Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation-Chapter 618 - 388 A Flaw_3

...

Several minutes later, most students were seated and eating, and the vast cafeteria was well-ordered and harmonious.

At table 7, Zhao Xiaofeng took a bite of beef and said to Qi Tianheng, "Brother Tian, why aren’t you eating?"

The whole table was eating, except for Qi Tianheng, who sat there motionless.

Qi Tianheng lazily smiled, "I’m waiting."

Zhao Xiaofeng asked, "Waiting for what?"

"Waiting for the person who should be here," he replied.

"Has he arrived yet?"

"He’ll be here soon."

Their conversation drew curious looks from Dong Jiayi, Fang Qiuyue, and Yun Tingting at the neighboring table.

Wei Xiu Yuan pushed around some rice in his bowl, internally grumbling, ’Freaking psycho.’

30 seconds later, a man in a suit appeared at the entrance of the cafeteria, carrying a large brown wooden food container, and walked up the steps.

Soon, under the gaze of students and teachers, he made his way to table 7.

The man in the suit said respectfully, "Mr. Qi, here’s your lunch."

As he spoke, he placed the large food container on the table, and Fang Qiuyue noticed that he was wearing a pair of white gloves.

Qi Tianheng nodded slightly and the suited man said, "Please enjoy your meal."

After speaking, he slowly retreated.

By this time, not only table 7 but also students at many surrounding tables were casting curious glances their way.

Zhao Xiaofeng said loudly, "Brother Tian, your employee has come to deliver food again!"

Qi Tianheng replied indifferently, "Sorry, I forgot to tell him to cancel it."

Zhao Xiaofeng stood up, rubbing his hands, "Let me see what he brought!"

He opened the food container, exaggeratedly lifted out a dish, and exclaimed in shock, "This is Crab Treasure, made with crab meat, crab roe, and cheese. I heard it costs hundreds for a serving!"

Qi Tianheng commented, "Too rich."

Zhao Xiaofeng brought out another dish, "This is melt-in-your-mouth foie gras, devoid of any fishy taste or excessive seasoning, just to preserve the original flavor." frёewebnoѵēl.com

Qi Tianheng remarked, "Too greasy."

"And this is eel rice with nori and red ginger strips."

Qi Tianheng remarked, "Too sweet."

With every dish Zhao Xiaofeng named, Qi Tianheng had an objection. The playful back-and-forth caught the attention of all the nearby students.

The girls at the table kept sneaking glances his way, and at this moment, Qi Tianheng felt incredibly pleased.

Wei Xiu Yuan noticed that his crush, Dong Jiayi, was also looking at this show-off, Qi Tianheng.

He smiled handsomely, "Bro, I’m really envious. Those dishes look expensive."

Qi Tianheng felt smug.

Unexpectedly, Wei Xiu Yuan asked nonchalantly, "I earned a few thousand distributing flyers last summer break, but I wouldn’t dare eat anything so expensive. You must be really capable; what kind of work do you do?"

He was insinuating that the other was still just a student, with no capability of his own, only able to spend his parents’ money.

Qi Tianheng, catching the sarcasm, stiffened and was momentarily at a loss for words.

Zhao Xiaofeng, ever the loyal sidekick, frowned in thought then said:

"My Brother Tian works in parental psychology."

Qi Tianheng admitted openly, "That’s right."

Rather than hide it, better to acknowledge it—his family was rich, so what?

Wei Xiu Yuan was left speechless.

Qi Tianheng regained his composure and confidence. At this moment, he was the brightest presence in the entire cafeteria.

Just then, Geng Lu grabbed two lunch boxes and ran over to the rice container, remembering she had forgotten something.

From a bit of a distance, she took a deep breath, put some effort into it, and shouted, "Jiang Ning, how much rice do you want?"

Jiang Ning replied, "Fill it up."

Geng Lu said, "Okay, good."

After filling the rice, she jogged back with the lunch boxes, her beautiful features and the adrenaline of the whole situation drawing the boys’ eyes.

Qi Tianheng suddenly felt unhappy—why was that?
