Chapter 55 No Lie

Chapter 55 No Lie

From a distance away from the cafeteria, Xu Mingyuan could see that the line was almost out the door.

"It's better to eat outside the school."

Xu Mingyuan sighed. High school courses were very tiring, and he came to the cafeteria to eat because he didn't want to wait.

He is also a person who follows his own will. Going out to eat is a good idea, but the round trip will take at least 40 minutes, which does not leave enough time for rest and a nap.

"Every time the teacher doesn't call you to finish school, you run to the cafeteria. So what if I make you queue up for a whole day? Come over here, stand in front of me."

Tao Shuxin looked reluctant as she grabbed Xu Mingyuan's sleeve and pulled him in front of her.

Li Cheng at the cafeteria window also saw them and shouted to them, "Xiao Yuan, come this way."

Seeing that they were all getting their meals, Xu Mingyuan wanted to go over.

"Don't jump in line!"

Tao Shuxin obviously understood what Xu Mingyuan wanted to do. Not only did she pull him hard, she also glared at him.

The classmates around looked over, wanting to see who was so uncultured.

Xu Mingyuan thought he still had some moral standards, and he felt embarrassed when he saw everyone was looking at him.

"I didn't want to cut in line, I just wanted them to order one for me," Xu Mingyuan explained.

"That's called queue jumping. It's not like you can't get a meal. Why do you have to grab those few minutes?"

Seeing that Xu Mingyuan didn't move, Tao Shuxin stopped pulling him. She stretched out two delicate index fingers and poked his back boredly.

After poking a thousand or eight hundred times, the two finally found the location of the food window.

Looking around, I saw that the cafeteria was almost full and students who arrived late had already started sharing tables.

"One serving of rice, one serving of stir-fried pork with celery, one serving of braised fish cubes, and one serving of cold shredded potatoes. Forget the shredded potatoes. I want stir-fried pork with cilantro."

Xu Mingyuan ordered the dishes, and Tao Shuxin handed him the bowl and said, "Don't leave yet, help me get a bowl of soup."

Then she started chattering and asking the cafeteria aunt for more fried tofu.

"Taotao, Taotao, there's a seat here!"

Seeing Tao Shuxin looking for a seat, Tang Lin and the others waved to her.

Tao Shuxin pretended not to see it, but her cheeks turned slightly red, and she walked away with the plate.

"Can we share a table?"

The cafeteria tables were replaced with four-person tables made of iron frames, plastic and fiberglass. Seeing that two girls occupied half of the table, Tao Shuxin asked.

The two female classmates just nodded and didn't say anything.

But when Tao Shuxin looked to the side, she saw Xu Mingyuan had already sat on the stool and picked up his chopsticks, ready to start eating.

After complaining that he was so shameless, he sat opposite him.

This year's cafeteria is not only cleaner, but the food tastes better and is very affordable. Xu Mingyuan ordered three dishes and only spent three dollars and fifty cents, while Tao Shuxin's meal cost less than two dollars.

It has to be said that Xu Mingyuan has brought benefits to the students of No. 3 Middle School. If he continues as before, I don’t know when the cafeteria will be renovated.

Of course, there will be a legend circulating in No. 3 Middle School that there was once a genius who encouraged students to smash the cafeteria and won a better future for his younger classmates.

After taking a few bites of the food, Tao Shuxin took a piece of tofu and put it on Xu Mingyuan's rice. "If I wait a little longer, can I have some hot tofu?"

Tao Shuxin spoke casually, just with his head lowered.

When Xu Mingyuan saw her pink little ears, he didn't answer, nor did he stop eating. He just stared at her until her cheeks turned red little by little.

"Come on, eat more vegetables in winter to supplement your vitamins and prevent chapped lips."

As he spoke, Xu Mingyuan put a piece of celery on her plate.

Tao Shuxin kept glancing around with his peripheral vision, and after thinking for a while, he picked up the celery and put it into his mouth.

