At first, they were having fun and didn’t pay attention to the ordinary-looking fruit. Xiaowu, who was having a great time, casually grabbed the fruit beside her and took a bite. She then was amazed by the delicious taste. After seeing the several people around who were playing happily and hardly paid attention to the fruit, she did not tell the other four people about it but kept speeding up to stuff her mouth with the fruit desperately.

Gradually, the others realized something was wrong because Xiaowu was rarely silent like this, and she was extremely picky about food. Now she was eating the fruit desperately. They quickly grabbed the fruit plate and tasted the fruit before they started fighting for the fruit until the plate was empty.

Huangfu Yi looked at them with contempt. He ate that kind of fruit every day. He could eat as much as he wanted. He found that the things Murong Xue took out were rather delicious as if he had never eaten such delicious things before. Even the food that Murong Xue cooked was extremely delicious. He would get very full every time he ate.

These five people looked at the empty plate in a daze. They were not foolish. Of course, they knew that the fruit was extraordinary. It seemed that Murong Xue truly treated them as friends. Should they tell her their real identities? They were quite hesitant.

They understood each other's thoughts, but their identities had been kept secret and never made public.

Xiaosan lifted Xiaowu's collar. "You actually want to eat them alone!" He didn't forget the way this girl was devouring just now and didn't intend to tell them.

Xiaowu shrank back and whispered, "No, no, I thought you guys didn't want to eat." The more she said, the lower her voice got. Because the other four were staring at her coldly, she almost burst into tears. They were only a few pieces of fruit. Was it necessary to stare at her so bitterly? Fortunately, Xiaowu was glad that she ate a few more pieces.

"Forget it. Let her go. What do you think, guys?" Laoda glanced at Murong Xue who was still busy in the kitchen and said in a deep voice.

All of them fell silent, and then Xiaosi spoke first, "Anyway, I like her very much. You guys figure it out."

"I like her, too!" Xiaowu pouted her lips and said.

The three men looked at each other. It was not that they didn’t like Murong Xue, but they were a bit more sensible than the girls. Eventually, Xiaosan said, "Let’s talk about it later, and she didn’t ask us, either. If she asks, we'll make a decision then."

The others nodded their heads, having no objection.

At this time, Murong Xue had already finished cooking dinner and was coming out with the food. Xiaowu saw it immediately and hopped over to help. "Xiaoliu, let me help you..." Before she got close to the kitchen, she already smelled the scent. She secretly swallowed her saliva, suddenly feeling very hungry.

Xiaosi also walked over to help bring out the food while the three boys packed up the cards they had just messed up and put them back in place.

"Come over to eat. It's time for dinner!" Murong Xue said.

Everyone moved to the dining room, and even Huangfu Yi couldn't wait to walk over. He was not hungry, but he thought he could finally stay with Murong Xue. Although there were a few irrelevant people, he could simply ignore them.

The Gang of Five gaped at the abundant dishes on the table. They didn’t expect Murong Xue’s cooking skills to be so good. They thought that there would be only ordinary homemade dishes. Now it seemed that Murong Xue’s cooking skills were simply better than the culinary skills of a chef at a five-star restaurant.

"Xiaoliu, you're amazing!" Xiaowu looked at the table full of delicious dishes with her eyes lighting up.

Murong Xue smiled gently, "Don't be shy. Just suit yourself. We are all classmates. Don't be too reserved. There are no elders here..."

In the beginning, they were able to maintain their images. Gradually, the more they ate, the more delicious they felt. Moreover, Xiaowu was devouring regardless of how she looked. The others couldn't help but start to gorge themselves on the food.

Watching everyone devouring, Huangfu Yi didn’t even pick up his chopsticks, and he intuitively disliked sharing with them. It seemed that he rejected them from the bottom of his heart. He had an illusion that they shouldn’t be at the same table with him at all, but he couldn’t know why he felt this way.

Murong Xue didn't eat much. Looking at the empty plates on the table, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. Why did everyone who ate the food she cooked for the first time look like this? But it could only express how impressive the Space was.

The people who had feasted on the food finally realized their unrestrained behavior and said shyly, "Ah, the food Xiaoliu cooked is extremely delicious." The other four nodded wildly.

Murong Xue could only smile. They were her friends now. Such behavior could also be regarded as straightforwardness. "You all go sit and rest for a while. I'll clean up here..."

"I'll help you clean up!" Xiaosi said.

