Chapter 54: Mid-Autumn Festival Mini Extra

Today was the Mid-Autumn Festival but the third year middle schoolers didn't have the day off.

Qiao Yichen sat in the cla.s.sroom waiting for the last cla.s.s to hurry up and end. Even though today wasn't a school holiday, school was going to end early because there were only two cla.s.ses scheduled for the afternoon.

The last period was the homeroom teacher's mathematics cla.s.s. After teaching for half the period, she asked the cla.s.s president and academic chair to go to her office and bring back the mooncakes that she had bought earlier that day.

These mooncakes had been purchased with everyone's cla.s.s fees so there was one for each person.

As the academic chair, Ding Meng happily followed the cla.s.s president out when she heard that it was time to bring over the mooncakes.

The cla.s.s president rubbed her eyes when she saw how happy Ding Meng was, "Does one little mooncake really make you that happy?"

"Of course!" Ding Meng's eyes sparkled. "Teacher Zhao said that she tried a hundred mooncakes before choosing the best one!"

Cla.s.s president, "…"

Only you would believe that.

The mooncakes were arranged tidily on top of Teacher Zhao's desk. While the cla.s.s president walked over and picked up a box, Ding Meng simply stood next to the mooncakes and stared at them for a long time without moving.

The cla.s.s president couldn't help but ask, "What are you looking at?"

Ding Meng responded, "I'm checking to see which ones are bigger so that I can save two."

After a moment of speechlessness, the cla.s.s president reminded her, "Each person only gets one."

"One's for Qiao Yichen."

Cla.s.s president, "…"

I didn't realize that you two were on such good terms.

Truthfully, it wasn't like that at all.

Qiao Yichen probably wouldn't be able to eat much of his own mooncake since Ding Meng was going to steal a portion of his.

When Ding Meng and the cla.s.s president returned to the cla.s.sroom and began pa.s.sing out the mooncakes, she walked up to Qiao Yichen and whispered, "These two are the biggest mooncakes. I checked them carefully."

Qiao Yichen, "…"

The dismissal bell was going to ring shortly after the mooncakes were distributed so Teacher Zhao stopped teaching and let everyone eat mooncakes.

The mooncakes were filled with spicy beef. After quickly finishing her own, Ding Meng stared pointedly at Qiao Yichen.

Qiao Yichen "…"

He was used to feeding this desk-mate of his so he picked up his untouched mooncake and broke it into two pieces.

The pieces he broke off weren't actually even. One half was bigger and the other was smaller. He responsibly handed Ding Meng the bigger half, which she received with delight. QIao Yichen couldn't help but poke fun at her, "Aren't you scared that eating this much will make you fatter?"

Ding Meng gracefully rolled her eyes at him, "It's just half a mooncake. How much fatter could it make me?"

…No, before the mooncake you already ate a bag of potato chips, half a bag of ladyfingers, and half a bag of crispy noodles.

Qiao Yichen turned his head away and silently nibbled on his remaining piece of mooncake. Mmm, the beef was prepared very well and the crust was extremely flaky. It tasted pretty good.

He couldn't help but sigh, "Ay, I don't think I'd even treat my future wife this nicely."

Ding Meng was too busy eating happily to hear him clearly. She joked casually, "Wife? Your grades are so awful. You won't be able to find a wife."

Qiao Yichen, "…"

Return his future wife's piece of mooncake!

It wasn't until many years later that Qiao Yichen realized that he had already given that piece of mooncake to his future wife.
