She is so pitiful? I choose to pity myself first

but……

As expected of a young master from a wealthy family in the imperial capital, even after being sent back to his biological parents' home, the ointment he used was so effective...

That might be what the young master brought with him when he was with his adoptive parents. It is very likely the last box...

When he thought of this, Lin Tingyu still felt a little guilty.

【Did you take it back? 】

【No. 】

How could he be so stupid? If he saw that she didn't need it, wouldn't he take it back himself? He even had the nerve to say that it was the only box of this kind in Province S...

This thought suddenly popped up in Lin Tingyu's mind, and she even glared at Gu Shiye with some displeasure.

She herself didn't notice that, because of this, when she looked at Shi Ye, she no longer felt distant, as if she was looking at someone from another world.

As soon as the get out of class was over, Lin Tingyu stood up:

"I'll find it."

Gu Shiye was about to stop her, but Lin Qingyu was faster than he expected. As soon as he said the first word, she was already on the podium.

Lin Tingyu searched for a long time but couldn't find the box of ointment. She asked everyone in the class, but they all said they hadn't seen it.

Only one girl asked her curiously:

"Didn't you put the ointment there yourself? Why are you looking for it now?"

Lin Tingyu was speechless. She couldn't say that she didn't know whose it was at the time, but now she knew it was Gu Shiye's...

It seems that Gu Shiye doesn’t want this matter to be exposed?

Lin Tingyu responded casually, returned to his seat, and continued to write a note to Gu Shiye:

【I will find the same one and return it to you. 】

Seeing her serious look, Gu Shiye's eyes showed a little more smile:

[What you can't find is that it is manually mixed and not available for delivery. 】

【……Oh. 】

Lin Tingyu was suddenly a little disappointed.

[How much is it? I will compensate you. ]

Gu Shiye stared at the line of words and sighed in his heart.

I really don't want to have anything to do with him at all...

The more she acted like this, the less he wanted to do as she wished.

Gu Shiye wrote the next line:

[No need for money, I'm not familiar with this place, the food in the cafeteria is too bad, please take me to some good restaurants.]

In other words, being a tour guide?

It's not a big deal.

Lin Tingyu replied:

【also. 】

The two quickly made an appointment, and as soon as school was over at noon, they left the campus one after the other in tacit understanding.

"Do you eat mixed noodles?"

"eat."

The boy still said very little, so Lin Tingyu didn't care. In her opinion, it was just her compensation to Gu Shiye.

This is the future richest man, I can't owe him money, otherwise he might remember it for the rest of his life...

No, what was she thinking?

How could he care about such things after becoming the richest man?

She just doesn't want to owe anyone anything.

So, Lin Tingyu took Gu Shiye to the wonton shop where she had eaten since she was a child and which she would think of from time to time after leaving the city for the college entrance examination. She ordered two bowls of mixed noodles, and after thinking about it, added a serving of mixed wontons.

This young master probably has never been to this kind of small shop since he was a child.

However, I have been back to my biological parents' home for more than half a month, so I should have adapted to it, right?

Lin Tingyu was thinking and didn't notice that she was staring at Gu Shiye.

At school, she could go a whole day without even looking at him.

Gu Shiye lowered his long eyelashes, mixed the noodles calmly, took a bite, and a light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

really……

delicious.

It was in no way inferior to the delicacies he had eaten since he was a child.

It was a small bowl of noodles. The sauce on top seemed to be made of eggplant, minced meat, and chili. I don’t know what seasoning was used, but it tasted fresh, fragrant, and smooth. The noodles were not mushy at all, and each strand was distinct. The boss was an elderly couple, and they were not stingy with the sauce. After mixing, every mouthful of noodles was full of sauce, minced meat, and eggplant…

I took another bite of the wontons mixed with red oil and peanut butter. The meat was equally sweet, and combined with the spicy flavor of the red oil and peanut butter, I wanted to eat another one after eating one.

The proprietress brought another big bowl of soup:

"Xiao Tingyu, are you bringing your classmates here today?"

Lin Tingyu smiled:

"Yes, Grandma Su."

"Eat more. If it's not enough, ask grandma for more!"

"it is good."

Gu Shiye took a sip of the soup and found that it seemed to be made with only chopped green onions floating in it. It was not like the noodle soup in ordinary small shops at all. Instead, it seemed to be specially made. Although nothing was added, it tasted very sweet.

Gu Shiye hasn't had a good meal in the past month.

Perhaps because he had been a picky eater since he was a child, Gu Shiye usually wouldn't touch anything that didn't taste good, so when he ate in the school cafeteria, he basically never felt full.

The same thing happened when I went out to eat later.

The ones around the school either cater to students' favorite fried foods, grilled sausages, etc., or they emphasize affordability but the taste is average.

The food did not meet Gu Shiye's standards.

He didn't have much hope in the first place. He just thought that in a small town like this, the food would probably be like this. After all, there were people who couldn't even afford to eat. He could see beggars in the town from time to time.

Unexpectedly, the food at the restaurant that Lin Tingyu brought him to would be so delicious...

He eats very slowly, and even if he thinks the food is delicious, he eats it quite elegantly.

He was so elegant that he seemed as if he was eating pasta and steak in a Western restaurant where the average cost per person was several thousand yuan.

Lin Tingyu took a closer look, but after making sure that Gu Shiye didn't mind the food here, she withdrew her gaze and started eating.

"Why don't you drink the soup?"

Lin Tingyu was stunned.

The proprietress gave her a portion of soup. It was the same on weekdays when she came to eat with her mother, or when her father was still alive, the three of them would come together as a family. Usually the proprietress would only give her one bowl of soup, the only difference was the size of the bowl.

Of course, the family drank together and didn't mind.

Even if the other guests who came with you were just colleagues, they probably wouldn’t mind sharing a bowl for two.

but……

He? Don't mind?

Lin Tingyu looked at Gu Shiye inquiringly.

But the words that came out of his mouth were: "I'm not thirsty."

Not thirsty?

Although the mixed noodles and wontons are just the right amount of salty, eating them for a long time will still make you thirsty. Isn’t she thirsty?

Gu Shiye stared at the bowl without saying anything.

When he had almost finished eating, he stood up:

"I'm going to wash my hands."

Maybe he was going to the toilet? I heard that people in big cities always say they are going to wash their hands when they go to the toilet.

Lin Tingyu thought so and didn't think much about it. He ate the remaining food, stood up and asked the boss to pay the bill.

Two servings of mixed noodles, one serving of mixed wontons, and a free bowl of soup only cost 18 yuan.

This is normal. After all, the food here is made with real ingredients. Even the meat in the wontons is bought from a local pork shop in town every day and is hand-beaten. Naturally, it is worth the price.

However, apart from workers working at nearby construction sites, not many locals are willing to spend money to eat here.

After all, cooking at home is more affordable.
