Jiang Yu did not care about what happened around her.
Back in her own world, although a loner by nature, she was the central pillar of her own friend group and was always being praised by everyone around her. She was used to being surrounded by people all the time and did not find it strange.
Jiang Ze Yu watched as she slowly nibbled on her piece of drumstick. Without a word, he dropped his drumstick onto her plate.
Jiang Yu looked puzzled.
“I don’t like drumsticks. Take it,” Jiang Ze Yu explained himself. “I have not taken a bite so it’s clean.”
Jiang Yu blinked. “Thank you.”
Jiang Ze Yu turned around and said haughtily, “I was just trying to not let it go to waste.”
Song Bi was confused.
Brother Yu, if you don’t like chicken drumsticks, then why did you order this dish?
Jiang Yu did not bother to question this any further though. An extra chicken drumstick had just appeared on her plate. Her eyes lit up and she began to eat faster.
Jiang Ze Yu kept quiet and just smiled.
Jiang Yu got through her first drumstick. Just as she was about to start on the second one, a thought struck her and she said, “Since you don’t like chicken drumsticks, how about I pay you for it starting tomorrow? How about twice the price?”
Jiang Ze Yu did not react, Jiang Yu thought he might not agree. She said, “Three times the price is fine. Just name your price.”
Jiang Ze Yu asked, “You mean to say, you want to have lunch with me again tomorrow?”
The question was a little odd but it was unfounded.
Jiang Yu nodded. “I guess so.”
“That settles it then,” Jiang Ze Yu said in a cheerful tone. “It’s just a chicken drumstick. It does not cost much, take it as a gift from me. You don’t have to pay for it.”
Song Bi: ‘Has Brother Yu lost his mind?’
Why is he being so nice to her?
Song Bi was not alone in this thought, all the boys sitting at the table were thinking the same thing. They looked like they had seen a miracle or a ghost.
This Brother Yu is an imposter, right?
“No, I don’t like to owe people.” frowned Jiang Yu. “Just treat this like an exchange, I will return the favor in the future.”
Jiang Ze Yu did not take Jiang Yu’s words seriously. After all, what could a little girl like her do?
When he looked into her eyes though, he was touched by how serious she looked.
A sudden irrational thought suddenly popped into his head.
He wanted to hear Jiang Yu call him ‘Big Brother’.
“Brother Yu,” Song Bi said as he pointed at Jiang Ze Yu as if he were a new continent he had discovered. “Why is your face all red?”
“Shut up!” Jiang Ze Yu touched his face and insisted, “There must be something wrong with your eyes!”
“But… Your ears are also red…”
Jiang Ze Yu, “Get lost!”
…
After lunch, Jiang Yu walked in front of Jiang Ze Yu, who was being followed from behind by the large group of boys.
Jiang Ze Yu noticed that Jiang Yu was heading towards the school gate instead of back to their class building. “Are you going out?”
“Yes, I need to get some medicine.”
“Medicine? Are you sick?”
Jiang Ze Yu seemed to be in perfect health. She was so strong that she had thrown him over her shoulder.
Jiang Yu was silent.
Jiang Ze Yu asked again, “Do you know where the pharmacy is?”
Jiang Yu fished her phone out. “I can look it up.”
Jiang Ze Yu looked at the address of the Chinese Pharmacy that appeared on her phone screen. It was quite a distance away from the school. He frowned, “It’s so far away. How were you planning to get there?”
“By taxi.”
“It’s dangerous for a girl to go out on her own. There are many cheats and liars out there. How would you know if the taxi driver is a good person or not?” Jiang Ze Yu dismissed her idea.
He sighed. “Ah, forget it. I have nothing to do now anyways. I will take you there.”
