Chapter 223 The feeling of fullness
Nan Xubai was a little confused and looked at Jiang Qingchu with his eyes open, but still nodded obediently.
"But...I can hear it."
Jiang Qingchu's eyes felt sore and he turned his head away.
Nan Xubai looked at Jiang Qingchu's red eyes and felt a little at a loss.
But what he didn't know was that because of Liu Guanglin's violent beating, he could no longer hear with his right ear.
"Jiang Qingchu? Are you unhappy about something?"
To be honest, Nan Xubai was a little nervous because he and Jiang Qingchu had almost no connection.
However, Nan Xubai likes Jiang Qingchu, and only he knows it.
In his opinion, this love is shameful, just like the moss in the dark corner trying to climb the warm trumpet creeper.
It's just wishful thinking.
"No...I'm very happy."
Jiang Qingchu looked at Nan Xubai without blinking, as if he was afraid that the other person would disappear in the next second.
Then, carefully cupping his face.
"How about you? How are you? Did you eat well?"
Nan Xubai had his face held in the hands, and he felt the heat from those big hands, as if it could burn him.
He lowered his eyes somewhat embarrassedly.
Jiang Qingchu knew that Nan Xubai must not have eaten well.
During Nan Xubai's short 23 years, poverty almost permeated his entire life.
"Can I treat you to dinner?"
"what?"
"I said...can I treat you to a meal? Nan Xubai..."
Jiang Qingchu knew that Nan Xubai would definitely not refuse.
“But I’m still in class.”
"Are you hungry?" Jiang Qingchu asked.
Nan Xubai was stunned for a moment. He had never thought about this question.
He only knew that the monthly allowance he received was only enough for him to eat one meal a day, apart from the money left for his grandmother's medicine.
In his opinion, maybe being hungry or not is not important, or maybe he doesn’t know what hunger and fullness are.
He shook his head very honestly: "I don't know."
"But Jiang Qingchu is hungry. Are you willing to accompany Jiang Qingchu to dinner? Because Jiang Qingchu doesn't like to eat alone, so are you willing?"
He included the three words "Jiang Qingchu" in every sentence, as if to let Nan Xubai know that he was always there.
Jiang Qingchu knew that he would definitely not refuse, because it would be difficult for Nan Xubai to refuse Jiang Qingchu.
"okay..."
The two came to the school cafeteria. As it was almost the last class, some students were already eating.
Jiang Qingchu pulled Nan Xubai straight to the second floor, where all the dishes could be ordered a la carte.
He skillfully ordered several dishes, then handed the menu to Nan Xubai, who was a little embarrassed.
"That's all I want."
Jiang Qingchu took a quick look and saw that he had indeed ordered the cheapest stir-fried cabbage. Jiang Qingchu didn't say anything and ordered two more dishes.
Nan Xubai lowered his head, thinking about something.
Others may not know, but Jiang Qingchu knows that Nan Xubai must be calculating how much the meal will cost.
The food was served soon and Jiang Qingchu picked up Nan Xubai's bowl.
I took some of all the food from the plate and put it into his bowl until there was no more room.
"Try it, this braised fish is delicious..."
Nan Xubai hesitated for a moment, but finally picked up the chopsticks, picked up a small piece of braised fish and put it into his mouth.
It really smells good, no wonder Jiang Qingchu likes it.
Jiang Qingchu secretly observed Nan Xubai while eating. Seeing him eat so carefully, he felt a pang of sadness in his heart.
"Eat more, then go back and have a good sleep." Jiang Qingchu said.
Nan Xubai raised his head and carefully picked up a piece of fish and put it into Jiang Qingchu's bowl.
"You eat too."
The meal was eaten in unusual silence, with only the faint sound of chewing.
Finally, Nan Xubai put down his chopsticks reluctantly until he could eat no more.
Jiang Qingchu raised his eyes, looked at Nan Xubai, and reached out to remove the rice grains from his mouth.
"Are you full?"
Nan Xubai looked at the rice grains and felt a little embarrassed, but still nodded seriously. He was not only full, but also very stuffed.
"So... Nan Xubai, now that you know what it feels like to be full, you should eat your fill from now on, okay?"
"Huh?" Nan Xubai was stunned for a moment.
"Would you like to have dinner with me tonight?"
Nan Xubai nodded gently, "Okay."
A smile appeared on Jiang Qingchu's face, and that smile was as warm as the sun.
Nan Xubai pressed his head on the textbook, watching the warm yellow sunlight pass through the glass and hit his desk obliquely.
He felt a little dazed for a moment, as if he had never met Jiang Qingchu and everything was an illusion.
As the bell rang, life seemed to come alive again from a stagnant state.
Nan Xubai just stood up from his seat and looked at the playground anxiously.
But before he could go find Jiang Qingchu, he was stopped by someone.
"Running so fast? Do you want to reincarnate?" Liu Guanglin's face was still a little swollen, and he came over to block Nan Xubai as soon as the get out of class was over.
He was followed by a group of younger brothers.
Nan Xubai thought, if he wanted to beat him, he should do it quickly, he wanted to find Jiang Qingchu.
Slowly place your hands on the table.
He subconsciously covered his chest. He couldn't kick this place anymore or it would break. He wanted to stay alive to see Jiang Qingchu.
"You haven't finished my homework yet." Liu Guanglin slowly approached him and threw the homework in his hand in his face.
Nan Xubai closed his eyes subconsciously, and the exercise book hit his face with a bang, and the pages scratched him a little.
"You've made a new friend, Nan Xubai is great!"
Nan Xubai bent down to pick up the exercise book and looked at Liu Guanglin with his eyes open.
"I'll write it for you when I get back." After saying that, he wanted to walk around the other person and leave.
However, Liu Guanglin's younger brothers stopped him and pushed him with their hands.
"Write right here. You're not allowed to go home until you finish!"
"I...I have something to do. I will definitely write to you when I get back!"
However, the other party did not give him any choice at all. He grabbed his hair, pulled him hard and threw him onto the chair.
Nan Xubai subconsciously shrank back, he didn't know how to resist the violence inflicted on him.
After countless beatings, he barely figured out which posture would be less painful when being beaten.
"I'll definitely write to you when I get back. I can't stay here today."
However, Liu Guanglin seemed to dislike his rebellious look, so he grabbed his hair and slammed him hard against the desk.
He closed his eyes tightly, waiting for the pain to come, but a pair of hands were placed on his forehead.
"Are you OK?"
Before Nan Xubai could reply, Jiang Qingchu took him by one hand and picked up a stool with the other hand and threw it at those people.
The corners of the stool were very sharp and it would hurt to hit someone with it, but Jiang Qingchu rushed towards those people as if he was risking his life.
There was a fierceness in his eyes. Those people seemed to have never seen such a crazy person before and subconsciously stepped back.
By the time they reacted, Jiang Qingchu had already run away with Nan Xubai.
