After a while, a fragrant stir-fried winter melon was ready. Chen Dong found some Chinese cabbage from the refrigerator and cooked a bowl of steaming hot cabbage soup.

Wang Yitong brought the prepared food to the dining table, then gently knocked on Huang's door and called out softly, "Brother Huang, come out for dinner."

Upon hearing the voice, Ah Huang walked out of the room and came to the dining table. Looking at the three dishes and one soup on the table, he said with satisfaction, "Yitong, don't call me Senior Brother Huang anymore. It sounds awkward. Just call me Ah Huang like Chen Dong does. I'm used to him calling me that. This meal today is really sumptuous!"

Ah Huang, whose real name is Huang Yawei, was a roommate of Chen Dong in college and they had a very close relationship.

Chen Dong took out the Sprite and beer he had bought in the afternoon from his shopping bag, and then took out a few paper cups. He poured a glass of Sprite for Wang Yitong and a glass of beer for Ah Huang and himself.

"Come, let's raise our glasses to welcome Yitong to Chengdu and welcome Yitong to be our roommate! I hope Yitong can find a satisfactory job as soon as possible." Chen Dong suggested with a smile.

Wang Yitong picked up the paper cup and said gratefully, "Thank you, Brother Chen and Brother Huang, for your help. I have a warm home in Chengdu. Thank you also for taking care of me in college and often lending me your computer."

Ah Huang smiled heartily and said, "We are all friends, don't be so polite! It is a rare fate that we can meet in Chengdu and become roommates! Let's drink this glass!" The three of them clinked their glasses and drank it all in one gulp. The laughter and conversation intertwined and filled the entire room.

Wang Yitong picked up a piece of the dish cooked by Chen Dong, put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully, with a satisfied smile on his face. He praised: "Brother Chen, your cooking skills are superb. This dish tastes great!" Chen Dong was so happy to hear Wang Yitong's praise that he couldn't stop smiling. He patted his chest and said: "I will take care of all your meals from now on!"

Ah Huang saw Chen Dong's smug look and couldn't help but wink at him with a teasing look in his eyes. Chen Dong immediately understood what Ah Huang meant. He glared at Ah Huang, then picked up some chili peppers and put them in Ah Huang's bowl, saying in a vicious tone, "Come on, eat more chili peppers. I don't think it will make you scream!"

Wang Yitong put down his chopsticks and said with a smile, "Brother Chen, I rarely have the opportunity to cook at home. It's usually my dad who cooks. But I think cooking isn't too difficult. Look, wasn't the smashed cucumber I made today very successful? I think I do have some talent for cooking. When I have free time in the future, I can also try cooking. I want to join you and Ah Huang's dinner, and I will also pay for the food. By the way, do the other alumni usually eat out? Do we need to prepare meals for them in the future?"

Chen Dong took a sip of beer and replied, "No need to prepare anything for them. Sometimes they eat out, and sometimes they buy groceries and cook. It's mainly because everyone's off-get off work hours are different, so it's hard to coordinate."

After dinner, Ah Huang suggested that Chen Dong take Wang Yitong out for a walk to familiarize herself with the surrounding environment and route, and he took the initiative to take on the task of washing dishes.

Chen Dong led Wang Yitong out of the alley, pointing at the buildings outside as they walked. He introduced them, "Look, that's the Hualian Shopping Mall over there. Across the street, that towering thing is the TV Tower. At 339 meters, it's the tallest tower in western China. And look at the river next to it, that's the Funan River." Wang Yitong looked at the familiar scene, feeling a surge of emotion. She couldn't help but mutter to herself, "I didn't know the community was so close to here."

"Brother Chen, I am very familiar with this place. I have been here before. This is Mengzhuiwan Street, right?" Wang Yitong's eyes revealed a hint of reminiscence.

When Chen Dong heard Wang Yitong's words, he suddenly realized that she might have been here with her ex-boyfriend, and a trace of guilt welled up in his heart. He quickly changed the subject and said, "Yitong, let's not sit here in a daze. Let's go to the supermarket and see if there's anything you need to buy." As he said that, he gently pushed Wang Yitong's shoulder, and the two walked towards the supermarket together.

Before coming to Chengdu, Wang Yitong's father transferred 2,000 yuan to her, her uncle transferred 3,000 yuan, her uncle transferred 1,000 yuan, and her two aunts each transferred 1,000 yuan. With this money, Wang Yitong could get by for a while, at least.

After entering the supermarket, Wang Yitong picked out a small electric fan to prepare for the upcoming hot summer. She also picked out a cool mat so that she could sleep more comfortably at night. In addition, she also bought some daily necessities such as sanitary napkins, toothbrushes, toothpaste, tissues, mosquito coils, and toilet water. Looking at the full shopping cart, Wang Yitong said to Chen Dong a little embarrassedly, "Brother Chen, I'm so sorry to have you be my porter."

"Why are you so polite to me? This little thing is nothing to me. Let's go back quickly. You can use your free time to submit your resume and look for a job." Chen Dong replied with a smile.
