Although he wasn't picky about food, he knew that Xu Ningyan was.
I guess they wouldn't like the taste.
Moreover, looking at the classmates next to them, it's already quite a luxury for a couple like them, since they have meat on the table.
As expected, Xu Ningyan first picked up a mouthful of shredded potatoes and put it in her mouth without saying a word, then picked up a mouthful of celery. The celery was old and tough, and very hard to chew.
I took another sip of the soup, and yes, it was salty.
In short, the shredded potatoes taste like potatoes, the celery tastes like celery, and the meat tastes like meat; they are all unrelated.
Xu Ningyan began to lament, "Will I have to suffer through this kind of food all semester?"
But she didn't dare to complain or say anything.
For most people, this kind of food is already quite rare.
Fortunately, Xu Ningyan wasn't pretentious. Since she was already there, she decided to make the best of it and eat it anyway.
With the shredded potatoes, celery, and that free bowl of soup, I finally managed to finish my rice.
Jiang Zhiyuan finished off the rest of the food.
After finishing their meal, Xu Ningyan saw Jiang Zhiyuan off at the school gate. Jiang Zhiyuan could only comfort Xu Ningyan, "Why don't you go back and ask Aunt Mei to make some side dishes or beef sauce, and I'll bring it to you?"
Xu Ningyan nodded repeatedly: "Tell Aunt Mei to make it a little spicier, so it goes well with rice!"
After seeing Jiang Zhiyuan to the car, Jiang Zhiyuan still refused to get in, only looking at Xu Ningyan with reluctance. At this moment, he was filled with regret and wished he could put her in his pocket and take her back with him.
Xu Ningyan waved to Jiang Zhiyuan: "Go back to work! It's okay, I'll be home in five days! You should leave work early these next few days. If Pingping and An'an don't see me at night, they'll definitely look for me. As parents, one of us needs to be home, right? We need to give them time to adjust, don't we?"
Jiang Zhiyuan glanced at his watch, realizing he could no longer delay, and reluctantly got into the car.
Only after watching the car drive away did Xu Ningyan return to the school.
Before even entering the dormitory, I could hear a commotion inside, with people still discussing her and Jiang Zhiyuan.
"You guys think Xu doesn't look like a country girl? Her husband looks like he's no ordinary person. How come he got married at such a young age and had a child so early? Aren't it usually country girls who get married young?"
"You guys just don't understand, do you? Look at the way her husband acts, he's no ordinary person! If she doesn't have a baby soon, her position might be insecure!"
"Shouldn't you all keep quiet? It's none of our business how a couple behaves! Besides, I think Xu's husband treats her very well! He's not an ordinary person; he even makes the bed and tidies up for his wife. Their relationship must be really good!"
"Yes! Look at their family photo, happiness is overflowing from the picture! And so what if their partner is a little older? He still looks very young! I think they are a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman."
"Exactly! We're all classmates, and we'll be spending years together! It's the first time we've met, and we don't know anything, so how can we make wild guesses? Our leader told us that you can't speak without investigation! If you keep talking nonsense and ruin our classmates' reputations, I'll tell the teacher!"
The girl who had spoken earlier immediately panicked: "I was just saying it casually, just joking! We were only talking about it privately in the dorm, how did that ruin our classmate's reputation? Don't make a big deal out of it! Besides, you said it yourself, it was just a guess, so who knows if it's true? The person in question hasn't said anything yet, why are you so worried for her—"
The door creaked open, and Xu Ningyan walked in with a cold smile, immediately slapping the sarcastic girl across the face.
She remembered the girl's name, Yao Jingjing. When Jiang Zhiyuan was making up her bed in the dormitory, Yao Jingjing's eyes were not innocent when she looked at him.
She's only been gone a short while, and she's already gossiping behind my back. Does she think I'm dead?
This slap stunned all the girls in the dormitory. They probably had never seen anyone so fierce, coming in and slapping someone without asking any questions.
Yao Jingjing's face immediately swelled up. She covered her face and glared at Xu Ningyan angrily: "You, what right do you have to hit me?"
Xu Ningyan scoffed: "With such a foul mouth and such a filthy brain, shouldn't you be beaten?"
Yao Jingjing's face flushed red: "You...you actually dared to hit me! I...I'm going to tell the teacher—"
"Then go ahead and go! I was just about to ask the professor how such a prestigious school like Peking University could admit such a scumbag! They only met for the first time, and he was already making wild guesses about other people's marital relationship and slandering their reputation! I really don't know how he got in! It's true that the university's admission standards can filter out academic scum, but they can't filter out human scum!"
Xu Ningyan's sarcasm was merciless.
As soon as he finished speaking, someone nearby couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"You, you—" Yao Jingjing pointed at Xu Ningyan, unable to speak.
Xu Ningyan snorted coldly: "You don't need to thank me! I just did what I was supposed to do, and you got what you deserved!"
Yao Jingjing bit her lip, her eyes reddened, covered her face, turned around and rushed out the door.
The dormitory fell silent for a moment.
Xu Ningyan clapped her hands, not taking it seriously.
Then he opened the cabinet and took out a handful of candy: "Please have some candy, everyone!"
Seeing that Xu Ningyan seemed unaffected, the roommates exchanged glances before stepping forward to accept the candy.
The oldest student, Wang Yingchun, couldn't help but glance outside with concern: "Is it alright for Yao Jingjing to run away like this? From what she said, it seems like her family knows some teachers at the school. Will the teachers have a bad impression of our dormitory?"
Before Xu Ningyan could speak, Liu Fei, who seemed quiet and reserved, spoke up, her tone tinged with disdain: "We worked hard to get into Peking University to learn knowledge and repay our country! Not to come here to spread rumors and cause trouble with some bored people! I don't believe that the teachers at Peking University are so shallow and biased."
The other girls nodded in agreement. Who among those who could get into Peking University wasn't a chosen one? Who wasn't a little proud and arrogant?
People come to school to learn, not to play these scheming games.
Xu Ningyan nodded in agreement.
It seems that, apart from Yao Jingjing, the other roommates in this dormitory are all doing quite well so far.
It wasn't until evening that Yao Jingjing returned to her dorm room, her face stern, and she started throwing things around as soon as she entered.
Everyone was reading in their seats, eager to absorb knowledge, but Yao Jingjing's interruption made them all frown.
It was Guan Simin, the youngest of the group, who couldn't hold back any longer: "Can you please keep it down? This isn't just your room. You're disturbing us, don't you know that?"
Yao Jingjing sneered, saying sarcastically, "Oh, so you've climbed the social ladder? You know they're from Beijing and your partner isn't an ordinary person, so you're trying to build a good relationship beforehand? Planning ahead to stay in Beijing? Why are you so eager to curry favor? Do you even know if they have the ability to do this? Are you just going to throw yourself at them like that?"
One sentence offended everyone in the room, and their faces darkened.
