Hidden Feelings

"I want this roasted cauliflower, braised chicken wings, and scrambled eggs. Wait a minute. Add some braised pork ribs for me as well!"

I ordered two meat dishes and two vegetarian dishes and raised my meal card.

Beep! Beep beep!

"You don't have enough money on your meal card."

The student who was serving the dishes was wearing a face mask. There was a hint of a smile in his voice, and the corner of his eyes crinkled mischievously.

"I'm sorry. I don't want them, then." The campus service center did not open at noon, so I could only recharge the meal card in the afternoon.

Beep!

He took out his meal card and tapped it. Then, he handed over the plate.

"Enjoy your meal."

"Student, I'll transfer the money to you. Can I scan it for you?"

He seemed to be so happy about it. Then, as he was serving the dishes, he took out his phone with one hand. After that, he shook the QR code.

It was not the QR code to collect money. Instead, it was a QR code to add friends.
