When She Stops Being Dramatic novel Chapter 317

Chapter 317: Chapter 120: The Green Tea Female Supporting Character in a Period Novel (7)

A gentle smile played on Chi Yun’er’s lips, but her eyes were a desolate wasteland.

’People are all selfish. No one would bother to cultivate a relationship unless there was something to be gained. Besides, humans, like animals and plants, instinctively pursue advantages and avoid harm.’

’In her past life, their inaction had left her trapped in a quagmire with no hope of escape. But in this life, she had to change her strategy and maintain good relations with everyone to accomplish her plans.’

’The old her would have scorned maintaining such hypocritical, calculated relationships. But survival was truly difficult, and no one could cling to their old stubbornness in the face of certain death!’

"Is Chi here?" a young girl asked in a small, shy voice as she peeked her head in.

Chi Yun’er was a slow eater and had only just taken a couple of bites. She looked toward the voice, smiled, and beckoned the girl over. "I’m here. Come on in."

As she spoke, she pulled a few fruit candies from her pocket and pressed them into the girl’s hands.

It was rare for anyone to come looking for her, especially a girl of about ten. Chi Yun’er watched her with curiosity. ’This never happened in my past life!’

The young girl pursed her lips into a smile and blinked. She pushed the bowl she was holding toward her. "My grandma steamed this egg custard with minced pork for Chi. She even added sesame oil. It smells amazing."

Chi Yun’er was taken aback. The egg tea the other educated youths had promised her was just empty words—who would have given it a second thought? Yet this young girl had just casually handed her a heaping bowl of steamed egg with minced pork. It looked like it was made with two eggs and a generous amount of meat.

The young girl smiled, unwrapped one of the candies, and popped it into her mouth. She carefully tucked the pretty wrapper into her pocket and said indistinctly, "Chi, my grandpa is the village party secretary."

Then she leaned mysteriously toward Chi Yun’er’s ear and whispered in a tiny voice:

"Uncle Jiang was the one who came to our house and specifically told my grandma to do it!"

"And another thing... You and Uncle Jiang really think alike. You both love giving us candy..."

Chi Yun’er’s face flushed, and she couldn’t resist pressing another handful of candy on the girl.

This time, however, the young girl dodged her and ran off with a giggle. "It’s okay, Chi! You can give me more next time."

The others shot gossipy looks toward Chi Yun’er, their gazes veiled and inscrutable.
