's go, inside." (Hua Meiying and Bai Xuerou simultaneously pulled their heads back into the tent)
"What do you think about molding the featureless dummy in the 'training ground' to look like Fang Yun?" (Hua Meiying)
"...Although the dummy's appearance can only be molded once, I agree." (Bai Xuerou)
"Then, should we still do it together, like when we trained at the company?" (Hua Meiying's pretty face was flushed, and she skillfully reached out and placed her hand on Bai Xuerou's lower abdomen)
"Of course, we promised to always be together and help each other." (Bai Xuerou smiled charmingly and also extended her hand)
(Ten thousand words omitted below)
...
Fang Yun lay on the wool bed, immersed in dreamless sleep.
Suddenly, Fang Yun felt a hand placed on his chest, which startled him awake from his sleep.
"Who's there!"
Although Fang Yun knew he was in the Buckle Family Camp and it was highly unlikely for an enemy to sneak into his tent without a sound, necessary vigilance was still required.
Fang Yun suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed the hand on his chest.
Following the hand, a person unexpected by Fang Yun appeared before him.
"Vavinia?"
