Chapter 66: Gathering in Jiangshan City
At 7:45 p.m., Xiang Jingwen and Leng Yueshan walked into the classical-style gatehouse of the Jiangshan City Hotel.
Ali stood in the shadows of the street lights in the distance, watching the backs of the two of them disappearing around the corner as they walked to the second floor, and after thinking about it, he took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.
"Hey, old Wu? Drive your car to the Jiangshan City Hotel. β
The old Wu in Ali's mouth is the man who was dumped by Xiang Xiaotian in the principal's office during the day, in fact, he is only thirty or forty years old, but because he looks old, everyone jokingly calls him "Old Wu".
The reason why Lao Wu had to drive over was because Ali estimated that Xiang Jingwen's meal would take two or three hours, could he just stand and wait for him for two or three hours?
It's better to let Lao Wu drive the car over, so that you can sit in the car and wait. You can also change classes with Lao Wu, so that you can take a nap. Anyway, this matter was originally investigated by Lao Wu, so it was only natural for him to run away.

"Miss Leng, the box you booked is here, please come with me."
A young waitress dressed in a red cheongsam led the two into a private room with a smile on her face.
The box is very large, and a large round table inside is enough to seat a dozen or twenty people.
"There are only a few of us, so there's no need to book a private room, right?" Xiang Jingwen glanced at Leng Yueshan with some puzzlement.
"There was a lot of noise in the lobby, and there were many people smoking, and the smoke was smoky, but it was still clean in the box, and we just happened to be quietly renewing the old days."
Leng Yueshan said, and sat down on a chair, and Xiang Jingwen also sat on the chair separated by Leng Yueshan's two positions.
"What about Cao Xu? Have you called? Leng Yueshan asked while using the mobile phone camera as a mirror to look at her face.
"I've beaten it, he said that after playing the game in hand, he will come here, it should be soon."
Leng Yueshan snorted coldly from her nostrils: "It seems that games are more important than old classmates." β
Xiang Jingwen took over the conversation with a smile: "Don't talk about old classmates, when you really play games, there are many people who don't even want a girlfriend." Last time, a girl came downstairs in our boys' dormitory to wait for her boyfriend, and she waited for an hour and didn't come downstairs, but the girl was good enough, so she rushed directly to the boys' dormitory and asked him if he wanted a girlfriend or a game? β
"What did the boy say?" Leng Yueshan became interested, and unconsciously moved a position in Xiang Jingwen's direction, her eyes staring at his face tightly.
"Hehe, the boy said, wait until I'm done with this game."
"What a scumbag! If I were her, I would just throw the computer on the ground and then propose to break up with righteous words! Leng Yueshan said indignantly.
The girl was not in the habit of destroying other people's belongings, so she slapped the boy and walked away in a rage. When the boy saw her gone, he regretted it a little, so he chased after her and apologized. β
"And then?"
The two reconciled again.
Leng Yueshan snorted coldly, and said with some disdain: "This girl is too spineless!" β
Xiang Jingwen only raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and didn't say anything more.
"Oh, what about Xiao Ran, when will she arrive?" Xiang Jingwen looked at the time on his phone, it was already 8 o'clock.
"I said that I have arrived at Chaoyang Road, and it is estimated that there is a bit of a traffic jam, and it should be there soon."
"I'm going to the bathroom."
Xiang Jingwen took out the power bank from his bag, connected the power cord to his mobile phone, put it on the table, and got up and walked out of the door of the box.
Not long after Xiang Jingwen left, the mobile phone rang, and Leng Yueshan glanced at the mobile phone screen with some curiosity, it turned out that it was Su Ruixi calling.
After seeing the camera standing in the walnut forest, Su Ruixi was a little suspicious, did this camera capture herself?
Su Ruixi wore a hood that day, and it was not easy to be recognized, but because she had spoken to Xiang Jingwen, would they have asked Xiang Jingwen before?
And Xiang Jingwen seemed to have something to say to himself in the library, but was interrupted by Leng Yueshan......
The more Su Ruixi thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, and she couldn't help but call Xiang Jingwen.
Leng Yueshan's eyes fell coldly on the three words "Su Ruixi" on the mobile phone screen, and suddenly stretched out her slender index finger, slid lightly on the red rejection button, and hung up Su Ruixi's phone directly!
At this moment, the door of the box was pushed open, Qiu Xiaoran looked inside from behind the door, and when he saw Leng Yueshan's figure, he immediately shouted happily: "Shanshan!" β
Leng Yueshan hurriedly stood up from the seat, smiled and stretched out her arms to hug Qiu Xiaoran.
"Hey, Xiao Ran, you're here!" Xiang Jingwen came back from the bathroom and said with a look of surprise.
As soon as Qiu Xiaoran saw Xiang Jingwen, he immediately stretched out his arm generously, and glanced at Leng Yueshan with a smile: "Today I want to hug the prince charming of my dreams, don't you mind?" β
Leng Yueshan smiled: "Hey, you just hug it, can I still eat you?" β
Xiang Jingwen frowned slightly, Leng Yueshan's words were very interesting, which was equivalent to admitting their relationship in front of Qiu Xiaoran.
However, in fact, they have long since broken up, and now they are just two broken mirrors, even if they are forced together, the crack will not be able to dissipate.
But today, in front of Qiu Xiaoran, it's better not to demolish Leng Yueshan, lest she not be able to get off the stage.
Xiang Jingwen raised the corners of his mouth, leaned forward to hug Qiu Xiaoran, and patted her on the back.
