Many times, it’s only when Lin Fei returns to the life around her that she feels a deep sense of reality and presence. Just like now, just sitting in a small noodle shop with a classmate and eating. Such things are calm and ordinary.
"You know, Lin Fei, is your family not well-off?" Wu Xiuye suddenly asked.
"Why would you say that?" Lin Fei was taken aback.
Wu Xiuye rubbed her little nose.
"You don’t seem to care much about dressing up. It always seems like you’re wearing the same few outfits."
Lin Fei was at a loss for words. Should she tell her that she only didn’t bother to change clothes because she had True Force that could clean away stains, dust, and sweat for free?
"I’m just too lazy to buy clothes," she replied.
"Really?" Wu Xiuye clearly didn’t believe her. "I had a high school classmate who went three years wearing the same two outfits, always saying he was too lazy to buy new clothes."
Lin Fei felt helpless. If it were a classmate who really did come from a poor family hearing this, they might get offended on the spot. Even if it were a good friend who heard these words, the relationship would probably become distant right away.
No wonder no one in the class seemed to pursue Wu Xiuye. The deeper reason lay here.
"Okay, let’s leave it at that for today," Wu Xiuye stood up. "I’ve got an event, so take your time eating." She walked out of the noodle shop briskly without dragging her feet, leaving behind an ostensibly petite and cute figure for Lin Fei to gaze at.
