After class, at Zhao Liuer's suggestion, Qian Cheng took Ai Yu's book. Zhao Liuer then dragged Ai Yu towards the cafeteria, saying, "Ai Yu, remember, you have to eat every meal on time. You can't just exercise without eating. Your body won't be able to handle it."
Qian Cheng echoed from the side: "Zhao Liuer is right."
Ai Yu let Zhao Liuer pull her away. She didn't understand why she had to eat, just like she didn't understand why she had to communicate with others.
In the cafeteria, Zhao Liuer ordered one meat dish and two vegetable dishes, as well as a small bowl of soup for Ai Yu, but she paid with Qian Cheng's card because Ai Yu had no money on the card and she herself was not very wealthy.
Zhao Liuer finally understood why Ai Yu could only eat compressed biscuits in the dormitory, and also understood why Ai Yu was short and thin. The child was hungry!
"Ai Yu, hasn't the Jigong scholarship been paid to you yet? You don't have a penny on your meal card. How are you going to survive?"
Ai Yu picked at the food, taking small bites. After thinking for a moment, he replied, "I don't want to eat."
"How can I not eat?" Zhao Liu'er shook her head. "Didn't your guardian give you money for the meal?" She and Qian Cheng exchanged a glance. "Qian Cheng, the money for this meal..."
Qian Cheng was eating a chicken leg in his hand and said nonchalantly, "It's no big deal. Ai Yu will follow me from now on. Whenever I have a bite to eat, Ai Yu will have a bite to eat too." He now had a general understanding of Ai Yu's current situation and felt pity for her.
"But your money didn't just come from the wind." Zhao Liu'er noticed that Li Yuzhen seemed to appear in her sight. "I think I saw Teacher Li. I'll go ask Teacher Li. Qian Cheng, you just stay here and watch Ai Yu eat. Don't let her refuse."
"Okay, go ahead." Qian Cheng finished the chicken leg in his hand in a few bites, looked at Ai Yu, and found that she had eaten less than one fifth of it.
You eat so slowly.
"Teacher Li!"
Li Yuzhen had just bought a bottle of water when he seemed to hear Zhao Liuer's voice. He turned around, unscrewed the bottle cap with his left hand, and took a sip: "What's the matter?"
Zhao Liuer came to stand in front of Li Yuzhen and said, "Teacher Li, doesn't Jigong have a scholarship? Is Ai Yu's name on the list? Ai Yu's guardian doesn't care about her. She has no money to eat. She even only had two compressed biscuits yesterday."
Of course, this speech was exaggerated, but she needed to get Li Yuzhen's attention.
Li Yuzhen pressed the button on his right hand, projecting the screen. He checked for a moment, "Ai Yu's profile says she's from Huadu, and she's paid her tuition in full. The school has determined she doesn't need a scholarship. Does Ai Yu really have no money for food?" He looked up at Zhao Liu'er. "If what you say is true, I can submit an application to get her a scholarship."
Zhao Liuer nodded frantically. "Really? Because she seemed to have not eaten all day. I just dragged her here for dinner and found that there was not a penny on her card. This dinner was actually treated to her by Qian Cheng."
"Where is she? Take me to her."
When Zhao Liuer brought Li Yuzhen over, Ai Yu had only finished half of her meal. Qian Cheng greeted Li Yuzhen, who nodded in response and then looked at Ai Yu: "Ai Yu."
Ai Yu looked up when he heard that, realizing he should greet the teacher: "Teacher Li."
Li Yuzhen asked, "Didn't your adoptive father give you living expenses?"
Ai Yu uttered an "ah" and put down his chopsticks: "Living expenses, what is that?"
The three of them held their foreheads together.
Li Yuzhen checked again and found that Hua Jianzui paid Ai Yu's tuition. He sighed silently: "Doesn't your adoptive father care about you?"
Ai Yu blinked, thought carefully, and replied: "He doesn't care about me."
Qian Cheng exclaimed, "Why would he adopt you if he doesn't care about you?"
Zhao Liuer echoed: "Yes."
Ai Yu was silent for a while, then whispered, "I don't know."
Li Yuzhen thought for a while and said, "Give me your meal card."
Although Ai Yu didn't know the significance of doing this, she still obediently gave her meal card to Li Yuzhen.
Li Yuzhen glanced at the meal card ID and topped up Ai Yu's account with 1,000 yuan. "From now on, eat on time. I'll figure out the scholarship issue. As your homeroom teacher, I'll take care of you even if your adoptive father doesn't."
Zhao Liuer sighed in her heart and looked at Li Yuzhen with admiration. This teacher is so nice and she is so lucky.
Qian Cheng then spoke up: "Teacher Li, if Jigong doesn't give Ai Yu a scholarship, I'll ask my dad to sponsor Ai Yu?"
"Hmm?" Zhao Liu'er raised an eyebrow and looked at Qian Cheng, "Qian Cheng, is your family rich?"
"It's still possible to let Ai Yu have money to eat."
Li Yuzhen nodded: "Okay, you three remember to go back to the dormitory and rest early, I'm leaving."
"Goodbye, Teacher Li." Zhao Liu'er sat down again, knocked on the table, and reminded, "Ai Yu, continue eating. Finish your meal!"
Qian Cheng licked the grease on his lips and stood up to buy something to eat: "Zhao Liuer, do you want to eat something?"
"Ah? I don't want to eat."
"OK."
Zhao Liuer lay on the dining table, watching Ai Yu eat. She was so cute, like a hamster... No, what was she thinking!
"Ai Yu."
"Hmm?" Ai Yu looked up in confusion and looked at Zhao Liu'er opposite him.
"Have you never even had a good meal before?" Zhao Liu'er poked her cheek. "I really don't understand. Your adoptive father adopted you, but he didn't give you food. So why did he adopt you? Oh, by the way, Teacher Li just said that your tuition was paid in full. Did your adoptive father pay for it?"
Ai Yu thought for a moment and said, "No. Sister Hua paid for it."
"Sister Hua?"
"Well, her name is Huajianzui."
"Huh?!" Zhao Liu'er was clearly surprised, her voice rising considerably. "You know Hua Jianzui? Wow, that's great! Ai Yu, what kind of person is Hua Jianzui in private?"
"Ah...alcoholic." Ai Yu thought for a moment and finally came up with this word. "She and Teacher Li often come here to drink."
Zhao Liu'er was shocked again: "Is Teacher Li also an alcoholic? I can't tell."
"No..." Ai Yu shook her head, "Teacher Li only drinks two cups each time."
The two chatted casually, and Zhao Liuer found that Ai Yu could communicate with her normally. She was very happy. She was quite amazing.
When Qian Cheng came back, he brought a bottle of pure milk to each of his two classmates: "You're welcome."
Zhao Liu'er was a little embarrassed: "Qian Cheng, you..."
Qian Cheng interrupted her: "I already said you're welcome. We are classmates now and will be comrades-in-arms in the future, which means we are a family. Besides, it's just a bottle of milk."
"Okay." Zhao Liu'er didn't dare to say anything else. She put in the straw and took two sips. Seeing that Ai Yu had almost finished her meal, she narrowed her eyes and said, "Great, Ai Yu. You should eat well like you did tonight in the future."
"Um."
As the night grew deeper, Qian Cheng sent the two girls back to the dormitory, stretched, and walked towards the boys' dormitory.
