Shen Ningning felt that the knot in her heart had been untied after this heart-to-heart talk.
âAlright, I believe you!â she promised.
âYes.â Zi Wan smiled and nodded.
The next day, Zi Wan opened the dumplings for breakfast and took out two fresh fruits. This breakfast was obviously much better than her usual breakfast. In the past, her breakfast was always a steamed bun, a few pickles, and a few sips of water.
She knew that her family was not well off. Her parents had given her all the money they had earned, so she had to scrimp and save. She could not compare herself to others.
Shen Ningningâs family background was better than hers. She would often get a portion of porridge and give her half of it.
The other people in the dormitory laughed at Zi Wan for eating leftovers every day.
Although Zi Wan was not happy, she knew that Shen Ningning was not just a leftover meal for her. She was grateful to Shen Ningning and could only repay her with the help of her life and studies.
This time, her breakfast was very good, so she invited Shen Ningning to eat with her.
âNingning, these are the dumplings that sister Yanyan made last night. After we finished eating, she cooked these dumplings for me to eat for breakfast! If itâs not leftovers, are you willing to eat with me?â
âOf course Iâm willing!â Shen Ningning washed her hands and sat down without hesitation. She grabbed a dumpling from the lunchbox and put it into her mouth. Soon, she exclaimed, â Oh my god, thereâs so much meat in these dumplings. Thereâs even shrimpâ¦â There were also vegetables. This was too fragrant! Your sister Yanyanâs cooking is not bad!â
âAs long as you like it.â Zi Wan picked one up with her chopsticks and put it into her mouth. It was the first time she had eaten such delicious dumplings. These were all given to her by Dr. Jin and Sister Yanyan.
âI like it, I like it! Letâs split it in half, okay?â Shen Ningning said.
âYes.â Zi Wan smiled.
âTsk! Wasnât it just a few shrimp dumplings? Look at how inexperienced you are!â Jiang Lai combed her curly hair neatly in front of the mirror, then walked out with the water bottle. â Letâs go to the library! â
âIâll go too.â Lin Chunfen followed him out.
On the way, the two of them discussed the pork and shrimp dumplings.
âSigh, I canât believe youâre telling me that Ziwan has nothing to do with Ms. Jin! They even ate pork and shrimp dumplingsâ¦If this was an ordinary guest, would your family use such good things to entertain them?â
âThatâs right! I took a look just now. That dumpling was really big, and the filling inside was really solidâ¦I donât believe that Zi Wan has nothing to do with Teacher Jin. If she said she knew his girlfriend, did that mean she knew her? I donât think so!â
âYes, a girl from a small mountain village looks very beautiful. Who knew if Ms. Jin had some disagreements behind her back? What if the two of them hooked up? Doctors have high salaries, especially surgeons. Maybe Mr. Smith doesnât like his girlfriend anymore. Itâs not impossible for him to raise a university student behind his back!â
âYes, yes. Isnât it popular to have a little lover now?â
âThatâs right. Otherwise, I wouldnât be able to eat such good dumplings!â
The two of them mocked him in the back and gradually left.
The school was only so big, and there were only a few people in a class. If there were any rumors, they would spread very quickly. Of course, it involved the teachers hired by the school, so the students did not dare to be too arrogant and only discussed it in private.
Han Xiaoxiao was also a person who liked to hear gossip. She heard that there was a person called Zi Wan who was very close to Ms. Jin. She wanted to see what the girl looked like to win Ms. Jinâs favor.
