Chapter 60: She Felt the Taste Was Off

Jiang Wanyi walked away in high spirits, carrying the things that needed to be washed to the bathroom.

Chen Yuan led Rice Grain into the playpen, accompanied her to play, and practiced her crawling and sensory perception of the world.

At the same time, he was chatting with Song Jianian, who was memorizing vocabulary in the library, and they had agreed to go practice driving together tomorrow.

"Bring the baby over, time for her bath."

"Okay."

Chen Yuan handed the baby over to Jiang Wanyi and headed to the kitchen.

"There are drinks in the fridge, help yourself to whatever you want."

"I'll boil something for you."

"Don't bother, I have more than enough milk production now, she can't even finish it all."

"I'll make something to replenish your vital energy and blood; you're a bit frail right now."

A warm feeling washed over Jiang Wanyi, and she smiled, saying, "You really are a warm guy."

"Hey, hey, hey, no cursing."

"I'm praising you."

Jiang Wanyi went to give the baby a bath while Chen Yuan opened the refrigerator. The necessary ingredients had already been bought beforehand, and he just needed to put them into the health pot in the correct proportions.

The recipe for the lactation-boosting soup was not suitable to be sold publicly, but if this stuff were put on the market to sell, it should turn a pretty profit.

After preparing the qi- and blood-replenishing soup, Jiang Wanyi was still in the bathroom bathing the child.

The mother and daughter were having a great time and didn't seem to need him much, so he returned to the sofa in the living room.

There was a message from Jiang Shuyi on WeChat.

She really was a woman of action; the matter they discussed yesterday was brought up to Jin Yechao today, and the two quickly reached a consensus, even setting up the account already.

[Zhonghai University of Technology External Relations Department]

Followed.

The next step was the content, and they agreed to hold a brief meeting on Sunday night to discuss the account affairs.

However, this matter was indeed a bit challenging; running an account was no easy task.

Otherwise, everyone would be getting rich on TikTok, and how could it ever be his turn to make this money?

After finishing the chat with Jiang Shuyi, he noticed a new friend request on his phone.

Nickname: 7°

Note: Fang Youngning.

It was a very minimalist name, not nearly as poetic as his own "The old folks of South Village bully me for lacking strength."

Accept friend request.

Out of politeness, he decided to send a greeting first, but seeing the words "The other party is typing..." appear on the screen,

he simply didn't rush, poured himself a cup of cappuccino, and waited to see what she had to say.

Apartment 11, 209.

Fang Youngning lay on her bed, wearing cotton pajamas, staring at her phone screen.

Seeing that Chen Yuan had accepted her friend request, she intended to send him a message to tell him the results of today's competition.

After typing it out, Fang Youngning deleted the content again.

She pouted, puffing out her delicate pink cheeks, reluctant to talk to him.

Clearly, she had dropped so many hints, yet he hadn't even added her as a friend.

Five minutes passed by, and the chat interface remained completely empty, without a single incoming message.

Why wouldn't he even say a single word to her!

She had already taken the initiative to add him as a friend, what else did he want her to do!

Waiting for a few more minutes, still no message came.

Should she take the initiative?

That seemed acceptable since she had legitimate business to discuss with him.

Fang Youngning: "[Smile.JPG]"

Fang Youngning: "The competition narrowing down from 70 to 30 is over, there should be results soon."

One minute...

Two minutes...

Three minutes...

A full five minutes passed without receiving a reply from Chen Yuan.

Fang Youngning's little brain began to brainstorm.

Since he had already added her as a friend, it meant he was holding his phone.

She had even taken the initiative to message him; why wasn't he replying?

Could there be someone with him, making it inconvenient for her to text?

It was a boys' dorm, surely that wouldn't affect anything, right?

Was he not in the dorm?

Was he with other girls?

Thinking this over and over, Fang Youngning could only come up with this one possibility.

He seemed quite impressive; not only could he sing, but he could also play basketball, and he was so tall that she only reached his chin when standing next to him.

It seemed quite normal for girls to like him.

Looking at what she had sent, there was nothing wrong with it; she was contacting him for proper business, so what did it matter even if someone saw it?

Or was it that the smiling emoji caused a misunderstanding?

How annoying!

"Yangyang."

The girl named Yangyang was actually Sun Mengyang, ranked third in the dorm. From the day she enrolled, she had firmly stated she would never date in college and claimed that all men were scum, including her father.

Since she didn't even spare her own blood relatives, there was nothing more to criticize.

"I want to ask you a question."

"Go ahead."

"If you send a message to a guy and he keeps ignoring you, what could be the reason?"

"There are many reasons, like getting hit by a car, getting bitten by a dog, dropping his phone on the ground and having it crushed by a car. Anyway, there are all kinds of reasons. Why are you suddenly asking this out of the blue?"

"Uh... no, I was just asking casually."

At this moment, Chen Yuan was indeed quite busy because Rice Grain had finished her bath, and he had carried her back to the secondary bedroom.

After drying her body, he applied talcum powder, left her without clothes, and played with her using toys.

Just then, Jiang Wanyi walked in, wiping the sweat from her forehead.

"Give her to me. I'll feed her, and then I can coax her to sleep."

Chen Yuan glanced at his phone; it was indeed time for bed.

Handing the child over to Jiang Wanyi, Chen Yuan walked out and saw the message Fang Youngning had sent.

Chen Yuan: "Did they eliminate me?"

Fang Youngning: "I insisted on keeping you, but Li Dongyang disagreed. If your name isn't on the final list, I'll go give him a piece of my mind."

Chen Yuan: "Don't. It's actually fine if I'm eliminated, don't worry too much about such trivial matters."

Chen Yuan was already content; if he stayed in, he'd continue singing nursery rhymes, but if he didn't make it, it wasn't a pity either.

Fang Youngning: "I feel this is what you deserve. If you don't advance, I'll quit the Literary Department; I don't want to stay in this place anymore."

Chen Yuan scratched his head. If she really did that, wouldn't he end up owing her a favor?

"Little brother."

Just as he was about to reply, Jiang Wanyi's voice came from the bedroom, accompanied by the crying of Rice Grain.

Putting down his phone, he came to the bedroom door and saw Jiang Wanyi with her back facing him, revealing a plump, graceful waist.

"What's wrong?"

"During dinner, I only fed her a little rice cereal and fruit puree, and she didn't eat anything else in between. When I tried to feed her just now, she refused to eat and spat it out the moment it touched her mouth. Did she catch a cold or something during the bath and feel uncomfortable?"

As Jiang Wanyi coaxed the child, her face was filled with anxiety.

"Don't worry, on such a hot day, it's unlikely she caught a cold."

Chen Yuan walked over, and Jiang Wanyi pulled down her clothes, revealing some white marks on her chest.

Seeing Chen Yuan, Rice Grain smiled again, opening her arms and wanting to be held in his arms.

Taking Rice Grain into his arms, he reached out and touched her forehead.

"Judging by her condition, she should be fine."

Chen Yuan looked at Jiang Wanyi and asked,

"Is she refusing to eat completely? Any other symptoms?"

"No, she just spits it out as soon as it enters her mouth, and she even bit me."

Chen Yuan frowned, pondering the reason, and then looked at Jiang Wanyi.

"I think I know the reason."

"What reason?"

"When you gave her a bath just now, you were bustling about for a long time and worked up a sweat. Your body odor changed, so she sensed the wrong smell and refused to eat."
