Regarding Ding Ning's attitude and the reason for going out, Xia Qimo hesitated, but in the end he took out his wallet and gave her a wad of money.

Then he sat on the sofa in the living room, watching TV while observing the movement in Ding Ning's room.

Ten minutes later, Ding Ning changed into clothes and went out.

A baggy hoodie with a pair of ripped jeans, a baseball cap draped over his hair, and a shoulder bag slung across his body.

It's just that the lipstick color on the mouth is a bit oozing and it's black.

"Why do you wear lipstick of this color on a date with your sweetheart?"

Ding Ning raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, then brushed the broken hair in front of his forehead with his fingers, and replied unruly, "My sweetheart is just like this." ”

"The taste is so strong?"

Ding Ning tugged at the corners of his mouth, opened the door, and left.

Xia Qimo shook his head when he heard the sound of the door closing.

However, he couldn't help but wonder what the boy Ding Ning liked would be like.

Pierced ears and burning your head, looking like a hippie?

By the way, he stood up suddenly, "I forgot to ask her when she will be back, girls can't spend the night outside." ”

Thinking of this, he took out his mobile phone and sent a WeChat message to Ding Ning: I must come back before nine o'clock.

Unexpectedly, Ding Ning gave him a very disdainful expression, and he was very arrogant.

Xia Qimo: "......" little guy is quite horizontal!

Forget it, don't care about her, Xia Qimo looked at the time, he was going out too.

Since his family moved from City A to the imperial capital, Xia Qimo has been living alone, and Xia Qimo is very casual about his three meals a day.

When he was working, he usually settled in the company, and on weekends, he would order takeout or go to a restaurant he was familiar with.

Of course, sometimes I will get together with friends to chat and eat.

Today is planning a reunion with his childhood best friend Wu Jiang.

Originally, Xia Qimo wanted to take Ding Ning with him, but he didn't expect the little guy to have activities on his own.

Xia Qimo's meeting place with his old friends is on Gexin Road in the north of the city, which is where he has lived since he was a child, although his family has left City A, his house is still there, it is a villa, Xia Qimo is too big and far away from the company, so he bought another apartment.

When Xia Qimo drove out of the garage, she happened to see Ding Ning taking a taxi, she was casually dressed with a somewhat dark style of lips, which was very conspicuous from afar.

Ding Ning didn't see Xia Qimo, she took out her mobile phone as soon as she got in the car.

Today, Ding Ning temporarily said that he had a date with someone because he was angry with Xia Qimo, and after he came out, Ding Ning really wanted to ask someone out to talk.

Otherwise, in such a mood today, if you are really alone outside, wouldn't you be depressed to death.

But who is she going to date? She's not a local, and her friends like Fa Xiao are all in her hometown, City A, except for her classmates, there are a few people in the club.

Now most of the classmates have gone home, Li Xiaonuan, who is working.

After flipping through the address book, Ding Ning decided to give up, and at this time a WeChat message jumped out.

She clicked on it, and it was sent by her high school classmate Shu Xiaoyao.

"Ningzi, how are you doing with your part-time job?"

Before the holiday, Ding Ning told Shu Xiaoyao about his part-time job.

Shu Xiaoyao also went to school in City A, but she was at the University of Finance and Economics in the north of the city, while Ding Ning was in the south of the city.

After knowing that she had become a left-behind child, Ding Ning asked Shu Xiaoyao to accompany her to participate in social practice, but Shu Xiaoyao already had a summer vacation plan to travel with her roommates.

"I'm okay, I got a job as a tea girl, what about you, are you having a good trip?"

"Pleasant what, there are too many people who disagree and come back early. Shu Xiaoyao complained, "It's good to travel poorly, but the few people in our dormitory are afraid of hardship, so they toss my travel expenses back and forth, and I am now in school and preparing to work for the summer." ”

Ding Ning was immediately excited when he heard this, "Are you at school?"

"yes, I'm afraid I'll be nagged by my mother when I go back. ”

"Great, your friend, I'm lonely and lonely!"

……

An hour later, Ding Ning and Shu Xiaoyao successfully converged, Ding Ning took out the dating funds given by Xia Qimo and shook it in front of Shu Xiaoyao, "There is nothing more pleasant in life than meeting old acquaintances in another country, sister has money today, please have a big meal!"

"Paid?"

