Chapter 221 Active Senior
In this way, they asked each other questions and didn't even bother to pack up their things.
By noon, Chen Jing's stomach was growling. She said a little embarrassedly, "Oh, I was so busy asking questions that I'm starving."
Zhang Xin finally reacted: "Haha, I'm hungry too. Let's go to the cafeteria to eat."
In order to avoid causing a sensation, Nan Qiao quickly changed his clothes and put on a mask and a baseball cap.
Arriving at a cafeteria, Xu Qing said with sparkling eyes, "This cafeteria looks quite clean and tidy, with the tables and chairs neatly arranged."
Zhang Xin looked around and said, "Wow, there seems to be sweet and sour pork ribs in that window over there. That's my favorite."
Chen Jing said slowly, "Let me see if there are any lighter dishes, like stir-fried seasonal vegetables."
Nan Qiao looked out the window and said, "I'll get some Kung Pao Chicken and a plate of stir-fried broccoli."
As Nan Qiao walked out of the cafeteria window carrying her meal tray, she accidentally bumped into a tall boy. She looked up and quickly said, "Sorry."
The boy was tall and handsome, wearing a simple white shirt and jeans, looking very student-like.
The boy saw Nan Qiao's eyes light up, and he smiled gently at her, "It's okay."
Nan Qiao nodded and took the plate to find Zhang Xin and the others.
Zhang Xin and the others sat in the corner of the cafeteria with their plates in hand. Zhang Xin looked at Nan Qiao's outfit and couldn't help laughing: "We feel so stealthy like this, like we're thieves."
Chen Jing raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said calmly: "But it's quite exciting."
Xu Qing covered her mouth and laughed, saying nothing.
Zhang Xin's eyes fell on Xu Qing's plate, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he asked, "Xu Qing, is this all you're going to eat?"
Upon hearing this, Nan Qiao also looked in the direction she was looking.
There was only a bowl of white rice on Xu Qing's plate, and a small portion of scrambled eggs with tomatoes placed alone in a corner, while the rest of the plate was occupied by kimchi and seaweed egg drop soup provided free of charge by the cafeteria.
Xu Qing raised her head slightly, a frank smile on her face, and said frankly: "My family is not well off, and my parents can't give me much living expenses, so I can only spend frugally."
"But it doesn't matter. I'll have a good meal after I earn some money from my part-time job."
Zhang Xin paused after hearing this, then immediately said enthusiastically, "Eat mine, this sweet and sour spare ribs is delicious."
"No, no, really." Xu Qing quickly waved her hand to refuse.
Zhang Xin still insisted, "We're all roommates together, don't be so formal."
Xu Qing shook her head firmly and said, "Although we are roommates, I would feel bad if I always took advantage of you."
"Look, even though my meal is simple and only costs three dollars, it contains carbohydrates, protein, and dietary fiber. It's nutritionally balanced. You really don't have to worry about me."
Seeing Xu Qing so insistent, Zhang Xin didn't force it anymore.
She thought for a moment, then carefully picked out the largest piece of pork ribs from her plate and placed it in Xu Qing's bowl. She smiled and said, "I won't force you, but at least try this piece of pork ribs."
"Okay, thank you." Xu Qing accepted it with a smile.
Nan Qiao had just taken off her mask and was about to eat when the boy who had just bumped into her at the window came over with a tray of food.
He wore a gentle and polite smile on his face, his eyes swept lightly over the faces of several girls, and his voice was soft and charming: "There are no seats anywhere else. Can I sit with you?"
Zhang Xin's eyes lit up instantly, and she moved closer to the other girls, lowering her voice and excitedly saying, "Wow, so handsome!"
Seeing that no one objected, she immediately raised her head and replied to the boy with a bright smile: "Of course."
The boy sat down gracefully, his posture straight and natural, his eyes filled with curiosity and friendliness. He was the first to ask, "Are you freshmen? I'm your senior, Ling Zixuan, from the Finance Department. Nice to meet you."
Zhang Xin couldn't wait to say, "Hello, senior. My name is Zhang Xin. I'm from the Art Department, majoring in painting."
Xu Qing smiled slightly and said softly, "Hello, senior. My name is Xu Qing, and I'm from the Chinese department."
Chen Jing pushed up her glasses and introduced herself slowly, "My name is Chen Jing, from the Computer Science Department."
Nan Qiao wiped the corner of her mouth and said politely, "Hello, senior. My name is Nan Qiao, and I'm from the Biology Department."
Senior Ling Zixuan nodded slightly, a faint smile on his face, and said, "The Biology Department is very good. Maybe you can achieve great things in the field of scientific research in the future."
His gaze lingered on Nan Qiao for a moment longer, as if he had a special concern for her.
Zhang Xin asked curiously, "Senior, are there any particularly interesting clubs or activities on campus? We've just enrolled and don't know much about them yet."
Ling Zixuan put down his chopsticks, thought for a moment, and then replied, "That's quite a lot. For example, the photography club often organizes field trips outside the school, and they can take a lot of beautiful photos."
"The drama club puts on wonderful performances every semester, and the stage effects are superb. There's also the Volunteer Association, which often organizes various charity events. It's very meaningful to meet many like-minded friends."
Chen Jing is quite interested in the photography club: "The photography club's field trips should help me hone my skills. I'm quite tempted."
Nan Qiao was also listening attentively, secretly considering whether he should join some clubs to broaden his horizons.
At this time, Ling Zixuan looked at Nan Qiao with a questioning look in his eyes: "Schoolmate, I saw you were wearing a mask just now, are you feeling unwell?"
Nan Qiao's heart tightened, and she quickly explained, "No, no, I just had some cold symptoms today, and I was afraid of infecting everyone, so I wore a mask."
She didn't dare tell the real reason, for fear of causing unnecessary sensation.
Ling Zixuan said with concern: "Then you must rest more and drink plenty of water. The school clinic is on the east side of the campus, so it's very convenient if you need to buy medicine."
"Thank you for your concern, senior." Nan Qiao said.
After the meal, Ling Zixuan took the initiative to help clean up the dishes. His movements were skillful and natural, showing his good upbringing.
Zhang Xin whispered to Nan Qiao, "This senior is not only handsome, but also so gentlemanly. He's just perfect."
Nan Qiao smiled but didn't respond.
After Ling Zixuan came back, he still had that gentle spring breeze smile on his face and said, "It's my honor to meet such lovely schoolmates like you today."
"Why don't we add a green bubble? If you need any help in the future, you can always come to me."
As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone and showed his QR code to Zhang Xin first.
Zhang Xin scanned it excitedly, and after successfully adding the person, he playfully sent a cute emoticon.
