Volume 3 Chapter 66: I Want to Eat Snacks!
Monday classes passed very quickly. When school ended in the afternoon, the girl packed her schoolbag and stood up like she always did, ready to leave. But then she suddenly remembered something.
Oh right, she still needed to practice with Gao Liang today.
She turned her head and saw Gao Liang smiling at her. She looked around. It seemed that many classmates were watching them. Hmm… she had to be careful.
This morning, Xiao Bai had already misunderstood something. She didn’t want more people to notice anything tonight.
Why does this feel like we are doing something in secret?
The girl felt a strange feeling in her heart, but this was not the time to think too much about it. Lin Lin quickly thought of a plan. She sat down again and whispered to her “enemy”.
“Hey, Gao Liang, let’s not leave together. You haven’t packed yet, right? I’ll go first. Don’t come out right away, okay? I’ll wait for you at the school gate. Take your time packing your bag and tell the teacher before you leave!”
Lin Lin secretly arranged the “mission.” Gao Liang looked confused.
Huh?
They were just going to find a place to practice. Did they really need to act like secret agents?
But since it was Lin Lin’s plan, he decided to listen.
So, in front of their classmates, Lin Lin slipped out first.
Gao Liang stayed where he was. By now, he mostly understood what Lin Lin was thinking.
To match her idea, he just sat there quietly and waited for the awkward moment to pass, waiting for everyone to stop looking at him.
Then he could leave naturally.
But things were a little different from what Gao Liang expected. Most students did not care much about where he was going. They were just a little curious.
However…
Xiao Bai kept watching Lin Lin’s seat carefully.
She was thinking, Lin Lin never stays for evening study. Does she go home to study by herself?
Actually, she was just lost in thought. And because of her habit, she always brought dinner from home, so she did not need to go to the cafeteria like other students.
But in Gao Liang’s eyes, Xiao Bai was sitting still and watching him closely.
So scary.
The two of them seemed to be in a silent “battle.”
………………………
The school gate was not far from the teaching building. Lin Lin quickly walked out. At this time, many students were coming to the gate to buy dinner. She felt a little hungry too.
Usually, she would go straight home at this time.
But today…
She had to wait for a classmate at the school gate.
This felt very new. Lin Lin felt like she had not waited for a friend at the school gate in her whole life. And now, suddenly, there was one.
Her “rival.”
Hurry up and come out.
She puffed her cheeks. She did not dare stand too close to the school gate, because she was afraid someone she knew would see her and misunderstand. But she was also afraid that Gao Liang would not find her. There were especially many people at the gate today.
So she stood next to a very obvious electric pole and shook her leg while waiting.
Why is he so slow?
She waited and waited but still did not see Gao Liang. She even thought that maybe he had missed her.
For the first time in her life, Lin Lin felt how painful it was to wait for someone. She was already starting to regret telling Gao Liang to meet her at the school gate instead of leaving together.
If I knew this earlier, I would have gone to eat first…
Grrr—
Her stomach growled. It was dinner time after all. And there were so many food stalls at the school gate. She didn’t know if the oil they used was healthy, but the smell was really good—
Ahh…
She covered her face. She really wanted to go buy a pork fillet pancake and try it. She was too hungry.
But Gao Liang still hadn’t come out. She kept waiting and waiting. She felt very troubled and didn’t dare to move. There were too many people around the food stalls. If she left for a moment, Gao Liang would definitely not find her.
If he came out at that time…
Then they would have to contact each other by “message in a bottle.”
Oh, wait. Didn’t Gao Liang bring his phone?
She suddenly remembered. She quickly took out her phone and sent him a message.
【Lin Lin: Have you come out of the school gate? Where are you?】
……………
At this time, Gao Liang was still in a silent “battle” with Xiao Bai.
After a while, when many classmates had left the classroom for the cafeteria, Gao Liang felt the time was right. He stood up and quietly walked out of the classroom.
Before leaving, to make sure everything was safe, he even turned around to look at Xiao Bai.
She was already eating…
Maybe he had been too careful.
After Gao Liang walked out of the school gate, he realized that their silent “battle” had taken a long time.
He quickly took out his phone and looked at the screen. As expected, there were messages.
【Gao Liang: Haha… I’m coming, I’m coming!】
【Lin Lin: You replied so slowly!】
【Lin Lin: If you don’t reply to me quickly next time, I won’t wait for you!】
【Lin Lin: Ugh!】
It felt like she was a little angry. It looked like he had made her wait too long.
He hurried to the school gate.
This time, the waiting did not last long. After she sent him an angry “I’ll punch you” sticker, Gao Liang soon appeared at the gate.
There were not many people left now, so he was easy to see. He looked around in the crowd. Lin Lin was about to jump up and call his name, but his eyes were very sharp. He quickly found her among the people.
He smiled and ran over. Looking at the girl who was puffing her cheeks, he asked,
“Did I make you wait too long? Sorry, something suddenly happened and I couldn’t leave.”
“Well… I understand. You’re a busy person, after all.” She was still puffing her cheeks. Even so, after being apart from her rival for a short time and then meeting him again at the school gate, she felt a strange feeling she could not explain.
How should she describe it?
It was just… strange.
Hearing her proud and cute complaint, Gao Liang smiled. He guessed why she was in a bad mood and quietly asked,
“Lin Lin, are you hungry? I’ll buy you dinner as an apology, okay?”
“Hmm… that’s acceptable!”
She nodded quickly, clearly showing how much she loved food.
“So… what do you want to eat? Just choose.”
“Um, that pork fillet pancake… add egg slices, potatoes, enoki mushrooms, sausage, fried chicken strips, and… no, no vegetables… slurp—”
“Lin… Lin Lin.” Gao Liang looked helpless. “Listen, I’m treating you to dinner. What you ordered is… a bit too simple. Be bold. If the school gate isn’t good enough, we can go to a better restaurant.”
“W-What do you mean?! I… I just want to eat snacks today!”
