Chapter 36 – Meng Yuran had already turned his head away to ignore them (2)

Meng Yuran was already accustomed to eating his mom’s cooking.

Logically, since he attended a private elementary school, there wasn’t any aspect that his school did poorly in. No matter what his school’s cafeteria meals were like, their quality would definitely be passable. Still, just like how it was easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality, he now turned up his nose at food that he hadn’t minded eating in the past.

Even when Little Chen occasionally cooked a few dishes, he couldn’t even be bothered to look at them. There was nothing that needed to be said about his school’s cafeteria meals, which were of even lower quality.

In a sixth grade classroom, Xu Jie suddenly turned his head and made eyes at Meng Yuran.

“Aunty is here again to bring you lunch.”

Thinking of how there would be delicious food to eat soon, he almost drooled. “I wonder what we’re eating today.”

Starting from each early morning when he went to school, he would spend the entire morning looking forward to eating lunch at noon…

What a productive day!

Meng Yuran was looking through the window too. Seeing that figure in the corridor, he secretly smiled.

However, after hearing Xu Jie’s words, he immediately stopped smiling…

He didn’t forget to glared Xu Jie.

Every day, he mooched food off of him…

Shameless!

“That food is made my mom.”

Meng Yuran was a bit annoyed.

Xu Jie, that dim-witted boy, didn’t hear the subtext in his words at all. He very flattering said, “I know the food is cooked by aunty. Oh, aunty’s cooking is so good. If she opens a restaurant, I would definitely go there as a customer every day… It would be so great if my mom had even 10% of aunty’s cooking skills.”

Meng Yuran: “…”

Although he was secretly feeling a bit proud, he was still feeling annoyed at his deskmate!

Xu Jie almost couldn’t stop himself from rushing out into the corridor and opening the lunchbox to see what was inside.

Finally, the bell rang. While the other students were happily packing up to go to the cafeteria, Xu Jie had already swished out of the classroom a step before his classmates. His speed was so quick that it left other people speechless.

By the time that Meng Yuran came out into the corridor, that guy was already fervently chatting away with Lin Yiyi.

“Aunty, the food you make is really too delicious!”

Xu Jie acted very familiarly and enthusiastically praised, “The desserts that Little Yuran brought last time was really yummy too. I’ve never eaten such a delicious dessert before.”

Meng Yuran, who had suddenly been affectionately called “Little Yuran” by his deskmate: “…”

That bootlicker!

And also, when was he supposed to have gotten this close to that guy? Did he think anyone could casually call him Little Yuran?

Lin Yiyi’s expression showed that she was flattered. “Really? If you like them, I’ll have Little Yuran bring those desserts again the next time I bake.”

“Really?”

Xu Jie’s eyes were glimmering, and he was smiling like an idiot. The only thing separating him for a dim-witted puppy was a cheerfully wagging tail.

Meng Yuran: “…”

He coldly looked at the two people that were happily talking and secretly thought about tying up his rascal of a deskmate.

“Aunty, have you thought about opening a bakery or restaurant?”

Xu Jie felt that eating some of his deskmate’s lunch wasn’t enough. It would be great if he could eat a full meal of aunty’s food and on weekends too. “Aunty, you’re so amazing. If you open a restaurant, I’m sure your business will do amazing well. Me and our other classmates will also come every day as customers!”

Lin Yiyi hadn’t expected that she would gain a foodie fanboy just by delivering lunch to her son.

Still, she was very happy to be praised.

Children normally wouldn’t lie. If these children thought her food tasted good, then it must be genuinely good. They wouldn’t add empty embellishments!

“Thank you for your kind words. If aunty opens a restaurant, you’ll be the first one to know. Okay?”

This little kid was really sweet. Her son had made a good friend!

Meng Yuran had already turned his head away to ignore them.
