When lunch arrived, the former deputy class leader handed two lunch boxes to her and said, "Here, this is for you. Your extra large portion."
"Thank you." Zhong Yuxiu took it with both hands. "Why are there two lunch boxes? I thought there was only one."
"Is there such a big lunch box?" The former deputy class teacher gave her an indescribable look.
"That's right." Zhong Yuxiu suddenly understood and stood up with her lunch box. "You guys chat first. I'll go eat over there. Enjoy your meal, squad leader."
The former deputy class leader nodded and said, "Wash them and give them to me after you finish eating. These are borrowed from the cafeteria and need to be returned later." There were not many people coming to register at noon, so it was no problem to walk away for half an hour or ten minutes.
"I know, I know."
Zhong Yuxiu carried her lunch box to a pavilion across the street. Inside, there were stone tables and benches. In later times, it would have been a popular spot for school dates. Nowadays, everyone is busy studying, so dates are rare, but they do exist.
"Comrade Tian, come out." Without raising his head, he sat on the stone bench and opened his lunch box.
The former deputy class teacher was quite careful and took two pairs of chopsticks. I don’t know if he guessed something or was just being safe.
"Comrade Zhong." Tian Shangguo came out from his hiding place. Ever since Zhong Yuxiu went to help, he had been hiding and had never come out.
"Come and have dinner." Zhong Yuxiu turned around and glanced at him, a sly smile flashing across her starry eyes. "Please try the food in our Huada cafeteria."
At the bottom of the lunch box was rice, filling up half the entire thing, with three or four dishes on top. Although there was no meat, not much oil, and it was still rather dry, when you're hungry, any dish tastes good.
Tian Shangguo was shocked, "This, this won't do. I know how much you eat." He ate, so what did Comrade Zhong eat?
"It's okay. Eat a little at noon and then go back for a big dinner in the evening." Zhong Yuxiu smiled. "The food in the cafeteria is really not that good. We can't go back today, so let's just make do with it. You can't go without eating for a whole day, right? Come here and eat with us."
Tian Shangguo pursed his lips. He was indeed hungry at the moment. He had exercised a lot and consumed a lot of energy.
"Come and sit down. I don't like the food in the cafeteria. If I wasn't really hungry, I would have tried to endure it. It's really difficult for me to eat two lunch boxes of food." Zhong Yuxiu continued to persuade.
Tian Shangguo walked forward and sat across from Zhong Yuxiu. "Thank you, Comrade Zhong."
"What are you thanking me for? You and Comrade Haonan protected me through thick and thin, and you never complained."
Tian Shangguo forced a faint smile on his face, which disappeared in a flash. He and Zhong Yuxiu had a quiet meal together. Tian Shangguo was not a talkative person, and Zhong Yuxiu was very hungry and concentrated on eating. No one was in the mood to talk.
Tian Shangguo ate quickly and finished first; Zhong Yuxiu put down her chopsticks and came back to life.
"I'm full and I feel more energetic."
"Comrade Zhong, go ahead and do your work. I'll bring the lunch box to you after it's washed." She reached out and took the lunch box, placed it on top of the lunch box in front of him, picked it up and left. Her speed was so fast that Zhong Yuxiu was slightly stunned. Not to mention, the guards who could be sent out to protect people were all very strong.
At the registration point for Physics Class 1, the former deputy class leader nudged, "Look, who was that person who just left? He was having dinner with classmate Zhong. Let's ask him later."
"Men, don't be so gossipy." The study committee member said with a smile.
Luo Ban wasn't interested either. Zhong was the youngest in the class, had good grades, and was clear-headed. "I haven't seen him before, but Comrade Zhong knows where he is. Let's not ask about this. That man has a unique temperament and an upright posture, not like an ordinary person. Some things are not ours to ask or know, so let's just turn a blind eye."
"Hey, what are you thinking? I'm just worried that Zhong will get cheated because she's so young!" The former deputy class teacher glanced at them. "She's a student at Hua University, young and beautiful..."
"Don't use the same tactics you used against the educated youth who went to the countryside. Mr. Zhong isn't stupid, he's actually very smart."
"Student Zhong is back, so stop talking about the former deputy class leader." The study committee member saw Zhong Yuxiu coming from afar and hurriedly interrupted their conversation.
Zhong Yuxiu walked back quickly. In fact, she had already finished listening to their conversation. It must be said that Luo Ban was older, had experienced more things, had a broader experience, and had a broader vision and mind. Otherwise, the classmates in the class would not have accepted him as the class monitor.
Who among the students who managed to get into Huazhong University of Science and Technology didn't have their own pride? No one thought they were inferior to anyone else. To stand out in a class of dozens of people and convince their classmates was a man of great sophistication.
"What were you talking about? Why did you suddenly stop talking?"
"No, it's okay. We were just saying that not many students came to register this morning! They'll probably all be here this afternoon," the former deputy class leader said haltingly, a sudden lingering fear rising in his heart. Why did he feel like Zhong seemed to know what they were talking about? He couldn't possibly have heard from that far away.
The study committee member chuckled, "Is Zhong full?"
"I'm full. The food in the cafeteria hasn't changed." It still tastes the same.
"It's good to be full. Don't let you starve." The little girl is so cute and you can tell at a glance that she has never suffered any hardship.
Zhong Yuxiu shook her head and sighed, "I'm terribly hungry. It's such a miserable feeling."
The three of them shook their heads and laughed, and changed the subject at the same time, and no one asked the question.
"I didn't realize you've ever been hungry. Your family must be well off." He had good food and clothing, and lived off campus, so he was definitely not poor.
"Luo Ban, my family is pretty good, but I was miserable when I first went to the countryside." Zhong Yuxiu wrinkled her nose. "Let's not talk about it anymore. It's just too sad to talk about it. Let's wait here for the rest of the afternoon. Don't we have anything else to do?"
