Chapter 241

Yu Qingshi Straightened His Back (2)

Jiang Xiaoman couldn’t stand looking at him trying to fool himself anymore3, so she reached her hand out and took the phone for him.

Sure enough, her hand touched a flip phone.

Jiang Xiaoman deftly removed the battery, then lifted it up and shook it quickly. Before anyone could see what it was, she put it into her pocket and casually said, “This is mine. I set the alarm clock this morning and forgot to turn it off. It was the sound of an alarm.”

All the students: “Whoa——”

Jiang Xiaoman continued calmly distributing the exercise papers, but Zhang Xinhua almost cried.

He and Ye Jiajia looked at each other with tears in their eyes. The two couldn’t wait to hug each other and cry!

Zhang Xinhua slogged through the rest of the class while sobbing. He ran up to Jiang Xiaoman after the class, wanting to say something.

But before he could say anything, he was pushed aside by Yu Qingshi who said nonchalantly, “If you don’t leave now, there will be no good food left in the cafeteria.”

When Jiang Xiaoman heard this, she immediately ran away.

She had long legs and could run very fast. She took the lead and rushed to the dining hall and grabbed herself sweet and sour pork ribs. After thinking about it for a bit, she also ordered another for Yu Qingshi.

As for Ye Jiajia and Zhang Xinhua, they could order for themselves. She only had two hands and couldn’t carry so many.

The four people gathered for lunch again.

Ye Jiajia and Zhang Xinhua had experienced a thrilling day, and their eyes were a little red and swollen.

They were sitting across from Jiang Xiaoman, both feeling very aggrieved like a little daughter-in-law.

Ye Jiajia took a breath, then put a chicken leg from her bowl into Jiang Xiaoman’s bowl. She said after learning from her bitter experience, “Xiaoman, thank you! If it weren’t for you, I would definitely have to write a self-reflection this morning! After thinking about it, I won’t get weird braids anymore. I’ve decided to change my mind and start anew!”

Jiang Xiaoman nodded in relief, and then accepted her chicken drumstick.

Zhang Xinhua was in shock and whispered, “Xiaoman, you may not believe it, but I didn’t bring my mobile phone to school on purpose. I was playing behind my parents’ back for a bit last night when they suddenly came to check on me, so I stuffed it into my school bag and accidentally brought it to school. ”

“Um.”

“You believe me!!!”

“Well, I believe you, I believe you.”

Zhang Xinhua also offered his chicken drumstick while crying from feeling touched. “Thank you, if not for you I would definitely have to do a self-reflection! That would be terrible!”

Jiang Xiaoman said with relief. “You also have to change your mind and be a new person.”

“Definitely!!”

Jiang Xiaoman was relieved and generously accepted his chicken drumstick.

Yu Qingshi raised his eyelids and glanced at them, silently chewing on the sweet and sour pork ribs Jiang Xiaoman had ordered for him.

So sweet, so sweet.

He moved his eyes to the two chicken drumsticks in Jiang Xiaoman’s bowl and blinked.

Yu Qingshi also wanted to offer his own sweet and sour pork ribs, but Jiang Xiaoman stopped him as soon as his chopsticks were stretched out.

Jiang Xiaoman said, “You can eat them yourself. They were meant for you. I can’t finish this all by myself.”

If it weren’t to make them remember their mistakes, she wouldn’t have accepted their chicken legs.

Listening to her words, Yu Qingshi withdrew his chopsticks, and continued to eat his sweet and sour pork ribs silently.

After eating, the two people opposite them did not forget to try their best to flatter Jiang Xiaoman, boasting that there was no one comparable to her under the sun.

Jiang Xiaoman also accepted all of them calmly.

Yu Qingshi bit his chopsticks and hesitated for a while, then suddenly his chopsticks fell to the ground.

Jiang Xiaoman looked at him, Zhang Xinhua looked at him, and Ye Jiajia was also looking at him.

Yu Qingshi said, “My chopsticks fell, can you help me pick them up?”

Before Jiang Xiaoman could say anything, Zhang Xinhua and Ye Jiajia already morphed into a pair of gate-protecting gods. One of them had a gaze that burnt like torches, and the other’s gaze was akin to a tiger eyeing its prey.

Zhang Xinhua said, “How can we trouble Xiaoman with such a small matter?”

Ye Jiajia said, “That’s right! If you don’t want to pick it up, we will!”

They each bent their waist and picked up Yu Qingshi’s pair of chopsticks, and put them back on the table. They also had a particularly proud expression, as if waiting to be praised.

Yu Qingshi looked down, looking at the chopsticks for a long time, and suddenly lost his appetite. He stared at them for a few seconds while the two continued to eat without paying him any attention. Yu Qingshi finally secretly got himself a new pair of chopsticks.

He decided not to pay any attention to these two people ever again!

After Yu Qingshi finished exchanging his chopsticks and returned to his seat, he found that there was an extra chicken leg in his bowl!

It was a big drumstick!

Yu Qingshi was taken aback.

Jiang Xiaoman raised her head and smiled. “Hurry up and eat, I can’t finish it alone. The two of them don’t have the right to eat meat today.”

“Uh-huh!”

Yu Qingshi’s appetite returned and he was energetic again. He sat down and started eating rice, chicken drumsticks, and sweet and sour pork ribs!

And finished them all clean! Not a single grain left!

Jiang Xiaoman praised, “Good, don’t waste food.”

Yu Qingshi quietly straightened his back.

“Xiaoman, I’m finished! There is not a grain left!” Zhang Xinhua said.

“Xiaoman, I’m finished too!” Ye Jiajia said.

“Yes, yes, you are all good kids.”

Yu Qingshi: “…”

He suddenly acted up again.
