Chapter 60

At noon, in the school cafeteria.

Dong Qing sat alone in a corner, wearing a pair of jeans and a gray casual top, looking fresh and clean. The gazes around her, whether intentional or not, all drifted towards her. Especially the boys, who couldn't hide their admiration.

To be known as the "Flower of the Liberal Arts," Dong Qing's beauty was naturally beyond question.

On the table in front of her, a silver tray held a serving of rice, a chicken leg, and a dish of stir-fried tomatoes and eggs... These were all the dishes she usually enjoyed, but now she was eating them reluctantly, finding them as tasteless as chewing wax.

Because, her mind kept wandering to the delicious medicinal soup.

She had eaten Lin Yihang's medicinal soup for two consecutive days over the weekend and had become addicted. How could there be such delicious food in this world?

More importantly, after eating it, she felt comfortable all over, her complexion was rosy, and she had energy all day. Dong Qing didn't know if it was a placebo effect, but she felt her skin seemed to be more radiant than before.

So delicious! Just thinking about it made her mouth water. In comparison, the food in front of her seemed like dry grass.

Just as she was thinking this, she looked up and saw a figure swaying at the serving window. Dong Qing's eyes immediately lit up. She had never thought that seeing a boy could make her so happy.

It was Lin Yihang.

Dong Qing instinctively raised her hand to wave. But just as she raised her hand, she realized it might not be appropriate. This was the school, the cafeteria, and it was lunchtime, the busiest time of the day. Waving to a boy so actively might make her seem too forward... Moreover, she had heard some rumors in the morning that she and Lin Yihang were dating. What was this all about!

Dong Qing naturally dismissed these rumors... She didn't know that the rumors outside were even worse, saying that she and Lin Yihang were living together. However, no one would say such things to her face.

Even though she dismissed the rumors, she knew that rumors could be dangerous. Her active behavior would undoubtedly lead to more speculation.

So, her raised arm froze, hesitating.

But it was too late. Lin Yihang, with his keen eyesight, immediately saw someone waving at him. He smiled and waved back.

The people around who were paying attention to Dong Qing followed her gaze. Seeing Lin Yihang's response, some immediately felt disheartened.

A single beautiful girl, even if they couldn't hold hands with her, just imagining it was satisfying.

But watching her chat and laugh with another boy... That feeling was like finding a rat droppings in your food, making you feel nauseous.

This is human nature, this is psychology. When you can't have something beautiful, you hope it remains for everyone to admire, rather than being taken away by someone else.

"Who is that guy? Why is Goddess Dong so excited to see him?" A boy with a face full of acne was unhappy. This is the classic sour grapes mentality!

The acne boy didn't know that Goddess Dong wasn't excited to see "that guy," but because she wanted to eat "that guy's" medicinal soup.

"Lin Yihang! You don't know? Don't even think about pursuing Goddess Dong, they are already living together."

"Right, I heard they go to school together and went shopping yesterday! Several people saw them."

Several voices with a sour tone.

Another school beauty being taken, as a boy from Shuncheng No. 1 High School, of course, they were all unhappy.

Ignoring their unhappiness, Lin Yihang had already brought his tray over and sat opposite Dong Qing.

"You came pretty early!" Lin Yihang started a conversation to break the silence.

"Uh-huh!" Dong Qing nodded.

"Starving, starving! Let's dig in!" Lin Yihang said, shoveling food into his mouth like a whirlwind.

Dong Qing envied Lin Yihang's appetite. Whether it was gourmet food or the cafeteria's large pot dishes, he could devour them all, making his big appetite enviable.

"I can't finish mine, I'll give you half... This side, I haven't touched it yet!" Dong Qing added.

"No problem, I don't mind your saliva." Lin Yihang smiled.

This statement had a teasing tone to it.

Dong Qing's face turned red, and she rolled her eyes. She passed the tray over, giving him two-thirds of the rice, half of the stir-fried tomatoes and eggs, and even the chicken leg.

Lin Yihang's tray was originally full, and he had already eaten more than half. Now it was just right to be filled up. He was in the body-building stage, and even a large tray wouldn't be enough to satisfy him, let alone a small one.

However, when he got his tray, the master chef and the students in line behind him kept looking at him, suspecting how many meals he had missed.

Even if Lin Yihang had a thick skin, he couldn't bring himself to get a second serving. Dong Qing giving him her food was perfect.

"Since I'm treating you to a meal, shouldn't you thank me?" Dong Qing suddenly asked.

"Uh... This counts?" Lin Yihang was taken aback.

"Of course it counts! This is the first time I've shared my food with another boy, how can it not count?" Dong Qing's face turned slightly red, and even she felt a bit embarrassed, as she had already planned to extort something from him.

"First time... Do I need to take responsibility and offer myself to you?" Lin Yihang smiled strangely.

"Get lost! You want to take responsibility, but I don't agree! Compensate me with medicinal soup tonight!" Dong Qing's true intentions were finally revealed.

"Alright! A meal for a meal, fair!" Lin Yihang knew that Dong Qing had a thin skin, and to say this much must have taken a lot of courage. He didn't want to continue joking.

After all, they were living together... okay, roommates. Lin Yihang already considered Dong Qing a friend, and treating her to a few meals of medicinal soup was manageable.

"Thanks!" Dong Qing's eyes turned into beautiful crescent moons, and her mood improved greatly.

"What are you chatting about, so happily?"

Two beautiful figures, Yang Tingting and Lu Man, each carrying a tray, came over and nodded to Dong Qing as a greeting. Without being invited, they sat down at the same table. Lu Man sat next to Lin Yihang, and Yang Tingting sat next to Dong Qing.

At the table, with three beautiful girls, Lin Yihang instantly became the envy of all the boys in the cafeteria.

"Nothing, just chatting." Dong Qing smiled. She originally wanted to stand up and leave, but seeing the hostility in Lu Man's eyes made her feel strangely uncomfortable. Leaving now would make her seem cowardly.

"Wow, you two can eat so much!" Lin Yihang looked at their full trays and exclaimed.

"You're the one who can eat, Mr. Big Stomach. I got too much, I'll give you half!"

Lu Man, without waiting for Lin Yihang's response, already passed her tray over, giving him a serving of braised pork and half of her rice.

"Me too." Yang Tingting also passed her tray over, giving him a serving of four-joy meatballs and rice.

In a blink, Lin Yihang's tray was once again piled high with food.

Lin Yihang was slightly taken aback but quickly understood. Yang Tingting and Lu Man had clearly seen his big appetite and were worried he wouldn't have enough, so they had gotten extra food for him.

He felt a warm feeling in his heart, touched. These two girls were always so supportive and considerate!

"This is the first time we've shared our food with a boy too!" Lu Man smiled at Lin Yihang.
