"Huh, there were bite marks from Chuyun on it. Since it fell on the table, it shouldn’t be eaten and should be thrown away. Han Youwei thought this, but for some reason, the sweet and sour pork suddenly seemed incredibly tempting.

Lost in thought while staring at the pork, Han Youwei moved as if controlled. Uncontrollably, she picked it up with her chopsticks and slowly brought it to her rosy lips. Then, like a starving tiger, she opened her mouth, bit the chopsticks, and slowly pulled them out.

As the chopsticks withdrew, thin, transparent strands of saliva trailed from her mouth. Once free, the pork had vanished.

Han Youwei chewed slowly until no flavor remained, then swallowed. Her eyes slightly dazed, she stuck out her pink tongue and licked her cherry lips, savoring the taste.

After several minutes, she snapped out of her daze. Instantly, she realized she’d done something incredibly shameful. Her face flushed bright red, and steam seemed to rise from her cute little head like a boiling kettle.

‘H-how could I do something so shameless? E-eating meat Chuyun bit? T-that’s so disgraceful!’ Overwhelmed with shyness, Han Youwei covered her face with both hands. She couldn’t understand why she’d done it.

Just as she wanted to bang her head against a wall to die, she remembered her mother’s words: don’t waste food. ‘I was just saving it,’ she thought, like a drowning person grabbing a lifeline. Slowly, she convinced herself.

‘Han Youwei, why are you covering your face?’ Chuyun asked curiously, having placed their trays down.

‘N-nothing,’ she stammered nervously when she saw him return.

‘Good. I wasn’t sure how much you could eat. If you can’t finish, just throw it away.’ Chuyun sat down.

‘Mm-hmm.’ Han Youwei ate small bites, but her mind raced with what happened. Why did I do that? How shameless! Thankfully, Chuyun hadn’t seen.

Chuyun was puzzled. Why was she blushing again? Was she embarrassed by her good appetite?

A while later…

Chuyun looked at Han Youwei slumped in her chair, stuffed. He couldn’t help but smile. ‘Han Youwei, I didn’t lie, right? Our school’s cafeteria food is delicious.’

‘Hehe, it really is! I’ve never tasted such good food. It made me so full!’ *Burp*

Slumped in her chair, Han Youwei gently rubbed her full little belly with fair hands. She even let out an adorable little burp.

‘Of course! Our cafeteria is famous in Mingzhu City for its variety—cheap and delicious. Just the eight major cuisines alone can keep you eating without repetition for ages. Tomorrow, I’ll take you to try others.’

‘Stop it! Don’t talk about that now. Chuyun, you’re so mean! Can’t you see I’m stuffed? Why tempt me?’ Han Youwei pouted and shot him a coquettish glare.

Just as Chuyun was about to reply, he felt a sharp pain in his ear. An extremely familiar, gentle voice sounded behind him.

‘Xiao Yun~, so you stood up your sister just to flirt with a cute girl? You’re really good to me.’ Lin Waner smiled gently at him.

But her gentle voice clashed with the small hand pinching his ear.

‘Ow ow ow… I’m sorry, Waner-jie. I was busy today—I forgot by accident.’ Chuyun pleaded repeatedly. He felt wronged. He hadn’t forgotten on purpose. Between the system and Han Youwei tormenting him, he’d unintentionally pushed Lin Waner aside.

‘Hmm? So your business is chatting with cute girls? Today, little Yun is getting naughtier.’ Lin Waner smiled charmingly, but her grip tightened.

‘Ow ow… My ear’s breaking! Waner-jie, have mercy! Let go first…’

Han Youwei couldn’t bear to see Chuyun suffer. But that senior looked fierce. If I anger her, will she pinch my ear too? It seemed painful. Still, her urge to help won out. She gathered her courage. ‘S-senior, please don’t blame Chuyun. It’s my fault. I’m clumsy, so he’s been taking care of me.’

Lin Waner glanced at Han Youwei in surprise, then snorted at Chuyun. ‘For this cute junior’s sake, I’ll let you off.’ She released his ear and sat beside Han Youwei. ‘Wow, junior, you’re so adorable! How did you meet this idiot Chuyun?’

Han Youwei pressed her rosy lips together. Her long eyelashes fluttered over crescent-moon eyes, bright but panicked. ‘H-hello, senior. I-I met him this morning when he helped me.’

‘Oh? Chuyun’s really lucky. He helped and got a girl as cute as you.’

‘N-no, senior is beautiful too.’

‘Has this Chuyun bullied you? Tell me. He’s a perverted lolicon who adores petite girls like you.’

Blushing, Han Youwei stammered, ‘N-no, he’s been very kind.’ *Holding hands isn’t bullying, right? But what did she mean—does Chuyun like me? So embarrassing! Yet her heart felt sweet, like honey.*

Chuyun, who’d been zoned out, finally snapped back. Seeing Lin Waner blatantly lie and slander him, he couldn’t hold back. ‘Hey hey, Waner-jie, don’t slander me! When did I become a perverted lolicon?’"
