NABC Chapter 76 Eating
Chapter 76 Eating
Before actually meeting the girl, Lin Jianlu always thought that the so-called "nobody cares what you do on the internet" and "it's all just online talk, nobody actually does boxing" statements on the internet made a lot of sense.
After all, anyone who can't distinguish between the virtual and real worlds and tries to find virtual value in the real world is definitely an idiot.
But she forgot one thing: "Where do all those idiots on the internet come from?"
Right, they can't all be digital lives.
Therefore, this incident was truly an unexpected lesson for her.
"Your clothes..."
"I can't wear the coat anymore, but the inside... seems fine."
After leaving the crowd, the three found a quiet spot and began to examine Chen Chen's clothes.
Fortunately, the chubby girl didn't leave too much food, so the extra soup didn't soak through her school uniform jacket. Otherwise, if it got into the lining of her clothes, her skin would be greasy, which would be extremely unpleasant.
"Uncle, could you please take this to the dry cleaners?"
The burly man in black nodded, took Chen Chen's clothes from Cheng Xiuxiu, and turned to leave.
Lin Jianlu turned around and saw a crowd of people coming and going near the entrance, carefully avoiding the rather large puddle of food on the ground. Not far away, a cleaning lady was already walking towards it with a broom and mop.
That fat girl was in big trouble. Cheng Xiuxiu poured almost all the food she hadn't eaten over her head. If it weren't for Cheng Xiuxiu's bodyguard, the fat girl probably would have retaliated.
"Feel……"
At this moment, Cheng Xiuxiu spoke again, her voice weak, as if she were a little guilty:
"I was so wasteful. I just left a perfectly good meal to rot..."
For someone who just spoke with such an icy expression, as if they were a completely different person, to say such things, don't you find it a bit ironic?
That's true, though. The meal seemed to be the restaurant's top-of-the-line option, costing over twenty yuan a serving, and included braised pork and fish—a set meal for those looking to improve their living conditions.
However, for Cheng Xiuxiu, it's definitely just a piece of cake for her daily meals.
"right."
Lin Jianlu nodded. She often couldn't bear to eat the special set meal, but Cheng Xiuxiu had taken it and put it on that idiot's head. She felt so sorry for him.
So, can't we just use a regular meal to cover it?
"By the way, you haven't eaten yet, have you?"
Cheng Xiuxiu took out her meal card and handed it to the two of them: "Please use it as you like, and just bring me a fruit salad while you're at it."
As expected of a rich woman, she can casually display her extravagance even when it comes to something as simple as eating in the cafeteria.
But Chen Chen's focus doesn't seem to be on that.
"Your portion seems..." He took the meal card, staring blankly at the girl, "...doesn't look like you ate much. Aren't you hungry?"
The girl smiled and shook her head slightly.
"I can't eat much to begin with, and I already asked you to bring me fruit salad, didn't I?"
"All right."
Chen Chen got up to buy food, leaving Lin Jianlu and Cheng Xiuxiu behind.
Then it was Lin Jianlu's turn to be restless.
At this moment, it seems to be the first time she, as Lin Jianlu, has been alone with Cheng Xiuxiu.
"Little Deer." Cheng Xiuxiu rested her chin on her hand, staring intently at the blonde girl with her head down.
"I wanted to talk to you when school started, but I kept getting delayed until now, and only now can I finally have a chance to talk to you alone."
What is it about her that makes her so interested in her?
Feeling flattered, Lin Jianlu involuntarily looked up at the girl in front of her.
She smiled gently, her face serene, and her gaze towards her revealed a certain confidence that seemed to be in complete control, as if she had seen through everything about herself.
Did she know that she was actually Lin Baolong?
That's so lame! She always thought she was hiding it pretty well.
Cheng Xiuxiu's voice continued to flow slowly: "You know what? Actually, my deepest impression of you is this—you often secretly stare at me, and I think you stare at me more often than many boys."
Lin Jianlu instantly felt her face burning.
How embarrassing! I thought she didn't know, but it turns out that her little actions had been seen through by someone all along.
But there's nothing we can do about it! Chen Chen always sides with you!
"It really is exactly as Yanbao said..." A mischievous tone rang out, filled with a girl's teasing laughter.
"Little deer, you really are just like a little deer that panics and becomes completely lost when startled. You're so cute."
Hehehehe... I got complimented on how cute I am...
Stop, stop, stop!!!
Lin Jianlu hurriedly shook her head. What was wrong with her? Why did she get so happy just from being praised?
"No way!" Lin Jianlu looked up, flustered, and retorted, "I'm not some little deer... I'm Lin Jianlu!"
"Huh? Then can't I call you Little Deer from now on?"
It's not impossible... as long as you don't always use that name to make fun of people.
Lin Jianlu always wondered if she was too easy to understand, otherwise why would girls always want to flirt with her?
What's embarrassing is that she doesn't seem to have any countermeasures.
Cheng Xiuxiu's teasing continued: "Don't feel defeated. I think girls like you live the most carefree lives. No wonder Chen Chen always likes to be with you."
Holy crap, are you serious? Isn't Chen Chen's favorite person you? You bastard, why are you acting all innocent after getting the benefit?
Unable to bear it any longer, she raised her head and spoke:
"Isn't it you that Chen Chen likes?"
The girl, whose face was beaming with smiles, paused for a moment, then shook her head, her words leaving a lingering impression:
"That's not necessarily true..."
What the hell? Chen Chen has confessed his love to you to that extent, and you still don't think it's certain?
Whether it was a sixth sense, an excuse, or some kind of witty remark, Lin Jianlu increasingly felt that Cheng Xiuxiu was like a riddle teller.
Just then, two meals and a fruit salad were placed on the table; Chen Chen had returned.
"Time to eat, I'm starving!"
Chen Chen sat down next to Lin Jianlu, opened the package, and began to eat heartily.
Hmm, not bad, I bought the top-of-the-line package, which suits me perfectly!
Upon seeing the giant chicken leg, Lin Jianlu instantly forgot what she was going to say, and bowed her head with Chen Chen, as the wind stirred up the remaining clouds.
Only Cheng Xiuxiu took the fruit salad but didn't open it. She just silently watched the man and woman in front of her, their mouths greasy with food, a hint of helplessness showing in her dim eyes.
"Oh, right! I just remembered something." Chen Chen suddenly looked up at Cheng Xiuxiu, his face full of doubt. "Why is there no water in your swimming pool the two times I've gone?"
Cheng Xiuxiu shook her head:
"I can't swim."
"I can teach you! I'm an amazing swimmer!"
"Uh..." Cheng Xiuxiu glanced at Lin Jianlu, whose cheeks were stuffed full and who was glaring fiercely at Chen Chen without having swallowed any food, and couldn't help but smile:
"Okay, come to my house this weekend."
