At noon, Yang Yi called Meng Xiao to invite her out for a meal, but she didn't answer.
Yang Yi couldn't go himself, so he sent the housemaid from his home to her studio with lunch.
Meng Xiao wasn't in her studio. Anticipating Yang Yi would come looking for her, she took leave from Xiao Yansheng and returned to school. She grabbed two buns at the cafeteria and took them back to her dorm to eat.
No one was in the dorm. It seemed her three roommates had gone out to get some better food.
Just as she started eating, the three returned. Li Ran placed a disposable food container on Meng Xiao's desk. When Meng Xiao tried to refuse, Ye Siyu proudly said, "This is leftover from our meal today. We're giving it to you out of pity."
Zhou Yao whispered, "Don't listen to her nonsense. We ordered too much and barely touched it. It's all still clean."
