Chapter 55

"I have something good for you."

Shen Li raised her eyes, her eyes rippling with curiosity: "What?"

At this time, Xie Qin fished a sticky rice ball out of his pocket; it was still hot, and he pressed it hard with his palm, squeezed it into a ball, and gave it to her.

"If you don't come soon, it'll really get hard."

"I brought breakfast, you eat it yourself." Shen Li took out a piece of bread and a bottle of milk from the bag on her desk.

Xie Qin moved directly and snatched it away, "Let's swap."

"Xie Qin! You… don't need to specially buy me breakfast." Shen Li pursed her lips and watched him snatch the bread he had taken from her, eating half of it in one bite.

"Oh, you don't like sticky rice? I'll change it for you tomorrow."

He seemed not to understand what she was saying.

"Specially bought it for you at the school gate; if you don't eat it, you're really not human. The school boss's face, you won't even give?"

Shen Li: "…"

"What, still afraid of eating me poor?" Xie Qin raised his eyebrows with a bit of ruffianism, "Do you know what they all call me?"

"Xie the Big Spender!"

He was also very proud.

Shen Li couldn't see through him, "You don't need to be like this. No matter how much money you have, that's your money, it has nothing to do with me."

"I've already found my wallet."

She didn't like owing others things.

Nor did she want to owe others kindness for no reason.

She would feel burdened.

"Really not eating?" Xie Qin looked at her, his tone probing, "Oh, then I'll throw it away."

Shen Li had no choice but to accept his sticky rice, and in exchange, she gave him the milk in her hand.

She ate quietly and listened to the class, but the sticky rice ball was a bit big, and for a while, she couldn't finish it all at once.

Xie Qin supported his head, watching her hold the sticky rice ball with both hands; she was probably choking, so she reached out to get water to drink.

Xie Qin took a step ahead, opened the cup she had placed on the desk, and put it by her hand.

Shen Li took a sip of water and ate it slowly.

Seeing her like this, a curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.

His eyes looked like he was watching a pet being fed.

After the curtains were fixed, the sun wasn't that harsh.

The people who came to class started sitting randomly.

Most liked to sit in the back row.

Class wasn't quiet either; everyone was doing their own thing, learning was loose, eating was eating, playing games was playing games.

The teacher didn't care what the people below were doing either.

Halfway through the class, using the excuse of going to the restroom, they ran back to the dorm.

Twenty-eight people in class, half of them skipped class, and only a dozen people were left in class at the end.

Only Shen Li sat in the corner, staring at the stage, listening to the class; sometimes she would lose her focus, not even knowing what she was thinking, her empty eyes staring blankly.

Xie Qin sat beside Shen Li, playing games with his head down, his peripheral vision glancing over, his fingers tapping on her desk, "Hey, what are you thinking about? Losing focus in class…"

Shen Li heard the voice, came back to her senses, met his gaze, and noticed the game he was playing on his phone, with the sound off, no sound effects, only visual effects.

She noticed Xie Qin for the first time; he seemed to really like playing this game.

He was playing it every class.

Yesterday at the dinner in the private room, was the game he lost also this one?

…

"It's all your fault, I just lost the dungeon, causing me to drop equipment, I don't care, you have to compensate me."

"…How else can I compensate, of course, it's our Brother Qin, offering himself."

…

At this time, a message popped up on Xie Qin's phone, "Why aren't you moving?"

Shen Li came back to her senses, moved her gaze away, and continued to put her mind on the class.

In the last ten minutes of class, everyone's minds had long drifted away; it was just time for lunch, and they were still in class.

Those few people sat over.

Zhang Zixin and Xu Zhouyuan sat in front of them, Zhou Mingyu and Qiao Lang pulled their chairs and sat beside them.

"Slept for over half an hour, my whole body is numb," Xu Zhouyuan took out his phone, turned around, and looked at Xie Qin and Shen Li: "…Ten minutes until class ends, should we leave early to eat?"

To chase a girl, it was really hard for them; usually at this hour, they were still at the billiard hall, with girls accompanying them for a round.

Zhang Zixin flipped through her phone, "Besides the few places we usually go, there doesn't seem to be anything good to eat nearby."

"How about hot pot? I got a card last time, there's still over 3,000 in it."

Zhou Mingyu: "Still eating? Let's not! That hot pot almost smoked me into the flavor, let's eat something else."

Several gazes looked at Shen Li in unison.

Zhang Zixin: "Shen Li, is there anything you want to eat? Recommend a restaurant?"

Shen Li: "You guys go, I'm not very hungry. I still have to go back to the dorm to wash yesterday's clothes."

At noon she had eaten, and that big sticky rice ball hadn't been digested yet.

Zhang Zixin laughed out loud and said: "Is it the sticky rice ball Xie Qin bought you? You ate it all?"

Shen Li nodded, "It was too big, can't waste it, always have to finish it."

Xu Zhouyuan also couldn't stop laughing, "Laughing to death, that sticky rice ball, it was bought bigger than my head, adding everything into it, and he was still afraid you wouldn't be full."

"Fine, now it's good. Don't even need to eat lunch or dinner."

But it was enough.

Not to mention now, Xu Zhouyuan had never seen Xie Qin buy breakfast for anyone.

After they left the classroom, Shen Li was still sitting in the classroom and could hear the sound of Xu Zhouyuan and the others mocking Xie Qin in the corridor outside.

Zhou Mingyu: "…I really can't take it, laughing to death, if I had known, I should have eaten that sticky rice ball hahaha…"

She was really not hungry.

At noon she went back to the dorm and washed the clothes she had changed out of yesterday.

And Xie Qin's jacket.

His jacket was quite expensive.

Pure cotton clothes shouldn't be washed in water that's too hot.

Shen Li used warm water with laundry detergent and washed it gently; his black jacket didn't look very dirty, and she didn't dare to use too much force when washing it.

Really afraid of ruining it.

Almost, washed it twice.

Then she wrung it out and hung it on the balcony to dry.

Today the weather was clear, and the wind was gentle.

After a night tonight, it should be almost dry.

She walked out of the balcony and closed the door.

Zhao Zhouyuan had just returned from the cafeteria after lunch, and the two were still as silent as before, neither taking the initiative to say a word.

Shen Li was also a dull person and wouldn't take the initiative to find others; if there was anything, she would only keep it in her heart, then self-consume, and after a long time, she would self-regulate.

She didn't really know how to maintain a short-term relationship, including catering to those around her to connect with friendship.

Because her mother told her that friendship between people, no matter how good, was useless; anyway, they might not contact each other in the future, so instead of wasting time on this, it's better to manage her studies more.

Shen Li also felt her mother was right, and she listened to it.

No matter how good a relationship is, after a long time, the feelings will fade.

If you want to talk about good friends in high school…
