"Why..." Before Chu Suhe asked why, Xia Ruoming pressed her fingers on Chu Suhe's lips.

"I want to watch you eat with my own eyes. After all, it costs a hundred yuan. Is that not okay? Chu, the class monitor?" Xia Ruoming said word by word, looking straight into Chu Suhe's eyes. At that moment, Chu Suhe felt as if her eyes saw through his heart completely.

"Okay..." Chu Suhe compromised helplessly, but ordering a dollar's worth of stir-fried lettuce and adding a free soup wouldn't count as just eating pickles, she thought to herself.

Xia Ruoming smiled and touched Chu Suhe's head, and Chu Suhe narrowed her eyes and seemed to rub Xia Ruoming's palm with her hair, just like a kitten.

Just then, Xia Ruoming's cell phone rang at an inopportune time. She just glanced at the caller's name and almost froze all over.

There was only one word written in the caller column: "Mom".

The moment I picked up the phone, an angry voice came from the other end: "Xia Ruoming! You want to make trouble, right? Yesterday you were still saying that you wanted to get into a 211 university, but today you dared to skip class and even asked the teacher to call your home!"

Liu Ruoxue could accept that Xia Ruoming had poor grades. After all, everyone has different talents. You can't force an artist to become a mathematician. That's nonsense. But whether to go to school or not is a matter of principle. It was Xia Ruoming's own choice to get into this school. As a parent, she also supported her financially and would never accept her skipping classes.

"Mom, you misunderstood, I..."

"What misunderstanding? What do you want to explain now? I'll make you explain enough! You've become too independent, right? Xia Ruoming, why did I give birth to such an unfilial daughter like you?" Liu Ruoxue's furious voice kept coming from the other end of the phone, and next to her was Xia Jingsong's voice constantly persuading her.
