Psst! We're moving!
This is the original line.
After Xie Ye just swiped his card, he directly told her to leave without finishing her noodles.
Chi Zhiyu was taken aback and frowned, asking, “Then what am I going to eat?”
Xie Ye, holding his meal card, glanced at her with a hint of disdain in his eyes. His demeanor was extremely arrogant.
It was as if he was saying:
— With me, Big Brother Ye around, how could you starve?
“......”
Chi Zhiyu understood.
She nodded and pointed to the noodles in her bowl, “What should I do with this?”
Xie Ye: “Throw it away.”
Chi Zhiyu wasn’t someone who would waste food, so she immediately refused and chose to let him eat it instead.
“What’s there to eat?” Xie Ye gave her a sidelong glance, “Are you tired of eating well on a regular basis?”
Chi Zhiyu argued with him, “It’s such a waste.”
“You want to be some kind of saint,” Xie Ye sneered, “It’s too late for robbing the rich to feed the poor.”
“......”
Realizing that he was mocking her, Chi Zhiyu was speechless, “Don’t you know that small things add up? Kindness connects us all, understand?”
Xie Ye snorted.
“So what do we do now?” Chi Zhiyu analyzed the situation, “You’re not eating, and neither am I.”
Hearing this, Xie Ye glanced over and quickly concluded, “Give it to Li Taoran.”
“......”
After two seconds of silence, Chi Zhiyu nodded, “Alright.”
Xie Ye: “......”
“I can’t.”
Li Taoran started complaining as he looked at the plain noodle soup in front of him, “Call Xie Ye here, I’ll pour it down his throat!”
Su Le raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, “Do you really have the guts to do that?”
“Is that the point?!” Li Taoran glared, “He’s looking down on me! Do I look like someone who eats plain noodle soup?”
Su Le glanced at him, “...... Don’t you eat it often?”
“......” Li Taoran paused, “That’s different, I did it voluntarily!”
“Brother Li, don’t worry,” Chi Zhiyu had already anticipated his reaction and quickly interjected, “I didn’t mean for you to eat it. I just think wasting food is bad, and I was joking with you.”
Li Taoran didn’t buy it and waved her off, “It’s alright, Sister Chi. I know what kind of dog Xie Ye is. You don’t need to explain for him, I understand.”
Hearing this, Chi Zhiyu found it amusing, “Do you really understand?”
“Of course, of course.” Li Taoran sighed, “After all, I’ve been Xie Ye’s desk mate for two years. This is child’s play.”
“Brother Li is so strong, do you have any advice to pass on to me?” Chi Zhiyu began fishing for information.
“What kind of advice?” Li Taoran suddenly realized something, blinked, and asked her, “Are you Xie Ye’s desk mate now?”
Chi Zhiyu helplessly nodded.
“Holy crap! You two are actually desk mates!”
Seeing this, Li Taoran excitedly slapped Su Le’s thigh next to him.
Su Le felt the pain and cursed, “Are you fucking crazy?”
Li Taoran ignored him and looked at Chi Zhiyu to confirm, “You’re really desk mates?”
“Why would I lie to you?” Chi Zhiyu asked again, “So, Brother Li, do you want to share some experience?”
“Sure, I’ll share it, oh wait,” Li Taoran turned his head to look at her, “In terms of experience, shouldn’t you be more experienced than me? You’ve known Xie Ye for so many years.”
“Knowing someone isn’t the same as being desk mates, it’s not the same.”
After saying this, Chi Zhiyu felt a bit hungry and picked up her chopsticks, preparing to eat some noodles.
Suddenly, someone approached from the side. Chi Zhiyu caught a glimpse out of the corner of her eye, turned her head while holding her chopsticks.
Opposite them, Su Le and Li Taoran looked up, “Oh, here he comes.”
Xie Ye walked over with his tray of dishes, glanced at her, “What are you eating randomly?”
Chi Zhiyu put on an innocent face, “Noodles.”
Xie Ye frowned slightly, “What’s there to eat in that?”
Chi Zhiyu licked her lips, “I’m hungry. If you don’t come soon, I’ll starve to death.”
“Don’t you know that big appetites get hungry earlier?” Xie Ye placed the tray in front of her.
Chi Zhiyu clicked her tongue, lowered her head, and saw that the dishes he ordered were all ones she usually ate. Her lips curved silently into a smile. She picked up the tray and stood up, addressing the group, “You guys eat. I’m leaving.”
