Qiu Li brought Jiang Yu to the snack street behind the university town. The snack street was very lively at night, and almost the whole street was bustling with people coming and going, all the students from nearby schools came out to have lunch.

They entered a roadside restaurant and ordered single-person dishes.

The steaming Maocai was brought up, but Qiu Li did not move his chopsticks, but waited patiently for Jiang Yu to take her first bite and snatch her bowl back and ate it.

He handed her his bowl.

Jiang Yu couldn't bear it anymore, and with a "slap", he slapped the chopsticks on the table and said angrily: "Qu Li, what do you mean!"

Qiu Li said: "My bowl is not moving, it's clean."

"Let me treat you to a meal, that's all." Jiang Yu couldn't understand: "Why do you always steal mine?"

"No," Qiu Li said with confidence: "I like it."

"You guy..."

Jiang Yu suppressed his anger and silently advised himself in his heart, forget it, don’t treat him as a boyfriend, he is just a client of Party A.

Nowadays, who is more familiar with the Party A?

Thinking of this, Jiang Yu calmed down, took the chopsticks and ate his portion of the mao dish.

Qiu Li ate very slowly, very slowly, and chewed slowly, as if he wanted to taste the taste of each food.

Jiang Yu looked up and observed him. He was as serious as he was when he was reading books. He didn't speak, but just tasted the food seriously.

"Qu Li, where are your parents?"

Jiang Yu tried to chat with him to see if he could open his heart and get some information that would help complete the entrusted task.

"One has left, the other has been in jail."

When Qiu Li said this, he had no expression, as if he was just narrating something that had nothing to do with him.

Jiang Yu asked again: "Is it because of jail..."

"Are you interested?"

"Of course."

Jiang Yu had already thought of the excuse: "Of course you need to understand your boyfriend's family background clearly, it's normal."

Qiu Li felt it made sense and answered truthfully: "The crime of abuse."

"Who are you abused?"

He pursed his thin lips: "I."

“…”

Jiang Yu no longer asked about his father, but asked, "What about your mother, does she care about you?"

Speaking of mother, Qiu Li's originally cold eyes suddenly became a little softer: "She doesn't know my situation, so I didn't contact her."

"Oh, then why don't you contact her?" Jiang Yu asked curiously: "Isn't eating a problem?"

"She is very good." Qiu Li said calmly: "I want to get into a good university. After I have achieved my grades and make a name for myself, I will contact her again..."

The mother has a very heavy weight in his heart. He hopes to appear in front of his mother with a better appearance.

Jiang Yu noticed that when talking about her mother, Qiu Li's eyes were different from before, with no hostility, and replaced by endless tenderness.

It is hard to imagine that such a young man who retains warmth and tenderness in his heart will walk towards the abyss step by step toward the abyss without returning.

Jiang Yu chewed the vegetables thoughtfully, planning many things for the future in her heart.

Qiu Li finished the meal in the bowl, put down the chopsticks, sucked the tissue, wiped his mouth, but saw that the food in the bowl of Jiang Yu had hardly moved much.

His face darkened: "What, do you dislike me?"

"No." Jiang Yu replied: "I usually don't eat after 8 o'clock, and I usually only eat meal replacement powder at night and rarely eat greasy."

Especially, as the promotion competition is approaching, she must control her diet.

The ballet suit is very slim, and even a little bit of excess flesh will be exposed in terrifyingly.

No audience would like to see the fat swans on the stage.

Qiu Li hasn't tasted the delicious food for too long, so it's hard to understand Jiang Yu's intentional way of not eating in order to lose weight.

He stood up silently, went to the store's self-service bar to serve a bowl of rice, and handed it to Jiang Yu: "You can't eat greasy food, you can eat it."

"Rice is starch, too..."

Before he finished speaking, Qiu Li dug a spoon with a spoon and stuffed it into her mouth roughly: "Don't eat meat or food, do you want to cultivate immortality?"

Jiang Yu:...

Well, she just practiced dancing, and her stomach was bloating now. The white rice delivered to her mouth was chewed and it was quite fragrant.