"Yes, our boss has a lot of money and stupidity, and he likes to pay us when he is happy. ”

After hearing this, Shu Xiaoyao was envious, naturally she did not doubt him, pointed to a street and said, "There is an old restaurant on Gexin Road, and it tastes very good." ”

"Let's go. ”

Gexin Road is a main street in the most prosperous commercial area of City A, there are many shops on both sides of the street, there are many restaurants, Shu Xiaoyao said that the old restaurant is located in the middle of Gexin Road, Chinese decoration style, the signature dish is the most famous sour soup pot in City A.

When Ding Ning and Shu Xiaoyao walked to the door of the store, there were already a group of people sitting in the waiting area at the entrance of the store, it seemed that the business of this restaurant was very hot and it was already full.

The food is worth the wait, although Ding Ning has not eaten for a day, she still wants to try the signature dishes of this restaurant.

So the two took the number and sat in the waiting area, chatting without stubble.

At this time, two more people came, and they also took the number and sat next to Ding Ning.

Ding Ning just subconsciously glanced at the person who came.

Uh, isn't this the senior Shen Xiu of their school? It's such a coincidence that after a meal, I can actually meet the male protagonist who is messing with Hao Huihui.

The other party also glanced at her.

Obviously, he also thought of Ding Ning.

"You seem to be this year's freshman Ding Ning?" he asked.

Shu Xiaoyao saw that someone was talking to Ding Ning, so she quickly turned her head to look, and saw that it was a tall and handsome guy, and hurriedly asked Ding Ning, "Who?"

"The seniors of our school. Ding Ning whispered to Shu Xiaoyao, and then greeted Shen Xiu, "Senior Shen is good." ”

"I remember that you are not from City A, why didn't you go back after the holiday?" he asked again.

Ding Ning was a little surprised, she and Shen Xiu were also members of the same club, and Ding Ning joined the club not because of Shen Xiu, but because she heard that she had to enter the club in college, so she added one casually.

After entering the club, she didn't participate in club activities well, and she didn't have much intersection with Shen Xiu, who was said to be the senior of the department.

Of course, it is difficult to intersect, Shen Xiu is always surrounded by a group of admirers, and she is a freshman who has never even stood five feet behind him on weekdays.

So Shen Xiu was able to know her name, and he also knew that she was not from City A, which made Ding Ning very surprised.

"How does Senior Shen know that I'm not from City A?" Ding Ning asked rhetorically.

Shen Xiu replied with a slight smile, "I've seen the roster of club members. ”

Oh, I see.

"Is this your friend?" Shen Xiu asked again.

Ding Ning had no choice but to introduce, "This is my high school classmate, also in City A, University of Finance and Economics." ”

Shu Xiaoyao was flattered and beckoned to Shen Xiu and said hi.

Shen Xiu also introduced his friends to Ding Ning and Shu Xiaoyao.

is also his high school classmate, who went to college in another province, and when he came back from the summer, the two of them went out to play.

"Senior Shen is from City A?" Shu Xiaoyao sniffed the information.

Shen Xiu nodded, "Yes, my family lives near here. ”

"The locals are so nice, not like we go back to school during the holidays like migratory birds, dragging suitcases to crowd buses and trains, as if we are fleeing the famine. Shu Xiaoyao is a person with a lively personality, and she chatted with Shen Xiu and them after a while.

On the contrary, Ding Ning became an outsider.

In fact, she deliberately made herself an outsider, because yesterday she said in front of Hao Huihui that the person she liked was Shen Xiu.

Now Shen Xiu himself is here, in case the world is so coincidental, Hao Huihui sees it, and then she comes to inquire and finally says, "Yo, you are the male god Shen Xiu that Ding Ning likes!"

Well, now she's a celebrity at their school.

A Xia Qimo makes her not a person now, if she likes Shen Xiu, then she may become the target of public criticism in school.

I heard that none of the senior sisters who have a crush on Shen Xiu are vegetarians.

Of course, in a third-rate university like Ding Ning, everyone is not a vegetarian.

Ding Ning looked at his nose and nose, and tried not to get involved in the topic of Shu Xiaoyao and Shen Xiu.

Unexpectedly, she wanted to stay away, but someone didn't let it go, and the high school classmate brought by Shen Xiu actually took the initiative to @ her, "Ah Xiu, this elementary school girl of yours is so shy, she doesn't say a word!"

Shu Xiaoyao laughed when she heard this, "You said Ning Zi is shy, I'm afraid you haven't seen her powerful, in our Puyang High School, she is the eldest sister." ”

What? Is Shu Xiaoyao crazy, when did she become the eldest sister?

She just taught the little sisters who had no seniors a lesson, and splashed ink on the little who slandered her everywhere.

In addition, she has always been a high school girl who studies hard and makes progress every day.

It's just that the results are not satisfactory.

