Connections
The two went to the cafeteria together, An Nuan told Liu Chang'an about the specialties of each cafeteria.
The second canteen is cheap and delicious, the braised pork and clay pot soup on the second floor of the apartment canteen are very good, and the sixth canteen is very clean... Before An Nuan and Han Zhizhi's two professor mothers went home to prepare meals, they often frequented the various canteens and were well-known diners in the canteens of Xiangtan University.
Liu Chang'an quickly understood what "famous" meant.
An Nuan and Liu Chang'an went to the apartment cafeteria today.
"What are you eating today, Nuan Nuan... Oh, did you become a student at our school today?" A middle-aged man who looked like a meatball greeted An Nuan casually, then suddenly laughed as if he had just remembered something.
"Yes, I hope you'll take good care of me in the future, Uncle Fatty." An Nuan smiled sweetly.
"What are we having for dinner today? Let me tell you, the braised pork is pretty good, not too fatty, not too lean, just right. We ran out of soy sauce, so we switched to a bottle of Lao Heng He soy sauce," Uncle Pang said with a smile.
"Then let's have braised pork... Oh, by the way, this is my boyfriend." An Nuan pointed to Liu Chang'an.
"Understood!" Uncle Pang glanced at Liu Chang'an and nodded.
What do you know? When Liu Chang'an was getting his food, he noticed that he and An Nuan had significantly more food than the other students.
"Auntie, this is my boyfriend." An Nuan then pulled Liu Chang'an to get some vegetarian dishes.
"Okay, okay, you're a perfect match." Auntie, who was just as fat as Uncle Fatty, also gave them her approval.
After serving the vegetarian dishes, an experienced chef, who could even lift the lid of a clay pot of soup, picked out two for An Nuan Liu Chang'an.
Having connections in the university cafeteria is really useful.
Liu Chang'an never expected that the first interesting thing he and An Nuan in college would be her introducing him to the cafeteria staff.
"How come you're so familiar with the people in the cafeteria?" Liu Chang'an asked with a smile. When he was there, the apartment buildings hadn't been built yet, so there was no apartment cafeteria.
"The management wasn't as strict back then. After playing games in the computer lab, Zhizhi and I would run to the cafeteria for lunch. We got to know each other after a while..." An Nuan said a little shyly. "Actually... it's mainly because I've always been very pretty. Older men and women of this age all like pretty and cute little girls."
"Honest." Liu Chang'an agreed with her describing herself as a pretty and cute little girl, unlike some girls who like to post selfies endlessly and always say they are not good-looking, quite ugly, and very pretentious.
An Nuan carefully examined Liu Chang'an's eyes, expression, and tone, but she still couldn't determine whether he was being sarcastic or if his praise was genuine or just mild sarcasm. It was hard to tell.
Most importantly, in Liu Chang'an's eyes, when she was younger, she was someone who climbed trees and scaled walls. She said she was pretty and cute... While that was true, Liu Chang'an might not have thought so.
"By the way, what were you doing in the apartment building just now? Were you helping your cousin?" An Nuan asked.
"How could I be so diligent?" Liu Chang'an was very self-aware. "She arranged a dormitory room for me."
"Aren't you a day student?" An Nuan asked, taking a sip of soup with a puzzled look.
"It's just a place to rest occasionally. Living in a dormitory means breathing in other people's exhaled air, athlete's foot, body odor, and fermentation gases in a closed space. Occasionally, it's not so bad, but if you think about living there for several years, and countless nights, I still can't accept it." Liu Chang'an shook his head. In summer like this, with the air conditioning on and the dormitory doors closed for a long time, the smell becomes unpleasant.
Liu Chang'an, a person who needs trees at his door and windows, doesn't like to get used to living and eating with others.
"That's true... but there are many things you really can't think about too much. The way you put it is quite unpleasant." An Nuan laughed. Actually, most people don't mind this issue, or rather, they don't think about or face it.
While putting braised pork from her bowl into Liu Chang'an's bowl and exchanging vegetables with him, An Nuan pondered the problem.
"You mean you won't get used to living under the same roof as someone else? After all, you'll feel uncomfortable with the atmosphere of another person's life." An Nuan couldn't help but ask tactfully, even though it was a rather distant question, she still wanted to ask.
"If it were you, I would like it very much." Liu Chang'an smiled.
An Nuan straightened her back with composure, pursed her lips, and refused to let a shy smile bloom on her face. She poured all the braised pork in her bowl into Liu Chang'an.
"Actually, there's no need for that at all. For example, if you have classes after the morning, and then classes in the fifth, sixth, seventh, or eighth period in the afternoon, you can come to my house to rest. You can take a nap in my bed, and I'll sleep in my mom's bed," An Nuan suggested.
"How can I sleep then?" Liu Chang'an shook his head.
An Nuan and shy.
"You tricked me into your bed, what do you want to do to me? Don't do this, your ulterior motives are too obvious," Liu Chang'an said earnestly.
An Nuan slowly raised her head, letting Liu Chang'an see her fierce expression.
"So cute, like a cat that's been annoyed." Liu Chang'an reached out and pinched An Nuan's nose.
An Nuan turned her head and opened her mouth to bite, but Liu Chang'an nimbly dodged it.
"I just remembered something." An Nuan had originally planned to sit down and punch Liu Chang'an, but since it was a public place, she decided against it. There was something very important she almost forgot to mention, "Bai Hui lives very close to your biology department, just across the street, and she even lives on campus! That means if she's studying, she'll likely be going to the same library or study room in the same teaching building as your department!"
"You're from our School of Biology too?"
"I... who am I?"
"The most basic, simplest, and oldest application of biotechnology is biological fermentation. Vinegar brewing is a form of biological fermentation. Since you're so professional in making vinegar and acids, of course it's from our School of Biology."
"Are you saying I'm being unreasonable?!" An Nuan said angrily, while Liu Chang'an's attitude was very improper.
"I didn't say you were being unreasonable." Women are really something; their way of understanding things is so different from men's. Liu Chang'an only said she was jealous.
"Ugh, this is so annoying, I'm not eating."
"Okay, I'll pick some grass for you to take back later, so you don't go hungry."
An Nuan finally sat down and pounded Liu Chang'an's arm for ten minutes.
After finishing their meal, An Nuan accompanied Liu Chang'an downstairs. They chatted with Qin Yanan for a while at the welcome point, and only after enough students who appeared to be from the School of Biology saw her with her arm around Liu Chang'an did she successfully cross the street to catch the bus.
At 2 PM, Liu Chang'an and the other three people in his dormitory went to the classroom. The School of Life Sciences only has two undergraduate majors: Biotechnology and Biomedical Engineering, which is quite small compared to other colleges.
"Your girlfriend might not be the best in the world, you know?" Wei Xuanyi said to Liu Chang'an with a hint of provocation as they walked to the entrance of the School of Biology.
Liu Chang'an will not be swayed by others' provocations.
"You'll see when you get into the classroom," Sun Shutong said with absolute certainty.
Qin Zhiqiang smiled gently as he held his phone.
I caught a cold today, have a headache, and the free trial period is over... As the author who updated most actively during the free trial period, I'm asking for monthly tickets. Ugh, stop ugh, I'll pee myself.
