Chapter 29 Chapter 29 The dinner team
It was already dinner time, so Ji Yan got a number on the app in advance.
At the entrance of the store, Qi Ying and Hua Yu were sitting on the stools outside the hot pot restaurant waiting in line. They covered their mouths, and no one knew what they were saying. Their facial expressions were erratic, and they were probably discussing someone or something that they couldn't believe.
Pei Shuyu held down the little white bear, hooked her long legs, pulled the stool next to Qi Ying, turned around and sat over, then leaned forward and put her ear close to listen.
Qi Ying and Hua Yu were stunned when they saw such an unscrupulous person coming around. After seeing who it was, the gossip elements in their eyes started burning.
Hua Yu opened her mouth to ask, but Qi Ying grabbed her and pushed her into a chair. Qi Ying looked around cautiously, focusing on Pei Shuyu.
A meter away, Ji Yan was wearing a blue and white school uniform, holding a teddy bear that looked exactly like Pei Shuyu's in her arms. A few strands of her long hair were held down by the teddy bear. Compared to the aloof and indifferent look on campus, she had a bit more of the gentleness of a girl next door.
After Ji Yan told her that she liked Pei Shuyu and asked her to act as a spy, Qi Ying's radar was directly upgraded several degrees.
Outside of class time, wherever Pei Shuyu is, there will definitely be another person within a few meters.
Qi Ying covered Hua Yu's mouth and greeted the two with a smile: "Are you eating here too?"
Pei Shuyu nodded, and seeing Hua Yu struggling, she raised her eyebrows: "What are you two talking about? You're laughing so happily."
Qi Ying let go of Hua Yu and walked towards Ji Yan, asking Hua Yu to be careful and not to talk nonsense: "Nothing, just about Wang Long."
The waiter at the door is calling your number.
Pei Shuyu said "Oh" and said, "It's our turn. Let's go in first."
In the past, Qi Ying and Hua Yu would definitely share a table with Pei Shuyu to eat together, but now was different. The two of them were tactful and didn't say much.
After ordering, Pei Shuyu was still a little curious: "Did the sun rise from the west today? Why do these two people seem a little abnormal?"
Ji Yan held her chin up in boredom, the pale white mist rising up curved into waves: "Maybe it's me here."
Pei Shuyu had no doubts: "That's right, they are not familiar with you."
“Ding Dong.”
Ji Yan's phone, which was resting on the table, rang.
She picked it up and saw that it was a friend request.
[Classmate Ji, I want to kowtow at the table too.] The note behind it is Huayu.
Ji Yan clicked on the screen and passed it directly.
An emoticon came from the other end, but Ji Yan didn't reply and put the phone back.
During the meal, Pei Shuyu talked non-stop from school to the studio, and then from the studio to the news she read online, never letting Ji Yan's words fall on the ground.
Ji Yan used the serving chopsticks to pick up food for Pei Shuyu, and occasionally responded to the topics raised by the other party.
Pei Shu said: "There is a lake in the painting school with lotus flowers planted in it. We can sneak in and pick lotus seeds when the time comes."
Ji Yan lowered her eyes and agreed.
Two white bears were put into the backpack, and Pei Shuyu suddenly wanted to go see the boat.
I took a taxi to the bridge.
Most of the ships sailing from here are small and medium-sized ships.
When Pei Shuyu and Ji Yan were young, they would often sit on the lawn by the river after dinner in the summer, watching the passing boats, accompanied by the orange and yellow sunset glow.
The river surface is more than one meter above the shore. When there is wind, the waves roll towards the shore and are blocked by the stone walls.
Little Pei Shuyu would often sit right next to the stone wall, put his legs down, and when the waves came, he would lift them up a little to avoid them.
The original lawn was planted with other things and could no longer be passed. Pei Shuyu stood at the edge of the bridge, holding the railing and looking forward.
The number of ships passing through here is much less than when I was a child, and there are also much fewer people watching the ships.
Pei Shuyu's clothes were blown by the wind: "I haven't been here for many years."
Ji Yan calculated the time: "About four or five years."
This is not the only way home, and with more and more things to play with and busy schoolwork, many familiar things are gradually forgotten.
Pei Shuyu murmured, "It's been so long." She took out her phone and held it up straight. "Come on, let's take a photo to commemorate this. We've been very healthy today and even took a walk after dinner."
The exterior scene is dyed in warm colors, the setting sun ripples on the waves, a ship passes by in the camera, smoke rises on the deck, and someone is eating there.
When the ship sailed away and became a piece of the background, Pei Shuyu clicked on his phone.
The photo is frozen on two young and energetic faces.
