CHAPTER 798: CHAPTER 788: IS IT QUIET? NOT REALLY

It was Su Ya who turned back and asked, "Is there any Burn Ointment in the medicine box in the main hall?"

Only then did Xiao Yu go back inside to fetch the medicine box, rummaged through it, and shook his head, "There’s nothing for burns."

If you talk about who’s been burned the most in this small courtyard, it’s undoubtedly the chefs Pei Shuxing and Yu Chang.

Burned by the edge of the pot, hot water, and splattered oil.

Even Su Jincheng, who’s usually responsible for tending the fire, has been burned by flames a few times.

But they pride themselves on being manly men, so even if they get burned, they handle it in a low-key and simple way.

If it’s minor, just run it under cold water, and if there are blisters, poke them, and usually just be careful not to let it get dirty, leave the rest to time.

But seeing Su Ya’s face full of heartache and Su Linlin about to burst into tears, and considering that girls are generally more afraid of pain, Pei Shuxing pursed his lips and suggested, "How about going to the clinic?"

Wei Minmin couldn’t hold it in any longer and turned her head to roll her eyes.

After rolling her eyes, she met Su Jincheng’s gaze catching her little action, and she coughed dryly.

"Then what are you waiting for, hurry and go."

Previously, she only found Su Linlin somewhat unpleasant, and now it has quickly escalated to extremely unpleasant.

She’s only been here for two days, averaging a broken bowl a day.

Yesterday was understandable; it could be chalked up to being unfamiliar with washing dishes.

But today, the hangover soup was already sitting on the stove edge to cool, did you really need to bring it over to show off?

Now the bowl is broken, the hangover soup is ruined, and about the burn on the hand, she really wants to say, serves you right!

Watching the aunt-niece pair leave with the courtyard’s already limited funds, those left behind exchanged silent glances.

Facing the cameras, it wasn’t good to say anything, but fortunately, their eye contact said it all.

This Su Linlin, just leave quickly!

It’s really exhausting!

When Su Linlin came back with Burn Ointment and her hand wrapped in bandages, even Pei Shuxing couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

Is it really that serious?

Wei Minmin was already too lazy to complain.

Xiao Yu, who had figured out Su Linlin’s personality during training, just acted as if he didn’t know her, glanced once, and then looked away.

As for showing concern, it wasn’t possible.

Yu Chang wanted to politely ask what the doctor said, but before he could speak, Xiao Yu dragged him to the sink, "Wash the vegetables!"

"Oh."

As for Su Jincheng, he didn’t even look, sobering up, he went back to his old post, chopping wood with such focus that he didn’t even lift his head.

Jiang Lingxi was sitting on a lounge chair by the lake, holding a homemade bamboo fishing rod, sunglasses covering her face, relaxing and fishing at the same time during a midday nap.

As for Su Linlin, who’s she?

Finally, family head Pei Shuxing, worrying that the atmosphere in the courtyard was too stiff, waved his hand, "You’ve been busy for half a day, and there’s nothing much left to do now, so go back inside and take a rest."

Su Ya forced a smile and led Su Linlin back inside.

After tidying up briefly, she lay on the bed wearily, massaging her throbbing temples, "Sleep!"

She now truly felt that with her niece’s arrival, her leisurely and healthy lifestyle had completely vanished, replaced by chaos.

After just one day, she already felt exceptionally exhausted both physically and mentally.

She sincerely didn’t want to know how the following days would go!

Su Linlin stood by the bed, watching her aunt lie down with her back turned, not wanting to pay her any attention, and couldn’t help but gnash her teeth.

Even though she messed up, she genuinely wanted to help.

Why did it turn out this way?

She was unwilling!

*

In the blink of an eye, it was time to prepare dinner.

After having a hearty meal at noon, they weren’t very hungry in the evening.

But they couldn’t not eat anything.

After gathering to discuss what to make with the available ingredients, they decided to cook a pot of vegetable dumpling soup.

Those who wanted to drink could help themselves, and those who didn’t want to weren’t forced.

