Xu Rubao really didn't expect that Xu Ziqing would come to the cafeteria. Didn't she dislike the food in the school cafeteria?

She gasped. "If you really want this cheap stuff, fine. I'll take a shower tonight, change out of my clothes, and give it to you. Take it. Don't keep bothering me like a ghost."

"Who would want your cheap clothes? I wouldn't even want clothes you've worn before. I wouldn't want them even if they were given to me for free."

"Then what are you trying to do here? Lu Mingyu doesn't seem to eat in this cafeteria, so there's no point in you coming. You might as well go and keep watch in the computer science department."

Xu Rubao kindly reminded her that she always had a bad feeling whenever she saw her.

Xu Ziqing rolled her eyes at her. "Can't I eat in the cafeteria? Aren't I a student at Ocean University? Besides, Grandpa is using all the money to buy new medicinal herbs. I... I'm only eating here to save some money."

After saying that, Xu Ziqing ate a piece of pork rib as if she had swallowed poison.

Looking at her expression, Xu Rubao couldn't help but want to laugh. In the Xu family, she had always been pampered by her grandmother.

She hadn't experienced much hardship, so it was normal that she couldn't get used to the communal food in the school cafeteria.

“Xu Rubao, let me tell you, the family is in financial difficulty right now. You need to be careful with your money. The Xu family doesn’t have any extra money for you. Don’t eat the Xu family’s rice for free and then drag them down.”

"I've been spending my scholarship money..."

"..."

Hearing her words, Xu Ziqing couldn't help but silently curse her in her heart. Ugly people are like this, thinking they are talented, but they are just good at studying. They can't do anything else.

"By the way, you didn't go back to the Xu family this weekend, where did you go?"

Xu Rubao suddenly felt a little uncomfortable with her 'concern'. "What does it have to do with you where I go? You don't usually welcome me back."

"Who cares about you? Don't flatter yourself. They're just worried you'll ruin the Xu family's reputation."

When Xu Rubao heard her say that, he thought of that night at Qiwu Mountain.

Looking at the two pieces of pork ribs left, she had no appetite for food. "Don't worry, what I do has nothing to do with you. Besides, didn't you say yourself that you shouldn't mention knowing me at school and that I should stay away from you in the future, otherwise it would lower your noble status as a young lady?"

Xu Ziqing knew she was angry, and considering that she was also involved in this matter, she didn't dare to say anything more.

Well, whether Xu Rubao lives or dies outside is none of her business.

After lunch, Xu Rubao returned to her dormitory and immediately changed out of the clothes that Xu Ziqing had been longing to wear.

She washed it again, intending to return it later.

She didn't want to cause any more trouble, nor did she want Xu Ziqing to know that she was working as a maid for Lu Jingheng.

Anyway, a year is enough to keep it a secret. I don't want Grandpa to worry if he finds out.

Time passed little by little, and every day at school felt fulfilling.

During that week, she almost forgot about Lu Jingheng's existence.

On Friday, Uncle Fu called again to ask what she wanted to eat this weekend, and only then did she remember that she was going to Lu Jingheng's villa again.

She realized that she hadn't contacted Lu Jingheng for several days. She took out her phone, hesitated for a moment, and wondered whether she should send a message to Lu Jingheng to ask.

At the very least, she wanted to know if he was coming home for dinner. If he wasn't coming home, she planned to go to the library after school to borrow a couple of books so she wouldn't have to go back so early.