Pei Shuyu admired it for a while, then sent the photo to Ji Yan: "I'll give you a copy."
Putting away his phone, Pei Shuyu crossed the curved cement road relying on his memory. Below him was an endless road. As it was a downhill road, it was blocked by green fences on both sides and extended to a flat land.
Inside the fence, the lawn was replaced by planted flowers and plants, and there was also a row of low houses.
I had wanted to get closer to see if I could get close to the shore, but now there was no way.
At the end of the bridge, about fifty meters away, is the street. The street is not busy and still has the same shops as it did four or five years ago.
"Did you say that chicken chop shop went bankrupt?" Pei Shuyu stretched her neck to look.
Ji Yan saved the photo and said amusedly, "I don't know why you want it to go bankrupt so much."
Pei Shuyu gritted her teeth and said, "Because I will never forget that the chicken chop I bought from him that day was bad."
A few years ago, Ruan Zhuangjing brought Pei Shuyu and Ji Yan passing by here. Thinking that they had been here several times before, she stopped the car and took them to the shore to take a look at the boat.
Pei Shuyu felt craving for snacks during the meal, but Ruan Zhuangjing didn't agree to her request to buy snacks because she had to eat dinner later. However, she couldn't stand Pei Shuyu's nagging and lowered her request, allowing her to buy only one.
Pei Shuyu naturally cherished the rule that only one could be bought, but there were really few snacks here. After walking back and forth on the street twice, Pei Shuyu finally decided to leave this opportunity to the chicken chop shop.
The shop sign had a name Pei Shuyu had never heard of. It only had one storefront and couldn't even provide dine-in services. There was even a layer of grease on the cash register.
Ruan Zhuangjing was not very willing to let Pei Shuyu eat, but since she had already agreed, she couldn't say anything. She frowned and watched the store owner take out a bag of things from the freezer.
Ji Yan didn't feel like eating, so she didn't choose.
After getting the sizzling chicken fillet, Pei Shuyu happily carried it into the car. When it cooled down a bit, she ate a bite with joy.
With a stiff expression, he silently took out a few pieces of paper to wrap his mouth and spit it out.
Very strange taste.
The sour taste cannot be covered by the seasoning.
From then on, every time Pei Shuyu saw that chicken chop shop, she would mutter, "Why hasn't it closed down yet?"
Unexpectedly, four or five years later, Pei Shuyu was still thinking about this matter.
Unfortunately, that chicken chop shop is still open there.
Pei Shuyu seemed to sense the sour taste again: "Ahhhhhhhh, why does it still exist?"
Ji Yan suppressed her laughter and said deliberately, "Let's go buy another one and try it. Maybe it will taste normal."
Pei Shuyu said with a stern face: "I won't fall into the same trap twice."
Not wanting to see this chicken chop shop again, Pei Shuyu turned his back in self-deception.
Home and here are two opposite directions. The scene outside gradually becomes prosperous, with the sound of horns incessantly. Pei Shuyu leans leisurely on Ji Yan's shoulder and chats with people in the class group.
The only ones active in the group are always the same few.
Ji Yan was also playing with her phone.
Pei Shuyu looked out of the car window and saw that the colorful lights merged into a small glowing ball as the distance got farther.
She fixed her hair and glanced to the side.
Ji Yan is posting on WeChat Moments.
She was in the mood.
Ji Yan, who hasn't posted anything on WeChat Moments for a year or two, actually felt like posting this tonight.
Ji Yan's hand trembled as she was choosing a photo, and she chose the one next to the group photo.
Pei Shuyu leaned over: "Ah, ah, ah, don't forget our photo."
Ji Yan selected a few more photos, but still did not choose a group photo.
Pei Shuyu pretended to be dissatisfied: "What's going on? Do you think I'm not worthy of being in your circle of friends, so you don't post."
Without waiting for Ji Yan to say anything, she directly clicked on the photo and moved to the middle of it: "Yeah, that's it, post it."
A smile flashed in Ji Yan's eyes, and she said softly, "You made your own choice."
Pei Shuyu slumped back into her comfortable position: "Yeah, did you send it?"
Ji Yan: “Yes.”
Pei Shuyu refreshed her Moments and new content popped up.
The photo of her and Ji Yan was located in the center of the nine-square grid, with no extra text above it.
It fits Ji Yan's introverted personality very well.
Pei Shuyu liked the post and commented: [Wow, the middle one is so pretty, who took it?] followed by two emojis.
Soon, there were two more likes.
It belongs to Qi Ying and Hua Yu.
The two of them clicked the like button one after the other at about the same time.
Pei Shuyu also received a like from a friend and became curious: "Are you friends with Qi Ying and Hua Yu?"