Su Linlin’s hand was still bandaged, even though everyone suspected it should be fine by now, no one planned to ask her to help.

In fact, they thought it was better for her hand to stay bandaged, to prevent her from causing more trouble while trying to help.

Everyone else was busy with their tasks, leaving Su Linlin to sit on a bench doing nothing.

That feeling of being excluded by everyone came surging back.

When Wei Minmin finished cutting vegetables and inadvertently turned her head, she caught a glimpse of Su Linlin’s aggrieved expression and couldn’t help but shudder.

What a chill!

After dinner, everyone habitually went out for a walk.

Yesterday, Jiang Lingxi had to sneakily meet Shen Yunqing under Wei Minmin’s cover.

This time, it was much more open since they had already shown themselves during the day.

No matter if others joined the show just for work or for other reasons, she had made up her mind to follow her own pace.

After all, it was rare to find such a relaxed and free job, why make it tiring?

For the next few days, besides keeping an eye on Su Linlin’s movements, Jiang Lingxi’s daily activities included picking fruit on the mountain, catching fish in the river, picking vegetables in the field, fishing by the lake, and going on dates with Shen Yunqing at night.

In the evening, the boat on the lake, and some nice activities sorted out by Shen Yunqing in the resort, she gradually experienced.

In summary, it was a few relaxing and fulfilling days.

However, happy days are always short-lived, and soon it was time to leave the small courtyard.

In the evening, everyone returned to their rooms to rest, and Wei Minmin hugged Jiang Lingxi’s arm, "Xixi, I can’t bear to part with you."

Jiang Lingxi freed her arm, "Don’t act like we won’t see each other again."

Wei Minmin replied with a chuckle, and after shutting off the room’s camera, intentionally lowered her voice, "Su Linlin has surprisingly been quiet these days, I’m a bit unaccustomed."

After all, her pretentious behavior on her first day at the courtyard really left a mark.

Although her performance in the following days wasn’t particularly likable, it was an improvement from the first day.

"Su Ya probably said something to her, plus there are cameras everywhere in the courtyard, and there are people filming outside, she’d need an opportunity to act up."

"True, but I still wish she’d leave quickly, staying here is such an eyesore!"

Just as Jiang Lingxi also felt that maybe Su Linlin had genuinely settled down, the next morning, when she got up and grabbed her phone, she saw a message from Lu Zhengzheng sent in the middle of the night.

[Xixi, someone uploaded a photo online which must have been taken during your closed training. What would you like to do about it?]

Opening the link that came with the message, Jiang Lingxi saw the photo Lu Zhengzheng mentioned.

The photo showed her with Xiao Yu, both in racing suits, their actions seemed a bit ambiguous at first glance, especially in the night.

But she remembered clearly, it was during night racing with Xiao Yu, when Xiao Yu hit his head and almost fell getting out of the car, she quickly helped him.

Ambiguous my ass!

"Wow, this is Xixi and Xiao Yu on the photo, who the hell had nothing better to do and took it?"

Jiang Lingxi pushed away Wei Minmin’s head resting on her shoulder, "Didn’t you just say, someone with nothing better to do."

She closed the photo and scrolled through the comments below.

Wei Minmin couldn’t help peeking again, and when she saw one of the comments, she widened her eyes, "Some people actually believe you and Xiao Yu developed feelings for each other because of the show. Isn’t ’Gale’ just about racing, does it even have romance?"

"It does."

"Huh?"

"Team spirit."

Wei Minmin: "..."

"I’m going to wash up, I’ll make a call."

As for responding, she couldn’t be bothered and would let Director Feng handle it, asking if they could release the complete video.

If anyone insisted on believing otherwise, she wouldn’t explain further.

No need to argue with fools!

Before she could make the call, there was a sudden knock at the door.

Jiang Lingxi threw on a jacket to open the door and saw Xiao Yu standing outside, which didn’t surprise her.

"Saw the photo online?"

Seeing Jiang Lingxi’s calm demeanor despite knowing about the situation, Xiao Yu felt his previously anxious mood smoothened, "Xixi, how do you plan to handle it? I’ll do whatever you say!"
