Chapter 363: Chapter 363: A Secret

Xia Chuyi’s expression didn’t change, and she chuckled, “Then let’s register names… um, twenty yuan, two portions for each classmate, and there will still be leftovers.”

“But Chi is wealthy, so he probably won’t care about such a small amount of money. So, Shuqin, let me register you guys a few more times!”

After speaking, she didn’t wait for everyone’s reaction and swiftly wrote down numbers in a notebook.

buddy: Why do I feel like Xia Chuyi is taking advantage of Chi Yue?

Other students: So there are benefits to being on good terms with Xia Chuyi?

Chi Yue… Miss Chi Yue didn’t react at all, immersed in Xia Chuyi’s vulgar fantasies.

“Everything’s registered then?” Chi Yue looked at Xia Chuyi’s sign and said, “I’ll head back first. I’m afraid to eat unclean food and get a stomachache.”

Classmates: …

You’re worried about a stomachache and you still treat us?

After Chi Yue left, the classmates looked at each other, and finally, Jiang Shuqin, leading the 201 buddies, entered the shop first and said to Xia Chuyi, “Chuyi, serve us the food! Anyway, it’s like robbing the rich to feed the poor, can’t miss out on a free meal!”

Xia Chuyi was composed from start to finish, and if they behaved any more pretentiously, that would really be awkward.

Seeing her demeanor, others also entered the shop.

Well, it was just that there were too many people, rushing in all at once, filling up the place.

What followed was a period of bustling activity.

Jiang Shuqin and the others were the first to get the braised pork rice. Initially, they only wanted to support Xia Chuyi. But after that first bite, their eyes widened in surprise.

“How can this be so delicious?” Jiang Shuqin was genuinely shocked.

The 201 buddies all nodded in agreement, almost sparkling with enthusiasm.

Then they dug in with gusto.

Hearing their comments and drawn by the aroma, the other students also started to salivate. When the braised pork rice was served, and they took a bite, an immediate sense of happiness overwhelmed them.

The rich flavor of the meat mixed with the tender sticky rice… and most importantly, it was all free.

Many students felt that they might never have such delicious food again in their entire lives.

A universal truth–an appetite for food.

There’s nothing that a good meal can’t solve.

After the meal, for no apparent reason, the classmates’ impression of Xia Chuyi soared.

When leaving, they all said goodbye to her with satisfied and joyful expressions.

Xia Chuyi smiled in response.

Chi Yue could probably never have imagined that her money actually helped boost Xia Chuyi’s popularity.

The 201 buddies were the last to leave; they were satisfied with their meal but, unlike the others, didn’t forget about Xia Chuyi’s situation.

“Chuyi, I’m proud of you for being self-sufficient!” Jiang Shuqin led the way, “But if you ever have any difficulties, you can come to me. I may not be as rich as Chi Yue, but I can still lend a helping hand to a friend.”

Others chimed in: “Yeah, we can help you too.”

Xia Chuyi suddenly laughed.

“Ahem,” she purposely lowered her voice and said to them, “Actually… I’ll tell you a secret, I own this restaurant.”

“What?” Everyone was taken aback.

At that moment, Qian Qianqian’s eyes lit up, and she exclaimed, “Chuyi, that classmate of yours is so easy to fleece!”

“Oh, you don’t know how hard it was for me to hold back when she was talking about you!”

“She has no idea, she thinks she’s shaming you, but in reality, she’s literally handing you money.” Qian Qianqian laughed until she was nearly bent double, “Oh my, I can’t handle it, how can someone be so foolish!”
