Chapter 342

"The movie was so good!"

Even after the movie ended and the final cast and crew list was displayed, Ah-Qiang still felt unsatisfied and as if he hadn't seen enough.

This was Ah-Qiang's first time watching a movie, and the impact and shock on him were immense.

"If I had known the movie was this good, Shuangyan, I should have taken you to see it earlier," Aqiang said regretfully.

I've seen young people in vocational schools who like to waste money on dates at the movies. Ah Qiang thinks it's much better to buy their girlfriends a decent gift or take them out for a nice meal. That would be much more practical.

Unexpectedly, seeing his first movie at Ji Wanmei's place today had such a profound impact on A-Qiang.

Ah Qiang then began to regret that he and Zhu Shuangyan had missed so many wonderful moments.

This was also Zhu Shuangyan's first time watching a movie.

Although as a girl I'm not particularly fond of Hong Kong-style gangster gunfight movies, I was still amazed by the atmosphere and the fresh world that was everywhere in the film.

Seeing that the two of them were watching so intently, Ji Wanmei forgot to drink the soda she had bought for them.

At times like these, Ji Wanmei inevitably thinks of Lei Tingjun.

To be honest, although she and Lei Tingjun went to Guangzhou together to purchase the goods, they haven't actually watched a movie together yet.

I wonder how he is doing now.

Not wanting A-Qiang and Zhu Shuangyan to know their current situation, Ji Wanmei always casually brushed it off whenever they mentioned Lei Tingjun.

But she knew better than anyone that although she seemed nonchalant on the surface, she had never truly let go of it.

After watching the movie, Ji Wanmei said, "Would you like to visit our school? It's a holiday today, so you don't need a gate card. I can take you inside for a look around."

Zhu Shuangyan immediately expressed her interest: "Okay, okay."

The admission score requirements for East China University are very high. Zhu Shuangyan missed the cutoff score by just 20 or 30 points and missed the chance to attend this prestigious university in the provincial capital. As a last resort, she chose a vocational school in Pingdong City.

If she had done better on the exam, she might have been able to get into this university that countless students dream of.

Now, being able to visit East China University under Ji Wanmei's guidance can be considered as fulfilling one of Zhu Shuangyan's dreams.

They went to the school, walked around the East China University of Science and Technology's playground, and visited the library, science and technology building, and exhibition hall. They ate lunch at the school cafeteria.

After these few days, the school cafeteria should stop serving food.

Zhu Shuangyan exclaimed, "The school is better, it really makes a difference. I feel like the food here is even better than at other schools."

"Really? I didn't notice anything different." A-Qiang didn't think the food in the university cafeteria was any different. It wasn't even as good as the big pot dishes cooked by the master chef at their construction site. Those were oily and filling.

However, A-Qiang was too embarrassed to say this in front of Ji Wanmei.

In the afternoon, Ji Wanmei took them around Huadong City again.

There is a history museum in East China that displays many historical artifacts, which are of great value and significance.

Ji Wanmei had wanted to go for a long time, but she hadn't found an opportunity to go. Either she couldn't make an appointment with anyone, or she didn't have the time.

It just so happened that Zhu Shuangyan and Aqiang came over during the holiday, and Ji Wanmei didn't have anything to do either, so the three of them went to see the history museum together.

That evening, the three of them found a small restaurant, ordered some local street food and some grilled meat skewers, and then each of them ordered a bottle of beer to enjoy with the skewers.

Ji Wanmei can't hold her liquor; she can only manage one bottle. If she drinks too much, she gets drunk and her face turns red and she becomes confused.

However, Ji Wanmei noticed that Zhu Shuangyan seemed to have a pretty good alcohol tolerance. After finishing one bottle, she asked Aqiang to open another one for her, and she didn't seem drunk at all.

However, A-Qiang still didn't want her to drink too much, so he set a rule for her: "Two bottles at most, and that's it."

Zhu Shuangyan smiled, pursing her lips: "I know, I won't get drunk. I was just happy to see Wanmei today. It's fine to have a few drinks when meeting friends. I wouldn't be stupid enough to drink with people I don't know well. I've always said I don't drink."

Ji Wanmei chuckled: "That's right, you did the right thing."

After having dinner at a night market food stall, Ji Wanmei took them to a guesthouse not far from the school, where Ji Wanmei had provided the rooms.

There was only one room in the small attic, which wasn't enough for the two of them, so we had to find them a guesthouse.

However, when booking the room, Ji Wanmei still asked Zhu Shuangyan separately, "Should we get one room for the two of you or two rooms?"

Zhu Shuangyan's face immediately turned red. Her face wasn't even this red when she was drinking earlier. She gave Ji Wanmei a reproachful look and said, "Don't joke with me like that. He and I aren't married yet, so of course we'll stay in separate rooms."

“Okay, I respect your decision.” Ji Wanmei then booked two rooms for the two of them.

After everything was arranged, Ji Wanmei returned to the video store.

When I got back, it was past 8 p.m., and the part-time shop assistant had already closed up shop and gone home.

Ji Wanmei will stay in the attic tonight and go back to the school dormitory tomorrow morning to pack her things. Then she will go back to Pingquan County with Aqiang and the others.

However, when Ji Wanmei thought about returning to Pingquan County, she no longer felt the same longing she used to have for going home.

The thought of going back to see her father made Ji Wanmei feel suffocated and incredibly depressed.
