Are you stupid? I am the villain behind the scenes

Hua Chaochao and Hua Xi went to Jiangcheng to accompany their grandparents for more than ten days, and then returned to Baicheng a few days before school started.

The next day after returning home, there were only two people and a dog left in Hua's house, as everyone else had gone out.

Hua Xi stayed in the room on the third floor, while Hua Chaochao was on the first floor, pouring dog food into Happy's dog bowl.

Happy wagged his tail excitedly and lowered his head to eat.

Hua Chaochao squatted beside it, propping up her chin with one hand and gently stroking Happy with the other, muttering, "School is about to start, why hasn't your dad come back yet?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Happy suddenly stopped eating, and then ran out the door.

Hua Chaochao looked at Happy's running back and stood up, "Speaking of the devil, here he comes."

As soon as Yi Mu walked into the courtyard, he was suddenly pounced upon by a white figure.

Hua Chaochao's voice came from behind Happy, "Happy, you haven't finished your meal yet, where are you going?"

Hua Chaochao followed Happy out and saw Yi Mu standing at the gate. She pretended to be surprised and called out, "Oh! It's you."

"I was just asking Happy why you haven't come back yet." Hua Chaochao walked up to Yi Mu and said with a smile.

When Yi Mu heard Hua Chaochao's words, he was stunned. What she meant was... she was thinking about him?

Yi Mu's heartbeat suddenly quickened, and an indescribable joy surged in his heart.

He thought that since he hadn't heard from her for so long, she would be angry or even forget about him.

After all, to her, he was just a pastime when she was bored.

"Oh, right!" Hua Chaochao suddenly turned around and walked back. "Your admission letter is here with me. Wait, I'll get it for you."

When the admission letters from the Imperial University were sent home, Hua Chaochao and Hua Xi were in Xuanzhou, and Yi Mu was under house arrest on the island by an old Taoist priest. In other words, none of the three were at home, and in the end it was Huo Siqing who signed for them.

Hua Chaochao had just taken two steps when her hand was held by a strong force. Before she could react, her whole body fell into a broad and warm embrace.

"The notice is not important. Let me hold you for a while, just a while." Yi Mu closed his eyes and hugged Hua Chaochao tightly with his arms, as if he wanted to merge her into his body.

Hua Chaochao rested her chin on Yi Mu's shoulder, blinked her bright big eyes, then stretched out her arms and gently hugged Yi Mu back.

It seemed that it would be very difficult to escape from the old Taoist priest's surveillance, so she would just do it reluctantly and comfort him mercifully.

In fact, Yi Mu did sneak back.

Just yesterday, Yi Mu successfully left Lotus Island with the help of Tan Xiu while the old Taoist priest was sleeping.

"You must have been very tired in the past few months. Your waist has become thinner." Hua Chaochao did not forget to take advantage of Yi Mu while hugging him. She touched his waist dishonestly with her hand. She could clearly feel through the fabric of his clothes that his waist circumference was smaller than before.

Her gaze moved down and landed on Happy's round, fatter belly.

It turns out that all the meat has grown on it.

Happy seemed to sense the meaning in Hua Chaochao's gaze and opened his mouth to call out to her.

"Woof woof (I'm not fat)!"

Yi Mu was not affected by Happy's shouting at all. He buried his head in Hua Chaochao's neck and replied, "Not tired."

He just couldn't eat it.

Hua Xi went downstairs to drink water and heard Happy calling outside.

Happy rarely barks normally, so Hua Xi wanted to see why Happy was barking. She walked towards the source of the sound and saw two people hugging each other tightly at the door. She turned around and walked back immediately.

Don’t look at anything inappropriate, don’t look at anything inappropriate…

Happy barked a few times, but when he saw that the two people hugging ignored him, he went back into the house in boredom and continued to eat the meal he had just finished halfway.

Yi Mu said he would hold her for a while, but in fact, he finally let her go when Hua Chaochao's legs were almost numb from standing.

After Yi Musong blossomed, his first words were to ask tremblingly: "Don't you blame me?"

"What do you blame me for?" Hua Chaochao asked with a puzzled look on her face.

"I disappeared for a few months and didn't reply to your messages."

"Oh, so you knew that too." Hua Chaochao deliberately put on a stern face and pretended to be angry.

Seeing Yi Mu visibly panicking, Hua Chaochao couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"I'm just teasing you." Hua Chaochao patted Yi Mu's shoulder in a reasonable manner and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm not angry. Your friend told me that you didn't reply to the message on purpose because it was inconvenient."

Yi Mu frowned slightly: "Friend?"

Hua Chaochao nodded and explained: "She was the girl who was with you when you left the school gate that day."

Yi Mu immediately understood that the "friend" Hua Chaochao was referring to was Pu Yin.

But why did Pu Yin come to Baicheng?

"Where did you meet?"

"The hospital in the imperial capital."

When Yi Mu heard this, his heart tightened and he asked anxiously, "Are you sick?"

Hua Chaochao shook her head and pointed: "It's not me, it's Brother Ji. He was injured and hospitalized. My sister and I went to see him."

Only then did Yi Mu feel relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Hua Chaochao took a big step back and said seriously: "I also have something to tell you. You can't blame me after you hear it."

Yi Mu's heart, which had just been put at ease, was again in suspense.

What would he blame her for?

Could it be that she has a new person to play with and doesn't want him anymore?

When he thought of this, Yi Mu unconsciously clenched his hands behind his back and asked with a slightly trembling voice: "What?"

Hua Chaochao didn't say what it was, but emphasized again: "Promise not to blame me first."

Yi Mu's uneasiness grew stronger. He gritted his teeth and nodded bitterly, "Okay, I agree."

How could he bear to blame her?

It's only him who should be blamed for not coming back earlier.

After getting Yi Mu's assurance, Hua Chaochao smiled with relief, and then slowly said: "Actually, this matter is related to your major."

"I received your message that you want to apply for the same major as me. I'm quite interested in brewing recently, so I filled in the brewing engineering major for both of us."

"But later I found that not many people applied for this major. It can even be said to be an unpopular major. I was worried that you wouldn't like it." Hua Chaochao said at the end, his tone lowered.

It turns out to be a professional thing.

Yi Mu's heart was like a roller coaster, experiencing ups and downs.

"I don't dislike anything. I can do anything."

For him, as long as he can be with Hua Chaochao, it doesn’t matter what major he studies.

Hua Chaochao said happily: "That's good! I'll go get you the admission letter now!"

After saying that, he turned and ran towards the room.

On the way back to the room, the troublemaker asked in confusion: "Host, when did you become interested in brewing wine?"
