I don't want to be your wife.

"It's been so long since I've tasted the flavors of No. 1 Middle School, let's go!"

Chapter 169 What to Eat

The cafeteria at No. 1 High School has a variety of food stalls, and the variety of dishes even surpasses that of many university cafeterias.

This is even with the third and fourth floors closed off; the first and second floors alone could provide a regular student with a different meal every day for a year.

"What do you want to eat? First floor or second floor?"

This is a classic question.

Eating is an essential act for survival, but when faced with multiple choices, coupled with the indecisiveness that everyone experiences, it can become a very troublesome thing.

Ever since Su Mumu asked the question, the three of them have fallen into a prolonged silence.

Nobody knew what to eat.

"You guys decide, I don't know where to eat."

Qin Feng was the first to shift the blame, saying that Su Mumu usually cooks at home and orders food when they go out, and he has become the type who can't eat without Su Mumu.

"No, no, no, Xiaoyang and I have already eaten our way through the cafeteria, but you haven't. We're going to take care of you."

Su Mumu took a step to the side, this time standing next to Xiang Yangxuan, and started tugging at Qin Feng.

The two of them chatted back and forth, ignoring the countless middle-aged women passing by the windows calling out what they wanted to eat, and walked around the cafeteria before arriving at the entrance once again.

"Qin Feng! If you don't tell us what we want to eat soon, we're going to go hungry! It's already seven o'clock!"

Qin Feng was truly at a loss. He looked around at all the cafeteria windows and thought for a moment.

"How about we go there?"

Qin Feng pointed to the self-service restaurant located in a corner of the cafeteria.

"OK, let's go eat there then."

Without much thought, Su Mumu and Xiang Yangxuan agreed to Qin Feng's proposal.

Self-selection is a lifesaver for college students.

If you don't know what to eat, then go to the buffet.

Because it tastes good? No!

Why? Because the self-service option has everything, and if you want a little bit of everything, there's no point in choosing.

For Su Mumu and her two friends, the self-service options held the same status. Fortunately, the food at the cafeteria's self-service restaurants was decent; although not as good as Su Mumu's cooking, it had the unique school flavor.

"What kind of food are you picking at? It's all meat. Where are the vegetables? You keep telling me to eat more vegetables, but you're all meat yourself."

When Su Mumu and Qin Feng met at the cashier, Qin Feng glanced at Su Mumu's plate and saw that it was full of meat.

"Huh? Nobody would choose their own food and then add vegetables, would they?"

Su Mumu looked into Qin Feng's plate and found that it contained not only vegetables, but also seasonings such as chili peppers, onions, garlic cloves, and star anise.

Damn! No wonder he's a rich guy who doesn't lack money, he's so generous!

"Isn't this a waste of money? The chili peppers and stuff will end up in the trash anyway. If I just put them on your plate, I'll just be charging you extra."

It's not about taking advantage of others, it's just about saving money within the rules, you understand?

Su Mumu tried her best to teach people who were not short of money how to save money, but in the end she still failed.

How much could this little bit of stuff cost? The ingredients Su Mumu uses for cooking at home every day are more expensive than this, and Su Mumu didn't seem to be saving money back then.

"Should I put it back?"

"That's not what I meant. It wouldn't be good to put it back now. Oh well, whatever you want. You're not short of money anyway!"

Su Mumu didn't want to say much. She took Xiang Yangxuan's student card and paid the bill for herself and Qin Feng.

Qin Feng didn't say anything either. Su Mumu wasn't the type to do that anymore. She usually spent her own money lavishly, but she was strangely frugal in certain areas.

There have been instances before where Qin Feng spent tens of yuan on gas to visit several supermarkets just to save two cents on a bag of salt.

"Xiao Yang, how about you treat us to a meal? I'll treat you to milk tea tonight!"

Su Mumu returned the student card to Xiang Yangxuan; her own card was at home. As for taking out her phone in public…

It's peak dining time now, so I'm being a little disrespectful to the teachers on duty nearby.

