Han Lei is only 24 years old. While in college, he won several major awards in the field of architecture. As a result, after graduation, the school directly retained him and made him a teacher.
He actually had the opportunity to study abroad, but perhaps he was used to a free and easy lifestyle, so he felt comfortable being a teacher at school and doing some design work in his spare time.
Although he was easygoing, his lectures were insightful and engaging, making him very popular with his students. Luo Chunlei practically idolized him.
Han Lei also liked Luo Chunlei quite a bit. Upon seeing him, he immediately stopped his bicycle by bracing himself on the ground with his feet and smiled warmly, "You're at school so early!"
Then his gaze swept over Lin Xiaocui, and his smile deepened. "No wonder, is this your boyfriend?"
Tsinghua University is a school with a strong academic atmosphere, but its romantic atmosphere is not weak either. The school is very lenient towards campus romances, and generally will not stop them as long as they do not affect studies.
Luo Chunlei blushed. "Not yet! She's in the finance department."
"Then you'd better keep it up!" Han Lei patted him on the shoulder, got on his bicycle, and rode away.
Teachers and students usually only nod to each other. For someone like Han Lei to stop and say a few words to a student is already quite good.
Of course, when teachers encounter students they particularly like, they will invite them to their homes for in-depth conversations to understand the students' future plans. Who doesn't want their students to succeed? It's a matter of pride to talk about it.
Luo Chunlei watched Han Lei's retreating figure and reluctantly came back to his senses.
Lin Xiaocui had already become quite familiar with the old man in the mailroom, and he had agreed to lend her the tricycle at the entrance.
Luo Chunlei looked at her with admiration. Lin Xiaocui was always like this; she would do whatever came to mind immediately, regardless of whether she would fail or not.
However, there was one thing he wasn't sure about: what was she really thinking? Did she actually like Wang Xu?
Or perhaps, she has some feelings for him.
Sigh, girls' thoughts are so hard to guess. What if he confesses his feelings rashly, and she actually likes Wang Xu? It would be awkward for them to get along in the future.
Let's leave it at that and maintain the status quo.
Just as he was in a daze, Lin Xiaocui waved in front of him and invited him to take a walk by the lake.
That's the most beautiful place on campus, where many young men and women stroll together, admiring the shimmering lake and chatting.
Luo Chunlei is quite interested in architectural art. In addition to studying the traditional buildings in Beijing, he also admires Western architecture.
His greatest wish is to one day visit Europe and see other civilizations.
Lin Xiaocui, on the other hand, was more interested in making money and keenly sensed that the national economic situation would undergo major changes in the near future.
She wants to seize this opportunity to make money.
The two spoke freely, saying whatever they wanted without any reservations.
He only hurriedly walked towards the dormitory building with a smile when the curfew bell rang.
The next day, they borrowed a tricycle from the mailroom, loaded all the packages onto the tricycle, and then rode it to the courtyard house.
Tsinghua University is about seven or eight kilometers away from the courtyard house. Luo Chunlei rode slowly and it took him about forty minutes to get there.
The high threshold blocked the tricycle from entering, so Lin Xiaocui quickly called Lin Ye out.
Lin Ye and Luo Chunlei hurriedly unloaded the things and carried them into the house, one trip after another.
The others held the baby and watched from the side, occasionally offering a few words of advice.
After the move was finished, Lu Wanqing said with a smile, "Let's go eat roast duck for lunch today since everyone's here."
Lin Xiaocui's eyes lit up when she heard about Peking duck. Her classmates had told her that Peking duck was especially delicious as soon as she arrived in Beijing. She thought that she had about a thousand yuan in savings and wanted to have a meal with it. However, she found out that Peking duck was priced at a fixed price of twelve yuan per duck. If you dine in and have service, it would be sixteen yuan. She managed to resist the temptation and didn't buy any.
Let alone if she doesn't have a job, even if she does, eating roast duck once can take up a quarter to a third of her salary, which is a considerable expense!
But seeing that there were still plenty of people eating in the restaurant, she became very suspicious about who was eating there.
There are so many rich people in Beijing!
"Sister-in-law, roast duck is quite expensive. Let's eat something else!" Lin Xiaocui said somewhat nervously, worried that Lu Wanqing might not know the price.
There are many state-run restaurants in Beijing, and quite a few are affordable. Braised pork costs only one yuan a bowl, which is much cheaper than eating Peking duck.
Lu Wanqing smiled and said in an unquestionable tone, "It's not like we eat here often. Since we're in the capital, of course we have to try the local delicacies!"
Since the person hosting the dinner was wealthy and generous, Lin Xiaocui didn't say anything more and happily carried her baby out.
There was a roast duck restaurant nearby, and the group set off in a grand procession, which was quite a sight.
When they arrived at the roast duck restaurant, it was probably still early, and there weren't many people inside yet. They found a large table and sat down.
There were six adults and three babies. Since there were no special baby chairs, Lu Wanqing, Lin Chunhua, and Zhao Xiaolan were each holding one.
Lu Wanqing ordered two roast ducks and some sesame seed cakes.
Along with the roast duck, there are also rolled pancakes. People are used to wrapping sliced duck meat in rolled pancakes to eat, but eating duck meat sandwiched in a flatbread is also a way to eat it.
Fearing there wouldn't be enough food, Lu Wanqing ordered another plate of fried duck gizzards and livers, a serving of braised duck heart, and a duck bone soup.
During meals, Lin Ye and Lin Xiaocui both took turns holding the baby and eating together. The family chatted and laughed, enjoying each other's company.
At this moment, at the next table, a young woman in her early twenties, dressed in a red dress, her face heavily made up and lipstick applied, looked at Lu Wanqing with an arrogant gaze and said irritably:
"Can you please stop letting the baby cry? It's driving me crazy. You have no manners at all, bringing your child along to eat roast duck!"
Lin Ye was comforting Miao Miao when he accidentally bumped her arm, causing her to cry. He felt terrible for her, and now he was being talked about like that by someone else. He picked up Miao Miao and stood up abruptly.
Lu Wanqing quickly pressed Lin Ye down. She knew that it was best not to get into conflicts with others in the capital, but if someone came to her, she didn't need to be a coward.
She stepped forward, smiled sweetly at the girl, and said, "You're so well-mannered, can't you speak properly?"
"When you were talking so loudly just now, why didn't you say that you were disturbing others?"
She had already heard the laughter coming from this side; it was incredibly arrogant.
When you go out to eat, the point is to have a good time; every meal involves lively conversation.
The girl got angry when she heard that Lu Wanqing showed no remorse whatsoever.
“We were just having a normal chat, what’s wrong with that? I bring my friends here to eat every week, and this is the first time I’ve seen someone bring a baby like you.”
“If you haven’t seen it, it only proves that you’re ignorant!” Lu Wanqing refused to back down.
