Chapter 219: Chapter 219: Eat Mine Chapter 219: Chapter 219: Eat Mine “Okay.” Mengmeng agreed.
After the two exams in the morning, Luo Mengmeng obediently waited in the classroom for Gu Zhihan.
When Gu Zhihan arrived at the classroom with his stationery, he saw she was still there, which made him smile. He walked over, put down his pen case, and tugged at her school uniform sleeve, “Let’s go, to the cafeteria.”
Mengmeng, who had been hungry and bright-eyed, now wished she could sprout wings and fly there at the mention of food.
“Hey! Mengmeng, come over here! We’ve already got your food!”
Tong Mo, who had run to the cafeteria early, immediately waved at Luo Mengmeng and Gu Zhihan.
“Tong Mo, you truly are a dear bestie!”
Mengmeng pulled Gu Zhihan to sit down.
Tong Mo shook her head while eating, “Don’t thank me, this was all bought with Jiang Yibai’s meal card.”
“Then thank you, Jiang…” Luo Mengmeng was about to thank Jiang Yibai when Gu Zhihan chimed in.
“I’ll pay for the meal.” Gu Zhihan estimated the cost of the meals on his and Luo Mengmeng’s trays, then pulled out a green banknote from his school uniform pocket and pushed it across to Jiang Yibai, who was sitting opposite him.
Jiang Yibai kindly declined, “No need, we’re all classmates, it’s okay to treat each other once in a while.”
“No, we can afford our own meals.”
Gu Zhihan insisted on paying.
But Jiang Yibai insisted on not accepting, “Really, it’s okay.”
The two boys pushed the banknote back and forth, acting as childish as kindergarten kids.
Lu Zichen and Tong Mo were both dumbfounded.
Were these two really taking things this seriously?
The atmosphere finally began to slowly freeze, even Luo Mengmeng, who was typically thick-skinned, felt it.
“Um…” She raised her head from her tray, looked at Jiang Yibai, then at Gu Zhihan, and timidly said, “If you guys keep pushing the money back and forth and don’t eat, I might just help myself to your meals.”
Actually, Luo Mengmeng was just saying it off the cuff, but the two took her seriously.
“They are all yours.”
Suddenly, two hands pushed their trays toward Luo Mengmeng, saying in unison.
Needless to say, these two hands belonged to Gu Zhihan and Jiang Yibai.
Seeing Jiang Yibai also pushing his food to Luo Mengmeng, Gu Zhihan’s eyebrows instantly furrowed.
That familiar feeling of annoyance was surfacing again in his heart.
Jiang Yibai returned a gentle yet provocatively tinged smile.
Gu Zhihan wanted to ignore it, but his fingers clenched a bit tighter.
“Aren’t any of you going to eat?”
Luo Mengmeng was speechless for a moment, about to say something, when unexpectedly, Lu Zichen chimed in.
“Mengmeng, you can have mine too. I haven’t even touched my chopsticks yet.”
It had gone from choosing between two to choosing between three.
The three boys were all looking at her with gleaming eyes.
Her skin crawled under their gaze.
Why did she feel like choosing whose food to eat meant choosing whose person she would be afterward?
Seeing her hesitate, Gu Zhihan kicked her lightly under the table but maintained a casual facade, “Eat mine, it has your favorite sweet and sour fish.”
Jiang Yibai: “Luo Mengmeng, you should eat mine. I have your favorite sweet and sour chicken cubes.”
Lu Zichen: “Don’t eat theirs, mine has your favorite sweet and sour ribs.”
The three boys didn’t know what got into them, eagerly pitching their meals to Luo Mengmeng.
