Content:

I brought my childhood friend Liam breakfast, ten warm, generously filled breakfast burritos.
He frowned and said, Stop embarrassing me, okay? I’m not some laborer.
The class beauty, Sophia, patted his shoulder and handed him a beautifully wrapped sandwich.
When she saw my burritos, she exclaimed, "Wow, that’s enough to last me three days !"
I felt a sting.
Then, text bubbles popped up in front of my eyes.
【LMAO, the scholarship kid just walked by lowkey eyeing those burritos.】
【No wonder he becomes a tech mogul later and says in interviews his favorite food is burritos.】
【His stomach is growling so loud lol if someone offered him a few burritos now, they’d probably become his lifelong crush.】
I turned and handed the burritos to my deskmate, the genius. "Want some? They’re still warm."
Unexpectedly, the genius replied coldly, "No thanks. I’m not hungry."
Me: ?
Are both of you messing with me?
I wasn’t ready to give up. I opened the bag.
The smell of meat, dough, and oil wafted out with the rising steam.
Even though I’d already eaten, I couldn’t help but swallow.
"I heard your stomach growling. Are you sure you don’t want any? These burritos are seriously amazing. My dad woke up early to wait in line and buy them for me."
I have this habit,
Whenever I eat something delicious, I really want to share it and get others to enjoy it too.
It feels like a hidden treasure finally getting the recognition it deserves.
After my hard sell, Ethan finally stopped writing and looked up.
His bangs were a bit long, falling smoothly over his eyebrows.
His eyes were calm,detached.
He had a sharp nose, a tight jawline, and a prominent Adam’s apple.
His blue-and-white school uniform was clean but faded at the cuffs.
He was lean but broad-shoulders.
It hit me that he kinda looked like an old-school anime heartthrob, like Rukawa from Slam Dunk.
We’d been desk mates for almost a month since Ethan became my deskmate, but this felt like the first time I’d really looked at him.
I felt my cheeks get warm.
Ethan’s gaze dropped to the burritos in my hand, and his thin lips parted.
"Thanks, but I don’t need your pity."
Then he lowered his head and went back to drowning in his studies.
I stood there, frozen in awkwardness.
Seriously, his stubborn attitude was so Rukawa-like.
Who said anything about pity? I just wanted to share good food!
The text bubbles came back again, this time mocking.
【Hahaha, is she brainless? Trying to openly pity the genius?】
【She probably read the comments and wants to become his white moonlight. How delusional.】
【The genius already has someone else as his white moonlight. Give it up.】
My face burned hotter.
Because they’d called me out.
That tiny thought of trying to gat close to him had crossed my mind!
A future tech tycoon—of course, he’d be rich.
Was it so wrong to want to be friends early?
Just as I was getting mad, I heard a faint gurgling sound.
It seemed like it was coming from Ethan’s direction.
I glanced over.
Ethan’s pen paused for a second. Then he kept writing like nothing happened.
But I saw the tips of his ears turn pink.
I sighed.
Whatever, why bother arguing with someone who doesn’t have enough to eat?
I tugged gently on his sleeve and turned on the sweet tone I use with my dad.
"Help me out, Ethan. I can’t finish these, and I hate wasting food. Can you eat them for me?"
Ethan didn’t say anything.
I pushed the burritos to his side of the desk. He didn’t push them back.
Tch, so stubborn.
"Remember to eat them. I’m going to the restroom."
There were only ten minutes until morning study session started.
If I didn’t go now, I wouldn’t have another chance!

When I got back to my seat, the whole bag of burritos was gone.
I sniffed the air—no meaty smell left.
Huh, did Ethan not eat them?
Did he throw them away?
