Chapter 294: Chapter 294: Heating Up Again

In those few seconds of hesitation, Jiang Mianmian had already taken Yu Cheng into the kitchen, and she had no choice but to queue up to get her meal.

Just as Jiang Mianmian got her food, the next second Yu Cheng naturally reached out and took it from her.

Jiang Mianmian didn’t stand on ceremony with him and asked the chef. “Uncle, a friend came to visit me. Could I borrow a set of utensils, please?”

“Sure, they’re over there. You can go get them yourself,” the chef pointed to a spot inside the kitchen and let her fetch them.

Jiang Mianmian got a plate, cleaned it, and then went to line up to get her food.

However, the chef came over proactively and said, “Little Prodigy, come, uncle will serve you.”

Every time Jiang Changhai would bring rice and meat for Jiang Mianmian, he would always give something to him as well.

“Thank you, uncle,” Jiang Mianmian handed over her plate and said politely.

The chef glanced at the tall and thin Yu Cheng and purposely served a big portion, then handed it back to Jiang Mianmian.

The two found an empty table in the dining hall and sat down.

It wasn’t appropriate for her to take Yu Cheng to the office to eat, and Zhaodi was coming along with her, which would disturb the teachers’ rest too much.

Soon after, the two boys and Zhaodi also came back with their food.

Zhiwu hurriedly took the empty seat next to Yu Cheng, and Zhaodi, arriving a bit late, could only sit across from them next to Zhiwen.

Jiang Mianmian pushed her food container forward slightly, “I have some meat here, let’s all eat together.”

“Wow, there’s meat, thank you, Mianmian,” the two boys were happy to see there was meat to eat, not caring where it came from.

Only Zhaodi pretended to be puzzled and asked, “Third Sister, where did this meat come from?”

“My dad sent it over. He asked the canteen chef to cook it for me.”

As she spoke, Jiang Mianmian handed her rice to Yu Cheng, “Brother Yu, you eat this.”

Since a guest had come a long way to see her, she had to make sure to take good care of him.

“You eat, I’m good with this one.”

Yu Cheng pushed the rice back to her and picked up the coarse grains in front of her, starting to eat heartily.

The two boys, hearing the meat was sent by Uncle, were both happy to partake and also admired Jiang Mianmian’s meals.

Only Zhaodi, looking at the food in Jiang Mianmian’s container, had a flash of gloom in her eyes.

No wonder San Ya always hid in the office to eat, apparently fearing others seeing her get special treatment with such good food.

The fourth graders said she had been eating in the office since last semester. Surely she had been eating meat at school from early on.

Meanwhile, they had to eat chaff and vegetables at home; the world really is too unfair.

Although Zhaodi felt indignant inside, she had learned to control her facial expressions very well by now.

Instead of showing any jealousy, she looked at Jiang Mianmian with envy, “Third Sister, Uncle is really good to you, fearing that you wouldn’t eat well at school, he even made a special trip to send you all these nice things.”

Zhaodi thought she had hidden it well, but Yu Cheng, due to his family circumstances, was very sensitive to others’ emotions and expressions. Though it was just a moment, he had noticed it.

Yu Cheng looked meaningfully at Zhaodi, which made her heart suddenly flare up with warmth.

Using her sweetest voice, she asked, “Big Brother Yu, is it cold now in the Capital City? Has your school started yet? How long can you stay this time?”

Unexpectedly, Yu Cheng responded, “Eat, do not talk; sleep, do not speak.”

What does that mean?

Zhaodi wore a clearly confused expression on her face.
