Chapter Seventy-Two: A Different Senior

Ye Jing followed Li Ming into the ward, although Aunt He was lying on the hospital bed, although there was a familiar smile on the corner of her mouth, she still looked very weak, and she barely sat up from the bed with the help of the nurse, Li Ming hurriedly stepped forward to cushion the pillow for her, so that Aunt He could lean on it.

"Hehe, Xiao Ming, you're really still outside......" Aunt He's tone was very relieved, "I'm sorry for the trouble for you...... It's not okay to be old......"

"What's the ......" Li Ming shook his head, "I'm still worried that a few of us come to eat every day and tire you......"

"Hmm...... cough cough ......" A violent cough interrupted what Aunt He wanted to say next, and everyone immediately patted their backs to deliver water when they saw this, and they were busy for a while, which stabilized Aunt He's discomfort.

"Aunt He, let's have a good rest~~" Ye Jing persuaded, "Let's come to see you tomorrow?"

"Uh...... That's what I said......" Aunt He took a breath, "It's not too early......

It could be seen that Li Ming had a lot to say at this time, but considering Aunt He's health, he still agreed that Ye Jing was ready to leave.

Before leaving, Ye Jing said casually: "Aunt He will get better early, everyone is still waiting to eat your omelet rice~~"

"Hmm......" Aunt He, who heard this, tears like rain flowing through the dry ground, gradually moistened the wrinkled corners of her eyes.

"What did I say wrong?" Ye Jing was startled, and subconsciously looked at Li Ming for help.

"No...... No......" Aunt He raised her hand and rubbed the corners of her eyes, "Hehe...... It's just that...... Auntie, I still can't bear you......"

Li Ming, who has always had a keen sense of smell, heard Aunt He's words, and asked with a little worry, "What's wrong, Aunt He?"

"I work here, and my family has been worried...... Aunt He sighed and continued, "Actually, my son has always wanted me to go back, but I thought that I could work for a few more years, and I wanted to save more money for the family, so I kept putting it off until now...... I guess God is reminding me that it's time to retire......"

"Auntie...... You mean......" Li Ming paused and choked up, "You mean ......"

"Yes, I want to close the He Restaurant......" Aunt He said for Li Ming.

Hearing this, Ye Jing couldn't help but be taken aback, although they haven't known each other for a long time, they partner with Aunt He every day, no matter how they say it, they also have feelings, and now they say that they want to leave, they are somewhat reluctant. However, considering the current health status of the elderly, it is the best way to go home overnight and enjoy the old age.

Thinking like this, Ye Jing was relieved, and just wanted to say two words of relief, but was surprised to find that Li Ming on the side was already crying, this senior who has always been unreasonable, and even a little unreasonable, is like a child at this time, although he stubbornly held his breath again and again, he still couldn't suppress the welling up of tears.

Ye Jing made a sharp turn on the highway, and hurriedly swallowed the wind back in her mouth. I can't help but feel that I am still too rash, thinking that the seniors have been getting along with Aunt He's small restaurant for a whole school year, and their feelings are naturally deeper than their own, for them, He Restaurant's restaurant is probably more than just a restaurant that is frequented. Similarly, once the restaurant closes, for Li Ming, what will be lost is not just a familiar place to eat.

"Xiao Jing?"

"Huh?"

Aunt He unexpectedly called her to Ye Jing's side, holding her hand as if she were looking at her granddaughter: "Although it hasn't been for a long time, my aunt likes you a lot...... I have a grandson who's as old as you...... Would you like to get acquainted?"

"Hmm...... Uh, ah!?Aunt He, what are you talking about?"

"Hahaha......"

Ye Jing, who reacted, had a very funny expression with big eyes, and even Aunt He, who was sick, couldn't help laughing because of her. Those feelings of joy also diluted the sadness in the room at the same time, and with the help of Ye Jing's reason for destroying the atmosphere, Li Ming finally sniffed and suppressed his tears.

"Auntie is joking with you......" Li Ming, who had just recovered a little bit of his usual expression, opened his mouth and brushed Ye Jing, "Look at you panicking, how can you be an idol when you see it like this~~"

Ye Jing never said angry things like 'not right, not right', but glanced at him dissatisfied. However, in a certain way, it is Ye Jing's responsibility that has contributed to Li Ming's arrogance to a certain extent, always wanting to say one sentence at a time, and never seems to be worried that she will run wild.

"You guys......" Aunt He said with a smile, "Ever since I saw you, we've always been raising each other's bars, aren't you colleagues working together?"

"It's not that he doesn't work hard...... Ye Jingwu stopped talking, looking at Aunt He on the hospital bed, she suddenly understood why Senior Li Ming had not adopted the plan of He Canteen to enter the school cafeteria.

