Grilled fish shop, open-air tables, small and large groups of customers gathered together to chat and enjoy the lively summer night.
Xue Yuantong drank a large glass of ice wine, and the heavy glass fell on the table with a "clink" sound.
She lazily slumped down on the plastic chair and looked around at Jiang Ning and Chu Chu. At this moment, it was probably the best time.
"I'm full, I'm full." She caressed her waist and abdomen.
As soon as he finished speaking, the waiter took the square pot and placed it on the oven. The fragrant roasted catfish was ready.
Xue Yuantong quickly sat upright, picked up the kuaizi and started eating.
Jiang Ning picked up the kuaizi and said, "It's done. Let's eat."
Hearing this, Xue Chuchu moved quickly.
Several more guests arrived nearby, namely Dong Qingfeng, Chen Qian, Yu Wen, Jiang Yanan, Shen Qing'e, and four strange men and women.
Xue Chuchu recognized one of the girls, her deskmate Mu Ying. The two had a good relationship and had watched the opening ceremony of the second phase of Blue Horse Mall together.
As for the other two boys, the one wearing brand-name clothes and a watch is Jin Yuanhang in the class, and the other one wearing thick glasses is Tao Zhi.
Dong Qingfeng extended a gentlemanly invitation to the last girl: "Let's come together. I've been to this store several times. The taste is relatively good in the urban area."
"We have more people, so we can order a few more kinds of fish to try the taste." He found an excuse.
The girl in front of her looks pretty. Her light blue suspender skirt is full of French style and paired with a white lace top, which gives her an inexplicable sense of nobility.
From Dong Qingfeng's perspective, it is easy to judge that her family conditions are definitely not bad and she has been rich since she was a child.
Yao Yiyao glanced at the outdoor table with slight disgust and frowned slightly:
"Are you sure it tastes good?"
Dong Qingfeng showed a gentleman-like smile, elegant and straightforward: "With my personality, I swear to God."
Jin Yuanhang was a popular figure in No. 2 Middle School. With his connections, he not only invited Yao Yiyao, who had business dealings with his family, but also called Mu Ying out along the way.
As a result, this thing suddenly appeared?
"Tao Zhi, what do you think?" he asked.
Tao Zhi said: "I am free to do so."
"Okay, let's go together." Jin Yuanhang did not object.
So Dong Qingfeng called the boss. The boss knew Dong Qingfeng and immediately greeted him warmly, "Qingfeng comes to eat fish?"
Dong Qingfeng said skillfully: "Uncle, let's share a table."
He took a few girls to pick fish, as if he were a leader.
What does it mean to make Jin Yuanhang, who usually acts as the eldest brother, feel uncomfortable?
Originally, he made an appointment with a girl to go to the night market today, and he felt quite happy. However, Mu Ying met a good sister on the road and got together, and Yao Yiyao also became familiar with another good-looking girl.
As a result, Jin Yuanhang became a loner.
Now seeing that boy's pride again, Jin Yuanhang was depressed.
She's obviously the girl I brought here, but why does she act like she's the one you brought?
But for a while, Jin Yuanhang couldn't resist, so he could only stay where he was, playing with the famous watch on his wrist.
Soon, Dong Qingfeng came back. He counted and said: "A two-pound snakeheaded fish is paired with four Wangya fish. Another four-pound golden treasure fish comes. The other side dishes are saliva chicken, boiled shrimp, and sweet-scented osmanthus lotus root. I've served them."
It’s quite a lot, but if it’s not enough, let’s add more.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Yuanhang said calmly: "Thank you for your hard work. I'll treat you to this meal today."
The words he spoke were as if he was sending a servant away.
Dong Qingfeng's authority was frustrated. He gritted his teeth and said generously: "I am the host, I invite you!"
With the pocket money he had on hand, he would probably have to spend a lot of blood.
Then, the two got into an argument over who was treating the guests, and the more they talked, the more they talked. Jiang Yanan and Shen Qing'e looked at each other in confusion.
Yao Yiyao carefully wiped the stool, sat up, crossed her legs, and said, "Why don't you do rock-paper-scissors?"
Dong Qingfeng stopped arguing immediately. He regained his composure and gracefully flicked his T-shirt collar:
"Sorry, I'm just kidding."
He stretched out his hand and said to Jin Yuanhang with a Western invitation gesture: "Please!"
"Rock, scissors...paper!" the gesture began.
Three seconds later.
Dong Qingfeng won the right to pay, and his pride could hardly be concealed. He showed the attitude of a winner:
"Accepted."
Unknowingly, Jin Yuanhang's momentum was suppressed.
…
the other side.
Xue Yuantong was confused: "They are obviously not familiar with each other, so why are they still grabbing the bill? Shouldn't they be divided equally?"
Jiang Ning: "This is an adult's world."
Xue Yuantong suddenly felt that he was looked down upon, "You mean I'm young?"
"No," he said.
"Hmph, do you dare to compare with who eats more? Whoever eats less is younger!" Xue Yuantong was aggressive.