How come she has no idea when this happened?
Ji Yan's expression remained normal: "Not long ago."
Pei Shuyu didn't think much about it: "Why haven't I heard you say that?"
The driver's voice in front of us rang out at this moment: "We're here. Should we stop here or a little further ahead?"
Ji Yan: "Right here, thank you."
The car door opened, and Pei Shuyu quickly got out. After Ji Yan got out, she mysteriously hooked her arms around Ji Yan's neck and said with a grin, "Guess what I prepared?"
Ji Yan glanced at her and said, "Barbecue?"
Pei Shuyu's face fell: "How do you know everything?"
Ji Yan smiled.
I don’t know how Pei Shuyu developed this habit, but every time he finishes eating hotpot, he will definitely order a barbecue when he comes back.
Combining the two does not have to be unhealthy.
The food delivery app showed that the rider would arrive in ten minutes, so Pei Shuyu pressed Ji Yan towards home.
The electronic lock opened, and the warm lights in the house lit up simultaneously. After changing shoes at the entrance, Pei Shuyu said, "I'm going to take a shower first. Please help me get it when I get there."
She handed the phone to Ji Yan to prevent the rider from making a call.
Ji Yan sat on the sofa, and a group chat appeared on the WeChat interface, which was Qi Yingla's.
There were only three people inside.
She, Qi Ying, Hua Yu.
Ji Yan stared at the group chat name above, and her heart couldn't help but beat.
"The dining team."
These two people are a bit unreliable.
Qi Ying: [Ji Yan, did it succeed?]
Hua Yu: [Ji Yan, did it succeed?]
Ji Yan didn't really want to reply. After a moment, she said: [No.]
The answer was expected, and Qi Ying and Hua Yu were not surprised. How could it be possible that something Ji Yan had just told them today could happen so quickly?
I just saw the circle of friends that Ji Yan posted. The two people in the photo were so well-matched that I couldn't help but want to gossip.
Even though I am not familiar with Ji Yan, we can always chat over the Internet.
Qi Ying: [Come on.jpg]
Huayu: [Come on.jpg]
Ji Yan replied with a "Yeah."
Qi Ying: [We are here for Class 10, don't worry.]
Hua Yu: [We are here for Class 10, don't worry.]
-----------------------
The author has something to say: Ji Yan: ...
Yes, check out my pre-collection: "My Enemy is Cheating Me Again Today"
At that time, Su hated Ji Ran the most in his life.
During the sect competition, she was knocked off the stage by Ji Ran, becoming a laughing stock and losing face.
While out training, the high-level spirit beast she had finally defeated was killed by Ji Ran with a single sword strike, who then took it for himself...
All these things made Shi Su feel so angry that his teeth were itching.
She and Ji Ran are as hostile as water and fire, but the sisters around them are very enthusiastic about it, talking about how the two love and hate each other.
Shi Su sneered: "Love and hate each other? She deserves it."
"Even if she died in front of me, I wouldn't even look at her."
＊
Later, Ji Ran failed to survive the tribulation, his spiritual veins were severed, and he became a cripple.
It was midnight, wind and rain were falling, and Shi Su looked at the woman knocking on her door indifferently: "Why? Even the proud daughter of heaven would come to see me?"
Ji Ran's face turned pale: "Shi Su, help me."
Shi Su spat: "Why?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Ran fell in front of her and turned into a little squirrel.
Shi Su: “…”
＊
What should you do if your mortal enemy turns out to be your favorite animal?
Shi Su couldn't help petting the little squirrel while looking for a solution with disgust.
It was furry and warm, unlike Ji Ran's mouth, which was eight hundred degrees below zero and stung the heart.
After trying countless methods without success, Shi Su collapsed.
She looked at the little squirrel that couldn't transform: "How about...you just stay like this, it's quite cute."
Ji Ran: "You'll support me?"
It's just a little squirrel, it's not like he can't afford to raise it, so Shi Su agreed: "I will raise you for the rest of your life, and I will never leave you."
＊
Until one accident, Shi Su accidentally saw Ji Ran splitting the mountain with one sword and flying in the air without any sign of his spiritual veins being broken.
She just found out that the so-called failure to survive the tribulation and the complete loss of spiritual power were all acts.
Shi Su laughed angrily.
She really had taken a love drug and believed Ji Ran's lies.
Ji Ran, who was exposed, said: "You said you would support me for the rest of my life."
Shi Su sneered: "You've been eating and drinking for free for so long, and you still have the nerve to ask me to support you? Pay me back!"
Ji Ran looked at her, sighed, and turned back into a little squirrel, snuggling into her arms: "How about this?"
Shi Su: "...pay back less."
