“Okay, welcome to come.” Song Lili readily agreed.
Liang Yulin still found it incredibly surprising. "Song Lili, I never knew you had this ability!"
"I never thought you were so amazing before. I never imagined I had someone like you in my life. Now I can brag about it when I go out."
Song Lili: "..." Friend, what are you thinking about? Why are you so different from everyone else?
Liang Yulin was more composed. She only glanced at Song Lili, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, but made no other expression.
Dong Xiaocui's expression was the most complicated. She looked at Song Lili with surprise, disbelief, shock, and a little bit of inferiority, resentment, and jealousy in her eyes.
Her heart was filled with mixed feelings, a mixture of sweetness, bitterness, and everything in between.
When she first heard that Song Lili was from the countryside, she was happy, feeling that she had finally found someone like herself.
That way, she won't be looked down upon, and she'll be able to have a friend.
But life later told her that this... really was a huge joke.
Song Lili's life was completely out of place for her; it was better than that of the other educated youth from the city. She felt ashamed of herself and didn't want to get close to Song Lili.
Therefore, he always keeps to himself and doesn't interact with others; he just studies every day.
Now, when I hear that Song Lili has started a successful business, my feelings of inferiority resurface.
Looking at the other people in the dormitory, she felt that she was the only one who didn't fit in.
Although Song Lili is from the countryside, she doesn't resemble a rural person at all. Her clothing, appearance, even her lifestyle and way of speaking are just like those of city people.
If she didn't say it herself, no one would guess that she was from the countryside; everyone would think she was from the city.
She lacked the timidity of rural people, as well as their pettiness, and her demeanor was completely unlike that of a typical rural person.
But she clearly comes from the countryside.
That's really unfair!
Song Lili, who was chatting and laughing with Liang Yulin, really had no idea that Dong Xiaocui's feelings were so complicated.
She looked at the others happily and said, "Then I'll treat you all to dinner another day, and then come to my house to try my multigrain pancakes, how about that?"
Now that everyone knows, the situation seems a bit better.
"Okay, that's exactly what I've been waiting for. I'm going to make sure you get a good beating." Liang Yulin said happily immediately.
Zhao Honghong nodded in agreement, "Okay, thank you in advance."
Although she is taciturn, she still knows the basics of social etiquette.
Only Dong Xiaocui kept her head down, offering no response.
Song Lili didn't care; as long as she didn't forget Dong Xiaocui during dormitory group activities, she would make sure to include her.
As for private matters...
Let's see, what if it's another Fan Lijuan?
So, the dinner arrangement was settled.
Once Song Lili decided to treat everyone, she immediately put it into practice.
After class in the afternoon, she took Xiaohui to find Zhang Qinghua. "You take the child home first, and pick up Xiaochen as well. I'm going to have dinner with some people from the dormitory."
Song Lili said, tucking the child into Zhang Qinghua's arms.
"Eat? Not going home?" And what about me? What about the children? What about our dinner?
You can take us with you when you go out to eat!
Zhang Qinghua was genuinely stunned for a moment, feeling that nothing like this had ever happened before. How could Song Lili suddenly abandon them?
"Okay, we're not going home. You take the kids to eat. Buy them whatever you like to eat."
At this moment, Song Lili looked exactly like a man who neglects his family, and she spoke with a blank expression.
Zhang Qinghua: "..."
Finally, seeing that Song Lili really didn't intend to take them along, Zhang Qinghua reluctantly replied, "Okay, I understand." His lips were tightly pursed.
Zhang Qinghua left with the child, and Song Lili, like a bird released from its cage, immediately went to find Liang Yulin.
"Are you all packed? Let's go, I'm starving!" Song Lili shouted as she pushed open the dormitory door.
"Alright, alright, I've been waiting for you." Liang Yulin immediately jumped up and said, looking like he was ready to leave right away.
"What about you guys?" Song Lili turned her head to look at the others.
Wang Mei, acting as the representative, immediately replied with a smile, "We're all ready now, we can go."
Actually, there's nothing to tidy up.
Each person only has one or two sets of clothes, which they usually change into, and they're all washed until they're almost white.
There really wasn't anything else to pack. Song Lili paid, and all they needed to do was show up.
"What do you want to eat?" Song Lili asked on the way.
"I want to go to the woods. I've heard the food there is delicious, and I've always wanted to try it, but I've never had the chance."
"Perfect timing, since you're treating everyone today, let's go there," Liang Yulin suggested enthusiastically.
The others were really unfamiliar with the area and had no idea what food was available outside.
Hearing this from the woods, Song Lili smiled slowly.
Isn't that Grandpa Lin's restaurant? I didn't realize it was so famous.
"Okay, let's go to the woods then. We'll have a good meal today," Song Lili said loudly, waving her hand, and then led them to the woods.
Once inside, Song Lili requested a private room, thinking that at least it would be more private and they could talk more freely.
Liang Yulin followed Song Lili, watching her make arrangements openly. He could tell from her demeanor that she was someone who frequented restaurants.
The other four people were unsure of what to do with their hands and feet.
Because Lin Mujian was unlike any other restaurant nowadays; it was decorated in a very high-end style, making poor people like them hesitant to enter.
Therefore, I hesitated at this point.
“Lili, this place… isn’t it expensive? How about we go somewhere else? This place…” Wang Mei looked around and said hesitantly.
Zhao Honghong chimed in, "The prices here are beyond our budget," implying that they should try another restaurant.
Fan Lijuan, holding Yan'er, looked around but didn't say anything, and Dong Xiaocui didn't say anything either.
Song Lili took in everyone's expressions before smiling and saying, "It's okay, let's stay here."
"The food here is really delicious. Since we've all come all this way, let's eat here."
"Let's make the most of this opportunity; it's a once-in-a-lifetime chance."
Although the prices here are really not cheap, she can still afford them.
Besides, even if it's really expensive, we can always ask Grandpa Lin for a discount.
When the others heard what Song Lili said, they didn't know what to say.
Wang Mei's face still showed hesitation, but she didn't know what to say, afraid of embarrassing Song Lili.
