Chapter 15 – Meng Yuran’s expression blackened (3)
Having not slept well, she woke up with a headache the next day. After she had finished cooking breakfast, the two siblings came downstairs.
Meng Yuran’s gaze lingered on the black circles under her eyes, then he nonchalantly looked away.
“You don’t need to bring me lunch today.”
Seeing her appearance, he guessed that she was very upset by last night’s news and wouldn’t be in the mood to cook for him.
Lin Yiyi had just tugged Meng Shanshan’s hand to have her sit down. Hearing this, she immediately vetoed his suggestion. “How could I do that? You’ll be graduating in two months. I have to take good care of you during this time. The food at the cafeteria won’t be as healthy and nutritious as homemade food.”
Meng Yuran lowered his head and brought a piece of toast to his mouth. He vaguely said, “Do whatever you want.”
When she wasn’t looking, he curved up his lips. He was obviously in a good mood.
Noticing that someone’s gaze was on him, he looked up and saw that his younger sister was looking at him in astonishment. Pressing his lips together, he put away that faint smile.
Just like yesterday, after dropping off the two kids at school, Lin Yiyi went to the market and bought many ingredients.
Right now, these two children were in their development period. During this time, they needed nutritious food the most. Not only did she need to cook tasty food, she had to pay attention to their nutritious content. Thus, she cooked red braised pork and sweet and sour fish in squirrel shape, then yellow tofu with crab meat, stir fried greens with wood ear mushroom, and stewed duck soup for Meng Yuran’s lunch.
VCFM – 015 – stir fried greens with wood ear mushroom.jpgWhen she went over to deliver lunch again, almost all of the six graders recognized her as Meng Yuran’s mother.
Beauty was genetic. Meng Yuran looked good, and his mother was beautiful too. Not only was she pretty, she looked outrageously young. She didn’t look as if she was the same age as the other sixth graders’ parents. If someone were to say she was Meng Yuran’s older sister, there would be believers!
She had a beautiful face and seemed like a gentle person. She even came here to deliver lunch for Meng Yuran. How could there be such a wonderful mother?
Under the envious stares of his classmates, Meng Yuran accepted the heavy lunch box from his mother.
Although there was a small amount of smugness in his heart, there was no change on his face.
After sending his mom off, he went to the canteen and found a spot to sit down. Right after sitting down, Xu Jie came over with two friends.
Although they had only seen him briefly open the food box to take a look, the food’s scent had floated out and overbearingly burrowed into their noses and incessantly tempted them.
One of his classmates, who still had a bit of baby fat on his face, unhappily said, “Hey, Meng Yuran, you’re being unfair. Don’t you know that if you eat alone, you’ll become an outcast?” It was only that his gaze was fixated on Meng Yuran’s lunch box. If he could, he would poke holes in that lunch box with his eyes so that he could see what was inside.
Meng Yuran: “…”
Xu Jie exaggeratedly bumped his arm against his. “I already discovered yesterday that aunty’s cooking is especially good. This smells so much better than the cafeteria food. Seeing your lunch, I don’t have the appetite to eat my own food.”
Meng Yuran: “…”
Why were there so many shameless people?
A somewhat handsome boy said at last, “I heard your earlier conversation with your mom. Your mom told you to share your lunch with your classmates, and you said you would.”
Meng Yuran’s expression blackened.
