Chapter 19: Arch-Nemesis (Part One)
"What a coincidence, you're here too." Su Yuzhe walked over with a plate of food.
Upon hearing this familiar voice, Qiao An Yu's heart suddenly tightened as she was eating too quickly and began to choke.
"Yu Zhe, look at her eating posture, even pigs don't eat like that?" The annoying voice of Shu Zi Mo sounded in his ear.
Gu Siqi saw that it was Su Yuzhe, and quickly put down her chopsticks, patted Qiao Anyu's back, took out a tissue to pretend to wipe the sauce from the corner of her mouth, and leaned in close to ask "How is it?" Actually, she was quietly reminding her: "Be more natural, be more natural."
"Let's sit here, Zǐ Mò." Su Yuzhe placed the plate in front of Qiao Anyu and was about to take a seat.
"Wait, it's dirty here, let me wipe it. You sit on the side." Shu Zimo pointed to a position next to him, took out a piece of paper and wiped the table carelessly, then sat down opposite Qiao Anyu.
The atmosphere was somewhat subtle for a while.
Qiao Anyu was too afraid to look up at Su Yuzhe, and the mouthful she had just swallowed was still stuck in her throat. But there were still so many dishes on the plate, and if Su Yuzhe found out how much she could eat, how could this lady continue to pretend?
She wanted to cry but had no tears, and could only silently and slowly pick at her rice with small mouthfuls.
"Aren't you living at home? Why are you eating in the cafeteria?" Su Yu Zhe asked.
"Incognito, to understand the people's feelings." Su Siqian, who had successfully disguised herself as a gentle lady in front of Xu Xiao, replied to Su Yuzhe with clear logic, without getting flustered or confused.
"By the way, come and take a walk with a certain pig that can eat a lot." Shu Zimo added with a hint of embarrassment.
Qiao Anyu thought of giving him a cold shoulder or even a sharp retort, but she couldn't afford to lose her composure, after all, Shu Zimo hadn't mentioned anyone by name.
She could only pretend not to understand and asked instead: "Where is Master Shu?"
"Zi Mo comes with me to the cafeteria for lunch every day." Su Yu Zhe replied on his behalf.
Qiao Anyu saw that Su Yuzhe had replied and didn't make things difficult for him anymore. Moreover, she couldn't always draw Su Yuzhe's gaze to the full plate of food in front of her, she was already ashamed enough.
Gu Siqi sat opposite Xu Xiao, and Qiao Anyu was sitting next to Su Yuzhe. The two were very silent in front of the people they admired. Qiao Anyu's eating speed slowed down significantly, she had already felt the same way about Gu Siqi's behavior when she first sat at the dinner table, and she didn't dare to be careless. She carefully maintained her pitiful image in front of Su Yuzhe.
Shu Zimo secretly smiled to himself, taking advantage of Qiao Anyu's distraction as she sipped her soup. He scooped up a black thing from his own bowl and feigned shock: "Ah, there's a cockroach in the soup!"
Qiao Anyu's hand paused, staring intently at Shu Zimo, a wave of nausea washed over her, and the mouthful of soup she had been holding in her mouth suddenly spewed out with a "plop" sound, flying straight towards Shu Zimo and landing squarely on his face.
Cockroaches are her most hated insects. Just like Shu Zimo, who is her most hated primate.
The soup flowed down along the eyebrows and nose, and Shu Zimo's eyes almost spat out fire. Gu Sichen thought that if this battle was to be fought, it would be impossible to stop once it started, so he hastily took out a paper towel to wipe his face and also handed one to Qiao Anyu to wipe her mouth.
Qiao An's first reaction was: Oh no, will it affect the fish in the pond and make Su Yuze's meal dirty?
With an apologetic gaze, Su Yuzhe looked at him and found that he had already finished the meal in a flash, leaving only empty plates. Xu Xiao had also eaten almost all of his food, but Shu Zimo was still eating slowly, with half of his food remaining, as he was quickly thinking of ways to tease Qiao Anyu in his mind.
