Ye Qingqing's interest grew even stronger. What was going on? It looked like she was being confessed to!
Ye Qingqing recognized the male classmate, but he wasn't in the same class. She had seen him in a general education class; he must be from another class. He was quite good-looking, tall and big, and looked like an athlete. Judging from his clothes, he probably came from a well-off family.
Most importantly, the male student's accent sounded like that of a local from Pingjiang.
"I didn't promise to go, so why are you blaming me for waiting?" Qian Manduo said calmly.
The male classmate felt even more aggrieved, "You didn't say you weren't going. Silence means agreement. I took that as your agreement. I waited from the beginning of the movie until the end. I even bought you ice cream, your favorite taro flavor."
"What about ice cream?" Qian Manduo couldn't help but ask, swallowing hard. Ice cream was indeed her favorite food.
When the weather is hot, she would reward herself with a taro ice cream every month, but only once a month. It was her only luxury, and it was the cheapest cone ice cream, costing only one yuan.
Even so, she still felt guilty because her younger siblings back home had never even eaten the cheapest white sugar popsicles, or even heard of ice cream. She felt bad if she ate it once a month and felt sorry for her younger siblings back home.
"It melted and smeared all over my hand."
"You didn't eat?" Qian Manduo suddenly raised her voice, startling the male classmate, who looked at her strangely, not understanding why she was angry.
The boy shrank back and whispered, "I don't like ice cream. That was for you."
He only likes to drink Coke and Sprite. After playing football, he would drink a big glass of ice-cold Coke, which tasted great. So in the summer, the refrigerator at his house was full of Coke, which he and his dad both loved to drink.
"So you just watched the ice cream melt into mush?" Qian Manduo's expression turned serious, and she looked at the male classmate with even more disappointment.
This is one of the reasons why she was unwilling to accept the advances of male classmates.
Although she didn't want to date mainly because she didn't want external factors to affect her studies, the male classmates' own thoughts and lifestyle habits were also factors she didn't consider.
Because she worked part-time in the cafeteria, she had to clean the tables every day and pour the leftover food into the slop bucket. Every time she saw some classmates throwing away a lot of food, it pained her to see so much money wasted. She couldn't stand wasting food.
There are still many people in her hometown, including her parents and siblings, for whom even a full meal is a luxury, and they have never even dreamed of fish or meat. Yet these classmates threw away all the best meat. If they couldn't finish it, why didn't they take less?
Among these classmates whom Qian Manduo loathed was the male classmate standing before him.
Moreover, he was the one who wasted the most food. Qian Manyu saw her male classmate order a lot of meat dishes, only eat a few bites, and then throw them away without eating any rice. Later, she heard that this male classmate disliked the food in the cafeteria and only ate there when accompanying classmates. He would eat a few bites as a token gesture and then go to a restaurant outside to eat stir-fried dishes.
This behavior made Qian Manduo feel no goodwill towards this male classmate, and even a bit disgusted. However, she never expected that this annoying male classmate would confess his feelings to her at graduation. He even gave her movie tickets last night and said he would wait for her forever.
Pshaw, what do you mean by "forever and ever"? Humans don't even live to the end of time, and we're not demons!
