Xue Rui instinctively wanted to stop her, but anything he did now would just make him look guilty.
So, he found a spot where he could see the two of them and calmly sat down to eat.
Lin Ruoxi was picking at her food with small bites, her eyes glued to her phone screen.
Suddenly, Lin Ruoxi noticed someone sit down across from her. She glanced up to see who it was.
When she saw it was Gu Muxue, Lin Ruoxi tensed up and choked on the rice in her mouth, breaking into a fit of coughing.
"COUGH COUGH…"
Lin Ruoxi instinctively turned her head under the table, afraid her coughing would disturb others while they were eating.
Gu Muxue glanced curiously at the phone on Lin Ruoxi's table—it was the latest iPhone 5.
She had heard that Lin Ruoxi's family was very poor. This phone was far beyond Lin Ruoxi's means.
She was now more certain than ever that Xue Rui had bought it for her.
