The next day, it was evening study time.
Chen Tinghan and Xu Jingwen were very familiar with skipping classes, but what was more unusual was that this time it was Chen Tinghan who took the initiative to ask him out, saying that he would treat him to food, drinks and entertainment. At first, Xu Jingwen thought that he had finally come to his senses and they could finally go to the Internet cafe together, but this idiot called him to the cafeteria and ordered a bowl of pickled rice noodles at the window, which was priced at six yuan and was so disgusting that even a dog would shake its head if it smelled it.
Xu Jingwen looked at the noodles in the bowl that had no color, aroma or taste, his face a little distorted. He pinched his nose, took a few spoonfuls of chili pepper, threw it in and stirred it. In the whole cafeteria, the only thing that could be considered human food was the bottle of Wanghai special chili sauce that he asked the cafeteria aunt for. He couldn't get it because he didn't have a good relationship with the aunt.
The taste is authentic and strong, and the students who were lucky enough to have eaten it said that it is delicious even if you use it to mix with the mass-produced shit in the cafeteria.
Xu Jingwen took two bites and then cursed angrily: "You are such a beast. You feed your sister delicious food and let your brother eat coarse food. And you still say you are enjoying delicious food."
"Oh, you can even say idioms." Chen Tinghan was sarcastic for a while, but he felt guilty and said, "Don't blame me, buddy. I really have something to do later. Tomorrow is Friday. You choose the place and eat whatever you want."
Xu Jingwen suddenly looked him up and down and said, "Anywhere is fine."
"Anywhere."
"really?"
Chen Tinghan said firmly: "Really."
"Then you have to come with me to see someone."
Chen Tinghan was a bit surprised. He took a mouthful of noodles and stuffed it into his mouth, mumbling, "Meet someone? Who?"
Xu Jingwen waved his hand without explaining, and abruptly changed the subject, saying, "Tell me honestly, which one do you like?"
Chen Tinghan almost choked on his saliva and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about all of a sudden? You've ruined my bowl of noodles."
"I'm serious," Xu Jingwen said, "Wang Jinling, or Li Zishan?"
"Nuts." Chen Tinghan scolded with a smile, "Why do you assume that I like any of them? Besides, it doesn't matter whether I like them or not. They all look down on me. Why don't you go ask them if any of them would be blind enough to like me?"
"You look quite smart." Xu Jingwen looked at him with disdain and said, "I think it was you who helped me to pursue our class beauty. You acted like a romantic. Now it seems that your brain is not so bright either. You are no better than me."
"You fucking..." Chen Tinghan hesitated and said, "You are quite self-aware."
"Don't interrupt." Xu Jingwen said seriously, "Let's talk about Wang Jinling first. Do you think she would let someone she doesn't like get close to her, and let them be alone together? Dream on!"
"That only means that she doesn't hate it. Not hating it doesn't mean she likes it." Chen Tinghan was speechless and shook his head.
Xu Jingwen said, "Okay, anyway, I can't guess what she's thinking, nor can I control it. So let's talk about Li Zishan. You can't get away with this, right?"
"What happened to her?"
Xu Jingwen looked at his reckless appearance and was furious. He almost suppressed his anger and said, "Forget it. The class beauty has given an order. If I don't point it out, you must know it in your heart."
Chen Tinghan suddenly lowered his head and stopped talking.
"Guilty!" Xu Jingwen spat on the ground, pushed the bowl aside, and said, "I'm really worried that you'll get fucked by a woman one day. Do you know who wants to see you?"
Chen Tinghan gave him face and shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
Xu Jingwen said mysteriously, "The Ice Queen of Haishan Junior High School, Lin Xueyan."
"Pfft." Chen Tinghan snorted and laughed heartily: "Damn, does she know that she has such a stupid nickname?"
Xu Jingwen was originally quite serious, but after hearing him laugh so loudly, he couldn't hold it in for a moment. The corners of his mouth twitched as he said, "Yes, I am a bit of a fool, but that's not important. The point is, she came to me specifically and said she wanted to see you."
When Chen Tinghan heard about the girl who would have been persecuted and died, he felt at ease and a sense of accomplishment. Anyway, no one knew that it was Chen Tinghan who gave the instructions behind the scenes, so there was nothing to hide.
He shook his head and said, "I don't know her, why would she come to me specifically?"
Xu Jingwen looked at him deeply and said, "Don't pretend, you know a lot of people."
Chen Tinghan shrugged and said, "That kidnapping incident caused a lot of uproar. Don't you know her?"
"I'm from this circle," Xu Jingwen said proudly, raising his head. "I know all the famous beauties in Wanghai. The only one I'm not very familiar with is the Li family. Yes, the Li from Li Zishan."
"You kid, you have three beauties around you, all of them are genuine rich girls, you have such good luck in love!"
Chen Tinghan was a little speechless, lowered his head and said: "Forget about those two, Lin Xueyan is only in junior high school."
"What's wrong with junior high school?" Xu Jingwen asked curiously, "We're only in high school."
"......" It seems to be something like this: "We are just friends, don't think too much."
"Whatever you want, I've warned you anyway."
Chen Tinghan didn't want to continue the conversation, so he shook his head and said, "I'm not looking for you to criticize me. Let's get down to business."
"What's the matter?"
"Are you short of money?" Chen Tinghan asked.
Xu Jingwen sneered: "Who do you think I am? The eldest son of the Xu family!"
"I heard from Lian Heyu that your father recently stopped giving you pocket money." Chen Tinghan grinned and said, "So you've been eating and drinking at his expense all this time, and you're in debt."
His face immediately fell, and he said bitterly: "He talks too much... What, you want to help me pay off my debt?"
"That won't work." Chen Tinghan said, "I want to ask you, do you want to make money?"
"Yes, of course. Who doesn't want to make money? If you can't get along with money, you're a jerk." Xu Jingwen perked up and asked, "How do you make money?"
Chen Tinghan looked mysterious as he bent down and picked up a package of fried noodles and barbecue from under the table. "Are you almost done eating? Let's have some main course."
Xu Jingwen's eyes widened and he cursed angrily: "Damn it, no wonder you didn't want to eat it, it turns out there are good things hidden, where did they come from?"
"Let's eat together, let's eat together." Chen Tinghan said hypocritically, "I want you to taste it. Do you think it tastes good?"
Xu Jingwen couldn't wait any longer and picked up a skewer of lamb and started chewing it. His frown seemed to have melted away. "This is a real midnight snack. What I just had was that boiled shit."
The cafeteria was empty, with few people around. Immediately, the auntie behind the noodle-cooking window started to scold and laugh: "You little bastard, watch your mouth!"
The two men laughed awkwardly, and Xu Jingwen whispered, "So, what does this have to do with making money?"
"I haven't even left school today. How do you think this midnight snack got into my hands?"
"You called and asked someone to order it."
"Yes, takeout from the street across from the school. That's how we make money."
