One Garden, Four Loves

Excerpt One:

Peisi stopped what she was doing. Xiaosong and the others all knew that Ouyang Xiu had put his foot in his mouth. Peisi looked at Ouyang with "innocent" eyes, making him shiver. "So the person who kills the chicken is guilty! What about the person who eats it? Are they not guilty?" She said this, then shot a glance at Yang Yuan, who was still waiting for his meal. "What about the person who buys it?" She looked at Xiaosong. "And is it not cruel to hack at it five or six times and leave it half dead?" Jun'er chimed in too. "Listen, from the moment it gets to the market, it no longer gets to decide whether it lives or dies. Rather than let someone who can't kill a chicken butcher it badly, I can finish it off with one stroke and send it straight to the Western Paradise to chant sutras with Buddha. That's an immeasurable merit. What would you know? Keep arguing and you'll be cleaning the kitchen yourself!"

Excerpt Two:

Shi Wen saw the four handsome guys walking over and immediately pretended to fall to the ground, weeping. Their sympathy over Yang Yuan's death and their curiosity about the commotion made them come over. They saw Moyin standing tall while Shi Wen was sprawled on the ground. The four of them looked at Moyin in confusion, jumping to the conclusion that she had pushed Shi Wen down.

Shi Wen, however, said with false sincerity, "Yuan, Xuanyue, it's not Yin Yin's fault. I fell by myself. Yin Yin didn't push me."

Moyin smiled and replied, "Give me a break. Why would I push you?"

Xuanyue, speaking as her senior, said, "Moyin, why would you do something like that?"

"Wu Xuanyue, stop watching so many soap operas and go home. You can't even see through such a childish trick? Oh, right, I've recently realized I'm kind of twisted. I actually turned on my voice recorder. Listen to this." Their faces all darkened. "Everyone, soap opera plots really do come in handy~"

Excerpt Three:

"Peisi, you said that if I could make you laugh, you'd come with me to the amusement park."

"Mm."

"Then tell me, what character do you get by putting a 'mouth' on the left and 'combine' on the right?"

"Ha."

"You laughed."

"…" What kind of joke was that?