Jiang Yu picked up the spoon and started eating on his own.

Seeing that she was obedient, Qiu Li raised the corner of her mouth and said, "I will not lose weight in the future."

"That won't work." Jiang Yu said: "If you gain weight, you can't dance."

"Eat this bowl of rice first."

"oh."

Jiang Yu lowered her head and pulled the white rice. Knowing that Qiu Li was caring for her, a sweet feeling in his heart inexplicably.

He is quite warm.

However, as soon as the idea arose, Qiu Li brought the bowl of maobai that she had not finished eating to him: "Since that's the case, you won't eat this bowl, right?"

Seeing that Jiang Yu didn't answer, Qiu Li said to himself: "If you don't eat, then I'll eat it."

After saying that, she started eating her beef mao dish with a delicious taste.

Jiang Yu: "..."

This guy served her white rice, but it was not because of concern, but because of her food!

Have you never eaten in this life or what?

Jiang Yu, who was self-indulgent, suddenly felt that the white rice in her mouth was no longer fragrant.

After the midterm exam, Jiang Yu passed the [Knowing the Winning] app to do tasks and earned tens of thousands of yuan.

The tuition fee of Esmeral Art Center for the first year is still quite short of 200,000 yuan, but Jiang Yu believes that she will earn this money sooner or later.

There is another difficult thing now, which is to get the support of my mother Jiang Manyi.

After all, she couldn't keep dancing from her mother.

That night, Jiang Yu showed Jiang Manyi the results of the midterm exam.

In the past, Jiang Yu's grades were completely unsupported. This time, Jiang Manyi was so happy that she took the exam.

"Now, we will definitely not run to the key university. In the future, we will take the law department and be a pretty good-looking legal girl."

"Mom, you've watched too many TV series, and you're also a pretty good-looking lady."

Jiang Manyi looked at Jiang Yu's report card and smiled and said, "Civil servants are not bad, they have a strong job."

Jiang Yu picked up vegetables with chopsticks and said, "What era is this?"

"Anyway, no matter what you study, my mother supports it. As long as you can get into a key university, you can study the major you like."

“I just like ballet.”

Speaking of this, Jiang Manyi also put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hand: "Why are you just unwilling to listen to your mother?"

Jiang Yuxiaozhi was moved by emotion and reason, saying: "Esmera is the hall of ballet all over the world. If I could enter that place, my path would really open up. I would not have to worry about performances or food and clothing in the future. My idol Bu Tanyan graduated from Esmera Art Center."

Hearing Bu Tanyan's name, Jiang Manyi's hand shrank, and with a "pop", the chopsticks fell to the ground.

"No, you can't go there, absolutely no!"

Jiang Yu picked up the chopsticks for her and asked anxiously: "Why?"

"Do you know where, it's a place where people eat and don't spit bones!"

"Mom, why do you say that?"

"Do you know how fierce the competition is in the so-called ballet temple? Do you think you can make a name for yourself after entering? Impossible!"

"Then you don't believe me too much." Jiang Yu curled his lips and said confidently: "I will become a person like Bu Tanyan. I will stand at the highest place and become a ballet queen that is loved by the whole world!"

Jiang Manyi excitedly held Jiang Yu's thin shoulders: "You think of standing in a glittering position, do you know what you will give for it? Youth, love, these are not enough, and even life...just like... like..."

After all, Jiang Manyi couldn't bear to read her name - Bu Tanyan.

"Xiaoyu, I heard from my mother that I only hope that you live an ordinary life, eat all kinds of foods you like, and don't need to lose weight or diet; in the future, you can fall in love, get married, feel the joy of being a parent, and feel the peace of growing old together..."

"But if you can't do what you like, what's the point of all this?"

Jiang Yu shook her head and said firmly: "I will stick with it and become a real ballet dancer."

Seeing that she was not in the air, Jiang Manyi simply said, "Okay, then you go, I don't have the money to pay you the tuition. How much is Esmeral's tuition a year? It's hundreds of thousands. If you can earn it, then you go."
