To be honest, after two encounters with Zhu Weidong, Ji Ling really didn't want to get to know him because of his "arrogant" attitude. However, since the 500 yuan incident happened first, Ji Ling didn't want to be too harsh.
After she noticed Zhu Weidong and his group, she quickly turned her head away, pretending not to see them, and waited for the rain to stop before leaving.
Ji Ke's words attracted the attention of all of them, as if they were going to the zoo to see gorillas, and their eyes all fell on Zhu Weidong and the other two.
Zhu Yaowu felt that the gaze was as bright as a 200-watt light bulb, which was quite scorching.
He put down his chopsticks, turned his head and glared over, his chin raised high, looking back through his nostrils.
One man is worth many.
The situation here looks like "what are you looking at?" and "let's see what happens to you" as if a fight is about to break out at any moment.
The restaurant owner was a middle-aged man. He smiled and asked Ji Ling and her group, "Young comrades, do you want to eat?"
Ji Ling understood it as: If you don’t want to eat, get out.
"Do you think we are here to beg for food?" Lin Hai glared at Ji Ling hatefully and strode in.
Ji Ling: This child’s eyes are slanted. Is he looking in the wrong direction?
The boss was a businessman and didn't care about Lin Hai's sarcasm. He enthusiastically invited everyone to the table next to Zhu Yaowu and the others, and started to announce the names of the dishes.
"Pork in pot, chicken in mouth, braised pork, sweet potato with sugar, mutton hotpot, which one do you want?"
Ji Ling saw that Lin Hai's body swayed just as he was about to sit down, and he almost fell to the ground.
She held back her laughter, thinking the boss must have done it on purpose.
Zhu Yaowu, who was watching the fun from behind, said, "Oh, this is not cheap. Boss, you see they are all students, give them the cheapest dishes."
Ji Ling tried to hold back her laughter.
Then Zhu Yaowu said, "Ji Ling, please advise your friend not to be so stubborn and pretend to be great even though he can't afford to eat."
Feeling the angry glares coming from all around, Ji Ling said: Please say hello to your ancestors for me.
Chen Jingming was calm and not irritated by Zhu Yaowu. He asked the boss, "There are too many meat dishes. Do you have any vegetarian dishes?"
The boss said yes and told Chen Jingming about it.
Ji Ling looked at Ji Ke who was quietly advising Lin Hai beside him, "It's too expensive. Don't worry about what others think."
Lin Hai was young and full of energy. His face turned red when Zhu Yaowu shouted at him. Chen Jingming eased the mood and the matter was just suppressed. But after Ji Ke's persuasion, Lin Hai's ears turned red.
He was too proud to bow his head, so he waved his hand and said, "For the seven of us, serve all these dishes, plus two vegetarian dishes."
Ji Ke’s fire arch is really good.
Even Zhu Yaowu, who was warned by Zhu Weidong for being too talkative, turned around and gave Ji Ke a thumbs up.
Ji Ling seemed to hear the sound of Lin Hai gnashing his teeth.
Young people are just too proud of their appearance.
Everyone saw Lin Hai's eyes wide open, and no one dared to persuade him any further. Even Chen Jingming knew that he could not persuade him any more, so he nodded to the boss.
Ji Ke was frightened and sat quietly not daring to say anything more.
But when the dishes came, Ji Ling felt that everyone must have the same idea as her.
It smells so good.
The rain outside was getting heavier. The door was open and the wind blew in. The 100-watt light bulb in the hotel was shaking violently, giving the illusion of being on a boat.
The rain didn't stop after dinner. It was as if there was a hole in the sky and rain was pouring down from the hole.
Everyone sat at the dinner table looking outside. They were tired after a day of climbing the mountain and had eaten so much. The rainy day made people even more drowsy. Ji Ke and Chen Wanting leaned against each other, and they seemed to have fallen asleep.
Ji Ling asked the boss and went to the backyard to relieve herself.
This is a courtyard house. There is a restaurant in the front and the residence can be reached by walking through the corridor in the back. Ji Ling sat in the corridor and was in a daze.
Ji Ling was not surprised at all that he appeared here and said such words. She glanced at him with disdain and continued to watch the rain.
Zhu Yaowu sat down next to her, "What do you mean by that look?"
"You're not helping me vent my anger, you're just afraid that I won't be beaten to death by them."
Zhu Yaowu sighed.
Seeing that Ji Ling didn't say anything, he asked, "Is that why you don't care when I sigh?"
Ji Ling, "Did the sigh thunder not strike you?"
Zhu Yaowu laughed, "I was sighing why they didn't hit you."
"You are quite receptive."
Zhu Yaowu didn't understand, "What do you mean?"
Ji Ling looked at him with pity, "You've only been abused by me a few times, and you've gotten used to it?"
In the past, Zhu Yaowu was really angry with Ji Ling, but today, he could even laugh.
Zhu Yaowu: There were footsteps behind them again. They turned around and saw Lin Hai walking past them with his chin raised.
They watched the man return to the front room before they looked away.
Zhu Yaowu, "You're done."
Ji Ling hummed, "I'm done."
The feud with Lin Hai was established.
Zhu Yaowu turned his head to look at Ji Ling. He stared at her for a long time. Seeing that Ji Ling didn't look at him, he looked at Yu with boredom, "How can you become the top scorer in the college entrance examination like this?"
"Then what do you think the top scorer in the college entrance examination looks like?"
"He's well-mannered, wearing glasses, gentle and studious, but not like you anyway."
Ji Ling had nothing to do anyway, so she started bickering with him, "Oh, like your elder brother? Then your elder brother was the top scorer in the college entrance examination, right?"
Zhu Yaowu: He endured it and changed the subject, "Last time at your doorstep, your mother obviously didn't like you. She did something wrong and put the blame on you. Why didn't you fight back?"
"You obviously didn't want to give me money, but you still gave it to me. Why did you listen to your eldest brother?"
"It's none of your business."
Ji Ling said, "Oh, that means you are afraid of your elder brother. Why are you afraid? I guess it's because your elder brother has more power in the family than you."
"What rights are greater than mine? He is working now, but I am not."
"I think I should give you a general introduction to what power is. Power refers to the ability to guide or influence the behavior of others, or to affect the development of events. Your elder brother has it. He can control you to do things and prevent you from resisting. Just like what you did just now, your elder brother directly reprimanded you, and you didn't dare to resist. These decisions can change the trajectory of your life. This is power. You don't have it, but your elder brother does. If you want to resist him, you can work hard. If you have better power than him, you can control him."
Zhu Yaowu pondered, "That's really what you mean. All I want is power."
"That's good advice, but his grades are very poor. What he needs to do now is study instead of daydreaming."
Ji Ling looked at Zhu Weidong who had appeared behind them without them noticing: Do all of you with the surname Zhu like to appear and disappear mysteriously? Zhu Weidong dragged Zhu Yaowu away. From a distance, Ji Ling could still hear Zhu Weidong teaching his younger brother, "Your friend is right. Study hard from today on."
"That's not my friend."
"Your classmate?"
Zhu Yaowu: Dead face blindness.
Ji Ling: Very good. I am insulted by your disregard.
