Chapter 3: Loosening One's Clothing and Belt
Carrying luggage, making beds, cleaning up, one after another, this group of peers quickly became familiar with each other. By lunchtime, they had already progressed to the point where they were sharing embarrassing stories with each other.
Speaking of lunch, there is a legend about the cafeteria that must be mentioned. It is said that more than a decade ago, C City was still a small fishing village that had not yet attracted investment and commerce, far from the prosperity it enjoys today. Although the people were simple and honest at that time, there were also some thieves and robbers.
On a dark and windy night, the sow that was about to give birth at Zhang's house went missing. The police station comrades immediately apprehended two suspects, one of whom was a technician from the textile accessories factory, and the other was a security guard from No. 1 Middle School.
The police comrades arrested people without interrogation, locked them in prison cells and went to sleep.
Stealing a mother pig is no small crime. On that long and sleepless night, the two of them hatched a great plan to escape from prison.
The technician took out a wrench from his pocket and started prying open the guardhouse's fence. After half a day of prying, the steel-reinforced fence didn't budge.
"Get out of the way, watch this." The security guard took a step forward, pulled out a divine object, which was actually a fried dough stick from the cafeteria. He placed it between two railings and gently pried them apart, instantly creating an opening large enough for someone to pass through.
The technician's face was shocked.
Of course this is just a legend, whether the food in the cafeteria of Class 1 is really so unpalatable remains to be verified by Xia Xi, but at this moment she really can't swallow it.
Next to the table sat a person with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, wearing a white shirt that made him look exceptionally spirited. This person was none other than Lu Dongqi, someone Xi Xi was extremely familiar with, her childhood sweetheart who had been on her mind for over a decade.
Lu Dongqi, of course, wouldn't let Xi Xi go hungry. The problem was that across from Lu Dongqi sat another person - Shen Luyao. She smiled with restraint, her beautiful face like a blooming flower in Jiangnan in March.
"Shen Luoyao, you and Lu Dongqi were from the same school originally."
"You're not a couple, are you?"
"Haha, exactly, they really match."
"Don't spout nonsense." Lu Dongqi's voice was drowned out by a burst of laughter.
Shen Luoyao lowered her head, her face red as if honey was about to drip out.
Coughing, upon hearing this, XiXi was suddenly choked, coughing non-stop. After drinking a mouthful of water handed over by XianMiao, she calmed down a bit.
What a match, do these people have eyes or not? She muttered to herself, straining her neck to look over there, but Lu Dongqi was busy chatting and laughing with the person next to him, completely unaware of her.
She started eating the full plate of food, but it was tasteless.
I ate a meal to the end, but I couldn't tell what it was. The dishes on the plate were braised pork, eggplant with garlic and ginger, or Kung Pao chicken, of course this can't be blamed on her, in the cafeteria of No. 1 Middle School, all these potato-based dishes are almost the same taste and appearance.
Xia Xixi followed behind Xi Miao with a gloomy expression, carrying a plate to the serving area while sneaking glances at Lu Dongqi.
In a moment of carelessness, the full plate of leftovers was knocked over and landed squarely on someone's body. Just as she was about to apologize, she looked up to see that person staring at her with an icy expression, their eyes cold and hard. This look, this gaze, could only belong to one person - her arch-nemesis Chen Yan.
Chen Yan was covered in leftover food and couldn't help but laugh and cry: "Xia Xi, are you a Bodhisattva sent by Guanyin to torment me?"
"Oh, sorry, didn't see it." Xi Xi's apology was extremely insincere, but at least she apologized, unlike some people who wouldn't even say sorry after crashing into someone else's car. She still had this matter on her mind.
"Is it okay if I just don't see it?" Chen Yan's face was unpleasant and his words carried a threatening tone.
"What do you want me to do? Do you want me to wash it for you? Alright, take it off then." Xi Xi was secretly pleased with herself, having unintentionally avenged herself.
"Alright, you said so." Chen Yanqing said calmly and began to unbutton her shirt.
It was actually Xi Xi and Xian Miao beside her who widened their eyes, how dare he loosen his clothes in the cafeteria in front of so many people?
Chen Yan's expression didn't look like he was joking, and with a quick turn of his hand, the top three buttons were already undone, revealing a large expanse of young and sturdy chest. Xi Xi's face flushed red in an instant.
