"You’re right!" Sheng Ning’an nodded with a smile. Chapters first released on novel[f]ire.net
When we are both good enough, we’ll meet the best versions of each other.
Xu Weiran looked at her smiling face and couldn’t help but raise his hand to pat her head.
The world is big enough that meeting you is the greatest fortune.
Unbeknownst to them, this little head pat moment sweetened everyone’s day.
"Ah, these two are like a real-life romance drama!"
"I admit, that head pat totally got me."
"Today’s me is just a sour lemon."
Monday is the busiest day, with four classes in the morning and four in the afternoon, meaning they have to stay at school all day.
And all the morning classes are public lectures, which tend to be quite boring.
At noon, Xu Weiran accompanied her to the school cafeteria.
"Isn’t it boring?" Sheng Ning’an asked.
"Not at all!" Xu Weiran said, "Your professor’s lectures were okay; a lot of the points were quite novel."
"You actually listened?" Sheng Ning’an looked at him in surprise.
Is this the difference between an academic genius and an average person?
Honestly, she often zones out during public lectures, yet he was serious even while accompanying her.
Sheng Ning’an didn’t know what to say, so she simply changed the topic: "What do you want to eat? My treat."
"Sure!" Xu Weiran smiled indulgently.
The cafeteria auntie saw Xu Weiran for the first time, and her eyes lit up. Since when did their school have such a handsome guy? As she served the food, her hand didn’t even tremble, and after serving, she kindly asked, "Is that enough, would you like another spoonful?"
"Thank you, aunty, that’s enough!" Xu Weiran politely thanked her.
The people nearby were so envious that their teeth ached, and someone immediately shouted:
"Aunty, that’s not enough, could you give me another spoonful?"
"Yeah, aunty, you’re biased. Why does he get so much meat and we get so little?"
"Is having a good face necessary even for food now?"
"No way, I have to ask my parents for more allowance, since they made me so ugly that the auntie got scared and her hand shook."
"Get going, you bunch of troublesome kids, no amount is ever enough for you." The cafeteria auntie chased them away with her ladle.
Xu Weiran carried his tray and looked at Sheng Ning’an: "Your cafeteria aunties are pretty nice."
Sheng Ning’an glanced at his tray and nodded: "Indeed, there’s a kind of love called the auntie’s bias in serving you." The amount of food in his bowl was almost double that of anyone else’s.
Others didn’t receive such special treatment.
Xu Weiran curved his lips, his eyes showing a doting smile: "Don’t be jealous, you have people who care for you too. What do you like to eat? I’ll share mine with you."
Sheng Ning’an rolled her eyes at him: "Who said I was jealous?" Calling him fat made him proud.
But with his looks, he was indeed beloved by everyone, from eight to eighty years old.
"What are you thinking about?" Xu Weiran asked as he saw her staring at his face, deep in thought.
"Nothing much." Sheng Ning’an retracted her gaze, "I was just wondering if you’re this popular at your own school cafeteria too?"
Xu Weiran thought for a moment: "Not bad, I usually go to the cafeteria quite late, and the aunties there would often give me a bit more food." But he was often preoccupied with experiments and didn’t pay much attention.
