(105)
Being questioned about homework by the tutor during lunch was absolutely terrifying. The female students turned pale, trembled all over, and scattered like birds. Finally, there was an empty space next to Cai Wenchuan. Ye Wenyu sat opposite him, and he said gently to her, "These dishes are getting cold. I'll get two more servings." He then got up.
"No need, it's not cold, it's delicious." To avoid wasting food, Ye Wenyu immediately picked up the chopsticks and food he had prepared for her and began to eat heartily.
After eating until she was about 70% full, she looked at the female student who was still sitting not far away, staring at her and Cai Wenchuan, and said to Cai Wenchuan, "Professor Cai, thank you. I know you want to take care of me and give me some nutrition." A warm feeling welled up in her heart. Brother Wen was probably the greatest warmth this cold world had given her.
Cai Wenchuan was stunned for a moment, wondering if he had made it so obvious. No one could hide his thoughts from him. He stammered, "No, nothing like that. I'm just eating alone and feeling lonely."
Ye Wenyu smiled gently and said to him, "Are you afraid of being lonely while eating? All the girls at Q University want to eat with you!" She playfully pointed to the girls in the distance who were swooning over Cai Wenchuan.
They are like stars surrounding the moon, and Professor Cai is that radiant moon.
Cai Wenchuan's face flushed slightly as he softly said to her, "But all I want is you to have dinner with me." He emphasized the word "you" slowly.
Ye Wenyu shook her head and said to him earnestly, "Professor Cai, thank you, but this can't continue. Your coming to the student cafeteria to eat with me will have a very negative impact on you." She thought to herself with annoyance, "Doesn't he understand? If this continues, there will be very serious consequences."
Cai Wenchuan looked at Ye Wenyu and said with some annoyance, "I've known you since we were little. I just want to see you when I eat. What's wrong with that? Can't teachers eat with their students?"
Ye Wenyu lowered her head and said calmly, "But this is a university after all. You are a teacher and I am a student. It's okay for a teacher and student to have a meal together once in a while. I'm worried that if I have a meal with you too often, rumors will start to spread."
A sarcastic smile appeared on Cai Wenchuan's face. He knew that Xiaoyu was telling the truth. Even if he didn't care about gossip, did Xiaoyu not care either?
He pondered for a moment and said to her, "This is easy to solve."
What?! Ye Wenyu looked up in shock. He said this matter was easy to solve. How? Cai Wenchuan stretched out his hand and waved to two or three girls not far away. The three girls immediately responded and rushed to Cai Wenchuan and Ye Wenyu's table with their lunch boxes at lightning speed.
They all sat down in unison, smiling as they looked at Professor Cai.
Cai Wenchuan smiled at them and said, "Would you like to have dinner with me too?"
The students nodded vigorously, and a cute girl said, trying to cover up her ignorance, "Of course! Eating with the professor and learning at the same time is so wonderful and motivating!"
The other girls burst into laughter.
Cai Wenchuan nodded in satisfaction and said, "Okay, from now on, we can eat together and discuss our homework while we eat, okay?"
The other girls were stunned, their faces turning pale. Was it really necessary to discuss homework during a meal?
Cai Wenchuan said to one of the girls, "Xiaowei, there's a problem with your thesis. Bring it over for dinner tomorrow."
Xiaowei's face was deathly gray.
The other girls were also a little scared, but they still didn't move.
A bold girl mustered her courage and tentatively said, "Excuse me, Professor Cai, if I discuss homework during meals, I will have trouble digesting it. It's a problem I've had since I was little. Could you, um, not discuss homework?"
Cai Wenchuan shook his head.
The bold young woman could only sigh and say, "Then I'll try my best to adapt." She still insisted on having meals with Professor Cai.
Ye Wenyu watched all this, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Cai Wenchuan said to them, "Let's eat." Then he picked up his chopsticks, but he only put food on Ye Wenyu's plate. Soon, her white rice was piled high with all kinds of delicious dishes.
She looked at the dishes, then at the female students sitting next to her. To avoid any negative impact on her, Cai Wenchuan had invited the other female students to join them for dinner, turning their date into a gathering of three to five people. This way, no one would spread rumors that she and Professor Cai were in a teacher-student relationship.
Cai Wenchuan is really clever! But Ye Wenyu thought about it and looked at the food in her lunchbox. He only put food on her plate. Among a group of female students, she was the only one who received his favor. Could this kind of opportunity to have meals together really continue in the long run?
Cai Wenchuan winked at her smugly, his eyes saying, "See, the problem is solved."
However, every time Brother Wen reached into her bowl with his chopsticks, the other girls who were eating would stop eating and all look at her with resentment.
She was still filled with anxiety.
After that, Cai Wenchuan would come to the student cafeteria to have lunch with Ye Wenyu every day without fail. In order to avoid having a bad influence on Ye Wenyu, he would invite several other female students to have lunch with the two of them every few days. However, during the meal, he would at most nod to the few excited female students, and then focus all his attention and care on Ye Wenyu. He would use serving chopsticks to serve her food, order seven or eight dishes for her, remind her to wear more clothes when the weather was cool, and remember to bring an umbrella when it rained. He would also bring her honey milk and brown sugar ginger tea in a thermos and tell her to drink them after the meal.
In short, Ye Wenyu was the only one favored, while the other girls who ate with her were green with envy. Ye Wenyu was both amused and exasperated. Having Brother Wen accompany her to eat, being able to eat seven or eight dishes at each meal, was naturally the happiest thing. After he ate with her, her weight had increased by several kilograms, her complexion had become rosy, and she had gained some weight. Most importantly, the symptoms of unsteady steps, swaying body, insufficient blood supply, and trembling fingertips that she used to suffer from had all disappeared. This was naturally thanks to Cai Wenchuan eating with her.
She is happy. But can this happiness last forever?
As clever as Ye Wenyu was, she naturally knew the reason. Her brother must have heard somewhere that her family was poor and that she only ate one vegetable dish per meal to save money. He was worried that she would become malnourished in the long run, so he came up with the idea of coming to the student cafeteria and getting seven or eight dishes at a time to eat with her. In order to avoid the spread of malicious rumors and slander that would have a negative impact on her, he realized that he could not eat alone with her every day. Although he really wanted to, he could not. So every few days, he would invite two or three different female students to eat with him and Ye Wenyu.
