Chapter 44 The Girl in My Memory
"Don't you know yet? But I think you'll feel really good after reading this!"
Shu Ya handed the phone to Jiang Yao with excitement.
A video shot by a passerby is playing on the screen.
In the video, Lu Xuan, disheveled and in a state of disarray, woke up from the green belt. When he got up, his face was ashen, and he was holding up his pants with one hand. He yelled at the camera, "Get out of here!"
"Hahaha..." Shu Ya laughed so hard that tears almost came out. "This scumbag, after leaving you, he actually ended up sleeping on the street. He really deserves it. This is karma! Who made him treat you like that before?"
If it were in the past, Jiang Yao might still have emotional fluctuations.
However, now that she saw Lu Xuan become like this, her heart was calm.
"No matter what he becomes, it has nothing to do with me anymore."
Jiang Yao spoke lightly, his eyes inadvertently seeing a slender and familiar figure walking in from the door.
——Li Beiting.
Why is he here too?
It can't be such a coincidence, right?
You can also meet them outside of school.
Just when she was beginning to have doubts, Feng Yue came back and spoke warmly to Li Beiting with a smile.
"Hey, isn't this Mr. Li? Are you free today?"
"Well, come and eat." Li Beiting said in a flat tone.
But obviously, the two should be acquaintances.
What a coincidence.
What a coincidence.
She actually indulged herself in sentimentality for once.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yao felt a little embarrassed and was about to look away.
Unexpectedly, Li Beiting had already ordered the dishes. He raised his eyes and met Jiang Yao's gaze.
Jiang Yao pursed his lips slightly and greeted him awkwardly.
Their eyes met, and Li Beiting nodded slightly to Jiang Yao.
Feng Yue naturally saw this scene, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
As far as I can remember, Li Beiting, the icy-faced guy, has never taken the initiative to say hello to any girl.
She thought he was not interested in women, but she didn't expect that he could be so friendly!
"You two know each other! That's such a coincidence."
Because she was quite familiar with them, Feng Yue blinked, a hint of deep meaning flashed in her eyes, and she simply suggested.
"I wonder if you guys would be able to share a table? I'm running out of space here, and I just received a call from a customer who wanted to reserve a table."
Li Beiting was stunned, but then he said nonchalantly, "I don't mind."
Jiang Yao was also a little stunned. She didn't expect him to agree so readily.
She was too embarrassed to refuse.
After thinking about it, it is actually possible. I always said that I wanted to repay favors, but I never found a good opportunity.
Since she met Li Beiting today, she could invite him to dinner, but she still had to ask Shu Ya's opinion.
"Can you?"
Shu Ya had noticed him when Jiang Yao took the initiative to greet this handsome guy. He was quite handsome.
Now that the handsome guy was approaching, a look of surprise flashed in Shu Ya's eyes.
There are all kinds of male stars in the entertainment industry, but this man is no less impressive than any of them. He even has a stronger aura and exudes a hint of nobility. It's obvious that he is not simple.
Especially...
Her eyes shifted between Jiang Yao and the man, and the smile on her face grew even wider.
"Of course I have no objection. Hello, I'm Yaoyao's friend Shuya. May I ask who you are?"
"Li Beiting, I'm Jiang Yao's senior."
While answering, Li Beiting took two steps forward and sat down opposite them.
Jiang Yao felt a little uncomfortable when having dinner with Li Beiting for the first time.
Li Beiting, however, remained calm and composed. When ordering, the proprietress smiled and said, "As compensation for sharing the table, I'll treat each of you to a dish."
"Great, the boss lady is so generous." Jiang Yao opened the menu and looked at it.
Li Beiting was also looking down at the menu.
"Give me a serving of chopped pepper fish head."
"I want chopped pepper fish head."
The two people unexpectedly ordered the same dish in unison.
Jiang Yao and Li Beiting looked up at each other at the same time, with surprise in their eyes.
But then they looked away. Jiang Yao smiled and said, "Just go for one dish, Senior. Is there anything else you want to eat?"
Li Beiting thought for a moment and said, "Let's have another dish of Shaoyang pig blood meatballs..."
He saw that there was no soup or vegetable on the table.
Even Feng Yue was surprised. How could they order such a niche dish together?
"What a coincidence! Miss Jiang also ordered this dish just now. It hasn't been served yet, and it tastes exactly the same as yours... We are truly destined to meet."
These words made Jiang Yao feel a little embarrassed, and she hurriedly stuffed the menu in her hand into Feng Yue's arms with a coquettish look.
"Boss, I'm hungry. Go and cook."
Seeing this, Feng Yue smiled knowingly and left.
Jiang Yao and Li Beiting were left looking at each other in bewilderment.
The atmosphere in the air was inexplicably subtle.
Shu Ya's eyes flashed with interest.
“Ahem…”
"I heard that when choosing a partner, the key to determining whether two people can live together is whether they can eat from the same pot. If we use that standard, you two are truly a match made in heaven!"
A glimmer of light flashed in Li Beiting's eyes, but he did not refute.
Jiang Yao quickly reached out and pulled the corner of Shu Ya's clothes from under the table, and his expression was rarely serious.
"Don't talk nonsense, it will affect the senior's reputation."
He has a girlfriend, what will happen if this gets out?
Shu Ya raised her eyebrows, while Li Beiting beside her was slightly stunned.
reputation?
So she was afraid of affecting her reputation?
This is quite funny.
Li Beiting took the initiative to break the deadlock.
"What others say is not important to me. I don't need them to judge or define who I am or who I hang out with."
Having said that, he once again cast his admiring gaze on Jiang Yao's face.
"And I think you're great. You're able to break the boundaries and choose to continue your studies. This is also a testament to your courage and strength."
For the first time, he put aside those unnecessary prejudices and seriously expressed his approval of her.
When Jiang Yao heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his starry eyes.
She thought Li Beiting hated her. In the previous few times they were together, his attitude towards her was very subtle.
But I didn't expect that he would praise someone so sincerely.
It seems that I had some misunderstandings about my senior before.
"Thank you, senior. I will continue to work hard."
A genuine smile appeared on her face.
Shu Ya watched the two people interacting, and the smile on the corner of her lips became more obvious.
This little idiot, after leaving that scumbag, met such an outstanding person, but she still doesn't know how to seize the opportunity.
She raised her eyebrows slightly and spoke at the right moment.
"Senior Li, it's fate that we're having dinner here today. Please take good care of our Yaoyao in the future. She's independent and doesn't know how to tell others when she's wronged. I'm worried that she'll be bullied."
"I will."
Li Beiting agreed without hesitation.
The food was served quickly and everyone ate quietly.
The taste of the chopped pepper fish head here is different from that in local areas. It is an authentic Nancheng dish.
This made Li Beiting unconsciously think of a memory from his childhood.
That year.
He was tied up in a dark room by a group of people. When he thought he was going to die, a little girl suddenly appeared, like a beam of light, and led him to escape.
The two half-grown children escaped for a whole day and night and were starving.
Finally, he hid in a kitchen and secretly ate a whole plate of chopped pepper fish head while no one was noticing, leaving even the soup.
That was his most embarrassing moment so far.
It's obviously accompanied by painful memories.
But in his memory, the girl's eyes as bright as stars were deeply engraved in his heart.
He still can't forget it.
And this dish has become a delicacy in his memory.
He looked up at Jiang Yao who was eating across from him, and felt an inexplicable strange feeling in his heart.
Overlapping with the girl in my memory.
But...how is that possible?
Li Nanting frowned slightly and suppressed the strange feeling. In fact, he asked someone to look for the girl later, but they didn't find her.
