[BL]Reborn With An Old Enemy On the Day of Our Marriage

Chapter 34 - Differential Treatment

Lin Qian and Zheng PingQing went to school together as usual. An aggrieved Xu Yao was following behind. Although it had been established that he was still Lin Qian’s best friend, at this very moment, Xu Yao didn’t feel like he had been promoted to this coveted position. On the contrary, he felt like he was a shining, dazzling, light bulb.

“Here, milk.” Zheng PingQing handed Lin Qian a box of milk. Ever since Lin YaZhi had been ordered not to cook, Zheng PingQing became responsible for Lin Qian’s breakfast.

Lin Qian accepted the box and put in the straw. He was about to drink when Zheng PingQing put a hand on top of the milk carton. “Wait, don’t drink on an empty stomach. Eat a muffin first.”

Lin Qian took a muffin from Zheng PingQing. It had delicate workmanship and had an attractive fragrance. Lin Qian wrinkled his nose a bit. “It’s too greasy to eat sweets in the morning.”

Zheng PingQing tried to coax him. “Pad your stomach first. I’ll go to the wonton shop nearby and buy you a bowl of wontons.”

And so Lin Qian took a bite of the muffin. “I want dry wontons.”

Zheng PingQing had long acquired the skills to deal with this situation. “I know, I know. So dry wontons with green onions instead of coriander and a small spoonful of chili oil for the sauce, right? I’ll mix it in with the wontons so they don’t stick together.”

Lin Qian nodded contentedly. “Mm-hm.”

Xu Yao, who was being treated like air: “…”

In fact, Zheng PingQing had been bringing Lin Qian breakfast every day. And if Lin Qian had physical education that day, Zheng PingQing would prepare snacks in addition to the breakfast.

However, Xu Yao, who was ignorant and simple, had always thought it was just a way Zheng PingQing had devised to steal his friend. Like a treacherous concubine, Xu Yao had occasionally reminded Lin Qian not to be bribed by Zheng PingQing’s small favors.

And now that he knew the truth, Xu Yao fervently wishes that he remained the ignorant fool.

At least back then, he could watch this scene idly. But now, he had the constant impulse to poke himself blind.

For the very first time, Xu Yao had understood that sometimes, one can be the happiest when they know nothing.

And he didn’t know if he was imagining things, but Xu Yao felt that ever since he came out of the closet, Zheng PingQing had become more unrestrained. Although he hadn’t been overly excessive, Zheng PingQing still exercised some sort of self-discipline back when Xu Yao didn’t know the truth. But now, Zheng PingQing looks like he wanted to feed Lin Qian by hand right then and there.

Meanwhile, Zheng PingQing was still fussing over Lin Qian. “By the way, what do you want for your soup? The soup they give with the wontons isn’t very nutritious. I’ll buy some stew, chicken or ribs?”

Hearing the constant chatter of food from Zheng PingQing, mixed with the sweet aroma from the muffin, Xu Yao couldn’t help but gulp.

‘growl..’

Zheng PingQing: “….”

Lin Qian, who had been thinking of what soup he should get, also turned towards Xu Yao. “Didn’t you have breakfast already?”

Xu Yao’s situation was different from Lin Qian and Zheng PingQing. His family’s cooking was normal. Xu Yao would usually meet up with Lin Qian after eating breakfast, so the other two would only arrange food for themselves. Over time, they would end up ignoring Xu Yao while they ate their breakfast…
