What mattered most to her, deep down?]
Although it had been a while since lunch began, it was still not that late, so there were plenty of people in the cafeteria.
Lu Yuanqiu guessed that was probably why Bai Qingxia had chosen a seat tucked away in a corner.
With his backpack on, he walked toward her. He was just about to greet her from behind when he suddenly froze.
Bai Qingxia was not eating.
Her head was lowered as she fiddled intently with something.
Lu Yuanqiu stepped to the side and saw what was on her table.
A tray, still holding nothing but plain white rice, with no vegetables or meat.
The clear plastic lunch box beside it, however, contained green vegetables and a small portion of meat. Apparently, she had bought both vegetable and meat dishes, but had no intention of eating them herself.
Lu Yuanqiu could not help frowning.
As she worked, Bai Qingxia picked up her chopsticks and took a bite of rice, followed by a sip of the free soup. Then she lowered her head and continued fiddling with the object in front of her, seemingly absorbed in it.
Lu Yuanqiu moved closer to look.
He fell silent at once.

Lu Yuanqiu lowered his head and silently watched the hair clip, now mangled beyond recognition. Even its pink coating had become indistinct. Or rather, it no longer looked like a hair clip at all.
But Bai Qingxia did not seem to care. She just wanted to piece it back together.
