“Ugh…”
Listening to class, what Su Xiaoxiao felt this time wasn’t drowsiness but rather a dizzy sensation pulsing through her head.
It was a bit uncomfortable…
She glanced at her desk-mate, Ning Xiaoyun, who was attentively listening to the teacher and taking notes.
It felt wrong to disturb her.
“I guess I’ll just have to eat some bread… even though class is still going on.”
Hesitating, Su Xiaoxiao reached into the drawer and took out a small bag of bread, placing it on her lap.
The teacher might notice…
But her life was more important, so she ate it!
Besides, she’d even dared to sleep before—what was she afraid of now?
“Woof~”
Quick as a flash, Su Xiaoxiao opened the bag and tore off the biggest-looking bread, stuffing it into her mouth in one bite.
Ah, maybe she ate too fast.
“Cough, cough…”
She started choking.
“Hey, are you okay?”
Ning Xiaoyun was the first to speak.
Seeing the bread in Su Xiaoxiao’s hand, she immediately realized her friend was choking because she had eaten her bread, and felt a bit guilty.
“I’m fine… just ate too fast.”
Feeling a little embarrassed—choking while eating something rare during class was definitely shameful.
Yeah… class…
“…”
Thinking that, she raised her head and noticed that quite a few people in the class were actually looking at her now.
Uh, focus on your own studies, why are you staring at her?
“The teacher doesn’t seem to have noticed yet, better put it away quickly.”
Ning Xiaoyun glanced at the teacher on the podium, who was still focused on lecturing without reacting, so it seemed there was no problem yet.
“But…”
Su Xiaoxiao hesitated.
She needed to eat a little more, still feeling a bit dizzy.
“Woof…”
Then, right in front of Ning Xiaoyun and some others still sneaking glances, Su Xiaoxiao ate a second piece of bread.
Still in one bite.
Satisfied~
“Ah, you…”
Ning Xiaoyun looked at Su Xiaoxiao’s mouth unable to close properly from eating and wanted to say something, but seeing the joy on her face while eating made her speechless.
“If you like, I can give you more.”
She took out a bunch more from her bag and placed them into Su Xiaoxiao’s small hand—a bag even bigger than the first one.
“Oh… you’re giving me all of this too?”
Looking at the bag bigger than both of her hands, Su Xiaoxiao felt a bit overwhelmed.
“Yeah, if you want more, just say. But don’t eat so obviously, eat when the teacher turns away.”
Ning Xiaoyun whispered a warning, afraid that Su Xiaoxiao might get caught and punished.
“Okay, okay.”
Su Xiaoxiao nodded excitedly.
Hehe, food at last.
“…..”
Ning Xiaoyun watched her, then turned back to listen to the lesson, thinking again about her new desk-mate.
There was something oddly intriguing about this girl.
***
“Ding ding ding,” after a visual battle, the class finally ended.
The teacher writing a few words and then taking a bite herself—there was no need to demand much from this operation.
Mainly, the teacher liked to read from the PPT and didn’t write on the board, constantly looking around.
“Woof~”
Even when class was over, Su Xiaoxiao kept eating, feeling like she had already eaten nearly ten small pieces of bread.
“Are you really that hungry? Eating so fast.”
Ning Xiaoyun tidied up her notes and looked at her doubtfully.
Yeah.
Oh, no, better not say she hadn’t eaten lunch, or unnecessary trouble might arise.
“It’s not that… I just like to eat.”
Su Xiaoxiao forced a look that didn’t seem like a lie.
“Is that so? Do you want me to ask Zhaozhao and the others to bring some for you too?”
(ps: Xu Zhaozhao is one of Ning Xiaoyun’s small circle of friends, who went out for snacks at noon.)
“No, thank you, this is enough.”
Su Xiaoxiao declined her kindness.
Always asking girls for things wasn’t right, she wasn’t a freeloader…
Yeah, once she had some income, things would get better.
“Okay then.”
Seeing Su Xiaoyun was fine, Ning Xiaoyun got up to find her friends to play with.
“Woof,” Su Xiaoxiao continued eating, slowly pulling one piece after another out of the bag.
“Are you Su Xiaoxiao?”
While happily eating, a familiar girl’s voice came from behind her, but she didn’t immediately remember who it was.
“Yes, what’s up…”
With her mouth still full, Su Xiaoxiao turned to look at the girl speaking.
The piece of bread was swallowed.
Xiao…
“Did you attend Hua City School near here for elementary?”
The girl immediately asked, holding a black pen as if she’d just been studying and had now deliberately come over to talk to her.
“I… forgot.”
Hearing Xiao Li ask about the past, Su Xiaoxiao felt a headache coming on.
She really didn’t know… she’d have to ask the original owner.
But Xiao Li actually came to talk to her—it made her happy.
And so, another happy person was added to the classroom.
But at the same time, someone full of questions as well.
“Is that so? I was mistaken…”
“Hm?”
“I’m Xiao Li, I said so this morning, you should remember. I’m also the geography class representative, so remember to turn in your homework.”
The beautiful long-haired girl introduced herself in front of Su Xiaoxiao, her sweet voice exactly the same as in Su Xiaoxiao’s past life, without a single change.
“Yeah, I know.”
Excited, Su Xiaoxiao replied enthusiastically.
This counted as a proper reunion—the brief introduction this morning didn’t really count.
“You know?”
The girl looked a bit puzzled.
… Seems like something got exposed.
“Uh… my desk-mate told me.”
“Is that so?”
“By the way, no eating during class. I came here to remind you about that.”
“And no sleeping either. If you don’t study, you might have to repeat a year.”
The kind girl gave her a gentle reminder.
“Oh, okay, got it.”
Su Xiaoxiao nodded dumbly, not catching everything, but answering positively.
Xiao Li was so gentle.
“Xiao Li, come count the homework.”
A clear female voice interrupted their conversation from outside the door—it was the Geography Teacher.
“Coming.”
“I have to go now.”
“Okay.” Watching Xiao Li leave, Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t take her eyes off her for a long time, as if completely absorbed.
At the same time, some boys in class sneaked peeks too, but none as bold as Su Xiaoxiao.
“Hey, keep eating.”
In a good mood, she picked up the food on her lap and continued eating, feeling she was about to get full.
All thanks to Ning Xiaoyun—when she had money, she definitely had to repay her properly.
Meanwhile, not far away, someone was staring at the happy girl eating bread.
She felt this person was a bit disgusting.
Her thoughts were different from others, probably because of her own way of thinking.
***
As the afternoon wore on, it was already 5:30 pm, time to finish school.
Today she had experienced what it was like to have a female desk-mate and found it surprisingly pleasant, allowing her mind to wander freely.
Since she wasn’t hungry anymore, Su Xiaoxiao’s afternoon was pretty comfortable, though staring at the textbook for three straight hours was a bit unpleasant.
“Bye, remember to add me on QQ.”
Ning Xiaoyun said to her before leaving, handing over a little more food.
“Okay.”
Looking at the small piece of paper in her hand, the string of numbers was the girl’s contact information.
“The first girl’s QQ I got…”
Su Xiaoxiao felt a warmth in her heart because it symbolized her very first.
Should she try asking Xiao Li for her QQ later?
They seemed to be getting along well now.
