Chen Jianmin glanced at Lu Jueyu and saw her smiling at him. There was no judgment at all in her eyes, unlike others who would avoid him as if he were a rotten trash like his cousin, Gou Dan.
When Dong Huang stood in front of him, she stuffed the milk candies into his clothes pocket and handed him the eggs. Before she could say anything, they heard a loud noise from Chen Jianmin’s stomach, which stunned both of them.
After a few seconds, Dong Huang looked at him and asked, "Classmate Chen Jianmin, have you had breakfast?"
Chen Jianmin was a little embarrassed by her question and didn’t know what to say.
While he was lost in thought, Dong Huang had already squatted down and opened her lunch bag. Then she took out a smoked beef sandwich and a strawberry with whipped cream sandwich from her lunch bag.
After packing her lunch bag, she stood up and said, "Classmate Chen Jianmin, these snacks were made for me by my foster mother as snacks. I will share them with you. Here, try them. They are very delicious!"
Looking at the food wrapped in oil paper, he said, "This... I can’t accept it. You already gave me two eggs, how can I still eat your snacks?"
Before Dong Huang could react, Dong Li had already walked over and said, "Stop dawdling, or we will be late for school."
After saying that, he took his sister’s hand and left without looking at Chen Jianmin.
Dong Huang turned around while being pulled by her brother and said, "Classmate Chen Jianmin, you can eat eggs while walking."
When Lu Jueyu heard this, she shook her head and followed the two of them and said, "Xiao Huang, you can’t eat while walking, otherwise you will get an upset stomach."
Seeing Chen Jianmin still standing there motionless, she added, "Classmate Chen, you will be late if you do not hurry up."
Hearing her words, Chen Jianmin came out of his thoughts. He put the sandwich into his school bag and quickly chased after them. He did not dare to walk side by side with Lu Jueyu, so he could only follow them, keeping a distance of five steps.
Realizing this, Lu Jueyu slowed down until they walked side by side. As they walked together, she asked, "Classmate Chen, can I call you Jianmin?"
Chen Jianmin was caught off guard by her sudden question. He was stunned for a moment, nodded, but said nothing.
Lu Jueyu looked at him and smiled, "Actually, your mother and I are also distant relatives. Your maternal aunt is my maternal cousin’s wife. So, according to family relations, you should call me aunt."
After listening to her words, Chen Jianmin finally said, "Aunt Li, our family relationship is so far apart. My mother and you can only be considered relatives by marriage at best."
Hearing this, Lu Jueyu chuckled and said, "Well, that’s true."
After that, she said nothing more. Although she felt sorry for the boy, she would not try to get close to him without understanding his character. More importantly, she found that her adopted son seemed a little wary when facing this boy.
