The Goddess is a Little Pitiful, I Invested in Her! - Chapter 34

Chapter 34: Even Lian Qingxue’s Big Meat Bun!

On Monday, when Qi Yun walked into the classroom with the cold wind, Lian Qingxue was already seated at her desk.

“Good morning!”

Lian Qingxue’s tone was exceptionally cheerful today, her eyes gleaming like crescents when she smiled.

“Good morning~”

Seeing Lian Qingxue’s smiling face, Qi Yun’s mood also brightened.

Just as Qi Yun sat down, Lian Qingxue extended her right arm: “Here~”

“Huh?”

Qi Yun looked and saw that Lian Qingxue’s hand was hidden in her sleeve, and he couldn’t tell what was inside.

He reached out and felt it.

Soft, bouncy, and a bit warm.

Pulling it out, he found a fluffy white meat bun.

“Is it for me?”

“Yes, breakfast!”

Qi Yun stared at the big meat bun in his hand for a long time. Did she keep it in her sleeve to keep it warm?

“Did you eat breakfast?”

“I did!”

Grumble…

An untimely grumble from her stomach betrayed Lian Qingxue’s lie.

“…”

Qi Yun looked at Lian Qingxue who had her head bowed, he couldn’t help but feel a bit helpless, “Are you silly? Before, you ate steamed buns for three meals a day. Today you bought me a meat bun, and you couldn’t even afford to buy a steamed bun for yourself, right?”

Lian Qingxue hung her head even lower, “I just thought… You buy me food every day, I can also buy you breakfast…”

“But can you skip eating yourself?”

“I did eat! Really! I ate a steamed bun this morning!”

Qi Yun sighed and tore open the meat bun in his hand, “Open your mouth!”

Lian Qingxue was confused but obediently opened her small mouth, tilting her head back like a little bird.

“Uh!”

Qi Yun stuffed the meat filling into Lian Qingxue’s mouth.

Lian Qingxue’s eyes widened.

“Eat it, do you want to give it back to me?” Qi Yun teased, “You can give it back to me, but you have to do it with your mouth!”

Lian Qingxue’s face turned beet red. She didn’t dare to speak anymore and obediently ate the meat.

She unconsciously narrowed her eyes, if she had a tail behind her, it would surely be wagging.

Seeing this, Qi Yun couldn’t help but feel moved. She was so happy over a piece of meat filling. She was really easy to please.

However, based on his observations these days, Qi Yun discovered a secret about Lian Qingxue.

She loved meat!

A true carnivore!

Perhaps due to her time in the orphanage, Lian Qingxue didn’t make it obvious.

After all, the orphanage didn’t have much money.

Lian Qingxue not only couldn’t show her love for meat, but she would often give her share of meat to the smaller children.

But the expressions on Lian Qingxue’s face when she was eating meat and when she was eating other things were different.

When she ate other things, there was more cherishing in her expression, cherishing the food.

But when she ate meat, it was uncontrollable happiness.

Such expressions would only be displayed in front of Qi Yun.

…

“By the way, where did you get the money to buy the meat bun?” Qi Yun asked curiously.

“I saved it!” Lian Qingxue spilled her little secret without any defense, “I’ve been saving for a long time.”

“How did you save money?” Qi Yun asked curiously.

“By saving up! The subsidies from the orphanage and the money from selling little biscuits before, I saved them all.”

Qi Yun understood. Lian Qingxue’s life before had been too hard. Now it seems that she saved all her money herself.

“What do you save money for?”

“There are so many things!” Lian Qingxue started counting on her fingers, “Money for college, money for Xiaoyu to learn to paint…”

“Wait, have you already saved up for college?” Qi Yun was shocked.

“No!” Lian Qingxue’s face turned red, “I’ve only saved up for two years of tuition.”

That was already very impressive.

Qi Yun remembered that his own college tuition was about ten thousand a year.

That made twenty thousand for two years.

Lian Qingxue had to save up twenty thousand. Who knows how long she took and how she saved it up.

“You spent all the money you’ve been saving up on buying me a meat bun?”

Qi Yun couldn’t help but pat Lian Qingxue’s little head.

“It’s only two yuan for a meat bun, it’s not much! I can still save!” Lian Qingxue’s eyes shone.

Of course, two yuan wasn’t much.

But when Qi Yun thought about what Lian Qingxue used to eat,

He understood to what extent Lian Qingxue would go to save money.

Then he looked at the meat bun in his hand, which had no meat filling left.

Qi Yun ate it very seriously.

“Actually, the bun of the meat bun is also delicious.”

He said to Lian Qingxue.

…

The pace of study in the senior year of high school had basically no new courses.

Most classes consisted of doing problems, discussing them, doing more problems.

Then tests.

Round after round, it was very intense.

Math class.

Mr. Xu sat on the podium.

And the students below the podium were all buried in their books.

Lian Qingxue and Qi Yun were also working on the reference books in front of them.

As Qi Yun was turning a page, he noticed Lian Qingxue’s hand trembling slightly.
