Su Xiao glanced at the two of them, a smile flashing in her eyes. Something was going on. She was a little excited and needed to share.
She looked at Shang Ziming and nudged him with her elbow. Shang Ziming raised an eyebrow. He had been talking to Fang Minghao and hadn't paid attention to her conversation with Tian Shuang. "What's wrong?"
Su Xiao winked at him, gesturing for him to look over there.
Shang Ziming followed Su Xiao's gaze and saw Cheng Jiulang talking to Tian Shuang, uh... chatting and laughing?
Shang Ziming raised an eyebrow in realization. The two looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
“If you don’t like it and aren’t happy doing it, then don’t do it,” Cheng Jiulang suggested with a smile, but his eyes revealed a very serious and earnest light. “What do you like? Do what you like.”
Tian Shuang was slightly taken aback, her gaze unfocused as she looked at the meat in the bowl, somewhat dejected. "Everything has been arranged at home. It's not like I can just quit whenever I want."
Her parents have gone to great lengths for her, spending money and effort to make arrangements. If she were to back out now, who would she be letting down?
Cheng Jiulang's eyes flickered slightly, and the smile on his face faded. He understood her concerns and couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her. His brows furrowed slightly, and his fingers unconsciously tapped the armrest of the chair, a gesture he made when he was thinking.
"Ha, forget it." Tian Shuang laughed with relief. "If you're talking about something I particularly like, I don't have anything. Being able to earn money to support myself is something that so many people dream of. If I were to complain about it here, people would definitely scold me for being ungrateful. Haha."
Looking at her smile, Cheng Jiulang couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips slightly, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. In that instant, he made a decision.
"Little sister, why are you still eating here?" Tian Zhibing came out after changing his clothes, but he didn't see his sister. He looked around anxiously, but he didn't expect that his little sister was eating at the same table with the guests.
"Ah, Second Brother, I forgot about you." Tian Shuang stood up guiltily, looking innocent, and blinked her big eyes as she murmured, "Oh, it's all because your Dongpo pork was too delicious."
Tian Zhibing's face darkened, and he glared at her with disdain. He then looked at the others present and apologized, "I'm sorry, everyone. My sister is being inconsiderate and has disturbed your meal."
"Brother Xiaoshuang, you're exaggerating." Su Xiao suppressed his slight shock and smiled, "Xiaoshuang is my good friend. It's nice to meet a kindred spirit in a foreign land and get together."
“Yes, yes, this is my friend.” Tian Shuang excitedly jumped to Su Xiao’s side, took her arm and introduced her, “This is Su Xiaoxiao, a new friend I met in the Northwest. Xiaoxiao, this is my second brother, Tian Zhibing, who is an amazing cook.”
"Hello, Comrade Tian." Su Xiao nodded slightly.
“Comrade Su.” Tian Zhibing nodded in response, then looked at Shang Ziming.
The man's gaze was so intense that it was impossible to ignore.
"Shang Zimu, my little one."
"Oh, Comrade Shang." Tian Zhibing suddenly realized, glanced at Su Xiao, and found it somewhat amusing.
"Fang Minghao." Fang Minghao nodded casually.
"Hello, Comrade Tian, I am Cheng Jiulang." Cheng Jiulang extended his hand, showing a hint of enthusiasm.
"Hello, Comrade Cheng." Tian Zhibing extended his hand, and the two shook hands.
After the introductions, everyone got to know each other.
"Comrade Tian, would you like to sit down with me?" Su Xiao invited.
Shang Ziming's hands clenched and relaxed slightly, and the smile on his face faded a little.
