Chapter 7: The Little Fatty Who Loves Face and the Young Master Who Loves Food
The Crown Prince's response caused the three individuals to roll their eyes in unison, questioning if this was merely acceptable. Does this imply that with some effort, they could still gain something? Previously, when the Crown Prince declared his intention to achieve a perfect score on the college entrance examination, they were somewhat skeptical, especially considering the existence of subjective questions like the Chinese and English essays. However, if it were said that the Crown Prince participated in some competitive eating contest and won the championship, the three would undoubtedly believe it without hesitation.

However, if it were said that the Crown Prince participated in some competitive eating contest and won the championship, the three would undoubtedly believe it without hesitation
The words of the Crown Prince left the three of them momentarily stunned, and then they glanced at the plates placed in front of them, rolling their eyes in unison. Can these boiled dishes in the cafeteria really be called delicious? Has this guy ever eaten before?
Han Jingjing's words caused Wang Shizi to slightly raise his head, but after giving a vague response, he revealed a smile that looked extremely strange due to his puffed cheeks, and then continued to bury himself in his meal.
Han Jingjing has fully estimated the appetite of this guy who just came out from deep in the mountains, serving a full half kilogram of rice, piling it into a small mountain on the plate, and also serving three portions of vegetables, filling the entire plate to the brim. However, when the four of them sat down at the dining table, the chubby boy felt that it still seemed a bit insufficient.
Having eaten enough, let's hurry back to the dormitory! I still have a few questions I would like to ask Brother Wang!" Han Jingjing said hastily, as he was truly worried that Wang Shizi would continue eating like this. Hadn't he noticed how this manner of eating had drawn the attention of the uncles and aunts serving in the cafeteria?
At this point, perhaps Han Jingjing has the most authority to speak
As Tang Hao and Wang Yu were engaged in a lively conversation, they noticed that Han Jingjing had been speaking less and less. Following the gaze of the chubby boy, they shifted their attention to Wang Shizi, who was engrossed in eating. The two were then astonished by Wang Shizi's appearance, as if he had never eaten in his life. The three of them even glanced at the dishes in front of them simultaneously, casually picking up some food to taste. However, it seemed to be the same flavor as before, with no changes, and it could hardly be described as appetizing.
Hmm, that's about right!" The Crown Prince let out a satisfied sigh, patted his belly, and nodded earnestly.
Thus, what was placed before the four individuals were merely the dining trays used in the cafeteria, and the food served was nothing more than the ordinary large pot rice typical of the cafeteria. To the other three, this could hardly be described as appetizing, and the meal could even be characterized as rudimentary. However, Wang Shizi managed to evoke a sense of a lavish banquet from this simple fare. Indeed, just by observing Wang Shizi's manner of eating at this moment, one would certainly feel as if he were indulging in a Manhan Quanxi feast.
In the end, the Crown Prince consumed five portions of food, each roughly the same size as the first, under the astonished gazes of the three onlookers. Only the first portion was paid for by Han Jingjing; the remaining four were paid for by the Crown Prince himself at his insistence. Additionally, nearly one-tenth of the money given by Principal Yan was spent, which marked the first time the Crown Prince had a slight understanding of the concept of money. The small amount of change he had brought from the mountains was indeed insufficient for him to survive for several days outside, which also instilled in him a sense of gratitude towards Principal Yan.
Without the 500 yuan provided by Principal Yan as a base, he would indeed go hungry
To put it plainly, the Crown Prince has indeed not interacted with peers of the opposite sex over the years. However, this does not mean that he is completely ignorant of the dynamics between men and women, as he has had access to the all-encompassing internet for the past two years. Yet, since no one has ever provided him with guidance in this area, his understanding is only superficial, leaving him unable to contribute to the conversation. Moreover, having just arrived at school today, he is not familiar with the three individuals, so he can only watch as they engage in lively discussion.
Three classmates who have been in the same class for three years started chatting together, and Wang Shizi suddenly felt that he could not insert himself into their conversation. No matter the topic, it felt too distant for him, especially when it came to discussions about a young girl being pregnant; the lewd imaginations of these men were truly astonishing to him.
In the eyes of the image-conscious little fatty, the eating manner of his newly recognized elder brother is indeed somewhat embarrassing, so he naturally wants to take the opportunity to slip away quickly. Moreover, he actually has a few difficult questions he would like to consult this problem-solving genius about
Fortunately, the students in the first and second years of high school have not yet finished their classes, and at this moment, the cafeteria appears quite spacious; otherwise, Han Jingjing would truly feel embarrassed. Despite Han Jingjing's plump appearance, he is quite particular about his image.
The cafeteria in a middle school is certainly not as large as those in universities, which can easily span hundreds or even thousands of square meters, especially considering that this is merely a cafeteria in a less affluent inland county. In reality, this cafeteria provides a dining area of only two to three hundred square meters, capable of accommodating at most around two hundred people at a time, and naturally, there are no options for ordering dishes.
Oh!
This situation continued until four and a half young boys had prepared their meals and sat down in the school cafeteria. Here, Wang Shizi successfully drew the attention of the three who were enthusiastically discussing their college entrance examination choices entirely to himself, and the reason was simple: Wang Shizi had an extraordinary appetite
While they were still excitedly discussing which school to apply to for tomorrow's college entrance examination, Wang Shizi was solely focused on bending over and eating heartily with his head down. The seemingly bland food in Han Jingjing's eyes appeared to Wang Shizi as if it were a rare delicacy in the world. In just a short while, the mountain of food on his plate was already nearing its end.
Han Jingjing could not help but speak up, feeling helpless. The way Wang Shizi ate was so shocking that it almost gave him a sense of horror. He stuffed his mouth full with almost every bite, to the point where his cheeks bulged. After quickly chewing and swallowing, he immediately began to stuff his mouth for a second round. This cycle continued, making Han Jingjing, who had been watching for a long time, fear that this academic overachiever he had just met on the first day might accidentally choke himself to death.
Han Jingjing rolled his eyes, well, it seems he has spoken in vain. However, the way the Crown Prince eats makes him sigh in wonder; what on earth do they eat in the mountains every day? Such unpalatable food can actually be enjoyed so heartily by this person he somewhat admires. This also further confirms Han Jingjing's belief that the Crown Prince has just come out of the mountains. He cannot imagine any child from the city being able to savor the cafeteria's food as if it were a grand banquet.
"Brother Wang, have you eaten enough?" As Wang Shizi set down his chopsticks, Tang Hao cautiously inquired
Perhaps it was because the Crown Prince had just completely astonished this little chubby boy with his problem-solving skills. Although he was chatting enthusiastically with two classmates, Han Jingjing's attention remained focused on the Crown Prince. Even the Crown Prince's first meal at school today was resolutely treated by this little chubby boy.
"What? Are you all not going to eat? But you still have so much food left! Food is one of the scarcest resources on Earth and even in the universe; wasting food is not a good habit! Moreover, these dishes taste so good, how can we waste them like this?" Upon hearing Han Jingjing's words, Wang Shizi's brows furrowed noticeably as he pointed to the three individuals who still had plenty of food left in their bowls.
Brother Wang, do not rush, it is still early, there is still plenty of food in the cafeteria, if it's not enough we can order more, take your time eating
