Finally, the sound of the dismissal whistle echoed.
The orderly ranks instantly scattered, with everyone supporting each other as they rushed toward the cafeteria.
Sheng Ning’an turned to Tian Yu and said, "I won’t be eating with you guys today."
The four roommates had been eating together for the past few days. Although she didn’t like Shi Yue, the latter had been quite quiet these days, not trying to draw attention to herself or doing anything to make Sheng Ning’an dislike her, so Sheng Ning’an didn’t deliberately keep her distance anymore. The two of them treated each other with cool indifference.
"Understood." Tian Yu smiled ambiguously and looked toward Xu Weiran with a gossipy gaze. Sheng Ning’an knew she was misunderstood but didn’t bother to explain right then and there.
Because she was too tired and didn’t have the energy.
Sheng Ning’an then walked toward Xu Weiran, who unscrewed the cap off a bottle of water and handed it to her.
After taking a sip, Sheng Ning’an looked at him and said, "Let’s go!"
The cafeteria was full of people queuing up to get their meals, and Sheng Ning’an frowned at the long line.
Xu Weiran glanced at her and said, "You find a place to sit first. I’ll get the food for you. What would you like to eat?"
Sheng Ning’an looked at the queue and, without being polite, handed her meal card to him and told him two dishes she wanted before going to find a seat.
After a while, she saw Xu Weiran coming over with two portions of food.
Sheng Ning’an looked at her meal, brimming with vegetables, and was momentarily stunned, saying, "I don’t remember ordering these?"
Xu Weiran: "Military training burns a lot of energy, you must eat more to replenish it, and I remember these are the ones you like."
And to think that after eating together just twice, he had already remembered her preferences.
Xu Weiran then took out a yogurt from his pocket, inserted a straw, and handed it to her, saying, "A cup of yogurt after a meal helps digestion!"
Sheng Ning’an thanked him and thought that he was surprisingly considerate.
The two of them finished their meals together, and after leaving the cafeteria, Xu Weiran left.
No sooner had he left than someone wrapped their arm around Sheng Ning’an’s from behind.
Tian Yu’s voice popped up from the side, "Quick, tell us who was that handsome guy just now?" Beside her stood Xue Xian and Shi Yue as well.
One of them was full of curiosity, while the other stared in the direction Xu Weiran had left, seemingly deep in thought.
Sheng Ning’an: "Just a friend."
"What kind of friend?" Tian Yu asked eagerly.
Sheng Ning’an looked at them helplessly: "I know what you guys want to ask. It’s not like that, we’re just ordinary, normal friends."
Tian Yu seemed somewhat disappointed—as the combination of a handsome man and a beautiful woman was quite an eye-pleaser. She had thought they were a couple, but it turned out they weren’t.
"Then out of all the guys who’ve tried to add you recently, is there anyone you like?"
"No!" She spent every day getting roasted by the sun, scarcely able to wait for the training to end, much less think about anything else.
Tian Yu didn’t seem surprised by her response: "That makes sense, after seeing that handsome guy just now, I don’t think the others are a match for you. You would need someone whose looks don’t lose out to his."
Sheng Ning’an imagined Xu Weiran’s face, which indeed had a strong attraction for girls.
Finding someone whose looks didn’t lose out to his would probably not be easy.
"By the way, that handsome guy just now, does he have a girlfriend?" Tian Yu immediately followed up with another question.
That, she really didn’t know. After all, he had been abroad for so long—who knew if he had a girlfriend overseas?
