Chapter 286: Collision
Having someone at home to cook for her, waiting for her return to eat, truly gave her a sense of happiness.
It reminded her of her student days, how Grandma used to do the same. As soon as she got home from school, there would be a table full of food, even if it wasn’t mealtime, there were fruits and snacks ready for her. While she ate, Grandma would watch her with pity, saying she was spending too much energy on school and needed to eat more to regain her strength.
Even though the dishes Shen Yixiang made weren’t exactly delicious, they were still much better than those at school. The school only served meat once a week on Wednesdays, and the rest of the time was vegetarian. She usually brought some meat from outside restaurants to supplement her meals, otherwise, she felt she couldn’t stand it. This picky eating habit of hers, despite her efforts to change it, had not been completely corrected yet.
Shen Yixiang made cured pork with garlic sprouts, steamed eggs, and boiled cabbage for lunch. She told Yang PeiMin, "I didn’t go out today. I exchanged eggs with the neighbors for the cabbage and garlic sprouts. The cured pork and eggs are brought from our home. I think this meal is quite good. Try some."
After tasting, Yang PeiMin affirmed her efforts.
Shen Yixiang was gleeful the whole meal, "I cleaned the house today, got everything sorted out. I have nothing to do this afternoon. How about I visit your school? I’ll go with you when you have class later, and then I’ll come back on my own to prepare dinner."
"Sure, the weather is quite nice today. A walk over there should be about right."
Shen Yixiang was delighted and had an extra bowl of rice.
Now, with the school nearing the end of the term, there were barely any people on campus—all were either studying in their classrooms or dorms.