Xu Mingyuan saw her chewing for a long time before she took a big mouthful of rice and put it into her stomach, resisting the urge to vomit.

"Don't get me wrong, I just don't want some boys to bother me."

"Oh! I understand."

Xu Mingyuan said "Oh" as if he suddenly understood something, which made Tao Shuxin lower her head even more.

Suddenly Tao Shuxin regretted doing this, and saw Xu Mingyuan constantly putting food into his plate.

"Then let's eat slowly, there's no rush." ​​Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

Tao Shuxin's eyes went dark afterwards, and she saw Xu Mingyuan put all the coriander and celery on his plate. The vegetables she hated the most since she was a child were celery and coriander, which had a strange taste. Even if her mother asked her to eat them, she would not eat a bite.

Just taking a bite of celery, she had already made a great effort.

"you do this delibrately."

Tao Shuxin came to his senses.

"No way. It's not good to let you eat more vegetables. Normally, I don't give them away when others grab the vegetables from my bowl. You can just be happy."

"You did it on purpose!"

Tao Shuxin was certain, certain, and certain that this bastard had absolutely no good intentions!

But seeing that someone would occasionally look over here, she didn't want to get angry and just put the peppers, chopped green onions and garlic in the dishes onto Xu Mingyuan's plate.

While picking up the food, he threatened with a cold look in his eyes: "You have to eat it too, don't waste it."

Xu Mingyuan didn't care about that and ate the meat and side dishes together.

Seeing that his resistance was ineffective, Tao Shuxin became anxious and began to return the celery and coriander on his plate.

Before long, the heartwarming scene turned into a war, and then intensified.

The chopsticks of the two people also changed from the initial tentative touching to a fierce fight, with the chopsticks hitting each other and making a crackling sound.

The two junior school girls nearby saw that the situation was not good, so they quickly finished their meal and left.

"you eat!"

Tao Shuxin shouted angrily.

"Hey Taotao, eat more vegetables. I don't allow you to be picky about food."

Not only was Xu Mingyuan not angry, his tone even contained a touch of touching concern.

Tao Shuxin was almost driven crazy, but Xu Mingyuan remained so calm.

The outcome of the war between the two men was now clear.

Suddenly, Xu Mingyuan stopped resisting, perhaps because he was tired. Seeing Tao Shuxin putting food on his plate, he ate it casually.

Now Tao Shuxin was happy, thinking that she had won, and a satisfied smile appeared on her lips.

"Alright, alright, stop squeezing me. Your mom is standing on the stairs, staring at you."

Xu Mingyuan smiled with glee.

I have winked at this silly girl several times, but she is still smiling foolishly.

"You're lying again."

Seeing that Xu Mingyuan did not show the necessary nervousness, Tao Shuxin glared at him in dissatisfaction.

"you sure?"

Xu Mingyuan raised his eyebrows.

Tao Shuxin was stunned. The last time he lied to her, he acted very well. Why did he change this time?

Immediately, a trace of panic emerged in Tao Shuxin's heart, and then his whole body gradually broke apart.

It seems that apart from pretending, I have never seen Xu Mingyuan nervous...

Tao Shuxin swallowed, gently hugged the hair on her cheek, and turned her head back carefully.

She didn't notice her mother was staring at her, but she became even more panicked.

She saw a figure disappearing at the stairs. The bright red down jacket seemed to be the one her mother wore in the morning.

Although Tao Shuxin was holding out for luck, the chances were slim.

The restaurant for teachers and staff is on the second floor!
"Why didn't you tell me earlier!"

Tao Shuxin didn't know what to do for a moment and could only blame Xu Mingyuan for her panic.

"I told you, but you didn't believe me."

Xu Mingyuan smiled and continued to eat with his head down, not taking it seriously.

Seeing Xu Mingyuan acting as if he had nothing to do with the matter, Tao Shuxin could no longer hide the shame and anger on her face.

It's not finished, it's finished...
