After greeting them warmly, Chen Dong said to Wang Yitong, "Yitong, let's have dinner a little later tonight. Let's eat together after Zhang Ping comes back. We'll have braised beef with potatoes and pickled fish."
"Okay, I'm really exhausted today. I'm going to go back and rest for a bit." Wang Yitong dragged her exhausted body back to her room and collapsed onto the bed like a deflated ball. She pondered: I didn't make any money today, and I've spent hundreds of dollars. I don't know if the business cards I sent out will be effective or bring in any clients. Having skipped a lunch break and been so exhausted during the day, Wang Yitong fell asleep within moments of lying in bed.
Chen Dong looked at the time and estimated that Zhang Ping would be back soon, so he quickly prepared the braised beef with potatoes and pickled fish. The aroma of the food filled the whole house, making people salivate. Chen Dong gently knocked on Wang Yitong's door and asked her to come out for dinner. Wang Yitong was awakened by the knock on the door, sat up in bed, and responded, "I'll be right out."
Zhang Ping returned with beer and Weiyi soy milk. He handed the soy milk to Wang Yitong, while the others took the beer. Zhang Ping excitedly said, "It's a rare weekend get-together for us today, especially with Yitong here. This is our official dinner. Cheers to our college roommates and alumni!"
Everyone raised their glasses of wine or soy milk and said in unison, "Cheers!"
Li Cheng's face was filled with smiles as he said, "I'd like to give a special thank you to our chef, Chen Dong, tonight. The two dishes he made were simply amazing. He could open a restaurant like that! It's fate that brought us together. Without further ado, if you all need anything in the future, I'll definitely be happy to help you out if I can!"
Chen Dong smiled and waved his hand, saying, "You're too polite. We're not just brothers, we're friends. I still remember when we were in college, Zhang Ping took us to work part-time so we could earn money to buy computers together. Zhang Ping, I knew you were a good businessman. You're working at an agency now. I don't know what your plans are, but I'm sure you'll make a big splash."
Brother Cheng, although you don't talk much, I know you're a man with plans and ambitions. I wish you success in your career and in your relationship.
Ah Huang, we've been together since we were bunk beds, and we understand each other's minds perfectly. If we work together, we'll definitely make a name for ourselves!"
After hearing Chen Dong's words, the three were deeply moved. They raised their glasses and said to Chen Dong sincerely, "Brother, our feelings are all in this wine!" Before he finished speaking, everyone drank it all in one gulp. Wang Yitong also raised her soy milk, smiled at the other four, and said gratefully, "Brothers, I am truly fortunate to have known you. You have all taken such great care of me in life and work. Thank you, I will offer you a drink instead of wine. I wish you all success in your career and happiness in life."
The four of them smiled warmly upon hearing Wang Yitong's words. They raised their beers again and toasted with Wang Yitong. Ah Huang continued, "Yitong, you really have to thank Chen Dong. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have the chance to get together. Chen Dong is the one who cares about you the most. He..."
Chen Dong quickly interrupted Ah Huang, his face slightly reddened, and he said with a smile: "Hey, everyone, stop talking about me. It's all fate. Let's continue eating and drinking."
"That's right. I'm tired of eating out every day. Chen Dong's cooking is still the best."
"Haha, then eat more."
"Chen Dong, you have the worst alcohol tolerance, so you have to drink more. Anyway, you don't have to go to work tomorrow, so it doesn't matter if you get drunk."
…
The room was filled with a joyful atmosphere, and everyone was enjoying the food and chatting happily. Wang Yitong ate the food attentively, and she praised every dish made by Chen Dong.
At this time, Zhang Ping suggested: "Drinking alone is too boring. Let's play a game, how about truth or dare?" This suggestion was unanimously responded to. During the game, everyone enjoyed a happy time.
Finally, it was Chen Dong's turn to lose. With the tacit cooperation of Li Cheng and Ah Huang, Chen Dong chose to tell the truth. Li Cheng looked at Chen Dong and said softly: "Chen Dong, everyone is gathered together today, and Yitong is here too. What kind of person do you think Yitong is? Do you have anything you want to say to Yitong?"
When Yitong heard this question, she raised her head curiously and her eyes fell on Chen Dong. She wanted to know how this senior brother who had always cared about her would evaluate her.
Chen Dong's face flushed, and he was getting drunk. He took a deep breath, picked up his glass, and gulped down the drink, as if to encourage himself. Then, he looked at Wang Yitong and said in a firm voice, "When I first met Yitong, her beauty and vitality captivated me deeply and made me unforgettable. Later, when we met again in the club, although others might think I was short and ugly, Yitong never thought so. Instead, she thought I was very hardworking."
In my heart, Yitong is my goddess. Yitong, when you were in a relationship, I was happy for you; later, when you broke up, I felt fortunate. I want to tell you that I loved you from the first moment I saw you. I'm working hard to make money now, and I have only one dream, which is to marry you and give you a good life.
Chen Dong's words struck Wang Yitong like a bolt of lightning. Her eyes widened in surprise. She had never imagined Chen Dong had such deep feelings for her. She had always considered Chen Dong a good friend and had never considered taking things further.
Wang Yitong came back to her senses and quickly stood up. She unconsciously pushed Chen Dong with her hand and said softly, "Brother, I'm sorry. You are my good friend. I don't want to fall in love now. You will meet a more suitable person in the future."