Xue Chuchu, the bystander, was speechless. Tongtong had just said that people were arguing, and now she was arguing with Jiang Ning about who could eat more.
Are there differences in levels of childishness?
Dong Qingfeng's two-in-one table was not far from Jiang Ning's side, so several people could not help but look around.
Mu Ying saw Xue Chuchu and waved, and Xue Chuchu smiled back.
Shen Qing'e said nothing, but she looked more at the extremely beautiful girl next to Jiang Ning.
Yao Yiyao also noticed Jiang Ning. She had met Jiang Ning when she had dinner at Jiang Junlong's house. Her impression of this man was that the watermelon he brought was very, very delicious.
After eating that amazing piece of watermelon, all the watermelons this summer were pale in color.
After recalling the delicious food, Yao Yiyao couldn't help but ask Shen Qing'e: "Has he been to your house recently?"
She asked a little cryptically, without naming who it was, but Shen Qing'e actually answered: "I haven't been here for a while."
"Oh, okay." Yao Yiyao stopped asking and shook her sandals.
Jin Yuanhang noticed Xue Chuchu and Jiang Ning over there.
He had a vague impression that in the Blue Horse Shopping Mall, he proposed that Mu Ying and Xue Chuchu catch the baby. He wanted to show off his power, but failed miserably.
In the end, Jiang Ning caught many dolls, and Jin Yuanhang suffered a setback that day.
After returning home, he bought a claw machine and worked hard to practice his claw catching skills. Now, his skills have reached the peak, but the little dissatisfaction he had at the beginning has been eliminated.
Because, he and Jiang Ning are no longer in the same realm.
"Xue Chuchu is actually here." Jin Yuanhang was surprised.
Shen Qing'e suddenly asked: "Who is Xue Chuchu?"
"We are in the same class," Mu Ying said.
Shen Qing'e originally wanted to ask a few more questions, but then the boss came over.
During the dinner.
Dong Qingfeng and Jin Yuanhang chatted and laughed happily, as if they were knowledgeable about astronomy and geography. On the contrary, Chen Qian and Tao Zhi kept eating fish in silence.
Dong Qingfeng helped pour water, scald and wash dishes, adjusted the positions of various dishes, and took care of every girl equally:
"Yanan, I know you like coriander. Come on, I asked the boss to cut some."
"Qing'e, try the osmanthus and lotus root, it's guaranteed to be soft and glutinous."
"Mu Ying, can't you drink it cold? I asked the boss to cook red date and peanut soup specially for you."
"Yao Yao, does Wang Ya's cooked fish suit your taste?"
He asked questions one by one with a caring attitude that warmed all the girls.
Jin Yuanhang was stunned for a moment, and he finally had a preliminary impression of Dong Qingfeng.
I can't say what's wrong, but something is wrong.
The content of high school students’ chats is all kinds of weird, but there are always some unavoidable points, such as academic studies.
Jin Yuanhang tidied up his appearance and talked about his studies. He was not bragging. As a member of the Qingbei Class of Yuzhou No. 2 Middle School, among the tens of thousands of students in the same class in the entire city, he was well deserved to be among the top 100.
After revealing his identity as No. 2 Middle School, Jin Yuanhang received several surprised looks.
Especially that girl named Jiang Yanan, with amazingly white skin.
Although No. 2 Middle School is good, it is difficult for pretty girls to overpower other schools. A fair-haired, pretty girl like Jiang Yanan will definitely be popular in No. 2 Middle School.
Dong Qingfeng was crushed and couldn't express his pain.
In terms of performance, even if he works as hard as Chen Qian, he may still be slightly inferior to Jin Yuanhang.
But it is not that No. 4 Middle School has no place to win. Dong Qingfeng said: "We still have one week of final exams and we will have a holiday after the exams."
Speaking of this, No. 2 Middle School is very envious. They are a top middle school and it is good to have a month off during the summer vacation.
Jiang Yanan said anxiously: "The results of the final exam will determine the quality of my summer vacation. I wonder if the math paper is difficult?"
Yu Wen, "Fatty Gao said before that he was responsible for publishing the test papers."
Jiang Yanan: "That's it. I'm afraid I won't pass."
She looked distressed.
Dong Qingfeng took a sip of Coke and said with relief: "It doesn't matter, if you want, I can write your name in the exam."
Jiang Yanan was warmed.
Chen Qian finally spoke: "Is mathematics difficult? Let my grandma take the test and pass casually."
Jiang Yanan's expression changed.
Jin Yuanhang was amused, but he didn't understand that there could be such an arrogant person in the Fourth Middle School in a place of exile.
He retorted: "Brother, are you kidding? Your grandma is in her seventies, isn't she?"
Chen Qian: "My grandma is a retired high school mathematics teacher."
…
After the meal, Jiang Ning paid the bill. The three of them only spent a hundred yuan in total.
Xue Yuantong was doing bookkeeping again. He spent 100 yuan and still made more than 700 yuan.
From the south entrance of Hongxing Street, go back north, where mountain bikes and electric scooters are still parked.
