Chapter 46: Why Does It Taste So Bad
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Wen Nuan took a bite of rice, only to recoil and spit it out instantaneously. A frown etched across her face as she exclaid, “Did you forget to wash the rice? Why does it taste so bad?”
Jiang Ling’er t Wen Nuan’s shocked countenance with a smile.
Wen Nuan was unaccustod to the agerly priced rice offered in the canteen.
“Now you understand why 1 steer clear of rice,” Jiang Ling’er quipped with a smile.
In her previous life, Jiang Ling’er always kept a low profile, frequenting the school cafeteria and becoming intimately acquainted with its culinary offerings.
Gloomily, Wen Nuan voiced her frustration, “You knew all along, yet you didn’t remind . Now I’m stuck with heaps of rice. What am 1 supposed to do? Every grain represents hard work. If 1 waste it, I’ll face punishnt.”
Jiang Ling’er shrugged, her tone unsympathetic. “1 did remind you. I ntioned that you didn’t need rice, but you insisted on consuming it. Apparently, only rice can satiate your hunger.”
Wen Nuan sank deeper into despondency. Indeed, she had made that remark.
“Don’t dwell on it too much,” Jiang Ling’er interjected. “You can always feed the rice to the fish later.”
Curiously, Wen Nuan inquired, “What made you think of feeding it to the fish? 1 hadn’t considered that. It’s a sha to waste it.”
“I didn’t think much of it, actually. Just ntioned it casually,” Jiang Ling’er replied, sporting a smile.
Surprised, Wen Nuan exclaid, “You can solve the issue of waste so effortlessly with a casual remark. What if you gave it serious thought?”
Mid-al, Jiang Ling’er explained, “I’m uncertain about inedible food, but it can likely be transford into fertilizer.”
Wen Nuan, brimming with curiosity, asked, “What kind of fertilizer?”
“It’s organic fertilizer,” Jiang Ling’er explained. “It enriches the soil, making it more fertile.”
“Isn’t it just fertilizer that enhances soil fertility?” Wen Nuan questioned, slightly perplexed.
Patiently, Jiang Ling’er clarified, “Chemical fertilizer and organic fertilizer differ. The forr is composed of chemicals and lacks organic matter, thus failing to improve the soil. Nuannuan, you haven’t dedicated yourself to studying chemistry and physics!”
Disdainfully, Wen Nuan retorted, “Why must I burden myself with so much learning?”
“Alright, let’s finish our al,” Jiang Ling’er redirected. “We still need to feed the fish later.”
At that mont, a young man sitting across from them interjected, “You two don’t usually eat in the canteen?”
Wen Nuan nodded and admitted, “That’s correct. It’s my first ti dining in the canteen.”
The young man stared at them in disbelief. He remarked, “You used to eat out?
I find the rice in restaurants to be similar to that in the canteen!”
“We’re accustod to eating at ho,” Jiang Ling’er explained. “The rice at ho is superior.”
The young man nodded in understanding. “I see. If we eat at ho, the rice we purchase will be of better quality.”
As the three engaged in conversation, a bespectacled and handso young man approached their table.
Observing the newcor, the young man expressed confusion, “Wang, what brings you to the cafeteria? Weren’t you planning to treat your girlfriend to a special al?”
The young man unconsciously scanned the surroundings before continuing, “Where’s your girlfriend? 1 don’t see her.”
Wang grew slightly embarrassed but managed a smile. “Let’s not dwell on that. We’ve broken up. Little Six, you’re not doing too bad yourself, dining with two lovely ladies.”
Apologetically, Little Six quickly responded, “I didn’t an to bring it up.”
Having said that, he swiftly took a mouthful of rice, leaving the rest of his sentence unsaid.
Wang fell silent for a mont before self-deprecatingly stating, “It’s for the best that we ended things; our relationship wasn’t particularly deep.”
Little Six was taken aback. “Indeed, it was unexpected. What caused the conflict? Weren’t things fine before? Didn’t she insist on staying together?”
Wang chuckled wryly, glancing instinctively at Jiang Ling’er and Wen Nuan. He teased, “The three of you seem to be having such a great ti conversing. When will you get acquainted?”
Little Six rolled his eyes and retorted, “We’re rely sharing a table. Wang, what are you thinking, huh!”
Wang smirked aningfully and remarked, “Little Six, you’re too sharp. You’re usually really so blunt and low-profile, but now you’re getting along so well with a girl you just t.”
Frowning, Little Six responded, “Don’t be absurd. Answer my previous question.”
Awkwardly, Wang admitted, “Fine, I’m not afraid of you laughing at anyway. Since my family is from City B, she told she wanted a million dollars as a dowry for our future marriage.”
Little Six was stunned, his brow furrowing. “That must have been a joke.”
“I asked her if she was kidding, but she responded angrily and broke up with ,” Wang confessed..
