Chapter 325: So Expensive Boiled Fish

Even though a meal at school only costs a dozen or so yuan,

Chi Qingyao could still tell that Su Li didn’t treat her like an outsider.

“Okay, I’ll transfer the money to you.”

Chi Qingyao didn’t hesitate.

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle.

Although someone had gotten ahead of her, that didn’t affect her catching up from behind.

Seeing the money arrive, Su Li could sense that Cat’s eyes lit up entirely.

“Do you want to eat this one?”

Su Li looked at Cat and asked. Cat quickly shook her little head.

She had already earned money; she couldn’t let Su Li go hungry.

Besides, Su Li had to go to class, while she could go home and eat something.

She looked at Su Li, then secretly glanced at Chi Qingyao and Chi Qingya.

Seeing that aside from Su Li, the other two weren’t paying attention to her, Cat secretly popped a piece of cat food into her mouth.

“See if there’s anything else you want to eat. Cat came to our school, and I haven’t even treated you to a meal here.”

Su Li’s tone was calm, but her gaze remained fixed on Cat.

Cat felt a bit embarrassed. Seeing Su Li stand up, she had no choice but to stand up and quietly follow behind Su Li.

Seeing the two leave, Chi Qingyao’s gaze turned to her sister, who was sitting there in a daze.

Ever since they entered the cafeteria, her sister hadn’t gotten any food; she had just been sitting there blankly.

Although Chi Qingyao didn’t understand what her sister was spacing out about.

“Isn’t sister curious about what Su Li usually eats?”

Chi Qingyao looked at Chi Qingya and asked.

Chi Qingya looked at the bento in front of her. She was indeed a bit curious about how she had lost.

Chi Qingya was naturally extremely curious.

If she could find out what Su Li ate, she could learn from it accordingly.

Then, when she found a way to make up with Su Li, she could give Su Li the bento she had prepared.

Or, from time to time, she could give Su Li a bento as an apology gift.

For now, it seemed that Su Li didn’t dislike having her around.

From that perspective, she still had plenty of opportunities.

Chi Qingya looked at her sister, who was rubbing her hands together like a fly.

She quickly understood what her sister meant—her sister wanted her to reimburse the cost.

Compared to treating others to meals before, a meal costing fifty yuan was nothing.

Soon, Chi Qingya reimbursed Chi Qingyao.

“Yay! Thank you, sister. When I finish eating the bento, I’ll analyze what’s inside for you, to help you with your strategy.”

“We sisters united will be invincible!”

Chi Qingyao said. She felt that she still had too little information.

The channels to understand Su Li were also few, but that was okay; she had her sister.

Anything related to Su Li could be reimbursed by her sister.

It was like having a cheat code supporting her dating sim.

Chi Qingyao believed that with her sister’s help, she would one day max out Su Li’s affinity.

“Okay.”

Chi Qingya replied lightly to her sister. She also wanted to use this opportunity to learn more about Su Li.

Back when she was with Su Li, there had been many ways and means to get to know her.

But now it had to wait until Su Li had left, and she had to pay money to learn about Su Li.

Compared to that girl called Cat, she was already at a disadvantage from the start.

After all, she wasn’t the one who could cook.

But compared to Bai Huizi, she was the one without money.

Both of them were very attractive, and Chi Qingya suddenly didn’t know what advantage she had.

Perhaps the only advantage she could claim was having a younger sister.

She could ask her sister to help her, right?

After receiving the money, Cat carefully used Su Li’s bento to reserve a seat.

She obediently followed Su Li, her eyes scanning the cafeteria menu signs and prices.

Cat didn’t want to eat expensive food.

If the food was expensive, Su Li would have to spend more.

Especially since she had just earned some money; if she ended up spending extra, it would defeat the purpose.

However, Cat also noticed that the food in Su Li’s cafeteria was very cheap—most dishes were only a dozen yuan and already quite lavish.

Some particularly generous meals even cost single digits.

She wondered if she should eat with Su Li in the cafeteria every day from now on.

Then sell the carefully made bentos.

But Cat didn’t know if her bentos would be liked by other students.

In terms of cost-effectiveness, her bentos couldn’t compare with the cafeteria food.

So the cost-effectiveness wasn’t very high.

Even she thought that selling her bento for fifty yuan was a very expensive thing.

Sure enough, staying close to Su Li made even someone like her, who wasn’t good at making money, become amazing?

Cat knew clearly that it was because of Su Li.

If not for Su Li, she probably wouldn’t even have had any customers for her bentos.

The other person probably wouldn’t keep buying her bentos, right?

“Do you want to eat boiled fish?”

“Fish?”

Hearing Su Li’s voice, Cat swallowed.

“Okay.”

She wanted to eat fish.

Actually, she hadn’t thought about it at first.

It was just when Su Li asked her that she suddenly craved it.

‘If only Su Li’s friends could eat the bento I prepare every day.’

Cat thought to herself.

She thought she could prepare bentos for herself and Su Li, then bring them to the restaurant.

Maybe someone would want to eat them and buy from her.

That way, she could eat the relatively cheaper cafeteria food.

If no one bought from her, she could just eat them herself.

Nothing would be wasted.

Cat was thinking this when Su Li had already brought over a tray of boiled fish and rice.

Cat smelled the rich aroma from afar and swallowed again.

“It looks really delicious.”

“Yeah, it tastes pretty good.”

Cat wanted to carry it herself, but Su Li shook her head.

In the end, Cat had to follow behind Su Li.

But as she looked up, Cat was stunned.

79 yuan…

So expensive boiled fish.

It seemed like she was even subsidizing her meal today.

“Don’t worry, it’s my treat. Cat doesn’t come to the cafeteria often.”

Su Li said calmly. Cat wanted to say that it wasn’t that rare—she could come whenever she wanted.

But she also felt that asking Su Li to cancel it was impossible.

She could only eat it gratefully.

Then on the way back, she would buy more fruit for Su Li.

In the evening, she would prepare fruit medley for Su Li to eat.

Cat looked at the boiled fish in front of her.

‘On the way back, I’ll buy more fruit for Su Li. In the evening, I’ll prepare fruit medley for her to eat.’
