Chapter 58

~8 min read 1,466 words

After playing basketball all afternoon, the few people who had consumed too much were almost exhausted on the playground.

"I can't do it, my eyes are dizzy, maybe my blood sugar is low, I have to eat to be okay."

Liu Li missed several shots, then put his hands on his hips, gasping for air as he said this.

Li Heng knew that the other party's physical foundation wasn't very good, so he immediately put away the basketball, "Let's go! I'm hungry too, let's hurry up and take a shower and go eat."

After rushing through a shower, the four starving people ran to the canteen with their lunch boxes.

At this time, it was still early for the usual meal time, and there weren't many people on the road.

When Li Heng arrived at the canteen entrance, he accidentally ran into Song Yu.

At this moment, she was standing there holding a thermos cup, seemingly waiting for someone.

Seeing Song Yu, Zhang Zhiyong, Liu Li, and Zou Aiming gave Li Heng a weird smile, and then walked around them in a sarcastic manner.

Li Heng had thick skin, this kind of small scene couldn't embarrass him at all, so he walked forward and asked Song Yu:

"Song Yu, at this hour, why are you here alone?"

Song Yu said quietly: "Mom just sent me some dishes, I'm waiting for Manning and Mai Sui to come down."

As she spoke, she uncovered the thermos, "Bring your lunch box over, you eat some too."

Li Heng was flattered and said pleasantly: "I have a share too?"

Song Yu smiled knowingly, "Yes, everyone who sees it has a share, Zijin said I should take good care of you, can't let you get too thin."

Just as Song Yu was scooping stir-fried beef and duck meat for Li Heng, Xiao Han and a girl from the class walked down from the girls' dormitory building, chatting and laughing.

After reaching the first floor, the girl from the class took two hot water bottles and headed toward the boiler room.

While Xiao Han continued to walk forward, intending to go to the school gate to meet Yang Yingwen and others to eat out and improve their food.

It was just that when passing the canteen entrance, she inadvertently glanced inside.

And it was this glance that made Xiao Han suddenly stiffen, the expression on her face freezing there; in this instant, she had a suffocating feeling that her heartbeat had stopped.

Song Yu, with her natural temperament, was dressed in plain white, like a fairy-like figure; she was too beautiful, and it was hard not to notice her.

And what was eye-catching was that Li Heng was standing next to her with a satisfied face.

What was even more eye-catching was the intimate action between the two!

Xiao Han hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath and walked toward the canteen, lowering her head and pretending to be deep in thought, as if she hadn't seen the two of them. When passing by Song Yu, she bumped into her right arm, then panicked and covered her forehead with her hand, saying crisply and apologetically:

"Uh, didn't see you, I'm really sorry!"

Song Yu was holding the thermos cup in her left hand and using a spoon in her right hand to scoop duck meat and stir-fried beef for Li Heng.

After being bumped like this, the white porcelain spoon fell to the ground and broke into two pieces, and Li Heng's lunch box was also knocked over by Song Yu's right hand.

"Clang."

The aluminum lunch box rolled on the ground a few times, spilling stir-fried beef and duck meat along the way, along with some soup and water.

Li Heng instinctively wanted to reach out and grab the lunch box, but he didn't catch it, and when he raised his head and saw it was Xiao Han, his brain buzzed.

He exclaimed in surprise: "Xiao Han?"

Xiao Han seemed not to have heard his shout, turned sideways, and said apologetically to Song Yu again: "I'm sorry, I will compensate you for the spoon."

Song Yu calmed down, and after looking at Xiao Han for a moment, she said with a faint smile: "It's okay, no need to compensate, it was us standing at the door blocking the way, is your foot okay, did you twist it?"

Xiao Han shook her head.

At this moment, the impulse had worn off, and she was cursing herself wildly in her heart:

Xiao Han, you must be crazy!

Do you know what you are doing?

Is this how you get jealous?

Who do you think you are? Who do you think you are? Is it your turn to be jealous?

After the violent scolding, that voice pointed at her forehead, angry at her lack of ambition: You, you, you are Xiao Han! And you're no worse than Song Yu, why are you fighting for favor for him? Why!

Xiao Han bent down to pick up the white porcelain spoon on the ground, identified it clearly, pursed her lips and said: "I'll buy a new one and find you later."

Song Yu said sincerely again: "No need, it's okay."

Xiao Han gave her a sweet smile, and after secretly taking a breath, she dared to face Li Heng's gaze, her eyebrows curved but with a bit of embarrassment as she said:

"Oh, that, Mr. Li... uh... I knocked over your good food, how about I treat you to a meal to compensate you?"

As soon as she finished saying this, she wished she could seal her mouth with tape: Xiao Han! How can you be so scheming, calm down! It's too fake, the purpose is too obvious and you'll be exposed!

Hearing this flavorful remark, Li Heng wasn't surprised at all; this was her.

At this juncture, he didn't play dumb, "Okay, it's a great honor to be able to eat with our Qianzhen's great talented girl.

But not today, I'm eating with my dormitory brothers today, another day, I'll come find you to mooch a meal another day when there's a chance."

He said this not too abruptly, and didn't make Song Yu suspicious.

After all, the two were fellow townsmen and friends, and also junior high classmates, so eating a meal together was the most normal thing.

Looking into his eyes for a few seconds, with Song Yu watching like a tiger nearby, the guilty Xiao Han felt her face burning, and her ears were also hot. After politely greeting Song Yu, she lowered her head, tucked her hair, and left through another exit of the canteen.

Seeing him look at Xiao Han's back for a while, then at the lunch box on the ground, and then at herself, Song Yu said amusingly:

"Time to come back to your senses, go wash the lunch box, I'll share some more with you."

Li Heng was very distressed: "Still sharing? Half of the food fell on the ground."

Song Yu said calmly: "It's okay, we'll each eat a little less."

Following her wishes, Li Heng picked up the lunch box on the ground, washed it clean, and shared some beef and duck meat again.

From beginning to end, she never asked about Xiao Han, nor did she mention any topic related to Xiao Han.

Xiao Han felt that person looking at her from behind; she bit the bullet, her mind in a mess, and didn't know how her wavering legs had left the canteen.

Anyway, when she reached a deserted place outside, her tense nerves dared to relax, and she had time to discover that her palms were full of sweat.

What was even sadder was: her thigh meat had almost been pinched swollen by herself.

Regarding being able to eat with him in the future, Xiao Han pouted, without the joy she had imagined; perhaps it was because she had obtained it by playing tricks?

It wasn't sincere on his part.

Then she thought distressingly: Why is Song Yu so attractive to him, laughing heartlessly like a mentally disabled person.

Hey, mentally disabled! Is Song Yu really prettier than me?

After scolding him twice as mentally disabled, Xiao Han suddenly grinned to herself, and hurriedly remedied it in the messy wind: Mr. Li, please forgive me, I didn't mean it.

Until she walked out of the school gate, Xiao Han's uneasy heart slowly calmed down, and she held her right hand with her left hand, comforting herself: Even if we eat together, there's no need to be afraid, just treat the opportunity as being left for those who are prepared.

She had indeed been prepared for too long.

She had been secretly in love with him for too long.
