Hearing Yue Jiaoyang praise her younger brother so highly, Chen Niannian felt a surge of pride, without even looking at whose name it was.
"I know that, but the better schools don't accept adult self-study students for computer science majors anymore, so I don't know where he can study." Chen Niannian didn't expect that it would be so difficult to get into computer science now. Thinking about how computer training schools used to be everywhere, Chen Niannian felt extremely nostalgic.
“That’s a minor issue. I have a teacher who just started a computer college. Let’s see if Li Zhiqiang can get in next year.” Yue Jiaoyang happened to know about this kind of resource.
"That's wonderful! This matter has been weighing on my mind, and I never expected you to resolve it like this." Chen Niannian was genuinely happy that her younger brother could finally realize his dream of studying computers.
"Let's have lunch together, are you free?"
Faced with Chen Niannian's invitation, Yue Jiaoyang would put aside even the most important matters.
"Of course I'm free. I'll treat you to lunch."
“Wenjing is treating today, and Li Mengmeng is also there. They’re all acquaintances, so let’s go together,” Chen Niannian said.
It wasn't supposed to be a date for just the two of them, but having a meal with Chen Niannian would be enough. Thinking about how he would have more free time to spend with her during his university years, Yue Jiaoyang knew there was no rush.
Chen Wenjing and Li Mengmeng came to the library to have lunch with Chen Niannian. They were both a little surprised to see the two walking side by side.
Chen Niannian spoke up to explain, "We just met at the library, let's have lunch together."
"I had dinner with the most handsome guy in high school. Won't that make a lot of people jealous of me?" Li Mengmeng said exaggeratedly.
"It's my honor to have lunch with three beautiful girls. I'll treat you to lunch." Yue Jiaoyang was the most good-natured among Chen Niannian's close friends.
“I’m your senior, we’ve known each other for a long time, consider this a welcome dinner for you,” Chen Wenjing said with a smile. She knew about the Yue family’s current situation and didn’t want the young man to spend money.
"Then I'll gladly accept your invitation. I'll invite you next time," Yue Jiaoyang said gently.
"Let's go check out the cafeteria first. I've heard the food there is pretty good," Chen Niannian suggested.
“Yes, let’s go check out the cafeteria first. We haven’t had a proper tour of the school yet,” the curious Li Mengmeng agreed.
"My God, you don't cherish the opportunity to eat out. You'll definitely get sick of eating in the cafeteria in the future," Chen Wenjing thought, feeling utterly uninterested after eating in the cafeteria for two years.
However, seeing how enthusiastic her two younger sisters were, she decided to take them on a tour. Based on her past experience, she knew that even if they went there, there wouldn't be any seats, and they would have to eat outside.
Yue Jiaoyang naturally had no objections; wherever Chen Niannian said to go, they would go.
The dining hall at Kyoto University has two floors. The lower floor is the general dining hall, and the upper floor is for stir-fries and private rooms. They happened to go during mealtime, and it was so crowded that there was no room to stand at all.
Chen Niannian glanced at the long queue and gave up on eating in the cafeteria. As she walked out, she inwardly berated herself, thinking, "It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but hard to go from extravagance to frugality. It's only been a few years, and I don't even want to queue anymore."
"Hahaha, I knew it! Come on, little brothers and sisters, let's follow me." Chen Wenjing said smugly.
Then she quickly walked ahead and led them to the "food street" outside the school.
Although they call it a food street, the teachers all call it "garbage street" because it's full of junk food, the street is very unsanitary, littered, and covered in grease.
But the students just love eating there.
It was lunchtime, and the streets were lined with stalls, bustling with people, and filled with the sounds of vendors calling out their wares.
In reality, students don't have much money. The food on the street is pretty much the same: rice bowls, specialty noodles, Tianjin snacks, tomato noodles, stir-fried noodles, and the like.
Chen Wenjing was indeed a regular here. She arrived at a place called "Little Shop". It looked unremarkable from the outside and had a narrow entrance, but inside it was a hidden world with one private room after another. There was no main hall, so it had a lot of privacy.
The four of them sat down, and Chen Wenjing fluently ordered the dishes.
"Sister Wenjing, you seem to be a regular here," Chen Niannian asked.
"This place has really good food, and it's also great value for money, and it's clean and hygienic." Chen Wenjing skillfully picked up the menu.
"You managed to find such a hidden spot; you must have eaten your way through this whole street, right?" Li Mengmeng asked.
“You’re a foodie, but don’t assume everyone else is. This is what Liu Geng recommended to me.” Chen Wenjing started writing down the menu herself.
Mentioning Liu Geng, Chen Niannian suddenly interrupted and asked, "Sister Wenjing, I see that you are very familiar with him, and his attitude towards you was very different just now, could it be..." Chen Niannian deliberately dragged out her words, but everyone understood what she meant.
"Pah, you dare to joke about me? Your aunt has forbidden me from dating during college. I'm a good, obedient child," Chen Wenjing said exaggeratedly. "But Liu Geng is a very nice person. Although his family is from the countryside and their conditions are average, he never tries to take advantage of others. When classmates eat together, even if it's splitting the bill, he always pays first and never complains."
Chen Niannian thought to herself, "He's someone who likes to pretend to be generous, and he's only willing to spend time and money on people who are useful or beneficial to him."
As Liu Geng often said, "You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub," and "Don't waste your efforts on useless people."
Wasn't Chen Niannian also deceived by his outward appearance? She thought he was kind-hearted and of noble character despite his humble origins. But what happened? It turns out that only a dog that doesn't bark will bite.
"Wenjing, Auntie is right. Even if you want to date, you have to keep your eyes open." Chen Niannian couldn't say too much, but seeing the look on Chen Wenjing's face, no one would believe there was nothing going on between them. From now on, she would have to keep a close eye on her cousin. Liu Geng, that scumbag, shouldn't be allowed to harm the people around her again.
"How old are you? What nonsense are you talking about? Eat your food properly," Chen Wenjing said angrily.
"Okay, okay, I got it."
As the group entered the small restaurant, Huang Guanggan secretly clenched his fist.
He was basking in the joy of having dinner with Chen Niannian the next day, but as soon as he stepped onto the street, he saw Chen Niannian and her group of four, along with... Yue Jiaoyang!
Huang Guanggan felt a tightness in his chest. So that's why Chen Niannian refused to have lunch with him—she wanted to have lunch with this guy!
