Chapter 116 Treating guests to dinner
Chapter 116 Treating guests to dinner
Shen Nian walked in front, and Qin Yiche walked behind her. The two walked out of the classroom one after the other, and they ran into Lin Ling, who had come to find Shen Nian.
"Niannian, why are you so late today? I think Professor Lu has already left."
Lin Ling rushed over to Shen Nian, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her forward, casually asking a question. She saw Qin Yiche, but didn't realize he was with Shen Nian.
She whispered excitedly to Shen Nian, "Nian Nian, Nian Nian, there's a handsome guy behind you! He's so handsome! When did such a handsome guy come to your class? I've been studying next to you for almost a semester, and I still haven't discovered this kind of gem!"
Shen Nian remembered that Qin Yiche was still following behind her, and stopped, intending to introduce him to Lin Ling.
Lin Ling kept pulling her forward, "Don't stop, don't stop, he's following us. Is the handsome guy also going to the cafeteria? Oh my god, we're having a lucky day with the ladies. We'll be sitting at the same table as the handsome guy later."
"You..." Shen Nian wanted to interrupt Lin Ling, but she didn't give her the chance.
"Although he's not as mature and steady as your uncle, he's young, look how tender his face is." Lin Ling said softly while secretly glancing behind her, looking shy.
Shen Nian immediately retorted when she heard her mention Mo Ze, "The uncle doesn't look old at all!"
"Oh dear, I wasn't saying your husband looks old. It's a fact that he's old, but you're still defending him."
Lin Ling and Shen Nian walked hand in hand to the entrance of the cafeteria in Area B of University A. Lin Ling was surprised to find that the handsome guy behind them had also come to the cafeteria, and she was now completely excited.
"Niannian, Niannian, look! That handsome guy is in the cafeteria too! We might have a chance to sit at the same table and eat together!" Lin Ling grabbed Shen Nian's arm and swayed it in her ear as she called out.
Shen Nian stopped at the entrance of the cafeteria and turned to look at Qin Yiche, who was not far from them, slowly walking towards them.
Lin Ling's eyes sparkled with desire as she gripped Shen Nian's wrist tightly and whispered, "He's coming, he's coming, he's walking towards us."
Qin Yiche stopped in front of them, smiling gentlemanly, "The cafeteria at University A is quite nice; I can smell the food from this far away."
Lin Ling was still basking in the excitement of the handsome guy striking up a conversation with them when she suddenly heard Shen Nian reply, "How can it compare to the Western food you ate abroad?"
Lin Ling was stunned for a moment. She looked at Shen Nian and then at Qin Yiche, her eyes darting back and forth several times before she asked.
"You... know each other?"
"That's right, otherwise why would I keep following you guys?" Qin Yiche gave Lin Ling a handsome and charming smile. Lin Ling blushed and lowered her head, not daring to meet his gaze.
Shen Nian pulled Lin Ling into the cafeteria without speaking to Qin Yiche.
Qin Yiche, with his long strides, followed along.
After learning that Qin Yiche and Shen Nian knew each other, Lin Ling immediately quieted down, maintaining a ladylike demeanor throughout and not speaking loudly again.
The cafeteria they went to was in Zone B, where you could order stir-fries; it was considered a relatively luxurious cafeteria.
Since Shen Nian was treating someone to dinner, she ordered a few dishes.
At the table for four, Shen Nian and Lin Ling sat on one side, while Qin Yiche sat opposite them.
Lin Ling kept her head down the whole time, quietly tugging at the hem of Shen Nian's clothes, "Niannian, how did you two meet?"
"High school classmates."
"Why didn't you tell me you had such a handsome classmate in high school!"
Actually, we're not that close.
The two whispered for a while, and then the food was served.
For three people, four dishes and a soup, Shen Nian felt she was being quite generous.
Even Lin Ling whispered in her ear that she had suffered a major hemorrhage today.
Shen Nian and Lin Ling didn't eat much. Shen Nian had eaten a full breakfast and wasn't very hungry, while Lin Ling was too reserved to show her appetite in front of Qin Yiche.
In the end, Qin Yiche ate the most, praising as he ate, "A University is really different. Even the food in the cafeteria is much tastier. I wish I had studied at A University back then."
Shen Nian's lips twitched involuntarily.
Haha~
"Where do you study?" Lin Ling asked.
Qin Yiche put down his bowl and began to explain seriously, "I went abroad in my senior year of high school to study in the United States. After getting into Harvard, I studied there for two years, but I found it boring. So, in my junior year, I transferred back to Hong Kong to continue my studies. Now, like you, I'm a senior and will graduate soon."
Lin Ling's smile also became somewhat stiff. She chuckled foolishly a few times, then turned to look at Shen Nian.
Shen Nian gave her a look that said, "Look, you're rich!"
Lin Ling felt the gap between the rich and the poor, so she simply stopped pretending. She had been holding back from not eating enough, and there was still a bowl of seaweed and pork rib soup left. Just as Qin Yiche was about to serve it, she took it directly to her and scooped it all into her bowl.
"Excuse me, ladies first. Qin has already eaten quite a bit, so I'll leave this bowl to me." After saying that, she lowered her head and drank without any regard for her image.
Qin Yiche paused for a moment, his hand hovering in mid-air, then smiled at Lin Ling's inexplicable hostility. "Okay, ladies first."
Then she went on to talk about her past, "When I was there, I worked at a Chinese restaurant. The pork rib soup there was the best. A few of us would often share the last bit of soup before the restaurant closed. At that time, I thought it was the most delicious thing in the world."
Lin Ling paused in her act of drinking soup.
work to earn a living?
Isn't he a rich young master from a wealthy family?
"You're still working at a restaurant?" Lin Ling asked, looking up.
Qin Yiche feigned pitifulness and said, "Yes, back then we didn't have much living expenses, so we had to earn it ourselves."
It seems really tragic.
Lin Ling looked at the half-full bowl of soup in her bowl, unsure whether she should give it to the other person; her expression was extremely conflicted.
Qin Yiche suddenly burst into laughter, "You actually believed it?"
After realizing she had been tricked, Lin Ling became somewhat embarrassed and angry, glaring at Qin Yiche.
Qin Yiche, knowing when to stop, immediately offered to treat Shen Nian and Lin Ling to milk tea.
He asked Shen Nian, "What kind of milk tea would you like to drink?"
Shen Nian kept her head down looking at her phone while Lin Ling and Qin Yiche were interacting, and didn't pay attention to what the two were saying.
She sent Moze a WeChat message, asking if he had eaten lunch yet.
Moze sent a pitiful emoji, saying that he had eaten takeout and even sent a picture.
A simple bowl of fried noodles is indeed quite pitiful.
Then he successfully made Shen Nian laugh.
This was the first time she had ever seen Moze feign helplessness.
I proactively sent a hug emoji.
Lin Ling gently nudged her shoulder. "Niannian, hurry up and tell us what you want to drink. Someone's treating, so we need to at least get half of our lunch money back."
Shen Nian, still smiling from chatting with Mo Ze, casually asked for bubble tea.
Lin Ling wants to drink fruit tea.
There was a milk tea shop right next to the cafeteria. Qin Yiche got up to buy milk tea and glanced at Shen Nian before leaving.
Shen Nian kept her head down, replying to WeChat messages, and didn't even glance at him.