"No, it's alright. Mu... Mu Mu doesn't need to worry about so much."

"Hmm, really? Let me see!"

Su Mumu nimbly slid to the side and grabbed Xiang Yangxuan's hand as he was about to get food.

"You only ate this little bit? This isn't your appetite, is it? And you tried to cover it with rice, were you afraid I'd find out?"

Xiang Yangxuan's plate didn't have as much food as Su Mumu's. Normally, Xiang Yangxuan would eat at least twice as much.

"No, I'm on a diet lately, and I don't want to eat so much..."

Xiang Yangxuan tried to snatch his plate back, but Su Mumu held on tightly.

"Don't move. Here, have some of mine. You're so tired, you should eat more. I'll just eat Qin Feng's later."

Su Mumu shared a lot of the food on her plate with Xiang Yangxuan, leaving herself with less than half, and even gave Xiang Yangxuan a large spoonful of rice.

"I know you're short of money. You used to shamelessly borrow money from me every day. Why are you being so polite with me now? Don't be so formal!"

Just as Su Mumu was displaying touching brotherhood, Qin Feng's sarcasm interrupted Su Mumu's performance.

"Although what you said sounds cool, it's really despicable to say such things while taking free meals from the school and using other people's money."

Su Mumu's hand froze. Qin Feng's words seemed to make sense, but something was wrong. However, there was no need to think about it too much; it was definitely Qin Feng's problem.

"That's because you took so much! You're not allowed to eat any more, you can eat mine, that's enough."

Su Mumu snatched Qin Feng's plate again and gave Qin Feng her plate with the last bit of food left.

"Xiao Yang, let's go! Don't let this guy ruin our brotherhood!"

Xiang Yangxuan was almost in tears, but after hearing Su Mumu's words, he suddenly laughed.

"Pfft, hahaha, as expected, Mu Mu, you're still the same as before, just like I remember you, not changed at all."

The only thing that has changed is the people around me...

"What's wrong with him? Haven't I been telling him this all along? Is he only realizing it now?"

Su Mumu pulled Qin Feng away a little, pretending not to know Xiang Yangxuan. To others, Xiang Yangxuan suddenly started laughing like a fool, which attracted some strange looks.

"Who knows? Maybe we should just ignore him and leave on our own."

Qin Feng felt uncomfortable doing anything while spending time with Xiang Yangxuan, and he had long wanted to leave Xiang Yangxuan and Su Mumu behind.

"It's not easy to see Xiaoyang, so please bear with it. I know you don't like Xiaoyang, just consider it keeping me company~"

"Well, since you've put it that way, what else can I do?"

Qin Feng could only rub Su Mumu's head vigorously as a way of venting his dissatisfaction.

"Xiao Yang, are you alright?"

Only after Xiang Yangxuan calmed down and returned to their side did Su Mumu tentatively ask.

"Okay, it's alright now, let's eat."

Xiang Yangxuan wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

The estrangement between the two may have been largely reduced in this way.

Chapter 170 Rehearsal

After quickly finishing their dinner, the three of them went to the gymnasium again.

"Hurry up, it's about to begin!"

Su Mumu kept urging the two of them on, so Qin Feng walked slowly, letting Su Mumu push him from behind.

"No rush, no rush, it's only 7:30, take your time."

As Xiang Yangxuan said, even when they were fooling around when they went in, the gatekeeper didn't say anything.

"The gymnasium at No. 1 Middle School is quite big; I didn't even notice it from the outside."

Even Qin Feng felt that this gymnasium was really big; such a scale was indeed rare for a high school.

"Huh? But isn't the Qin family in the real estate business? Don't you know that?"

"I don't know. I haven't fully taken over the Qin family yet. You'll have to ask my fourth uncle about these details."

After a moment's recollection, Qin Feng shook his head. He didn't know everything about the Qin family yet, and his second uncle hadn't come looking for him as his grandmother had said.

