Jian Ai would not stand on ceremony. If it was, he would not have had Lin Yi treat him to lunch for a month.
Without a second thought, Jian Ai said to the shopkeeper's aunt, "Auntie, give me a serving of beef with baked potatoes, boiled meatballs, french fries, and fried eggs with tomato sauce."
Beef with baked potatoes and boiled meatballs is the most expensive meat dish in the cafeteria. Fist-sized meatballs were sold for three to five yuan each. Jian Ai had never wanted to eat it before. Even after a few years had passed, he was still very curious about the taste of meatballs in high school.
Now that someone had paid his bill, Jian Ai naturally wanted to make up for the regrets from his previous life and taste this stewed meatball.
Lin Yi did not say anything and paid her bills generously.
Jian Ai took her plate and left. It was obvious that he had no intention of having lunch with Lin Yi.
“Xiao Ai, this way!”
Guan Tao had already sat down and waved towards Jian Ai from afar.
When Guan Tao saw the meatballs on Jian Ai's plate, he could not help but widen his eyes in shock. “Wow, Xiao Ai. You finally want to buy this!”
A smile appeared on Jian Ai's face. He used his chopsticks to split the meatball in half and put half of it on Guan Tao's plate. “I can't eat that big alone. Let's split rata.”
Guan Tao looked at the half meatballs on his plate and then towards the indifferent Jian Ai. He could not help but say in surprise, "Xiao Ai, what's wrong? Usually you can save two to three hundred yuan a month, but you can't even afford meatballs!"
He's nodding. "I didn't buy it. Lin Yi paid for it."
"Aah?" Guan Tao's mouth was wide open. Then, fearing that people would notice it, he immediately lowered his voice and leaned forward to look towards Jian Ai. "really? Are you two really..."
"That's fake!" Jian Ai denied Guan Tao's words and ate a piece of beef. Then, he went on to explain, "It's about love letters. Lin Yi went to apologize to me in the morning, so I asked her to treat me to lunch for a month. He said, eat whatever you want. He'll treat me." "What else do you want to eat tomorrow? I'll help you order it."
"Dam. No way, Xiao Ai. You are too brave. You let Lin Yi treat you to lunch for a month. If his admirers find out about this, they'll skin you alive." Although Guan Tao was exaggerating his tone, his words were filled with worry towards Jian Ai. After all, the incident of Jian Ai drowning in the pond was also because of Lin Yi.
However, Jian Ai did not react to Guan Tao's worries. Instead, he smiled and said indifferently, "I once drowned in a pond three meters deep before. Why should I be afraid of them? If they want to find trouble, go ahead. I am poor anyway. He who is down needs to be afraid, not to fall."
In his three years of high school in his previous life, he did not compete with others and was cautious in every way. But he did not get respect. Instead, he was looked down upon by others, and they considered his pride to be nothing.
Now that he was reborn, would he repeat his previous life?
Impossible! In this life, Jian Ai would never be a coward in the eyes of others. If anyone dares to oppress him and his loved ones, he will return the favor tenfold.
“Then, I want to eat pork ribs,” Guan Tao said with a smile.
Jian Ai raised her eyebrows and nodded. "No problem. With such a big free meal ticket, it's a pity not to use it."
