A strange triangular relationship had formed…

Ms. Su couldn’t help but be thoroughly amused by Yu Yuanyuan’s innocent and clueless demeanor. Turning her head, she quickly stifled a laugh before putting on a serious face again. She then led Wen Zifei away to clean up the mess on his clothes.

“Yuanyuan, don’t worry about him. Hurry up and eat before your food gets cold,” Gu Beiyan called out, patting the empty seat next to him in an enthusiastic invitation.

But just as he settled in, he turned to find that Yu Yuanyuan had already obediently sat down next to Chu Qi on the other side.

In that moment, Gu Beiyan felt like the very air was mocking him.

“Yuanyuan, Wen Zifei just likes to pick on others, so you should be careful around him…” Chu Qi said in a refined tone, her eating habits already showing an elegance that seemed far beyond her age. Many of the other kids were the same.

Their backgrounds were special, and naturally, they came from strict households where good manners were taught from a young age.

But when Chu Qi turned her head, she noticed something different—Yu Yuanyuan seemed to have unlocked a hidden ability.

She was devouring her food with both hands, using a spoon to swiftly pick apart everything on her plate. Any edible piece was immediately shoveled into her mouth. Within minutes, her little lips were glossy with oil, and her wide eyes gazed at the food with an almost comical affection, her expression one of pure satisfaction.

Chu Qi had barely finished one section of her plate, while Yu Yuanyuan was already letting out a little burp, clearly full. She gave a contented sigh, patted her small belly, and her eyes squinted into happy little slits.

How wonderful! Yuanyuan thought. She had just discovered how delicious the kindergarten’s food was, and her opinion of it instantly skyrocketed by +10,000 points.

“Yuanyuan… are you okay?” Chu Qi asked, holding her spoon in disbelief.

Having savored the last traces of her meal, Yu Yuanyuan blinked and smiled, her oily mouth curling up. “I’m fine! Why?”

As she spoke, her eyes drifted toward Chu Qi’s plate, and something seemed to sparkle in her gaze.

When Chu Qi didn’t move her spoon for several seconds, Yu Yuanyuan tilted her head in confusion. “Qi Qi, why aren’t you eating? Are you full? Do you need help?”

Her tone made it sound as if this little munchkin was generously offering a favor, as if she was doing her a great kindness.

“Uh, I… probably can’t finish,” Chu Qi stammered, feeling the pressure of Yu Yuanyuan’s eager eyes. Somehow, the food on her plate seemed to lose its flavor. She took a few half-hearted bites before pushing the rest of her untouched portions over to Yu Yuanyuan.

Delighted, the little foodie picked up her spoon and, with lightning speed, finished the “second round” of her meal, cleaning her plate in a fraction of the time it had taken Chu Qi.

Gu Beiyan, who had just leisurely finished his own meal, walked over with his hands in his pockets, curiously peering at Yuanyuan. “Huh? Did Yuanyuan only eat this little?”

Chu Qi’s mouth twitched as she pointed to the empty plate beside her. “That is also hers.”

For a moment, both fell into stunned silence.

Gu Beiyan felt a shock run through him. Can she really eat this much??

Her portion was at least twice the size of an average kid’s!

Having witnessed such a massive appetite for the first time in kindergarten, Gu Beiyan was in awe. He began to mentally calculate on his fingers.

Hmm, he thought to himself, my family isn’t exactly poor. In fact, people say we’re pretty well-off. Even if Yuanyuan eats a lot… we should still be able to afford it… right?

His previously confident thoughts now wavered with uncertainty.

“Wow, kindergarten is amazing!” Yuanyuan happily wiped her mouth clean, beaming a smile that shot straight into Gu Beiyan’s heart like a well-aimed arrow.

He blinked in surprise, completely smitten and left disoriented, as a flurry of chaotic thoughts bubbled up in his mind:

If I marry Yuanyuan in the future, I’ll give her all my allowance to buy food. I’ll never let her go hungry—not even for a single second!
