Tang Weiwei immediately pressed Xu Xiuwen's hand under the table.
She breathed a sigh of relief after the boy walked away.
Seeing Tang Weiwei's nervous look, Xu Xiuwen couldn't help but laugh.
He shook the bun in his hand and said, "If you finish eating the bun quickly, there won't be any problem."
Tang Weiwei looked at Xu Xiuwen, then at the bun in his hand. Her nose flared twice, and then, like a little aggrieved kitten, she pinched a bun out of the plastic bag.
Tang Weiwei, looking like a thief, nervously surveyed her surroundings, then bent down, lowered her head, and took a bite of the bun.
She took a big bite, filling her mouth with bun skin and meat filling.
She couldn't swallow it immediately, and her cheeks were puffed up, looking like a little hamster that had stolen food.
In Xu Xiuwen's eyes, she looked very cute.
Tang Weiwei didn't know what Xu Xiuwen was thinking. She was very nervous, afraid that someone would see her eating.
Her beautiful eyes kept scanning around, and her ears were perked up.
If there was any slight movement, she would immediately sit up straight and stop chewing.
Other students at different tables didn't notice Xu Xiuwen and Tang Weiwei's actions, but the three girls at their table saw everything.
The three girls were a bit speechless.
Xu Xiuwen really had a thick skin!
Was he pretending they didn't exist?
Su Yanyan and Shen Minyao were okay with it.
Bai Yue'er was both envious and angry.
The key point was that watching Tang Weiwei eat made Bai Yue'er, who had already had breakfast, secretly swallow her saliva.
She felt hungry again.
Bai Yue'er hesitated for a moment, then leaned over and whispered accusingly, "Xu Xiuwen, you're neglecting your friends for a girl."
Xu Xiuwen glanced at her and asked, "What do you mean?"
Bai Yue'er stared at the last bun in his plastic bag and said, "Why are you only concerned if Weiwei has had breakfast? Why don't you care about us?"
"Go away, my relationship with Weiwei is different from my relationship with you."
Bai Yue'er rolled her eyes and asked coquettishly, "What relationship do you have with Weiwei?"
Xu Xiuwen originally wanted to say "boyfriend and girlfriend," but thought of Cheng Lu and changed his words, "Weiwei and I are good friends."
Bai Yue'er gave a sly smile and said, "That's right. You're good friends with Weiwei, and we're friends too. Isn't it unfair to treat us differently?"
Xu Xiuwen was caught in her logic.
Seeing Bai Yue'er eyeing the bun in his hand, he felt a headache coming on.
He had specifically bought the bun for Tang Weiwei, so why was Bai Yue'er butting in?
Both Xu Xiuwen and Bai Yue'er spoke loud enough for Tang Weiwei to hear.
She quickly swallowed the food in her mouth and said to Xu Xiuwen, "Xu Xiuwen, one bun is enough for me. If sister Yue'er wants it, just give it to her."
Hearing Tang Weiwei say this, Bai Yue'er smiled triumphantly and reached out to take the bun from Xu Xiuwen.
Xu Xiuwen pulled his hand back.
Bai Yue'er was immediately anxious, "Xu Xiuwen, why are you so stingy?"
Xu Xiuwen ignored her and turned to Tang Weiwei, "Is one bun really enough?"
Tang Weiwei nodded, "Xu Xiuwen, I'm not hungry. Just give it to sister Yue'er."
Xu Xiuwen glared at Bai Yue'er before handing over the bun.
Bai Yue'er wasn't angry despite being glared at.
She smiled cheekily, took a bite of the bun, and unlike Tang Weiwei, she ate openly, only hiding her hand holding the bun under the table while chewing.
Bai Yue'er even thanked Xu Xiuwen while eating, "Thanks for the bun. It tastes good."
Xu Xiuwen retorted, "Don't talk while eating."
Bai Yue'er rolled her eyes at him.
Once Tang Weiwei finished eating, Xu Xiuwen began studying with her.
Since they had decided to study seriously, Xu Xiuwen temporarily put aside other thoughts.
Tang Weiwei had a talent for teaching. She picked out all the key points from the books, sorted and organized them, and explained them to Xu Xiuwen.
Xu Xiuwen had a good memory and learned quickly.
They studied together until noon, then went to the cafeteria for lunch.
After lunch, Xu Xiuwen took Tang Weiwei straight to the train station.
Bai Yue'er wanted to follow, but Xu Xiuwen refused outright.
At the train station, there weren't many people in line at the ticket window at noon, and it took only ten minutes for their turn.
Xu Xiuwen told the ticket seller, "I'd like two tickets to Chengdu, one to Luoyang, one to Dalian, and two to Lanzhou, all for the 20th."
Xu Xiuwen had discussed with Yang Baishan the night before in the dormitory, and the latter agreed to accompany Tang Weiwei to Chengdu and promised to personally send her to the bus to Chongqing once they arrived.
After coordinating with Yang Baishan, Xu Xiuwen called Room 601 to help buy tickets for others as well.
Seeing they looked young and like students, the ticket seller asked, "Buying tickets for your classmates?"
Xu Xiuwen nodded.
The ticket seller checked and said, "The tickets for the 20th are sold out. Only tickets for the days after the 20th are available."
"Then we'll take tickets for the 21st."
After some communication, they finally got all the tickets.
The tickets for Shen Minyao, Bai Yue'er, and Shi Xiangming were for an air-conditioned express train, departing on the morning of the 21st.
Yang Baishan and Tang Weiwei's tickets to Chengdu were for train K6xx, departing at 8:08 am and arriving in Chengdu at 6 am the next day. They would then take train K1xx, departing at 8:52 am and arriving in Chongqing at 5:40 pm.
The two tickets together cost 289 yuan, only 59 yuan less than a long-distance bus ticket.
This amount of money was nothing to Xu Xiuwen.
He didn't want Tang Weiwei to transfer trains, which was troublesome and exhausting, and not reassuring.
But Tang Weiwei insisted on not wasting money and didn't want to spend more.
Xu Xiuwen had to give in.
Su Yanyan's ticket was the hardest to get. The tickets to Luoyang on the 21st were sold out, so they had to buy one for the 22nd.
After buying the tickets, Tang Weiwei wanted to go back to school to study immediately.
Xu Xiuwen didn't agree and dragged her around the city.
At 5 o'clock, Xu Xiuwen and the blushing Tang Weiwei returned to school.
After dropping Tang Weiwei off at her part-time job, Xu Xiuwen went back to the dormitory, put on the scarf Cheng Lu had knitted, and then rushed to Jiaotong University.
Despite running around consuming energy, Xu Xiuwen enjoyed it.
Being able to see Cheng Lu and spend time with her, even without speaking, was wonderful.
