Chapter 6

"Ha ha, I didn't expect that we would be in the same school. If I had known, I should have asked you on the bus, and we could have come together, saving you the cost of a ride."

Wang Qingqing said with a hint of regret on her face.

Her uncle had picked her up from the train station and dropped her off on the way. Her uncle's car was a minivan, and one more person wouldn't have been a problem at all.

"Ha ha."

Upon hearing Wang Qingqing's words, Xiao Yi just chuckled and didn't say anything. Even if he had asked and gotten to know her back then, he wouldn't have come with her. He had to go to Chen Jianguo first to get his admission notice.

"By the way, have you eaten yet?"

Wang Qingqing suddenly remembered something and looked up to ask Xiao Yi.

"Not yet."

Xiao Yi shook his head.

"Perfect, neither have I. I was just about to go eat. Let's go together. I'll treat you to lunch today to thank you for helping me twice."

Wang Qingqing said happily.

"Alright."

Xiao Yi, seeing Wang Qingqing's happy face, felt a bit embarrassed to refuse. He hadn't registered yet, and his meal card hadn't been issued. He didn't plan to eat anyway; for him, skipping a meal or two was no big deal.

"Let's go to the second canteen."

Wang Qingqing, seeing Xiao Yi agree so readily, became even happier. She grabbed Xiao Yi's hand and started walking forward. But after just a moment, she realized her indiscretion and quickly let go, blushing, and lowered her head as she walked ahead.

Xiao Yi didn't think much of Wang Qingqing suddenly grabbing his hand. However, when he saw her walk ahead with her head down and rapid breathing, he was a bit taken aback. Why did Wang Qingqing like to walk with her head down so much? No wonder she had bumped into him earlier.

Thinking this, he took on the role of a guide, stepping in front of Wang Qingqing when there were obstacles to ensure she walked more safely.

Actually, his concern was unnecessary. After a few steps, Wang Qingqing glanced at Xiao Yi and saw that his expression was normal. Her mood gradually calmed, and she paid more attention to the path ahead, no longer bumping into people. Her collision with him earlier was entirely due to her panic.

However, feeling Xiao Yi's subtle guidance, she felt a sweet sensation in her heart.

Z University's second canteen is located between the library and the north gate, close to many teaching buildings. It is the most popular canteen on campus, with three floors. The first floor is the common canteen, where the food is relatively cheap. The third floor is the upscale canteen, with all dishes stir-fried on the spot, similar to a restaurant, where students order and the food is cooked immediately. The second floor is the middle-tier canteen, with dishes called "small stir-fries," but they are actually cooked in large pots. However, the food here is generally served hot. Wang Qingqing led Xiao Yi to the second floor of the canteen, found a seat, and asked him to wait while she went to the counter to get the food.

"By the way, what do you want to eat?"

Just before reaching the counter, Wang Qingqing realized she had forgotten to ask Xiao Yi what he wanted and quickly turned back to ask him.

"Anything is fine. You can just pick something for me."

Xiao Yi said casually.

"Okay, I'll pick something for you, but don't blame me if you don't like it."

Wang Qingqing didn't say more, smiled, and returned to the counter.

Soon, Wang Qingqing returned with a full tray and placed it in front of Xiao Yi, smiling. "Do you like these?"

"Sure, ha ha."

Xiao Yi glanced at the two dishes on the tray, picked up the one with more vegetables, and placed it in front of him.

Compared to the raw meat and blood he had consumed in the African jungle, the food on the tray was like the best delicacy in the world.

"This one is for you. You're so thin, you should eat more. I'm on a diet, eating only vegetables, so don't try to take it from me."

Wang Qingqing, surprised that Xiao Yi had chosen the one with more vegetables, quickly took it back and handed him the other dish, which was all meat.

"..."

Xiao Yi looked at Wang Qingqing again and was speechless. She was already so thin, yet she was still dieting.

However, since she had said that, he didn't want to argue. He didn't mind eating meat anyway.

A few people nearby, seeing Xiao Yi sitting with Wang Qingqing, couldn't help but look at him with envy, especially the boys who overheard their conversation. Their eyes were filled with both admiration and jealousy.

At first, seeing Xiao Yi enter the canteen with Wang Qingqing, who was beautiful, tall, and exuded a youthful aura in her shirt and jeans, they were already filled with jealousy. Now, seeing Wang Qingqing doting on Xiao Yi, serving him like a gentleman, and being so considerate, they couldn't help but curse in their hearts, "What a despicable, shameless小白脸 (pretty boy)!"

All the good girls are taken by pigs!

The boys were shouting in their hearts.

Xiao Yi didn't pay much attention to the gazes of the boys around him. From the moment he entered the canteen, he had felt their stares. To him, these students were just kids.

He picked up his chopsticks, smiled at Wang Qingqing, and began to eat slowly and leisurely.

"Jin Shao, look, isn't that Wang Qingqing?"

At the entrance of the canteen, a boy wearing a plaid shirt, who looked rather unsavory, glanced casually at the second floor and saw Wang Qingqing and Xiao Yi. He was taken aback and immediately turned to a handsome young man standing beside him.

"Huh? Where?"

The handsome young man, Jin Shao, was about to go to the third floor, but upon hearing the boy's words, his face lit up. He stopped and turned to ask.

"Over there, sitting with that guy. Is it her?"

The boy in the plaid shirt quickly pointed in the direction of Xiao Yi and Wang Qingqing's table.

"Who is that guy sitting across from Qingqing?"

Jin Shao followed the boy's finger and his face immediately darkened.

Wang Qingqing was the girl he was currently infatuated with. He recognized her at once. Seeing her, he was overjoyed and decided to change his mind and go to the second floor to eat with her. But then he saw that a guy was sitting across from her, and she was looking at him with affection?

His joy vanished instantly.

Instead, his anger surged.

In this school, Wang Qingqing was his Jin Shao's dish. Who was this guy, and how dare he try to date his girl?

He secretly vowed to give this guy a harsh lesson, to teach him the consequences of competing with him for a girl!
