Reborn not to be a simp, the school beauty's whole family goes crazy

On the campus of Sunshine Middle School, the bell ringing to signal the end of the last class in the morning is like a bugle call to charge.

Students poured out of the classrooms and headed towards the bustling cafeteria.

"Mengran, shall we go out for lunch together later, the three of us?"

Chen Dong sat in his seat, looking tenderly at his deskmate Chu Mengran, and said with a smile.

Chu Mengran was slightly taken aback, then quickly shook her head.

A shy blush spread across her cheeks.

"Huh? The same as yesterday? That won't do, it's too expensive."

Chu Mengran couldn't help but recall the delicious braised pork and steamed fish from yesterday.

I felt incredibly embarrassed.

Chen Dong was deeply moved. If it were that wicked woman Shen Yue, she would have happily enjoyed it long ago.

He doesn't care whether the food is expensive or not; the question is how many times he can afford to buy it.

Chen Dong pretended to be deep in thought, and after a moment said, "Then, shall we just make some big pot dishes?"

"You, me, Guo Miao?" Chu Mengran asked hesitantly.

"Of course," Chen Dong replied calmly.

He knew that Chu Mengran would definitely have reservations if he didn't involve Guo Miao.

After all, the two of them were on a date, and Guo Miao was just a classmate who was simply having a meal together.

Sure enough, upon hearing that Guo Miao was involved, Chu Mengran's tense nerves calmed down slightly, and she nodded gently in agreement.

Then, Chu Mengran smiled and said, "Chen Dong, I'm sorry to have troubled you these two times. I'll treat you and Guo Miao to lunch tomorrow."

“Okay, but you only need to invite me.” Chen Dong’s eyes lit up, and he didn’t hesitate to leave his best friend Guo Miao out of the picture.

Guo Miao, who had just walked over to ask Dong Ge what he wanted for lunch, twitched at the corner of his mouth and thought to himself, "Damn it, this is the familiar taste of prioritizing women over friends, it's definitely Dong Ge himself."

At the same time, Hu Yanghui left his seat and came to Shen Yue's side, looking at her expectantly.

His eyes held a hint of ingratiation and caution as he softly asked, "Yueyue, can we have lunch together?"

Shen Yue frowned slightly, subconsciously showing some reluctance.

But considering that at least he wouldn't have to spend his own money, he nodded.

Shen Yue thought to herself, "Hu Yanghui doesn't have much money either, so he can probably only afford those communal meals."

"At least it's better than having nothing to eat."

Hu Yanghui was incredibly excited when his goddess agreed to have dinner with him!

He couldn't wait to tell everyone in the class that his crush had agreed to have dinner with him.

Under Hu Yanghui's attentive persuasion, the two went to the school cafeteria.

Hu Yanghui looked at the food window, wondering if he had enough money to buy a slightly better meal.

However, he was shocked when he saw the price of the small wok.

The price of 3 yuan is simply too much for a poor guy like him to afford.

Even when serving the stew in a large pot, Hu Yanghui only dared to give Shen Yue one spoonful of meat and two spoonfuls of vegetables.

He himself had only two steamed buns and a bowl of water.

Shen Yue's expression turned somewhat unpleasant as she looked at the simple pot of food.

In the past, when Chen Dong tried to please her, he didn't always eat stir-fried dishes.

The amount of meat that can be pounded is at least two or three spoonfuls!

Shen Yue pouted slightly and said with dissatisfaction, "Is this all you're treating me to?"

Hu Yanghui smiled awkwardly, scratched his head, and said, "Yueyue, I'm sorry, I really don't have much money left."

Shen Yue felt a surge of irritation.

She remembered how Chen Dong used to always try to please her and buy her all sorts of delicious food.

At that time, she enjoyed delicious food and vanity amidst the envious gazes of her classmates.

But now, Chen Dong is ignoring her completely.

Although Hu Yanghui, who was by her side, was a backup option and a simp, his poor financial situation made her feel very uncomfortable.

"Hmph, I knew you were useless." Shen Yue muttered.

Hu Yanghui lowered his head helplessly, not daring to refute.

He knew he didn't have much money, but he really liked Shen Yue and was willing to do anything for her.

However, his financial situation was limited, and he couldn't afford to buy Shen Yue better meals like Chen Dong could.

Meanwhile, Chen Dong, Chu Mengran, and Guo Miao also arrived at the cafeteria.

Chen Dong said to the cafeteria lady with great enthusiasm, "Auntie, give us three large pots of vegetables, and lots of meat."

The aunt smiled and nodded, trying her best not to shake her hand.

A short while later, the three of them each carried a tray.

Two meat dishes and one vegetable dish, plenty of meat and vegetables, with an enticing aroma.

With such a large quantity, even a big pot of food looks quite delicious.

Looking at the sumptuous meal, Chu Mengran said somewhat embarrassedly, "Chen Dong, you're really going to waste too much money. We won't be able to finish all this meat."

Chen Dong said nonchalantly, "It's okay, as long as we all have fun eating together. If you can't finish, there's always this guy over there, right? No problem."

Guo Miao: "......"

Guo Miao found a random spot to sit down and started eating.

While enjoying his meal, Guo Miao muttered, "Brother Dong is so generous. Following Brother Dong means you'll always get to eat meat."

Guo Miao's goofy appearance amused Chen Dong and Chu Mengran.

Their lighthearted laughter attracted the attention of the surrounding classmates.

This also includes Shen Yue.

Shen Yue turned her head and glanced around. Seeing how delicious the food was on Chen Dong and the others' trays, she felt even more annoyed.

Her gaze was fixed on Chen Dong, her heart filled with jealousy and resentment.

"Damn Chen Dong!"

"They used to be so good to me! But now they ignore me completely."

"Please treat that bitch Chu Mengran and that fat cat to such a sumptuous meal!"

"But I can only eat this little bit of meat; most of my meals are vegetables!"

The more Shen Yue thought about it, the angrier she became, and the more upset she felt.

Unable to contain her anger, she snapped at Hu Yanghui, "Look at Chen Dong, and then look at you! This lousy food is all I get to eat!"

Hu Yanghui glanced quickly at Chen Dong's side, then said aggrievedly, "Yueyue, I really can't help it, I'm not as rich as Chen Dong."

"If you don't have money, why don't you go earn it? I think you're just a good-for-nothing."

Shen Yue grew angrier as she spoke, and her voice unconsciously rose a few decibels.

The students around him cast strange glances at him.

Hu Yanghui's face turned bright red, and he lowered his head, not daring to look Shen Yue in the eye.

I'm in a lot of pain.

She skipped breakfast to buy meat buns for Shen Yue, and at noon she only ate two steamed buns to save money to buy meat and vegetables for Shen Yue.

In the end, I still couldn't make the goddess happy.

Hu Yanghui was at a loss for what to do.

As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison.

They ate the food Hu Yanghui had prepared and smelled the aroma of meat from Chen Dong's group's place.

The more I ate, the less I liked the food.

Just thinking about how those meals were originally meant to please him and be eaten by Chen Dong...

And now, all I can eat is this.

Shen Yue felt an even greater sense of disappointment.

Why did Chen Dong become like this?

"Why exactly?"

"Could it be that Chen Dong discovered my relationship with Hao?"

Shen Yue was filled with existential doubt, eating her rice with a tasteless dread.
