"Eh? Xianxian, why didn't you eat spareribs today?"
While eating in the cafeteria at noon, Shen Ling glanced at Jia Xianxian and asked in confusion.
Qiao Chu raised his head and looked at Jia Xianxian's plate. There were mushrooms and rapeseed, cold kelp shreds, and... hand-shredded cabbage?
Looking at the green patch, she asked with a puzzled look on her face, "Xianxian, you didn't forget that today is Friday, did you? Didn't you go to get the sweet and sour pork ribs at the second window?"
No, Jia Xianxian's love for the sweet and sour pork ribs at the second window has reached the point of obsession. She starts looking forward to it from Monday and keeps looking forward to it until Friday. Other students are looking forward to the holiday after Friday, but she is looking forward to the pork ribs on Friday.
Jia Xianxian paused holding the chopsticks, then picked up a piece of rape from the plate, put it in her mouth, and chewed it with relish. "I suddenly found that vegetables are delicious, light, crisp and not greasy, and good for health, it's really killing two birds with one stone. Spare ribs and the like are too strong and greasy."
Qiao Chu's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help rolling his eyes. "Cut it out. Spare ribs are too strong and I feel sick of them. I don't know who said, 'Every day without spare ribs is a torment', 'If life doesn't have mutton skewers, braised pork, spicy crabs, boiled shrimps, and Buddha jumps over the wall, what fun is there!' Please think back, is that what you said? What's wrong? Did you lose your memory?"
A series of dishes were announced, and Jia Xianxian almost drooled. Looking at the green in front of her, she felt more and more tasteless. She lost her appetite instantly. She put down her chopsticks and sighed heavily -
well--
"Xiao Qiao, it's hard not to tell the truth, but you just have to tell it out. I could have used this excuse to deceive myself, but now that you've exposed it, what should I do?"
Jia Xianxian shook her head irritably, "Why are these vegetables so unpalatable!"
"You still eat it even though it tastes bad? Why don't you eat delicious spareribs?" Qiao Chu said with a frown, "Your change is too fast. You suddenly changed from a meat lover to a vegetarian lover. How are you going to eat your favorite hot pot in the future? You can't order tripe, beef rolls, duck intestines..."
"Okay, okay, Xiao Qiao, please stop, I really can't bear it anymore." Jia Xianxian sucked her saliva, looking depressed, "Okay, to tell you the truth, I'm trying to lose weight recently."
"Lose weight?" Qiao Chu and Shen Ling were both surprised.
It's no wonder they were surprised. Although Jia Xianxian was fat, she had never thought about losing weight. Not only that, she also tried every possible way to avoid it. In her words -
"With so much delicious food, how can I find time to lose weight?"
In general, she is a foodie who puts food above all else. As for whether she is fat or not, as long as it doesn't interfere with her eating, it's fine.
Now, she actually said she wanted to... lose weight?
Only a fool would believe that!
Seeing her two good friends showing disbelief after being surprised, Jia Xianxian got anxious, "I'm serious, I've really made up my mind this time, I must lose weight successfully! I will never give up until I lose weight, at least to..."
She looked at Qiao Chu's slender waist, then glanced at Shen Ling's thin shoulders, hesitated, and looked around the cafeteria. Suddenly, she pointed at a girl not far away and announced loudly: "I won't stop until I lose weight like her!"
Qiao Chu and Shen Ling looked in the direction she pointed, and saw a well-proportioned girl eating with her back to them. Strictly speaking, the girl was not thin, but she was definitely not fat either. How to describe her? It was... just right.
Qiao Chu retracted his gaze, shook his head at Jia Xianxian, and said earnestly: "Xianxian, you should...don't waste that energy."
She really didn't have any hope for Jia Xianxian to lose weight. Don't ask, the reason is that she knew this good friend too well. Her love for food was the most fanatical that Qiao Chu had ever seen. In her mind, nothing could replace food.
Seeing Qiao Chu pouring cold water on her, Jia Xianxian's face was full of displeasure, "Xiao Qiao, why are you like this? You are my good friend, you should encourage me, right? Besides, I am really serious this time. I have been eating vegetarian food for two consecutive days. And I have given up my usual snacks and midnight snacks..."
"...Okay, I wish you success then."
Qiao Chu couldn't stand her sad look, so he just replied perfunctorily, but in his heart he thought: I hope she can hold on for a few more days...
After lunch, there was still some time before the afternoon class, so Jia Xianxian took Qiao Chu to the flower bed on campus, which was a remote and very quiet place.
The two found a clean place to sit down, looking at the withered flowers and willows in front of them that had been withered by the autumn wind, in silence.
After a while, Qiao Chu spoke first, "Tell me, why do you want to lose weight? I remember you said that it would be impossible to lose weight forever."
"Well..." Jia Xianxian's face flushed, and she said shyly, "Xiao Qiao, I'm... in love."
"What?" Qiao Chu jumped up in shock. "In love? With whom?"