"Oh, then I'm wrong, junior, you're not shy or cool, aren't you?" Shen Xiu's high school classmates were on the verge of death.

Ding Ning glanced at her.

In normal times, she just looked at it like this, and the meaning was vague.

But today, her fair face was covered with dark lipstick, which gave her some signs of danger.

Do you want to die!

The high school classmate retracted his neck.

Shen Xiu cast an admiring glance at Ding Ning.

"I didn't expect you to have such a personality, Ding Ning. He said.

Ding Ning: "......"

She pressed the brim of her hat and decided to clarify for herself, "Don't listen to Shu Xiaoyao's exaggerations, our high school is the focus of the city, and the style of study is very positive, and the teacher is also strictly managed." Of course, it is not true that my seniors say that I am shy, I am just hungry and don't have the strength to talk much. ”

"I'm hungry too. Shu Xiaoyao rubbed her stomach and agreed.

Seeing this, Shen Xiu stood up and asked the receptionist at the front desk of the restaurant, and after a while, he came back and said to Ding Ning, "There is a big table to be turned over soon, but for the sake of turnover, the restaurant only accepts customers with more than four people on the big table turnover." ”

"Ah!" Shu Xiaoyao frowned, "So we still have to wait? It's really a big bully, thinking that the two of us come over to eat and consume less?"

"Or," Shen Xiu suggested, "let's fight a table." ”

"This ......" Ding Ning wanted to refuse, but she was the first to come, and if she refused, it seemed that she didn't want others to take advantage of her.

But don't refuse, eat with two boys who are completely unfamiliar, how to order the dishes, how to settle the account, and, how embarrassing!

"Not very well!" Ding Ning could only say.

"What's not so good, it's rare to meet a student from the same school, I'll invite you today. Shen Xiu said as he reached out and took the number slip that Ding Ning had been holding in his hand, and then shook it towards the waiter, "There are four of us at this table." ”

Shu Xiaoyao immediately leaned into Ding Ning's ear and muttered: "There is such a handsome senior, please eat, Ningzi, you are not bad in your school market!"

"What, you're so charming. Ding Ning said and turned his head to look at Shen Xiu, who was about to enter the store, and thought to himself, forget it, let's get together the table, it should be a lively one.

Like many restaurants, this old restaurant on Gexin Road only has a fluorescent lamp directly above the table, and the daylight source is yellowed and covered with a lampshade, revealing a dark and quiet feeling as a whole.

The restaurant is divided into many sections, and there are only four tables between each area, so even if there are many people dining, they can go about their own business without worrying about it.

Ding Ning followed Shen Xiu and they found their own seats, and the two boys were very considerate and gave up the seats inside to Ding Ning and Shu Xiaoyao to sit.

If you don't know each other well, you have to be polite to some extent, Ding Ning said thank you.

"It's too much to say thank you, but we are also a club, so you should treat this as a club dinner. Shen Xiu pushed the menu in front of Ding Ning and said with a smile, "Whatever you like, order whatever you like." ”

Ding Ning raised his eyes and glanced at him, his smile was bright, his eyes were like water, and he was very gentle.

The reason why Shen Xiu can become the dream lover of thousands of girls may be due to his invincible smile, he really likes to laugh, and he is very gentle when talking to people, whether the other party is a big fat girl or a girl with a mediocre appearance, he can smile and treat gently.

Maybe this is personal cultivation.

Ding Ning thought of Xia Qimo, who is also a handsome guy, Xia Qimo's attitude towards women, except for being cold and picking bones in eggs, poisonous tongue and meanness without a trace of human touch!

The most serious thing is disrespect for women!

Hum!

Ding Ning slammed the table angrily.

"What's wrong?"

The three people at the table all looked at Ding Ning.

Ding Ning immediately made excuses for his misbehavior, "I want to eat all the dishes here, I'm so angry!"

The three of them laughed at the same time.

"Ding Ning, why are you so cute!" Shen Xiu's eyes turned into a crescent moon with a smile.

Shu Xiaoyao quipped, "Ning Zi is usually very funny, and she won't be boring with her." ”

"I think so, too. Shen Xiu looked at Ding Ning again.

Ding Ning tugged at the corners of his mouth and drank from a water glass.

They each ordered their favorite dishes, and then it was time to wait for dinner, Ding Ning felt that she was not familiar with Shu Xiaoyao, Shen Xiu and his friends, and if she chatted, she would probably say something about where your home is, how old are you this year, and other topics that will only be talked about like a blind date.

Shu Xiaoyao is very good at these topics, so leave it to her to complete, as for her.

Play with your phone.

