Lin Xue suddenly pulled out a huge pile of flashy snacks from her Personal Space, instantly leaving Gerrick and Shuizhu stunned. After Miss moved them around a few times, the colorful packages covered the entire table, their sheer quantity and variety making everyone stare in disbelief.

It was not just Gerrick and Shuizhu who were dumbfounded; the rest of us were badly stunned as well. What even was all this? Spicy strips for fifty cents a pack, preserved plums for one yuan, popping candy for one-fifty, unlabeled crispy rice crackers, mystery beans with no production date, puffed snacks that looked like they had already leaked oil, and even a chocolate bar with bite marks on it...

Lin Xue casually shoved that chocolate bar into my mouth, then bared her teeth in mock ferocity when she saw my subtle expression. "What, you think Miss is gross? I only took one bite. It's not like you haven't tasted it before!"

See, in this context, "it's not like you haven't tasted it before" could be interpreted in far too many ways. I could hardly imagine anyone not letting their mind wander under these circumstances, and in fact, letting it wander was the only proper response. Everyone present except the actual children went there at the same time. Viska looked over with the expression of someone watching a pervert, Qian Qian absently touched her own teeth, Sandora handed over a Light Disc case with bite marks on it, Suigintou began chewing on my head while making muffled growling noises like an angry kitten, and Lin Xue, the culprit, simply continued pulling out snacks as if nothing had happened.

I really wanted to boldly ask: Snowy, as a wealthy young lady worth billions, did you really need to indulge in snacks soaked in gutter oil
