It was lunchtime when we arrived, and maybe it was because the universities were on holiday, but the place was packed with people. The spacious hall was full, and the three of us still had to wait for nearly half an hour before we got a seat.
This time, Xu Manman ordered dishes that she had not eaten last time, but she still ordered cream cake and coffee with ice cream for dessert.
There was no bread for the main course, only fried rice. The two men ordered their own dishes. What Jin Zichu ordered this time was exactly the same as what Xu Manman ordered the first time. It really remembered every word of the host in its heart.
While ordering and waiting for the food, the two boys were chatting about things on the construction site. Xu Manman was not interested and looked around boredly, and happened to meet the eyes of the person who came in.
Yang Yang ran over quickly with a look of surprise on her face, "Youngest, you are here to eat at Lao Mo's today too? What a coincidence." Behind her was the second oldest, Cai Mei.
"Hmm...what a coincidence, have you found a spot yet?"
"No, there are so many people here today. We have to wait a long time for a small table for two." After saying that, she looked at the middle table where Xu Manman and her group were sitting, which obviously had room for another seat.
"Manman, you still have a seat available, can you let me share the table with my second sister?"
Now that things have come to this, Xu Manman couldn't refuse, "...Okay."
After they sat down and asked the waiter to take their order, they noticed that besides Xu Manman and her cousin, there was also a strange man at the table. "Hey, who is this?"
Cai Mei: Yang Yang is blind. She saw it as soon as she came in.
They were sitting at a round table, with Yang Yang sitting on Xu Manman's right and Chen Ming on Xu Manman's left. In this way, Jin Zichu was sitting next to Cai Mei.
As the middleman, Xu Manman introduced the two parties. "This is Comrade Jin Zichu, a good friend of my cousin and me. These two are my roommates, Yang Yang and Cai Mei."
The two sides nodded and greeted each other. Jin Zichu was dressed politely and low-key today. Soon, after greeting each other, the second and fifth brothers' attention was no longer on him.
Cai Mei asked Xu Manman, "Manman, didn't you say you were going to your uncle's house today? Have you decided on a return date? Can you stay and attend Xiaochun's wedding?"
She didn't return to the dormitory for two days and didn't see the note left by Xu Manman.
Xu Manman shook her head. "I went this morning. My uncle bought the ticket for tomorrow morning. But I moved out this afternoon. We have a yard here, so I might not live in the dormitory next semester."
Yang Yang was so shocked that his voice became louder, "Ah? Youngest, you won't live in the dormitory next semester??"
This movement attracted the attention of the people around. Xu Manman nodded and apologized to the people around her embarrassedly, patted Yang Yang's leg, and signaled her to speak in a lower voice.
Chen Ming, who was watching from the opposite side, couldn't help but frown.
Yang Yang also realized that something was not right. After all, this was a Western restaurant, different from a cafeteria. He covered his mouth and waited for Xu Manman to explain.
"I only found out about this when my uncle came over last time. The yard is still under renovation and people won't be able to officially move in until next semester."
"Wow, your family actually has a yard in Beijing. This is the capital. No matter where it is, we can come and visit you when we are free." Yang Yang exclaimed in a low voice.
"It's in xx Hutong, not too close to the school. Everyone is welcome to come anytime."
Cai Mei, who was beside Yang Yang, had her eyes flashing. At the beginning, she was afraid of getting lost, so she studied the map of Beijing and had an impression of the place Xu Manman mentioned.
Now I am not a newbie who just came to Beijing and know nothing. I have a little knowledge of the value of real estate in Beijing. Houses in that location are definitely not cheap, and houses are now priced out of stock.
The fourth brother Li Xiaochun's fiancé was able to get a room in a tube-shaped building of about 20 square meters, which was a great asset in the eyes of the third brother.
And Xu Manman was talking about a yard, which meant it definitely had more than just one room. It could be a small bungalow with three or four rooms, or even bigger. Cai Mei looked up at Xu Manman who was chatting happily with Yang Yang. The youngest in their dormitory, as an outsider, could own a yard in Beijing. His family background was much better than she had imagined.
Cai Mei smoothed her hair and casually glanced at the two men at the table. Since they sat down, the two men had not said anything else. Now they were sitting quietly waiting for the ladies to chat.
Cai Mei first looked at Chen Ming, Xu Manman's cousin, whom she would meet occasionally. He was tall, good-looking, and well-dressed. Every time he came to pick up Xu Manman, he would attract the attention of countless girls. Judging from his behavior, he didn't seem to have any special feelings for them.
