Dan Xiao was content, his efforts during lunch were not in vain.
And you know, earning a reward fairly through skills felt unexpectedly good.
Still, Dan Xiao humbly said, "It was just a little effort, no trouble at all."
Wang Longlong remarked, "I have to treat you, otherwise I won’t feel right."
Cui Yu added, "Walk with me and Brother Long after school."
...
As noon recess began, the students packed up their things to go out for lunch, their moods cheerful and relaxed.
There were only two classes in the afternoon before the weekend break.
And next week, the school was fully preparing for its sixtieth-anniversary celebration, so one could easily guess it would be a wonderful week.
The following week would host the anniversary celebration and sports day, immediately followed by a three-day vacation for Labor Day.
The students could enjoy a fun half-month.
Lu Qiqi hadn’t moved; she had changed into new clothes, planning to go to the ES restaurant for lunch with a senior from the second year.
The restaurant recently introduced original chicken cutlets and various desserts, along with delicious freshly-squeezed juices.
ES restaurant was expensive, costing fifty to one hundred per visit, but Lu Qiqi didn’t mind since she wasn’t the one paying.
Lu Qiqi tidied her hairstyle. She hadn’t washed her hair in three days. After all, being a girl with long hair, washing it was burdensome and time-consuming, so she generally washed it every three days.
She was supposed to wash it today but had woken up late in the morning and didn’t have time.
She touched her hair, feeling it was oily.
But she wasn’t sure.
Generally speaking, even if a girl’s hair is oily, boys may not notice.
Just in case, Lu Qiqi turned to look at Ma Shicheng behind her.
Actually, Ma Shicheng was already at the classroom door.
She called out, "Ma Shicheng, my hair isn’t oily, right?"
Ma Shicheng glanced back and replied,
"It’s a bit shiny, can’t really tell."
Lu Qiqi: "???"
After speaking, Ma Shicheng left the classroom.
This left Lu Qiqi in doubt, 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝓬ℴ𝓶
’My hair can’t really be oily, can it? Should I go back to my rental and wash it?’
Lu Qiqi fiddled with her hair again and touched up to her cap. She touched it several times, her mouth open and eyes wide:
"Why is my hat half wet?"
...
Jiang Ning led the way with his mountain bike, and Xue Yuantong followed behind with small steps, occasionally jogging to keep up.
The sunshine was bright, making everyone glow.
Even though they had intentionally left a few minutes late, the school gate was still crowded with snack stands and students. Approaching there, Xue Yuantong firmly grasped the mountain bike to avoid getting separated from Jiang Ning.
Walking through the noisy crowd, amidst the aroma of various snacks, Xue Yuantong’s mouth watered.
They continued forward, crossing the congested road, and as they approached the intersection, the snack stands gradually thinned out.
Xue Yuantong forgot to let go of her grip on the mountain bike. She looked at the shops on both sides:
"Jiang Ning, do you remember the night we played the guessing game with the blocks?"
"I do, you lost."
"Yeah, I still owe you a small cake, let me buy you one," Xue Yuantong patted her chest, showing she was a person who kept her promises.
Jiang Ning figured out her little scheme.
Clearly, it was Xue Yuantong who wanted to eat.
"Let’s owe it for now, we’ll buy it later," Jiang Ning said.
"No way, what do you think I, Xue Yuantong, am? I said I’d buy it for you, so I will!" Xue Yuantong declared.
"Well, alright then," Jiang Ning led her into a dessert shop on the street.
The dessert shop was freshly decorated, seemingly just opened.
A young and pretty female employee greeted them with a smile.
"Hello, we have coconut gel, egg tarts, toast, and various fruit cakes for you to look at."
Jiang Ning stood in front of the cake display case.
The employee introduced, "These are freshly made cakes, made with animal cream, very tasty, and sold as soon as they are made."
Xue Yuantong mentioned, "Strawberry tastes good."
Jiang Ning requested, "Strawberry bento box cake."
"Okay," the employee packaged it.
Xue Yuantong added, "You know, cake goes well with coconut gel."
Jiang Ning ignored her, waiting for the employee to pack.
Xue Yuantong went to check the coconut gels, then came back and told Jiang Ning,
"The best is the mango coconut gel."
Jiang Ning told the employee, "One mango coconut gel, please."
After everything was ready, Jiang Ning paid the bill, fifteen for the cake and ten for the coconut gel.
Exiting the cake shop, Xue Yuantong holding the bag, knowingly asked,
"Jiang Ning, how did you know I like to eat this?"
