Chapter 108 Don’t act like a spoiled child, you’ll know next time
Fu Liangxia took a sip of the soup under Su Xingshu's expectant gaze. Frankly speaking, it wasn't bad at all. After all, with Young Master Su's financial resources, he wouldn't have trouble finding a decent chef.
However, her childhood in her previous life was financially difficult. When times were tough, she'd eat the cheapest sweet potatoes for every meal. Sweet potatoes were her staple food, and the vines were cooked into a soup with a few grains of rice. The bittersweet flavor was at least 50% similar to ginseng.
The familiar taste brought back familiar, terrible memories. Poverty.
After a few bites, she frowned and her stomach began to twitch psychologically.
If she also had a concrete mood index, it would have fallen to a negative number by now.
Fu Liangxia suddenly lost the mood to cope with it.
Very annoying.
Whether it's eating food you don't like or getting an imaginary hidden reward to keep yourself alive, you are forced to hide your feelings.
Even though she had escaped her previous life of poverty, that experience still followed her like a broken piece.
It's all very annoying.
She suddenly wanted to be willful for once.
Anyway, Su Xingshu's favorability has already passed the test, so what's the point of not trying to please him?
Fu Liangxia put down the spoon: "I'm done eating."
The most you'll lose is some favorability. Even if it drops below the passing line, you can find a way to get it back later.
Thinking of this, she naturally began to browse the cafeteria delivery page on her phone.
This is what she loves most about Saint Lander's cafeteria. Not only is the food as delicious as that of a three-star restaurant, but the service is also excellent. Smart robots deliver meals during school hours, so she can enjoy her meals without leaving home.
But ordering food in person was a bit of an embarrassment to Su Xingshu. The other party's original intention was for her health, but he didn't expect that she couldn't get used to the taste of ginseng.
If Fu Liangxia had skipped this meal on a regular basis, it wouldn't have been a problem. However, she had an elective equestrian class this afternoon, and she needed plenty of energy.
So she planned to order takeout to the common room.
Su Xingshu would not go there, so as to avoid the embarrassing situation of him seeing her eating with him and then having to cook for herself.
Perhaps he had thought of a solution, and Fu Liangxia was no longer so depressed.
Fu Liangxia raised her head and found Su Xingshu bending over to tidy up the various bowls of soup on the table.
His hand, gripping the carved white porcelain soup dish, was surprisingly even whiter than the dish itself. Veins bulged as he applied a little pressure, his fingers slender and delicate. His movements were surprisingly deft, not at all like those of a lazy, uneducated young master.
But, what is he doing?
Has he finished eating too?
As if receiving Fu Liangxia's surprised gaze, Su Xingshu raised his head and was stunned for a moment when his gaze accidentally met hers. Then he curled the corners of his lips, put the plate in his hand on the dining cart, and pushed open the second layer.
There are a wide variety of delicacies.
They are all her favorite dishes.
Su Xingshu: "I guessed you might not like ginseng, so I prepared a plan B in advance."
"After all, the ginseng I gave to someone last time appeared on the auction website not long after."
Fu Liangxia couldn't tell whether she was touched or felt a lingering sense of guilt. She whispered, "I just don't like it a bit..."
He stared at her for a few seconds without blinking, his throat rolling, and suddenly raised his hand and put it down, clenching his fingers: "I'll know next time."
"Don't act like a spoiled brat."
Fu Liangxia: “?”
How could she have that?
She didn't know what misunderstanding Su Xingshu had about being a spoiled child, but it didn't matter. After satisfying her stomach, she was more curious about what he had said before about "brushing up scores."
Please understand that for a GPA-conscious person who values efficiency, nothing is more attractive than good grades.
What's more, you can get practical credits more easily and in less time.
"Thank you for the treat. Can I speak now?" she asked, wiping the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief.
Su Xingshu turned around and pulled out a thin notebook from a bookcase at the side, handing it over. "This is the performance I'm going to perform for our college festival. One of the characters was originally unable to appear due to some circumstances, so there aren't many scenes left. If you're interested, would you like to try it out?"
Starring?
It doesn't sound like an easy task.
Fu Liangxia's originally ignited interest was immediately dampened. She took the script and briefly flipped through it.
It was an ensemble opera adapted from Sleeping Beauty. As if to accommodate more performers, the script had added many roles to the original one. However, she couldn't tell which role had fewer lines and was easy to play.
Fu Liangxia raised her eyes, lacking interest: "So the role with the fewest scenes and the easiest role is... a dwarf?"
Su Xingshu said seriously: "No, you play the spinning needle that makes the princess fall asleep."
“…”
She stared at him expressionlessly for a long time, and clearly caught a glimpse of a suppressed smile on his face.
Fu Liangxia snorted and laughed: "Then I'll stab you first."
Su Xingshu curled his lips and said, "What a cruel spinning needle, but I can play the role of a sleeping princess."
Fu Liangxia: “…”
A shameless person is invincible, but she was defeated.
