Lin Yi's action was so shocking that all the classmates who were secretly glancing over froze instantly!
Xiao Zihan's deskmate was even more shocked, dropping the spoon from her hand without realizing it.
Initially, Lin Yi eating Xiao Zihan's steamed bun was shocking enough. Now, this intimate gesture was undoubtedly the behavior between 'lovers'!
However, Lin Yi himself didn't take it seriously at all. After removing the steamed bun crumbs from Xiao Zihan's mouth, he naturally tossed them into his own mouth.
"Alright, you treated me to a bun, so let's go. I'll treat you to something too."
After saying that, he stood up and walked towards Li Huiqun, who was waiting by the back door.
But to the ears of the classmates, this line made them all draw lines of embarrassment on their foreheads.
Come on, you clearly went over and grabbed someone's bun, and now you're saying they treated you? How shameless can you be!
Halfway there, Lin Yi turned back, a bit displeased to see Xiao Zihan still sitting in her seat without moving, and said irritably:
"Xiao Zihan, didn't you hear me? Let's go, what are you still waiting for?"
Lin Yi's tone was quite domineering, leaving no room for discussion with Xiao Zihan.
Hearing Lin Yi's domineering words, Xiao Zihan shuddered in fright. But she still timidly looked up at Lin Yi and carefully said:
"N-no need, I'm full with just this one."
After saying that, she dared not look at Lin Yi again, quickly lowering her head and taking small bites of her steamed bun.
Lin Yi didn't expect this gentle girl to actually dare to refuse him. He couldn't help but slightly curl his lips, murmuring in his heart:
"This girl is quite stubborn."
Thinking this, Lin Yi turned around and walked back to Xiao Zihan's seat. Without waiting for Xiao Zihan to react, he swiftly grabbed the half-eaten bun from her hand, put it in his mouth without a word, and looked at her assertively, munching on the bun:
"Now what are you going to eat?"
Looking up at Lin Yi's unreasonable demeanor, Xiao Zihan pursed her lips in grievance. Her small fists clenched on the table, but eventually, she said nothing, instead picking up her chopsticks to nibble on the pickled vegetables from her lunchbox.
Clearly, she was silently resisting Lin Yi's overbearing attitude.
This surprised Lin Yi. He didn't expect the usually quiet girl to have so much personality, but Lin Yi wasn't one to give up easily either:
With only a few days left until the college entrance exams, she needed to be well-nourished. Half a month ago, she fainted during a gym class because of inadequate nutrition. At that time, the class wanted to pool money for her, but she wouldn't accept it.
As for whether eating well now would upset her stomach, there was no need to worry about that. If it does have any effect, he could always concoct some digestive medicine to make a special stomach remedy.
"Oh, you're eating pickled vegetables, right? Fine, I'll eat them all and see what else you can do!"
Lin Yi simply took Xiao Zihan's lunchbox, grabbed her chopsticks, and slurped the small portion of pickled vegetables into his mouth.
After wiping his mouth, he chewed on the pickles and steamed bun while looking at Xiao Zihan, who was stunned:
"Now can we go?"
Watching Lin Yi's mouth stuffed with her lunch, Xiao Zihan could only look at him with a wronged expression:
"No, no need, I'm not hungry. I'm full..."
Through those outdated glasses, Lin Yi saw the aggrieved little eyes, and he sighed inwardly, but for Xiao Zihan's health, he still opened his mouth firmly:
"Come on, stop dawdling. If you don't come eat with me, I'll buy every dish in the cafeteria for you!"
Though he hadn't interacted much with this girl before, Lin Yi knew how to make this stubborn girl relent.
She was usually frugal and wouldn't allow Lin Yi to waste money recklessly.
Sure enough, after Lin Yi said this, Xiao Zihan finally bit her lip and agreed.
Burp~
Watching Xiao Zihan stand up, Lin Yi couldn't help burping with some annoyance and said:
"Wouldn't it have been better to do this sooner? Damn, I almost choked to death..."
...
In the school cafeteria, under the astonished gazes of everyone, Lin Yi took Xiao Zihan to a 'sumptuous' lunch.
With the college entrance exams approaching, no matter how good outside food was, Lin Yi didn't venture out, especially considering Xiao Zihan's stomach. Cafeteria food was cleaner and safer.
However, throughout the meal, Lin Yi barely used his chopsticks. Why didn't he eat? No need to ask, two buns had filled him up...
Lin Yi sat at the dining table, moving all the meat from his tray to Xiao Zihan's:
"Today's dishes are so bad, huh. Well, this one's not good. You eat it..."
As Lin Yi scooped dishes, Xiao Zihan's face turned red. She didn't know how to refuse.
Not one to waste, she ate the food in her tray seriously, but given Lin Yi's gaze, she couldn't take her eyes off her tray while eating.
And where was Li Huiqun? Of course, he went to have some spicy hot pot.
Kidding aside, this was Lin Yi's first date, and there was no way he'd let Li Huiqun stick around as a third wheel...
In an odd ambiance, the lunch finally came to an end.
"Alright, you treated me to a bun, I treated you to the cafeteria, so we're even for now. I have something to do this afternoon, so you head back to the classroom yourself."
After walking out of the cafeteria door, Lin Yi looked at Xiao Zihan, who was still following him with her head down, and said.
After finishing, he didn't wait for Xiao Zihan to say anything, turning directly toward the bike shed.
Watching Lin Yi's tall back, Xiao Zihan felt her heart inexplicably skip a beat and whispered to that retreating figure:
"Are you not coming to class this afternoon? I, I'll take notes for you..."
But her voice was too soft, and Lin Yi, already more than ten meters away, didn't hear a thing.
...
Leaving Xiao Zihan aside and focusing on Lin Yi.
Seeing that Xiao Zihan ate a nutritious meal, Lin Yi was in an exceptionally good mood.
As he rode his bicycle toward the antique market, Lin Yi hummed a tune along the way:
"We common people~ are really happy today~..."
