In the afternoon.

Just as Yin Shaojie and Bai Meijiao walked into the cafeteria, someone called out for him to stop. A beaming Han Qiqing walked over to them with Mu Xiaoxiao in tow.

Yin Shaojie, Xiaoxiao and I have forgotten to bring our food cards. Can you treat us to lunch?"

Yin Shaojie's gaze was natural as it studied Mu Xiaoxiao. With his usual casual smile on his face, he said, "Of course."

Han Qiqing walked forward and surveyed the first floor of the cafeteria. "How about eating on the first floor? I'm sick of eating on the second floor every time."

Yin Shaojie gave an acknowledgment of indifference.

The four of them thus found a place and sat down.

However, this scene shocked the rest of the students in the cafeteria. Were Young Master Jie's new love and ex sitting together? What kind of situation was this?

The students stopped eating and craned their necks to watch what would happen next.

While the four of them were sitting, Wu Hao, the assistant, stood beside them and inquired about their dining preferences to place their orders for them.

"I want to eat black pepper beef with rice!" Han Qiqing said. Turning over to Mu Xiaoxiao, she asked, "What about you?"

Mu Xiaoxiao spoke without thinking, "I'll get the same."

Just then, Yin Shaojie cocked his brows. He looked at her with his inky dark eyes and asked, "Don't you not eat black pepper?"

Mu Xiaoxiao was still a little pissed at him. She harrumphed and glared at him as she said, "I like it now, okay?!"

"Sure, suit yourself," Yin Shaojie replied dandiacally as though he didn't care.

However, if he really didn't, he wouldn't have remembered what she liked.

Even though Bai Meijiao looked a little put off by this, she still maintained a charming smile, seeming like an obedient child. Her behavior was a far cry from earlier during class.

She had originally been waiting for Young Master Jie to ask what she had wanted to eat, but he seemed like he wasn't going to. She felt a little embarrassed.

She could only tell her order to Wu Hao herself then, saying, "I'll have a cheesy chicken cutlet with rice."

Wu Hao looked towards Yin Shaojie and asked respectfully, "Young Master Jie, what would you like to eat?"

Yin Shaojie seemed to reply carelessly, "Simmer-fried eggplant."

It wasn't long before Wu Hao had bought all four of their meals. He then sat apart from them to eat.

Mu Xiaoxiao's brow furrowed after taking a bite of the black pepper beef as though it didn't suit her palate. Her chopsticks picked at her rice, but she didn't take another bite.

Just then, Bai Meijiao picked up a piece of chicken cutlet and with a captivating smiled, said to Yin Shaojie, "Yin Shaojie, try some of this."

However, Yin Shaojie ignored her and instead, reached out and whisked Mu Xiaoxiao's meal away.

"Hey you — " Mu Xiaoxiao thought that he was trying to fool around, but his plate of simmer-fried eggplant suddenly appeared before her. This was a dish that she liked.

"Obviously hating it but still trying to force yourself." Yin Shaojie rolled his eyes at her, his tone disdainful.

Mu Xiaoxiao pouted. Despite his attitude, Mu Xiaoxiao's heart warmed a little as she studied the simmer-fried eggplant in front of her.

Han Qiqing grinned as she looked at them, her gaze suggestive.

Were these two… Having a public display of affection?

She looked askance at Bai Meijiao. Her color was alternating between pink and white. This was so exciting!

Han Qiqing smirked. Looking at Yin Shaojie, she suddenly asked, "Great Master Yin, I heard from your girlfriend that you were with her last night? Did you spend the night with her?"

She gave a knowing look at Mu Xiaoxiao as she said this.

Mu Xiaoxiao came back to her senses and recalled their plan. With a tone that sounded as if she was interrogating the condemned, she questioned Yin Shaojie, "Did you bring her back to our condominium?"
