SEVEN YEARS WITHOUT YOU, VOLUME 4 - SEASON 48 EPISODE 24

Upon hearing this, Qin Chu stopped in his tracks, turned around, and glanced at Huo Mian’s face.

“Do you think you’re so good-looking that you dare to talk to me like that?”

Huo Mian: “…”

“Think before you speak…”

Huo Mian: “…”

Damn, was she being insulted?

She wanted to argue with him, but they had already reached the cafeteria entrance.

There was always a sea of people in the canteen. They would have to queue for a long time. Unless it was time for class, it was always packed.

“What do you want to eat? Shall we queue up first?”

Huo Mian asked him.

Qin Chu didn’t say anything and walked straight to the second floor of the cafeteria.

The second floor was a high-end cafeteria. Most of the people there were teachers, school leaders, or higher-ups who had come to observe.

Although the dishes were delicious, they were also expensive. Ordinary students couldn’t afford them.

A meal cost at least 1,000 or 2,000 yuan.

For a commoner like Huo Mian, this was a sky-high price.

Therefore, when Qin Chu went up to the second floor, Huo Mian hesitated.

She did not follow him.

“What are you waiting for? Come up.”

Qin Chu looked back at Huo Mian.

“Um… you can go up first. I’ll wait for Lingling. She went to get some water, she’ll be here soon.”

Huo Mian found an excuse; she didn’t want to make things awkward.

Her classmates all knew about her family background. If she went straight to the second floor, she would be mocked to death.

A poor girl pretending to be rich?

Just as she was struggling with herself, Zhu Lingling returned.

She grabbed Huo Mian’s shoulder. “Hey, what are you thinking about?”

Huo Mian looked down at the two bottles of honey peach juice in Zhu Lingling’s hands.

This was the fruit juice that she and Lingling liked to drink, but because it cost three yuan per bottle, which was slightly expensive, she rarely drank it.

But Zhu Lingling often bought it for her.

“Nothing.”

“Then let’s go upstairs. Didn’t Qin Chu say he would treat us to a good meal?” Zhu Lingling didn’t feel guilty at all.

She knew that Qin Chu was rich, so a big meal was nothing to him.

“Maybe I shouldn’t go… I’ll eat downstairs.”

Huo Mian still didn’t think it was a good idea to go up. At least that place wasn’t suitable for her.

“You should be braver… He took the initiative to treat us, what’s there to be afraid of? It’d be a waste not to eat… Let’s go…”

Zhu Lingling grabbed Huo Mian’s hand and dragged her upstairs.

Afraid of attracting the attention of her classmates, Huo Mian didn’t dare to struggle.

However, when she went upstairs and found Qin Chu, she realized that Gao Ran was also there.

Zhu Lingling didn’t seem surprised; perhaps it was within her expectations.

However, Huo Mian was conflicted because she saw that Zhu Lingling only bought three bottles of drinks.

She thought it was only her, Qin Chu, and Lingling.

But now she had one less bottle, so how should they split it…

Huo Mian’s first reaction was to share a bottle with Lingling since they were best friends.

However, Zhu Lingling handed one bottle to Qin Chu and placed the other two in front of Huo Mian and herself.

“Where’s my drink?” Gao Ran saw that the three of them had drinks, and he didn’t.

Zhu Lingling replied angrily, “I didn’t know you were coming, I didn’t prepare your share.”

“D*mn… This girl, you’re doing this on purpose…” Gao Ran knew that Zhu Lingling was holding a grudge.

Huo Mian also thought that it was not kind for Gao Ran to not have a drink, so she suggested, “Why don’t you drink this? Lingling and I can share one.”

“Sure, sure. Huo Mian is still the best.”

Gao Ran cheekily picked up Huo Mian’s drink, but Qin Chu slapped his hand away.

“Drink mine.” Qin Chu handed his to Gao Ran.

“Holy sh*t, you’re so generous… Are you kidding me?” Gao Ran was ecstatic.

Qin Chu ignored him and said calmly to Huo Mian, “Let’s share a bottle.”

Huo Mian froze… What was going on?
