The envious gazes of his classmates made Wang Cheng feel like he was basking in a spring breeze. It was certainly worth taking out such a large sum of money to buy this cup of instant noodles. However, just thinking about giving this cup of instant noodles to Yu Kelan next made Wang Cheng feel a pang in his heart. He had never even eaten instant noodles himself since he was born.
"Nothing ventured, nothing gained. After giving her this cup of instant noodles, Kelan will definitely look at me in a new light." Wang Cheng made up his mind, and then, under the expectant gazes of his classmates, he handed the instant noodles to Yu Kelan.
"Kelan, this cup of instant noodles is for you."
In front of so many people, Yu Kelan's face instantly flushed red. Wang Cheng's behavior was no different from publicly giving flowers in later generations. Yu Kelan was an 18-year-old girl after all. At this moment, she felt very flattered, her vanity greatly satisfied. This also increased her good impression of Wang Cheng.
"To be able to marry Yu Kelan, he truly had some skills.""But what's the use if you don't cherish her after marrying her?""So, let me ruin this marriage." Seeing this scene, Lin Ge's lips curved into a smile.
"I haven't done anything to help you, how can I just accept your things?" Although Yu Kelan felt a little moved, she was a young girl and thin-skinned; how could she directly accept Wang Cheng's instant noodles?
Wang Cheng was stunned for a moment, then slapped his forehead hard. "Look at me, Kelan, I forgot to tell you. Last time, there was a question I couldn't solve until you explained it to me, and then I suddenly understood. So, this instant noodle is just my thanks for your help in clarifying things last time."
This kid's mind worked fast. He immediately gave Yu Kelan a graceful way to accept. Yu Kelan's eyes held a smile, looking like a teachable child, then she fell silent. Wang Cheng naturally knew what to do. He placed the instant noodles directly on Yu Kelan's desk, then looked at Lin Ge with a provocative gaze.
It seemed to say:Want to compare generosity?I'm not afraid of you!I'm directly giving Kelan instant noodles, how can you compare to me now?And Kelan accepted it too.Are you very angry?
"This kid is quite childish." Lin Ge shook his head with a chuckle. The naive Wang Cheng now was far from the cunning and insidious Wang Cheng who operated in the business world in his previous life. That Wang Cheng was capable of even selling his wife for glory; how vicious was that? Perhaps only that Wang Cheng would be qualified to contend with Lin Ge.
Then, Lin Ge looked at Yu Kelan again. The little girl still didn't know that she was choosing a path of no return. At this moment, she was pouting, glaring at Lin Ge.
Seemingly saying:Who wants to eat your stinky instant noodles?See?Even if I don't ask, someone will dutifully deliver them.
"Silly girl, if I didn't interfere this time, decades later, you'd be crying in front of me again, wishing you were dead, cursing yourself for marrying an animal." Lin Ge thought humorously.
"What are you doing?" Lin Ge reached out, preparing to take the bag under the table. Yu Kelan, however, mistakenly thought Lin Ge wanted to snatch the cup of instant noodles. She quickly hugged the instant noodles, looking at Lin Ge with vigilance. It wasn't Yu Kelan's fault for being suspicious; earlier, Lin Ge had snatched two of her milk candies.
"A broken cup of instant noodles, you treat it like a treasure. Class monitor, your perspective is a bit small." At this moment, a box of cookies appeared in Lin Ge's hand. To show it to Yu Kelan, the price tag hadn't even been torn off. The blue, circular tin box, with its exquisite advertising illustration, displayed a price that stung Yu Kelan's eyes: 38.8!
"38.8!" Seeing that price, Yu Kelan's mouth dropped open into an "O" shape. Wang Cheng wasn't much better; he was about to curse Lin Ge for trying to snatch things, but his eyes widened, clearly shocked by that price. All his pocket money combined couldn't buy that box of cookies.
"Ah, these imported cookies really taste good." Lin Ge opened the box, took a piece of cookie, and popped it into his mouth.
At this time, let alone students, even most adults had never seen such high-class snacks. Seeing Lin Ge eat with such relish, every classmate in the class couldn't help but swallow their saliva. (No exaggeration, the author was born in '93, and only first tasted blue-box cookies in '01 when visiting Guangzhou. What's more, this is '93, an era when most children's snacks were one-jiao domestic ones.)
"I can't finish all these cookies either. If anyone wants some, come and get them." Lin Ge ate one piece and was already tired of it. He was from the future and had tasted countless delicacies; he wasn't particularly impressed by cookies that everyone else craved. Besides, doing this was also for the next step.
"Brother Lin, can I try a piece?" As soon as Lin Ge spoke, a thick-skinned person immediately came forward. Kids at this time were still quite innocent. And Lin Ge usually had good rapport with everyone, so no one felt embarrassed.
"Why not?" Lin Ge directly handed over the box. That greenhorn immediately took two pieces and shoved them into his mouth.
"Mmm, so delicious!""Is this the high-class cookie that costs a week's salary for my parents?""The taste, it's amazing!"
This guy closed his eyes, his expression almost like he was ascending to heaven, it was incredibly exaggerated.
"Heh heh, you rascal." Lin Ge was amused. But this expression was the best advertisement. The remaining classmates could no longer resist the temptation and all swarmed forward.
"Brother Lin, my best brother, last time I helped you copy homework, I'm reserving one piece!""Me too, me too!""Lin Ge, next time we change seats, directly swap with mine, I want a piece too!""I want to eat the 38 yuan and 8 jiao box of cookies too!""Li Rui, why did you take three pieces, leave one for me!"
...
The classmates were very enthusiastic. In no time, the box of cookies in Lin Ge's hand was empty.
"Brother Lin, this box is pretty, can you give it to me?" A male classmate asked awkwardly. Indeed, in '93, a beautifully made tin box was like a small secret base, capable of holding many treasures, definitely a boy's favorite item. Moreover, when friends of the same age came over, he could show off: "See, bro, I've eaten cookies that cost 38 yuan a box."
"Small stuff, it's yours." Lin Ge smiled and generously gave the box away. Spending a day with these classmates, he felt as if he had found his lost youth.
"Sigh, the most expensive thing in school is only the 2.5 yuan instant noodles.""It's a shame I still had to go to Lianhua Supermarket to buy imported snacks."
Looking at the silent Yu Kelan beside him, Lin Ge leaned back in his chair and took out another box of chocolates. If that box of cookies was a missile, then this luxurious version of chocolate, packaged in gold foil paper and a translucent gift box, was undoubtedly a nuclear bomb!
"Clatter!" The instant noodles in Yu Kelan's hand directly dropped onto the desk. Her mind was filled with Lin Ge's words from just now: "A broken cup of instant noodles, you treat it like a treasure. Class monitor, your perspective is small."
Lin Ge gave cookies to everyone, except Yu Kelan. The instant noodles she treasured, compared to Lin Ge's cookies, seemed like a joke, just like her own person. Yu Kelan, who had always been the center of attention since childhood, for the first time felt ignored. Her eyes began to redden.