"Mumu, you guys go find a place to sit down first. I'm a volunteer and I need to help out, otherwise Chairman Song will scold me."

Xiang Yangxuan was already very happy to have spent so much time with Su Mumu, and now he should continue with what he needed to do.

However, before leaving, there was one last thing he wanted to know.

"Mumu, will you come to see the performance here on the night of the company's annual party?"

Even if Su Mumu doesn't come, Xiang Yangxuan can't refuse the task of doing free labor, but if she does come...

"They'll be here! Just between you and me, remember to find a seat near the front; there'll be a surprise!"

"A little further ahead? Hmm, I'll figure something out! Well then, I'll be going now!"

Having received Su Mumu's affirmative reply, Xiang Yangxuan seemed to suddenly gain motivation, and left after saying goodbye to Su Mumu.

"Remember to come back and find me later, I still want to treat you to milk tea!"

After calling out to Xiang Yangxuan's departing figure, Su Mumu started pulling Qin Feng to find a seat.

There were quite a few people inside the venue, and people were still coming in from the entrance. It seems that it's not a secret that senior high school students can enter, but Su Mumu just didn't know it.

"How about we sit in a corner, in the middle corner?"

Su Mumu pointed to the middle rows and the seats on the side. These seats had a good view, were easy to run around in, and were also secluded. They were obviously places for couples to meet secretly. Usually, no one would disturb the couples, and they could also reduce attention.

"OK, that place is indeed nice."

Qin Feng had been troubled by Xiang Yangxuan's existence for a long time, and that place was a good place to secretly do some bad things.

The rehearsal will begin soon.

The four hosts on stage were two men and two women. The women were Song Jiuyao and Lin Yuting, and the man, Su Mumu, was someone whose name I didn't remember but whose face I recognized. He was also a popular figure at school.

Song Jiuyao and Lin Yuting are indeed very beautiful, and the two boys are also extremely handsome. With their dresses and suits, and their elegant demeanor, the four of them were the center of everyone's attention, even during rehearsals.

If Su Mumu weren't in this state now, she would probably also be full of longing for the people on stage.

Su Mumu wasn't the only one who thought this way; many people were stunned until the opening remarks were finished, at which point everyone came to their senses.

The first few performances were just warm-up acts, including a few decent group performances and solos. After Jay Chou's rap, it was all about the talented students showing off their skills.

"Seriously, No. 1 High School produces so many big shots every year."

Seeing all those top students who consistently ranked high on the exam lists, were also incredibly good-looking, and were equally skilled at playing musical instruments, Su Mumu felt utterly useless, knowing she was just average at everything.

"Don't even think about it. If someone like you is already sighing, how are ordinary people supposed to live?"

In Qin Feng's eyes, Su Mumu was already a prodigy.

She's accomplished in both literature and martial arts, adept in both business and politics, beautiful and kind-hearted, and an exceptional cook. Aside from her social status, she has no flaws. Unlike myself, who is nothing without the Qin family.

"Hey, if it weren't for the pressure of life, I wouldn't have learned so many things. If I had as much money as you, I would definitely just laze around for the rest of my life."

"Then I'll make a lot of money and let you slack off for the rest of your life."

"Oh??"

Instead of letting Qin Feng continue to take advantage of the situation, Su Mumu chose to watch everyone rehearse.

"By the way, there's only a little over a week left. Are you sure you can prepare a program of their caliber?"

After seeing the rehearsal program, Qin Feng began to worry about Su Mumu, since he had never seen Su Mumu have any talent.

"You just said I was all-around capable, and now you don't trust me anymore? Don't worry, I'll train intensively for a while, and I should be able to do it by now."

After seeing the rehearsal, Su Mumu had a pretty good idea of ​​her program. In fact, she had already decided on it beforehand and was just checking if it was suitable.

"Give me a hint first, what are you planning to perform, and when are you planning to go on stage?"

"No, it's no fun if we reveal it beforehand. As for when we'll be on stage, I'm watching right now, aren't I?"
