Jiangxi City could not really be considered a big city.
In 2006, there were not a lot of Japanese cuisine restaurants, so business was booming.
Yun Hua did not like rice, so she did not care for any foods that were grain-shaped. Sushi was not just about rice, so she did eat some, but she was not a fan of it.
Xiao Ruyue, on the other hand, loved eating sushi. To be more precise, she liked the elegance of Japanese restaurants, but it was not limited to Japanese cuisine. She also liked Western cuisine since it had more of a foreign flavor.
"Hua Hua, do you want to try salmon? Its color is so pretty. I think salmon tastes like fruit. It doesn't even have the fishy smell typical of fish!" said Xiao Ruyue excitedly.
Yun Hua smiled. "I've never tried it before; I'll just have a taste.
Xiao Ruyue happily ordered on Yun Hua's behalf.
"Being a form teacher must be tough. Kids this age aren't easy to discipline," said Yun Congjun tenderly while he helped Xiao Qiuci, who was sitting next to him. His tone was especially tender, very unlike his usual tough image.
"It's okay. The students are quite mature." Xiao Qiuci smiled.
"That's not true," said Yun Hua out of nowhere with an indignant tone, "Han Lulu slapped Yun Hua the other day!"
"Yue Yue was beaten?" Yun Congjun's eyes widened instantly; his expression turned ugly. "Who is Han Lulu! What's the school doing?"
"Uncle Yun, it's fine. Han Lulu was in a bad mood…" said Xiao Ruyue hurriedly.
"She hit someone because she was in a bad mood? Yue Yue is so gentle; that Han Lulu must think that Yue Yue is a pushover! Yun Hua, what were you doing? Didn't you know to help Yue Yue when she was being bullied? To think Yue Yue treats you so well and your Auntie Xiao also regards you as her own daughter, yet you stand by and watch others bully Yue Yue?" Yun Congjun's voice was solemn.
Yun Hua was so scared that she was on the brink of tears. She pursed her lips as if forcing back tears. "Han Lulu was too fierce. She called Yue Yue a sl*t and struck immediately. I couldn't even react in time…"
"Uncle Yun, Hua Hua's not to blame for this. Han Lulu is too arrogant, but it's nothing; it's all in the past now. Hua Hua did help me later, right Hua Hua?" Xiao Ruyue smiled, her eyes filled with strength. She played the part of an innocent, demure girl really well.
Yun Hua nodded hurriedly. "Han Lulu is crazy! She caught her dad and aunt committing adultery together in front of many classmates. Yue Yue wasn't even there, but for some reason, Han Lulu insists that Yue Yue was behind this! How would Yue Yue even learn of their family scandal!" she said indignantly.
Yun Congjun's expression was stoic.
"Han Lulu's aunt was our form teacher. She's even a grade one teacher, and she's always commended. But she was a mistress, to her brother-in-law no less! How did the school appoint someone like her as our teacher! It's much better that Auntie Xiao is our form teacher now. She's so nice; she'll never be a third party like Han Lulu's aunt, right Auntie Xiao?"
Yun Hua noticed that her speech made Xiao Qiuci's expression harden. Xiao Ruyue's lips were pursed too.
Of course, Yun Congjun's expression was not much better either!
Hehe, I said that on purpose. Since Xiao Qiuci wants to be Yun Congjun's mistress, she shouldn't be afraid of being talked about.
Yun Hua hugged Xiao Ruyue's arm intimately. "I don't even understand why some people are interested in becoming a third party in other people's marriages! It's as if other people's things are better, and they have to take it from them! It's so shameless and low! All mistresses deserve to die a miserable death! Yue Yue, what do you think?"
