After I left home with a broken heart, my whole family begged me to come back

Chapter 38 Why can’t I come?

Xie Chen and Xu Lang exchanged glances, and neither of them said anything more.

Although they didn't know what the situation was like in Song Xue's family, they could tell a thing or two from their daily food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Besides, Song Xue was able to study in Jingzhou No. 1 Middle School because of her outstanding academic performance.

Because of her outstanding achievements, the school allocates her a scholarship every year.

It is thanks to this scholarship that Song Xue has been able to persevere until now.

Xie Chen and Xu Lang sat outside the infirmary, not knowing what to do.

Fortunately, Song Xue woke up quickly.

The school doctor did not charge them for the consultation. He told Song Xue to pay attention to improving her nutrition in the future, and then went on with his own business.

After leaving the infirmary, Song Xue thanked Xie Chen and Xu Lang a little embarrassedly, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Xu Lang waved his hand, "It's no trouble. We are all classmates. It's only natural for us to help each other."

Xie Chen's eyes moved slightly. He and Xu Lang were roommates, and he remembered that Xu Lang had mysophobia.

But just now, Song Xue fainted on the ground, and Xu Lang helped Song Xue pick her up without any hesitation.

Now, facing Song Xue's thanks, Xu Lang has this attitude again. Could it be that Xu Lang also likes Song Xue?
Xie Chen glanced at Xu Lang calmly and saw that Xu Lang's ears were slightly red.

"It's getting late, let's go have dinner together?" Xu Lang took the initiative to invite.

Song Xue quickly declined, "No... no need..."

She has no money to eat together. Will she go out to eat with Xie Chen and Xu Lang?

Others are splitting the bill, why is she so shameless?
"We are all classmates, don't be so polite." Xu Lang deliberately frowned, "Classmate Song Xue, do you look down on me, a poor student?"

Song Xue waved her hands, "No...nothing like that."

Although Xu Lang's grades are not the best, it would not be wrong to say that he is a poor student.

"Then let's go together!" Xu Lang raised his eyebrows. "Besides, with Xie Chen here, no one will gossip."

Song Xue was stunned for a moment. Did Xu Lang think that she didn't go to dinner with him because she was afraid of gossip?

"Let's go together!" Xie Chen smiled and looked at Song Xue.

Song Xue wanted to refuse, but her stomach started to growl.

At that moment, Song Xue's face turned as red as if blood was about to drip out.

Xie Chen and Xu Lang acted as if they didn't hear anyone, and sandwiched Song Xue on the left and right.

This time, Song Xue did not refuse and followed Xie Chen and Xu Lang to the cafeteria.

The two boys asked Song Xue to take up the seat, and then the two of them went to get their food.

They arrived not too late, and most of the students were still studying hard in the classroom, so the variety of meals was still quite complete.

Xie Chen and Xu Lang each ordered two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, and then went to get six servings of rice.

"Eat!" Xu Lang handed the chopsticks to Song Xue. "After eating, go to the classroom to study. The college entrance examination is coming soon. We can't waste time."

Song Xue took the chopsticks, thanked him in a low voice, and started eating.

At first, she was still a little hesitant. But she hadn't eaten since last night, and when she got home, Song Cai was touching her. She didn't eat anything at home, and she was already starving.

Slowly, she let go. Xu Lang and Xie Chen helped her, and she appreciated their kindness. When she becomes successful in the future, she will never forget their kindness.

Xu Lang and Xie Chen watched Song Xue eat with gusto. No one said anything, they just ate in silence.

Soon, the eight dishes and six bowls of rice on the table were all cleared out.

Song Xue finally regained some strength and said, "Thank you for treating me to dinner."

Song Xue pursed her lips and said, "I will pay you back later."

Although she said that, she is penniless now. This meal is enough to fill her up, but what about tomorrow?
"Okay, when you become rich, don't forget us." Xie Chen smiled faintly and stood up. "I'll take you back to the dormitory and put your things back."

Xu Lang also stood up and said, "You are still injured, so I'll go and take Song Xue away!"

Song Xue quickly refused, "I'm fine now, I don't need you to send me off, go study now!"

The college entrance examination is in two weeks. Time is money. She has already delayed the other party for so long, and it is really not right to continue wasting their time.

Seeing Song Xue's insistence, Xu Lang hesitated for a moment and then stood up, then looked at Xie Chen, "Xie Chen, do you want to go to the dormitory to rest for a while?"

Xie Chen nodded, "I'll go back to the dormitory and pack up."

He had a lot of valuables with him and he couldn't carry them with him all the time. It would be troublesome if he lost them.

"Then I'll go to the classroom." Xu Lang raised his hand and scratched his head, waved to Xie Chen and Song Xue, and walked out of the cafeteria quickly.

Seeing Xu Lang leave, Song Xue hesitated for a moment and spoke to Xie Chen in a low voice, "Xie Chen, I want to borrow some money from you..."

"I will pay you back." Song Xue seemed to be afraid that Xie Chen would refuse, and hurriedly made amends, "After the college entrance examination, I will go to work during the summer vacation..."

Before Song Xue finished her words, Xie Chen had already taken out a few pink bills and handed them to Song Xue, "Is that enough?"

Looking at the pink bills in front of her, Song Xue's eyes suddenly turned red.

Her biological mother didn't give her so much money at once, but Xie Chen, a stranger, was willing to trust her and lend her money.

"Enough...enough..." Song Xue took the money from Xie Chen with trembling hands and repeated, "I will pay you back."

Xie Chen nodded calmly, but didn't say anything like he didn't need to pay it back.

Born in a family like that, Song Xue is sensitive by nature. If he said that she didn't need to pay it back, she might not continue to lend him money.

"Then I'll go back to the dormitory first." Xie Chen nodded to Song Xue and walked out of the cafeteria.

Song Xue's current condition is somewhat out of control. She doesn't want others to see it, and she also has to learn to avoid it.

As soon as Xie Chen walked to the cafeteria entrance, he noticed a somewhat unscrupulous gaze falling on him. Turning around, he saw Lu Yuanyuan sitting in the corner with her legs crossed, drinking milk tea slowly.

Judging from Lu Yuanyuan's posture, it seemed that he had been sitting here for a long time.

Under Xie Chen's gaze, Lu Yuanyuan slowly stood up and walked towards Xie Chen.

"Why did Miss Lu come to school today?" Xie Chen frowned, a little curious.

Today is Saturday, and Lu Yuanyuan doesn't live on campus. What is she doing here at school?
"Why can't I come to school?" Lu Yuanyuan's words were full of hostility. "Did I disturb your good thing?"

"Miss Lu, I don't seem to be anyone to you." Xie Chen was also a little unhappy. Lu Yuanyuan's attitude of accusing him made it seem like his real girlfriend had caught him cheating.
