You said you hated men, why are your eyes now full of love?

[Oh my God! Ruan Qingqing's dislike for men has dropped another five points!]

When the noble quartet left in disgrace, they could not stand the humiliation.

After receiving the information about Ruan Qingqing's attitude change, the system quickly reported the good news.

[Awesome skills! Dropping 15 points in a single day is insane. Even a grand sorcerer can’t fast-forward through a movie that quickly.]

It spun around excitedly in the air.

His excitement was like a small dog being chased by the pet shop owner and suddenly falling into a pit.

"Another five points down?"

His gaze quickly shifted to the silent girl beside him.

Ji Mu couldn't help but feel confused.

"I didn't do anything, so why did her dislike value drop?"

[Tsk, you don't get it, do you?]

A wise gleam flashed in the system's eyes.

It began to explain to the confused host.

[Everyone wants a strong friend, and Ruan Qingqing saw you beat those burly guys to a pulp. She must feel incredibly secure now.]

[With a sense of security, your friendship will naturally grow.]

[As your friendship improves, her negative feelings towards men will naturally diminish].

"I see."

After the system's thorough and logical explanation, Ji Mu finally understood.

"I didn't expect it to be so profound."

[Tsk tsk, such simple and obvious reasoning is just basic knowledge. Host, you're still too inexperienced.]

The system puffed up with pride, feeling a strange sense of superiority in emotional intelligence.

[Learn more from me, otherwise how will you become the heroine's close friend in the future?]

Ji Mu ignored it.dulhe raja

He treated all those boastful words as nothing but hot air.

The conversation ended quickly.

He looked at the girl next to him and saw that she was once again lost in thought. Feeling a bit annoyed, he snapped his fingers, "Wake up."

Ruan Qingqing snapped out of her daze and looked up.

"Classmate Ji, Ji Mu..."

"You daydream so many times a day, I might as well call you 'Silly Goose' from now on."

"Uh..."

The girl blushed and muttered softly, "It's not as exaggerated as you say."

Ji Mu didn't comment.

His gaze shifted to the girl's lunch tray and he raised an eyebrow.

"Is this all you have for lunch?"

Ruan Qingqing was slightly taken aback and followed his gaze to her tray.

It was filled with nothing but vegetables, not a trace of meat in sight.

Simple and meager.

Just looking at it was enough to kill any appetite.

She pulled her sleeves over her ankles and said hesitantly, "I... don't have much of an appetite."

As soon as the words left her mouth, she looked away awkwardly.

Even she was confused as to why she instinctively told this lie.

After all, she could usually take others' scorn and ridicule in stride.

"No appetite?"

Ji Mu thought for a moment before asking, "Can you eat all these vegetables by yourself?"

His tone was casual, without a hint of doubt about the truth of her words.

Ruan Qingqing's previously clenched fingers slowly relaxed.

"Maybe, I'm not really sure."

Maybe...

It was because of this that she wanted to maintain this ridiculous... sense of pride in front of him.

"Is that so?"

While her thoughts wavered, she heard the young man's voice beside her.

"In that case, if you can't finish, would you mind an extra pair of chopsticks?"

"Hmm?"

Ruan Qingqing's half-open cherry lips looked adorably surprised.

"It's mainly because the food I ordered for lunch was knocked over by a madman, so I'm only half full now."

The young man in front of her had no choice but to explain helplessly.

"I just ran out of money on my card, and it would take some time to reload it."

Fearing that his explanation wasn't enough, he raised two fingers in a gesture of reassurance.

"Don't worry, I don't eat much. Just a few bites of vegetables mixed with rice will be enough."

"It's not that, I... I didn't mean it like that."

Ruan Qingqing's hands kept fidgeting with her fingers.

Nervous and hesitant, she replied in a low voice.

"I just think that classmate Ji Mu just eating this is a bit too..."

"What's wrong with these dishes? Aren't they good?"

"Are they? But..."

"But what? They're really great."

Ji Mu looked at her in confusion.

