TSMVHATRM Chapter 84

Time Space: the Male Villain Has the Ability To Read Minds Chapter 84: The Meal Was Stolen

When the exam results came out, Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong’s scores were solid, and no classmates would say anything.

The first class was Chinese, taught by Ma Xiangdong.

Pei Tiantian took out her fifth-grade Chinese textbook and opened the first lesson.

There were no learning methods like group discussions at that time.

In class, the teacher was the only one talking, and the students were listening, with little interaction.

Pei Tiantian took notes with a pen, appearing to be serious, but in fact, her mind was elsewhere.

After the first class, she found it really hard to be an elementary school student again.

Pei Tiantian could only silently think about how the plot of her novel would develop later to pass the time.

After the first class, the children in the class rushed out.

Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong also went out to breathe fresh air on the dam.

Pei Tiantian then noticed that the elementary school students were all heading for the water well next to the teaching building.

Many children were scrambling to drink the raw water gushing out of the pressurized well, and were having a lot of fun playing with the water.

There were two particularly tall and prominent children in the group, and they were Pei Zihao and Pei Tianyu.

They also lowered their heads to drink the rushing raw water, and the water splashed all over their faces.

Pei Tiantian: “…”

No wonder Wang Ruizhen gave them pagoda candies to kill roundworms every year.

“Brother Gu Rong, I’m thirsty too.”

Pei Tiantian shook Gu Rong’s hand and said.

Gu Rong went back to the classroom, took out a thermos from his schoolbag, poured water into the lid and handed it to Pei Tiantian.

After Pei Tiantian finished drinking, he poured water for himself.

The two of them sat under the tree, drinking water quietly, in sharp contrast to the group of primary school students who were laughing and playing not far away.

It was as if they were from two different worlds.

Pei Tiantian also realized that she and Gu Rong seemed a bit like the oddballs at school. She asked, “Brother Gu Rong, do you want to play with them?”

Gu Rong shook his head and gave her a careless look that seemed to say, “How could you ask such a question?”

Pei Tiantian: “…”

That’s right, the villain wasn’t just any kid after all.

The only classes now were Chinese and math, both taught by Ma Xiangdong alone. After four morning classes, Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong went to the school’s steam room to steam rice.

Pei Tiantian looked for Pei Zihao and Pei Tianyu, but she heard rumors that they’d run out of school arm in arm with a few other students after school.

She had no idea where they’d gone.

Pei Tiantian was frustrated.

What were her two brothers up to? They hadn’t even eaten lunch.

So she and Gu Rong went to eat together.

There was no cafeteria at school, so students were expected to bring their own rice and food, even carrying firewood.

A large group of elementary school students gathered around the rice-steaming stove, handing enamel bowls to the cook.

The cook then placed their bowls in the steamer.

Gu Rong pulled two brand-new enamel bowls from his schoolbag.

These were prepared by Wang Ruizhen for them that morning, engraved with Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong’s names.

The bowls contained rice, topped with a thick layer of vegetables, salted eggs, and several small pieces of sausage and bacon.

The other students’ bowls were filled with either pork or soy sauce rice. By comparison, Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong’s meal was incredibly sumptuous.

Gu Rong handed the enamel cup to the rice steamer, and then went out with Pei Tiantian.

After the rice was steamed, the rice steamer shouted outside.

In an instant, everyone became agitated and rushed over.

As soon as a cup of rice was taken out, someone would quickly snatch it away. The scene was extremely chaotic.

It was the first time Pei Tiantian had seen such a scene, and she was dumbfounded.

A trace of worry flashed through her mind.

Wait, these people are grabbing so frantically, aren’t they afraid that the enamel cups they are holding are not their own?

Facts have proved that Pei Tiantian’s worries are right. After the people in front had all grabbed them, Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong squeezed in.

Then there were only two tattered and paint-chipped enamel cups left on the steamer.

The rice steamer handed the two enamel cups to them.

Pei Tiantian was a little confused for a moment, and she said with difficulty: “This is not our rice bowl.”

The steaming rice chef did not show any surprise: “Oh, maybe someone brought the wrong one, it’s normal, just make do with it, anyway, everyone brought similar food.”

Pei Tiantian looked at the two enamel bowls, there was no name written on them.

After she opened the enamel bowl, there was only half a bowl of rice with a little pickled mustard on it, which was completely different from the food they brought.

The food in the two bowls was exactly the same, it seemed that the two children who took away their food were from the same family.

Gu Rong frowned slowly.

In the past, he ate very poorly, and no one would take away his food.

This was the first time such a thing happened to him.

Gu Rong quickly realized that when their enamel bowls were taken out just now, the rich food inside must have been seen by someone, so they kept thinking about it.

Pei Tiantian was speechless. “Brother Gu Rong, our rice cups all have our names written on them. If someone accidentally took the wrong one, they should have returned it immediately. But they didn’t, which means they must have stolen it on purpose. Forget it, let’s go find my godmother. I don’t want to eat from someone else’s rice cup.”

Gu Rong could only nod. Before leaving, he carefully examined the two remaining enamel cups.

The paint was peeling, and the handles were pitted and stained.

Gu Rong felt vaguely familiar.

A suspicion quietly emerged in his mind.

Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong went to Tao Jing for help with their meal.

Tao Jing, knowing that their enamel cups had been taken and they had nothing to eat, comforted them.

She said that such things happened frequently in their school, and with hundreds of children, it would be difficult to find out who had taken their food. She asked them to be more open-minded.

Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong followed Tao Jing to eat the teacher’s meal.

Unlike students, teachers do not need to bring their own rice and vegetables. Teachers eat for free in school.

The teachers’ meals are much more abundant, but after Pei Tiantian finished eating, she was still thinking about the two thieves who stole their meals.

When she passed by the steaming room, she found that the two tattered enamel cups on the stove were gone.

Pei Tiantian’s anger suddenly rose.

The two thieves took back their own enamel cups, and they were unwilling to return their enamel cups to them.

This was too much.

“Brother Gu Rong, I must find out who these two thieves are!”

Pei Tiantian clenched her fists and said angrily.
