When Song Wen sees Gu Cheng, it looks like he has seen his family .

“Brother Cheng!”

Gu Cheng stops for a second and pa.s.ses him a bag in his hand with a little dislike: “Here are dishes packed for you . n.o.body has touched it . ”

Song Wen's eyes are close to brim with tears since he has taken a terrible beating from his parents, half of his living expense has been deducted and what's worse is that he missed the meals served by the canteen .

Poor Song Wen suffers from both hunger and a broken heart .

“Brother Cheng, from now on, you are family!”

Gu Cheng waves his hand: “Give me a break . I don't have a brother as dumb as you are . ”

Advertis.e.m.e.ntSong Wen: “ . . . ”

He has a piece of red-cooked pork in his mouth, hearing what Gu Cheng has said, and he mutters: “You go too far . We've been friends for two years . Do you hate me that much?”

“How come you only realize that now?”

Song Wen chews on a drumstick angrily and refuses to talk to Gu Cheng any more .

At this moment, Ah Zhao walks into the cla.s.sroom .

Her steps are light and she's humming a tune as she walks . Clearly, she's in a good mood .

Song Wen greets her when he sees her: “Did you go to the canteen for a meal? How do you like it?”

Ah Zhao gives it a thought and exclaims: “The students of our school are good runners . ”

Good runners they were . When the bell for the end of cla.s.s rang the cla.s.sroom turned empty before Ah Zhao realized what happened .

Song Wen is curious: “Weren't you in a hurry at lunch time in your previous school?”

Ah Zhao has no idea about that . She searches the memory that belongs to this body before she says: “Back then I wasn't a resident student so I ate at home . ”

Right now, she doesn't board at school either . She eats at school simply because she doesn't feel like going back home .

Song Wen lets out an “Ah” sound: “Then you didn't have a good lunch, did you?”

Though the food in the canteen of Second High isn't famous for its good taste, there are levels of bad tastes . For example, between pork with green peppers and boiled potatoes, everyone will choose the former, which leads to a situation where those who are there late won't have a chance to choose .

Ah Zhao smiles: “I met a very kind aunt who gave me sweet and sour spareribs and braised fish since she knew I was late . Oh, she gave me veges as well . ”

Song Wen: “ . . . ”

Sweet and sour spareribs? Braised fish?

He turns to a cla.s.smate by his side: “Is there anything as fancy as that in our school canteen?”

That cla.s.smate shakes his head: “In dreams, maybe . ”

Seeing that they don't believe her, Ah Zhao says hurriedly: “It was that forty-some chubby aunt who has a kind smile with curly short hair . Don't you know her?”

They recall that there is such a woman in the school canteen .

However, when Song Wen compares the aunt with a kind smile in Ah Zhao's word to that in his memory, he looks at the boy beside him face to face . Both boys see confusion in the other's eyes .

Is Ah Zhao talking about the ugly shrew who is in charge of the canteen of Second High, who has a penetrating voice when it comes to scolding, who sometimes gets food for the students herself and displays perfectly how to shake the ladle in a way that no student can get a piece of meat from her?

Having heard their description, Ah Zhao is shocked: “How come? She's a nice lady . ”

Song Wen is beyond grief and indignation: “How come she treats different people so differently?”

Ah Zhao thinks about it and says with a deep meaning: “That's why I told you to study hard and improve your grades . See, as a top student, I'm better off than you guys in any field . ”

Song Wen covers his chest without a word and feels sick at heart .

After that, one thing suddenly occurs to Ah Zhao: “Where's your homework? Let me see it . Do you have any problems?”

Song Wen: “ . . . ”

And Gu Cheng who is watching the fun by their side: “ . . . ”
