Just as the back of Xushu’s figure disappeared from the cafeteria entrance, Shazhu turned toward Liu Lan like a victorious rooster, his face beaming with a smug, triumphant smile. His expression seemed to declare that he had just won a grand battle.
"Liu Lan, didn't I tell you he was just here to stir up trouble? Look at that—I drove him off, and he slunk away in disgrace."
As Shazhu spoke with great animation, he triumphantly flicked the large ladle in his hand. Watching his self-satisfied display, Liu Lan frowned slightly. A trace of worry flickered in her eyes; from Xushu’s demeanor and tone earlier, she had never felt he was the type to come and cause trouble for no reason. However, she was merely an ordinary kitchen helper, and her words carried little weight. With a helpless sigh and a shake of her head, she turned back to the vegetable washing sink to continue her work, though in her heart, she couldn't help but feel that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.
