Why Does It Taste So Bad

Wen Nuan took a bite of rice, only to recoil and spit it out instantaneously. A frown etched across her face as she exclaimed, "Did you forget to wash the rice? Why does it taste so bad?"

Jiang Ling'er met Wen Nuan's shocked countenance with a smile.

Wen Nuan was unaccustomed to the meagerly priced rice offered in the canteen.

"Now you understand why I steer clear of rice," Jiang Ling'er quipped with a smile.

In her previous life, Jiang Ling'er always kept a low profile, frequenting the school cafeteria and becoming intimately acquainted with its culinary offerings.

Gloomily, Wen Nuan voiced her frustration, "You knew all along, yet you didn't remind me. Now I'm stuck with heaps of rice. What am I supposed to do? Every grain represents hard work. If I waste it, I'll face punishment."
