Gem Atkinson took the waiting card handed over by the female classmate and said, "Thank you. You all will definitely be happy too."

Forsythia Brown was left speechless: Gem, do you have no shame?

Forsythia was more experienced, so she took the initiative and ordered plenty.

"I know you don't like spicy, so we can share," Forsythia said.
