At last, it was Guo Ran who paid.
Jiang Ning knew she had just started working, her salary wasn't high, and she loved buying snacks. The naive Xue Yuantong constantly ate her snacks.
It seemed that today's meal cost was another blow to her already tight finances.
After finishing the meal, Guo Ran remembered to ask, "What will Xue Yuantong eat this evening? Shouldn't we buy something for her?"
Jiang Ning replied, "No worries, let her be hungry."
Guo Ran said, "Sure."
Of course, Jiang Ning wouldn't really let Xue Yuantong starve.
She was just not hungry now, but she guessed that she would be hungry during the evening self-study.
Jiang Ning had sent Shao Shuangshuang a message beforehand to have the company cafeteria deliver a portion when the time came.
...
When they arrived at school, Jiang Ning and Guo Ran went their separate ways in front of Building 3.
Guo Ran continued her role as a chemistry teacher.
Jiang Ning continued as a student in Grade 1 Class 8.
