Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Friends.
Buffet barbecue, lunch is 58 per person, just over 200 for four people.
Accustomed to eating barbecue buffets that cost more than 200 yuan per person, Ji Maili wondered if the meat was made of rat meat.
Looking at Tao Sijie and her brother each carrying two large plates of meat, Ji Maili muttered softly, "Is this edible?"
Shen Lu's plate was filled with beef and squid, both of which were Ji Maili's favorites. He grabbed the last two chicken wings from the aunt next to him and said, "It's edible. We come here often. It tastes pretty good. Go get the sauce."
Ji Maili habitually asked: "Help you fight?"
Shen Lu glanced at him, and the last chicken wing was snatched away by someone: "Okay."
Tao Dacheng also came over to get the sauce. Looking at the red mass in Ji Maili's bowl, Tao Dacheng felt amazing. "Hey, brother Lu, there are people who put fermented bean curd in sesame paste like you do."
Ji Maili paused holding the sauce.
This is his favorite way to eat it, not Chen Lu's. He finds it troublesome to make two different sauces, so every time Chen Lu eats barbecue with him, he asks him to make two of the same.
Shen Lu glanced at Tao Dacheng and said, "You talk too much."
After finishing the dish, Shen Lu saw that the sauce in front of him was not sesame paste with fermented bean curd, but sesame paste, some coriander and chopped green onion, with a little soy sauce and dry ingredients.
Chen Lu glanced at Ji Maili, but Ji Maili didn't look at him and lowered his head to stir his own ingredients.
Tao Sijie asked Ji Maili what she wanted to drink, and she said that juice and beer were free here.
Shen Lu said: "He drinks juice."
Tao Sijie jumped off the stool and said, "Two glasses of juice, two bottles of beer, OK!"
Shen Lu stopped her, “Three glasses of juice, I don’t drink.”
Tao Dacheng looked at Chen Lu strangely, "What are you doing, pretending to be profound?"
Shen Lu said, "I have something to do tonight."
Tao Dacheng asked, "Is there a place tonight?"
Shen Lu put a few slices of beef and chicken wings on the grate, "Hmm."
Ji Maili didn't understand what they were saying. In the past, he was the one chatting with Chen Lu and no one else could interrupt, but now it was his turn.
Just say I can't come to eat with them. I'm in a bad mood and have no appetite at all.
Shen Lu put a piece of roasted meat on his plate and said, "Don't be in a daze."
Tao Sijie brought back the drink and sat next to Ji Maili, "Brother Mai Mai, let's add each other as friends."
Shen Lu smiled when he saw Ji Maili take out his cell phone.
Ji Maili glared at him and said, "What a joke."
Shen Lu said: “I thought you wouldn’t add it.”
If it were someone else, Ji Maili really wouldn't add it, but Tao Sijie was just a child, so it didn't matter whether she added it or not.
Shen Lu said rudely, "So you only play with children."
Ji Maili wanted to stuff the phone into his mouth!
Ji Maili added Tao Sijie. Tao Sijie clicked on his Moments and looked at him with disappointment. "Brother Mai Mai, why don't you have any Moments?"
Tao Dacheng laughed loudly, "I know, because he has no friends."
Ji Maili: “…”
Shen Lu kicked Tao Dacheng and said, "You're the only one with a big mouth?"
Ji Maili was like a bird with its neck strangled. Even if someone hit him in the sore spot, he had no way to refute. The reason was simple: he really had no friends. His only friend broke up with him two years ago, and the friends he made later also left his circle of friends after the incident in his family.
Shen Lu: "Let's add one too."
Ji Maili looked at Tao Sijie's circle of friends, and the first picture was a photo of Chen Lu squatting in someone's yard.
Ji Maili asked him: "Do you have a circle of friends?"
To this question, Tao Sijie would answer: "Yes, my brother often posts on WeChat Moments, and many people like his posts."
Chen Lu felt that the brother and sister's habit of answering questions quickly needed to be changed.
Ji Maili slammed his phone down on the table and said, "No."
Chen Lu: “…” He knew it!
Ji Maili picked up the meat from the plate, took a bite, and then spat it out. "It's not tasty."
After taking a sip of the juice, which was mixed and had a taste of preservatives, Ji Maili frowned and said, "The juice doesn't taste good either. I won't eat it anymore."
Shen Lu picked up another piece of meat for him and said, "Don't make trouble."
Ji Maili shouted: "Am I looking for trouble?"
Shen Lu coaxed him in a gentle voice: "The piece of meat you just had is cold, try the freshly grilled ones, you can eat both beef and chicken wings, and you can also eat squid that you like. If you don't like Juice, I'll go out and buy it for you."
Tao Dacheng picked up a piece of meat and was about to put it in his mouth, but he was stunned when he heard Shen Lu's words. He looked at Shen Lu with his mouth open.
He had known Chen Lu for such a long time, but he had never seen him be so patient with anyone, let alone this person was Ji Maili!
Tao Dacheng drank a sip of beer to calm his nerves, "Brother Lu, I also want to drink the juice I bought outside."
Shen Lu immediately lost his friendship: “Go buy it yourself.”
Tao Sijie followed suit and said, "Brother, I want to drink the juice outside too."
