When their lovely childhood friend returned, they were all in a panic!

"what?"

Su Ningyu was completely dumbfounded.

Although it feels inexplicable, it seems to make some sense.

I just don't know what went wrong.

Faced with this situation, Su Ningyu was completely at a loss.

She had no idea what this man wanted to do.

"So all you want is a spoon, right?"

Bai Yu sighed softly. There was nothing she could do when faced with someone who was looking for trouble.

He turned to look at the class monitor and spoke softly.

"Squad leader, get him one."

"oh oh!"

Su Ningyu had just gone over to get the spoon when the man interrupted her.

He shifted his extremely intelligent gaze from Su Ningyu to Bai Yu's face.

At the same time, he spoke in a tone that was full of nitpicking.

"What do you mean I just want a spoon?"

After saying that, he tilted his head and looked at Bai Yu.

"I'd like to say to this young man with glasses, what you're saying isn't quite right."

"You are a supermarket, you have an obligation to give me this spoon, it's my right."

"If I'm alone, you'll save one spoon; if there are ten of you, you'll save ten spoons."

"If you save 100 spoons for every 100 people, how many more spoons do you want to save with so many supermarkets across the country?"

"what?"

"Huh?"

This combination of techniques left not only Su Ningyu speechless, but even Bai Yu, who was usually very quick to learn, dumbfounded.

Why is this the first time I've met someone like this?

I can't figure it out anymore...

"There's one more thing."

The man snatched the spoon from Su Ningyu's hand with great displeasure.

He then placed the rice balls he had just bought on the cashier's counter and pointed at them.

"I bought this rice ball last time, and you know there was a very serious problem with it?"

"Huh?"

Su Ningyu panicked and picked up the rice ball to examine it.

The expiration date is still valid, and it was purchased from a large company.

Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any problems with eating it...

"Bai Yu, is there something wrong with this rice ball?"

Having exhausted all other options, he had no choice but to ask Bai Yu, who was standing beside him.

He simply shrugged at this.

"Ask him, I don't know either."

"Excuse me, sir, is there something wrong with this rice ball?"

"They're shortchanging you!"

The man tilted his head and looked at Su Ningyu.

He pointed again at the rice ball in her hand, his face showing great displeasure.

"When I got home, I took a bite and found that the rice ball was less than usual."

"The smaller portion is just enough for one bite."

"Did your staff sneak some food? Hmm?"

Upon hearing this, Su Ningyu was dumbfounded, her eyes turning into beady pupils.

Bai Yu was also dumbfounded, her eyes turning into beady pupils.

The two looked at each other and blinked.

At the same time, she looked at the man with her bewildered, beady eyes.

Wait, what's going on?

Store manager, come back quickly, I can't handle this anymore!

Seeing that the two of them remained silent, the man sneered.

"Hmph, alright, I feel like my words have touched your souls."

"I won't say more, my lawyer will tell you that I will thoroughly investigate the issue of the staff stealing customers' food."

After saying that, he snorted coldly, grabbed his things, and left.

As he left, his gaze lingered defiantly on Su Ningyu and Bai Yu.

He didn't turn his head until he reached the door.

I just didn't expect the supermarket door to be closed at some point.

It was probably something the store manager did casually when she went to the restroom.

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, the man awkwardly rubbed his head.

He then pushed open the door and left, grumbling.

Seeing this, Bai Yu finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"Pfft!"

He burst out laughing.

Hahahaha.

Hahahahaha.

Su Ningyu laughed along with him, laughing so hard she almost fell over.

The gloom on his face had completely disappeared.

"He got his comeuppance."

Bai Yu said with a smile.

"This is the first time I've encountered this situation."

Su Ningyu chuckled, her mood improving considerably.

I didn't dwell on what the store manager had said earlier.

"Oh, right! The hot pot we ate after the park event that day was really delicious."

Su Ningyu let her hair down again and then tied it all back into a ponytail.

She said this while tying her hair up.

"When I get paid, I'd like to treat you all to hot pot... Is that okay?"

"Well... you don't need to invite me, do you?"

Bai Yu waved his hand and spoke.

The class monitor was already struggling financially; would eating hot pot really hurt her for a long time?

You should know that she doesn't even have enough money to eat a meal at school.

The money earned from part-time jobs probably all went towards tuition fees.

If she were to treat us to a hot pot meal, how many days' worth of breakfast money would she have to save?

"I must treat you all to hot pot."

Su Ningyu said very seriously, looking at him with her stubborn eyes.

"You've all been so good to me, but I don't want to keep receiving all this one-sided attention from you."

"Please promise me, okay? I..."

"My best deskmate!"

Seeing her stubborn look, Bai Yu couldn't bear to refuse her.

He smiled, moved by her persistence.

"Then I'll wait for the class monitor to treat us to hot pot."

Anyway, my senior was a regular customer at that hot pot restaurant.

It's still possible to secretly engage in some insider maneuvers, right?

"Hey, you guys seem to be having a good chat."

The store manager's spirited voice came over.

She pushed open the supermarket door and walked in with a smile on her face.

That smile was still that meaningful auntie smile.

"If you come, manager, I won't work for you anymore."

Bai Yu gave up her position at the cashier's counter so the store manager could go in.

"Okay, let me see your efficiency... How come you only have this much?"

The store manager couldn't help but twitch his lips as soon as he bent down.

"You have no idea what an outrageous customer just came in."

Bai Yu spoke earnestly and persuasively.

"I was immediately taken care of and couldn't help you restock."

"I don't believe you..."

The store manager chuckled, as if he were teasing, but it also sounded like he was telling the truth.

"How many girls have you fooled with that mouth of yours?"

"I'm not lying!"

Bai Yu glared at him and immediately protested.

"If you don't believe me, ask the class monitor; she knows."

"Uh-huh!"

Su Ningyu nodded in agreement.

The store manager simply smiled at this.

"Oh dear, you're all in cahoots."

"I was originally going to buy groceries, but you dragged me along to be your laborer."

Bai Yu sighed and walked out of the counter to buy groceries in the fresh produce section.

They brought over a basket of vegetables, paid the bill, and then left with the produce.

"Goodbye, store manager! Goodbye, class monitor!"

"Bye-bye, forklift!"

Goodbye, deskmate!

The two of them waved to Bai Yu at the same time, watching him disappear at the end of the road.

The supermarket counter, which had been bustling just moments before, suddenly fell silent again.

The store manager continued restocking, while Su Ningyu remained standing at the cashier waiting to pay.

As she stood there, she couldn't help but turn around and look at the store manager.

"Manager, could you tell me something about Bai Yu?"

"Oh?"

The store manager, who was squatting down to restock, suddenly turned his head around.

He raised an eyebrow, full of curiosity.

Are you interested in him?

"I just want to know..."

"You like him?"

"No!"

Su Ningyu blushed and spoke.

Bai Yu is such a good person, but he already has a girlfriend.

It was still her best friend, Qingyan.

If I still like him, that would be too cruel to Qingyan.

However, the store manager only smiled in response to her denial.

"Then I'll tell you something!"