"I have to go now. I have an equestrian class this afternoon, so I need to go back to the lounge for a nap." She stood up and chose to end this nonsensical conversation.
"Okay," Su Xingshu stood up and looked at her expression, as if to judge whether she was really angry. "Actually, the role you need to play is not a spinning needle, nor a dwarf, but a princess."
"She slept through most of the show and had very few lines. She was definitely the most relaxed character in the show."
Fu Liangxia glanced at her sideways when he heard this: "Prince, are you?"
He said naturally: "Of course, it's a bargain for you."
——In the script, the princess was awakened by the prince’s kiss.
Fu Liangxia declined the offer: "Many people would want to take advantage of this, so I just..."
Su Xingshu: "But I only like you."
?
Say this suddenly?
She stood there in shock for a moment, and saw that Su Xingshu's expression was as natural as if he was asking "what to eat today".
Use a basic attack to start with a big move.
Is this the value of "The Romantic Wanderer"?
It really made her not know how to react for a moment.
Fu Liangxia stared at him while brainstorming how to effectively fight back.
The person who had said this calmly at first slowly turned pale under her unconcealed gaze.
You're the one who got shy first?
Fu Liangxia seemed to have discovered something interesting. The corners of her lips slowly rose. When she was about to say something else, Su Xingshu suddenly covered her eyes with his hands, blocking her view. "Aren't we going back to the lounge? Let's go."
As he said that, he half-hugged her with the hand that was not covering her eyes and led her out of the exclusive lounge.
"Bang--"
The light returned to my eyes and I could hear the sound of a door closing quickly behind me.
Fu Liangxia: “…”
Tsk, I can’t afford to play with it.
*
afternoon.
St. Lander has a horse farm of nearly one million acres on the east side of the school. It is a vast expanse of green, yellow grass and white clouds. It is a perfect time for horse racing.
The professional equestrian teacher is leading the teaching assistants to maintain order among the horses, waiting for the students to take them away.
Equestrianism has always been one of the top three elective courses at Saint Lander. In order to provide a good learning environment for these wealthy children, the school has a money-driven atmosphere in everything from the maintenance of the stables to the horses to the teachers.
Such a large number of students enrolled in the course also means that there are many acquaintances.
Several students in the class who didn't like sports but didn't want to give up this social activity were sitting in the lounge area drinking tea. When Fu Liangxia and Xu Cai came out after changing their clothes, they saw that many people had already started riding horses around the field to warm up.
Fu Liangxia observed for a few seconds: "Do they all have their own horses raised here?"
Xu Cai nodded as a matter of course. "Basically, except for the specially enrolled students, we all have our families keep their regular horses at the school's stables. It's easier to get used to our own horses. But very few specially enrolled students choose this course. You know, the price is still too high for them...so not many people use the stables' horses."
Fu Liangxia agreed in her heart. She indeed did not see Bai Kewei.
Xu Cai suddenly thought of something: "You just came home this semester, so you might not be prepared. Don't worry, most of the horses at the ranch are docile and good breeds, so there shouldn't be any problems."
Fu Liangxia just smiled at this. Her family was not as wealthy as most of the students at Saint Lander. For her father, who had made his own money, even though the price of a horse was not a big deal, buying a horse just for three years of school was obviously not a worthwhile expense.
She also agreed with this idea, but why did Xu Cai's words sound so much like a flag...
While Fu Liangxia and Xu Cai were watching the young men racing in the field, several girls drinking tea in the rest area were also talking about her.
Looking at the girl standing by the sidelines, who was still as beautiful as a lily even in her plain riding clothes, Qin Mo couldn't help but sigh: "With someone like this, there's no chance of winning Queen this year."
A companion said, "You still have such extravagant hopes? I thought you should have given up such unrealistic ideas long ago when F4 started having affairs with her."
Qin Mo: "But those were my thoughts before I met him in person."
After meeting Master Fu Liangxia, she could say that she had no extra thoughts at all. There were only four big words in her mind -
My sister is so beautiful.
Qin Mo held his chin in his hand and stared blankly at the girl who took a tall white horse from the coach's hand, muttering: "I want to be that horse..."
companion:"??"
Fu Liangxia didn't have much experience in horse riding, but in his previous life he had learned a lot from a teacher in order to do business, so his skills were pretty good. He just didn't know if he could adapt well to it with his current body.
Just as she was trying to get closer to the horse in her hand and lowered her eyes in thought, a gunshot suddenly rang out in the distance, and several horses were released from their bows, galloping wildly on the track.
Is this comparable?
It's the age when you are competitive.
At this moment, Xu Cai, who was watching the fun nearby, suddenly nudged her with her elbow and said with a wink, "They're competing. Who do you hope will win?"
Fu Liangxia squinted his eyes and tried to identify for a long time, but he really couldn't tell who was who in the dark crowd.
She turned to look at Xu Cai and asked, "Who are they?"
Xu Cai: “…”
