Chapter 190 Ling Xuan Brings Food, Caught by Him
<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>
Jiang Fuyue opened the door, and Ling Xuan stood outside.
Seeing her, he raised the packaged bag in his hand. “Lunch, want some?”
“How did you know I was here?”
Ling Xuan: “I bumped into Xu Lao on the way back from class and chatted with him for a bit.”
He said it casually, but upon deeper thought, was it really that easy to bump into Xu Kaiqing? Even if they did meet, was it so easy to strike up a conversation?
“Well,” Jiang Fuyue glanced at what he was holding, “Is it for me?”
“Yeah,” Ling Xuan nodded.
Jiang Fuyue didn’t take it. Just as she was about to speak, Ling Xuan was quicker than her, as if he had guessed what she was going to say—
“Consider it a thank-you for helping me with problems. I was planning to eat outside, but you seem busy?”
“Yeah, very busy,” Jiang Fuyue said truthfully.
“In that case, there’s even more reason for you not to refuse my lunch,” he smiled. “If you’re concerned about me as a person, I can leave right now.”
His attitude was firm and considerate, leaving her no room to dodge.
In the end, Jiang Fuyue accepted it.
Since it was a thank-you gift, she didn’t think she was undeserving of his gratitude.
Ling Xuan’s progress was evident to all; even Yan Zhenfeng asked him what reference books he had switched to.
…
Food couldn’t be brought into the laboratory, so the two stood in the corridor. Ling Xuan unpacked the bag, took out the boxes of food, and placed them on the railing.
With a quick glance, there were unexpectedly five or six boxes, a balanced mix of meat and vegetables, along with a cooling mung bean and pumpkin soup.
“I didn’t know what you liked, so I just ordered a variety,” Ling Xuan said.
Jiang Fuyue looked at the nutritious and visually appealing bowls of food in front of her. Was this considered “just ordering”?
“There’s too much, I can’t finish it all.”
“It’s okay, just try a little of everything,” he said, handing her the chopsticks.
Jiang Fuyue thanked him and fell silent, focusing on eating.
Her movements were quick, and she chewed rapidly, but not rudely.
Ling Xuan knew that if Jiang Fuyue wasn’t truly busy, she wouldn’t have accepted this meal, even if he had brought it up as a “thank you” gesture.
Therefore, throughout the entire process, although he wanted to, he ultimately didn’t say anything like “eat slower” or “don’t choke.”
He simply silently ladled a bowl of pumpkin soup and placed it next to her.
Teenagers are inherently attentive and thoughtful. When they decide to be kind to someone, they cover all aspects and details, and make the other person feel cared for without even realizing it.
For example, at this moment, Jiang Fuyue focused on filling her stomach, her mind occupied with the next steps of the experiment.
Therefore, she didn’t notice the young man’s gaze lingering on her for too long, or even acquiring a hint of warmth.
“Try this…” he smiled.
When Xie Dingyuan, the assistant, brought food for Xie Dingyuan, he inevitably passed through the corridor and inevitably saw the two of them.
He didn’t think much of it; after all, it was very normal for college students to be in a relationship.
Once they entered the laboratory and set down the lunchbox, he casually mentioned, “….The couple outside is so affectionate, their lunch is very generous!”
Xie Dingyuan looked up from the instrument panel. “What couple?”
“The girl next door who borrowed the laboratory! Her boyfriend brought her lunch, and they’re eating in the corridor. They’re quite obedient to the laboratory rules, knowing they can’t bring food inside…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Xie Dingyuan had already strode out.
The assistant was puzzled, “Professor, where are you going? The data isn’t finished yet, and you’re just leaving it?”
