The cafeteria was bustling with activity, the noise ebbing and flowing as three people took their trays and found their seats.
Indeed, they not only did homework together after school in the same room and stuck together during breaks, but they also ate lunch together. Their relationship was so close that they only just stopped short of going to the bathroom together... thankfully, social norms like "men and women are different" still existed.
Xu Xiangyang looked left and right, and suddenly he realized a problem he couldn't ignore:
To his left, Lin Xingjie, the long-haired girl, had a plate piled high with white rice. She hummed a tune and picked up her chopsticks, looking eager to dig in; meanwhile, to his right was Zhu Qingyue, who had just a restrained spoonful of rice on her plate.
After hesitating for a moment, Xu Xiangyang still couldn't hold back the words:
"Xing Jie, have you been... eating a bit too much recently?"
