After Gu Zhiqi finished purchasing all the books recommended by Chubby Chiu, she left the bookstore and headed to the snack street not far from the school.
There were all kinds of snacks on the street, and as Gu Zhiqi strolled along, everything she saw tempted her to buy.
So, she wandered and shopped along the way.
By the time she reached the end of the snack street, Gu Zhiqi had bought quite a few items, but she took advantage of the moments when the people around weren’t paying attention to slip them into the necklace on her wrist.
"Isn’t that Miss Gu?"
Gu Zhiqi was standing in front of a stall, waiting for her grilled gluten while playing with her phone, when suddenly a voice sounded beside her ear.
The voice was familiar, but the tone was not very friendly, so Gu Zhiqi ignored the person who spoke.
Sun Yujia saw that Gu Zhiqi was ignoring her and disdainfully rolled her eyes, "Tsk, still putting on airs when you’re no longer the Miss Gu of the Gu family?"
After Sun Jiayu uttered these words, Gu Zhiqi continued to ignore her, leaving Sun Jiayu feeling like she was punching cotton—frustrated and ineffectual.
A flash of annoyance crossed her eyes as she looked at Gu Zhiqi and said, "Hey, Gu Zhiqi, I’m talking to you?"
Gu Zhiqi continued to ignore her.
Seeing this, Sun Jiayu’s annoyance deepened as students passing by on the street stopped out of curiosity due to Sun Jiayu’s unfriendly one-sided conduct.
Sun Jiayu intended to ridicule Gu Zhiqi, but Gu Zhiqi’s lack of reaction meant the meaningful glances of the surrounding people fell on Sun Jiayu instead, making her feel uncomfortable.
Without saying anything more, she just glared at Gu Zhiqi with a look full of annoyance.
After standing there for quite a while, she suddenly let out a sneer and continued, "Coming to this kind of shabby stall to buy food, what is it? Kicked out by the Gu family and run out of money to eat in fancy restaurants?"
"Such stuff, I bet even pigs wouldn’t eat it."
Sun Jiayu crossed her arms with a look of disdain on her face.
As soon as Sun Jiayu spoke, the grilled gluten vendor was not pleased, but seeing Sun Jiayu’s bright and beautiful appearance, the vendor only dared to be angry without saying a word.
It was Gu Zhiqi, however, who lifted her gaze from her phone upon hearing Sun Yujia’s words, glanced at Sun Yujia languidly and said indolently, "I know you don’t eat it, no need to announce it to the world."
Hearing Gu Zhiqi’s reply, Sun Yujia paused for a moment, then spoke arrogantly, "Of course I don’t eat such things, not fit for pigs—I..."
As she spoke, Sun Yujia realized something was off about what she was saying.
If she didn’t eat it, didn’t that imply...
A burst of hearty laughter suddenly erupted from the crowd, and Weiran, with his golden hair, couldn’t hold back and laughed out loud.
Following that laugh, the spectators seemed to catch the contagion and started to chuckle along.
Even the grilled gluten vendor was subtly shaking his shoulders, but he didn’t dare to laugh aloud.
"Sun Yujia, if you’re not eating, please make some room. We’re not pigs; we want to eat this grilled gluten. Boss, I’ll take two skewers," said the first to laugh, Weiran, nudging Sun Yujia aside to stand next to Gu Zhiqi.
"Right! I’m human, I want to eat! Boss, give me three skewers!"
"Boss, four skewers for me!"
"I’ll have two skewers!"
Instantly, the grilled gluten stall was packed with students who didn’t want to be pigs, all asking the vendor for skewers; those who already liked the food ordered several at once, and even those who weren’t particularly fond of it bought a skewer just for the sake of it.
The main thing was, they didn’t like the superior air that Sun Yujia was giving off.
"Ay! Okay~" The boss was smiling so much his mouth couldn’t close.
