Li Qingyuan came a little early, and when he entered the Hexian Restaurant, there were not many guests inside.

He was a little impatient, he hadn't seen Lin Lan for so long, and he was thinking about it tightly.

I asked at the front desk how the room was, and he pushed the door in.

After waiting for more than 20 minutes, I saw Lin Lan, who was late, followed by Yang Lan.

"Yo, you're here so early, are you here to eat or to meet someone?" Yang Lan quipped.

The ambiguity between Lin Lan and Li Qingyuan was faintly noticed last time they had dinner, and she was Lin Lan's friend, so she probably knew something about the things between the two.

"It's true that you came early, did you order?" asked Li Qingyuan.

"Not yet, the people haven't arrived yet. Lin Lan chuckled.

She hadn't seen her for more than ten days, and she looked more confident and full of energy.

She seems to be in a very good mood, so she always has a smile on her face and a rarely soft tone.

"Let's order first, the chefs of Hexian Restaurant are busy, don't have to wait in line. Yang Lan said. She is almost a regular visitor here, and she often comes with Su Yunna.

"Yes, senior sister, let's order!" Li Qingyuan said as he handed her the membership card.

"Okay, don't sit still, whatever you want to eat, just order!" Lin Lan said boldly.

"Senior sister, what kind of happy event have you encountered?" asked Li Qingyuan.

"Lan Lan hasn't told you yet," Yang Lan glanced at Lin Lan with a smile and said, "Your senior sister has been officially hired by the company, and she has an enviable high-paying job, can you be unhappy?"

"Just your mouth is fast!" Lin Lan glared at Yang Lan coquettishly.

"Didn't you mean a three-month internship?" asked Li Qingyuan.

"Maybe I'm doing well," Lin Lan handed the menu to Yang Lan and smiled at him, "I've received a lot of orders this month, and they've done well." It just so happened that the team was short of people, so I became a regular. ”

"Then what about your studies?" Li Qingyuan asked again.

"It's my senior year soon, and I have time. Lin Lan smiled, "Except for some necessary exams, which require time, I am completely competent." ”

"I see, congratulations to your senior sister!" Li Qingyuan congratulated heartily.

"Thank you, you have to come on!" Lin Lan smiled and ordered food with Yang Lan.

It can be seen that Lin Lan is really happy and orders a lot of expensive dishes, and the price is not cheap. Although his card can be discounted, Li Qingyuan still feels a little painful.

After ordering, I waited for more than ten minutes, and the people who had to wait were all there.

Three women, three men, the woman is Lin Lan's dormitory roommate, and the man is their male ticket. When everyone met, it was naturally another introduction, and the five women quickly became familiar with each other.

However, Li Qingyuan was quite embarrassed, the three men obviously knew each other, and the conversation was endless.

Li Qingyuan is two years younger than them, so he has nothing to talk about at all.

Fortunately, one of them seemed to be on the Internet often and knew some things about Li Qingyuan, so he found a topic to talk about. Finally, he was not too embarrassed, and Li Qingyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

During the meal, Li Qingyuan felt constrained, and he looked like an outsider.

This made him feel a little depressed, and for the first time he felt like he and Lin Lan were in two worlds.

Especially now that Lin Lan has found a high-paying job, and he is still messing around in school, the distance seems to be getting farther and farther away, which makes him feel very uncomfortable, and he has drunk two more drinks unconsciously.

Hexian Restaurant is famous for its high consumption and high quality, and the three young couples have only heard of it, and this is the first time to eat here, and they are also a little excited.

Knowing the reason for Lin Lan's treat, he did not hesitate to send praise and his own little envy and jealousy.

It was in this atmosphere that everyone ate for more than an hour.

Although Lin Lan drank a lot, she was still not drunk, and insisted on sending her sister out of the door before going to settle the bill.

Yang Lan and Li Qingyuan followed behind, talking in a low voice.

"Do you know why Lan Lan is so happy?" Yang Lan suddenly asked.

Li Qingyuan shook his head, "Do you know?"

She is happy not only because of her work, but also because she sees new hope. Yang Lan said.

"New hope?" Li Qingyuan looked at her puzzled.

"You don't know anything about Lan Lan's family. Yang Lan took him and sat down in the hall.

"She never told me about the family. Li Qingyuan said in a low voice.

"It's no wonder that no one wants to mention it. Yang Lan said softly, "Do you want to know?"

"Yes!" Li Qingyuan looked at her, "You're going to tell me, right?"

"Just don't talk nonsense. Yang Lan nodded.

"No, you can say it!" Li Qingyuan said firmly.

"Lan Lan is a local, the only daughter in the family. Yang Lan's eyes narrowed slightly, and she seemed to fall into memory, "Before the age of sixteen, although the family was not wealthy, life was not bad. But when he was 16 years old, his father became addicted to gambling, and the small family was defeated. ”

"Before the age of sixteen, Lan Lan was the princess of the family, and after the age of sixteen, she was the money-loser in her father's mouth. Yang Lan said in an extremely indifferent tone, "Almost overnight, Lan Lan became a complete stranger, she doesn't like to talk to people, but her grades have improved rapidly. ”

"You know? She could have had to go through so much hard work. ”

In the eastern part of the city, his family originally had an old house with a courtyard, and there was originally a generous compensation and demolition payment. As a result, the house was gambled by her father in three hours. Since then, she has had to live a rented house with her mother. ”

On the one hand, the mother and daughter hid from their father's debts, avoided their father's harassment, and had to work hard to make money to let Lan Lan go to school. In just three years, Lan Lan's mother fell ill. ”

Li Qingyuan listened without saying a word, and he had all kinds of feelings in his heart, and he was afraid that he was more distressed by Lin Lan. He had never heard Lin Lan mention these things, and he felt a deep emotion when he heard it for the first time.

"When I was admitted to college, my father died in a car accident," Yang Lan took a deep breath, "All the gambling debts he left behind fell on Lan Lan alone, it was Lan Lan's most difficult year, not only had to find a way to repay the money, but also had to save money to pay for tuition, not to mention his aunt's medical expenses, which was another expense." ”

"It was also that year that she met Sister Yun Na," Yang Lan looked at Li Qingyuan and said, "Do you know? Lan Lan likes painting the most, because she has to pay off her debts, she changed her major and entered the English department. ”

Sister Yun Na helped her pay off her debts and helped Lan Lan pay her tuition, which is almost equivalent to having another parent. For this reason, Lan Lan studied hard, and in just three years, she passed the eighth level. ”

"She also continued to take on tasks through Linlang Pavilion, and in private she became a working queen, in addition to studying every day, she worked, and the money she earned was either for her mother's treatment or to pay off her debts. ”

"Maybe that's why she agrees so much with you. Yang Lan looked at him and said, "We often talk about you, your experience is very similar to Lan Lan, she sees her own shadow in you." I don't want you to let her down, you know?"

"I won't!" Li Qingyuan said with red eyes.

Yang Lan nodded, "Now you understand, the reason why Lan Lan is so happy today is not only because of work, but because she finally paid off her debts." She is finally free, she sees hope in life, and she will live for herself next!"

Li Qingyuan was silent, but tears quietly dripped from the corners of his eyes.
