Walking out.
The cafeteria is over by apartnt 8.
Currently, the entire campus has only a little over three thousand students, more than a thousand are staff mbers.
So Chunping Campus is divided into two cafeterias.
One is called the West District Student Dining Hall, and the other is the West District Staff Canteen.
Zhang Lingchuan went to the West District Student Dining Hall.
"Auntie, one beef noodle, please."
Then he arrived at his usual stall, wanting sothing warm for breakfast, so noodles or soup would do the trick.
After ordering, Zhang Lingchuan casually found a place to sit down.
"Senior, senior~"
At this mont, a girl about the sa height as Wanqing, with delicate features and a braid, ca over.
She was wearing a very figure-flattering dance or performance outfit, and she bent slightly and lightly poked Zhang Lingchuan with a finger.
"Hmm?"
Zhang Lingchuan was surprised when she ca over.
He seed curious as to what she wanted.
"Senior, I don’t have my al card. Could I borrow yours just to swipe it? I can transfer the money to you via WeChat~"
Looking embarrassed, she took out her phone with a cute silicone case, ready to scan the code.
"Didn’t bring your al card? Alright, tell what you want to eat, and I’ll swipe it for you."
Zhang Lingchuan nodded; it’s normal to help out a fellow student.
Sotis you forget your card and it’s a hassle to go back, borrowing one is pretty common.
"Thanks, senior, I’ll have the unforgettable beef noodles."
Following his words, she gave a very delighted smile.
"Auntie, I want a small portion."
She pointed with her resilient finger at the picture of beef noodles at the stall.
Why resilient?
It’s because her long finger pointed with a slight curve.
Like a small arc.
"Alright, alright~"
The auntie smiled broadly at them, especially at Zhang Lingchuan, who was holding the card.
"Beep~"
A crisp sound rang out.
Transaction completed.
"Senior, can I sit here?"
The girl in the dance outfit pointed at the seat across from Zhang Lingchuan with her slender finger.
"Of course, this seat isn’t mine to control, anyway."
Zhang Lingchuan joked.
All cafeteria seats are open, he certainly can’t say a particular seat is his alone.
"Then I’ll sit. Senior, you’re really nice. I’ll add you on WeChat to transfer the money."
The girl in the dance outfit sat down with a smile.
She opened the WeChat scan interface.
"No need, your small portion is just eight yuan. Think of it as my treat—are you preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival performance or the freshman show?"
The small portion was just eight yuan, easy enough for him as a senior to cover.
There are so few perforrs from the Agricultural Departnt!
Not many are interested in watching shows, let alone performing.
He was one of those exceptions who never once attended a party.
"Yeah, the Mid-Autumn Festival and the freshman party are combined. I can’t just eat for free. Let add you on WeChat to transfer the money; otherwise, I won’t eat these noodles at ease!"
Contrary to what he thought, she imdiately replied with determination.
Her expression was serious and firm!
"Alright then."
Seeing her stubbornness, Zhang Lingchuan opened his WeChat.
"Senior! This one!!"
Seeing him open a paynt code.
She tapped his phone’s back button, leading to the add contact QR code.
"8 yuan transferred via red envelope. I’m Li Ziqing; you can note it down and confirm the amount~"
Li Ziqing sent her na and a cute girl’s sticker to Zhang Lingchuan.
"No rush, we’re all classmates, and now you’re a WeChat friend too—it’s just a few bucks."
He’d thought he gave the wrong paynt code but let her go ahead, not expecting it to be adding a friend for a red envelope.
A matter of a few bucks, she adds you on WeChat to transfer; not much point in missing a few, right?
"True that, senior, you’re sharp~"
Li Ziqing nodded eagerly like a pecking chick, flashing her bright white teeth at Zhang Lingchuan.
"Your beef noodles are ready, you two!"
At this mont, the stall lady called out to them.
"Senior, it’s ready. Want to add any toppings?"
Li Ziqing promptly got up and moved Zhang Lingchuan’s large bowl of beef noodles forward, adding chili, scallions, and several big spoons of cilantro to her bowl.
Practically covering the small bowl.
"Hahaha, I can do it myself."
Zhang Lingchuan was shocked, this junior is a glutton for cilantro, causing the stall owner’s heartache!!
"Let get you chopsticks, senior."
Li Ziqing grabbed two pairs of chopsticks from the stall.
Extending a courtesy common among students.
"Alright, alright, thank you."
Soon, they sat down with the beef noodles.
"Senior, how co you’re eating alone? No seniors to accompany you?"
Li Ziqing asked with a slight smile while eating.
"There aren’t any seniors..."
Zhang Lingchuan replied with a bitter smile.
"Senior still doesn’t have a girlfriend? Could you be fooling us younger girls? You seem like you have a full pond!"
She looked up, half-seriously skeptical.
"No way, dating is too troubleso. I’d rather do a few more surgeries... So, junior, which departnt are you from? I rember our year, not many in the Agricultural Departnt wanted to perform, but you all seem proactive now."
Fooling younger girls is sothing Prince often does.
But he’s more principled.
Though he wasn’t too keen on personal questions, so he shifted the conversation to the school’s Mid-Autumn and freshman shows.
Back in their year, the Agricultural Departnt was pressured to perform, but no one wanted to, much to the advisor’s headache.
Seems like the juniors now are more enthusiastic.
Also, her posture looked quite disciplined.
"Senior, I’m from the Art School~"
Li Ziqing dabbed her mouth with a napkin and smiled while eating beef noodles.
