When She Stops Being Dramatic novel Chapter 318

Chapter 318: Chapter 121: The Green Tea Female Supporting Character in the Period Novel (8)

Despite being a delicate and pampered girl, Chi Yun’er was a true carnivore. Every few days, she would send Jiang Zishi to the township’s supply co-op to buy meat.

They all suspected that her family mailed over all their meat ration tickets just to feed this thoughtless little girl.

Jiang Zishi didn’t know how to cook, so he would inevitably hand the meat over to the women to prepare. He would then generously leave behind half a bowl for everyone to get a taste of something savory.

Moreover, Jiang Zishi didn’t just buy meat. He would also buy pastries, candies, brown sugar, and refined grains that the young women liked, or pick up a few fried dough sticks and meat buns from the co-op.

Each time, using the excuse that it was rude to eat alone and that he had to keep up appearances, he would share some with the group. At the very least, the female youths might get two pieces of candy one time, a shortbread cookie the next, or maybe a small paper packet of brown sugar—enough for two or three servings—or even half a fried dough stick...

Jiang Zishi was a master of being generous at someone else’s expense, and he did it flawlessly. The strange thing was, even though everyone was eating Chi Yun’er’s food, for some reason, they always thanked Jiang Zishi.

Looking back on it now, they were all quite surprised.

How could they eat Chi’s food while simultaneously looking down on her pampered, pretentious attitude? And how could they get along so well with Jiang Zishi, acting as if they owed him some great debt of gratitude?...

A year was enough time to change many habits. Even if they sensed something was wrong now, getting them to apologize or thank Chi Yun’er was out of the question.

After all, they had already fallen into a fixed mindset. They felt Chi Yun’er wasn’t short on food, so rather than let the excess go to waste, it was better to let everyone else have a taste. In any case, *she* was the fool, unworthy of their apologies or thanks.

Everyone acted in unison as if they hadn’t heard Chi Yun’er, reverting to their usual ways and going about their business.

Chi Yun’er didn’t press the issue. She leisurely finished her steamed egg with minced pork, then drank all of her shredded pork and dough drop soup.

By the time she put down her chopsticks, the sky had already grown dark.

After washing her bowl and chopsticks with hot water and washing soda, Chi Yun’er put them away in her room. Grabbing a change of clothes, she used the warm water left in the pot to shower and wash her hair in the kitchen.

It felt as if a layer of skin had been peeled away. The pores all over her body opened in relief, and the last vestiges of her illness seemed to find an exit and slip away. From head to toe, she felt completely refreshed.

She was toweling her hair dry, her eyes half-closed, when she heard voices from the courtyard.