Murong Xue hurriedly waved her hand. "No, I can do it by myself. Go and sit, you guys. I'll come out soon..." After she finished speaking, she quickly picked up the plates on the table.

Xiaosi did not leave but helped to clean up, and Xiaowu was also with her. The boys walked directly to the living room. There would be too many people if they went to help. It would be enough if Xiaosi and Xiaowu went along.

Huangfu Yi still sat in his seat. Of course, Murong Xue also found that he didn’t eat much for dinner. Maybe he was not used to dining with other people. Later, she would cook some porridge for him alone. When having dinner, he unexpectedly became quiet. He used to talk to her non-stop.

The three girls talked a lot while washing dishes in the kitchen.

"Xiaoliu, only you and your brother live here?" Xiaowu asked while washing the plate.

Murong Xue smiled, "I came to the capital because I was admitted to the University of Medicine. Usually, only my brother and I live here. My parents are in A province."

"Ha-ha, Xiaoliu is independent, and the food you cook is delicious. I can't do it. I always eat fast food outside." Xiaosi complained.

"If you like to eat, you are welcome to come over and eat at any time. Anyway, I cook by myself. I don’t like to eat things outside. By the way, you guys live in school, right? It’s so late. I don't know if the school is closed. Why don't you just stay at my house? The rooms on the third floor are still empty. No one lives there." Murong Xue said.

"Okay, let's live here, Xiaosi." Xiaowu said excitedly. This was the first time she had lived in a friend's house other than the houses of the members of their group. It felt so novel.

Xiaosi smiled helplessly at Murong Xue, "I'm sorry for disturbing you, Xiaoliu."

"Not at all. I'm glad that you guys can stay. Anyway, my house is usually so quiet, and it'll be lively with more people here." Murong Xue was indeed pleased. She didn't know why she liked lively scenes and friends after being reborn. She was a little bit afraid of loneliness. She always felt that the nightmare in her previous life was so terrifying that she could not help but lapse into that nightmare and could not get rid of it when she was alone.

But when standing next to her friends, she would always be warmed by their friendship, which gradually helped her get far away from the darkness.

"Ha-ha, Xiaoliu, thank you. We have a great time tonight!" Xiaosi said.

Murong Xue also showed a beam of delight. "I need to thank you all for standing by my side today. Thank you..."

"Well, stop thanking each other. We've finished cleaning up the dishes. Let's go out." Xiaowu said.

"You guys go. My brother has no appetite tonight, so I'll make some porridge for him before I join you." Murong Xue didn't forget Huangfu Yi, so she said to Xiaosi and Xiaowu apologetically.

"Well, we'll wait for you outside!" Xiaosi wouldn't mind.

Murong Xue took out the ingredients again and prepared to stew some porridge for Huangfu Yi. His body hadn't fully recovered yet. She was going to put some medicinal herbs in the porridge for him.

At this time, Huangfu Yi walked in. "Sister..." His voice was a bit low, which sounded unhappy.

Murong Xue asked while watching the stewing porridge, "What's wrong, Yi?"

"Nothing..." For the first time, Huangfu Yi knew that Murong Xue would laugh so happily even without him entertaining her. She was even happier than she was in front of him. Did friends truly mean so much to Murong Xue?

She looked up at Huangfu Yi in surprise and found that he was unusually silent tonight. He had a slightly lonely look on his face. Murong Xue stepped forward worriedly, "Yi, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Huangfu Yi shook his head. He didn't feel unwell. He just discovered a fact that made him extremely unhappy. He was not the only one that could make Murong Xue happy.

Murong Xue remembered that he only had the memory of 5 years old now. He might be afraid of strangers like a normal child. He might not be used to the sudden arrival of so many friends at home. Hence she stepped forward and hugged him gently in the same way as her parents comforted her in the past. "Don't worry. They are my good friends. They won't hurt you. Don't be afraid..."

Huangfu Yi hugged Murong Xue almost subconsciously. Only when Murong Xue hugged him did he feel at ease. Her embrace was truly comfortable.

Soon, Murong Xue let go of him. She didn't really know how to get along with a five-year-old kid, and she didn't even remember what she was like when she was five. But maybe her mind was very simple back then, so she tried to imagine his problem as simple as possible.

Soon the porridge was cooked. After Murong Xue ladled the food to him, she let him eat slowly. She then went to accompany her friends. They talked a lot, but Murong Xue didn't ask them about their identities because she felt that they would tell her if they were willing to. If she tried to ask them, they might be embarrassed.
