Faced with the choice between delicious food and saving face, Chu Lian'er didn't hesitate much and chose the former.
What is "face"? Can you eat it?
A blush crossed her face as she carefully took the chicken leg from Lin Jie.
But the next second Lin Jie pulled it back.
Chu Lian'er was stunned, then felt a surge of shame and indignation: "How...how could you do this?"
If you don't want to give it to her, just say so! Why tease her?
Lin Jie gave her a strange look and handed her a disposable glove: "You're just going to eat like this?"
Chu Lian'er stared blankly at the gloves in his hand.
Huh? Did I misunderstand him?
A wave of guilt washed over me.
"No, I'm sorry!"
She awkwardly took the gloves, grabbed the chicken leg, and stuffed it into her mouth, completely avoiding looking at Lin Jie's ambiguous smile.
She felt like she was being laughed at!
Ahhh!
How dare you laugh at me! I'll eat you out of house and home!
Awoo!
Lin Jie watched with some interest as she transformed her shame and anger into appetite.
Watching her eat is quite adorable; just looking at her makes you feel full.
After Chu Lian'er calmed down a bit, she realized that she had already eaten half a chicken.
For a moment, she dared not move.
"Why aren't you eating?"
Chu Lian'er lowered her head slightly and asked weakly, "Did I eat too much?"
She didn't do it on purpose! She was genuinely hungry!
Lin Jie said nonchalantly, "It's not that bad. If you're not full, I have two more here."
Chu Lian'er glanced at the fried chicken that had already been packed up and suddenly felt an urge to snatch it away for dinner.
Lin Jie keenly noticed it.
He wondered to himself, how poor must this girl's family be? Could they not even have enough to eat?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at her figure.
He is indeed a bit thin, and he is really worried about what will happen if his future children don't have enough milk.
"W-What are you looking at?!"
Chu Lian'er's slightly shy voice rang out. She used fried chicken to cover her bear and looked at him warily.
Lin Jie snapped out of his daze, feeling somewhat embarrassed. Damn it, why was he interested in an airport with flat chests?
He cleared his throat and deliberately changed the subject, saying, "Nothing, I was just curious about your necklace, it's quite pretty."
Chu Lian'er was slightly taken aback, and her gaze involuntarily fell on the pendant around her neck.
It was a deep green gemstone, small in size and unremarkable, but it was quite stunning when viewed up close.
“This was left to me by my grandmother. She passed away a long time ago.”
Chu Lian'er spoke slowly, a hint of disappointment appearing in her eyes.
Lin Jie was stunned, then apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring it up."
Chu Lian'er shook her head: "It's not your fault."
Lin Jie felt like slapping himself in the face.
Damn it, why did you have to bring this up out of the blue?
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Jie stood up and said, "You finish it. I'll leave this for you too. You should eat a proper lunch."
Lin Jie left one fried chicken for her and took the other one with him.
Chu Lian'er watched his figure, a complex expression flashing in her eyes.
"Hey! Lian'er, he just left like that?"
A colleague then came over and asked gossipily.
Chu Lian'er asked in confusion, "Then what else?"
"Oh my, I thought he would wait for you to leave work together."
Chu Lian'er blushed upon hearing this and retorted, "How could that be? He's nobody to me!"
My colleague raised an eyebrow and smiled: "Really? Then he comes to see you often? He must like you!"
Chu Lian'er's heart skipped a beat, and a scene immediately flashed into her mind.
Her cheeks flushed, and she quickly shook her head: "No way! How could someone like me be worthy of him?"
Upon hearing this, her colleague looked her over carefully and then said seriously, "I think you are absolutely worthy of her!"
Chu Lian'er is a very pretty girl, okay? She just doesn't dress up often. Family background? As long as the boy's family is well-off, that's enough!
Chu Lian'er disagreed, believing that Lin Jie's enthusiasm towards her stemmed from her scratching his car.
She was self-aware enough to realize that the ugly duckling couldn't possibly covet the swan.
...
"My sons! Daddy's home!"
A smug voice rang out from room 201.
Immediately afterwards, another shout rang out.
"Which brat is yelling like that? No respect for elders!"
Liu Qian sat up from the bed wearing only a pair of shorts.
Lin Jie walked into the dormitory carrying fried chicken, glanced at him, and said, "You deserve to eat chicken butts for what you said!"
In his view, Liu Qian has already been sentenced to eat chicken butts!
"You're back? Have you finished your business?"
Gu Fan, who was lying in bed playing on his phone, asked curiously when he saw this.
Lin Jie nodded, then said, "I brought fried chicken, who wants some?"
Gu Fan shook his head: "I'm full."
Liu Qian exclaimed excitedly, "I'll eat it!"
Lin Jie calmly said, "Since no one is going to eat it, I'll just have to digest it myself."
Liu Qian quickly pointed to himself: "Me? I'm not full!"
Lin Jie glanced at him: "Who are you?"
Liu Qian grinned obsequiously and said, "Godfather, don't you recognize Zilong? I am Zilong!"
Lin Jie's lips twitched slightly, too lazy to pay him any attention.
Afternoon classes proceeded as normal. The moment they stepped out of the dormitory, everyone's mouths dropped open, starting with their mothers.
This weather is scorching hot!
"I heard that the freshman military training has been postponed to October."
Liu Qian made a startling statement.
Gu Fan and Lin Jie were both shocked: "Holy crap? What's going on?"
"It's too hot now, and the school is worried about too many people suffering from heatstroke, so they've postponed it."
Lin Jie looked grief-stricken: "What does the school mean by this? Don't they want to see the students suffer? Is military training without the sun even military training?"
Gu Fan said with a sigh, "This year's freshmen are so lucky, it's a little annoying!"
Their military training was not postponed, and after the training, they looked like refugees who had come from Africa.
The current freshmen are receiving such good treatment that the older students are feeling somewhat resentful.
"Hey, it's fine if we don't have military training. There are so many girls in the freshman year, I can't get tanned."
Liu Qian said calmly.
Lin Jie looked at him with disdain: "You already have a girlfriend, and you're still thinking about beautiful women?"
Liu Qian said smugly, "What do you know? Looking at beautiful women is a man's nature! Taking another look can prolong your life!"
Gu Fan and Lin Jie both gave him the international hand gesture.
The afternoon classes were taught by the same teachers they had previously taught, and since everyone was already familiar with each other, the lessons began immediately.
Gu Fan sat in the second-to-last row, looking down as he texted Jiang Yumeng.
Gu Fan: No classes tomorrow, wanna go out tonight?
Jiang Yumeng: Okay, where does brother want to go?
Gu Fan: Is there anything you want to play?
Jiang Yumeng: Yes, the location is a hotel, and it's my boyfriend's brother!
Gu Fan: ...
You're not even trying to hide it!
However, Gu Fan was also a lecherous driver, and replied with a righteous expression: Great minds think alike!
