The morning passed by easily. Lalisa had finally had the seafood feast that she hadn't been able to eat for a long time... Although it had only been a few days, Lalisa felt as if she hadn't seen seafood for a whole half of her life already.

Somi looked at the satisfied and placated Lalisa, then looked at the large pile of shrimp shells and crab shells in front of her, blinked and asked Lalisa, "Are you full?"

Lalisa didn't care about her belle image at all, burped and nodded. She glanced at the stunned Somi and suddenly thought of something. She hurriedly called the waiter to add half a kilo of bamboo shrimp. Somi looked at her in shock, touched her wallet with her hand hidden under the table and wondered whether she had brought enough money to pay for the meal... But soon she remembered that Lisa had coached her in maths this morning, which had already helped her a lot. She took a deep breath... Alright, if she hadn't brought enough money with her, she could call Mom for help!

"My stomach is somewhat full." Lalisa took a sip of orange juice, complaining in her heart, "Alas, 008 is to blame. Otherwise I'll be sitting here enjoying lobster and white wine. How wonderful it would be!"

Somi blinked. Soon the bamboo shrimp was served. Lalisa's eyes lit up. Just when Somi was about to take the bamboo shrimp from the waiter, Lalisa had already reached out to take it. Somi looked at Lalisa with doubt. Didn't she want her to help her peel the shrimps?

Just as she was about to ask, Lalisa said with a smile, "I had been eating while you had been peeling the shrimp for me. You aren't full yet, right? Now I'll peel shrimps for you and you just need to eat."

She peeled one shrimp as she said. She handed the shrimp flesh to Somi and smiled. "It's your turn to eat now."

Somi's eyes became red. She didn't expect Lisa was so nice. She ordered the half kilo of bamboo shrimp not because she wasn't full yet, but because she thought she wasn't full!

Lalisa was at a loss what to do seeing Somi was about to cry. She hurriedly wiped her hands and handed Somi a tissue, "Hey, my dear little Somi, why do you cry? Others might think I'm bullying you!"

Somi felt a lump in her throat. She ate the shrimp flesh and smiled at Lalisa, saying, "I didn't have any true friends. Those in City W made friends with me because of my family, or were forced by their parents to integrate themselves with me. In City A, I don't have any true friends either. You're the first friend of mine who both my mom and I truly like. I thought you would be like them... but you aren't..."

Lalisa pursed her lips. Was she different? She made friends with Somi, because she didn't want her to tell others what her mother told her... But upon hearing her words, she suddenly felt it was not bad to make friends with this little girl.

Somi's eyes were red. She sniffed and said with a teary smile, "My former friends only care about what I can give them. They would fawn on me merely when they needed something from me. They never cared about whether I was full or not, nor asked me the question you did just now."

As she spoke, Lalisa handed her another shrimp. Somi froze, then took it with a smile and continued, "But you're different. You are so concerned about me, caring whether I'm full or not and peeling shrimps for me. You're so nice. I really wanna be good friends with you."

"I coached you because I had decided to be your friend." Lalisa smiled. She barely cared about others' thoughts before and didn't even bother to think of it, so she was framed by those people, but now she found that in fact, sometimes a lot of people and things deserve to be loved and treated sincerely. As long as you choose the right people, you would be rewarded.

Seeing that the sentimental Somi was about to speak again, Lalisa smiled as she said, "Okay, just eat the shrimps. It's nearly 1:30 pm and we'll have to go back for class."
