Lunch was roast meat.
Lu Yibei chose a barbecue restaurant where he had to make his own sauce.
When Ji Qingqian, with the air of an ever-victorious general, picked up the spoon, glanced at it, smelled it, and then poured it into the bowl with a clatter.
Lu Yibei, the man behind her, silently took another bowl.
After returning to my seat.
Looking at the colorful "dazzling" appearance in Ji Qingqian's bowl, Xia Li couldn't help but pick up her chopsticks, giving him a "My good buddy, what are you eating?" look...
The female knight-errant was also particularly magnanimous.
He pushed the bowl away.
She showed no disdain for Xia Li whatsoever.
The two of them dipped their chopsticks in the mixture, then put it in their mouths and sipped it gently.
After tasting the summer pear.
Hesitant to speak, yet still wanting to speak.
In the end, I couldn't help but express it tactfully:
"...It tastes awful."
Frankly speaking, everyone has their own taste, and it's quite rude to comment on someone else's seasoning like that.
But Ji Qingqian did not blame this senior student.
Two reasons.
Firstly, this senior student's dark almond-shaped eyes shone with unparalleled sincerity.
Even if she speaks unpleasantly, people will still think she just doesn't know how to flatter or how to speak properly.
No one dislikes a sincere girl.
Ji Qingqian was the same.
The second reason is irrelevant.
She also thought it tasted bad.
She immediately abandoned the condiments she had prepared and took the one Lu Yibei handed her, turning away from the bad and embracing the good.
"You're bad at it but love to have fun," Lu Yibei teased.
"Um."
Ji Qingqian answered softly, her features exquisite, a doting smile playing on her lips: "Just like playing games with you~"
Lu Yibei could no longer laugh.
This is a classic case of "lifting a stone to smash one's own egg" (meaning doing something futile).
"This store isn't cheap..."
Lu Yibei quickly changed the subject, joking with Li Si who was looking at his phone: "Does the president embezzle if he uses student council funds to treat people?"
Li Si put down his phone and smiled:
"Calculate."
Lu Yibei never expected that he could admit it so openly.
"But don't worry."
Li Si added, "No funds were used; I paid with my own money."
Lu Yibei cupped his fists and said, "President, you are very generous."
Ji Qingqian was about to brush on the oil when Xia Li, with her experience, stopped her: "Grill the pork belly first, that way the oil that comes out will be just right..."
Then, Xia Li, who felt uncomfortable if she didn't make a few sarcastic remarks about the student council president, said:
"He has a scholarship, a huge sum, and he spends all his time enjoying himself—"
Lu Yibei asked:
"Aren't you going to help him spend some money?"
“I would like to—” Xia Li said.
"Then you should ask the president to treat you to more meals," Lu Yibei said.
As Xia Li watched the pork belly turn golden brown, she flipped it over: "He's shrewd, he wouldn't allow it."
“Why don’t you bother him more? Keep chasing him around and making him pay for your meals. Can he refuse every time?” Lu Yibei said.
"No way, it makes me look so shabby..." Xia Li said.
Lu Yibei gave Li Si a look.
There's nothing I can do now, it's up to you from here on out.
“You’ve certainly worked hard lately. Once everything is settled, I’ll treat you to dinner,” Li Si said.
"See?"
Xia Li placed the first slightly burnt piece of pork belly on Ji Qingqian's plate.
Ji Qingqian was taken aback, and softly said thank you. Then she heard the senior student continue to accuse Li Si: "'Inviting us to dinner'—it was the student council that was invited, and it was paid with the allocated funds."
“I’m talking to you and Fu Chi.”
Li Si pushed up his glasses and said, "I'll reward you two for your hard work later."
"Really?" Xia Lile asked.
Li Si nodded.
"Very good!"
Xia Li: "I finally managed to trick that old fox into giving me a meal... Come on, Junior Sister Ji, eat more. Brother Bei, I'm indebted to you, so I'll take on the task of feeding your girlfriend!"
Lu Yibei: "...Fu Chi?"
Why is there a third person?
"Vice President".
Li Si said, "Even if there is no merit, there is still hard work."
Lu Yibei: "Oh."
"On the other hand..."
Li Si changed the subject: "Has he really put in the effort? I asked him to check with Jiang Zile to confirm the program's progress, and it's still not done. He was just complaining to me that he can't even write a slogan for the 'Three-Line Love Letter' competition..."
Lu Yibei understood: "Oh~~"
It seems that Chairman Fu is in a bit of trouble.
Ultimately, deciding who to invite is simply a matter of the president's word.
"...This part should be done by now, right?" Ji Qingqian asked Xia Li.
Although she had eaten beef and mutton since she was a child, she was, after all, a young lady from a wealthy family. She didn't know how to start a fire, nor could she tell whether something was cooked or not.
"Hmm, let me see..."
Xia Li checked: "Hmm, it's okay."
Ji Qingqian happily placed the beef tenderloin into Lu Yibei's bowl: "Try my cooking."
Xia Li: ...
However, she felt that her sincerity had been misplaced.
I grill meat to feed you, but you feed him instead?
Xia Li snatched the piece of pork belly from Li Si's hand as he was about to eat it.
"Where did this barbecue person come from? Such great skills!" Lu Yibei laughed.
“I think it’s good too.” Ji Qingqian nodded quietly.
Li Si: ...
Not only did he not get to eat meat, but he was also subjected to being flashed in the light. In the end, he silently endured everything.
Then, Lu Yibei continued chatting with Li Si:
"Was the scholarship the president received from the provincial government?"
“It’s from the country,” Li Si said.
“Wow, that’s impressive, senior. I got the school’s prize.” Lu Yibei said.
What's your GPA?
3.9.
"Participate in more competitions."
