Qin Gang immediately stopped laughing.
Xiangyang's mouth was bulging with food. Although he wasn't eating in a messy manner, you could tell that he was eating in a bit of a hurry.
They looked like they were starving.
We really don't have money for food.
Qin Gang just stared at him, pursed his cold, hard lips, and then asked, "Didn't you say you were broke? How did you manage yesterday?"
As Xiangyang ate, he said, "...walked over here."
It's more than ten kilometers from his house to here.
Qin Gang rested one arm on the table, propping his head up, and asked him, "You came all this way just to use my phone?"
"Huh?" Xiangyang looked up suddenly, still holding chopsticks in his hand, with an innocent look on his face. "How could that be? Of course I came to see you because I care about you."
As he spoke, Xiangyang licked the oil from the corner of his mouth.
Qin Gang chuckled, "You care about me? Then tell me, why do you care about me?"
Qin Gang's gaze swept past the corner of his mouth, then lazily met his eyes, clearly showing disbelief.
Xiangyang frowned again, ignored him, and started eating, as if to say, "Fine, don't believe me if you don't want to."
Qin Gang, however, reached out and pressed his hand against his forehead, preventing him from eating while lying on the plate, insisting that he explain himself.
Xiangyang looked at him impatiently, finally sighed, and said, "That's because you're good to me."
"..." Qin Gang thought he was out of his mind. "How have I been good to you?"
Xiangyang: "I feel sorry for all of my money, but I still sleep in your bed and eat your food."
Qin Gang just stared at him, his eyes unreadable.
The meal was leftovers from Qin Gang, and Xiang Yang wasn't full.
Xiangyang used a chopstick to pick up a tiny, almost nonexistent cauliflower from the plate and put it in his mouth. "I'm serious, Uncle Qin, I really like you."
Qin Gang thought to himself, "Do you like it?"
[Ding! Qin Gang's Antisocial Index: 0.1%!]
Xiangyang paused, his hand holding the chopsticks still.
But then...
[Ding! Qin Gang's Antisocial Index: 99.9%]
Xiang Yang: "..."
Before the notification tone had even finished, another notification tone sounded, immediately following the previous one.
[Ding! Qin Gang's Antisocial Index: 60.0%]
Xiangyang bit her chopsticks; she was still terrified after the roller coaster ride.
Xiao Guai: "Xiang, Xiang Yang classmate..."
"..." Xiangyang communicated with it telepathically, "Little, little darling, just now... 0.1%? Did I almost succeed just now?"
Xiao Guai: "Okay, it seems so..."
Before I could even feel happy, it was already over.
Qin Gang leaned back in his chair and said lazily, "Let's go after we finish eating."
Xiangyang: "I said I'd stay and take care of you..."
"I'll have you take care of it!" Qin Gang interrupted him directly.
Xiangyang was truly embarrassed now.
He really should go back to school; after all, staying here doesn't make sense and doesn't fit the persona he's created for himself.
Xiangyang: "Let's go! I'm leaving in a bit!"
Xiangyang looked around the ward and said, "Uncle Qin, let me carve another little rabbit for you."
Qin Gang looked at him with droopy eyelids and said, "If you want to eat it, take it with you."
"Hehe, look at what you're saying." Xiangyang went to get a fruit knife and started peeling the little rabbit for him.
After peeling it, Xiangyang handed it to him, smiling and saying, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away."
Qin Gang didn't like it and didn't accept it.
Xiangyang held the little rabbit to his mouth, nuzzled it, and said, "Give me the honor, eat it! Eat it, if you eat it, I'll leave now!"
Qin Gang seemed to have had enough of him and finally took the "little rabbit" from him.
Then, Qin Gang saw Xiang Yang stuff two apples into his school uniform pocket right in front of him before reluctantly saying, "Uncle Qin, I'm leaving now! I'll come see you next Sunday."
After saying that, Xiangyang left.
Qin Gang took a long time to look away, and then looked at the "little rabbit" in his hand.
He was just about to eat when, unexpectedly, someone suddenly barged into the ward.
"Brother Qin!"
Qin Gang initially mistook it for Xiang Yang, and his hand trembled, causing the "little rabbit" in his hand to fall to the ground and get dirty.
A man named Zhu Erliang arrived; he had honest features and a stocky build.
Zhu Erliang met Qin Gang's fierce gaze head-on, stood at the door, and dared not go in.
What, what's going on?
Zhu Erliang didn't even have time for pleasantries before Qin Gang yelled "Get lost!" and sent him away.
Chang Qingqing was very satisfied that Xiangyang had obediently returned to school after her lecture.
Xiangyang doesn't go back to Qin Gang's house at noon.
I eat clear soup noodles for breakfast and dinner, and an apple for lunch.
Two apples lasted for two days.
That day, Xiangyang met a girl from his department in the study room.
Xiangyang couldn't find the girl's name in his memory. He had already stopped in front of her when he passed by, opened his mouth, but didn't know how to call her.
The girl looked up in confusion, wondering what it meant for Xiangyang, who was usually inconspicuous in class and would avoid eye contact, to be standing in front of her desk.
Xiangyang chuckled awkwardly, rubbed his nose with his hand, and said, "...You're here to learn too?"
The girl suddenly felt a sense of familiarity with this sunny person, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Yeah, you too?"
Xiangyang glanced at her test paper again.
The girl had heard a little about his family situation, so she kindly said, "These are the so-called 'secret exam papers' that I recently bought. When I leave later, would you like to take them with you and print out a copy?"
The girl thought Xiangyang would be embarrassed, but when Xiangyang heard this, he said very sincerely, "Thanks, I just happened to be short of money to buy practice questions, you really helped me a lot!"
"Huh?" The girl's eyes lit up with admiration when she heard him say that, and she said, "Then you can take a picture with your phone first, and sit down for now."
Upon learning that Xiangyang didn't have a phone, the girl generously took out her own phone and snapped two pictures of his science exam paper, telling him to look at the phone while he worked on it.
Holding the phone with the pink phone case, Xiangyang bowed deeply with gratitude at a 180-degree angle and exclaimed, "Thank you, sister!"
Finally, the two of them sat down together and chatted while doing their homework. After exchanging ideas about their studies, the girl was surprised to find that Xiangyang was a very good student; he could answer almost any question she asked.
