Chapter 9 I really hate her
Lin Shuyao watched Cheng Zheng's retreating figure, a slight smile playing on her lips. The mist in her eyes gradually dissipated, revealing clear and bright eyes, where was the aggrieved look from just now?
However, when he said he didn't, did he mean he didn't yell at her?
Or do you not dislike her?
Forget it, forget it.
Anyway, the matter is over, and he probably won't hold it against her again.
Lin Shuyao was getting ready to have lunch.
On the way, I encountered large groups of workers leaving work, all hurrying towards the canteen.
They look very anxious, like they're about to go to war.
Lin Shuyao walked slowly behind the crowd.
She dislikes the feeling of being in a crowded place and would rather go later, since the food won't disappear.
As soon as I entered the cafeteria, I smelled the familiar aroma of meat. The blackboard read: Today's menu: pork ribs and potatoes.
Long queues had already formed at the windows.
Lin Shuyao was also about to join the queue when an older chef in front of her started banging his metal ladle against a serving dish, then yelled, "That's all! Don't bother queuing up!"
"Ah! I've been waiting for almost half a month! I've been looking forward to eating braised pork ribs, how come it's gone already!"
"Oh dear, what bad luck! I should have run faster and not peed on the way."
"Never mind, let's come again next month..."
The employees who didn't get a ticket complained with long faces.
Those who managed to catch the food left through the window, happily holding their lunchboxes filled with fragrant pork ribs.
The fragrance wafted all the way.
Lin Shuyao finally understood why everyone had to run to get food. Resources were scarce, and everything was in limited supply. Factory 306 had more than 2 employees, so if you were slow, you wouldn't get any.
Since transmigrating, she hasn't eaten much meat or even oil, and her stomach is practically empty. Today, she was lucky not to smell meat, but now that she does, she can't resist it.
I really, really want to eat it.
But all that was left at the window was corn porridge and pickled vegetables.
Lin Shuyao smacked her lips and could only make do with a bowl of porridge and pickled vegetables.
I found a corner to sit down with my plate and was about to start eating when I suddenly smelled the aroma of pork ribs and potatoes, the kind of Sichuan-style braised pork ribs with fermented bean paste.
Lin Shuyao suddenly found the corn porridge in her bowl less appealing.
My mouth was drooling uncontrollably.
I'm so hungry. I'm really hungry.
She glanced over following the smell and saw Cheng Zheng sitting across the table from her. In front of him was a large plate of braised pork ribs, steaming hot.
Lin Shuyao watched longingly as he picked up a piece of pork rib with his chopsticks, put it in his mouth, and took a bite.
grunt.
Lin Shuyao couldn't help but swallow, her tongue uncontrollably sticking out to lightly lick her right lip.
Cheng Zheng seemed to sense something. As he swallowed his food, he lifted his eyelids and glanced over. He saw Lin Shuyao staring at him with a greedy look, licking her lips. His Adam's apple bobbed, and he lowered his eyes, his lips curving up almost imperceptibly.
Lin Shuyao was surprised when he suddenly looked up. Realizing her reaction, she immediately lowered her head in embarrassment, poking at the porridge in her bowl with her chopsticks.
Help.
That's so beneath me.
How come he always seems to be the one to embarrass me?
Why would someone crave the ribs in another person's bowl?
He's probably laughing at her in his heart right now!
Lin Shuyao was extremely annoyed when someone suddenly patted her on the shoulder.
"Qingqing!"
Gao Tingting sat down next to her, her bowl also containing the same coarse corn porridge as hers.
"You didn't get any ribs either?" Lin Shuyao said, amused.
"Ugh~", Gao Tingting said with regret and anger, "Why do some people have to come right before closing time to complete the procedures? Tsk, annoying."
Lin Shuyao: "Sigh, what's meant to be will be, and what's not meant to be shouldn't be forced. Let's just eat our porridge."
Gao Tingting sniffed the meaty smell in the air, unwilling to accept her fate, when she suddenly saw Cheng Zheng across from her. Hey, isn't that her brother?
The spare ribs at the regular window were sold out, but the ribs at the specialist window were also gone. His brother was a factory leader, and he received special meal vouchers every month that allowed him to get food at the specialist window.
"Qingqing, do you want to eat pork ribs?"
"How can you not want to?" Lin Shuyao looked at Gao Tingting expectantly and nodded.
"Hehe, I'll go find the factory representative to exchange for a special meal voucher, then we can go to the specialist window for ribs." Gao Tingting gestured with her chin towards the opposite side, hinting at her.
Upon hearing that Cheng Zheng was being sought, Lin Shuyao quickly shook her head: "Forget it, he's not a very easy person to talk to, let's not go looking for him."
She could picture his cold, aloof demeanor when he rejected her.
