"You come from a wealthy family, so I don't need to teach you Western dining etiquette step by step," Gu Yao said. The lunchbox he brought was just an ordinary boxed lunch, which was also Sister Luo's training tool. "When you're picking up food, don't just think about how hungry you are. When you stand up, bend down slightly, keep a smile on your face, and try not to get too close to the table. After you've picked up the food, eat it in small bites. Even if you eat slowly, you must chew slowly and carefully. Try not to get any oil stains on the corners of your mouth. You absolutely cannot wolf it down, do you hear me!"
"Yes, I understand."
It was an ordinary lunch, but I still had to eat it slowly and reluctantly under Sister Luo's supervision. I couldn't finish the whole meal. After eating most of it, I had to throw it aside, even if it was wasteful. Sister Luo said that this would make people think that girls have small appetites and are well-mannered. Eating too much in public would only make people dislike me and think that I don't know manners and don't respect the elders at the table.
In the afternoon, because Bai Xiaoruo had to go out for sketching, which was a class she couldn't miss, the etiquette training was moved to the evening.

But when she thought of Sister Luo's words of advice, Bai Xiaoruo straightened her back and dared not sit rudely anymore.
Ji Shushu hadn't seen Bai Xiaoruo all morning, including at noon. Seeing her return was a rare treat, so Ji Shushu quickly went up to her. "Xiaobai, where did you go? Why did you stay in the teacher's office for so long? I even went to the teacher's office after school at noon, but I didn't see you. The teacher said you had something more important to do, but didn't tell me what it was. Were you punished by the teacher somewhere?"
"Ugh, Shushu, I'm exhausted. Can you massage my back for me? I feel like I'm about to die."
"Is it really that bad? How did you get so tired? Did the teacher punish you by making you sweep the entire playground or by making you move some materials somewhere?" Ji Shushu asked Bai Xiaoru while massaging her lower back and shoulders.
"I'd rather be punished by sweeping the playground or carrying documents."
Thinking about the training she had to do when she got back tonight, Bai Xiaoruo felt like crying. There were still more than ten days of training ahead of her, it was really going to be tough.
