Kiana and Bronya helped Sister Elysia and Mei back to the dormitory.
Upon arriving at the dormitory, Sister Elysia and Mei both lay down on the living room sofa.
Kiana and Bronya, meanwhile, were passionately battling it out on a game console they had seemingly pulled out of nowhere, connected to the living room TV.
After resting for a while, Mei sat up from the sofa, glanced at the two playing games, then looked at Sister Elysia who was still resting, and stood up, walking towards the kitchen.
"Mei, I'll help you." Kiana saw Mei walking towards the kitchen, and it gave her a perfect excuse to abandon the game console; she was about to lose! She would never admit she couldn't beat Bronya!
Watching Kiana run off, Bronya also put down her controller.
She looked at the two busy in the kitchen, then turned her gaze to Sister Elysia, who was still lying on the sofa.
Walking over to Sister Elysia, Bronya quietly watched her.
Sister Elysia opened her eyes and saw Bronya standing beside her. "Bronya, what's wrong?" Sister Elysia seemed disinclined to move.
Bronya didn't speak, reaching out and pressing on Sister Elysia's body. "Bronya is fine. Bronya will give you a massage."
"Alright." Sister Elysia rolled over, directly lying face down on the sofa.
Sister Elysia lay face down on the sofa and closed her eyes, waiting for Bronya's massage.
At home, Sister Elysia didn't have as much psychological burden; during training, all her classmates were there, and Sister Elysia was truly a bit embarrassed.
It was different here in the dormitory; Sister Elysia was familiar with everyone here.
As Bronya massaged little by little, Sister Elysia's muscles slowly relaxed.
"A little higher, mm, yes, yes, right there." Sister Elysia even started giving instructions.
When she was almost done massaging, Bronya took off her shoes and stood on a stool.
After Bronya's movements stopped, Sister Elysia opened her eyes in confusion, then saw Bronya directly stepping on her back.
Initially, Sister Elysia was a bit resistant, but as Bronya moved, Sister Elysia felt her lower back muscles slowly relax, and her whole body felt light and airy.
While Sister Elysia was enjoying herself, in the kitchen...
"Kiana, help me wash these vegetables." Mei was directing Kiana to help wash the vegetables.
A moment later, "Mei, Mei, they're washed~" Kiana handed Mei the vegetables, at least half of which were gone after her washing.
Mei looked at the remaining vegetables in her hand; what was originally a ramen-bowl-sized cabbage was now only slightly larger than a tomato. Then she looked at the vegetable leaves in the nearby trash can and sighed helplessly.
According to Kiana's method of washing vegetables, normally purchased vegetables might not even be enough for one meal.
"Alright, Kiana, now take this cabbage in your hand and chop it. Remember to be careful not to cut your hand." Mei sighed inwardly before speaking gently.
"Yes, Mei, I'll go chop the vegetables now." Mei watched Kiana take the cabbage to the cutting board, then she picked up another cabbage, got a small basin, peeled the cabbage leaf by leaf, then added some clean water and began to wash it.
After washing, she directly poured out the water, then glanced at Kiana again.
Kiana was holding a small cleaver, diligently chopping the cabbage, wanting to cut it evenly.
After confirming that Kiana was fine, Mei directly took out the wok and turned on the stove.
She placed the wok on the fire to dry any residual moisture, then Mei tore the cabbage in the basin by hand. By the time she finished tearing, the moisture in the wok had dried.
Then she poured in cooking oil, added various spices in order, and then poured in the already torn cabbage.
Kiana had also almost finished chopping the cabbage in her hand. "Kiana, put the chopped cabbage into this basin and hand it to me."
"Okay, Mei." Kiana quickly took the basin and then carefully placed her chopped cabbage into it.
Looking at the cabbage in the basin Kiana handed over, Mei sighed inwardly again. "Alright, Kiana, now go play outside for a while. I'll call you when dinner is ready."
"Mm-hmm, Mei." With that, Kiana ran out directly.
Mei looked at the cabbage in the basin, which was almost chopped into tiny pieces, and sighed. Fortunately, Kiana had left the cabbage stems untouched, otherwise, this cabbage would have been truly wasted.
She directly took out the cabbage stems and threw them into the trash can, then Mei took out plastic wrap and directly wrapped the basin.
These cabbages were definitely unusable now; they could only be made into steamed buns tomorrow morning, or... Mei thought of the dumplings from Shenzhou, or perhaps make them into dumplings tomorrow?
She wouldn't consider these things for now; she would focus on making this dinner first. Mei thought to herself as she stir-fried the cabbage in her hand.
Kiana, who had returned to the living room, happened to see Bronya standing on Sister Elysia's back.
"Bronya, what are you doing! How can you stand on Sister Elysia's body!" Kiana immediately ran to Bronya's side, intending to sternly stop Bronya's behavior.
"Kiana is indeed a single-celled organism incapable of thinking. Bronya is massaging Sister Elysia." Bronya did not stop her movements and immediately retorted after hearing Kiana's words.
"But isn't massage done with hands! You're using your feet! Sister Elysia, if Bronya is bullying you, you must tell me!" Kiana said, looking at Sister Elysia, hoping to get an affirmative answer from her.
Sister Elysia turned her head to Kiana. "Kiana, Bronya isn't bullying me. This is just a special massage technique. Mm~"
"So Kiana, don't interfere with Bronya here," Bronya said emotionlessly.
"There's really such a massage technique?" Kiana selectively ignored Bronya's words. "Then, can I give Mei a massage like this?" Kiana mumbled softly.
Sister Elysia and Bronya, who were next to Kiana, heard this sentence completely. Bronya directly turned her head to Kiana. "Bronya thinks it's best not to try if you haven't learned it."
"You can give Sister Elysia a massage like this, why can't I give Mei a massage like this!" Kiana retorted.
"Because Bronya has studied this knowledge, and Kiana has not," Bronya said, staring at Kiana.
"I can go learn too!"
"But you don't know how right now, and Bronya doesn't think Kiana can learn."
"Bronya! You're underestimating this genius! I can definitely learn it!"
"Bronya thinks Kiana is just a three-minute wonder and won't last long."
Sister Elysia, who was familiar with Kiana, also spoke up at this moment. "Kiana, I think you can try watching videos of regular massages first, but don't try them on people."
Listening to Sister Elysia, Kiana looked proudly at Bronya. "Hmph, Bronya, look, Sister Elysia even believes me!"
"Bronya thinks Sister Elysia means to see if you can watch the video completely," Bronya interpreted Sister Elysia's meaning mercilessly.
"Sister Elysia, is that what you meant?" Kiana looked at Sister Elysia again, putting some pressure on her.
"Sister Elysia thinks it's better for Kiana to watch the videos first, because there's a lot to remember for massages, and if it's not done well, it will make the person being massaged uncomfortable, you know." Sister Elysia continued to persuade Kiana.
Bronya had also finished her massage, so she stepped off Sister Elysia and onto a chair, then sat down and put her indoor shoes back on, sitting obediently beside Sister Elysia.
