The Sickly Villain Only Wants to Survive

30

Zhu Tong's straightforwardness left both of them momentarily stunned.

Shao Ming immediately kicked Luo Su lightly under the desk. "Is it wrong that I'm tired of eating out?"

Luo Su was silent, already reflecting on his choices.

He had regretted suggesting it as soon as he realized that Zhu Tong never went to the cafeteria. He had clarified the misunderstanding about Zhu Tong in the classroom after they left, and it was he who had cleaned the desk afterward.

Having seen that Zhu Tong had already made significant progress on his task, Luo Su had come to understand the extent of Zhu Tong's cleanliness obsession.

Forcing him to eat in a crowded cafeteria? That would require a thorough cleaning of the place first.

Just as he was about to abandon the idea, Zhu Tong said, "Didn't you say it's a new cafeteria?"

"..."

Zhu Tong looked at Shao Ming. "You haven't eaten there either."

So where did the idea of being tired of it come from?

Besides, the new cafeteria... it should be relatively clean, right?

Shao Ming was at a loss for words.

"You might not know much about our school's dining options," he said, reluctantly explaining to the "young master who doesn't know about food," "Even if it's a new cafeteria, you shouldn't expect too much from it..."

"I've never eaten in the cafeteria," Zhu Tong replied.

"..."

Shao Ming paused before asking, "Do you really want to go?"

Zhu Tong nodded, "Yeah."

He could tell that Shao Ming was looking out for him. Since he never went to the cafeteria, Shao Ming usually took him out to eat.

Luo Su had also been joining them for meals outside.

Despite Zhu Tong's tendency to feel out of place and his general self-sufficiency, he couldn't help but feel a burden from being cared for for so long.

After all, it was just a meal in the cafeteria; he figured he could overcome that.

Moreover, since he had transferred here, he knew he needed to make some changes.

The word "dramatic" that he had overheard on the stairs still lingered in his mind, especially since Shao Ming had been present at the time.

Shao Ming studied him for a moment before smiling and saying, "Alright, we'll go to the cafeteria this afternoon."

Luo Su was dumbfounded. "Didn't you just say you were tired of it?"

Ming-ge, what happened to your principles?

But Luo Su's objective was achieved, so his trip wasn't in vain. He stood up and said, "Alright, it's settled then. I'll go save us seats this afternoon, and you can join me later."

Zhu Tong thanked him.

After a long two-period cleaning session, the final class of the afternoon was English.

The cleaning had been so thorough that when the English teacher arrived, she almost thought she had walked into the wrong classroom.

Standing at the door, she glanced at the class sign above the doorway, then looked at the familiar students inside before walking to the podium with a look of amazement.

"When did your class get a new blackboard?"

"Hahahaha!"

The students, who had been waiting for her reaction, burst into laughter.
