Chapter 7: Eating Watermelon

He was feeling a bit down, first arriving late in the morning, then being targeted for being too handsome.

A whistle sounded, and everyone sighed deeply, dragging their weary bodies to line up again, with Lin Beixiu following them.

This time, they had gotten used to it, no one moved around anymore, and Lin Beixiu suffered a bit less.

When the morning military training ended, following the instructor’s dismissal, everyone cheered and headed to the cafeteria, with many rubbing their arms and legs behind.

Lin Beixiu was also invited by Hu Feng.

“Let’s go to the cafeteria for food.”

Lin Beixiu looked at Qin Muxue not far away and shook his head.

“No, I’ll eat at home.”

Saying this, he walked towards Qin Muxue, and Hu Feng looked in his direction with a shocked expression.

However, Lin Beixiu didn’t see it, he came to Qin Muxue’s side, glanced at her, and walked forward, with Qin Muxue smiling and following him.

“Class president, still holding a grudge?”

Now, she didn’t have to go out to buy food anymore, so she stayed and waited for Lin Beixiu.

Lin Beixiu rolled his eyes, “Heh.”

“I want to eat boiled pork slices for lunch.”

Lin Beixiu turned his head to look at her, especially at the smile on her face.

“Do you really think I’m your meal ticket?”

“We had agreed before, or do you think I’d let you go hungry?”

“I’d let you.”

Lin Beixiu snorted coldly and sped up his walk.

Qin Muxue knew he was just speaking angrily and laughed, following him.

Qin Muxue followed him, and Lin Beixiu glanced from the corner of his eye to see her holding a phone, then felt his own phone vibrate.

“I’ve added you on WeChat, accept it.”

“Why are you adding me on WeChat?” Lin Beixiu didn’t react at first.

“I’m sending you money.”

Qin Muxue looked at him as if he were a fool, stating it as a matter of fact.

Lin Beixiu…

Lin Beixiu accepted her friend request, glanced at her WeChat avatar, which showed a navy ship sailing on the azure sea, creating long waves, looking picturesque and majestic.

Lin Beixiu didn’t expect a girl to use such an avatar, didn’t think much of it, and then she sent him a red packet, noted as meal money.

Lin Beixiu was startled upon opening it, over five hundred.

“Isn’t this too much?”

“That’s all I have for now, should be enough for a while.”

Qin Muxue sped up to walk in front of him, Lin Beixiu puzzled by her demeanor, sensing something was off with her emotions but knew it wasn’t the time to ask.

“Enough.”

Qin Muxue nodded, “If it’s not enough, ask me for more.”

…….

Back home, Qin Muxue grabbed her clothes and went into the bathroom, drenched in sweat, needing a shower.

Lin Beixiu went into the kitchen to prepare lunch, waiting for Qin Muxue to come out, she turned to dry her hair in her room, and when she came out again, she was impatient.

“Isn’t the food ready?”

She was indeed hungry.

Lin Beixiu helplessly served the dishes, “Of course, you’ll have to wait a bit more, the rice is still cooking.”

Qin Muxue looked at the two dishes on the table, especially the boiled pork slices she wanted to eat, couldn’t help swallowing her saliva.

“I’m going to take a shower, start eating if the rice is ready.”

Lin Beixiu also went into the bathroom, and Qin Muxue took a piece of meat, tasted it, paused, then closed her eyes in satisfaction.

Delicious!

She couldn’t control herself and took a few more pieces, mainly because Lin Beixiu’s cooking was really too delicious.

When Lin Beixiu came out, he saw Qin Muxue hadn’t started eating yet, sitting there playing with her phone, which was strange.

“Why aren’t you eating?”

“I’m waiting for you.”

Lin Beixiu was surprised, smiled, “No need, eat now, rest early later, we have to continue military training in the afternoon.”

Then they ate together, and the mission of washing the dishes was also handed over to Qin Muxue. Lin Beixiu wanted to do it himself, but she didn’t agree, so he let her.

Lin Beixiu went into his room for a nap.

…….

Knock, knock, knock.

It was not until there was a knock at the door that Lin Beixiu vaguely opened his eyes, other than Qin Muxue who else could it be.

“What’s up.”

“You’re not getting up yet, it’s time to go to school.” Qin Muxue’s voice came from the door.

Lin Beixiu replied, got up, and changed into his military training uniform.

When he came out, Qin Muxue was already dressed and waiting for him, the two walked to school side by side, attracting many eyes along the way.

It was rare for her to call him, Lin Beixiu thought.

And the afternoon’s military training was still about standing at attention, but the instructor also taught some movements to everyone. Although there was some preparation, still some people couldn’t stand it, so Lin Beixiu did a few sets of push-ups.

However, he still looked handsome, his expression unchanged, heart not racing, face not flushing, making Instructor Zhang nod in approval.

Good mentality, good physical fitness.

And after the afternoon training, Lin Beixiu and Qin Muxue walked home together.

The lunch was finished, but Lin Beixiu had left some leftover rice.

“How about we have egg fried rice later?”

“Sure.”

Qin Muxue’s expression unchanged, casually said, “I’m easy to feed, not picky.”

So, the two of them had egg fried rice for dinner, and after eating, they went back to their rooms to take care of their own things.

The few days of military training had transformed the classmates somewhat, standing upright, gaining a bit of charm.

Military training was always accompanied by scorching sun, everyone complaining non-stop, but the most exciting moment was the break time, lying in the shade was very comfortable.

While Lin Beixiu was resting, he felt someone touch his arm, took off the hat on his head, and saw teacher Li Yuwei smiling at him.

“Class president, help distribute the watermelon to everyone.”

Lin Beixiu looked towards the crowd, only to realize Li Yuwei had bought several large watermelons at her own expense, and there were already male students volunteering to cut the watermelon, but Lin Beixiu was a bit far and hadn’t noticed.

Lin Beixiu also helped distribute the watermelon, and when he was done, he suddenly noticed Qin Muxue handing her piece of watermelon to Instructor Zhang.

Instructor Zhang, who was sitting aside, didn’t expect a student to offer him watermelon, was going to refuse, but couldn’t resist Qin Muxue’s enthusiasm.

“Instructor Zhang, please eat, we still have plenty here.”

In the end, Instructor Zhang could only thank her and accept it, a big man showing a shy smile, so adorable.

But when she returned, the watermelon was already divided, and her water bottle had run out of water earlier, the store was a bit far, and it would be too late to buy.

Qin Muxue was in a dilemma, she didn’t have many friends in the class, in the end, she decided to endure it and walked to a shady place.

Just as she sat down, a piece of watermelon appeared in front of her, Qin Muxue incredulously turned her head, and saw Lin Beixiu sitting next to her, turning his head away.

“For you.”

Qin Muxue didn’t take it, instead asked, “Is this yours?”

“No.”

Fearing she wouldn’t believe him, Lin Beixiu added, “This is extra, for you.”

Qin Muxue took it, looking at his slightly red ears, not coming back to her senses for a long time, then her lips curved up.

“Thank you.”
