---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Because of Luan Qing Xiao's words, the blush on Nie Zhen'er's cheek refused to fade for quite a while.



The two had only just stepped inside the cafeteria, when Luo Xun's voice already penetrated their eardrums, "Boss! Goddess! Over here!"



Luan Qing Xiao looked toward the sound. Near the seat by the window, Luo Xun was standing on the chair, wildly swinging his arms to attract their attention.



When the surrounding people saw his shoes stepping on the seat, they all shook their heads while frowning.



Luan Qing Xiao gently nudged Nie Zhen'er in that direction and walked over together. She raised her hand to pinch Luo Xun's neck, dragging his entire body to the side.



"Boss, what are you doing?" Luo Xun asked aggrievedly.



Luan Qing Xiao's eyes hinted at the chair, "Is this something that can be stepped on, quickly go wipe it clean."



ly, it was Luan Qing Xiao who always brought Luo Xun along to break the school regulations, so this was the first time that Luan Qing Xiao scolded him. He could hardly believe what was happening, but he still took out a napkin from his pant pocket and wiped the chair he had just stepped on. He looked at Nie Zhen'er, who was standing by and smiling at them, saying, "Goddess, my boss must have been crossed over by someone. She actually is trying to teach me to take care of public facilities!"



For the first time, Nie Zhen'er was called "Goddess" so bluntly, and her face that had just cooled down heated up again. The way she was glancing at Luan Qing Xiao was filled with joy, and she whispered softly to Luo Xun, "Qing Xiao is doing this for your good."



Luo Xun smiled, "I know what Boss meant, but I'm just not used to it."



Luan Qing Xiao and Nie Zhen'er both bought their own lunches, only Luo Xun was a dorm student and needed to buy lunch at the cafeteria.



Luan Qing Xiao handed the meal card she merely used twice to Luo Xun, "There is still a lot of money in it, so you can just swipe whatever you want to eat."



"Roger that!" Luo Xun took the meal card and happily went to wait in line.



His family was well off, therefore he wasn’t the money for this meal, but the familial love.



Not only wasn’t he angry when Luan Qing Xiao scolded him just now, he was rather thrilled. Luo Xun knew only those who truly care about you will discipline you.



The moment Luo Xun was rescued and taken under her wings by Luan Qing Xiao, he had already regarded Luan Qing Xiao as his family.



Luan Qing Xiao put Nie Zhen'er's backpack in her arms, while she unzipped her bag and took out her lunch.



Although she lowered her head, her attention was on Nie Zhen'er.



She had seen Nie Zhen'er's lunch box before, and for this time’s heist, she went to the supermarket last night and searched for a long time before to find the exact same model and buying seven sets.



Nie Zhen'er put the bento on the dining table and looked at the sparkling new lunch box with a "huh".



Luan Qing Xiao turned her head naturally, asking her, "What's the matter?"



Nie Zhen'er pointed at the lunch box on the table with a bit of confusion, "I feel like my lunch box which I had for so long became new again."



"You’re probably seeing things, I don't think it looks very new. Look, there’s even scratches on the side." Nie Zhen'er's original lunch box also had an exact scratch.



"Hmm..." Nie Zhen'er stared at the scratch and couldn't comment anything else.



The brain of the top student wasn’t that easy to fool.



Luan Qing Xiao didn't care if she found out that the lunch box was changed, since she would find out anyways when she opened it. Everything’s fine as long as she doesn't know that she was the one changing the lunch box.



There was a free microwave oven in the café to heat up food. Luan Qing Xiao took the two’s lunch to heat up, and waited for Luo Xun to eat together after she returned.



Luo Xun came back after buying lunch. Once he realized Luan Qing Xiao and Nie Zhen'er were waiting for him and didn’t start first, he became even more delighted.



He returned the meal card to Luan Qing Xiao before sitting down, happily exclaiming, "Boss, Goddess, look, the food in the cafeteria today is super good. There’s fish, meat, shrimp, and desserts! Just pick what you want from it, no need to be polite!"



