Song Hongye's expression was somewhat exaggerated, "Didn't she used to say she was afraid of gaining weight and didn't dare to eat meat?"
Lu Ziqun scoffed and said disdainfully, "She talks like a flood, you don't believe a damn thing."
Ye Qingqing looked at her in surprise. Although Lu Ziqun disliked Sun Yurong before, she never said it out loud. This was the first time she had openly belittled her like this!
What did Sun Yurong do to upset Lü Ziqun?
But Song Hongye wasn't wrong. Sun Yurong ate very lightly, only vegetarian dishes for every meal, just like Qian Manduo. However, Qian Manduo had to eat vegetarian dishes because his family was poor.
Sun Yurong's family was quite well-off. This girl especially loved buying clothes. Every weekend, she would go shopping with the church, and she never left empty-handed. She would buy a piece of clothing, a pair of shoes, or a bag.
Moreover, Sun Yurong always said that her brother was doing business in the south, making a lot of money, and that he doted on her, sending her a lot of money every month.
However, Ye Qingqing found it strange. Sun Yurong was not a generous person. She was very frugal in other aspects. For example, when using face wash or toothpaste, she was reluctant to squeeze out too much. Each time, she would only use a little bit, about the size of a mung bean. She said that there was no need to waste it, but... such a little bit was too little.
As for meals, since the start of the semester, Ye Qingqing has never seen her eat meat. Every meal consists of vegetables, shredded potatoes, or tofu, just like Qian Manduo.
The strangest thing is that Sun Yurong always eats alone. Sometimes Song Hongye and Lü Ziqun would call her, but Sun Yurong never answered, only saying that she wasn't hungry yet. But as soon as Lü Ziqun and the others left, Sun Yurong would also go to the cafeteria.
After a while, no one called her to eat anymore.
"Maybe they're just craving meat," Ruan Yingzi said.
It was just a small matter about eating, and everyone only mentioned it briefly without taking it to heart. However, once someone started talking about it, Lü Ziqun couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"It feels like the money on my meal card doesn't last long. I topped it up with 100 yuan at the start of the semester, and now I only have a little over 80 yuan left. How many meals can I afford with that money?"
Song Hongye felt a pang of sympathy, "Mine is the same, I only have a little over seventy left, and even the meal tickets don't last long. I bought two hundred meal tickets during a month of military training."
“I also bought a hundred yuan worth, but I didn’t eat much. How come I spend so little?” Lu Ziqun was extremely puzzled.
Song Hongye shrugged. "My mom always says that money is becoming increasingly scarce. Before, a hundred yuan could last the family for half a month, but now it can only last for a few days. This is normal for our meal cards."
Lu Ziqun agreed, so he stopped worrying about the meal card and started chatting with Song Hongye about other things. Ye Qingqing and Ruan Yingzi just kept their heads down and ate, not saying a word.
"Please enjoy your meal."
Ye Qingqing and Ruan Yingzi ate quickly and returned to their dormitory after finishing, while Lü Ziqun and Song Hongye continued to eat and chat.
As Ye Qingqing passed by Sun Yurong, she glanced at her unintentionally and was slightly surprised. There were quite a few good dishes. She even ordered two large pork chops, as well as braised ribbonfish and braised beef. There wasn't much rice; it was mostly dishes. Sun Yurong was busy eating, which was completely different from her usual elegant and refined eating manner.
Noticing someone watching her, Sun Yurong suddenly looked up and saw Ye Qingqing and Ruan Yingzi. She instinctively covered the rice bowl with her hand, but quickly moved it away and gave an embarrassed smile.
Ye Qingqing smiled and left with Ruan Yingzi.
Sun Yurong breathed a sigh of relief and continued eating. She hadn't eaten meat in a long time, and her stomach was completely cleansed of all the fat. Today was a rare opportunity, so she had to eat as much as she could.