It's not worth putting up with his attitude just for a meal of ribs.
Gao Tingting patted her chest: "It's okay, watch me."
After saying that, he got up and walked over.
Lin Shuyao couldn't stop her, and could only feel worried for her.
Gao Tingting sidled up to Cheng Zheng and said with a fawning smile, "Brother, could I ask you for a meal voucher? Qingqing and I want to eat ribs. Please don't refuse me. I just boasted to Qingqing that you seem aloof but are actually very kind-hearted. You have to give your little sister some face, okay?"
The cafeteria was noisy, and Lin Shuyao couldn't hear what they were saying. She only saw that after Gao Tingting finished speaking, Cheng Zheng glanced at her.
Lin Shuyao quickly lowered her head and pretended to drink porridge.
Cheng Zheng looked away, took out a meal ticket from the pocket of his military uniform, and handed it to Gao Tingting. "Here you go."
"Thank you, factory representative!" Gao Tingting smiled broadly as she accepted the meal tickets. Looking at them, she exclaimed, "Hey, why are there two?"
Has her brother changed his ways and become so generous?
In the past, it was difficult for her to get a new card; she had to beg and plead with him. He would even give her a lecture, saying that she shouldn't be given special treatment.
"Forget about it." Cheng Zheng made a move to take it away.
Gao Tingting quickly stuffed the voucher into her pocket: "Yes, yes, yes! Qingqing and I are both really craving it, so with two vouchers we can each buy one."
Gao Tingting happily went home with the meal voucher in her hand.
They suddenly stopped halfway there.
Not right, not right.
Her brother didn't change his gender, but rather...
Gao Tingting turned around abruptly, glanced at her brother, and then looked straight ahead, fixing her gaze on Lin Shuyao.
Emma!
There's something going on between these two!
Her brother gave her the tickets so readily and generously, and even gave her two at once. It's obvious he wanted to give Qingqing some meat!
I bumped into it! I bumped into it!
Gao Tingting's eyes sparkled with hearts, and she grinned foolishly twice before quickly returning to Lin Shuyao's side.
"Sister-in-law, oh no, Qingqing, come on, let's go eat some meat!"
Lin Shuyao looked up and saw Gao Tingting excitedly waving the two special meal vouchers in her hand at her.
"He agreed?" she asked in surprise.
Gao Tingting raised her chin: "Of course! I already told you, the factory representative might seem a bit unapproachable, but he's actually a really nice person. If you ever run into any difficulties in the future, just go to him, and he'll definitely solve them for you, really!"
Lin Shuyao glanced at Cheng Zheng in disbelief, raising her eyebrows in confusion.
Is this person so easy to talk to?
Why doesn't she believe it?
He must have agreed because of Tingting.
If she went to him alone to exchange them, he definitely wouldn't agree!
A strange pang of sadness rose in Lin Shuyao's heart.
It turns out he's so friendly to others, but treats her like dirt.
I don't know what she did to offend him.
"Qingqing, let's go." Gao Tingting took Lin Shuyao's arm.
Lin Shuyao suppressed her emotions, her face regained its smile, and she happily went to the window.
Who cares, as long as there are ribs to eat in the end.
When Cheng Zheng finished his meal and got up, he saw Lin Shuyao staring at the ribs in her bowl with bright eyes. She then picked up a piece and put it in her mouth, taking small bites. Her cheeks puffed up like a little hamster.
As she chewed, her eyes were half-closed, the corners of her eyes curving like crescent moons, and she had a satisfied expression on her face.
He's so happy just from eating some ribs.
Oh.
The corner of his right lip unconsciously curved into a slight smile, but when he noticed her looking up at him, he indifferently looked away.
What Lin Shuyao saw was the man's indifferent profile.
See? See? He really doesn't like her.
That's how I act, like an iceberg, when I'm with her.
Lin Shuyao chewed harder, as if the ribs in her mouth were Cheng Zheng himself, chewing them fiercely.
After finishing the meal, Lin Shuyao counted out a few of her regular meal vouchers and gave them to Gao Tingting. She didn't know how Gao Tingting had exchanged them with Cheng Zheng, but she didn't want to eat for free.
To everyone's surprise, Gao Tingting refused to accept it: "Oh dear, the factory representative said he gave us the meal vouchers. He gives out a lot of special meal vouchers every month! I'm going to work now, Qingqing. You go back to the dormitory and rest."
Fearing that she would insist on giving it to her, Gao Tingting slipped away.
Lin Shuyao still felt a little guilty. She was indebted to him, especially since he didn't like her. It was a bit spineless of her to accept his hospitality. How could she stand up straight in front of him in the future?
After much deliberation, Lin Shuyao decided to go find Cheng Zheng.
Whether he accepts it or not is his business, but he needs to know her attitude.