After walking a few steps, I came across a pet stall. The stall owner's clothes were of an old style and had become discolored after being washed. He rubbed his big, rough hands.
The poor little rabbit was trapped in a cage with only a small space to move around.
Xue Yuantong squatted in front of the cage and stared at the little rabbit.
She said sadly: "Chuchu, it has no freedom."
"Do you want to buy it and eat it back?" Xue Chuchu got straight to the point.
Xue Yuantong's sadness disappeared by 30% in an instant. She found that Chu Chu had changed and no longer had a childlike innocence!
"I just want him to meet his parents." Xue Yuantong is a kind child.
The stall owner dressed as an old farmer next to him said: "It's for sale, the old rabbit is selling it, it's sold to the barbecue stall."
Xue Yuantong looked in the direction he pointed and saw a luminous sign on the edge of the barbecue stall, which read "Roast whole rabbit, half 30, one 50."
The old farmer suggested: "Little girl, give me 10 yuan, and I will send the rabbit to the roasting stall to keep its family together."
Xue Yuantong left this cruel place.
On the way back, she found a candy stall on the roadside, so she asked Chuchu to send Jiang Ning away.
The female boss reminded: "The candy you got is for teasing. It's so sour on the outside. It's so sour that you want to spit it out, but when it melts a little, it's very sweet on the inside."
Xue Yuantong said he understood. In junior high school, it was popular in the class that classmates tricked each other into eating.
I was lucky enough to meet her tonight, which opened up her dusty memory.
'It's just you!'
Xue Yuantong spent two yuan and bought a handful of candies. She specially packed sour candies and non-sour candies separately.
on the way home.
Xue Yuantong was sitting in the back seat, holding the candies, feeling smug in her heart. She watched her brutally torture Jiang Ning tonight, letting him do what she wanted all day long.
If the tiger doesn't show off its power, it will treat her as a sick cat!
She poked Jiang Ning's back and said seriously: "Jiang Ning, you performed very well today. Chu Chu and I are very satisfied."
"Take some candy, please."
As she spoke, she took out a candy from her right pocket and handed it to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning holds the candy in her hand and rides the bicycle with one hand, but refuses to eat.
Then I thought about it, Chu Chu was the most reliable person when buying candies.
Therefore, she was definitely not exposed and there was no need to worry at all.
"I gave you candy, why don't you eat it?" She said innocently and brightly.
Jiang Ning sneered in his heart, he had already discovered Xue Yuantong's plan.
"You eat first," he said.
Xue Yuantong felt that she was being questioned and was very unhappy, "If you don't know a good heart, just eat it!"
She took out a non-sour candy from her left pocket, without looking at it, tore open the package and quickly stuffed it into her mouth.
As soon as she ate the candy, Xue Yuantong tasted the sweetness, but the next moment, the overwhelming sour smell hit her from all directions, making her tremble with sourness.
She hurriedly vomited it up, but the sour smell could not be eliminated in a short time, and she was so uncomfortable that she could not speak.
At this moment, Jiang Ning stuffed another sweet candy into her little mouth, and Xue Yuantong was so frightened that she just wanted to scream.
A sweetness melted in the mouth, washing away the previous sourness.
…
late at night.
Xue Yuantong slipped out of Jiang Ning's room and returned to his room in the dark night.
Mom told her not to stay up late at night and to go out from Jiang Ning's house at 12 o'clock. Xue Yuantong has always followed this strictly.
She took Jiang Ning's iPad home and played with it on the soft quilt. Her room was very cool and she didn't need a mat.
Aunt Gu opened the door, saw her daughter's appearance, and told her, "Stop playing and go to bed. Only by sleeping more can you grow taller."
Xue Yuantong pursed her lips because her mother thought she was short.
Obviously Jiang Ning doesn't dislike her. Jiang Ning is tall enough anyway. Why is she so tall?
"Go to sleep." Xue Yuantong put down his iPad.
She grabbed the quilt, rolled over, and hid herself in the quilt.
Aunt Gu closed the door with satisfaction.
Xue Yuantong raised his ears and listened for a while. Half a minute later, a hand reached out from the quilt and snatched the iPad away.
She hides under the quilt and plays games.
At one o'clock in the morning, Xue Yuantong became happier and happier as he played. He was in high spirits and couldn't stop at all.
Suddenly, the door opened. Aunt Gu looked at the light emitted by the quilt and lectured her daughter: "Aren't you asleep? Why are you still playing with your mobile phone? You will lie to me. You have become more capable, haven't you?"
Xue Yuantong never expected that her mother would launch a sneak attack in the middle of the night!
In panic, Xue Yuantong's mind went blank.
But her wisdom was extraordinary and she came up with a brilliant idea:
"Mom, you opened the door too loudly and woke me up. I thought it was morning. I was looking at the time on my tablet."
After finishing speaking, Xue Yuantong almost believed it. She was so smart, she was a peerless genius!
Aunt Gu: "That's nonsense. Jiang Ning said you were asleep and setting off firecrackers wouldn't wake you up!"
