But even so, the two only had little appetites. They, two people accustomed to luxury and fineness, initially found the meals quite novel for the first few days, feeling there was nothing wrong with them. But as time went on, they really couldn't stomach it anymore.
However, if they didn't eat, they starved. Just as they were about to force down the food in front of them despite the nauseating feeling, Bai Xue arrived.
Dressed in Chanel's latest summer outfit and seven-inch heels, she emanated an aura of nobility and elegance that clashed with the squalid shack they were living in.
When Bai Wanrou looked at the shining, radiant person before her, then looked down at her own low-priced T-shirt and jeans bought for a few dozen yuan at a night market due to an inability to return home, her feelings of inferiority grew even stronger.
Bai Xue quickly assessed their cramped living quarters. Her brows furrowed slightly in displeasure; the conditions were even worse than she had anticipated.
"What are you doing here?" Su Yan stood up.
An innate sense of nobility cannot be concealed by anything. Even though he was covered in dirt, wearing only a vest and underwear worth a few yuan, Su Yan's imposing presence remained undiminished, still dangerously potent.
"Can't I check out your pitiful living conditions?" Bai Xue raised her eyebrows.
"Now that you have, why don't you leave!" Su Yan snapped. He knew she wouldn't pass up such a golden opportunity to kick him while he's down.
Bai Xue's gaze fell on the bowl on the table. "Is this all you are eating?"
The labor he'd undertaken was taxing. Could this simple food satisfy his hunger?
He seemed to have lost a considerable amount of weight.
"Yes! These charity meals are delicious!" Su Yan's most despised food became his favorite.
"Really?" Bai Xue walked forward and pretended to accidentally spill a pot of boiled noodles, "Oh, sorry about that!"
"Bai Xue!" Seeing her feigning innocence, Su Yan was incensed.
"What's with the attitude! At most, I'll compensate you with a meal!" Bai Xue responded haughtily.
"Is your vulgar food a match for this charity meal?" Su Yan infuriated by her audacity.
"Then what do you want?" Bai Xue asked assertively.
Su Yan forced himself to breathe deeply; he can't lose his principle of not hitting women.
Although they were arguing, Bai Wanrou didn't like the feeling and quickly tried to mediate, "Yan, don't be angry. Sister Xue didn't do it intentionally. If the food spilled, I can cook again."
"No need!" Bai Xue and Su Yan said in unison.
Bai Wanrou looked at them, not knowing what to do.
"I don't like owing others. I'll compensate you for the meal!" After finishing her words, Bai Xue left the place arrogantly.
"No need!" Su Yan stated arrogantly. Even if he were starving, he would not accept her charity!
Watching his angry reaction, Bai Wanrou felt a twinge of discomfort. She wondered if Yan had noticed how much he changed when facing Bai Xue. The normally calm and proud him behaved like a child and got infuriated very quickly.
Shortly after Bai Xue left, someone brought food over. It was from a five-star hotel and included Su Yan's favorite dishes.
The tempting aroma was irresistible.
They had been away from home for almost a month; the number of times they'd eaten meat could be counted on one hand.
Faced with such mouth-watering food...
Su Yan didn't hesitate to dump it all in the trash. As the ancients say, don't eat the food of pity!
Bai Wanrou felt a pang of regret.
Her stomach rumbled in response.
Su Yan checked his pocket— the wages he had received a few days back amounted to around a hundred yuan. He grabbed Bai Wanrou's arm, "Let's go, let's have a feast!"
Bai Wanrou was taken aback.
