In the evening, a very simple small restaurant on the side of the road of Mizuki University is more of a semi-open-air roadside stall than a small restaurant.

Moreover, there are quite few types of dishes here, and the staple food seems to be only spicy tang.

Ji Ran looked at Ah Zhi strangely, originally she wanted to invite Ah Zhi to Pizza Hut or KFC, sitting in an air-conditioned room, drinking a large glass of Coke, sitting by the window and enjoying the night view, it is undoubtedly the best pastime for a hot summer night, but I didn't expect Senior Ah Zhi to insist on choosing here.

"Senior Ah Zhi, is the spicy tang here delicious?" Ji Ran looked at the bowl of Malatang in front of him, which was not very good, and asked.

"It's okay, I've eaten it a few times." Ah Zhi said.

"Oh." Ji Ran nodded, picked up a few sticks of noodle soup, inhaled it in his mouth, and suddenly a hot and sour feeling permeated his mouth, making Ji Ran frown, the soup noodles still had the salty smell of kelp, which was really hard to swallow.

Ji Ran only took one bite and couldn't help but feel like vomiting, but Senior Ah Zhi ate with relish, and drank most of the bowl after a while.

Seeing that Ji Ran only ate a little bit for a long time, Ah Zhi looked at Ji Ran strangely, "Isn't it hard to eat?" Can't get used to it? ”

"Huh? No, no, the main thing is that I'm not hungry now, and I rarely eat at night, so I don't have an appetite. Ji Ran explained with a smile.

"If you don't want to eat it, forget it, don't mind if I help you?" Ah Zhi said, his eyes fell on Ji Ran's spicy hot, although Ji Ran had taken a few sips. However, Senior Ah Zhi doesn't seem to mind at all.

"Yes." Ji Ran nodded, and Ah Zhi moved Ji Ran's spicy hot to himself. I drank three times and five divided by two, and even the hot and sour soup was drunk.

After the soup was full, Ah Zhi wiped his mouth with satisfaction, and when Ji Ran was about to pay, Ah Zhi stood up in advance and paid for the two bowls of Malatang, and the two bowls of Malatang only cost five yuan.

"Senior. I was going to invite you to dinner, but I didn't expect it to cost you, I'm really embarrassed. Ji Ran said apologetically.

"Huh. It's okay, I haven't come to improve my life for a long time, and I feel a little extravagant when I drink two bowls of spicy tang together. But. The taste is still quite good. Ah Zhi touched his stomach and smiled with satisfaction.

Hearing this, Ji Ran was stunned, is drinking a bowl of spicy tang considered a luxury? Wouldn't it be more extravagant if you went to McDonald's or Tex?

The two walked outside the campus for a while, and Ah Zhi suddenly looked at the time and looked at Ji Ran embarrassedly, "Ji Ran." I'm sorry, but I still have something to do in the evening. Why don't you go back first, and talk next time. ”

"Huh? Senior Zhi, are you leaving? Ji Ran asked a little reluctantly.

"yes, anything else?"

"Uh, no, are you going to see your girlfriend?" Ji Ran asked curiously.

Ah Zhi smiled and shook his head, "I don't have a girlfriend." ”

"It's not to see your girlfriend, why are you in such a hurry?"

"I got a part-time job outside of school, and I had to work for a while at night, and now it's almost time, I'm sorry." After Ah Zhi finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Ji Ran wondered, what kind of part-time job does Senior Ah Zhi do outside the school?

Ji Ran quietly followed behind Ah Zhi, and finally stopped outside a relatively good hotel.

Looking at the luxuriously decorated hotel, it should be at least a three-star hotel in terms of scale, what does Senior Ah Zhi do in the hotel? Is it the foreman or the greeter?

However, she never dreamed that Ah Zhi was actually the hardest and most tired dishwasher in it.

"Huh? Ji Ran schoolgirl? A familiar voice sounded from behind him, and Ji Ran turned around in surprise, only to see Ye Lingtian looking at him with a smile, holding a thick English book in his hand, as if it was related to astronomy.

"Senior Ling Tian, what a coincidence." Ji Ran greeted with a smile.

"It's so late, why are you here alone? Are you waiting for someone? Ye Lingtian asked with concern.

"Hehe, yes, by the way, senior, why are you here?" Ji Ran asked curiously.

"Oh, I'm going to rent a book, this is the original English text of Hawking's brief history of time and the cosmic husk theory, I'll take it for reference." Ye Lingtian said with a smile.

Ji Ran was taken aback, he was only a sophomore this year, and he could actually read Hawking's original English book, and it was such an obscure scientific exposition as a brief history of time and the cosmic husk theory.

"Can you read it?" Ji Ran asked with some concern.

Ye Lingtian shook his head honestly, "I can only understand eighty percent, and there are quite a few who can't understand it, and I just need an assistant." ”

Ji Ran thought about it, such an obscure English work, it is time to find a good assistant to translate it.

"Huh? Senior Sister Ji Ran, how about you be my assistant? If there are results in the future, count yourself as a part. Ye Lingtian asked with a smile.