After sitting down, Xiang Jingwen took a closer look at Qiu Xiaoran, and saw that she had concise short ear-length hair, wore rectangular black-framed glasses, and there was a faint sense of perseverance between her eyebrows, so he smiled:
"Xiao Ran is now more and more capable of being a strong woman."
Qiu Xiaoran pretended to be unhappy and made a face: "Are you praising me, or are you hurting me?" Don't you know that strong women are just as unpopular as female doctors now? β
Xiang Jingwen scratched his nose a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Of course this is praising you, now strong women are not only a trend but also a trend, do you see that the heroines in film and television dramas are getting stronger and stronger?" β
Leng Yueshan took Xiang Jingwen's words and said: "This is true, I really hope that I will become a strong woman in charge in the future." β
"You two...... The husband sang and the wife followed, so that I didn't dare to speak. β
Qiu Xiaoran's words made Leng Yueshan and Xiang Jingwen's faces flush, but Leng Yueshan's blush was a red of shyness and joy; And Xiang Jingwen's blush was a red of embarrassment and uneasiness.
"Speaking of which, the pairs in our class, the two of you have finally achieved positive results." Qiu Xiaoran sighed and said, looking at the two of them with a great sense of blessing in his eyes.
Xiang Jingwen didn't expect this misunderstanding to become more and more true, and he originally wanted to vaguely fool the past, but now it seems that it will not work without clarifying, lest people will wait to drink him and Leng Yueshan's wedding wine in the future!
Xiang Jingwen coughed lightly and said, "Actually, I ...... with Yueshan It's not boyfriend and girlfriend for a long time, we're just classmates and friends now. β
After speaking, Xiang Jingwen gently shook the tea in the cup and didn't look at Leng Yueshan's somewhat blue face.
"Hey, Jingwen, it's not April Fool's Day today, it's not interesting for you to make such a joke with me."
Qiu Xiaoran said this in his mouth, but seeing that the looks of the two seemed to be true, he no longer dwelled on this topic, and asked Leng Yueshan instead:
"Shanshan, aren't you studying in the UK? Why did you suddenly return to China? β
Before the dark clouds on Leng Yueshan's face dissipated, she forced out a smile and said, "Studying abroad now, to put it bluntly, is just gilding, and you can't learn anything really practical." I came back, but I saw through this in advance, and my father's health is not very good, so I want to come back early to take care of him more. β
"It's good to come back early, now the development of the motherland is not much worse than that of Europe and the United States, as long as you have real talent and real learning, you can also make a big difference in China."
Qiu Xiaoran echoed and said, but in her heart she was very dissatisfied with her coming back from Cambridge. However, she also knows that Leng Yueshan has a family business to inherit, so people have capricious capital.
The door of the box was gently pushed open, Cao Xu looked inside, and immediately walked in with a smile on his face.
"You're finally here, we'll wait until the flowers are almost gone!" Xiang Jingwen pointed his finger at Cao Xu.
Cao Xu clasped his palms together, bowed to the three of them, and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry, it's a little delayed, it's too late." β
"What else do you have to do? Xiao Ran finally came to Kyoto, you dare to be so lazy, say quickly, how to punish it? β
Leng Yueshan was already in a bad mood just after being picked out by Xiang Jingwen, but now that Cao Xu is here, she just took out her anger on him.
"How can that be punished? It's okay to punish yourself with three cups, right? Waiter, bring the beer! Cao Xu waved to the waiter with a proud face.
"You're beautiful! Now summer is the time for beer, so don't be too cool to give you three beers. If you want to be punished, you have to drink three cups of white! Leng Yueshan did not relent.
"Forget it, I'll have to walk back in a while, so far, if he gets drunk, I can't carry him." Xiang Jingwen was busy relieving Cao Xu.
"Let's drink beer, it's not good if you get really drunk after a while." Qiu Xiaoran didn't want to make too much trouble, and she had to go back early for a while to prepare for tomorrow's debate competition.
"Look, it's still Xiao Ran who is considerate."
Cao Xu smiled, poured the beer into the cup, drank three glasses in succession, and then lit up the bottom of the cup to everyone.
Leng Yueshan didn't pursue it anymore, and shouted at the waiter: "Waiter, hurry up and serve the food." β
The dishes were served one after another, and the four of them ate while chatting about various people and things in high school, and more than an hour passed unconsciously.
When Qiu Xiaoran looked at the time on his mobile phone again, he was startled, it was already 10 o'clock in the evening, and he hurriedly put down his chopsticks and said to the three of them:
"It's already 10 o'clock if I don't pay attention, I have to go, and I have to review tomorrow's defense when I go back."
"Okay, it's not too early, so let's go together." Leng Yueshan said, and was about to get up and go to the checkout.
Xiang Jingwen dragged her arm, rushed to the front, and rushed to buy the order.

"Ali, they're out!"
Seeing Xiang Jingwen and the four of them coming out of the Jiangshan City Hotel, Lao Wu hurriedly pushed Ah Li, who was sleeping on the seat.
Ali instantly came to his senses, and hurriedly straightened the back of the seat, and his eyes fell on the four of them like a spotlight.
After sending Qiu Xiaoran into a taxi, Xiang Jingwen and the three of them walked slowly in the direction of the school together.
Ali got out of the car and followed them from a distance.
"Alas, suddenly a little anxious, go to WC to solve it first, you two go first, don't wait for me."
Cao Xu said as he winked at Xiang Jingwen, as if to say: I won't be an eyesore here, brother, you take advantage of it.
"Alas, we waited for you." Xiang Jingwen didn't want to face Leng Yueshan alone.
"Don't wait for me, I'm tuba!" Cao Xu dropped a sentence and trotted into the west gate of the school.
