Rebirth: At the beginning, the cool school beauty was caught stealing in the supermarket

Chapter 514 The prelude to Maple begins
"Drip drip."

The phone rang again.

Lu Yuanqiu: She doesn't know these things, and you shouldn't ask her too much. Her experiences are more difficult than you can imagine, so I don't want her to know about these things now.

After reading the message, Zheng Yifeng looked up at Lu Yuanqiu and nodded slightly, suppressing his shock.

The sounds of people eating noodles next to them seemed to have stopped for a long time. The two turned their heads and realized that Long Liandong's chopsticks had been resting on the rim of her bowl at some point.

Long Liandong was coldly scrutinizing the two of them, her expression as if asking: Have you finished talking?

"Beep beep beep~" Zheng Yifeng lowered his head to send a message again, and Lu Yuanqiu also lowered his head to look at his phone.

Long Liandong: "..."

Zheng Yifeng: Will her father know about my father?

Lu Yuanqiu: Perhaps. Her father has mentioned your father when he is occasionally lucid. Their relationship seems to be unusual, but her father is recovering and cannot communicate normally for the time being.

"Crack!"

Hearing a noise from the side, Lu Yuanqiu turned his head and saw that Long Liandong had broken a disposable chopstick in half with her right hand.

Seeing this, Lu Yuanqiu smiled stiffly: "These chopsticks are really brittle, they break with the slightest touch..."

Long Liandong stared at him and said, "Yes, they're very fragile; they die as soon as they're killed."

After she finished speaking, she threw the broken chopsticks into the trash can and got herself a new pair of chopsticks.

"Ahem..." Lu Yuanqiu raised his hand to touch his neck, then turned to Zheng Yifeng opposite him and said sternly, "Don't you have any manners? There's someone else here, what are you doing sending messages on your phone?!"

Zheng Yifeng glanced at the girl: "...Sorry."

Long Liandong expressionlessly took her phone from Zheng Yifeng, pressed the power button, and put it in her bag.

Lu Yuanqiu watched this scene, wanting to say something but holding back. He still wanted Long Liandong to send him the group photo from the 100-day celebration...

But this girl seems a little angry.

...I don't know if there was too much vinegar or too much spice in the noodles today, but Long Liandong's stomach is getting more and more painful as she eats them.

Sitting in front of a boy and taking the initiative to bring up childhood stories in order to get closer to him... For her personality, this is already quite daring.

Maybe she really isn't good at chatting, and isn't suited to making friends.

So even unforgettable childhood memories sound extremely awkward coming from her mouth, just as her grandfather said, she couldn't let go of her pride.

In her opinion, bringing up those things was no different from confessing her feelings, and she figured Lu Yuanqiu would find her strange today.

But even though she was so proactive today, the two of them completely ignored her after they discovered that "Bai Qingxia's father was also in the group photo," and chatted on their phones right in front of her.

It would be a lie to say I'm not angry.

But Long Liandong's personality didn't allow her to express her anger, nor did she explain why she was angry. She quickly ate a few bites of noodles, finished them, and then stood up with her bag.

"You...you've left?" Lu Yuanqiu politely raised his head to greet him, after all, the other party had taken the initiative to give a birthday gift, which was quite sincere.

Long Liandong turned to look at him, paused for a moment, and said, "I will contact you on your birthday."

"Thanks. By the way, what's your birthday? Would you mind telling me?"

Lu Yuanqiu stood up, politely asked her, and took out his phone, smiling at her, "I'll save your contact information, it's easy to forget."

Bai Qingxia looked up from inside the shop.

Long Liandong stared at Lu Yuanqiu for a while before saying, "You attended my birthday party before, when you were five and six years old."

Lu Yuanqiu: "Huh? Sorry, I forgot... I have a bad memory." ...Who the hell would remember something from when I was five or six years old, Lu Yuanqiu thought to himself.

Long Liandong looked at him without saying a word, then turned and left with a cold expression.

Seeing Lu Yuanqiu sit down, Zheng Yifeng asked, "Is she angry?"

"That's not certain, considering we chatted on the phone for so long in front of her."

Lu Yuanqiu put his phone in his pocket, turned his head to look at Bai Qingxia, who was startled and picked up a rag with evasive eyes, then lowered her head to wipe the table.

She can't hide anything on her face, how can she be the little princess of the White Rhinoceros...?

"You should go back first," Lu Yuanqiu said to Zheng Yifeng.

Watching Lu Yuanqiu walk towards Bai Qingxia, Zheng Yifeng turned back and glanced at Zhong Jincheng, where the two were sitting in a corner chatting enthusiastically.

I wonder what Su Miaomiao is doing right now...

She was probably playing a guerrilla war with her parents, so Su Miaomiao was very irritable lately, like a powder keg ready to explode at any moment. Zheng Yifeng didn't even dare to talk to her.

He shook his head and sighed, preparing to return to his dormitory.

Hopefully, Su Miaomiao will be safe and sound when she goes home this weekend, at least she can calm down the two elderly people.

Zheng Yifeng was ready to meet those two rigid university professors. If this were a novel, that meeting would be the final boss battle, right?
Will it win?
Lu Yuanqiu walked in front of Bai Qingxia. Bai Qingxia looked up at him, put down the rag, and then saw a student coming from behind Lu Yuanqiu. She raised her hand and ruthlessly pushed Lu Yuanqiu away.

Lu Yuanqiu: "???"

Lu Yuanqiu made five or six small gestures to ease the awkwardness within ten seconds, all of which Bai Qingxia caught out of the corner of her eye, but she pretended not to see them.

"What do you want?"

"Spicy with egg."

Seven pieces.

Just as Lu Yuanqiu was about to speak when the middle-aged male owner of the shop across the street suddenly changed the music to "Maple Leaf." Bai Qingxia listened to it with a natural expression, indicating that the owner had played it many times in the restaurant before.

Lu Yuanqiu asked the shop owner in surprise, "Uncle, aren't you a fan of JJ Lin? Why are there Jay Chou's songs on the playlist?"

The uncle in the shop across the street was a goofball; he shook his head and replied, "How exciting is cheating?"

Lu Yuanqiu: "Uh..."

Bai Qingxia blinked upon hearing this and looked at Lu Yuanqiu. Lu Yuanqiu was also looking at her when he suddenly coughed and changed the subject: "...Every time the intro to Maple plays, I remember all the things that have happened between us from high school until now."

Bai Qingxia's eyes widened in surprise, and she puffed out her cheeks with an "Oh."

Seeing that she looked happy, Lu Yuanqiu said, "Long Liandong said she would give me a birthday present."

"Bang, bang, bang!" Bai Qingxia's chopsticks suddenly tapped against the side of the pot three times, the sound seemingly louder than usual. She put the chopsticks aside, tore open the seasoning packet and added it in, only then remembering to respond to Lu Yuanqiu: "Isn't this fine?"

"She said she would give it to me as a friend, and I agreed. Otherwise, I wouldn't accept it so easily. I'm not that kind of man."

As Lu Yuanqiu spoke, he carefully helped her throw the trash next to the stove into the trash can, and glanced up at the expression on her face.

Bai Qingxia asked, "What is she going to give you...?"

"I don't know, I just accept whatever she gives me. I even asked her when her birthday is. Since she gave me a gift, I should reciprocate, right?"

"Why are you asking me? How would I know..."
