Chapter 93

Ding! The school bell finally rang.

Qin Lang immediately assumed a sprinting stance, his whole body like an arrow about to be released, ready to dash out.

But soon, Qin Lang realized something and came to an abrupt stop. He remembered that today he wasn't going to rush for food alone but was supposed to have lunch with Luo Bin. How could he act like he was going to "grab food"?

"What are you doing?" Luo Bin couldn't help but ask.

"Reflex action!" Qin Lang chuckled. "When the bell rings, it's time to grab food."

"Then let's go together." Luo Bin actually gave Qin Lang a smile, which made Qin Lang pause. Luo Bin's smile was as beautiful as a snow lotus blooming in the snow.

"Let's go!" Luo Bin turned and dashed out of the classroom, really going to grab food!

Qin Lang didn't expect Luo Bin to have such a bold side and hurriedly followed.

Every time the noon bell rang, countless boys would flood into the school cafeteria like locusts. Qin Lang used to be one of them.

Qin Lang was really hungry. As a practitioner, Qin Lang's appetite and digestive power were naturally very strong. After a morning of classes, he was definitely starving, so rushing for food was a natural instinct.

However, Luo Bin was definitely a unique presence in this rush for food.

Many boys even glanced at Luo Bin while running, curious about this mysterious classmate.

If it were usual, Qin Lang would definitely be among the first to rush into the cafeteria. But today, because he had to consider Luo Bin's speed, by the time Qin Lang entered the cafeteria, some people had already beaten him to it. After a short wait in line, Qin Lang got a set meal and two drinks, preparing to find a place to sit. At this moment, Qin Lang noticed that all the good seats by the windows were already taken.

Qin Lang scanned the room, thinking this wouldn't do. Today was their first date with Luo Bin, and they needed to find a slightly romantic spot. Sitting among a group of ravenous eaters wouldn't give Qin Lang and Luo Bin any chance to deepen their relationship.

So, Qin Lang decided to be assertive today and walked toward a table by the window.

"Let's just find another spot. All the window seats are taken," Luo Bin said to Qin Lang.

"It's fine, they'll finish soon." As he spoke, Qin Lang was already at the table.

Two boys were occupying the table, and they were likely from the school's soccer team, as they were wearing soccer uniforms and were quite muscular. When Qin Lang approached, one of the boys glared at him, but the other boy's expression changed. He gave the other boy a look and smiled at Qin Lang, saying, "Isn't this Brother Qin? We're done eating, you can sit here."

The two boys picked up their trays and left. The boy then whispered to the other, "Did you see that? That's Qin Lang! The one who slapped Cai Shao away!"

"What! It's really him!" the other person exclaimed in shock.

"Please sit." Qin Lang placed his tray on the table.

"Brother Qin—ha, I didn't expect you to become so famous so quickly after coming to Qizhong!" Luo Bin smiled faintly and sat across from Qin Lang.

"Can't help it. You know, I was already a delinquent in kindergarten, oh, a delinquent child," Qin Lang chuckled.

Luo Bin also laughed and nodded, "Yeah, you were quite arrogant back then. I thought you had calmed down, but, ha, you're still the same as when you were a kid."

"No, actually, I'm much more low-key now," Qin Lang said seriously.

"Really, Brother Qin—" Luo Bin clearly didn't believe it. She picked up her chopsticks, took a bite of the food, and nodded, "The cafeteria food isn't bad, better than I expected."

"Really? You might be the only one who praises the cafeteria food," Qin Lang laughed. "There's only one explanation: you rarely eat the cafeteria food, right?"

"Um." Luo Bin nodded, her expression somewhat lonely, "I eat breakfast and dinner at home."

"What about lunch?"

"To be honest, you wouldn't believe it. For lunch, I eat at the dormitory building. My mom rented a room there and found a distant relative to cook lunch for me. She said the cafeteria food isn't nutritious."

"Wow, that's really nice!" Qin Lang exclaimed.

"Do you think that's nice?" Luo Bin looked at Qin Lang and asked.

"Well, you don't have to look at me like that, it's a bit intimidating," Qin Lang said. "Honestly, if someone cooked for me and I didn't have to eat the cafeteria food every day, I'd think it was pretty good. But, if you've never had cafeteria food, it seems a bit scary."

"You find it scary?" Luo Bin sighed softly, "Yeah, sometimes my mom's love makes me feel scared."

"At least, she loves you."

Qin Lang decided to change the subject because this was their first date, and it was far too early to talk about marriage. He didn't want to bring up the future mother-in-law so soon.

But at that moment, Luo Bin put down her chopsticks, her expression becoming very complex. "Qin Lang, do you think human feelings can't withstand the test of time?"

"Who says they can't?" Qin Lang patted his chest. "Our feelings can withstand it. But you've changed a bit. The 'little snot-nose' from before wasn't so sentimental."

"Then the 'Little Steel' from before wasn't so fickle either," Luo Bin winked at Qin Lang, as if telling him she had long known about all his "romantic escapades."

"Hey... I'm not fickle at all," Qin Lang laughed awkwardly.

"Flowers don't bloom in vain in youth, and that's... nothing. Besides, I'm about to leave here, I just want to know. In a few years, or even ten years, will you still remember the 'little snot-nose' who always followed you around?" Luo Bin's tone suddenly became melancholic.

Qin Lang suddenly felt the temperature around him drop, and he felt a sense of loss. He stared at Luo Bin in a daze, "What are you saying... you're leaving, where are you going, are you transferring schools?"

"Not transferring, I'm going to study in the United States. I've already received the acceptance letter," Luo Bin said.

"You're going to study in the United States?" Qin Lang felt as if he had been struck by a bolt of lightning. He couldn't believe that just a few days after their unexpected reunion, they would be separated again. And this time, Luo Bin was going to the United States, and whether they would meet again was uncertain.

At this moment, Qin Lang remembered what Tao Ruoxiang had said last night about Luo Bin having a "change." It turned out Tao Ruoxiang had known yesterday.

"This afternoon, I'm preparing to leave the school."

"So, for me, this is our last lunch?" Qin Lang, who usually had a good appetite, now found it hard to swallow.
