Kapitel 130: Pork Trotters

Shen Xi looked at Guan Lei, who sat down without saying a word, and asked, "Didn't you go home for the weekend?"

Guan Lei was embarrassed by Shen Xi's question. He couldn't say he had not gone home because he was looking for her, could he?

Guan Lei coughed into his hand, choosing not to answer. He nudged the plate of pork trotters he had ordered toward Shen Xi and said, "I ordered too many, but I can't return it. Would you help me eat them?"

Shen Xi eyed the plate of oily pork trotters with a frown. In the unrelenting summer heat, any normal person would feel sick to the stomach looking at the heaty meat.

Awkwardly, Shen Xi began, "That's no good. Isn't it a little too much? Why don't you share it with the other students?"

Guan Lei thought Shen Xi was embarrassed and did not want to hurt her self-esteem, so he softened his tone. "It's the weekend; everyone's gone home. Look around; no one's here. You're the only one left. You'll help me, won't you?"
