Chi Qingya remembered the girl that Caixiangxiang had mentioned to her before, the one who gave bento to Su Li.
Maybe it was this girl in front of her.
The other girl had looks that were not inferior to her own.
What advantages did she have compared to her?
Last time, she had prepared boiled fish for Su Li, but it still couldn’t compare to the bento the other girl had prepared for Su Li.
Chi Qingya wondered if, without her notice, this girl in front of her had already replaced her position.
She felt somewhat uneasy.
She always felt that her place in Su Li’s heart was being slowly replaced by this girl.
She felt even more uneasy.
Chi Qingyao, on the other hand, was staring at the bento in Cat’s hands.
She found it very interesting.
‘Even though Su Li is an NPC, someone still prepares bento just for him?’
Even from a distance, watching Su Li open the bento box, Chi Qingyao could still feel the intense care that was poured into it.
‘A bento made with love, right?’
Just like in the anime she had seen.
This game was way too real.
Even the characters had their own lives.
‘If I hadn’t appeared, maybe Su Li would have lived with this girl for the rest of his life?’
Chi Qingyao thought to herself.
She suddenly felt like the “other woman” intruding into someone else’s peaceful life.
Destroying a sincere relationship.
Treating Su Li as her plaything.
‘If Su Li ends up liking me, will this girl be sad?’
‘Oh, maybe not just this girl—my own sister will be sad too.’
‘After all, my sister also has a soft spot for Su Li.’
‘No, maybe I can also be called the “other woman” here. Because even with this girl who brings Su Li bento, Su Li’s expression when looking at her is still indifferent.’
‘All business-like.’
‘Are they childhood friends?’
‘Usually, childhood friends act like these two—one prepares bento for the other.’
‘If they are childhood friends, then that explains everything.’
‘I’m not the “other woman.” I’m Su Li’s destined one!’
‘Childhood friends can never beat the destined one. In the end, the one who wins will definitely be me.’
‘As for my sister, Chi Qingya?’
Chi Qingyao guessed that her sister’s role might be that of an ex-girlfriend.
Like in novels where someone leaves the party and later regrets it.
Her sister was that regretful ex-girlfriend.
And from the looks of it, her sister was indeed full of regret.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been sneaking glances at Su Li from the very beginning, like a rat in a drain.
‘What goes around comes around, but Chi Qingya hasn’t even been in S City for three years of university, so it’s not like “don’t bully a young girl when she’s poor.”‘
‘Chi Qingya is probably already regretting it inside.’
‘She just doesn’t know how to show it.’
‘After all, my sister doesn’t really have any friends.’
While Chi Qingyao was watching Su Li, her gaze shifted to the bento in Cat’s hands.
‘A girl’s homemade bento…’
Even Chi Qingyao, who had many friends, had rarely eaten such things.
Something so full of a girl’s feelings.
‘I really want to eat it…’
‘But wouldn’t that be too much like the “other woman”?’
‘Taking away someone else’s lovingly prepared bento—isn’t that stealing their feelings?’
‘But I really want to eat it.’
Cat felt that the person Su Li had brought was staring at the bento in her hands.
Embarrassed, she used her hand to move the bento closer to her own seat.
Cat didn’t know what Chi Qingyao meant by that.
But she felt that this person was strange.
After all, from the very beginning, this person had been staring at her and Su Li, while the other person had been staring at the bento in her hands.
“Sister, I feel like the food you make is really delicious. Are you selling the bento you prepared?”
Chi Qingyao’s gaze turned to Cat.
Actually, if she had wanted to buy a bento from Su Li, Su Li would definitely have sold it to her.
But if a bento full of someone’s feelings was sold so easily, wouldn’t that create a rift between the two of them?
Then it would be even easier for her to take advantage of the situation and get closer to Su Li.
Even though thinking like that was a bit malicious.
But for an NPC, they probably wouldn’t mind her doing this, right?
Cat hesitated at the girl’s question.
She looked around the dining hall. There were actually many stalls.
There were some dishes she hadn’t even tried herself.
The main reason she cooked for Su Li was to save money.
If the bento she prepared could also be sold, would that help relieve some of Su Li’s pressure?
Cat looked at Su Li. Actually, she wanted to sell.
Because she had cooked for Su Li many times, she already knew his appetite.
The food she prepared for Su Li was a bit more than he could eat.
So there was no need to worry about Su Li going hungry.
If that was the case, she could just sell her own portion.
It didn’t matter to her.
She could just eat some cat food.
Cat really wanted to earn money to help ease Su Li’s burden.
But she didn’t know if doing this would embarrass Su Li.
Feeling Cat’s sneaking gaze, Su Li understood what she meant.
Since Cat had prepared the food, she didn’t have the right to overstep.
“Do you want to sell the bento you made, Cat?”
Cat blinked at Su Li. She wasn’t sure if Su Li wanted to hear the truth or a lie.
Cat couldn’t tell what Su Li was thinking from his face, but she felt that he was simply asking if she was willing.
“I… I want to.”
Cat said quietly, not knowing if she was doing the right thing.
Su Li respected Cat’s decision.
He could feel that Cat would be happy if she earned money.
That was enough.
As for the price of the food, it was quite expensive.
Su Li, based on the standard of cooking for himself, looked at Chi Qingyao.
“I also pay her for the bento I get. If you think the price isn’t right, you can choose not to buy.”
“Fifty dollars a serving.”
Su Li said, looking at the lavish bento Cat had prepared.
‘Fifty dollars…’
Chi Qingyao looked at the bento, then at Su Li, a little pained.
She didn’t know if spending money at Su Li’s friend’s place would increase his affinity.
If it did, then it would be a huge win.
Not only would she get to eat the bento, but she would also gain important affinity points!
