Chapter 1636: Chapter 1636: School Begins, Military Training (Part 18)
In this era, universities do not provide lunch boxes for als; students must bring their own. Jiaojiao and Duan Xi’s lunch boxes are kept on Jiaojiao’s side, so Jiaojiao returned to the dormitory first.
When Jiaojiao returned to the dormitory, she saw Cao Qiu sitting at the table with her back to her. As soon as Jiaojiao ca in, Cao Qiu imdiately stood up, seemingly trying to hide sothing with her body.
However, since Cao Qiu’s figure was not big enough, Jiaojiao saw it while retrieving sothing from her own cabinet.
It was a familiar scene—she saw a few buns and a bottle on Cao Qiu’s desk, which seed to contain so sauce.
Seeing Jiaojiao looking over at her, Cao Qiu’s face turned red with embarrassnt and she appeared a bit at a loss.
Jiaojiao quickly averted her gaze as if she hadn’t seen anything, and asked, “Sister Cao Qiu, where are Sister Que and Sister Wenjing?”
“They just took their lunch boxes to the cafeteria,” Cao Qiu said with a sigh of relief. She paused and then added, “Jiaojiao, I just went to the cafeteria. I got you so hot water. You don’t need to go get it yourself.”
The school’s hot water is provided in a water room next to the cafeteria, as the dormitory does not supply hot water. The instructor had just reminded them of this. If Cao Qiu hadn’t ntioned it, Jiaojiao would’ve forgotten herself.
Upon hearing Cao Qiu’s words, Jiaojiao imdiately went to check her thermos. Not only was it filled with water, but her na and class were also written on it, which touched her deeply. She said to Cao Qiu, “Sister Cao Qiu, thank you, you’re so kind.”
“Mmhm, it’s nothing, go ahead and eat,” Cao Qiu replied nonchalantly.
Jiaojiao nodded. Although her heart was full of gratitude, she knew that Cao Qiu might be in difficult circumstances, similar to Yang Xiaona back in the day. Still, she didn’t presumptuously say anything beyond expressing her thanks and then took her lunch box and left.
There are several cafeterias in the school, spread in different directions. Jiaojiao and Duan Xi went to the North Cafeteria, which was closer to their dormitory.
At this hour, the cafeteria was already serving als. It was Jiaojiao’s first real experience eating in the cafeteria, and she felt a bit excited. At this ti, there were no al cards yet; they were given al tickets during the morning registration, with denominations of ten cents, twenty cents, fifty cents, and the largest being one yuan.
Given the living standards of the ti, a al wouldn’t cost one yuan.
Jiaojiao and Duan Xi’s lunch boxes had already been sterilized with hot water at ho and were ready for use. As soon as she entered the cafeteria, whether by coincidence or not, she saw Li Que and Liang Wenjing sitting at the outermost table having their al.
Li Que waved her arm enthusiastically upon seeing her, “Little One, Little One, over here.”
Seeing this, Jiaojiao imdiately pulled Duan Xi over.
Duan Xi’s gaze swept over Li Que and Liang Wenjing, and Li Que, under his gaze, felt her raised arm turn rigid. She felt like she was being stared at by a beast, inexplicably making her shiver.
“Sister Que, Sister Wenjing, what a coincidence,” Jiaojiao said with a smile.
Li Que awkwardly withdrew her arm, forced a smile, and cautiously glanced at the person beside Jiaojiao. She covered her mouth with one hand and whispered, “Little One, who is this?”
Jiaojiao held onto Duan Xi’s arm and introduced them confidently, “Brother Xi, this is my roommate. This is Li Que from the Sports Departnt, and this is Liang Wenjing from the Chinese Departnt.”
“Sister Que, Sister Wenjing, this is Duan Xi from the Computer Science Departnt.”
Li Que didn’t know why she felt an inexplicable sense of unease regarding Duan Xi.
