Desk mate, your persona has crumbled.

This was the first time Xu Mo had left for school so early since the start of high school.

Even Xu Fugui only took him for a short walk and then came back, leaving the silly dog ​​looking unhappy.

Xu Mo never expected to run into Song Shuyan's father.

He was startled when he saw Song Jianghuai appear.

You want to chase and kill me, huh?

After running all the way, Xu Mo realized that Song Jianghuai might not recognize him.

That's very interesting.

Why is he running?!

He didn't do anything!

The boy belatedly felt annoyed, but then put his emotions aside.

Go to school, then have breakfast!

Song Shuyan's dad has already come to buy breakfast, so Song Shuyan must have already arrived at school.

The little girl is probably still hungry.

Xu Mo was right; Song Shuyan was hungry.

For Song Shuyan, who usually eats breakfast right after getting up and washing up, her stomach is already protesting by now.

Lunch is served!

The pretty girl sat in her seat, feeling her empty stomach, and her gaze unconsciously fell on the classroom door.

"Why hasn't Xu Mo arrived yet?"

"I'm so hungry."

Just as Song Shuyan's stomach was growling, Xu Mo finally appeared at the classroom door.

The boy, full of morning energy, immediately looked towards the back of the classroom, where his gaze met that of Song Shuyan.

Under Song Shuyan's gaze, Xu Mo raised his arms.

Under each of his hands hung a round rice ball.

One of them appears to be a regular size.

The other one was noticeably heavier, almost a whole size larger.

It was the deluxe, extra-featured version that Song Shuyan had checked off on the sticky note yesterday.

Xu Mo waved the rice ball in his hand, which was obviously much larger, toward Song Shuyan.

The sunlight shone in from behind him, giving him and the rice ball in his hand a warm golden rim.

Song Shuyan's eyes lit up immediately when she saw the rice ball.

The boy noticed the light in her eyes, and his smile deepened.

Xu Mo strode towards his seat.

"Holy crap? Xu Mo brought breakfast for Song Shuyan?"

"Nonsense! Look who he's waving at!"

"The key issue isn't whether to bring him or not, but whether Song Shuyan will accept! What if it's just Xu Mo's wishful thinking?"

"I bet a bottle of Coke that Song Shuyan will definitely pretend he didn't see it!"

"I bet on it. Xu Mo brought her food for lunch and dinner yesterday, why didn't she accept it?"

"Shh! Be quiet! Xu Mo is over there!" someone hurriedly reminded them.

A dozen pairs of eyes were fixed on the back corner of the classroom, which was filled with the students' tense and expectant whispers.

"Should I answer? Should I answer?"

"Has Song Shuyan made any move yet?"

"Holy crap, she looks like she's looking at that rice ball!"

"Are you going to reach out your hand?!"

Holy crap!

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Song Shuyan reached out and took the rice ball.

She still received the same large one.

Exclamations erupted instantly in Class 17, but the next second, all the discussion shifted from whether or not to catch it to the rice ball itself.

Song Shuyan held the rice ball in both hands, making it round and plump.

It appeared exceptionally large against the backdrop of the girl's slender fingers.

"This...this is way too big!!"

"Xu Mo, are you feeding pigs here? How can Song Shuyan possibly eat that?"

"With so much filling, the vendor still managed to wrap it up. Next time, I'll ask Xu Mo where he bought it."

The chards stared in disbelief at the enormous rice ball in Song Shuyan's hand.

It's completely unimaginable how the usually aloof girl would destroy it.

Xu Mo ignored the commotion behind him.

The boy sat down in his seat, took off his backpack, placed it on his lap, and unzipped it.

Xu Mo took out two bags of soy milk from his schoolbag.

The boy placed one of the bags of soy milk on Song Shuyan's table.

"Eating just this might be a bit dry."

Song Shuyan's gaze shifted to the soy milk on the corner of the table, and then she quickly glanced at the same bag of soy milk in Xu Mo's hand.

The girl didn't speak, but simply nodded slightly in response.

"Eat!"

After saying that, Xu Mo opened the plastic bag and cling film, preparing to start his breakfast.

One bite, and you're greeted with the rich aroma of rice and a hint of the side dishes—it's very comforting.

After chewing a couple of bites of rice, Xu Mo turned to look at Song Shuyan and found that she hadn't started eating.

Song Shuyan held the warm rice ball in her hands, feeling the warmth of her palms and smelling the aroma of rice.

The girl was looking intently at the giant rice ball in her hand, the result of her order yesterday.

It wasn't until Song Shuyan actually held the rice ball in her hands that she realized she had encountered a problem.

too big.

Because he hadn't eaten rice balls for a very long time, Song Shuyan had a significant lack of understanding of the development of rice balls.

The cross-sectional area of ​​this rice ball is thicker than her wrist!

I feel like I'm going to never finish this...

The girl's gaze shifted from the rice ball to Xu Mo beside her, a rare hint of helplessness showing in her usually cool eyes.

Its eyes were like those of a cat drenched in rain, pleading for help.

Xu Mo immediately understood what Song Shuyan meant.

"Can't finish it?"

Song Shuyan nodded, making a very small gesture.

Xu Mo smiled as he looked at her.

"It's okay. It looks big, but actually, even though it's so big, there are a lot of gaps inside. Once it's compacted, there won't be so many."

Upon hearing Xu Mo's words, Song Shuyan squeezed the rice ball in her hand and then looked at Xu Mo.

(Suspect.)

Xu Mo noticed Song Shuyan's suspicion and chuckled.

"It's okay, it's okay. If you can't finish it, just eat the leftovers. It'll be a waste."

(pity.)

Song Shuyan pursed her lips.

Just as she was hesitating, she saw Xu Mo approaching.

"It'll get cold if you don't eat now, and you'll be even less likely to eat it when it's cold, which would be a waste. Besides, aren't you hungry?"

Upon hearing this, Song Shuyan felt a jolt of fear.

She was really hungry.

With that in mind, Song Shuyan no longer hesitated and opened the plastic bag and cling film.

A rich aroma of rice and a savory flavor wafted over, and my stomach immediately rumbled.

The girl held the rice ball, slightly parted her lips, and took a bite from the edge of the rice ball.

The soft, sticky white rice has a simple, sweet aroma of grains.

Immediately afterwards, the crispy fried dough stick crunched softly in my mouth.

Dried plum vegetables have a subtle fermented flavor.

Pork tenderloin, ham, pickled mustard greens, shredded potatoes...

Every bite is a novel experience.

Song Shuyan chewed slowly and attentively, taking small bites with focused concentration.

The girl's cheeks bulged slightly as she chewed, and her cool profile revealed a focused gentleness in the morning light.

(happy.)

However, Xu Mo's style was completely different from Song Shuyan's.

The boy took a big bite off a corner, his cheeks instantly stuffed full.

The boy chewed vigorously, his Adam's apple bobbing rapidly with each swallow.

Simply enjoying the simple pleasure of food filling your mouth.

Eating should be done fiercely!

When I feel thirsty, I take a sip of soy milk and then continue eating rice.

As time went on, the number of badger-like creatures in Class 17 increased.

The news that Xu Mo had brought breakfast for Song Shuyan spread throughout the entire class.
