An earthquake caused Jiang Xia, who had just written his name on a divorce agreement, to be reborn into a parallel world. Just as he planned to make up for his past regrets, he suddenly discovered ...
Together with other senior students who were having lunch, the three of them soon spotted the Zijingyuan Restaurant, which was located behind Building 6.
The cafeteria looks very big from the outside, with four floors. Probably because school hasn't officially started yet, there weren't many people eating there at the moment.
The three who had arrived at the restaurant earlier had already gotten their food and found a corner to eat while waiting for Jiang Xia, and also to see what his girlfriend looked like.
"They're here, they're here." Zhou Zijian glanced at the restaurant entrance. Jiang Xia walked ahead, leading the two girls into the restaurant.
The girl on the left is petite, wearing canvas shoes and faded jeans, and a loose T-shirt with an unknown logo. She has her head slightly lowered, and her thick bangs hang down, obscuring her face.
The other girl was relatively taller. She wore white sneakers with loose black wide-leg pants and a light white shirt. The slightly cinched waist of the pants made her look tall and slim, with a perfect figure.
Looking again at her exquisite features, her looks are perfect.
"Guess which one is Brother Jiang's girlfriend?" Zhou Zijian whispered.
Su Qing won't participate in this game. Firstly, he knows the person, and secondly, he doesn't have the habit of gossiping behind people's backs.
"It should be the one on the left, right?" Zhao Ning said uncertainly.
Although he felt that the girl looked too ordinary and was not a good match for Jiang Xia, the girl next to him was stunning. She looked like a school beauty goddess. Would a girl like that really have a boyfriend?
“I think so too. You see, she kept her head down the whole time. She must be shy because she thinks she’ll see us,” Zhou Zijian said.
Zhao Ning nodded; this analysis was reasonable.
Jiang Xia nodded to her roommates, then turned and whispered to Lin Yanwan, "You know Su Ma, the other two boys are both computer science students. The one on the left is called Zhao Ning, and the one on the right is called Zhou Zijian."
"Su Ma? Isn't his name Su Qing?" Lin Yanwan asked in confusion.
"Well, I found that he is very caring and has a strong motherly quality, which makes him fully deserving of the title 'Mom'."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yanwan's expression turned strange. What kind of nonsensical nicknames were these?
Tang Qiuting glanced at Sister Yanwan out of the corner of her eye and suddenly realized that she also had a strong motherly quality. Could it be that she should call Sister Yanwan "Aunt Lin"?
No, no, children from the mountains can take good care of themselves.
Meanwhile, watching Jiang Xia intimately chatting with that goddess with both a stunning figure and beautiful face, while leaving the girl next to him aside, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide, forgetting to chew the rice he had just been fed.
"Brother Su, don't tell me that Brother Jiang's girlfriend is that really good-looking one."
Su Qing glanced back and nodded silently. In his eyes, Lin Yanwan was indeed very beautiful; even he had rarely seen anyone with such high looks.
"Wow! No wonder he's Brother Jiang, he's amazing! He actually managed to win over a goddess like that!" Zhou Zijian exclaimed enviously.
"Brother Jiang, you are a role model for us all!" Zhao Ning exclaimed.
If nothing unexpected happens, she will definitely have a place among this year's freshman campus beauties.
However, the first day of freshman registration already had someone already taken.
It must be said that this is a very sad story for others.
The three of them took their trays and first looked around the food window to see what dishes were available. Tang Qiuting followed behind Lin Yanwan without saying a word.
Admittedly, almost all the dishes looked delicious, but she instinctively hesitated when she saw the slightly expensive prices.
A plate of fried noodles costs 3 yuan! Prices in big cities are really expensive.
She has to pay tuition and accommodation fees in her savings account, and there won't be much money left after that, so she has to be frugal in her daily life.
"Qiu Ting, what do you want to eat?" Lin Yanwan asked her softly.
"I...I'll take another look." Tang Qiuting's gaze darted away slightly. "Sister Yanwan, I'm not that hungry right now. You...you go get your food first."
Jiang Xia saw this and knew very well that the young girl probably didn't have much money and didn't dare to spend it recklessly.
But she also seems like the kind of person who is very strong-willed, and if you don't get along with her properly, you might hurt her self-esteem.
"Eat without worry, this meal is on me." Lin Yanwan held her calloused little hand and sighed softly in her heart.
This kid will probably be helping with farm work this summer.
"No...no need, Sister Yanwan, I have money." Tang Qiuting bit her lip and gently shook her head.
"Since you're already calling me Sister Yanwan, don't be so polite with me. I'm very happy to know you, so please give me face, Qiuting," Lin Yanwan said earnestly.
"I...I..."
The girl from the mountains clenched her fingers tightly, unsure how to answer. If she refused directly, wouldn't that be disrespecting Sister Yanwan?
But her grandmother always told her that no matter how poor a person is, they should never be poor in spirit. Her family may not have money, but they shouldn't accept charity from others without a reason.
What should we do? What should she do?!
Seeing her biting her lip and looking at her helplessly, Lin Yanwan knew that she might have touched a nerve and subconsciously felt a little apologetic.
After all, children from impoverished mountain areas who are able to get into Tsinghua University all have their own backbone.
He said softly, "Qiu Ting, the tangerines Grandma grows are delicious. I didn't bring any local specialties, so let's consider this meal a gift exchange between us, okay?"
Looking into her sincere eyes, Tang Qiuting finally nodded gently: "Thank you, Sister Yanwan."
Her gaze lingered on the vegetarian dishes for a long time before she finally chose a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Including rice, it only cost her 1.5 yuan, and the soup was free, which was enough to make her very full.
Lin Yanwan and Jiang Xia exchanged a glance, both seeing a deep sense of helplessness.
To be honest, the prices in Tsinghua University's cafeteria are already super cheap; a meat and vegetable combo only costs four yuan, but Tang Qiuting didn't dare to order it.
So, Lin Yanwan quietly ordered a cheap combination of meat and vegetables.
Jiang Xia glanced at the portion sizes and figured it was enough for two people: "Maybe I shouldn't order anything?"
"Order something else yourself. Qiu Ting and I will eat this dish," Lin Yanwan said with a light snort.
Jiang Xia's lips twitched slightly, and he decisively ordered a 3-yuan fried noodle dish, which contained eggs, green vegetables, and tomatoes, and looked quite appetizing.
"Then don't eat mine."
"If you don't want to eat, then don't. Qiu Ting has eggs and tomatoes too. I can eat hers, right, Qiu Ting?"
Tang Qiuting blushed slightly.
"Okay, Sister Yanwan, please eat whatever you like."
