Yang Niannian almost choked on the noodles. "Please don't embarrass my husband. We don't know when Deputy Head Qin will be back. By the time he sees the noodles, they will be moldy."

Zheng Xinyue was like a deflated ball, instantly losing all her energy.

Oh! Another mistake.

"It's not realistic to bring noodles, but it's okay to bring letters." Lu Shishen said coldly.

These words were like a panacea, Zheng Xinyue immediately became full of energy, "Then take the letter with you, I'll write it when I get back."

At this time, a girl in simple clothes and carrying a luggage bag walked into the store.

The girl is not very old, has a petite figure, sallow skin, but her facial features are quite pretty.

She stared at the menu on the wall and didn't even notice that the luggage in her hand hit the corner of the table. She stumbled and was about to fall. Fortunately, Lu Shishen quickly supported her arm and she didn't fall.

Seeing that she had stood firm, Lu Shishen quickly let her go.

The girl managed to steady herself, looked up and saw Lu Shishen's face, her face suddenly turned red.

"Thank you."

"Need not."

Lu Shishen shook his head, turned around and saw that Yang Niannian and Zheng Xinyue had finished their noodles, so he prepared to pay the bill.

Zheng Xinyue stretched out her hand in front of Lu Shishen and shouted, "Don't move, it's my treat."

After that, he stood up and ran to the boss to pay, "Boss, how much?"

"80 cents a bowl, a total of 2.40 yuan." The boss said with a smile.

Zheng Xinyue paid quickly, but the girl who just came in was surprised.

"A bowl of noodles costs 80 cents?"

Seeing that she thought it was too expensive, the boss didn't get angry and just smiled and said.

"Little girl, you are also a student from outside Beijing, right? Prices here in Beijing are relatively higher than in other places. The prices near my school are relatively affordable. A bowl of noodles in other places costs 1 yuan."

“…”

Hearing this, the girl's face turned red instantly. She smiled awkwardly and ran out of the noodle shop.

Yang Niannian was not surprised. A bowl of noodles cost 80 cents, which was not expensive for her, but for many people in the countryside, it was indeed expensive. Some people did not even earn 80 cents a day.

I didn't take this matter to heart at first, but when I returned to the hotel, I ran into that girl again.

She is bargaining with the boss, hoping to get a lower room rate.

There were two girls queuing behind me with impatient looks on their faces, and one of them, who had a black mole at the corner of her mouth, urged them on.

"Are you going to stay here or not? If you want to stay, hurry up. If you don't want to stay, don't delay us. I'm almost dead tired after sitting on the train for a whole day."

The girl in the noodle shop felt a little embarrassed, biting her lip and bargaining with the boss pitifully.

"Boss, I'm a student and I don't have much money. 5 yuan a night is really too expensive. Can you give me a lower price? I'll get up at 5 o'clock tomorrow morning and leave early, okay?"

The boss was a man in his fifties, with a simple and kind look, and he explained things patiently.

"Little girl, this is really not possible. Most of the guests here are students. If I give you a discount, how can I charge others?"

He also couldn't bear to let a little girl sleep on the street, so he suggested, "If you think it's too expensive, you can share a room with others for one night, each paying half, and you can both save some room fees."

The girl was wondering who would live with her when she suddenly caught a glimpse of Yang Niannian walking in. A light flashed in her eyes.

I bravely asked, "You are also a Beijing University student, right? Can I stay with you for one night?"

After saying that, she glanced at Lu Shishen, and a hint of shyness as if she was falling in love for the first time appeared on her face.

Without waiting for Yang Niannian to answer, Zheng Xinyue stood up and said, "Of course not! They are a couple living together, why are you following them?"

The girl's face flashed with surprise, and then she asked awkwardly in a low voice, "Then, can I live with you?"

"No, I'm used to sleeping alone." Zheng Xinyue still had to write a letter to Qin Aonan at night and didn't want anyone to disturb her.

The girl with a black mole on the corner of her mouth couldn't help but say, "We are all students of Beijing University, why are you so heartless?"

She looked at Lu Shishen up and down in a smart way, "You are such a good-looking man, you are a soldier, right? Aren't soldiers supposed to help others? Why don't you help with this little thing? Are you going to watch her, a girl, sleeping on the street?"

Lu Shishen had a blank expression on his face. "Soldiers don't have the right to force others."

Zheng Xinyue has made it clear that she is unwilling to live with others.

Girls with black moles at the corners of their mouths are being morally blackmailed.

"You can get her a separate room!"

When the girl from the noodle shop heard this, she clutched her luggage bag tightly with both hands and looked at Lu Shishen with tears in her eyes.

Yang Niannian didn't like others looking at Lu Shishen with such pitiful eyes.

She squeezed in front of Lu Shishen, trying to block the girls' sight, but she didn't know that this approach was completely useless.

Her body couldn't even cover Lu Shishen's chin.

Yang Niannian looked at the girl with a black mole at the corner of her mouth. The girl was dressed fashionably, had high brow bones, and looked okay, but her uneven teeth lowered her appearance. The black mole the size of a sesame seed at the corner of her mouth made her face look a little mean.

She spoke in an arrogant tone and had a superiority look on her face. It was obvious that she came from a wealthy family.

Thinking that in this era there are people who like to use morality to blackmail others, Yang Niannian couldn't help but sneer.

"Soldiers are also human beings, they have their own private lives. Others are reluctant to spend money, so soldiers have to pay for it? Which school teacher instilled this idea in you? Tell me, I will write a letter and visit you."

The girl with a black mole at the corner of her mouth didn't expect that Yang Niannian looked so well-behaved and weak, and spoke so smartly.

She was stunned for a moment, then after she reacted, she curled her lips sarcastically.

"Aren't soldiers supposed to serve the people? It seems that not every soldier has a loving heart."

Yang Niannian mocked, "You are so kind-hearted, why don't you just live with her? Why do you have to blackmail others?"

"I already have someone living with me." The girl with a black mole at the corner of her mouth snorted.

"If the accommodation fee is shared by three people, it will be lower and can better solve her dilemma." Yang Niannian said.

"That's right. If three of us share the cost, each person only needs to pay a little over one dollar." Zheng Xinyue rubbed her hands together, looking ready to resolve the issue with force at any time.

"..." Seeing Yang Niannian kick the ball to her, the girl with a black mole on the corner of her mouth rolled her eyes, "It's up to you to stay or not, what does it have to do with me?"

After that, he turned to the boss and said, "Open a room for me first."

Yang Niannian was too lazy to pay attention to her. She took Lu Shishen's arm and walked past the girl who had no money to stay at the hotel.

Before we set out, we knew it would be night time when we arrived here and we would have to stay in a hotel for one night, so it was impossible for us to be without money.

Now I just feel that the accommodation fee is a little more than I expected, and I’m reluctant to spend the money.

She is not such a saintly woman who would be so generous everywhere. There are a lot of poor students these days, and there are millions of people who are more pitiful than this girl.

Sure enough, after returning to the room, when she went out to wash up with a towel, she happened to see the girl from the hotel carrying her luggage and checking into the room next door.

Look!

Isn't this a place with money to stay?

It’s not that they can’t afford to live there, they just want to bargain.
