Chapter 43: Chapter 43 Backing Chapter 43: Chapter 43 Backing Knowing that Lu Siyuan had misunderstood, Shen Mianmian didn’t bother to explain. She simply treated Lu Siyuan as a big kid, giving him just a bit more attention, without any thought of gratitude.
The boss served two bowls of noodles and then brought over two large stead buns. It was only upon seeing the color of the stead buns and noodles that Shen Mianmian suddenly realized—this was the eighties.
The noodles and stead buns that everyone ate were mostly made from mixed grains. Unless they were treating soone, people were reluctant to eat wheat flour products.
The students who ca to eat noodles here all ordered mixed-grain noodles, so the boss prepared mixed-grain noodles for them as well. Wheat noodles were one yuan and fifty cents per bowl, and fortunately, they hadn’t ordered wheat noodles, or else they wouldn’t have had enough money to pay for the al today.
Half a stead bun suddenly appeared in her bowl, causing Shen Mianmian to startle before involuntarily looking up at Lu Siyuan.
He had already torn the other half of the stead bun into pieces and started soaking them in the noodle soup without looking up as he spoke.
“Can’t finish it.”
Shen Mianmian: “…”
Since it was already in her bowl, Shen Mianmian didn’t hold back, mimicking him by soaking the stead bun in the noodle soup as well.
The food now wasn’t very rich and wasn’t very filling. The small al she had eaten in the morning was already digested. A bowl of noodles plus half a stead bun were just enough to fill her up.
“Let’s co back here for noodles tomorrow. I can’t finish one stead bun by myself, so I can share half with you then.”
Money given to students by their families wasn’t ample, especially for a child like Lu Siyuan, who was studying while living with relatives. She didn’t really want to take advantage of a little brat.
Lu Siyuan didn’t speak. He finished the last sip of noodle soup from his bowl, wiped his mouth, stood up, and walked out.
Shen Mianmian paid the bill leisurely, only to see Lu Siyuan waiting for her at the entrance. This surprised her slightly. Given his temperant, shouldn’t he have gone back to school on his own?
Seeing her look of surprise, Lu Siyuan turned his head away and started walking ahead, keeping a distance of around two steps from her. He suddenly said,
“I don’t like owing people favors. From now on at school, if soone bullies you again, co to .”
For the first ti in decades, whether in a past life or the present one, Shen Mianmian found it slightly absurd to be offered protection by a half-grown kid.
“What’s with that expression?” Lu Siyuan wasn’t satisfied with Shen Mianmian’s reaction. “Don’t you believe ?”
This was his first ti claiming to back soone up, and he was being scorned?
“Believe, believe, believe,” Shen Mianmian nodded perfunctorily. “Then, I’ll count on you at school from now on.”
It seed that n, as a species, enjoyed playing the hero right from the start, even when they were just little brats.
“…”
Is that belief?
Seeing her placating him with the attitude one might use on a child, Lu Siyuan got a bit angry, huffed, and quickened his pace, soon leaving Shen Mianmian far behind.
When she arrived at the classroom, Lu Siyuan was already continuing his nap on the desk. Zhou Yu was squeezing at Wang Jingjing’s seat with Su Xiaohong, the three of them chatting about sothing and occasionally bursting into laughter.
When she ca in, Zhou Siyu asked, “Sis, where did you go for lunch? I didn’t see you.”
Lu Siyuan had returned not long before Shen Mianmian did; could the two of them have gone out to eat together?
Without solid evidence, Zhou Siyu didn’t dare to ask outright. Lu Siyuan wasn’t soone to provoke lightly. Until it ca to that point, she didn’t want to anger him.
She vividly rembered a previous incident when Lu Siyuan had scolded another female classmate to tears. The thought of all the classmates watching made her cringe with embarrassnt.