Su Le saw this, “Aren’t you eating together?”
“No, Wu Xuan is waiting for me upstairs to eat together.” Chi Zhiyu explained and looked at the bowl of noodles, “You guys deal with this.”
Chi Zhiyu: “Wasting food is shameful.”
The last four words were directed at Xie Ye.
Upon hearing this, Xie Ye tugged at his lips, too lazy to respond.
And the occasional glances from around them gradually disappeared after Chi Zhiyu left.
Su Le clearly noticed the change in attention and raised an eyebrow.
No wonder these people were so curious.
Because they weren’t in the same class before, Chi Zhiyu and Xie Ye rarely met at school, and naturally wouldn’t eat lunch together.
Apart from occasionally bumping into each other, their joint appearances at school were few.
So unless one paid close attention to both of them, most people wouldn’t think that they knew each other.
After all, one was a legendary cold-hearted big shot, and the other was a beautiful dance art student.
And today, suddenly appearing together for a meal naturally attracted attention.
It was completely unexpected and too eye-catching.
Li Taoran didn’t pay much attention to the glances. After seeing Chi Zhiyu leave, he hurriedly asked Xie Ye, “You and Sister Chi are desk mates?”
Xie Ye lazily hummed in response.
Seeing this, Li Taoran said, “Tsk, it’s actually true.”
Xie Ye raised his eyebrows to look at him, “Do you think it’s fake?”
“Don’t think nonsense.” Li Taoran explained, “I just feel sorry for Sister Chi having to sit next to you.”
Xie Ye calmly replied, “Do you need to worry about that?”
Li Taoran tsked, “I’m just concerned about Sister Chi.”
“You’re so idle,” Xie Ye calmly looked at him, “It must be hard for you to care about her.”
“......” Li Taoran glared, “Let me tell you, with your attitude and treatment of people, Sister Chi might not even want you as her desk mate!”
“Oh.” Xie Ye glanced at him, “You seem to know quite a lot.”
“......”
Su Le couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing, “Come on, Xie Ye, can’t you speak properly? Isn’t it nice to have Sister Chi sitting next to you?”
“That’s right.” Li Taoran seized the opportunity to ask, “Sister Chi sitting next to you, aren’t you happy?”
Xie Ye didn’t speak, casually placing the bowl of plain noodle soup next to his tray.
Not hearing a response, but Li Taoran seemed to understand and nodded knowingly, “Sister Chi has such a good personality, she’s beautiful, and she’s still your childhood friend. It would be a problem if you weren’t happy. If it were me, I’d be ecstatic.”
Xie Ye glanced at him, “What does it have to do with you?”
Li Taoran was displeased, “If I put a stranger next to you as your desk mate, would you be happy?”
“Of course not.” Su Le spoke for Li Taoran, “It would be impressive if he didn’t嫌弃 them.”
“You two,” Xie Ye laughed, “are pretty good at telling jokes.”
“......”
Su Le: “He should be pretty happy.”
Su Le glanced at the bowl of plain noodle soup that Chi Zhiyu had taken away, implying, “He even bought her noodles.”
“Huh?” Li Taoran didn’t understand, “What’s so special about buying noodles? Is that what makes him happy?”
“......”
Su Le glanced at him, “Never mind, just shut up.”
“? “
Li Taoran: “What did I do wrong again?”
Su Le and Xie Ye both ignored him and picked up their chopsticks to eat.
“Not fair.” Li Taoran felt excluded, “What’s wrong with you guys?”
Seeing no one responded, Li Taoran muttered a few words quietly and started eating too. But after a few bites, he suddenly turned to Xie Ye.
“Why did you buy noodles for Sister Chi out of the blue?”
“......”
After the first day of school, nothing much happened.
After classes ended in the afternoon, the bell rang signaling dismissal. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, it was Chi Zhiyu’s turn to clean up on the first day.
When the hygiene committee announced the cleaning schedule, Chi Zhiyu clicked her tongue in annoyance.
Frowning, she confirmed with the hygiene committee once more, “I’m cleaning today?”
The hygiene committee member, looking at her cold eyes, hesitated for a moment, “Yes.”
Chi Zhiyu remained silent for a few seconds, “Then what do I need to do?”
“Just sweep the floor.”
“With whom?”
“Lin... Lin Jie.” The hygiene committee member stumbled over the name.
Chi Zhiyu, upon hearing this, raised a question, “Who’s Lin Lin Jie?”
