"Why did we come so late? I'm so hungry I could start screaming... and now there's no dinner at the cafeteria,"
In the cafeteria stairs, Lin Xianyu complained to Gu Yueyan, who apologetically responded, "Well, there's still the third-floor late-night snack, at worst I'll treat this meal."
Lin Xianyu blinked, "Okay okay, but why didn't you go eat at Teacher Dong's today? Instead, you spent the whole day with me cultivating."
"..."
Gu Yueyan purposefully didn't reply, but Lin Xianyu had no intention of letting her off. She was at that gossipy youthful age — though perhaps it had nothing to do with age — and grabbed Gu Yueyan's right hand, giggling, "Does it have anything to do with you not being in the dorm yesterday?"
"It's unrelated!" Gu Yueyan replied promptly. "Keep talking, and I won't treat."
