Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

However, as soon as Lin Dong caught sight of the breakfast being sold at the nearby stall, his expression transformed into one of intense craving. His eyes practically gleamed with hunger, and he couldn’t help but salivate at the mouthwatering sight.

At that moment, Chu Qing realized that Lin Dong hadn’t changed a bit from his previous life. He was still excessively fond of food, which made Chu Qing wonder why Lin Dong had such an insatiable appetite and remained overweight.

However, when Chu Qing smelled the fragrance, he also could not help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

The stall at the entrance sold meat buns. Next to a display of vegetables, there was a stainless steel pot filled with simmering pork belly and aromatic spices. Whenever a customer ordered meat buns, the boss would slice some meat and place it inside the bun. He would also add fresh coriander and green peppers for an extra kick of flavor.

A sudden recollection crossed Chu Qing’s mind. During his school days, he used to buy a meat bun every morning. If not a meat bun, then a scallion pancake would be his choice. Such stalls were quite popular among students as they offered convenience without wasting time.

When Chu Qing was in his third year of high school in his previous life, he would buy breakfast at the stall at the entrance every day and bring a portion for Tang Ziyan.

It was such a beautiful memory…

…..
Without realizing it, Chu Qing started to compare the memories of his past life to his current one. As a result, he became extremely cautious and frequently contemplated various matters. He even kept his distance from classmates who were the same age as him.

Only Lin Dong and a few others didn’t mind Chu Qing’s coldness and made friends with him as usual.

Seriously, I’m only 18 years old. Why do I always feel like an old man?

Chu Qing suddenly thought of something and couldn’t help but smile.

Lin Dong had already bought them there. He had bought three meat buns in one go. Could he finish them all?

“Hey, Lin Dong.”

“Yea?”

Lin Dong eagerly unwrapped a steamed meat bun and began devouring it, completely disregarding his appearance. Chu Qing couldn’t help but feel a bit bewildered by Lin Dong’s carefree attitude. He couldn’t help but wonder how Zhou Jiajia could have feelings for someone like Lin Dong…

Was it possible that the notion of “chubby girls are cute” from his previous life had somehow transformed into “chubby boys are cute”?

“You bought so much. You can’t finish it, right? Give me one…”

Chu Qing let out a chuckle and was tempted to grab one of the meat buns. It was a common practice among students to snatch food from each other, as the items they grabbed always seemed to taste better than what they had bought for themselves.

“No! I can give you money to buy some, but these are all for me!”

Seeing that Chu Qing was trying to snatch his meat buns, Lin Dong’s eyes widened as if he was going to risk his life to protect them.

Chu Qing scratched his head. “You can finish three meat buns?”

“No.” Lin Dong shook his head and said, “1’11 eat two and give one to Zhou Jiajia.”

“Forget it. Stuff yourself to death…”

Lin Dong shrugged nonchalantly.

He mumbled about how eating was a blessing…

Chu Qing also bought two meat buns. One was for himself, and the other was for Tang Ziyan.

As it was still early, he went straight to Tang Ziyan’s classroom and placed a meat bun on her table. After thinking about it, Chu Qing even left her a note.

Tang Ziyan’s classmates were taken aback. Wasn’t this the boy whom Tang Ziyan was rumored to have a crush on? Could it be that the two of them were now in a relationship?

In contrast, Chu Qing appeared unperturbed. After jotting down the note, he casually turned around and departed with an air of coolness.

Due to being in their third year of high school, many students had limited time to have breakfast outside. As a result, numerous students would purchase breakfast and bring it to school to consume. They would often eat during the morning self-study period, a practice tacitly permitted by the teachers. In general, the teachers tended to be understanding and accommodating towards the students’ needs.

Chu Qing unwrapped the meat bun, and the fragrance instantly filled the entire classroom. At this moment, there were already many people in the classroom. Many people were eating, but when Chu Qing was eating, many girls still looked at him curiously, making him feel uncomfortable.

What’s wrong with me eating a meat bun… ?

At that moment, Chu Qing noticed a group of girls whispering and conversing at the back of the classroom. Intrigued, he swiftly perked up his ears, attempting to eavesdrop on their conversation.

“I never thought Chu Qing would eat that kind of food. Isn’t he the school belle?”

“Yeah, you’re right. I’ve never seen him eat that before. 1 always thought he was above such earthly things…”

“That’s odd. Why would the school belle need to eat? Does she also have to use the bathroom…”

Pfft!

Chu Qing couldn’t hold it in anymore. He coughed violently and almost choked.

“Look, it’s true. He’s not used to it,” a girl whispered from behind.

“Bullsh*t! I’m very used to eating!”

Chu Qing stood up and glared at the girls. The girls touched their heads and dispersed like birds..
