CHAPTER 933: CHAPTER 543: JOKE
Monday, after self-study class.
Many students took this opportunity to go out for breakfast.
Cao Kun put on a pleasing face: "Ziyun, let me treat you to breakfast, there’s a tea house nearby. I heard they have a great selection of dishes. We can take a cab there, and we’ll have just enough time."
Last night, he mistakenly identified a photo posted by Meng Ziyun, and to make up for his mistake and mend their relationship, Cao Kun decided to splurge.
The price at that tea house is quite high, it’s estimated that two people would spend over a hundred yuan.
Meng Ziyun reluctantly agreed, but she still had a cold attitude: "Alright."
Just like that, she didn’t take her good friend Tang Jing and went out with Cao Kun directly for morning tea.
From the back row, Lu Qiqi called out: "Wenwen, Yanan, come here quickly!"
After Yu Wen and Jiang Yanan came over, Lu Qiqi took out two bags of bread from her desk: "You guys eat."
Yu Wen looked inside the bag and was surprised to find crescent-shaped, golden bread:
"Qiqi, you have them again today?"
The bread looked plump, with layers of puff pastry on the side. Even without tasting it, one could tell it must be crispy and soft.
Jiang Yanan identified it and said: "This is freshly baked croissant bread, right?"
These freshly baked breads from the dessert shop are much better in taste and nutrition than the packaged ones sold at small supermarkets outside.
Lu Qiqi pressed on her temples and said helplessly, "Yes, someone gave them to me."
Yu Wen was a bit envious. She always thought she didn’t look much worse than Lu Qiqi, but no boy ever gave her such delicious treats.
However, when Yu Wen’s gaze passed across the classroom and landed on Huang Zhongfei, she felt relieved.
Jiang Yanan was curious: "Why don’t you eat the bread he gave you? You always give it to us?"
Yu Wen was also puzzled.
Lu Qiqi said with a bit of disdain: "The bread he gives is the leftover ones from the dessert shop, the discounted bread. Although it can be eaten, I just don’t like it."
Jiang Yanan: "...It shouldn’t be a big deal, right? The bread from their shop can last two or three days, and you can get it at a cheaper price."
Lu Qiqi: "As a gift, it shouldn’t feel so cheap, Yanan, do you understand?"
Lu Qiqi looked at this point, glanced at Dan Kaiquan and Wang Longlong in the back row, and explained to them:
"When you give gifts to girls in the future, don’t do it like this, understand? It’s really low!"
So Lu Qiqi never ate these special offer breads, always using them as waste and giving them to her friends.
After listening, Dan Kaiquan found it somewhat reasonable and agreed: "Indeed."
Wang Longlong, upon hearing, noticed Brother Ma still playing games, and echoed:
"Exactly, exactly, that guy had no sincerity at all. In the past, when my friend pursued a girl, he personally went to the ranch to choose the healthiest cows, squeezed the freshest milk, used imported wheat flour, and let his family’s top chef make the dough, then baked it in the oven. That’s what you call attentive, that’s sincerity."
Lu Qiqi was getting more confused the more she listened, and for a moment, didn’t know whether to agree or disagree.
Ma Shicheng, after finishing the game, also chimed in: "Since you don’t like eating discounted bread, why do you still accept it? Such endurance, it must have been hard for you."
...
Before the first class began, Chen Siyu poked Jiang Ning in front of Geng Lu.
Geng Lu looked down and read, out of sight, out of mind.
"We don’t have to eat outside tomorrow!" Chen Siyu said happily, her smile pure as if it could spread to others.
"By the time of evening self-study, the small dining table assignments should come out. We’re surely still at the same table!"
Jiang Ning said: "If nothing unexpected happens, definitely."
Chen Siyu reminisced: "It’ll be nice to be with Tang Fu again, haven’t talked to her in a long time."
Chen Siyu missed that tall girl a bit, with her around, Chen Siyu always felt a sense of superiority.
Chai Wei in the front row heard this and grew interested, laughing: "Bai Yuxia, I calculated it, the probability of us being desk mates is still quite high."
Bai Yuxia: "We’ll see the results tonight."
Chai Wei also started looking forward to the results.
Last time they had chicken soup outside the school, the whole roomful of students were knocked out by it, except for him. Since then, Chai Wei had this inexplicable confidence in himself.
He even hoped the cafeteria would have another similar incident, where he could save Bai Yuxia heroically, what a magnificent feat that would be?
Thinking of this, Chai Wei felt a surge of pride.
Girls he used to be friends with inexplicably drifted away from him, but Chai Wei was not disappointed. After seeing roses, how could a guy like weeds?
After the bell for the second class in the morning rang, the chemistry teacher Guo Ran, holding the teaching materials, walked down the podium, and before leaving, she called out:
"Jiang Ning, come to the office."
As soon as she said this, Chai Wei’s mouth twitched.
Jiang Ning followed Guo Ran into the office.
The office was quite empty at the moment, with only Guo Ran there. She pulled a chair out for Jiang Ning to sit opposite her.
Afterward, Guo Ran, who had stood teaching the whole class, sat down gently, her body leaning slightly against the chair.
With subtle movements, the doll-collar shirt and fitted jeans unintentionally showcased her graceful waistline, slender and soft.
After sitting down, Guo Ran’s deep eyes looked over. A year of teaching had slightly reduced the youthful aura on her body, transformed into elegance and gentleness.
"The throat-soothing candies are finished?" Jiang Ning asked.
"No, can’t a teacher just have a chat with you?" Guo Ran’s voice was pleasant, speaking in a way that felt like a refreshing spring breeze.
Jiang Ning glanced around and said: "This seems like an inappropriate time, doesn’t it?"
It was currently the big break in the morning, with teachers possibly entering the office at any time, not the suitable time for heart-to-heart talks.
