After being reborn, I gained a childhood sweetheart who appeared out of nowhere.

"It's for our water bill." Chen Xiyu took out ten yuan and handed it over.

Despite the other party's straightforward offer, Lin Chuan didn't take it. "Never mind, the buns you gave me were quite delicious. I'll leave the water free."

"Then I'm at a loss? The steamed buns I bought were very expensive." Chen Xiyu blinked at her.

Lin Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly. "So, if that's the case, all my hard work yesterday was for nothing?"

"That was your own choice."

"I'd better be truly willing," Lin Chuan replied.

Watching the two bickering, Liu Hao stood awkwardly in the middle, holding two bottles of drinks, at a loss for what to do.

He regretted it a little; he should have known better than to rush to deliver the water.

In fact, not only the boys in her class, but also many students from other classes wanted to give Chen Xiyu water, but no one offered it right away, since it was easy to be rejected.

Liu Hao felt that since they were classmates, he should cherish the opportunity to be close to them. Now he really wanted to find a crack to squeeze in, so he could only leave in a sorry state when no one was paying attention.

The break time was over, and everyone began the relatively monotonous military training again. This morning, Class 5 basically practiced military posture, but the effect was quite obvious. When it was almost over, Instructor Liu looked at everyone's fairly upright military posture and was very satisfied.

At the head coach's dismissal whistle, all the students lined up on the playground scattered and headed towards the cafeteria, since everyone was hungry after training all morning.

The high school students, still in class, could only sigh helplessly as they watched hordes of "military officers" rushing into the cafeteria, knowing they would only be able to eat leftovers for lunch.

Lin Chuan and Wang Xu were walking towards the cafeteria when they heard someone say, "Eating?"

The two of them turned around at the same time, and Chen Xiyu and Zhou Yun were standing behind them.

"Mm." Lin Chuan nodded.

"Together?"

Lin Chuan looked at Wang Xu, "Going?"

Wang Xu paused for a moment, then said "Oh," and "Okay."

The group went to the cafeteria together, and they ran into Zhao Jiajia right at the entrance. Cheng Xue and Liu Hao were following behind her. The first two looked like they had just started dating, and Liu Hao probably had shamelessly come over.

"Class monitor, are you having lunch?" Zhao Jiajia asked with a smile.

"Otherwise what?" Lin Chuan asked, puzzled. They were already at the cafeteria entrance, so why ask such a question?

Zhao Jiajia chuckled and looked at Chen Xiyu. "Hello, my name is Zhao Jiajia."

"Chen Xiyu," Chen Xiyu replied with a smile.

"Since we've run into each other, let's have dinner together?" Zhao Jiajia was very outgoing.

Lin Chuan didn't have any objections. He looked at the people around him, and since no one else had any objections, he agreed.

"I have something to do, I'm going back to the dorm first," Cheng Xue suddenly said.

"Hey, what's wrong? Why did something suddenly happen?" Zhao Jiajia asked in surprise. They had just agreed to have dinner together.

Cheng Xue didn't explain much, just said sorry to her, and then turned to leave.

"No matter what, we still need to eat. Come on, let's eat first." Zhao Jiajia grabbed her and led her inside.

As he passed by Lin Chuan, he felt that the other person seemed to glance at him.

The school cafeteria has two floors. The first floor offers a variety of regular dishes, including both meat and vegetables, which you can mix and match as you like. The second floor offers various set meals, which are naturally more expensive.

Lin Chuan only had ten yuan for food today. He spent three yuan on water, so he had seven yuan left. He had less than four yuan left for this meal. It was the first day of school, and he was really living frugally.

A group of people ordered food on the first floor. Lin Chuan's four yuan couldn't even buy a cheap meat and vegetable dish, so when he got the food, he ordered a tofu dish and a corn and ham dish, which, along with rice, came to exactly four yuan.

He had calculated it perfectly. He found a bench by the window and sat down. The six seats were just right. Lin Chuan sat opposite Chen Xiyu, next to Wang Xu and Liu Hao, and three girls were sitting opposite him.

The table, which was originally meant for four people, suddenly transformed into a scene resembling a group meal.

Because Liu Hao failed to deliver water in the morning, he was too embarrassed to chat with Chen Xiyu during the meal. He tried to talk to Cheng Xue next to him, but Cheng Xue gave him a few indifferent replies while eating, which made him feel a little awkward. In the end, he could only lower his head and eat.

"Is your tofu delicious?" Chen Xiyu asked, sitting across from me.

Lin Chuan gasped. "Friend, are you trying to take advantage of me in public?"

"Do you have any tofu to eat?" Chen Xiyu grinned. "I'm talking about your dishes."

Lin Chuan shrugged. "Why don't you just try it and see?"

Chen Xiyu didn't stand on ceremony, picked up a piece of tofu, took a bite, and said, "It tastes alright, your tofu."

Since the other person started eating first, Lin Chuan didn't stand on ceremony and directly picked up a piece of duck meat from the other person's plate. This is basic etiquette for high school students. If you've taken advantage of me, oh no, I mean, if you've taken advantage of me, you should definitely eat it back.

I must say, the duck meat in the cafeteria is really good; it's much more fragrant than their tofu.

"I created a class group chat, remember to join when you have time," Lin Chuan said to the others.

"A class group chat?" Zhao Jiajia asked curiously. "When was it created?"

"During the break in military training, the students were already asked to help each other." Lin Chuan took out his old cell phone.

After clicking, there's a very simple interface with flashing QQ avatars. I clicked in and saw that I'd already added more than twenty people, and I reckon I'll be full by tonight.

"If the homeroom teacher has anything to convey, I will also say it in the class group, so that you can find me more easily," Lin Chuan said.

"The class monitor is very thoughtful." Zhao Jiajia gave a thumbs up.

After finishing their meal, everyone walked out of the cafeteria together. Only Lin Chuan and Chen Xiyu walked in front, chatting about something, while the others intentionally or unintentionally lagged behind.

"Hey, do you guys think the class monitor is lying?" Zhao Jiajia suddenly said in a low voice.

"What lie?" Wang Xu asked.

"Do you believe they're just ordinary neighbors?" Zhao Jiajia asked mysteriously.

"I remember the two of them didn't recognize each other when they first met, right?" Liu Hao said. He had found out this because if it wasn't true, those two were being too intimate, and he couldn't accept it.

"I think there's definitely something going on between them. They even ate each other's food," Wang Xu said. "And to be honest, I've never seen Lao Lin be that close to a girl before."

"I knew you were on my side," Zhao Jiajia said happily, patting Wang Xu on the shoulder.

Wang Xu chuckled after being praised.

"Eating a bite of food doesn't mean anything," Liu Hao said, pursing his lips.

"How about we make a bet?" Zhao Jiajia suggested.

Lin Chuan, who was walking in front, was unaware of what the people behind him were chatting about. Suddenly, he sneezed. He turned his head in confusion and looked around. He felt a chill down his spine and had a feeling that something was watching him.
