Chapter 46: Embarrass Qin Xue

One sentence made the three people look up.

Lu Chi, what's he getting worked up about again?

Su Yun Jiao said: "If you're hungry, go eat; no one's stopping you."

Downstairs there's a dedicated place to eat; Lu Chi could simply go downstairs, or even use the nearby tablet to order takeout and have the librarian bring it up.

Qin Xue quickly understood Lu Chi's meaning, and she proactively said: "It's already this late; I'm a bit hungry too, otherwise let's all go eat together, Zhou Xian, are you hungry?"

They had unknowingly studied until half past seven in the evening.

Su Yun Jiao felt no sense of time passing.

Who would have thought that in just a short while, over three hours had passed.

Faced with Qin Xue's suggestion, Su Yun Jiao also turned to Zhou Xian: "Class monitor, are you hungry?"

After all, someone had spent over three hours teaching me; if I'm not hungry and don't let others eat, that would be a bit hard to justify.

"Yes, I'm a bit hungry; let's go eat together."

Aside from Lu Chi occasionally speaking out of turn just now, the study atmosphere over these three hours was still quite good.

Hearing that, Su Yun Jiao nodded: "Alright, class monitor, what would you like to eat? We can go downstairs to check, or just have them bring it up."

"I know there's a nice restaurant-bar nearby; let's all go out to eat, after all the cafeteria here isn't anything good—just fast food and not nutritious."

Qin Xue anxiously put forward this suggestion.

Before Su Yun Jiao could speak, Lu Chi said: "Not a bad suggestion; let's go eat at the restaurant-bar."

"I..."

"Let's go together, Jiao Jiao; we just studied together so harmoniously."

Qin Xue deliberately glanced at Zhou Xian beside her and said: "Besides, Zhou Xian is also hungry; after teaching you for so long, you'd hardly feel right asking others to buy you fast food."

"I can eat fast food; besides, I won't let Jiao Jiao pay—paying is naturally what a boy should do."

Zhou Xian stood up and said: "Going to the restaurant-bar is fine; I'll treat."

Faced with Zhou Xian's words, Qin Xue deliberately said: "Jiao Jiao, look how good Zhou Xian is to you; having such a class monitor really makes people envious."

Su Yun Jiao clearly understood in her heart that Qin Xue's words were meant for Lu Chi to hear.

She simply went along with it, saying: "Isn't that right? The class monitor is a three-good man; whoever marries him will surely live a happy life, right, class monitor?"

Zhou Xian hadn't expected Su Yun Jiao to suddenly say that; he suddenly felt a bit at a loss.

Looking at Zhou Xian's flustered appearance, Lu Chi, also a man, quickly understood what Zhou Xian was really thinking.

Zhou Xian likes Su Yun Jiao and thought he was hiding it well.

Thinking of this, Lu Chi let out a cold laugh.

Su Yun Jiao actually likes that kind of blockheaded man.

His taste is truly poor.

Qin Xue quickly led the three of them to a restaurant-bar near the library.

The décor of this restaurant-bar looks not cheap, and after just a glance at the menu, Su Yun Jiao felt the prices were outrageously high.

Even a regular single-person set meal costs 399, let alone the drinks they ordered around.

The prices of these drinks are severely inflated; an ordinary cocktail actually costs 100 each.

Su Yun Jiao didn't know what exactly made this drink so expensive.

Moreover, Su Yun Jiao didn't think Qin Xue could afford the prices here.

If we're just having a meal, for the four of us to eat our fill here would need at least 1500.

If we drink, it's not as simple as being worth 1500.

"Qin Xue, have you been to this restaurant-bar before?"

Qin Xue didn't notice the loophole in Su Yun Jiao's question at all, and she directly replied: "No, I just saw the reviews were good, so I wanted to give it a try."

"Oh, haven't come before."

Su Yun Jiao said: "The prices here aren't cheap; I heard from Lu Chi that your family is financially strained, yet I didn't expect you'd actually want to spend money here."

Su Yun Jiao's words made Qin Xue's face stiffen for a moment.

Her family background is poor, something almost the whole grade knows.

But these, Qin Xue herself has been spreading around.

It's so people will know her family is poor, thereby gaining sympathy.

But how could someone from a poor family think of coming to such an expensive place to spend money?

Then there's only one reason.

It's that she knows coming here doesn't require her to spend money.

Su Yun Jiao glanced at Zhou Xian beside her and said: "Class monitor, I think the prices here are a bit outrageously high; why don't we change to another place?"

She really didn't want Zhou Xian to be the sucker.

Zhou Xian also doesn't owe Lu Chi and Qin Xue anything.

"It's fine; it's not that expensive, acceptable."

"How can that be? We agreed today you'd tutor me; I can't let you lose out."

After saying that, Su Yun Jiao looked toward Lu Chi and Qin Xue beside her, feigning difficulty: "The prices here are really too high; how about this: we go out to eat, and you guys eat here."

Seeing Su Yun Jiao even worrying over this bit of money for Zhou Xian, Lu Chi directly said: "Today I'll treat this meal; okay?"

"How would that be proper to accept?"

After saying that, Su Yun Jiao, as if fearing Lu Chi might regret it, quickly said: "But if Lu Chi insists, then it's not impossible."

Zhou Xian quickly realized Su Yun Jiao didn't want him to be the sucker.

Zhou Xian smiled and then didn't continue speaking.

He didn't want to let down Su Yun Jiao's kindness.

Everyone had already taken their seats, but Su Yun Jiao still deliberately asked, "By the way, if we hadn't bumped into you this time, were you also planning to invite Lu Chi here?"

Faced with Su Yun Jiao's question, Qin Xue momentarily didn't know how to respond, afraid that if she said the wrong thing she would be played by Su Yun Jiao.

"I... yes, I was preparing to bring Lu Chi here."

"So, you brought Lu Chi here to eat— is Lu Chi paying?"

Su Yun Jiao's words once again left Qin Xue speechless.

Because whenever they went out to play before, Lu Chi always paid.

Qin Xue didn't think it was a big deal, but while they both understood it privately, having it pointed out openly was another matter.

Su Yun Jiao was clearly implying that she was after Lu Chi's money for eating, drinking, and having fun outside.

Sure enough, Lu Chi's brow furrowed.

"I was just joking casually; don't take it to heart, let's continue— order."

Su Yun Jiao pretended to be nonchalant as she scanned the code to order.

But Qin Xue opposite her simply dared not scan the code.

Afraid that Lu Chi would misunderstand her as trying to mooch off him for food and drink.

"This meal, let me treat you, Lu Chi— you've treated me so many times already; I really feel a bit embarrassed."