The school cafeteria is always overcrowded, and although the business of He Canteen will benefit a lot from this, such a workload is really eating away at Aunt He's health.

"Don't blame Xiao Ming......" As if to confirm Ye Jing's understanding, Aunt He said earnestly, "Don't look at him always pushing flamboyantly here, I know very well in my heart, he is afraid that I will be tired, look at other stores whose business is too good to be busy, to be honest, if I were there, I guess this old bone would have fallen apart long ago......"

"Oh oh......" Ye Jing couldn't help but look at Li Ming with appreciation, she always thought that he was a workaholic who was desperate for the club's achievements, so it seemed that he was still quite humane.

"Aunt He, why are you talking to Ye Jing about this......" Li Ming stopped with a little embarrassment.

"What's the matter, I'm afraid of being praised in front of girls?" Aunt He joked, "In front of Xiaoqi, I didn't praise you less......"

"Uh......" ......

Speaking of Zhang Luqi, the people in the room seemed to have collectively touched the electric door, including Ye Jing, and everyone instantly became silent.

Ye Jing remembered that Li Ming had cheated in the track and field competition from Zhang Luqi for the sake of the club's support results, and then thought of the plan to enter the school cafeteria that he had seen not long ago, which had been stored in the activity room.

Because there are some things that are really more important than performance!

Aunt He sighed again: "I'm sorry, Xiao Ming, you and Xiao Qi will have to find another store to partner with in the future......"

Li Ming smiled bitterly: "Then there has to be a store where the omelet rice is as delicious as you cook, so she will eat at the same table with me, right?"

In just a few words, Ye Jing could roughly imagine what the senior sister and the senior had experienced. This reminded her of the high school life that she once thought would never break up, and the re-experience of all this, adhering to the idea of maintaining everything in front of her as the same and making it her life.

However, in the end, Ye Jing found that it was all wrong and in vain. No matter what universe we live in, change is always the eternal theme of this world. It is precisely because of such and such gatherings and dispersions in life that we can experience the warmth and coldness of human feelings, and we will deeply realize that we truly exist in this colorful world.

When I left the hospital, it was already moonlight. Ye Jing naturally lost her sense of direction completely in the middle of the night in such a black hole, and could only follow Li Ming back to school.

"Looking for a new discount restaurant...... "As he walked, Li Ming suddenly turned around and said.

"Eh......" Ye Jing moved her mouth and wanted to say something, but she couldn't find the right words for a while.

Li Ming smiled and shook his head: "It's amazing to say, why am I so sure that you can be a good idol......"

Ye Jing thought that he was embarrassing himself again, and was about to refute, but heard Li Ming turn around and mutter.

"It's like how I think that as long as Ho Eatery is still there, it means she's still with me......"

"Do you mean Senior Sister Zhang Luqi?" Ye Jing asked loudly behind him.

Li Ming turned around slowly, he didn't look embarrassed at the moment when he heard what was on his mind, perhaps, he just wanted Ye Jing to listen to his thoughts, because, in this velvety gentle and quiet night, coupled with a quiet Ye Jing, there was a kind of pleasure that made it difficult to refuse to open up.

"Yes, that's what I'm talking about...... your senior sister" Li Ming smiled bitterly, "If I tell you that I still like her......"

"I won't tell anyone else!" Ye Jing replied categorically.

"No......" Li Ming laughed helplessly, "I didn't mean that......"

"No, then you mean to ......" Ye Jing frowned: "Let's make it clear first, I won't be a lobbyist for you and help build a red line......"

Li Ming laughed, Ye Jing's train of thought made him feel as interesting as ever.

"No, I just wanted to ask, do you think I'm disgusting if you still like her after the breakup, mother-in-law?"

"No......" Ye Jing replied, looking at the stars in the sky stupidly, "I want to be with her because I like her, but because I can't be together, I like her even more......"

Li Ming sighed: "Why do you sound very experienced?"

Ye Jing stared at him for a while, and finally burst out with a sentence: "Can't I have someone I like?"

"Huh?!" Li Ming was startled.

"It's not you~~" Ye Jing rolled her eyes and looked flattered Li Ming, "I'm talking about someone else'......"

Li Ming easily suppressed his curiosity to find out, and said with the posture of the president: "We have words first, as idols, we are not allowed to fall in love this year~~"

Hearing this, Ye Jing suddenly laughed, the smile looked as bitter as Coptis chinensis but as sweet as honey, as careful as walking on an ice field, and as full of pride as sailing the seven seas. For the first time, the innocent Ye Jing revealed an expression that Li Ming couldn't see through.

"Senior~~" Ye Jing said, "Take what you said just now, He Restaurant won't be open forever, but I'm ...... It's going to be a good idol!"
