Wang Cheng's face was utterly dark at this moment.
Just moments ago, he had grandly presented instant noodles.
Lin Ge, right on his heels, pulled out cookies and chocolate, making him lose face.
Even if Lin Ge claimed it wasn't intentional, Wang Cheng wouldn't believe it.
Especially when he saw Yu Kelan's wronged little face, he felt incredibly stifled.
He carefully said to Yu Kelan, "Kelan, we don't care for other people's stuff. Tomorrow morning, we'll have this bucket of instant noodles for breakfast."
"Who wants your broken instant noodles!"
"Wuwu, take it away!"
Wang Cheng's words became the last straw that broke Yu Kelan's spirit.
This box of instant noodles had brought her enough humiliation.
And now, Wang Cheng was still talking about it.
Yu Kelan even felt that the entire class was looking at her strangely, as if mocking her for treating a bucket of instant noodles like a treasure.
Of course, this was an illusion.
A common illusion people have when they are embarrassed.
"Kelan..."
Wang Cheng was stunned.
He quickly picked up the instant noodles from the ground, blew off the dust, and wanted to return it to Yu Kelan.
"Go away!"
Yu Kelan cried out.
Wang Cheng didn't dare to provoke Yu Kelan's emotions any further. He scurried back to his seat with the instant noodles, looking crestfallen.
"Lin Ge, you've got guts!"
"Don't think I don't know, you must have stolen your parents' wages to show off.
"If your parents find out, just wait and see how you'll die!"
Staring at Lin Ge's lazy back, Wang Cheng's teeth were almost ground to dust.
Once again, his carefully prepared surprise had been ruined by Lin Ge.
For some reason, Wang Cheng had a premonition.
The scene in his dream, where he and Yu Kelan, dressed in wedding gowns and suits, walked into the hall together, had developed cracks and was slowly shattering.
"This is for you."
After Wang Cheng left, Lin Ge placed the exquisite box of chocolates in front of Yu Kelan.
Lin Ge had done that to create a rift between Yu Kelan and Wang Cheng.
The little girl was innocent; Lin Ge didn't want to hurt her.
So he prepared to make it up to her.
"What do you mean?"
"Are you mocking me now, or pitying me?"
Yu Kelan froze for a moment.
Then, her tear-filled little face looked at Lin Ge.
Lin Ge smiled. "Where did your mind go? This is our deal. You teach me, and I'll buy you snacks. Otherwise, would I let you teach me for free?"
"A deal?"
Lin Ge's words stopped the little girl's tears.
Knowing that Lin Ge wasn't mocking her, Yu Kelan felt a little better.
"Then I ask you, why did you give everyone cookies just now, but not me?"
Yu Kelan pouted and asked.
She was still bothered by what had just happened.
Lin Ge smiled and shook his head. "Why compare yourself to them? Those cookies are only 38.8 a box. Giving them to classmates is just for the sake of good peer relations."
"You're my teacher, so I specially saved something better for you."
"Here!"
Lin Ge pursed his lips, gesturing for Yu Kelan to look at the chocolate in his hand.
"This one box of chocolate costs 99 yuan."
"99 yuan!"
Yu Kelan, who was listening intently to Lin Ge, suddenly widened her beautiful eyes.
Then, she quickly looked at the label on the box.
"It really is 99 yuan!"
Yu Kelan exclaimed inwardly.
What did 99 yuan mean?
That was half a month's salary for her mom.
Lin Ge actually spent so much money on a box of chocolates.
How much money did he even have?!
"Lin Ge just said that I'm different from the others, so he specially saved a gift for me."
"And it's such an expensive box of chocolates."
After the initial shock, Yu Kelan remembered Lin Ge's words, and her mood immediately brightened.
The dislike she had felt for Lin Ge vanished in an instant.
A young girl's emotions are that simple; they come quickly and go quickly.
"But this chocolate is too expensive, I can't accept it."
Yu Kelan really wanted the box of chocolates, but her little habit of being overly prim cropped up again, making her feel a bit embarrassed.
Another point was that if she brought this box of chocolates home, her mom would definitely scold her.
"Alright then. I see they really want to eat it, so I'll just share it with everyone."
Lin Ge prepared to take the box of chocolates.
He never had the habit of spoiling girls.
Being overly prim is a disease that needs to be cured.
"No, it's mine."
Yu Kelan, like a startled cat, hugged the chocolate to her chest.
She was utterly adorable.
Lin Ge shrugged, withdrawing his hand.
Only then did Yu Kelan realized how embarrassing her behavior was.
"Lin Ge is so annoying, he must be deliberately teasing me."
Yu Kelan's face flushed, and she glared at Lin Ge with her beautiful eyes.
Then, she stuffed the chocolate into her drawer.
"It seems Lin Ge isn't that annoying after all."
"When I teach him later, I'll be more serious, as thanks for the chocolate he gave."
Yu Kelan thought to herself.
For the rest of the afternoon, Yu Kelan no longer leaned on her desk but actively taught Lin Ge.
One willing to teach.
One willing to learn.
During the breaks of a few classes, Lin Ge thoroughly mastered all the Chinese language knowledge from high school.
"This guy isn't here to study at all. How could he possibly learn all of high school Chinese so quickly?"
But Yu Kelan simply didn't believe it.
While she was complaining inwardly, she always felt that Lin Ge was approaching her with an ulterior motive.
"Kelan, have a piece of candy to replenish your sugar."
After class, Wang Cheng still brought Yu Kelan milk candy.
He deliberately came over to interrupt Yu Kelan teaching Lin Ge.
Besides that, he also wanted to know if Yu Kelan's attitude towards him had changed, like starting to dislike him.
But thankfully, Yu Kelan hadn't refused the milk candy he placed on her desk.
After Wang Cheng left, she very naturally put the milk candy into her school uniform pants pocket.
"I'm hungry, do you have anything to eat?"
Lin Ge suddenly asked.
Yu Kelan: "..."
Yu Kelan blushed a little, saying nothing.
She had an astonishing thought: Lin Ge was going to take candy from her pocket again.
The next second, she felt a rustling sound from the pocket close to her skin, lasting for about ten seconds.
Goosebumps rose on her skin.
When Lin Ge took the milk candy and popped it into his mouth, Yu Kelan glared at him with a red face.
If this guy didn't like her, she'd write her surname Yu backwards!
"But Wang Cheng..."
But then, Yu Kelan became conflicted again.
She remembered Wang Cheng.
Given Wang Cheng's attitude towards her, he definitely liked her.
Wang Cheng had good grades, was considerate, and constantly tried to please her. He perfectly fitted Yu Kelan's ideal future boyfriend and husband.
As for Lin Ge, she couldn't describe what she felt.
Anyway, being around this guy always made her blush.
"But my future partner should at least get into the same university as me, right?"
Yu Kelan thought with a headache.
