"Why?" Dongfang Xuanya asked earnestly, "What would happen if you told?"
"People would look down upon you," Shi Mei replied seriously, looking at her, "And not just a few people. Of course, if you don't mind, you can talk about it; I won't interfere."
Dongfang Xuanya nodded, "I understand; I'll only talk about this with you and won't mention it casually to others. Are you going to get ready for a meal now?"
"Mhm."
Dongfang Xuanya stood up from the bed eagerly and asked, "Where are you planning to take me for a meal?"
Shi Mei paused.
Take her?
When had she said she would take her?
Dongfang Xuanya seemed not to notice Shi Mei's moment of stiffness at all and continued eagerly, "I heard the cafeteria food is delicious, but it's easy to gain weight. Dean Jian told us to watch our diet and maintain our figures; we must not get too heavy. So, let's eat something light."
Shi Mei was quiet for a moment, then said, "Okay then."