"Cabbage is rich in fiber, which can promote intestinal peristalsis and relieve hunger."

"And the lotus root provides minerals and calcium, so it is a very good combination."

The young man listed various benefits, and Ruan Qingqing couldn't detect a hint of disdain.

He truly believed that these dishes were nutritious.

As this thought crossed her mind, her long eyelashes trembled.@@novelbin@@

A feeling she couldn't quite describe surged from the depths of her soul.

If she had to explain it...

It was as if someone had gently touched the tip of her heart and then tenderly caressed her fragile heart.

It left enough space and room for her remaining, albeit ridiculous, self-esteem.

"Cabbage and lotus root can be said to be the most nutritious and healthy vegetables in the cafeteria today.

The sound of his praise brought her back from her thoughts.

"I didn't expect you to choose so well. You have a great eye, silly goose."

Ruan Qingqing felt a little embarrassed by the compliment.

"It's not as good as you say..."

And I'm not... not a silly goose.

"Well, with all those advantages."

Knowing that the girl was shy, Ji Mu didn't continue the teasing.

"Classmate Ruan, could you let me add a pair of chopsticks? I'm really hungry, please, please."

"Okay."

Ruan Qingqing nodded gently, feeling a bit shy.

"As long as you don't mind."

She didn't even realize it herself, but under his subtle influence, the feelings of inferiority and gloom that lingered in her heart had diminished considerably.

Ji Mu shrugged.

If you don't mind, why should I?

She really is quite introverted.

"Thank you, Boss Ruan, for the food. You're very generous."

He clasped his hands in a sincere gesture.

"May Boss Ruan rise step by step, have a surplus year after year, get better and better grades, and become richer and richer."

"N-no way."

The young man's exaggerated behavior made Ruan Qingqing give him a playful look.

"Don't tease me."

There was a hint of shyness in her soft voice.

Her beautiful eyes lifted slightly, and the flow of her gaze revealed a charm that contrasted with her pure appearance.

Ji Mu couldn't help but feel dazed for a moment.

It wasn't her beauty that stunned him, but rather the regret that he didn't have his phone to capture this moment.

If she became famous in the future, he could definitely sell this photo for a fortune.

Compared to his regret, the floating system was already stunned, reacting almost like a normal human.

Its eyes were dazed, almost drooling.

Seeing this pig-like expression, Ji Mu secretly despised it.

Was this an artificial intelligence? No self-control at all.

Of course, he retracted his gaze.

"Then I'll get some rice and soup first."

The white rice and soup in the school cafeteria were free, so this meal wouldn't cost a penny.

How delightful.

[Host, did you notice the heroine's embarrassment and deliberately act this way to help her conceal her self-esteem?]

Noticing the fluctuations in the girl's emotions, the system admired his high emotional intelligence.

[I didn't know you were so good at that.]

"?"

Ji Mu looked confused, "No, I just wanted to get a free meal."

[...]

Dude, you're really not picky about food!

Realizing it had thought too much, the system coughed awkwardly and tried to change the subject to cover its embarrassment.

[The restaurants outside don't require recharging the meal card, which is much more convenient.]

Ji Mu didn't tease it about its mistake.

After all, when it came to the main tasks, this little pervert had indeed provided many practical and reliable ideas, so he had to give it some face.

"Going back and forth is too much trouble."

He replied lazily, following the system's theme.

"At this time, the chances of getting caught by the patrolling teachers while climbing over the wall are high, not worth it.”

[Emm..]

"Besides..."

Ji Mu paused, a gleam of opportunism flashing in his eyes.

"If I can get a free meal, why would I climb over the wall and spend unnecessary money outside? Why not take advantage of such a rare opportunity?"

[Uh..]

"By the way, I think there are some cheap side dishes in the cafeteria. Maybe I can ask the cafeteria lady for some. After all, not many people are eating right now."

Listening to his quiet planning, the system was speechless.

If you're so stingy, why don't you use the paper from the trash can when you go to the bathroom?
