Chapter 298 You two can fight it out, I just want to eat. Jiang Yan, what was he thinking when he was peeling the egg?
He reasoned that Su An, as a commander, expended a great deal of mental energy and needed to replenish his protein intake. Eggs were the best choice.
He thought that she, a woman, must be very tired after coming back from the battlefield, and probably wouldn't even want to put in the effort to peel an egg. Peeling it for her was a thoughtful gesture.
He thought that compared to Gao Kai's crude approach of practically dumping the entire rice bowl on Su An, his own subtle concern was more sophisticated and better reflected the meticulousness and composure of a commander.
He had calculated everything.
Posture, timing, method, significance...
He even anticipated the look of surprise and emotion that Su An might show when she received the peeled egg.
But despite all his calculations, he hadn't considered that she didn't like egg yolks.
This reason is so simple, so personal, yet so impeccable.
After hearing Su An's reason for rejecting Jiang Yan, Gao Kai's frustration inexplicably dissipated by more than half.
After saying those two sentences, Su Tang reached out with his chopsticks and picked up the perfectly peeled egg, which Jiang Yan's expression froze instantly.
This action silenced the entire audience once again.
All eyes, like iron filings drawn to a magnet, instantly focused on the pair of chopsticks in her hand.
Jiang Yan's heart skipped a beat as the egg rose.
Could it be... a turning point? Was she just being polite?
Then, he saw Su An twist his wrist, and the egg that carried all his "deliberate consideration" drew a beautiful parabola in the air and landed steadily in the bowl of a girl next to him.
That girl was none other than Wang Xiaoya, whose eyes were shining and whose mouth was practically watering.
"Little girl, don't you love eggs the most? Here you go."
"Ah? Ah! Really? Thank you, Sister Su An! You're so kind!" Wang Xiaoya was stunned at first, then she was so overwhelmed by this unexpected windfall that her little face instantly blossomed into a smile.
She held her enamel bowl like a precious treasure, looking at the plump white egg inside, almost bubbling with happiness.
She picked up her chopsticks and stuffed the whole egg into her mouth without hesitation, her cheeks bulging as she chewed with a satisfied expression, looking as if she were eating some kind of delicacy.
The entire cafeteria fell into a deathly silence for three seconds.
All eyes were focused on the small dining table, on the satisfied Wang Xiaoya, and on the two "statues" on either side of her who were instantly petrified.
"puff--"
Zhuoyue, sitting diagonally across from her, could no longer hold back.
He spat out a mouthful of scalding hot brown sugar ginger soup, aiming directly at Xu Gaogui. Luckily, he reacted quickly, turning his head sharply the instant he spat it out; otherwise, Xu Gaogui would have been in trouble.
"Cough...cough cough cough...hahahaha! cough cough..." Zhuoyue coughed until his face turned red, then pounded the table and laughed wildly, tears streaming down his face.
"Old Zhuo, you..." Xu Gaogui wiped the few drops of ginger soup that had splashed on his face with lingering fear. He was about to say something to him, but when he saw the expressions on Jiang Yan and Gao Kai's faces, he couldn't help but push up his glasses, his lips curling up wildly, and his shoulders began to shake violently uncontrollably.
A brilliant laugh was like toppling the first domino.
The suppressed laughter erupted like a torrent, sweeping across the entire dining table of Camp Three.
Hahahaha!
"I can't take it anymore, I can't take it anymore! Someone help me, my back is killing me! I'm laughing so hard I can't breathe!"
