"Iâm telling you, Brother Ling already gave this whole pack to me. Thereâs no way Iâm sharing it with you," Yang Yu said immediately, his eyes a little wary.
"What the hell? Who wants you to share?"
He Jianâs mouth twitched.
Heâd actually heard about using sanitary pads as shoe inserts before. Back in the day, military training shoes were all the sameâhard, green canvas shoes. A pad inside helped absorb sweat and made them less uncomfortable on the feet.
But nowadays, everyone wore their own shoes, and most had air cushions, so there was really no need for it.
"But, Brother Ling, why would you be carrying something like this?" Yang Yefeng asked, a little curious.
"You moron, his girlfriend must have packed it for him! And get this, I even saw a pink towel in Brother Lingâs suitcase..."
He Jian said at once, a suggestive look on his face.
Seeing this, Ye Ling was rendered speechless.
He hadnât expected that something heâd gotten from a sign-in reward would lead them to imagine so much...
âStill, this is fine. At least they donât think Iâm a pervert.â
So, Ye Ling couldnât be bothered to explain.
"Letâs go eat."
Ye Ling pursed his lips and led the three of them to the cafeteria.
Although the food at the Modu cafeteria wasnât quite to Ye Lingâs taste, he had to admit their breakfast was pretty solid. They had everything from steamed buns and fried dough sticks to soy milk.
Just as the group of four walked into the cafeteria, a lovely figure appeared before Ye Ling.
There, Ning Ruoxi was holding a tray piled high with all sorts of food.
"Silly, come and eat!"
Ning Ruoxi said, smiling softly.
"Sorry, bros. Youâll have to get your own food."
Seeing this, Ye Ling turned to glance at the three guys behind him.
"Damn it, theyâre even showing off at breakfast?"
He Jian and the others immediately rolled their eyes.
However, it would be a total lie to say they werenât envious. After all, having a stunning beauty get your breakfast first thing in the morning and wait for you with a smile...
If they had seen this at night, theyâd probably be thinking, âWell, Iâve got new material for my dreams tonight!â
"Letâs go, weâre eating."
And so, under the envious, jealous, and hateful stares of the onlookers, Ye Ling followed Ning Ruoxi and found a place to sit.
Ning Ruoxi had gotten a lot of food, like shumai and fried dough sticks. The tray was basically piled high.
"Have some soy milk."
Ning Ruoxi obediently poured a bowl of soy milk for Ye Ling, looking for all the world like a newlywed wife.
Ye Ling naturally enjoyed this feeling quite a bit. A sense of bliss washed over him as he started to eat.
However, it wasnât long before a few tactless guys came over and ruined the atmosphere.
"Sister-in-law, you donât mind if we sit here, do you?"
He Jian asked with a smile, looking at Ning Ruoxi.
"Ah... go ahead and sit, itâs fine... And you donât have to call me sister-in-law~"
Hearing him call her that, Ning Ruoxiâs pretty face immediately flushed red.
âBut for some reason, she felt a little sweetness in her heart.â
Ye Ling frowned and shot the guy a glare, signaling for them to get lost.
Heâd finally gotten a chance for some private time with Ning Ruoxi, and these guys just had to come and mess it up!
"Thanks, Sister-in-law!"
But He Jian clearly ignored Ye Ling completely. The moment he heard Ning Ruoxiâs permission, he sat right down.
"Very good."
Ye Ling flashed a grin at him, revealing a set of pearly whites.
Instantly, He Jian and the other two couldnât help but shiver.
âWere they suddenly starting to regret this?â
After all, Ye Ling had taken down all three of them by himself before...
And judging by the look on Ye Lingâs face now, they were probably in for another beating when they got back.
"Brother Ling, you wouldnât mind us sitting here, would you? If you do, we can leave."
He Jian said, looking at Ye Ling and batting his eyes innocently.
His gaze was filled with sincerity.
If Ye Ling didnât know his personality, he almost would have believed him.
"Itâs fine, go ahead and sit."
Ye Ling suddenly thought of something, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
Ning Ruoxi actually had a small appetite, so from the whole tray of food, she only ate two small vegetable buns and drank a little bit of soy milk before she was full.
As for the rest, it was naturally all for Ye Ling.
"Sister-in-law is so good to Brother Ling. Weâre really envious," He Jian said from the side with a grin.
Instantly, Ning Ruoxi blushed again and lowered her head.
Ye Ling, however, shot the guy a look, then picked up a shumai and held it to Ning Ruoxiâs lips.
"Wifey, you canât just eat this little... Come on, eat some more."
"I canât eat anymore~"
Ning Ruoxi took a bite and pouted.
At that moment, He Jian and the others sitting beside them were dumbfounded.
âWas Ye Ling... flaunting their relationship in public?â
"Eat more. If you get too skinny, I might not want you anymore."
But Ye Ling seemed completely oblivious to the stares from the three guys next to him and continued feeding the girl.
"Hmph!"
Ning Ruoxi let out a coquettish huff and shot Ye Ling a playful glare.
Just how captivating that look was, He Jian and the others were naturally in no position to appreciate...
Originally, Ning Ruoxi really couldnât eat another bite, but under Ye Lingâs continuous feeding, she ended up eating quite a bit more.
And while this process was undoubtedly enjoyable for Ye Ling and Ning Ruoxi, for He Jian and the others, it was pure torture.
He Jian was pondering a question. âWhy the hell did I come over here... just to have their PDA shoved in my face?â
Ye Ling, of course, noticed the expressions on their faces and sneered inwardly.
âYou brats think you can mess with me?â
"Okay, okay, I really canât eat anymore."
Ning Ruoxi licked her lips and said, looking a bit dazed.
At this point, she also noticed that the three guys beside them had all stopped eating and were just staring at her and Ye Ling, which made her feel a little embarrassed again.
"Alright."
Hearing this, Ye Ling nodded in satisfaction and then began to clear the food off the tray.
Adhering to the principle that wasting food is shameful, and also because this was all food that Ning Ruoxi had gotten for him, Ye Ling naturally ate every last bite.
For a moment, Ye Ling also felt a bit stuffed.
"Iâm outta here!"
The moment Ye Ling finished eating, He Jian shot to his feet.
He felt that eating at this table was absolute torture. Finally, he was free!
Yang Yu and Yang Yefeng also gave Ye Ling a somewhat resentful look before picking up their trays and leaving as well.
They didnât know if they were full from breakfast, but they had definitely had their fill of public displays of affection!
"Whatâs wrong with them?"
Ning Ruoxi couldnât help but ask, blinking her eyes.
She thought that He Jian and the other two seemed a bit unhappy.
"Looks like they ate too much, so they left first. Anyway, shall we go for a walk?"
Ye Ling shrugged, pretending on the surface that he didnât know anything, but inwardly, he was gloating.
âThatâs what you get for interrupting my private time with my wifey!â
