Chapter 229: Did you pack your own lunch?
'Wow! This looks so delicious!' When comparing it to the leftovers she brought, it's trash. And the looks exactly match with how it tastes. The moment Feng Meifeng ate it, a million stars exploded in her eyes. She couldn't explain the flavor because it was too good.
'Compared to mine.....' She couldn't help but feel shameful when looking at the leftovers she brought. She held onto her bag tighter, trying to keep it hidden. However, that just made it more apparent. Because Lu Chen looks at her, wondering why she's fidgeting. He asks,
"What's in your bag?" When Lu Chen says this, Feng Meifeng quickly shakes her hand in the air,
"There's nothing there! You don't need to worry about it!"
But that just made Lu Chen curious even more. He looks over her shoulders and saw that in the bag, there's a small lunch box.
"...Did you pack your own lunch?"
Feng Meifeng nods her head as she brings it out. No use in hiding it now. She explains, "Yeah. They're leftovers from yesterday's dinner." As she said this, her voice grew smaller and smaller.
Ye Meixiu didn't say anything to her. But on the inside, she's smug. Having leftovers was never a thing in her house. That goes the same for Lu Chen as well.
'Hmpf, and you still think that you can match with brother Chen? Get outta here with that!' The social standings are too different from each other.
'I shouldn't have gone with them.' Feng Meifeng felt embarrassed.
She could hear the people around them snickering. Even though they were in a canteen, the area was silent, watching the four. Seeing the angel with guys made them curious about what's going on.
"How could such a low-class person hang out with the angel?"
"Leftovers? Does she not have enough money to feed herself?"
Hearing how the students snicker at her more, Feng Meifeng wanted to leave. However, Lu Chen took the lunch box out of her hands.
Everybody's eyes were shining on what Lu Chen was going to do with it. Will he throw it on the floor and smash it? Or act smug against her for bringing low-class food.
"You don't mind if I eat this?" Contrary to what other people were thinking, Lu Chen went the opposite way of what they thought.
"Can you even finish all of it?"
"Of course. I have to bulk up a bit more. So a little bit more food is nothing to me."
"But I don't think the food would suit your taste. Besides, I'm just going to throw it away." With the quantity from the student lunch, it's enough to make her stay full till tomorrow morning.
"I'll be the judge of that. And don't throw it away. Never waste food."
This was something he learned from the past. With how much food he and Liu Fei Fei throw out, Lu Chen realizes the value of wasting food.
"But it's nothing like the food you have every day. It's nothing but scraps, nothing like the fancy food you have."
Lu Chen shakes his head, "Do you even know what kinds of food I eat? Does it look like I care about how fancy the food is?" The man has been eating barbeque for most of his school life, Feng Meifeng's food is ten times better than this.
"And don't worry about what others say about you. Their voices don't even matter." Of course, Lu Chen could hear what the others were snickering about as he sent a scowl at them. The peanut gallery quickly looked away, trying to act as normal as possible.
"....Fine. But don't blame me if you don't like it." When Lu Chen opened the box up, he saw there was a vast amount of food.
The moment Lu Chen ate it, his eyes went wide,
"This is delicious. How could you say it's trash?" Feng Meifeng blushes from the compliment. Even though it wasn't as high quality as the school lunch, the homely feeling and warmth are there.
"It's not that good." Feng Meifeng didn't expect her cooking to be this well-liked by Lu Chen. And the only sound of Lu Chen only eating says it all.
Seeing Lu Chen continue to eat in silence, it got the other three to continue eating as well. As the four ate, Ye Meixiu asked, "Brother Chen, will you be ready for the gaokao?"
