Meng Fei quickly grabbed Mu Yanxiu.
"Shh, don't let Zhou Xueguan hear us."
Upon hearing Zhou Xueguan's name, Mu Yanxiu immediately covered her mouth with both hands. After the morning, she was filled with fear of Zhou Xueguan.
"Let's go, or we might not get any food!" the little dumpling said, clutching her rumbling stomach.
"Ah! Right!" Mu Yanxiu slapped her forehead, realizing she had completely forgotten about eating!
She took off running, determined to be the first to eat.
Meng Fei then helped the little dumpling and slowly walked towards the cafeteria.
The cafeteria at Puxi College is very large and is divided into four rooms: one for plum blossoms, one for orchids, one for bamboo, and one for chrysanthemums. The meals are also tailored to different age groups.
The little dumpling walked to the dining table and stood there.
She had been spanked and couldn't sit down at all. In the huge room, she was the only little girl standing there awkwardly.
The little dumpling couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed by such conspicuous behavior.
She picked up her chopsticks, wanting only to finish eating quickly and leave.
"Mmm, Auntie, this pastry is made of red dates, it's so delicious, you should try some too." Mu Yanxiu said to the little dumpling, holding up a piece of date cake.
The little dumpling then noticed that there was no jujube cake in the rice in front of her.
The adults had prepared the meals in advance on the table, one serving for each person.
The little girl was the last to come in, so she could only choose the one remaining spot near the door.
The little dumpling looked at the other people's tables; everyone had jujube cake, but she didn't.
Moreover, Xiao Tuanzi discovered that her noodle soup was half a bowl less than everyone else's.
It's obvious that someone took her jujube cake and also ladled out her soup noodles.
She finally mustered up the energy to eat, only to find that she was the only one with less food.
The little dumpling immediately became aggrieved, and tears fell onto the table in a steady stream.
"Who took my jujube cake and ate my noodle soup?" The little dumpling sobbed as she looked around.
Everyone was eating when they heard the little dumpling crying, and they all looked up curiously.
Zhuang Yueyue sat behind the little dumpling and quickly hid the things in her hands in her sleeves.
After making a silent gesture to Zhuang Yueyue, Chi Yuning asked the little dumpling:
"What do you mean? We're all sharing the same piece of date cake, nobody took any!"
The remaining people nodded in agreement, "That's right, we're all eating our own food, no one's taking yours."
"But I don't have any jujube cake left..." the little dumpling said sadly.
Chi Yuning: "So you mean someone stole your jujube cake?"
As soon as Chi Yuning said this, everyone else became unhappy, after all, who wants to be mistaken for a thief!
Zhuang Yueyue also shouted, "We didn't steal your jujube cake! Maybe you ate some yourself and wanted an extra piece, so you're just pretending we stole it. You actually just wanted to rob us!"
"How annoying!"
"Exactly! They attacked Zhuang Yueyue this morning, and now they're accusing us of stealing from her. How annoying!"
Under the influence of Zhuang Yueyue and Chi Yuning's words, everyone harbored resentment towards the little dumpling.
Meng Fei tugged at the little dumpling's sleeve and said, "Little dumpling, how about I give you my jujube cake? I don't like jujubes anyway."
The little dumpling clenched its fists and shook its head.
A jujube cake might not seem like a big deal, but it's clear that someone targeted her and deliberately took it away.
Seeing her aunt being wronged, Mu Yanxiu slammed her hand on the table and stood up in anger, blurting out:
"My aunt didn't have any jujube cake, so someone must have stolen it!"
"Another annoying person!" A girl rolled her eyes at Mu Yanxiu.
Seeing the pairs of resentful eyes, Mu Yanxiu panicked and didn't know what to say.
The commotion caught the attention of Zhou Xueguan, who impatiently put down her chopsticks and walked over to the students of Meiyuan.
We finally had a chance to rest during lunch, but these kids started making a ruckus again.
Zhou Xueguan walked over and saw Xiao Tuanzi and Mu Yanxiu standing there, and his anger immediately flared up even more.
"Mu Jintuan, it's you again! What's wrong with you this time?"
The little dumpling pointed to its food and said, "Someone took my jujube cake, and half a bowl of my noodle soup is missing too."
Zhou Xueguan looked down and saw that the small bowl containing the jujube cake was indeed empty, and the soup noodles were also noticeably less than half a bowl. Not only that, but even the other side dishes and fruits were less.
Zhou Xueguan asked, "Didn't you eat just now?"
The little dumpling shook her head, rubbing her bottom, and said, "My bottom hurts, so I walk slowly. Mengfei and I were the last to arrive at the cafeteria, and I haven't eaten yet."
After listening, Zhou Xueguan looked at the food on Meng Fei's table.
The jujube cake was still there, and the noodle soup was still there, but a lot of the fruit had been taken away, leaving only a little.
Zhou Xueguan had a vague feeling that something was not so simple.
The students in Meiyuan are all relatively young, and the canteen staff usually prepare meals for each table according to the standard, without any shortages.
Besides, today is their first day of school, so the servants are even less likely to make a mistake on such a trivial matter.
Seeing that Zhou Xueguan was thinking, the little dumpling quickly said, "Zhou Xueguan, it's only been a short time since we started eating, and we don't eat very fast. If we check, it will be easy to find out if any food is missing."
Zhou Xueguan nodded and shouted to the thirty-five children, "Everyone stand up!"
Everyone stood up.
Zhuang Yueyue stood up shakily, looking at Chi Yuning with pleading eyes.
