Zhuang Nainai had retorted,
I’m poor, but I’m happy. You’re rich, but you’re not as happy as I am because of your wealth! So what gives you the right to ridicule me?

After she said this, she had raised her head. She didn’t feel as though she was of a lower status than Zuo Yiyi.
And Zuo Yiyi was in shock after hearing what Zhuang Nainai had to say. She’d wanted to rebut Zhuang Nainai but had no idea what to say in response.
Her face suddenly turned stark red. Indeed, she had nothing she really had to strive for in her life. Her only goal was her Brother Ting.
However, her Brother Ting completely ignored her.


As she thought about this, she couldn’t help but ask Zhuang Nainai a difficult question.
Brother Ting loves eating crabs too. Didn’t you say that you love Brother Ting most of all? If you really like him, then let him have the crab!

Her train of thought was simple. She was simply trying to put Zhuang Nainai in a difficult position.
And after Zhuang Nainai heard what Zuo Yiyi had to say, she’d turned and looked at Si Zhengting, who arched his eyebrow at her.
Si Zhengting had kept his head lowered, eating his food without saying much as usual. After he heard what Zuo Yiyi had to say, he’d lifted his head, calmly gazing at Zuo Yiyi. Zuo Yiyi had angrily snapped her mouth shut at the next instant.
He turned his head again and saw Zhuang Nainai looking at him anxiously. It was as though she was pleading with him through her gaze — please tell me that you don’t like eating crabs! However, he didn’t say a word as he lowered his head again.
Zhuang Nainai was at a loss for what to do.
Ever since the cafeteria had announced a week ago that they would be having crabs for their meal today, she had eagerly waited for the day to arrive. She had even told her mother that she would bring the crab home so that they could share it.
This day had finally come, but the consequence was…
Zhuang Nainai’s conflicted emotions had been evident from her expression. But after she deliberated for a long period of time, she gave the crab to Si Zhengting. Her heart ached as she said,
Take that and eat it.

He paused and took the crab.


It was as though Zhuang Nainai’s heart was dripping blood. She felt that it wasn’t the crab that was going to be eaten — instead, it was her own flesh.
And she watched as he elegantly pried the crab apart, slowly placing the meat from its legs, other portions of the body, and the yolk neatly on his plate. He threw the shell away.
Zhuang Nainai swallowed. She wasn’t looking at the crab but at him.
No matter what he was doing, he always seemed to be deadly serious about it. A man who was serious about what he was doing was the most charismatic man. She suddenly found her heartbeat accelerating.
She suddenly felt that it had been worth it to give him her crab as she could openly appreciate him prying the crab apart!
Just as she was drooling over his actions, she saw him passing the plate of crab meat to her, then calmly remarking,
Eat.

Zhuang Nainai was really touched at that moment.
She felt that the gesture was overwhelmingly sweet. They hadn’t been a couple at that period of time, and he hadn’t accepted her romantic advances toward him. However, she’d felt really happy in those moments.
However, she had pushed the plate back to him.
Isn’t this your favorite food?

Si Zhengting shook his head.
I don’t like eating crabs.



After he said that, Zuo Yiyi had raised her head, about to say something. However, she saw Si Zhengting glaring at her and thus kept her mouth shut. She glared viciously at Zhuang Nainai before lowering her head again.
After Zhuang Nainai heard this, she was overjoyed. She boldly took the plate and placed it in front of her, saying,
Crab is delicious! Especially its yolk! Why don’t you like eating it?

Her words were naturally met with silence.