Ji Ran smiled awkwardly and quickly shook his head, "Senior Ling Tian, don't make trouble, my English is very poor, I haven't passed the fourth level yet, and I've been busy lately, so I really don't have time." ”

Seeing Ji Ran's refusal, Ye Lingtian nodded with a smile, "Yes, the affairs of beauties are very busy, then okay, I won't bother you, goodbye." ”

"Well, goodbye!" Ji Ran waved his hand and watched Ye Lingtian disappear into the night.

Ji Ran waited outside the hotel for a while, but didn't see Ah Zhi, so he had to go back to school alone.

Two hours later, Ah Zhi scrubbed the last plate and went to the front desk to settle the salary.

Because of the dirty dishes that have been brushed for a long time, Ah Zhi's body has a smell of sweat, walking in the corridor, being covered by people to avoid it from afar, and even a woman with a child pinched her nose and said to the child.

"See? If you don't study hard in the future, you will be like him in the future. ”

Hearing this, Ah Zhi's heart was unhappy for a while, he didn't expect that he was actually used as a negative teaching material, but his mouth was on someone else's body, and Ah Zhi didn't have much to say, so he walked away silently.

"Fifteen hundred plates, fifteen dollars." The beauty at the front desk pinched the corner of the money and gave it to Ah Zhi, for fear that Ah Zhi's dirty hands would touch her delicate hands.

Ah Zhi smiled bitterly, took the money, and left the hotel.

This is a part of Ah Zhi's daily life, starting from his freshman year, and he has been doing it for a whole year.

Ah Zhi returned to the dormitory, and the three guys went all night without accident, thinking that they hadn't called home for half a month, Ah Zhi took out his phone card and dialed the phone at home from the public phone in the dormitory.

"Hey, Xiaozhi, how are you doing at school lately? Lack of money? ”

"Mom, I'm fine, I'm not short of money." Ah Zhi said with a smile.

"Xiaozhi, the weather is too hot these days, if it doesn't work, don't go out to work, although your parents are not powerful people, but it's still no problem for you to go to school, why don't you send some money over?"

"No need, there is still money in the card, the money you sent last time has not been used, I really don't lack money, I just want to hear your and my dad's voice." Ah Zhi said with a smile.

Ah Zhi's mother warmed her heart and nodded with emotion, "Good son, I'm very good with your father, don't worry." ”

Listening to his parents' laughter, Ah Zhi nodded relentingly.

"By the way, Ah Zhi, you are not young, you will be twenty years old on your birthday, if there is a suitable girl in college, remember to find a girlfriend."

When Ah Zhi heard this, he frowned strangely, "Mom, you're not mistaken, right?" When I was so opposed in high school, why is it that I am suddenly so enlightened now? ”

"When I was in high school, you were still young, I was afraid that you would fall in love and delay your studies, now you are no longer a child, if you meet the right girl, you can do it well, when you need money, just say, parents try to satisfy you, get along with girls, don't be too stingy."

Ah Zhi smiled and shook his head, "Okay, I know, that's it, I'll hang up." ”

Ah Zhi hung up the phone and lay on the bed in the dormitory, not only the image of a girl came to mind.

That's Ah Zhi's first love, a little girl from the countryside, although she is not a top student of Mizuki University, but a junior college student at an ordinary college in Kyoto, she met at an inter-school dance, and she felt good about each other at that time, so she slowly got along for a while.

However, not long ago, the girl accidentally learned that Ah Zhi was working as a dishwasher in the hotel, and she couldn't help but have a slight change in her attitude towards Ah Zhi, and later her attitude became more and more indifferent.

"Hey... It's been two weeks since we saw each other! Thinking of the girl, Ah Zhi couldn't help but sigh.

Tomorrow happens to be the weekend, and Ah Zhi decides to go to the girl's school to find her.

The next day, Ah Zhi deliberately changed into clean clothes and squeezed the bus to go to the girl's school.

In order to surprise the girl, I also bought a rose for ten yuan at a nearby flower shop, went downstairs to the girl's apartment, and waited stupidly.

However, waiting and waiting did not wait for the girl's shadow, and in the evening, Ah Zhi had no choice but to leave alone.

On Sunday, Ah Zhi came again, but he still waited for a day in frustration, and he didn't wait for the girl, seeing that the sunset was about to fall into the sky, Ah Zhi's heart was getting colder and colder.

Looking at the downstairs of the apartment, leaning against the wall, waiting stupidly, Ah Zhi, the roommate in the girl's dormitory couldn't help but sigh a little, "Ah Zhi is really infatuated enough, I actually waited for two days, Xiaojie, wouldn't it be too much for you to do this?" ”

Tian Jie's face was a little helpless, "I can't help it, I know that Ah Zhi is very good to me, but what's the use of just having a heart?" The clothes I like, he can't buy them, even a big meal has become a luxury, I've known him for so long, he hasn't even given me a decent gift, although love is priceless, but it can't be so priceless, right? ”

Hearing Tian Jie say this, several roommates also felt reasonable, and couldn't help but cast sympathetic glances at Ah Zhi. (To be continued......)
