After cooking, Ye Yuan and I brought the dishes to the table and ate together. While eating, I noticed that Ye Yuan only ate rice and vegetables, so I frowned slightly, then without saying a word, continuously put food into his bowl.
Ye Yuan was a bit stunned, and stammered:
"Ah... there's too much, I can't finish it all."
I calmly replied:
"That won't do. If I don't eat a lot, how can I grow?"
He lowered his voice again:
"But..."
I frowned:
"No buts. If you don't eat, I'll be angry."
Hearing that, Ye Yuan obediently continued eating. During the meal, I told a few funny stories, making the atmosphere at the table more lively. Ye Yuan also gradually smiled more, her sad expression was gone.
After eating, I cleaned up the dishes, and Ye Yuan also helped me. While washing the dishes, the two of us were still playing with the foam, laughing and joking. I threw the foam on his nose, teasing:
"Oh! You take this move!"
Foam was all over Ye Yuan's face, I burst out laughing:
"Haha, you look so funny!"
Ye Yuan also threw it back, responding:
"I'll take your move too!"
Laughter echoed throughout the dormitory, making the space here unusually warm.
After washing the dishes, I urged:
" Ye Yuan, go take a shower."
He hesitated:
"Or... you take a shower first, I'll take a shower later."
I shook my head, gently pushing him into the bathroom:
"No. I'll take a shower first, you're fine."
Finally, Ye Yuan listened. While he was bathing, I got a text message on my phone - it was Zhao Kha Nhien, my best friend, asking me to go out with my friends tomorrow. I thought for a moment and then texted back:
"Then can I bring more people?"
The other side replied immediately:
"Sure, the more the merrier!"
Then texted again:
"That's right, who are you bringing? Your lover?"
I looked at the message and was a bit speechless with this best friend who quickly typed:
"Your lover! Thinking about random things all day long."
She texted back:
"Then who is it? It makes me so curious!"
I laughed and replied:
"You'll know tomorrow."
At that moment, Da Uyen's voice rang out from behind, timidly:
"I've finished showering…"
I turned around and saw his clean, beautiful appearance. In my heart, I chanted 7749 magic spells to restrain myself, not to "get a nosebleed" because of my image.
But I quickly realized that Da Uyen's clothes were old and worn out. I was about to ask when I saw that he seemed nervous, his hand lightly squeezing the edge of his shirt. I paused, my words stuck in my throat. In the end, I just pretended to be calm:
Da Uyen, sit down. I'm going to take a shower.
He obediently replied:
"Yes..."
In his heart, he was only thinking:
"Luckily, he doesn't dislike me..."
As for me, while I was taking a shower, I was silently making plans - tomorrow I would take Da Uyen to buy some new clothes and buy him a phone. I thought, maybe he should have his own means of communication.
After I finished showering and came out, I saw Da Uyen still waiting for me. A little surprised, I asked:
"You haven't slept yet?"
"I... I'll wait for you to sleep before I go to sleep."
I was stunned, then smiled and nodded.
"Then let's go to sleep together?"
While lying on the bed, I told Da Uyen a fairy tale. Suddenly he said softly:
"You..."
"What's wrong? Isn't the story good?"
No... it's very good... but can I... can I call you by your name?
I was stunned. How did Da Uyen live that she had to ask for permission to even name herself like that?
Seeing me silent, Da Uyen quickly lowered her head:
"If you don't want to, it's fine..."
I was startled, awkwardly saying:
"Ah... okay, why not?"
He looked up, his eyes sparkling:
"Really... really?"
I smiled:
"Um. Then... can I call you A Uyen?"
Da Uyen nodded slightly, her face slightly red. Thinking to herself:
"Like this... you and A Xuyen will be closer, right?"
I patted his head:
"Let's go to sleep. Tomorrow I'll take A Uyen out to play."
"Yes! As long as Brother A Xuyen doesn't dislike me, I'm happy..."
I smiled gently, talked for a while, and then we both fell asleep.
