Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Why Are People Still Forcing Dog Food on Us?

Zhou Mianmian felt uncomfortable whenever she thought of Xie Xiao.

At the same time, the ordinary boys before her seemed even less appealing.

How could they compare to Xie Xiao?

It was the same with Yan Shi, who had held her hand when they went out yesterday.

That had made her feel disgusted afterward.

Xie Xiao, on the other hand, would never do such a thing, and he was much better than them, always treating her with respect.

These guys, after buying her a few meals, expected her to be their girlfriend?

On what grounds?

Even if she was feeling discontent and disdainful inside, Zhou Mianmian's face only showed embarrassment and an apologetic smile, "Can we talk about this after the college entrance exams are over?"

The boy, who had been sure he would be rejected, suddenly saw a glimmer of hope.

His eyes lit up as he said to Zhou Mianmian, somewhat excitedly, "Okay, let's talk after the exams then, I really like you a lot."

Zhou Mianmian replied, "Thank you. You're a very nice person, and thank you for the breakfast and lunch. I really enjoyed having meals with you."

"Really? Then let's have lunch together in the future?" The boy, getting carried away, blurted out without thinking.

Mianmian is really gentle!

Zhou Mianmian feigned a surprised expression, "Really? You're not eating with your classmates?"

"It's okay with them. If you like, I can always eat with you," the boy said without a second thought.

Even though there wasn't much money left on his meal card, it didn't matter; for his goddess, he could do it.

And he couldn't always be the one paying, right?

A girl as gentle and considerate as Mianmian definitely wasn't materialistic!

Zhou Mianmian smiled, "Okay, then let's have lunch together again tomorrow."

Meanwhile, Xie Xiao had already arrived at the Huaqing Building.

In fact, the Huaqing Building was its original name, but because the repeater classes were always there, everyone called it the repeater's building.

Xie Xiao saw Lin Yu at the bottom of the building.

Lin Yu was looking at the object in his hand with a speechless expression, "A hot water bag? Is it the middle of winter or something?"

Xie Xiao ignored him, "Shall we go up?"

"Could just call that Hai Ou, isn't Liu Ou senior coming down to pick it up fine?" Lin Yu was reluctant to climb the stairs; it was exhausting.

But Xie Xiao still wanted to go up and see Luo Yanran, so he dragged him by the arm, "Think about it, what if Liu Ou senior doesn't want it? You can just toss it onto her desk if she refuses at the classroom door right, they sit by the window."

Lin Yu was speechless, "Do I look like an idiot?"

Xie Xiao said sincerely, "Not at all, but you could be one."

Lin Yu: My fists are hardening.

He couldn't help retorting, "I wonder who just said that a young girl needs someone to accompany her."

"Yeah, I need someone to accompany me to see the young girl," Xie Xiao stated without any hint of guilt.

Lin Yu gave up arguing.

When the two finally saw Luo Yanran and Liu Ou, they were tidying up their desks, probably just having finished their meal.

There were only a few scattered people left in the class; most had gone to lunch and had not yet returned.

Luo Yanran's face didn't look too good. She paused when she saw Xie Xiao, "Why are you here?"

Xie Xiao pointed to Lin Yu beside him, "Accompanying him to return some money."

Lin Yu: ...

He stuffed the bag he was holding through the window, "Liu Ou senior, here's your snack."

Luo Yanran felt a twinge of disappointment.

Liu Ou had just told her she had run into Xie Xiao in the cafeteria, who seemed in a hurry when he knew she wasn't feeling well, so when she first saw Xie Xiao, she had thought he had come to see her...

She felt uncomfortable inside,

Seeing the large bag of snacks, Liu Ou was stunned, "Wait, you got this much for thirty yuan?"

"Ah, they're nearing their expiration date, but I think they're a good deal. Although they are near expiration, there's still a month and a half left," Lin Yu said earnestly.

The other three cast their gaze toward him in unison.

Xie Xiao: ?????

He had just thought the bag was ridiculously large! Searᴄh the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

But he was in such a rush to get up here, mainly because he hadn't expected Lin Yu to be this outrageous, had he?

He slapped his hand on Lin Yu's wrist as he was about to pull it back.

Forcing a smile, he said, "He's joking. This is for us to eat. We took the wrong bag for Senior Liu Ou. I'll bring hers over later."

Lin Yu gave an "ah" and wanted to speak but Xie Xiao stomped hard on his foot.

He cursed under his breath.

Liu Ou came to her senses and laughed, grabbing the big bag of snacks and glancing inside, "There are quite a few I like, thanks."

Xie Xiao felt there was still a chance to salvage the situation, "No, Senior..."

Lin Yu seemed to finally grasp what Xie Xiao meant; did he think it really didn't matter, but that it wasn't nice to give such things to a girl?

So he clicked his tongue and said, "We really took the wrong one, sorry about that. I was just kidding earlier."

But Liu Ou said, "It's quite far. Just take this. If you guys eat the other one, that's fine."

She smiled at Lin Yu, "Next time you get a deal like this, let me know, huh? Thirty yuan for such a big bag."

Lin Yu glanced at her without noticing any look of disdain and turned his gaze away, somewhat unnaturally.

Xie Xiao sighed.

Thank goodness Liu Ou was a very tolerant person.

Lin Yu was used to living with his grandmother, an old lady and a child—how good could their past life have been?

Some things are really hard to change in a short time.

He glanced at Lin Yu, who had just realized what was happening and looked a bit uncomfortable.

Xie Xiao quickly placed the items on Luo Yanran's desk, "I bought these for you. This hot water bottle needs to be filled with water. You can refill it when it cools down or ask a classmate to help. And these brown sugar drinks, one with ginger and one without..."

Luo Yanran looked at the items on the desk, and a smile appeared in her eyes. She couldn't help but say, "Didn't you say you were accompanying Lin Yu?"

Clearly, these were prepared for her.

Her previously downcast mood suddenly soared.

Xie Xiao laughed, "Just by the way. I'm with him, and he's with me."

"Damn, you make it sound like we're a couple of girls going to the bathroom together," Lin Yu couldn't help but retort.

Liu Ou and Luo Yanran both laughed because of his comment.

Xie Xiao was speechless, "Can't you keep your mouth shut? This was supposed to be..."

Romantic, right?

Why does it sound so off when it comes from your mouth?

Xie Xiao sighed. Well, no need to flirt anymore.

The atmosphere was gone.

He looked at Luo Yanran, who was still laughing, looking really beautiful.

Liu Ou handed each of them a candy, "Enough, you guys, there will be more people around soon."

She glanced at Xie Xiao. "Also, stop disturbing someone's girlish heart with deliveries during class~"

Luo Yanran reached out, somewhat annoyed, and hit her, "Liu Ou. What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Whether I'm talking nonsense, you know yourself~" Liu Ou stretched out her words smilingly.

Luo Yanran's face turned slightly red, and she didn't dare to look at Xie Xiao, "You guys should head back."

"Okay," Xie Xiao responded and finally reached out and touched her head, "Consider it a reward. You don't want to touch me, so a touch from me isn't excessive, right?"

His voice was filled with laughter, "Rest well."

Lin Yu and Liu Ou to the side: ...why is there still someone forcing down dog food?
