Chapter 22 We Can’t Afford It
Zheng Yu couldn't hide the gossip on his face. He nodded and said, "It's so cold. I can't stand seeing you wearing so little."
After saying that, he shook his body.
"Orange, let me tell you, I think their relationship is definitely not simple."
"Um??"
"Did you see that guy just now? Regardless of whether he's handsome or not, you can tell from the big gold chain he's wearing that he's very rich. Xia Qingqing even calls him Brother Wei. Do you think he's the rich boyfriend she's looking for?"
Xu Yucheng was surprised by what she said. The man she just saw was almost thirty years old.
Zheng Yu's words came again, "That Xia Qingqing is always picking on us in class, and she always brags about how rich she is."
"It's true that she always picks on us." He nodded in agreement, thinking of how Xia Qingqing would just throw the homework when collecting it, and how she would scold you if you just walked in front of her.
At first, Xu Yucheng didn’t take it seriously. She was good-tempered, but she also considered people carefully. Later, she directly retorted.
Zheng Yu waved his hands and said, "Forget it, never mind. Let's go have fun and not waste time on these insignificant people."
Xu Yucheng smiled and said, "Okay."
After walking a few steps, Zheng Yu stopped and said, "Wait, let me think about where we should go."
"Why don't we go eat first?" She was a little hungry.
"Okay!"
The two took a taxi to the shopping mall in the city center.
At this time, most schools are on winter vacation, and the shopping malls are crowded with people. It is just lunchtime, and every restaurant is packed with people, with queues forming.
The hand warmer in Xu Yucheng's hand was no longer warm, so she could only put her hands in the pockets of her down jacket and hide her little face in her hat.
"Orange! Wait!"
? ?
Zheng Yu took out his phone and took a picture of her face. "Hahaha, Chengzi, your nose is red. I'll send you the picture. It's quite cute."
Although the mall has air conditioning, it is still too cold to withstand the coming and going of people.
The cell phone in her pocket was cold. Xu Yucheng glanced at her phone. Her hat was too big, and the fur on the edge covered most of her face. Her nose was red from the cold.
"Then let's go find a restaurant to eat." Otherwise we'll be hungry and cold.
This floor is a food area, but every store is full and there are people waiting at the door.
They walked around and found that only the innermost store had few people.
Xu Yucheng took a look and said, "This is it."
Hold the hand of the person next to you and walk away.
"Hey hey hey, don't go there." Zheng Yu pulled her back in time.
"What's wrong? Is it not tasty?"
Zheng Yu leaned close to her ear and explained, "We can't afford to eat oranges. Everything inside is expensive. I used to come here with my mom. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so few people in that store."
Xu Yucheng looked at the store and found that the environment inside was indeed very good and there was a great atmosphere. There was even a waiter standing at the door.
At this moment, her stomach growled twice, and she looked at the people around her and said, "Why don't we go to this place? I have money."
Although her parents are not around, they give her a lot of money every month. She doesn't use it normally, so it's all in a card. She can't remember how much money is in there.
"Are you sure we can get out safely?"
"Let's go. We'll definitely be able to eat well and come out safely."
Zheng Yu swallowed and said, "Okay! Let's go now."
This store is a little distance away from other stores, so there are very few people. When the two walked to the door, they were immediately greeted warmly by the waiter.
As soon as you walk in, you are instantly surrounded by warmth.
The waiter introduced, "Follow me, both of you."
Zheng Yu whispered, "There are only private rooms here. We have to go upstairs."
The elevator goes all the way up.
Zheng Yu quickly said, "Hello sister, we'll be in the private room downstairs."
The waiter introduced with a professional smile, "Sorry, since we have a lot of people ordering food today, the private room downstairs is full, so we can only go upstairs."
Xu Yucheng was no longer so cold at this time, and said with a smile, "It's okay."
Zheng Yu tugged at her clothes and said in a very low voice, "Chengzi, this store gets more expensive the higher you go. Floors below the tenth floor are fine, but above that are VIP level."
The waiter heard this and said with a smile, "Don't worry, the private room downstairs is too full today. To prevent some customers from leaving, the manager said that we can bring people upstairs. The price is the same as downstairs."
Zheng Yu smiled a little embarrassedly, "So that's how it is."
She sighed in her heart: High-end restaurants are really different, the waiters are really nice.
The elevator went up to the fifteenth floor.
The waiter walked in front to lead the way.
It took several turns to reach the private room.
Xu Yucheng just felt that the road was a bit roundabout. It was no longer cold now and the heating inside was sufficient.
The waiter pulled the chair aside, let the customer sit down, and handed two menus to the table with both hands.
Xu Yucheng stood next to Zheng Yu and said, "Dayu, just order whatever you want."
She ordered whatever she wanted to eat.
Zheng Yu picked up the menu and took a look. The items he ordered were not very expensive. He thought, Chengzi is also a student, so she definitely doesn’t have a lot of money.
After everyone took their orders, the waiter left.
There were only the two of them in the private room, so Zheng Yu immediately relaxed and took the food on the plate on the table. "Orange, this dried fruit is delicious, try it."
Xu Yucheng took it.
She looked around and said to the people around her, "It's raining, I'm going to the bathroom."
"Go ahead."
The building here is very large and there are many turns, so Xu Yucheng took a long time to find the toilet.
The toilet was colder than outside, so she put on her hat again because she was afraid of the cold.
After coming out of the bathroom, Xu Yucheng turned and turned along the same path until she reached the end. She looked at the door in front of her. This was it.
She approached and opened the door, and her first words were, "Is the food here? I'm so hungry."
The people who were talking in the private room were stunned, and everyone looked towards the door.
Zhou Yichen was originally texting the little girl with his head down, but when he heard a familiar voice, he suddenly looked up and was stunned for two seconds after seeing the person.
Xu Yucheng didn't expect that she had gone to the wrong place. When she saw that the person sitting inside was not Zheng Yu, she immediately said sorry and turned around to leave the private room.
"Orange."
A surprised voice sounded.
She then turned around and looked. She hadn't noticed it before, but now she saw the person sitting inside.
Zhou Yichen stood up and strode towards her.
As he approached, his voice softened, "I'm hungry. Come and eat."
Take her inside.
Xu Yucheng looked at him uncertainly. She thought his first question would be why he was here.
He took me to a seat inside.
Only then did she notice the other people sitting in the private room. A familiar face, Lu Ran? He was there too? There was also a woman next to him, the one who had hit him last time.
Lu Ran hasn't been to class during this period, and he didn't go to the exam today.
Seeing that the person next to him had his face almost completely covered by his hat, Zhou Yichen softened his voice and asked, "Is it very cold?"
"It was cold just now, but it's not cold anymore." After saying that, he put the hat down.
Lu Ran was very surprised at the moment. She knew Zhou Shao? They seemed very familiar with each other.
The other people in the private room didn't expect that Zhou Shao, who had been speaking coldly just a second ago, had changed his tone since this girl came in.
The woman next to Lu Ran stood up and said with a smile, "Who is this?"
Zhou Yichen ignored her. The little girl had just said she was hungry. He picked up a shrimp from the plate in front of him and started peeling it.
The woman obviously didn't expect to be ignored, and she sat down again in embarrassment.
Xu Yucheng asked the person next to her, "Are you talking about work?"
"Um."
She looked at the people opposite her and immediately said, "My friend is waiting for me, so I won't disturb you."
Zhou Yichen pulled the man back and said, "It's okay, just eat the shrimp."
