87 Eating Together
Although Feng Ying’s words were quite tactful, didn’t she mean that she had gained a lot of weight? After reflecting on her painful experience, Le Wan decided to control her diet and started with a fat-reducing meal.
“But you’re still recuperating now, and you need nutrition.” Zhai Jing didn’t agree with her actions.
...“The reason why you gained weight so quickly is that you suddenly changed your living habits and took in too much nutrition, which caused your body’s metabolism to be in disorder. As long as you don’t maintain it and go back to your previous living habits and diet, your weight will return to normal very soon.”
Le Wan’s ears perked up when she heard that.
“Are you telling the truth?”
Zhai Jing nodded.
“Then I won’t eat this. It’s too unpalatable without oil or salt.”
She pushed aside the fat-reducing meal in front of her and walked happily to the ordering area. She ordered a bunch of her favorite food.
Zhai Jing looked at the food on her plate which was about to overflow and was suspicious. He was silent for a moment.
“You don’t have to eat so much.”
However, he didn’t expect Le Wan to distribute half of them to his plate with a spoon.
Zhai Jing was helpless.
“I’m full after eating my portion.”
Le Wan pouted.
“You’ve been eating this set meal for so long. Aren’t you tired of it?”
As a top private high school, the cafeteria of Mingcheng High School would not be bad. The logistics department had specially hired many high-grade chefs to specially cook for the students. From congee and noodles to all kinds of stir-fried vegetables and soups, there was everything. The students could choose according to their preferences.
Of course, the cost of the meal was not cheap.
At the same time, to take care of the students who were not so financially well-off, the school introduced a special package for students to choose from.
Zhai Jing was admitted to Mingcheng High School through a special entrance, so he was given a subsidy to eat in the canteen. Of course, there was a limit to this subsidy. It was obviously not enough for Zhai Jing to do whatever he wanted in the canteen. Hence, he ate the discounted set meal every day.
The special set meal was also made by the kitchen, and it actually tasted quite good. Moreover, every meal had meat, eggs, vegetables, and soup. The rice was full, nutritious, and healthy. However, its dishes were fixed. What they ate on Monday was what they ate on Tuesday and what they ate on Wednesday. Although they changed it every week, after eating it a few times, she got tired of it.
Because of her previous experience, the idea of being thrifty was rooted in her heart. In the beginning, she also ran to eat this set meal, but she gave up after a month. It wasn’t that she wasn’t frugal enough, but the food next door smelled so good that she couldn’t help it.
Hence, when she saw that Zhai Jing was eating the set meal that he had been eating for almost two years without any change in expression, she was a little impressed, especially when he was not so financially tight now. Hence, when it was time to order, Le Wan specially ordered more.
“I told you to eat, so just eat.” Le Wan took a bite of the fragrant salted crispy chicken in satisfaction and mumbled,
“The chef in the canteen is really good at cooking. I’ve always wanted to order a few more dishes, but my stomach has limited my performance. Since you’re here, you can help me share the burden.”
Zhai Jing saw that she was like a little squirrel, taking one bite after another and eating happily. He reluctantly believed her reason and picked up the food on the plate to eat.
As a result, the two of them ate until they were full, and only then did they barely finish the food on the plate.
After eating to his heart’s content, Le Wan touched her round belly and her eyes became heavy with sleep.
“It would be great if I could have a comfortable place to sleep at this time.”
It seemed that after three or four days of staying in bed, she had developed some habits. After eating, she wanted to sleep.
After Zhai Jing cleared all the plates and passed them to the cleaning lady, he turned around and heard her words. His heart moved.
“Do you want me to take you somewhere?”
“Where to?”
Le Wan was lazy and didn’t want to move.
“A very suitable place to sleep.”
Upon hearing this, Le Wan thought,
Isn’t this what I need the most now?
She immediately stood up and urged Zhai Jing.
“Let’s go, let’s go.”
Hence, Zhai Jing brought her around the stadium and to a small hill behind.
Le Wan looked at the lush trees above her head,
“The place you said was suitable for sleeping, is this it?”
“Yes, this is the place.”
On the other side, Zhai Jing had already put his hands behind his head and lay down along the slope. The upper half of his body was lying under the shade of the tree while the lower half of his body was exposed to the sun.
“You don’t look too bad.”
And so, Le Wan laid down as well.
