Chapter 193: Chapter 16: Just Snatching Your Food_2

East Hall is mainly used by students as an indoor sports arena on rainy days, featuring a standard track, several indoor classrooms, equipped with table tennis tables, basketball hoops, various gymnastic facilities, and a range of chess and card entertainment setups.

The West Hall is frequently used by Xiao Xian and her friends. All the major indoor competitive sports of Sacred Heart Middle School are centralized there for training, and most of the school’s PE teachers’ offices are also located in the West Hall.

After receiving their student IDs, Xiao Xian and Zhang Yiyi left the sports field. At Zhang Yiyi’s request, they took a detour specifically to walk around the West Hall. Looking at the bright basketball court, Zhang Yiyi spoke in an especially dreamy voice, "If I could represent the school in the Beijing middle school student league, I bet my dad would be thrilled."

"I can see your dad loves you a lot, just a bit overprotective," teased Xiao Xian, knowing that all the parents waiting at the school gate shared the same sentiment.

Zhang Yiyi’s smile slowly faded, "My dad wasn’t like that before. He used to be very strict with me, but after he divorced my mom, he changed a lot. He almost didn’t let me play basketball."

"Now you’re enrolled as a special recruit for basketball, and you’re only in the first year of middle school; who knows, in three years, you might join the city’s middle school basketball team. The two of us together, you can play as a forward, and I as a point guard," encouraged Zhu Xiaoxian. Hearing this, Zhang Yiyi burst into laughter, and playfully punched Xiao Xian with her sweaty fist.

"I play forward and you as guard? Look at you, almost twisting your tongue. With your height, barely reaching 160 cm, you are hardly enough for a forward, let alone a guard." Zhang Yiyi thought Xiao Xian got in through connections, like herself, otherwise her height wouldn’t cut it in any school team.

"Wait and see," Xiao Xian retorted. Laughing heartedly, their laughter echoed throughout the West Hall.

The two chatted and laughed as they walked to the dormitory building. The junior department dormitory complex consists of five buildings, three for boys and two for girls. In the first year, girls were allocated to Building Two and boys to Building Five. The dormitories are designed in a ’品’ shape, with an artificially constructed green lake in the center.

Having taken a long detour around the West Hall, they arrived at Building Two just as the receptionist lady downstairs had gone to buy lunch. Feeling hungry, Zhang Yiyi suggested they go up to find their room to drop off their luggage, then head to the cafeteria for food.

In terms of adapting to campus life, Zhang Yiyi was much more familiar than Xiao Xian. She knew that each dormitory door would have the students’ names posted, usually grouping classmates in the same or adjacent rooms. Students with similar last name initials were more likely to be roomed together. Both their surnames start with ’Z’, so logically, they should share a room.

Following the room numbers floor by floor, they indeed found their names on room 206 on the second floor, their beds next to each other.

Sacred Heart’s dorms are quite spacious, four people per room; the upper bunk area serves as the bed, while the lower bunk is transformed into a study desk for each student, reportedly emulating the design of overseas universities, a standard that many domestic universities haven’t reached yet.

The other two people in the dormitory were from Tianjin. After introducing their names, they learned that they were cousins, both thirteen. The older cousin was Lin Xiang, and the younger Lin Ya. Their names had a story: when Lin Xiang was born, her crying was especially loud, while her sister sounded like a kitten. After deliberation, their parents named the older sister Lin Xiang and initially the younger sister Lin Ya, switching from an unpleasant sounding character.

Xiao Xian and Zhang Yiyi peeked from the side, feeling that the two cousins didn’t resemble each other at all, ignoring the facial features; the older sister spoke loudly, was slightly taller, about the same height as Xiao Xian. The younger sister had a squeaky voice, probably just over 150 cm.

After chatting for a while, Lin Xiang suggested they hurry to the cafeteria, praising the head chef’s great cooking skills. If they arrived late, they might not even get a grain of rice.

Both Xiao Xian and Zhang Yiyi loved their food, rushed to dump their luggage under their desks, and dashed to the cafeteria.

In the cafeteria of the junior department, only a few counters were still open. Zhang Yiyi, who loves meat, eagerly watched the chef scoop up the few remaining pieces of braised pork, and with the prowess of a seasoned general commanded, "Xiao Xian, I’ll get the food. You buy the rice and get the utensils. What do you want to eat?"

Her long legs carried her swiftly towards the counter serving braised pork.

"I’m not picky. Just remember to get some vegetables." Zhuo Feng and his wife had been finding ways to make Xiao Xian adapt to Beijing’s food and climate by altering their dishes; she had gradually become accustomed. However, her dietary habits from Ge Village were still more inclined towards vegetarianism.

"Okay, master, I want this, that, and that," commanded Zhang Yiyi, her fingers had already pointed out braised pork, ribbon fish, and braised eggplant.

"Master, one braised pork for me, and two pieces of that ribbon fish," interrupted two students at the counter, leisurely announcing their orders, cutting in front of Zhang Yiyi.

The cafeteria chef, always smiling, had a habit of giving an extra half-spoonful of food to adorable girls. The female students of Sacred Heart Middle School often complained that the chef made them gain a few pounds at the start of the school year.

But today, the chef was in trouble, regretting he had served extra braised pork and ribbon fish half an hour earlier. Now, with both groups standing together, how was he to divide the food?
