I simply couldn't afford this meal.
This is so awkward... I can't break the school rules and exchange academic credits for Exotic Flower Fruits to sell, can I? If I get caught, I'd probably receive a demerit, or worse, I could even be expelled on the spot.
Su Yan thought that, being such a genius, the school would probably let him off the hook. But you can never be too careful! What if there's an unyielding leader at the school? What if they insist on expelling me? Wouldn't that be like blowing up on the spot?
Su Yan didn't dare take the risk. He instantly felt as if his head was as big as a cow. I'm practically turning into a minotaur, he thought.
Seeing this, Qin Yao hesitated for a moment before whispering, "Su Yan, why don't I treat you to this meal, and you can pay me back another day."
She didn't know that Su Yan was already bankrupt and thought he just found the price of the stew too expensive, making him wince a bit.
"This... wouldn't be appropriate, would it?"
