After the fruits were distributed to all the students, Jiang Feifei came to the podium before leaving.
"Is there something?" The teacher asked, facing Jiang Feifei, who stood silently before her.
Glancing at the students below the podium, Jiang Feifei parted her lips absently, "They've all been given out. May I leave now?"
"Yes, thank you for your hard work," the teacher replied politely.
Jiang Feifei turned to see Yu Ze devouring a banana. Satisfied, she turned and left with the cart.
"Brother Yu Ze, do you think the banana tastes a bit off?" Qian Qian took a bite of her banana, chewed twice, and then spat it out.
Yu Ze's banana was almost gone. He looked at Qian Qian as she eyed her banana suspiciously and couldn't help but reprimand her sternly, "Qian Qian, you can't be picky!"
The carrots at noon had already made her eat less. Bananas were fruit, and a small one could be finished in two or three bites.
Seeing that Yu Ze misunderstood, Qian Qian quickly explained, "Brother Yu Ze, I don't dislike bananas. But the taste of today's banana is really not right, it's a little sour."
"Qian Qian is right, the banana doesn't taste quite right." Xiao Ran took a bite, chewed a few times, and then also spat out his banana.
Yu Ze didn't believe their taste buds and reached out to Qian Qian for her banana.
He broke off a small piece and chewed it carefully.
"Is it sour?"
"It's normal, not sour."
Xiao Ran didn't believe it. He put down his banana and tasted Qian Qian's. He felt the same and spat out the banana he had eaten, "It's sour!"
At this moment, the teacher on the podium noticed their actions.
"Qian Qian, Xiao Ran, what are you doing?" the teacher asked, looking at the spat-out bananas in front of them.
Facing the teacher, Qian Qian shyly lowered her head, afraid to voice her thoughts.
Xiao Ran, who feared nothing, stood up and explained, "Teacher, the bananas seem to have gone bad. Mine and Qian Qian's taste sour."
Hearing this, the teacher glanced at the banana in front of him. Visually, the banana looked no different from the good ones. Whether it had gone bad could only be determined by tasting it.
The teacher broke off a small piece of Xiao Ran's, put it in his mouth, and chewed a few times. He felt a slight sourness. He brought the banana to his nose and sniffed it. "Don't eat it. I'll go get you new ones."
"No need to trouble you, Teacher. My sister and I are full and don't want to eat anymore," Xiao Ran refused the teacher's offer.
Glancing at the time, it was almost time for the nap. There would be fruit again after the nap. The teacher didn't make a special effort to get new bananas for the two of them.
After the teacher left, Yu Ze wondered if his sense of taste was failing, "Why do I think the banana is fine and doesn't taste bad?"
"Perhaps it's because you just ate a good one, and there's still the taste of banana in your mouth, so you can't taste the bad banana," Xiao Ran speculated solemnly.
Qian Qian, who was beside him, nodded in agreement.
"Brother misunderstood you just now. I thought you were being petulant and didn't want to eat fruit," Yu Ze apologized to Qian Qian.
Ye Ziyu had taught them that making mistakes wasn't scary; what was scary was not correcting them.
Qian Qian covered her mouth and smiled happily, "Brother Yu Ze, you can't doubt me next time, or I'll be unhappy. It's because I was picky earlier, so I don't blame you."
"Do you guys think the life teacher was a bit strange today?" Xiao Ran suddenly spoke.
He changed the subject, and Qian Qian and Yu Ze looked at him blankly.
Xiao Ran stared at the window. He had inadvertently seen the life teacher, who had distributed the fruits, acting suspiciously by the window, constantly peeking at them.
