"Your food."

Qian Manduo handed the rice bowls to Ruan Yingzi and Ye Qingqing respectively. She also had her own rice in her hand, which was the same as before: three steamed buns and a vegetable dish.

Ye Qingqing and her friends, on the other hand, had two meat dishes and one vegetable dish, making for a very lavish meal.

"Thank you." Ruan Yingzi took the food and card. She placed the food in front of her, but casually tossed the card aside and ignored it.

Qian Manduo kindly reminded him, "You should put the card in the drawer; it's easy to lose it if you leave it outside."

"It's okay, it's in the dorm, how could it get stolen?"

Despite saying that, Ruan Yingzi still casually opened the drawer and stuffed the card in. The stack of money from before was also on the side of the drawer, visible as soon as it was opened.

Qian Manduo was shocked. So much money! Even if she were sold, she probably wouldn't have that much money.

"Why did you put so much money in the drawer? What if it gets lost... It's safer to deposit it in the bank." Qian Manduo was almost frantic. All the money she had on her didn't even amount to a hundred yuan, but she was still being extra careful, and she didn't feel at ease no matter where she put the money.

Seeing how casually Ruan Yingzi treats money, Qian Manduo is both anxious and envious.

When will she be able to spend money as freely as Ruan Yingzi and Ye Qingqing, without worrying about losing it because she didn't keep it safe? After all, it wouldn't matter if she lost it, since there's definitely more money at home!

Sigh, I wonder if she'll ever have the chance to live like that again in her life?

Seeing Qian Manduo's anxious look, Ruan Yingzi couldn't help but laugh and said with a smile, "It's okay, I'll deposit it later. Why don't you join us for dinner? Let me try your shredded potatoes!"

As she spoke, she reached for the shredded potatoes in Qian Manduo's bowl with her chopsticks, taking only one strand. She then brought over her own bowl, saying, "It's only fair to return the favor, so you should eat my food too. You'd better eat the fatty meat slices for me, otherwise I'll have to throw them away later."

Ruan Yingzi asked Qian Manduo to get her a plate of braised pork and a plate of garlic sprouts with cured pork. They both looked pretty good. Ye Qingqing's dishes were similar, but hers was shredded pork with garlic sauce. When the rice bowl was piled high, it was overflowing.

"Have some with me too!"

Ye Qingqing smiled and handed over her rice bowl, asking Qian Manduo to help her eat. Qian Manduo knew very well that Ye Qingqing and the others didn't actually want to avoid going to the cafeteria; they were just trying to help her in various ways!

Otherwise, with those two having such small appetites, they wouldn't need to buy so many groceries.

"Okay, I love fatty meat the most. Everything you don't like is what I love to eat."

Qian Manduo sat down generously and picked out all the fatty meat from Ye Qingqing and Ruan Yingzi's bowls. Basically, the braised pork was mostly fat with little lean meat.

"You can pick out all the braised pork. Seeing how much you enjoy the meat makes me feel better too." Ye Qingqing helped by putting the braised pork into Qian Manduo's rice bowl.

Before long, Ye Qingqing and Ruan Yingzi's rice bowls were mostly empty, while Qian Manyuo's rice bowl was piled up like a small mountain, full of oily braised pork.

Qian Manduo ate heartily, enjoying his meal immensely, especially the large slices of fatty meat, which he ate without even flinching.

Lu Ziqun and Song Hongye couldn't help but swallow, and Dong Siyue was also starving and couldn't help but swallow as well.

"I can't take it anymore, it's making my mouth water! Time to eat!"

Song Hongye picked up her rice bowl to get her food, and Lü Ziqun wasn't going to be left behind. "I'm going to eat too. My mouth is watering. If I ever have a bad appetite, I'll eat with Qian Manduo. It'll definitely help."

"Wait for me, I'm going to eat too." Dong Siyue, who was so hungry, actually grabbed her rice bowl and followed.
