Chapter 118: Amazing Taste?

Yan Hanxi arrived just then. He entered the class with smooth, elegant steps. His lopsided collar and general air about him seemed to scream lazy.
Yan Hanxi always looked sloppy and listless, like the typical rich playboy. Even now, while his expression indicated his foul mood, no one found him loathsome. Wherever his gaze landed, girls would blush, and their hearts would race.
Cheng Yi was no exception.
As usual, he walked to He Jing’s side and greeted cheerfully, “Good morning, Merit Student.”
“Morning,” He Jing replied.
He eyed the fresh crumbs staining her lips and teased, “What good food have you been eating behind my back?”
He Jing licked her lips and pointed at something behind him. “Everyone has a share.”
Yan Hanxi turned around and saw Cheng Yi standing up from her seat, holding an exquisite paper box.
Nestled within was a snack. It was small and shaped like a pear, with a crispy golden surface. It looked very tempting.
Cheng Yi walked up to him and called out shyly, “Student Yan.”
Her intent was self-evident.
Yan Hanxi glanced sideways at He Jing and then at Cheng Yi. He smiled playfully and asked, “What’s the occasion?”
Cheng Yi had prepared a reason just for this question. She boldly looked up at him.”Student Yan, I accidentally ate a very delicious snack yesterday. I want you to try it!”
Yan Hanxi’s eyes never left He Jing. “I don’t eat things others have eaten,” he responded casually.
“No one else has eaten this before,” Cheng Yi quickly said. “I prepared this for
Student Yan alone…”
After a pause, she feared he would not believe her, so she dragged Zhou Xue’er into it. “Xue’er can testify.”
“If that’s the case, thank you for your kindness, Student Cheng Yi,” Yan Hanxi said reluctantly.
Cheng Yi was delighted and immediately handed him the snacks.
As long as Yan Hanxi was willing to eat it, she was sure this snack would suit his tastes.
By then, He Jing and her French jelly would be a thing of the past.
Yan Hanxi picked up a piece and popped it in his mouth.
Yan Hanxi never ate other people’s food. He had only broken this precedent once for He Jing, and now a second time for Cheng Yi…
For some reason, everyone in class held their breath.
Cheng Yi watched Yan Hanxi savor the snack, chewing once, twice, three times…
Then, he swallowed it.
He did not puke.
He did not puke!
Cheng Yi could no longer hide the ecstasy in her heart. She beamed and looked at He Jing, full of pride.
The others were also stunned. Could the French jelly He Jing brought to school not be as good as the snacks Cheng Yi had arrived with?
That’s right. He Jing was a poor girl now. What high-end things could she buy?
They looked at He Jing, their eyes filled with sympathy. Yan Hanxi had accepted Cheng Yi’s food, which meant that he had accepted Cheng Yi. He Jing’s position in Yan Hanxi’s heart might be unstable…
Cheng Yi had similar thoughts. Her smile became even sweeter. “Student Yan, do you want some more?”
She thought Yan Hanxi would agree, but he declined, “No, thank you.”
He wiped his mouth with a napkin and said, “It must have been hard on you, Student Cheng Yi. It isn’t easy for you to find something that doesn’t taste bad.”
Puff- –
He Jing finally could not help but laugh, her shoulders trembling.
She knew Yan Hanxi would not like it.
But weren’t his words a little too harsh?
Cheng Yi’s face paled, unable to accept this blow. “Wha… What?”
Yan Hanxi mercilessly shattered any illusion she had and said in slow, stilted words, “I stopped eating junk food when I was three..”