This shouldn't be the case. Jia Xianxian is always with her, and she has never seen her get close to any boy, except...
"Is it Senior Jiang or Senior Fu?"
They were only familiar with two boys, Jiang Yuzhou and Fu Zhen.
"No, how could it be them!"
"Is that the boy from your class 5?"
“Not really…”
"That is..."
"Okay, Xiao Qiao, stop guessing." Jia Xianxian stood up and stamped her feet. "He's from another school."
"From another school?" Qiao Chu was surprised and asked, "Then how did you two know each other?"
Speaking of this, Jia Xianxian looked shy, with a hint of sweetness on the corners of her mouth. She covered her chest and said, "It was a very ordinary day. However, what made us happy was that our car broke down..."
Qiao Chu interrupted in confusion: "The car is broken, what's there to be happy about?"
"...Don't interrupt my thoughts." Being pulled back from her beautiful memories by Qiao Chu, Jia Xianxian looked unhappy, "Do you want to listen to me or not?"
"Okay, go ahead." Qiao Chu pouted her lips and made a zipper-like motion, indicating that she had sealed her mouth.
Jia Xianxian nodded with satisfaction, and continued, "Originally, it was unpleasant that the car broke down, but what happened next can be described as - romantic. The car broke down, and it was the peak time for school, so I couldn't get a taxi at all, so I decided to walk home. When I walked to a more remote path, a few gangsters suddenly jumped out in front of me. They stopped me and asked me to hand over my wallet. I was afraid that they would hurt me, so I gave them all the valuables on me. Who knew that they... came up and made a move on me. At this time, a handsome boy passed by and beat those gangsters in a few moves. He was so agile... Not only did he save me, but he also helped me get the money back. At that moment, I felt that I was shot by the arrow of Cupid, and I fell in love with him... at first sight..."
"Oh, so that's it." Qiao Chu curled his lips and couldn't help rolling his eyes when he saw Jia Xianxian's dazed and intoxicated look.
There is a lot of nonsense, but it can be summed up in four words - a hero saves the beauty.
"So, you two are together? You confessed first?"
"...No, it's not that fast. I just have a one-sided crush on him. He's so handsome, has a great body, and is very agile..."
"Okay, stop talking." Qiao Chu quickly stopped her, to prevent her from praising him endlessly. "That boy just saved you once, and you fell in love with him? You are too unreliable, aren't you? Do you know his name, where he studies, where he lives, what his personality is like, whether he has a girlfriend, all of this, do you know everything?"
"Of course I know. I have already found out all this. His name is Ye Kuan, and he is a student in Class 6, Grade 3 of Haishi No. 4 Middle School. The point is—he doesn't have a girlfriend yet."
"No. 4 Middle School?"
Qiao Chu frowned.
Unlike No. 1 Middle School, No. 4 Middle School is famous for its difference. The poor refers to all aspects, whether it is the teaching quality, teaching facilities, teaching atmosphere, or the quality of students, all of which are notoriously poor. The school is a mixed bag, with bad boys flocking in large numbers.
What good boys can there be?
As soon as she saw Qiao Chu's expression, Jia Xianxian knew what she was thinking. She shook her head and explained anxiously, "Xiao Qiao, although Ye Kuan is a student of No. 4 Middle School, he is really different. He is not a bad boy. He is very good. It's just that his family is too poor and he doesn't have much money to go to a good high school, so he goes there. If you meet him, you will find that he is really good!"
Looking at Jia Xianxian's serious expression, Qiao Chu felt that things were a bit difficult to handle. Xianxian seemed to really like Ye Kuan. What should he do...
Qiao Chu didn't know whether he should be happy for her or stop her...
At this time, Jia Xianxian asked again: "Xiao Qiao, do you have anything else to do tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow? Isn't tomorrow Saturday? Of course it's fine."
What else can she do now besides studying at home?
"That's great!" Jia Xianxian stepped forward, took her arm, and said coquettishly, "Then can you accompany me to a place tomorrow?"
"Where?"
Jia Xianxian was a little embarrassed, her eyes were a little evasive, and she said mysteriously: "It's a secret for now."
"What's so mysterious about this place? And you're keeping it a secret from me?"
Qiao Chu cast a suspicious look at Jia Xianxian.
What the hell is this guy doing?
Jia Xianxian felt a little guilty when she looked at her. She stamped her feet, shook her arm vigorously, and raised her voice: "No matter what, you have to accompany me. I really need you to be with me. Please, Xiao Qiao, you are the best!"
"Okay, okay, I promise you!"
Qiao Chu felt a little dizzy from being shaken by her, and quickly agreed, freeing his arm at the same time.
"Really? You are really my good sister!" Jia Xianxian's eyes lit up, and she happily hugged Qiao Chu. At the end, she added with concern, "Then you are not allowed to regret it!"
"I know. I won't regret it. Don't worry."
Regret? joke!
She, Qiao Chu, will never regret what she has decided!