“...... No.” The hygiene committee member corrected her, “It’s Lin Jie.”
What a mess.
Chi Zhiyu frowned, about to ask, when Lin Jie, who had been listening nearby, turned around and said quietly, “It’s me. My name is Lin Jie, and I’m in the same group to sweep the floor with you.”
Chi Zhiyu raised an eyebrow, “Oh, it’s you.”
Lin Jie nodded. Chi Zhiyu looked at his expression and chuckled, “Alright, let’s go. Let’s finish sweeping early and go home.”
Lin Jie quickly agreed and got up to follow her and sweep the floor.
The brooms were in the back corner of the classroom. Chi Zhiyu walked slowly towards the back, and Lin Jie reached there first, handing her a broom.
Chi Zhiyu took it and thanked him. Remembering the events of the morning, she chuckled softly, “Your desk mate, Su Le, isn’t some gangster. He just looks fierce; you don’t need to be afraid of him.”
“I know.” Lin Jie scratched his head shyly, “I misunderstood him before.”
Chi Zhiyu raised an eyebrow, curiously asking, “So why do you think Xie Ye seems kinder and more approachable?”
Unexpectedly asked this question, Lin Jie paused, hesitantly replying, “Well... he looks quite kind.”
“Looks?” Chi Zhiyu raised an eyebrow, “Isn’t he the picture of a bad boy?”
“......?”
Seeing his embarrassed expression, Chi Zhiyu chuckled, “Just teasing you. Let’s sweep.”
With that, the two separated to sweep their respective areas.
Lin Jie worked quickly and finished sweeping soon. Chi Zhiyu originally intended to drag her feet slowly, but seeing how fast he was, she didn’t delay and diligently swept as well.
In less than five minutes, they finished sweeping and mopping the floor.
Finally, Chi Zhiyu, with her backpack on, went downstairs with Lin Jie to throw away the trash. Seeing that there was still time, she casually said goodbye to Lin Jie and leisurely went to the supermarket to buy a bottle of water before heading to the basketball court.
The campus of Yi Gao Affiliated High School was vast. The scale of the teaching buildings and library fully met the expectations of parents, but the playground and outdoor sports fields alone occupied half of the total area.
The outdoor basketball courts were also divided into many sections, spread across two levels, with three courts on each level.
Now that school was out, basically every court had groups of boys playing basketball, while girls chatted or watched under the hoops.
Chi Zhiyu didn’t often come to the basketball court because the sun was too strong, and the UV radiation was intense. She couldn’t afford to tan.
So, to protect her skin, she covered her head and lower face with her school uniform, quickly heading to the shaded court on the second floor.
As she approached.
Wu Xuan, sitting under the hoop, spotted her first and waved, “Here.”
Chi Zhiyu quickly walked over, and Wu Xuan gestured for her to sit in the largest shaded area.
Chi Zhiyu glanced at the school uniform occupying the spot, “Whose is this?”
“It’s Xie Ye’s. Take it and sit down.”
“Oh.” Hearing the name, Chi Zhiyu picked it up and sat down.
At this moment, there was a break in the game on the court behind them.
Xie Ye, catching his breath and preparing to leave the court, had a teammate talking to him about the recent game. Glancing forward, the teammate raised an eyebrow and patted his shoulder, “Hey Xie Ye, someone’s sitting on your precious spot where you keep your uniform.”
Hearing this, Xie Ye raised his eyes and looked forward.
The teammate waited a few seconds, expecting him to be annoyed, but surprisingly, Xie Ye didn’t say a word.
This was a bit strange.
Confused, he turned his head to see who it was, only to catch a glimpse of someone wrapped in a school uniform, revealing only their eyes.
“Yo, it’s a girl.” The teammate raised an eyebrow.
Xie Ye didn’t even lift his eyelids, lightly bouncing the ball in one hand.
Seeing this, the teammate sensed something was off and looked at Xie Ye with a suggestive smirk, “What’s going on with you, girlfriend?”
The teammate glanced a few more times at the slender figure, saying mischievously, “She seems pretty cute. So is this yours? If not, I might—”
Before he could finish.
Xie Ye tilted the ball slightly, and it instantly hit the teammate’s toes.
The teammate froze for a moment.
Xie Ye raised his eyes, his expression relaxed yet exuding cold detachment, as if he hadn’t understood what the teammate said. After staring at him for a few seconds, he suddenly smiled faintly.
“What were you going to do?”
