Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Chu An looked at Jiang Meng and Wei Shu and cast a puzzled gaze at Gu Xiao.

In the few interactions with Jiang Meng and Wei Shu, he knew that the two of them were more positive. Even though Wei Shu seemed more autistic, she always looked energetic when she was with people familiar with her.

He had never seen the two of them so dispirited.

Gu Xiao glanced at Jiang Meng and Wei Shu, who were holding each other up, and the corners of her mouth curled up.

She approached Chu An, who also bent down cooperatively. “They think that the canteen…”

She recounted Jiang Meng and Wei Shu’s worries and the snack incident in detail. The smile in her eyes had yet to dissipate.

When Chu An heard this, he immediately understood the reason why Gu Xiao was worried about him previously. The corners of his mouth curled up in his good mood, and he glanced at Jiang Meng and Wei Shu again.

Then, he leaned close to Gu Xiao’s ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “Don’t worry, there will be an unexpected surprise.”

Upon hearing Chu An’s words, Gu Xiao raised her eyebrows and glanced at Chu An, who had already straightened back up. Then, she looked at Jiang Meng and Wei Shu, who were still dejected, and nodded.

“Then 1 look forward to it.”

When the four of them arrived at the canteen, they randomly chose a window to queue up. When they saw the food in the canteen, Jiang Meng and Wei Shu widened their eyes in disbelief.

After the four of them got their food and found a seat, Jiang Meng looked at the food on the plate and was still in a daze.

“Braised sliced pork belly with preserved mustard, tomato with eggs, stir-fried vegetables, spinach and fresh vegetable soup… This kind of food is actually not considered good in the eyes of the seniors?”

Jiang Meng’s voice was filled with shock and confusion.

Even if they ate outside, these dishes would cost dozens of yuan. When they were at the training base, they could eat them for just over ten yuan! If it was not enough, they could even add more food for free!

Could this be the so-called bad food?

Then she hoped that the food would not be good in the future!

Jiang Meng prayed in her heart.

Wei Shu nodded cooperatively. However, when she saw that Gu Xiao and Chu An had already started eating, she couldn’t be bothered to sigh anymore. She picked up her chopsticks and picked up a piece of braised sliced pork belly with preserved mustard.

With just one bite, Wei Shu narrowed her eyes in bliss.

The texture was salty and fresh, the meat was soft, fat but not greasy, and the preserved mustard was rich in taste and fragrant. It tasted salty and slightly sweet… This was too delicious!

After Wei Shu ate the food, she couldn’t help but take another bite.

While Wei Shu and Jiang Meng were immersed in the taste of the food, Gu Xiao’s gaze landed on Chu An with a hint of probing in her eyes.

However, there were people coming and going in the canteen, and Jiang Meng and Wei Shu were there as well. Even if Gu Xiao was puzzled, it was not appropriate for her to ask further. She could only eat first and then see.

As the food in the canteen was really too good, coupled with the fact that they had trained for the entire morning, Jiang Meng and Wei Shu, who usually did not eat much and tried their best to control their diet, even went to add a second serving after finishing the first serving.

After finishing two small portions of food, Jiang Meng and Wei Shu were finally full.

The four of them left the canteen. After walking for a while, Jiang Meng and Wei Shu looked at each other. Then, they turned to Gu Xiao and said, “Xiaoxiao, Xiaoshu and 1 have something on, so we’ll go back to the dormitory first. Can you take your time and come back later on your own?”

The male and female dorms were in two different directions. The lunch break at noon was only an hour and a half. Seeing how affectionate Gu Xiao and Chu An were, it was better for them not to disturb them too much.

Therefore, Jiang Meng and Wei Shu planned to slip away first and give Gu Xiao and Chu An a chance to be alone!

Of course, Gu Xiao knew what the two of them were thinking, but she indeed had some things to ask Chu An, so she didn’t refute this suggestion.

“Yes, I can.”

After receiving Gu Xiao’s answer, Jiang Meng and Wei Shu glanced at Chu An and left hand in hand.

Chu An looked at their backs, and a hint of gratification flashed across his eyes.

Thankfully, he had been bringing delicious food for the two of them previously. It seemed that those delicious food had not been in vain. They even knew to give him and Xiaoxiao a chance to be alone.

Chu An directly grabbed Gu Xiao’s hand and interlocked his fingers with Gu Xiao’s with some force.

Gu Xiao glanced at Chu An’s actions, but she didn’t refute. Instead, she talked about another matter.

“Were you the one who caused the situation in the canteen?” It was clearly a question, but Gu Xiao used an affirmative tone..