As soon as he took out his mobile phone, Shen Xiu asked, "Ding Ning, are you not in our community's WeChat group?"

"Ah, yes. Ding Ning was a little confused, every time the club released the detailed rules of the activity and the paid solitaire in the group, she participated, and the group was real-name, why did Shen Xiu ask?

Next, when Shen Xiu took out his mobile phone to check, Ding Ning seemed to understand something.

He probably wanted to make friends with her so that she could give him the money for today's meal.

After all, the dishes in this old restaurant are a little expensive, and the meals they ordered just now add up to more than 300 yuan.

Ding Ning expressed her understanding, so she took the initiative to apply, "Senior Shen Xiu, let's add WeChat." ”

"Okay!" Shen Xiu agreed.

So, the four people at the table began to add friends to each other, and in general it was still a bit of a friendship.

……

The place where Xia Qimo and Fa Xiao Wujiang met was also an old restaurant on Gexin Road, and he drove over so he arrived half an hour earlier than Ding Ning.

While Ding Ning was waiting in line outside, Xia Qimo's table had already been served.

Old friends inevitably drink when they get together, and Xia Qimo pushed the car over.

"It's okay, I'll find you a substitute driver later. Wu Jiang said, motioning to the waiter to bring two bottles of beer.

Speaking of driving, Xia Qimo thought of the "tragic situation" when Ding Ning drove before, and laughed unconsciously.

"What are you laughing at?" Wu Jiang asked puzzled.

Xia Qimo shook his head and replied, "It's nothing, it's just that the kid I took care of helped me drive and hit a hole in my car's butt." ”

Xia Qimo took the initiative to mention Ding Ning, and Wu Jiang immediately asked, "By the way, it's a little girl who asked you to take care of it, right?"

"Yes, freshman. ”

"Why didn't you take her with you when you came out?"

"I said I had a date, and I went to see my sweetheart. ”

When Wu Jiang heard this, he frowned slightly, and kindly reminded Xia Qimo, "You can't be careless, other people's parents will leave her in your care, don't come back with a big belly when the time comes." ”

"You can have a big belly when you go out on a date?" Xia Qimo felt that Wu Jiang was sensational, and Ding Ning's attitude today seemed to be losing her temper with him, she might just be seeing an ordinary friend.

Wu Jiang saw that Xia Qimo didn't pay much attention to it, and reminded again, "Let me tell you, some little boys are so bad that they want to trick the little girl into opening a room with a few sweet words after a meal, and they won't be responsible afterwards." ”

"So ridiculous?"

"There are even more ridiculous," Wu Jiang said in a low voice, "some bad boys will put things in the drinks that girls drink, so that they will obediently listen to them. ”

Xia Qimo smiled undeniably, but he still took out his mobile phone and clicked on the software to check Ding Ning's whereabouts.

The positioning showed that Ding Ning was near him, and the distance in a straight line was less than three meters.

Well, what's going on?

He looked around.

"What's wrong?" Wu Jiang asked.

"The little one is here. ”

"Who, that little girl who lives in your house?"

Xia Qimo nodded, he turned his head to look at the other district, and saw Ding Ning coming in with Shen Xiu.

Then it was time to sit down and order, Ding Ning didn't know what was going on, and then she said something, and everyone else was laughing.

Wu Jiang also craned his neck to watch, and asked as he looked, "Who are these people who just came in, with long hair and short hair?"

The atmosphere of the restaurant seems to be peaceful, but in fact, every table is full of guests laughing, but everyone is immersed in their own little world, and they don't pay attention to the others.

Therefore, when Xia Qimo and Wu Jiang observed Ding Ning, Ding Ning, who was friends with Shen Xiu, did not notice it.

She still thinks that after the account is settled, she will transfer her and Shu Xiaoyao's share of the money to Shen Xiu.

"Is it long hair or short hair?" Wu Jiang asked again.

Xia Qimo then turned around and replied, "The one with long hair and a hat." ”

Wu Jiang hurriedly went to look again, and the position he was sitting in was facing Ding Ning, which was very easy to observe.

"This little girl is very beautiful, she looks quite individual, and she also paints European makeup. ”

"She looks better without this weird lipstick. Xia Qimo said casually, thinking back to the lipstick that Ding Ning wore last night.

Or pink suits her.

Thinking of this, he thought about the feeling when he touched her.

The pink lip gloss is sweet, like cream.

What do you think?

"Drink a bar!" Xia Qimo picked up the beer sent by the waiter and poured a glass for Wu Jiang.

"Aren't you going to drive?"

"The substitute driver is here. ”
