The Yellow Millet Dream

Huang Yaya was woken up by Xu Meng. She looked at the time and it was five o'clock in the evening.

In order to celebrate the successful completion of the final exams and the upcoming summer vacation, their dormitory decided to have a dinner together. This was also the last dinner together for their dormitory this year. The next time they would have a dinner together would be in the new year.

The four of us discussed it in the dormitory and decided to go to a barbecue stall near the school. One of life's greatest pleasures is drinking and eating barbecue. Of course, none of us were very good at drinking, so we opted for juice and barbecue.

There were many college students eating out at this time, and they waited for about twenty minutes before a table was available. The boss warmly invited them to sit down and handed them a greasy menu.

The four of them took turns looking at the menu and finally ordered sixteen beef skewers, eight lamb skewers, twenty pork skewers and pork belly, four pieces of grilled squid, a serving of grilled eggplant and a large portion of fried rice noodles, and also ordered a bottle of Orange Juice.

While waiting for the food, everyone chatted about the latest gossip. Xu Meng said, "Have you heard? xxx and yyy broke up."

"That's unlikely. They just recently appeared on a dating show together." Ning Yuanyuan said.

"I saw it too. Recently, many marketing accounts have said that they broke up." Shi Jiaojiao said.

"Ah? Why do all I see are scenes of them being sweet in variety shows?" Huang Yaya asked puzzled.

"It's said in the entertainment industry that it's very common for couples to appear on dating shows after breaking up! So many marketing accounts are saying they've broken up, it's definitely not groundless." Xu Meng's tone was full of determination.

Huang Yaya suddenly felt the stool beneath her shift slightly. A hand was pulling at her arm. She turned and saw a boy in a white down jacket getting up from the ground.

The boy looked at Huang Yaya in a panic and said sincerely, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I fell down just now and accidentally grabbed your arm in a panic. I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

She looked at the other person's expression, which was full of guilt. After all, this was an event of force majeure, so she replied generously: "It's okay, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, thank you." After saying that, the boy and his friend walked to the empty seat that had just been cleared at the back.

"Yaya, that guy is quite handsome! Do you think she fell on purpose to get your attention?" Shi Jiaojiao said in a low voice, holding back her laughter.

"Jiaojiao, think about the idol drama plot in your mind. This is a barbecue restaurant, and the man is wearing white clothes. How could he be so boring as to pretend to fall down?" Xu Meng analyzed it in detail.

"Are you okay? How about we change seats?" Ning Yuanyuan said to her with concern.

"It's fine."

Huang Yaya was sure she was fine, but she thought the man was incredible, having the audacity to wear white clothes to the barbecue restaurant. Everyone in their dormitory wore mostly gray-brown clothes.

After a while, the barbecue they ordered was served, and everyone continued to talk about the latest gossip in the entertainment industry while eating.

Soon the topic of gossip turned to Huang Yaya, because the man had just run out at some point, and when he came back, he handed a cup of milk tea to Huang Yaya. His face was slightly red as he said, "I'm sorry for what happened just now. This is an apology."

Huang Yaya looked at Shi Jiaojiao with a smile, and responded, "No need. You were careless too."

The boy did not return to his seat because of her refusal. Instead, he took out his phone and said a little embarrassedly, "I don't know if I damaged your clothes just now. Let's add WeChat first. If you find that your clothes are damaged, you can tell me and I will compensate you."

Such a nice and polite man is rare. Huang Yaya looked at her clothes and found nothing wrong with them, so she planned to refuse the other party's kindness.

At this time, Shi Jiaojiao next to him said, "Handsome guy, if you want to add her WeChat, contact us. If you buy us a cup of milk tea, we will tell you all her contact information."

Huang Yaya had been quite calm, believing the man to be polite and well-educated. But after Shi Jiaojiao's words, both she and the man felt a little embarrassed. If she refused again, wouldn't it be like telling him, "I don't like you."

The boy said in an awkward tone, "No, I just wanted to apologize. If you guys want milk tea, I'll go buy it now. What flavor do you want?"

Xu Meng, who was watching the show from the side, opened her eyes wide at this moment and murmured, "What a wonderful man! Yaya, just give in."

Does a cup of milk tea make a perfect man? Are the requirements for a good man so low nowadays? However, in order to continue eating skewers happily, Huang Yaya opened her WeChat QR code!

Under Huang Yaya's insistence on refusing, the man just said: "I don't like milk tea. If you don't like it, see which of your friends likes this taste."

When Shi Jiaojiao saw the man return to his seat, she picked up a beef skewer and said, "Yaya, there aren't many good men like you anymore."

Xu Meng nodded in agreement, and said with a somewhat sad tone, "Alas! You have no idea how outrageous the men I meet while playing games are. Some of them come up to me and ask if I want to go out with you. Some of them look at my skin and say that I am well-maintained by rich people! Some of them scold me when they hear I have a female voice, and some even ask how much it costs to play with me. There are really not many polite men like this."

After hearing Xu Meng's complaints, Huang Yaya finally understood why she was so irritable while playing games. Are polite boys who apologize so rare these days?

After returning to the dormitory, everyone took a shower and went to bed.

Huang Yaya was lying on the bed, opening a familiar reading app, planning to have a passionate reunion with the book "The Overbearing Prince Pushed Me Down" which she hadn't read for a long time. At this time, she saw a request message pop up. She clicked it and found that she had not yet accepted the boy's friend request.

"Hello!"

"Hello, I'm the boy who bumped into you at the barbecue restaurant."

There were two application messages in total. Huang Yaya directly clicked "Agree". After a while, the other party sent a message:

"I'm really sorry today. I'm Liu Fangyu from the Chemical Engineering Department of XXXX University."

The literature student's attention was on the other person's name. She sighed that there was actually someone with the character "枋" in his name.

The two of them started chatting casually, mainly because the other party was too enthusiastic, and Huang Yaya felt that it would be impolite if she didn't reply to the message.

Huang: Hello! It’s okay. I’m Huang Yaya from the Department of Literature.

Liu: Nice to meet you.

Huang: me too

Liu: Have you ever performed at the New Year’s Eve party?

Huang: Yes, how did you know?

Liu: Because I saw it live, you sang really well.

Huang: Actually, my singing is just average. You think it’s good because my friend sings well.

Liu: You are too modest. When do you plan to go home?

Huang: The day after tomorrow, what about you?

Liu: I’m going the day after tomorrow, and it’s so hard to get tickets.

Huang: Yes!

Liu: I forgot to ask, what flavor of milk tea do you like?

Huang Yaya felt so tired. Why did this man have so much to say? Her novel was still waiting for her approval.

She wanted to end this conversation quickly.

Huang: Anything except matcha is fine. I’m going to sleep.

Liu: Okay, sorry to bother you, good night.

Huang: Good night.

Liu: Moon
