Chapter 727: Chapter 725: Elegance_1

Just like those boys who tried to chase after Muxia before.

But it won’t do!

This time the girl was obviously serious, otherwise she wouldn’t have cooked despite being injured.

If he forcefully broke them up, Muxia would definitely be furious with him.

Worse, she might even break off their friendship.

Therefore, he had to break them up quietly, and use this opportunity to subtly solidify his place in Muxia’s heart, making it clear that he was the one truly suited for her.

Not Xu Zeming, that heartless clod!

Once he figured it out, Jiang Qingchen calmed down considerably.

"All right, let’s continue eating," Jiang Qingchen said as he took his seat again and considerately handed the girl a spoon, making it easier for her to eat with her left hand.

"Right, let’s eat, Xu, you should eat too..." Muxia said as she took the spoon and gave Xu Zeming a shy smile.

Xu Zeming smiled and nodded.

The girl normally had no image when eating, but this time she ate with exceptional grace, taking small bites and frequently wiping the corners of her lips with a napkin.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Qingchen couldn’t help but sneer inwardly, knowing exactly why she was doing this.

She really was good at pretending, not knowing who it was that ate like a pig every time, and after eating, she would either wipe her mouth directly with her sleeve or the tablecloth.

Yes, don’t let Muxia’s innocent, first-love face fool you; her behavior was anything but, being both lazy and slovenly, sometimes leaving her underclothes and stockings tossed around the room.

A veritable nightmare girlfriend in the eyes of men!

Muxia usually ate a lot, but to maintain her image, she stopped after eating just a little this time, not wanting Xu to think she was a pig.

"You’re not eating anymore?" Jiang Qingchen couldn’t help but frown when he saw her put down the spoon.

Muxia nodded, "Mhm, I’m not eating anymore, I’m full."

"Full?" Jiang Qingchen’s face darkened immediately, his tone quite poor, "Don’t you usually eat two bowls of rice? Now you’re full after just half a bowl?"

Doesn’t this guy know she’s at a critical period of growth and development? What if she doesn’t eat enough and ends up underdeveloped?

Is appearance more important than health?

"Who... who eats two bowls of rice!" Muxia’s face instantly turned a deep red, almost as if she could bleed.

Really, this Jiang Qingchen, why did he have to expose her like this!

That’s it, Xu will definitely think she’s a pig; otherwise, how could a girl eat so much!

"Is Muxia embarrassed to eat with people she isn’t very familiar with? It’s okay, just eat, don’t starve yourself. The school store is closed today, and if you’re not full, there won’t be anything to eat later," Xu Zeming said with a gentle smile.

"I really am full, Xu. I’ve always had a small appetite; don’t listen to Jiang Qingchen’s nonsense," Muxia said with a flushed face, glaring at the culprit before shyly saying to Xu, "Xu, I still have homework I haven’t done, I’ll go back to the classroom first."

"Then you should head back," Xu Zeming believed she was truly full and didn’t say anything more.

Jiang Qingchen let out a heavy snort and also left the cafeteria.

"Aren’t you eating either?" Xu Zeming looked at him.

Jiang Qingchen didn’t respond.

During lunch break, Muxia lay listlessly on the desk, her intestines twisting and making protesting noises.

Hungry!

So hungry!

If only she hadn’t put on airs at noon.

Now, she was nearly starving to death.

I started to feel a bit dizzy.

"Muxia, what’s wrong with you?" My tablemate, just back from the cafeteria, immediately cast a concerned look at me.

With a listless voice, Muxia said, "I’m so hungry, do you have any snacks?"

"I finished them all this morning." Tablemate helplessly showed the empty desk cubby to her and then asked, "By the way, I didn’t see you at the cafeteria today. Didn’t you go there for lunch?"

"I did, but I didn’t get enough to eat." Muxia whimpered and flopped back down onto her desk.

I so regretted not eating more!

If I could do it all over again, I definitely wouldn’t pretend to be so delicate.

Tablemate: "What about your lunchbox, didn’t you bring food?"

"Don’t even mention it, someone ate it all." Muxia felt gloomy just bringing it up.

But then she thought of how Jiang Qingchen bought her medicine and applied it, and her gloominess immediately vanished.

I’ll consider us even.

"You can’t go on being so hungry. How about I go get you some hot water to fill you up?" Saying so, tablemate took the thermos from her desk and went out to fetch water for her.

"Thanks a lot!" Muxia said with a grateful face.

No sooner had tablemate stepped out than Jiang Qingchen came in carrying a huge bunch of stuff.

"You got the water that quickly?" Muxia was about to remark on tablemate’s speed when she realized that the person standing in front of her wasn’t the tablemate but Jiang Qingchen.

And he was holding a bunch of snacks, jellies, bread, fruit boxes, yogurt, and so on and so forth...

At this, Muxia knew without doubt it was he who worried she was going hungry.

"Chen, you truly live up to being my not full-blooded big brother, you’re too good to me!" The girl who was just pouting moments ago was suddenly radiant, excitedly hugging the snacks.

Jiang Qingchen didn’t give her a happy response.

"Chen, how much did the snacks cost? I’ll pay you back," the girl said, reaching for her wallet.

"No need." Jiang Qingchen finally spoke, his dark eyes intently fixed on her, mixing warning with concern, "Don’t eat so little again in the future. You should know that growing your body is important right now, otherwise, be careful you don’t develop properly!"

As he spoke, his gaze unintentionally swept over her, laden with meaning.

At once, Muxia instinctively lowered her head. At first, she didn’t realize what he meant, but her face quickly turned as red as a tomato.

Ah! What a rascal!

In her mind, Muxia cursed Jiang Qingchen, but after calming down, she reconsidered his warning. It wasn’t rascally; it was for her own good!

Indeed, excessive dieting could lead to improper development.

While she wasn’t particularly short among her peers, she certainly wasn’t tall, either. And in other respects, being quite thin, she didn’t quite measure up.

If she didn’t start eating properly, she might always lag behind...

By then, even Xu might look down on her!

Whimpering.

I’ll never skimp on meals again!

Right there and then, Muxia made up her mind.

When tablemate returned, seeing the array of snacks on the table, he couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise, "Wow, where did all these snacks come from?"

"They’re from my Chen," Muxia said, lifting her chin, her tone filled with pride and joy she herself hadn’t noticed.

"Jiang Qingchen is really good to you," tablemate said enviously, handing her the water from the thermos, then suddenly remembered something, "But Muxia, the school store was clearly closed, and we’re not allowed to go out. How did he get all these snacks?"