Luan Qing Xiao took the lead in opening the lunch box. Nie Zhen'er had eaten the food she cooked before, so she was mentally prepared. As expected, as soon as the lid was opened, the overbearing aroma overflowed from the lunch box, and the braised prawns that Luo Xun lifted to his mouth fell directly back on his tray.



"This, what is this?" Luo Xun asked after swallowing his surging saliva.



"Broiled prawns and lightly stir-fried cauliflower. Oh, also a white fungus and lotus seed soup." Luan Qing Xiao said casually.



Luo Xun lowered his head to look at the oily prawns that looked greasy and fishy in comparison. He glanced at Luan Qing Xiao, puppy-eyed, "Boss, let’s be generous. Save the poor boy who has no food."



Luan Qing Xiao laughed. This child probably hasn't eaten any delicious food since childhood, "Alright, I'll share a little with you."



When Luan Qing Xiao said a little, she meant a little; a single shrimp and one cauliflower.



When Luo Xun received the "alm", he immediately gobbled it up. He even ate the vegetables which he didn't like. It felt like he had been starved for eight lifetimes.



After eating the "relief food", Luo Xun was embarrassed to continue to ask for more. He saw there were a total of five shrimps and five cauliflowers in Luan Qing Xiao's lunch box, and if he asked for more, Luan Qing Xiao wouldn’t have anything left to eat.



Although he tried to control himself, his salivating gaze revealed how much Luo Xun wanted to eat Luan Qing Xiao's food.



Luan Qing Xiao smiled helplessly, "I’ll bring you a lunch box tomorrow. Tell me what you want to eat."



Luo Xun's eyes lit up, "Boss, no wonder you’re my boss. I love you so much, I’ll love anything you bring! I'm not a picky eater!" With his goal accomplished, although the food in front of him looked awful, Luo Xun still patiently put it in his mouth.



Nie Zhen'er was amused by Luo Xun’s antics. Luan Qing Xiao bopped her perky nose and chuckled, "Young Miss, don't just look at it, you have to eat too."



Nie Zhen'er smiled embarrassedly and slowly opened her lunch box...



"Yi?" Nie Zhen'er looked at the sweet and sour pork ribs and winter melon vermicelli soup inside the lunch box with surprise. She lowered her head and smelled it, then she glanced at Luan Qing Xiao suspiciously. When she went to Luan Qing Xiao's to do homework, Luan Qing Xiao made these two dishes for her.



The food in front of her tasted slightly off. She took a piece of sweet and sour pork rib and put it in her mouth, "A little too much vinegar, I think." It was sourer than what she had eaten that day, but it was still delicious.



"Goddess, your food also looks delicious. Boss and you must be so blessed." Luo Xun said with envy, "I don't know who can be this capable of making such delicious meals."



Nie Zhen'er smiled upon hearing the words, "Who else can be this skilled except your boss? Qing Xiao is a master of all trade, she can do everything."



"R-really? Boss, you’re like my second parent. From now on, I will stay loyal with you. I’ll do whatever you ask me to do, and I’ll never betray you! I only ask when Boss is in a good mood, make some food personally!" Luo Xun burst into tears and almost started hugging Luan Qing Xiao's thigh.



"Luo Xun, if you enter the entertainment industry, you can definitely become a film king." Luan Qing Xiao supported his temple with her hand.



When Luo Xun received the "praise", he laughed slyly and asked Nie Zhen'er, "Goddess, Your food also looks good, did you make it yourself?"



Nie Zhen'er furrowed her brows and shook her head, "I don't know. The bento I brought this morning wasn’t this." Her bento had only contained rice and pickled radishes, it was nowhere as rich and nutritious as the bento in front of her.



Luo Xun looked at Nie Zhen'er's lunch box with greedy eyes. The more he looked at it, the more familiar his eyes were. The moment Nie Zhen'er lowered her head, he winked at Luan Qing Xiao: Wasn’t this the lunch box he threw away into the sport field’s trash can? Why is it here again?



Luan Qing Xiao shook her head at him and motioned him not to speak.



Luo Xun waved his hand indifferently: Okay then.



This must be Boss' method of pursuing the goddess, Luo Xun thought secretly.