Shen Lu said, "Let your brother buy it."
Tao Dacheng smacked his lips, and Tao Sijie followed suit. Tao Sijie said, "Brother only favors Brother Mai Mai."
Ji Maili said to Tao Sijie, "What a weird word!"
Tao Sijie spread her hands and straightened her shoulders, "Brother Mai Mai is really not romantic."
Shen Lu stood up and was about to buy some juice, but Tao Dacheng grabbed him and said, "Wait a minute, you can go buy some juice, but can you please help me solve this problem first?"
Tao Dacheng pointed at Chen Lu and Ji Maili back and forth, "What is your relationship? Why have I been feeling awkward since just now, as if you two have been reunited after seven years of divorce?"
Ji Maili never thought that one day he would not dare to tell others "Chen Lu is my friend", but what the hell is a seven-year divorce?!
He frowned at Tao Dacheng and said, "Are you sick? You've only been divorced for seven years."
Tao Dacheng was stunned by the scolding, "It was just a joke, why are you so anxious?"
Chen Lu pressed Ji Maili's head, and Master Ji, who had exploded out of nowhere, immediately quieted down.
Shen Lu: "We are friends."
Ji Maili looked up at Chen Lu, and Chen Lu also looked at him, "Right?"
Looking at his "friend" who had been lost and found again, Ji Maili gritted his teeth and pushed his hand away. His nose felt sore and his tears almost flowed out of control.
"Friend?" Tao Dacheng pointed at Ji Maili. "He's been giving you trouble for a year. The whole school knows you two are at odds. You don't even have his WeChat ID, and now you're telling me you two are friends?"
Shen Lu was too lazy to explain: “Yeah.”
Tao Dacheng nodded. "So, you were the one who deliberately locked Zhou Bingcheng in the men's restroom, and you also beat up Wu Le and Li He, right?"
Shen Lu really wanted to knock him out with a wine bottle, "Eat yours."
Before Shen Luren left, Tao Dacheng began to ask Ji Maili, "Are you two really friends? Have you ever had any conflicts before? You two..."
Chen Lu was so annoyed with Tao Dacheng that he pulled Ji Maili up and said, "Come with me."
Across the street was the juice shop. Ji Maili lowered his head and walked forward slowly. Just as he was about to pass the limit, Shen Lu followed him and called out, "Maimai."
Ji Maili ignored him.
Shen Lu grabbed him and saw that his lips were pursed, his eyes were wide open, and tears were falling down.
To be honest, the sight of him shedding tears from his dark face was truly hilarious, and Shen Lu tried hard not to be rude.
Chen Lu: "How old are you and still so crybaby?"
Ji Maili shook off his hand: "It's none of your business."
Shen Lu understood that the young master was feeling wronged and uncomfortable, but he didn't intend to persuade him. "Then you cry here for a while, and I'll buy you some juice?"
Ji Maili turned his head, and although he didn't say anything, Chen Lu knew that he agreed.
Ji Maili cried for a while, then turned around and saw Shen Lu queuing up to look at him. He said fiercely, "Hurry up!"
Shen Lu pointed at the people in front and said, "They're waiting in line. Why don't you come over and wait?"
Ji Maili had cried enough, and walked over with red eyes. She glanced at the price list and asked, "What did you buy?"
Shen Lu: "Pineapple juice, you like it."
Ji Maili frowned, "Apple juice will be fine."
Apple juice is only twelve dollars, and pineapple juice is twenty-five dollars.
Shen Lu said, "It's a very large cup."
Ji Maili felt ashamed when Shen Lu saw through his thoughts. "Who asked that? I just want to drink apple juice."
Shen Lu: "Then buy another cup?"
Ji Maili glared at him, "Are you sick?"
"Nothing." Shen Lu smiled and took out his phone. "Really not adding a friend?"
"No." Ji Maili turned his head and muttered, "You already have new friends, why do you still want to add me?"
Ji Maili didn't add Chen Lu in the end.
He was afraid, afraid to see Shen Lu's circle of friends being too lively, which would make him look inferior.
This meal was not very enjoyable, but very filling. Shen Lu was like feeding a duck, wishing he could pinch his neck and stuff it into his mouth.
Coming out of the barbecue restaurant, Shen Lu said, "I'll take you home."
Tao Dacheng's face was full of confusion. "No way? He's not a woman. How can he need you to send him home?"
Two years ago, Ji Maili might have taken it for granted that he would send it, but now...
Ji Maili: "No need, I'll go back by myself."
Shen Lu found an excuse and said, "I feel a little uncomfortable after eating too much, so I'm giving it to you as a digestion aid."
Tao Dacheng rolled his eyes: "You didn't eat much at all, breeder."
Shen Lu glared over, "Do you have any questions?"
Tao Dacheng said frivolously, "That person is afraid of running into Sha Zu along the way."
Seeing how weak or young they were, Ji Maili, who had fought with Sha Zu and was defeated miserably but still had some experience, boldly believed that he was still very strong.
Ji Maili volunteered, "Let me take you there."
Tao Dacheng was about to say no when he was interrupted by Shen Lu: "Okay."
Tao Dacheng choked on the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
What the hell, does he need someone to give him Shen Lu?
