CH 109

Lu Wan got up at 5:30 every day to recite vocabulary.

Noon.

Haley routinely asked, “What are we going to eat today?”

“Then count me in too!”

“I’ll join you!”

Other students on the side echoed. Anyway, there’re already light bulbs. Why not add a few more so that the light can be brighter?!

This was an opportunity to eat with President Lu and Chen Nianqing.

How could they miss this?! They could still brag about it after graduation. They must go!

———

Chen Nianqing looked at Lu Wan with a half-smile on his face, and at the seven to eight people following behind.

“You invited all these schoolmates?”

Lu Wan: “Not really. We just happened to meet, so we came here together. It’s more enjoyable to eat with many people anyway.”

Chen Nianqing: “I guess it’s all right to have more people.”

The three nearby tables were quickly filled.

Chen Nianqing opened the paper bag he was carrying.

“I brought you snack. I tasted it and thought it was good, so I took some for you to try.”

Lu Wan: “Snack? Is it sweet?”

Chen Nianqing nodded. “But I only brought yours, so I’m sorry, I can’t give some to other students.”

Haley: “It’s fine.”

“Forget it, I don’t like sweets.” Xu Yao curled his lips. This guy was just being courteous for nothing! Shameless!

The soft cake made of black rice was soft and chewy.

There were small shops selling this in the market, but this one was especially made by Chen Nianqing’s grandmother[1].

The best raw materials were selected, and sweet-scented osmanthus was added in, which gave a rich aroma.

Lu Wan took a bite and flavor filled her mouth. She doesn’t have a sweet tooth, but this pastry was easy to eat.

“It’s delicious!”

Chen Nianqing: “Then I’ll bring some again for you next time.”

Dating in high school where just bringing some snacks and doing homework together, but it was quite interesting.

“Where did you buy it?” Lu Wan wanted to buy some back for her parents to taste.

“It’s not bought. It was made by my family. If you like, I can learn how to make it, so that you can eat it often.” Chen Nianqing said with a smile.

The students on the side: “……”

What the hell was this? Why did they want to come?

They haven’t eaten yet but were already full from dog food.

Lu Wan: “Forget it. It’s too much trouble.”

“No trouble. Since this is something you like, I want to learn how to make it.” Chen Nianqing took out a tissue and handed it over to Lu Wan.

After a slight pause, he looked around and said with a warning, “This is what I should do.”

The students on the side: “……”

We should have been under the car and not inside, seeing how sweet you two are[2].

Was this an oath of sovereignty? Damn, that look in his eyes……

During the rest of the meal, only Lu Wan and Chen Nianqing chatted occasionally, and the others were silent.

Being a quiet tool person as they eat.

Oh, except for the occasional less-than-timely speech by Xu Yao which had no combat power.

He could only shout ‘awesome’ and jumped up high enough whenever Lu Wan said something.

You won’t bring us food, but ask Lu Wan ‘what do you want to eat?’. We want to try it too, don’t eat alone ah.

The students watching on the side felt like they had indigestion.

Being a light bulb once was enough. Next time they wouldn’t join in on the ‘fun’.

Haley looked up. “Isn’t that Li Che? Why is he being surrounded by a group of girls again?”

This fellow was usually quiet and doesn’t talk much. He looked like a good student.

But…… something feels odd.

Lu Wan followed Haley’s line of sight and saw that the girls had already turned and left.

Li Che sat alone and continued to eat.

———

Even though Li Che had denied the matter and even had Lu Wan as his witness, Lin Chun was still skeptical,

She’d clearly seen him. If the person she met in the bar wasn’t Li Che, then who could it be?

In order to find out about this, she went back to the bar last night.

She asked around and all the people said that it wasn’t Li Che. The bartender she saw was just a normal college student.

Lu Lin had already given prior notice, so Lin Chun naturally got nothing.

“It seems that everything’s fine.” Lu Wan said.

Sometimes you want to be low key and live quietly, but things still finds you.

Chen Nianqing swept his eyes over and immediately withdrew them. “Don’t worry about other people’s affairs. Finish your meal.”

“Oh.” After eating the last bite of her food, Lu Wan put down her chopsticks, thought for a while and asked, “This weekend, there’s an exhibition at the museum. Do you want to go?”

Chen Nianqing smiled and asked, “Are you inviting me?”
