When Li Zixia and Xie Yingying heard Xue Xi’s words, they looked at each other and said in unison, “Okay!”


  Although they did not know where Sister Xi’s confidence came from, since Sister Xi had said it, she could definitely do it.

  The three of them left the activity room when it was already time for dinner. Li Zixia suggested, “Let’s go to the third canteen for dinner today! It’s near here and it’s said that the special dish there is braised pork. It’s especially delicious!”


  Huaxia University was huge. There were seven to eight canteens alone. The places where they usually attended classes and their accommodations were close to the first canteen, so they had been eating in that canteen.

  The third canteen was near the activity room and was very famous in Huaxia University.

  Xue Xi and Xie Yingying nodded at Li Zixia’s suggestion and rushed to the third canteen.

  The canteen here was slightly smaller, but it was a little more expensive than the first canteen. However, the three of them did not care about this bit of money, so they were still very happy.

  They held their plates and queued up to get rice and vegetables. Li Zixia was from the capital and even took a bun. She was still nagging. “You people from the south just want to eat rice three times a day, right? I want to eat steamed buns and porridge tonight. Otherwise, I’ll feel so choked.”


  Xie Yingying said, “We only eat porridge in the morning. I’m not used to eating buns. Moreover, I think buns will make me grow fat.”


  “That’s true. Xie Yingying, your face has become rounder than before!”


  Xie Yingying: “?”


  She instantly started fooling around with Li Zixia. Xue Xi looked at the two of them and smiled dotingly.

  The three of them chatted and laughed. Soon, they reached the window where they could eat braised pork.

  Li Zixia paid while Xie Yingying followed.

  When it was Xue Xi’s turn, she passed the tray over and placed the meal card on the card dispenser. “One serving of braised pork. Thank you.”


  The people who were serving in the third canteen was not an auntie, but a few young people. Some of them were students who worked part-time while studying in the school, and there were also a few who had dropped out of school to work.

  The person who was serving the braised pork was a simple and honest-looking boy who revealed his white teeth when he smiled. When he heard Xue Xi’s voice, he looked up and was instantly stunned.

  His eyes were fixed on Xue Xi.

  Xue Xi: “?”


  Li Zixia reminded him, “Hey, are you dumbstruck? My Sister Xi wants braised pork!”


  The boy returned to his senses and his face turned red. He picked up a spoonful of braised pork and placed it on Xue Xi’s plate.

  Coincidentally, as he was scooping the braised pork, his hand accidentally touched the back of Xue Xi’s hand, which was holding the plate.

  Xue Xi’s face darkened.

  The man was shocked and his face turned even redder. He apologized, “Sorry, sorry……”


  Seeing him like this, although Xue Xi felt uncomfortable, she still nodded slightly and did not say anything. She carried the plate and walked out.

  “Sister Xi, your weight is too heavy!”


  “That’s right, Sister Xi. Look at mine. They’re all potatoes. There are only two pieces of braised pork. Look at yours. They’re all braised pork!”


  Li Zixia and Xie Yingying joked as the three of them found seats and sat down to eat.

  Xue Xi ignored the two of them. However, when she gave each of them two pieces of her braised pork, the two of them immediately shut up. Li Zixia even chuckled. “There’s meat to eat if you follow Sister Xi!”


  Xie Yingying sighed. “In this day and age, good-looking people are popular everywhere!”


  Xue Xi glanced at her and commented, “You’re quite good-looking too.”


  Xie Yingying: “?”


  She touched her round face. “Sister Xi, do I really look good?”


  Xue Xi: “Mhm, looks like you’re blessed.”


  Xie Yingying: “!!!!”


  The three of them chatted as they ate. Halfway through, a figure suddenly appeared beside them. The young lad who was a server was rubbing his hands as he nervously stood at the side and looked at them. “M-Miss, can I add you on WeChat?”


  Xue Xi: “?”


  Li Zixia: “?”


  Xie Yingying: “?”


  The three of them paused and turned to look at that person.

  The person who was serving the food scratched his head. He was still wearing the white clothes that the canteen staff should be wearing. He raised his phone and stared at Xue Xi.

  Xue Xi rejected him. “No, I have a boyfriend.”


  The boy paused and left in disappointment.

  Xie Yingying stuck out her tongue. “It’s so cruel to reject others! However, Sister Xi, you did the right thing. You already have Instructor Xiang, so forget about these people who clearly have ill intentions!”


  Li Zixia also nodded. “Yes, I support you. You should be more heartless to such a person. Otherwise, it’ll be even worse if you give others hope.”


  The three of them quickly finished their meal and left the canteen to return to the dormitory. Just as they were about to leave, the boy approached them again. He held three bottles of beverages in his hand and passed them to the three girls. Before Xue Xi could reject him, he said, “This can be considered as my apology for just now. Don’t reject me!”


  After saying that, he raised his hand and made a begging gesture.

  When he asked for her WeChat just now, many people had already seen him being rejected. Now, everyone who was eating in the canteen looked over.

  Most people were saying, “Take it, take it. If you don’t want to give your WeChat, at least take the drink. It’s free!”


  “Yes. If you don’t accept it, this boy will cry, right?”


  Even Li Zixia and Xie Yingying were at a loss.

  The boy seemed to be even more embarrassed. “Just three bottles of beverages. Don’t worry, I won’t disturb you! I-I just want to be good to you.”


  Xue Xi: “.……”


  She looked at the three bottles of milk beverages and felt a little conflicted.

  She grew up in an orphanage and was not good at interpersonal relationships. The people she met before were not as clingy as this boy.

  She had already rejected him once. How could she reject him again now?

  Should she directly say it?

  She would appear unreasonable.

  However, it was definitely impossible to accept it.

  Seeing her tense lips, the boy passed the three bottles of beverages to Xie Yingying. He then turned around and ran to the back of the window to continue serving food.

  Xue Xi: “.……”


  Just as she was about to return the drink to him, a tall figure walked past her and walked to the window. He picked up his meal card and placed it on the card dispenser. “How much are three bottles of drinks? I’ll give the cost back to you.”
