Chapter 383 Pretending to be poor was just to test you.
Sister Zhu prepared some ingredients for Jiang He, all of which were Jiang He's favorite foods.
Jiang He usually likes spicy food, but since she had a stomachache, she preferred something a little milder, so I prepared a savory version.
The clay pot rice noodles were cooked, and Sister Zhu packed them up.
Let Zhou Chen deliver it to Jiang He first; that concludes our work for lunch.
Zhou Chen looked at the rice noodles that Sister Zhu had packed for him. He was thinking of eating first and then cooking a pot for Jiang He to take to her. He didn't expect that Sister Zhu had already cooked it.
Zhou Chen came here to work because he ate his way around the area and found that the clay pot rice noodles were the most to his liking.
Once inside the kitchen, it was indeed true that the ingredients were all fresh and the environment was very hygienic, so I felt safe eating there.
However, this clay pot rice noodle dish should be eaten in the clay pot; if it's taken away, the taste will be much worse.
Zhou Chen believed that those who chose to take the food away did not know how to appreciate good food.
Delivering food now means he can only pack it up.
Zhou Chen felt a little regretful about his lunch, but Jiang He was his girlfriend, so it was necessary to bring her food.
Zhou Chen also packed up his own portion of clay pot rice noodles.
I took two takeout bowls of rice noodles to Jiang He's dormitory building.
"I brought you lunch, come down and get it."
Zhou Chen sent a message to Jiang He.
Zhou Chen arrived at Jiang He's dormitory building, but Jiang He didn't come down to wait for him.
I checked the messages, but Jiang He hadn't replied.
Why aren't you replying to my messages?
The person didn't come down; did they not see the message?
Zhou Chen frowned, thinking of calling Jiang He and asking her to come down and get it.
"Zhou Chen, are you here to bring Jiang Jiang food?"
Jiang He's roommates Chen Jing and An Yun happened to return and saw Zhou Chen.
There's an agreement in their dorm: whoever gets a boyfriend has to take him out to eat with their roommates.
Jiang He's roommate and Zhou Chen had eaten a clay pot rice noodle dish together in the cafeteria before, and got to know each other.
The two then saw Zhou Chen, who was holding a package of rice noodles, indicating that he had brought food to Jiang He.
"Yes, I've already messaged Jiang He. She should be coming down soon."
"Jiang Jiang isn't feeling well, let's help take her upstairs."
Hearing this from them, Zhou Chen realized that Jiang He was genuinely feeling unwell today, and it wasn't because she was tired or anything else that she wasn't going to work.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you. Jiang He isn't feeling well, so please take good care of her."
Zhou Chen handed Jiang He her portion of rice noodles.
Chen Jing and An Yun returned to their dormitory with rice noodles.
"Jiang Jiang, how do you feel? Are you feeling any better?"
We ran into Zhou Chen downstairs; this is the rice noodles he brought you. Would you like some?
"Jingjing, An'an, thank you."
Jiang He sat up in bed and got off the top bunk.
Chen Jing put the rice noodles in an instant noodle box and placed it on Jiang He's table.
This instant noodle box is specifically for storing takeout meals.
The food in the cafeteria is all put in plastic bags, but you need a box like this to eat it back in the dorm, especially if it contains soup.
The phone screen lit up; it was a message from Zhou Chen.
I bought this phone when I was working part-time at a mobile phone store.
Because all university announcements are sent out via chat software.
Furthermore, there are also grade-level groups, major-level groups, class groups, dormitory groups, and club groups.
Previously, Jiang He didn't have a smartphone, so her roommate had to relay the message.
Outside of class time, she is often out, and you can only contact her by phone or text message. Of course, sometimes you can't reach her, such as when she is working in the cafeteria.
Later, Jiang He realized this wasn't a solution, so she took a part-time job at a mobile phone store to learn more about smartphones.
Later, I bought this smartphone for two hundred yuan.
Because she doesn't need any special features; she doesn't play games or watch videos.
The memory is only needed to accommodate one chat application.
Jiang He read the message Zhou Chen sent.
Fifteen minutes ago, I messaged her saying I brought her lunch, her favorite rice noodles, and asked her to come downstairs to pick it up.
Fifteen minutes ago? Zhou Chen must have sent the message before he even left the cafeteria, right?
She's a patient now; should we tell her to go downstairs and wait for him?
Instead of telling her you'll be notified when you get downstairs, you can tell her you'll be ready to come down in five minutes.
I haven't received a reply to the message I sent a minute ago, and I haven't seen anyone there either.
He waited downstairs for a while and then ran into her roommate. He asked her to bring it up for her to eat while it was hot.
Jiang He looked at the message but hadn't replied yet when Zhou Chen called.
"Jiang He, why didn't you reply to my messages? Is your stupid phone out of battery, stuck, or crashed again?"
Zhou Chen's first words were to blame Jiang He for not replying to his message.
"I wasn't feeling well and fell asleep, so I didn't see the message you sent me earlier."
I just saw it and was about to reply to you.
But you're right, my phone really isn't working very well anymore. It was a cheap phone to begin with, and after using it for so long, it's really not very good anymore.
There's always a delay in receiving messages; I'm planning to get a new one this weekend.
I bought this phone at the cheapest price, and after using it for so long, it's not working very well in many ways.
This phone should have been replaced a long time ago.
The original owner of this phone continued to use it with difficulty until graduating from university.
It was only later, because I didn't receive the company's message in time, that I finally decided to get a new one.
"You want to get a new phone? Why so suddenly? New phones cost a lot of money. Do you have that much money? Are you sure you want to spend that money on a new phone?"
Zhou Chen's tone sounded like a question, and he seemed dissatisfied.
Zhou Chen would often use this tone to question the original owner when the owner wanted to buy something.
He wouldn't directly tell her she couldn't buy it.
I would just keep asking her, "Are you really sure? Are you sure you want to buy this? Do you have the money? Will you need this money for other purposes?"
The original owner was a very frugal person. He needed to make a lot of decisions and hesitate for a long time before buying anything.
His counter-questions would directly shake their own ideas, leading them to give up and continue to make do with the old and bad things.
"Actually, it's not surprising at all. This phone has had problems more than once or twice. Sometimes it will automatically turn off while I'm on a call."
For example, right now, Jiang He's phone has automatically shut down.
She clearly saw that the battery was at 60% just now, but it suddenly ran out of power and shut down.
Jiang He plugged in her phone and set it aside.
She should try the rice noodles first.
Zhou Chen looked at the disconnected phone and tried to call Jiang He again, but the phone was already switched off.
That damn phone is acting up again.
Zhou Chen had personally witnessed Jiang He's phone malfunction, otherwise he would have thought Jiang He did it on purpose.
Even though it still has half the battery left, it can just shut down due to a complete power outage.
Moreover, it cannot be turned on until it is fully charged.
Even if you force it to turn on, it will immediately pop up a message saying that the phone battery is dead and then shut down.
