Let you be a great man, not a scumbag

Chapter 1581 Use this card.

The whispers of discussion drifted over like feathers, but Jiang Cheng didn't pay much attention to them. He just casually swiped his fingertips across the screen of his mobile phone.

It wasn't until a slightly hurried voice came from behind him that he turned his head to look over.

Ye Wan was still carrying the washed-out canvas bag.

Today she didn't wear the new down jackets I gave her.

Instead, she chose an old black cotton-padded jacket, the hood of which was pulled down low on her head, revealing only half of her face.

That half of the face was faintly red, as if a little shy or nervous.

Her hand was tightly gripping the frayed edge of her campus card, her knuckles turning slightly white from the excessive force.

Ye Wan was obviously also aware of the vague gazes around her. They were like invisible lines, following Jiang Cheng's direction and finally falling on her.

She lowered her head even lower, and even her voice trembled a little.

"What do you want to eat? Use this card."

Jiang Cheng watched her hand tighten around the card, her fingertips still stained with a thin layer of dust from the cafeteria floor. He said softly, "No need, I can do it myself."

"No!" Ye Wan raised her head suddenly. The moment her eyes met Jiang Cheng's, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, and then she lowered her head quickly like a frightened rabbit.

Although her voice was very low, it was extremely firm, as if this was her last insistence.

"This card was originally given to me by... your milk tea shop. I work there part-time as a subsidy, and I only make 600 yuan a month. I can't finish it all by myself. You, you can help me eat some, otherwise it will be wasted."

After she finished speaking, she seemed to be still worried that Jiang Cheng would refuse, so she quickly added, her speech so fast that she stuttered a little: "I really can't finish it..."

Seeing the seriousness that could not be hidden in her eyes, and the somewhat bewildered look, Jiang Cheng's Adam's apple moved, and he finally nodded: "Okay."

Hearing this word, Ye Wan instantly breathed a sigh of relief, and a faint smile appeared on her face.

As if she was afraid that Jiang Cheng would go back on his word, she walked quickly towards the food window, holding the card.

I spent a long time carefully choosing the dishes in the window.

Sweet and sour pork ribs, cola chicken wings, garlic shrimp, and two servings of stir-fried seasonal vegetables that Jiang Cheng mentioned casually last time.

Every time she ordered a dish, she would look up to confirm, as if she was afraid of ordering the wrong one.

Just when Jiang Cheng wanted to take out his cell phone to urge Wang Jian and the others.

A voice came from behind.

"Brother Cheng, I'm sorry, it's all Wu Kun's fault. He suddenly went to the toilet when he was leaving!"

Wu Kun behind him showed his signature big white teeth.

He replied with a grin, "Oh, that's just how I am. I get upset easily when I'm nervous. But it's okay. I'll go to the spareribs window right now and queue up for you. I guarantee you'll get 'dad-level' service!"

Wu Kun was wearing an unzipped down jacket, revealing a sweatshirt with the words "Rich woman seeking sponsorship" printed on it.

Lu Chuan, standing by, chimed in, "Brother Cheng, Wu Kun, you go get the spareribs, I'll go get the cola chicken wings. You said they were delicious last time, and I guarantee you'll queue up faster than you did yourself. Isn't this a considerate father?"

Jiang Cheng originally thought there was nothing wrong with hearing about the father-level service, but Lu Chuan's subsequent sentence immediately made Jiang Cheng feel that he was being implied.

Jiang Cheng immediately laughed and scolded: "Spit it out, after the New Year, you guys have become bad."

"Hahaha~~"

Just as Jiang Cheng was chatting and laughing with them, Ye Wan came back lightly with a tray full of food in her hands.

She saw Wang Jian and others standing next to Jiang Cheng, and a hint of shyness appeared on her face. She nodded awkwardly and greeted them.

Seeing that it was Ye Wan again, Wang Jian and the other two smiled meaningfully at Jiang Cheng.

What does this smile mean?

But Jiang Cheng was too lazy to explain: "Hurry up and get it, or you'll have no food to eat. Oh, you don't have to help me get it, Ye Wan has already bought it."

After saying that, Jiang Cheng took the tray from Ye Wan's hand and walked towards the empty seat.

Watching Jiang Cheng's actions, Ye Wan took another tray, bought two bowls of rice, and quickly walked towards Jiang Cheng's seat.

After sitting down, he pushed a bowl of rice in front of Jiang Cheng.

"These... I've seen other people order them, so they must be delicious. Try them. If they don't suit your taste, I'll change them..."

This was the first time that Jiang Cheng saw a light in Ye Wan's eyes that was different from inferiority, timidity and unworthiness.

The glint in his eyes held a hint of anticipation.

But soon, Ye Wan's ray of light dimmed a little amid the whispers around her.

Jiang Cheng is a popular topic on the school forum.

Especially among freshmen, he is very famous.

After all, the principal invited Jiang Cheng to the stage to speak in front of the freshmen in military training.

So most of the freshmen know Jiang Cheng.

Ye Wan had also seen it just now. Some of the bolder female classmates would even take the initiative to greet Jiang Cheng when passing by.

Once you have money, most of the people around you are good people.

Unlike Ye Wan, Jiang Cheng was no longer surprised by this situation.

After Ye Wan said this, she became mute again.

Jiang Cheng picked up a piece of pork ribs with his chopsticks: "It smells delicious, you should try some too."

Ye Wan hummed, picked up her chopsticks, but only dared to pick up the cheapest vegetables in the bowl in front of her, as if she wanted to leave the delicious ones for Jiang Cheng.

Seeing that Jiang Cheng noticed Ye Wan's actions, he felt a warm feeling in his heart when he saw her sincere yet slightly silly look.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

"Is the milk tea shop busy on New Year's Eve?" Jiang Cheng continued to ask, "I heard from Yang Fan that you are always the first to arrive and the last to leave."

Seeing that Jiang Cheng was still paying attention to what she was doing in the milk tea shop, Ye Wan thought of the 5,000 yuan red envelope she received during the Chinese New Year.

In order to make more money, I rush to the store early every day and work until very late.

However, what impressed Ye Wan even more was that on the evening of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Yang Fan suddenly brought her a bag of sweet cakes, a lot of braised beef, and some steamed seafood.

At that time, Yang Fan said that the family made too much and shared it with everyone.

Ye Wan didn't think much about it.

But later one time, she accidentally overheard Yang Fan chatting with his colleagues, and he mentioned that these foods were actually brought by Jiang Cheng on purpose.

These images circled in my mind.

She raised her eyes, her voice soft and unnoticeable. "Thank you. I'm very grateful for being able to work in your shop. Not only did you give me a red envelope on New Year's Eve, you also sent me a lot of food. The work you mentioned is what I should do."

It was obvious that Ye Wan had discovered that he had been taking special care of her.

Jiang Cheng said "hmm" and didn't talk more about it.

Asked instead.

"In previous years, you would have spent the New Year at home, right?"

Ye Wan nodded: "Yes, I celebrate the New Year with my mother every year."

Seeing that Ye Wan only mentioned her mother, Jiang Cheng felt a little doubtful.

So she is from a single parent family?
