An Yan didn't expect Wen Jiaer to bring her to such a grand and luxurious place for dinner, which shows that he is quite sincere.
Wen Jiaer motioned for An Yan to go up the stairs first and said, "My finances are limited, so I can't book the whole place, but fortunately not many people come here. I heard that there are only two of us at the moment."
An Yan signaled him not to think so, and said: "Actually, it doesn't matter where you eat, there's no need to go to so much trouble."
"That's different. This is my way of thanking you, so it has to be more formal. I don't know how else to thank you, so I can only do this. If you need my help in the future, I will do my best." Wen Jiaer said as he pulled a chair for her.
An Yan sat down first, and then said to Wen Jiaer: "You don't have to be so serious, we are all friends."
"You are helping me like this because of Rong Sen, right?" Wen Jiaer asked her.
This is of course not true, but it is also a good excuse, so An Yan did not refute it, but just said: "We are all friends now, so there is no need to be too polite."
"Then I'll invite you and Rong Sen to dinner some other day."
An Yan nodded slightly.
The waiter came up and brought the dishes to the two of them, and asked, "Excuse me, do you two need any music?"
"No, thank you." An Yan interrupted and refused.
"Why, you don't like listening to piano, or violin?"
"I'm more interested in classical instruments." An Yan told him directly.
"I can play the erhu, but I'm not very good. Give me a chance to show off some other day." Wen Jiaer gestured to An Yan to try the food first.
Erhu, he used to play this instrument to entertain her. His playing was average but not bad. I wonder if he has made any progress in this life.
I heard Wen Jiaer ask again: "Do you play a classical instrument?"
“I know a little bit, but I’m not good at it.”
At this time, I heard a quarrel at the front desk, but I didn't know who was making the noise.
The waiter came over and said apologetically: "I'm so sorry, we will take care of it right away."
"What happened?" An Yan asked.
"It's the guests who want to listen to the pipa, but this is a Western restaurant and we never play any classical music, which makes us feel very embarrassed."
"Why don't you stop that customer? He seems to be hitting that girl." Wen Jiaer frowned.
The waitress originally thought that she would only need to give a brief explanation, but she did not expect them to ask so many detailed questions. She also followed to see, but saw that An Yan had already stood up and walked over. She realized from a distance that the girl looked familiar.
It was indeed Xia Zimei.
Xia Zimei was also slightly surprised to see An Yan, and couldn't help but shout, "Sister Yichen."
"You are a student, why are you playing here?"
"I just want to save some money." Xia Zimei lowered her head.
The store manager said, "Why, you know each other?"
An Yan looked at the customer who made the complaint and found that he was a man in his forties. He looked decent and said, "She is just a student. You don't have to embarrass her."
"He was the one who touched me, and I didn't want to, so he made an excuse that I couldn't play the pipa and wanted to complain about me." Xia Zimei knew An Yan's ability, and she didn't expect to meet her. Now that she had met her, she should tell the truth.
An Yan said to Xia Zimei, "You go back first and don't come here to work anymore. I'll go to school to see you in a few days."
Xia Zimei nodded slightly. She turned to leave, but the man grabbed her arm.
An Yan immediately picked up a plate and hit the man's hand, then said to him, "Let her go, or I'll cut off one of your hands."
The man said angrily: "Why do you want to mind your own business? Do you know who I am?"
Before An Yan could do anything, she saw that the man had already fallen down. Wen Jiaer was standing behind him. He handed the store manager a business card and said, "If anything happens later, tell him to come to me."
The store manager took the business card tremblingly, then nodded repeatedly and said, "Please take a seat and enjoy your dinner. We will take care of this."
Wen Jiaer said to An Yan: "Let's go, don't worry about them."
An Yan nodded and went back to her seat with Wen Jiaer. She said, "So you know some Kung Fu."
"I have been exercising since I was a child, and I also learned some self-defense skills to strengthen my body. I thought it would help my illness, but it didn't work." Wen Jiaer said, while taking away the red wine in front of An Yan, and said, "It's better not to drink. No matter what kind of wine it is, it's not necessarily good for the body."
"I don't like drinking either." An Yan nodded, and she started cutting the beef.
The two of them were chatting happily and didn't notice Yan Qingqiu and Li Rongsen coming over.
This restaurant was chosen by Yan Qingqiu. Although there were other guests present today, he didn't mind. He came here purely for the food. But he was sharp-eyed. As soon as he sat down, he noticed that there was someone sitting in the corner near the window, and it was an acquaintance.
Yan Qingqiu said to Li Rongsen who had just sat down: "Hey, look, it's An Yan."
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Li Rongsen turned around to look, and saw An Yan and Wen Jiaer, both with smiles on their faces. They must be very happy. This made him feel like a stab in the heart.
Yan Qingqiu said, "Hey, let's go over and sit together. It will be more lively when we have more people."
"Sit down." Li Rongsen ordered him in a low voice.
Yan Qingqiu didn't understand what he meant and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Don't disturb them, we'll eat our own food. You can order whatever you want today." Li Rongsen said as he threw the menu in front of him.
"Since we've met, why don't you go and say hello?" Yan Qingqiu thought Li Rongsen was really weird.
Li Rongsen frowned and said, "If they had invited you and me to have dinner together, there would be no need for you to come alone."
Yan Qingqiu didn't think too much about it at first, but after what he said, it seemed to make sense, so he didn't go over and said, "It's really interesting. It seems that An Yan is not likely to eat with other men. We are friends in need, and we have only known that man for a few days."
"Maybe it's fate."
"That's hard to explain." Yan Qingqiu felt that fate was the most frustrating thing, and it was hard to explain. Maybe they were really destined to have some feelings for each other.
Li Rongsen's mood plummeted. He always felt that something would happen today, but he didn't expect that it was waiting for him here. He was a little confused. Why did An Yan take so much care of him and insist on treating him when Wen Jiaer just came? Her concern and care were not like hers.
Yan Qingqiu had already ordered the dishes. Seeing Li Rongsen in a daze, he asked him, "Hey, what are you thinking about? Even if An Yan is in a relationship, it's not a bad thing."
"Can you stop talking nonsense? How could she be in love with him?" Li Rongsen immediately retorted.
Yan Qingqiu didn't understand why Li Rongsen was angry. He raised his eyebrows slightly and then said, "I just said it casually. I didn't say that she must be in love with that boy."
"When are you going to ask her?" Li Rongsen didn't dare to ask himself, so he instigated Yan Qingqiu to ask.
Yan Qingqiu looked at Li Rongsen's face and said, "I don't care about this. I won't ask."
Li Rongsen motioned for him to start eating, and then he turned to look at An Yan's side, only to find that the table over there was empty. Unable to help but feel anxious, he turned back to look at Yan Qingqiu and said, "Hey, they're gone. Did An Yan tell you where she sleeps today?"
Yan Qingqiu forked up a piece of beef and stuffed it into his mouth, saying, "What's wrong with you? You seem to be having epilepsy. Can you please eat properly first?"
"I'm worried about An Yan's safety."
"She's an adult, and who can hurt her?" Yan Qingqiu asked him back.
Li Rongsen admitted that he was just jealous.
