Interrupted by their taunting, Lin Anning had no choice but to pull Xie Minmin out of the cafeteria.
Once outside, she let go of her hand and offered an apologetic smile.
"Sorry, whenever you're with me, it seems like we always manage to attract them."
Xie Minmin shook her head quickly. Before Lin Anning arrived, she had been bullied by them even worse!
Since her arrival, they had only hurled nasty words, not actually laid a hand on her, which was already an improvement.
"Where do you usually eat? Take me with you."
Xie Minmin pursed her lips and pointed upstairs.
Following her, Lin Anning huffed and puffed as she climbed to the rooftop. It was quiet here since no one usually came.
The two sat on the rooftop, and Lin Anning shared half of the meat and vegetables from her lunchbox with Xie Minmin.
"Eat it all up, or next time I won't eat the eggs you bring."
Upon hearing this, Xie Minmin obediently began eating her meal.
