It's about a ten-minute walk from the west gate of the school. Ni Sitian sent a message to Xiang Zhilan, asking him to come and save the day.
She wanted to turn their dinner date into a simple thank-you dinner. Fortunately, Xiang Zhilan had helped her yesterday, and eating boiled live fish wouldn't give people any reason to have any impure thoughts.
When she arrived at the store, she found that Xiang Zhilan had not yet arrived, so she chose a seat in a corner.
This place is usually frequented by students, and it gets especially lively during mealtimes.
After sitting down, Yu Mingliang poured Ni Sitian a glass of water himself, then called the waiter over, asked for the menu, and handed it to Ni Sitian.
Ni Sitian handed it back, smiling slightly: "This meal is to thank you all. You can order."
Yu Mingliang was stunned for a moment, not understanding her words.
At this moment, Xiang Zhilan walked in and immediately went over to greet Ni Sitian.
"This is my friend Xiang Zhilan, and this is my classmate Yu Mingliang," Ni Sitian introduced the two to each other.
When Yu Mingliang saw Xiang Zhilan, he felt a little disappointed, realizing that Ni Sitian hadn't agreed to a date with him alone.
"Let's order. Let me see what I want to eat." Xiang Zhilan didn't stand on ceremony and simply took the menu and ordered a few signature dishes.
After the dishes were served, Ni Sitian raised her teacup to toast Zhi Lan and Yu Mingliang.
"Thanks to you all for clarifying this rumor so quickly. I'll offer you tea instead of wine as a token of my gratitude." Ni Sitian made her point very clearly, not wanting to leave any room for Yu Mingliang to misunderstand.
"Why are you being so polite with me?" Xiang Zhilan understood Ni Sitian's intentions as soon as she came in, and smiled, saying, "But you should thank Yu properly."
These words clearly distinguished between those close to her and those distant from her. Ni Sitian looked at Xiang Zhilan gratefully and said to Yu Mingliang, "Yes, it's all thanks to your technical analysis post yesterday. Finding the original image must have been difficult. Thank you so much."
Yu Mingliang then realized that Ni Sitian had misunderstood that he had posted the thread. He quickly waved his hand and explained, "I did want to post it yesterday, but I saw that there was already an analysis thread on the forum that was more comprehensive and detailed than mine, and it even included the original image, so I didn't post it."
These words startled Ni Sitian. If the analysis post that helped her clarify things wasn't posted by him, then who was it?
"No matter what, you deserve our gratitude for your kindness." Ni Sitian came back to her senses, smiled at him, and was still wondering who the person who helped her was.
Yu Mingliang blushed slightly as he looked at her smile.
Xiang Zhilan glanced at the blushing, innocent-looking boy, who probably still harbored feelings for Ni Sitian. She coughed lightly and asked, "Sitian, could it be that your boyfriend did this?"
Yu Mingliang's heart skipped a beat. What do you mean by "your girl"? Does she have a boyfriend? But I haven't seen her getting close to any boys at school.
Ni Sitian almost choked on Xiang Zhilan's words, but when she saw Xiang wink at her, she instantly understood that she had deliberately brought up Xu Tingchuan, which was a good way to prevent the misunderstanding from continuing.
So Ni Sitian replied, "Maybe. He mentioned it when we had lunch yesterday."
The embarrassment on Yu Mingliang's face slowly faded, and a hint of hurt flashed in his dark eyes, but he still asked, unwilling to give up, "Wasn't the one who drove to pick you up yesterday your brother?"
Ni Sitian shook her head, a faint smile playing on her lips: "He's my husband."
Yu Mingliang's expression turned to surprise, "You're married?"
Ni Sitian nodded. She used to think that since she was still a student, it wasn't appropriate for her to announce that she was married.
Now she understands that she had been running away all along, pretending to be single when she was already married, which was very unfair to Xu Tingchuan.
