Chapter One Hundred and One
After getting off work, Dong Yiling took a strict hand and happily ran to the editorial office to meet us. This scene full of sweetness and warmth made my heart throb as if the once carefree high school years reappeared in front of my eyes.
After learning that the president and we lived in the same dormitory, Dong Yiling was surprised and delighted, and couldn't wait to share with him a shortcut she had recently discovered to the station. Under the leadership of Dong Yiling, we turned left and right in the alley, and after a while, we reached the station. Watching the two people in suits and leather shoes walk through the alleys, stumbling over the uneven ground from time to time, I feel funny and pitiful. On the way back, he suggested going back to the main road so that the president could familiarize himself with the surrounding shops. As soon as she heard that it was for the president, Dong Yiling agreed without saying a word. So, Dong Yiling and Yan Yan swapped places. Walking at the forefront, the president constantly introduced the traffic and landmark buildings along the road, and his patience and care were comparable to real estate sales. Dong Yiling and I walked side by side, occasionally stopping to look at the goods in the window and discuss a few words. After walking for nearly half an hour, we finally arrived in front of the restaurant.
To our surprise, the waitress recognized us, and not only that, but she also kindly arranged a table close to the piano so that we could enjoy the piano up close.
Not long after we finished ordering, the waiters began to serve us food one after another. As the delicate dishes were brought to us, my mood gradually changed from full anticipation to apprehension. Yan Yan and I glanced at each other suspiciously, and then realized that Dong Yiling didn't see the president at all. Probably to make up for the lack of enjoyment last time, this time, she ordered everything she wanted to eat but didn't eat.
"What should I do, it seems that I ordered too much......" Looking at the table full of dishes, Dong Yiling apologized softly with a sad face.
"It's okay, I'll take care of eating them!" Yan Yan held Dong Yiling's hand with a serious face and comforted.
Hearing this, the president pursed his lips and smiled. "If you can't finish eating, you can pack it back, you don't need to force it."
The president's generosity and approachability obviously won Dong Yiling's great favor. During the banquet, Dong Yiling not only told him about our reunion, but also took the initiative to reveal to him the recent resumption of contact with Fang Zheng and Xu Mingyao.
"Huh? Why didn't I know you had two very handsome male classmates? Yan Yan looked at Dong Yiling with wide eyes, and his tone was full of displeasure.
"Aren't you interested in knowing?" Dong Yiling pushed harshly, turned to the president and continued: "Fang Zheng used to be the captain of the basketball team, and now he is a traffic policeman, while Xu Mingyao has always studied very well, and now he is a doctor of cardiac surgery......"
"Very good indeed!" The president nodded and smiled.
It's rare to meet someone who is willing to cheer, and the more Dong Yiling talks, the more forgetful she becomes: "Xu Mingyao's family also opened a coffee shop, and we occasionally go there for parties. The desserts made by his mother are delicious, and you should definitely try them if you have the chance. ”
"Okay, send me the address later." The president replied solemnly.
Under the president's silent encouragement, Dong Yiling said even more excitedly: "Oh, I almost forgot to mention, there is a big rose field outside that coffee shop, it's beautiful!" ”
"There's such a nice place that doesn't take me there...... Hmph......" Yan Yan muttered to the side.
"Rose?" The president looked at Dong Yiling intently, as if he was very interested in this.
"Not the usual roses...... Belch...... What's it called...... Yin Ran, do you remember? ”
I remember it very well, but I shook my head weakly.
"Is it called Austin?" Perhaps because of the lighting, the president's face seemed a little gloomy.
"That's the name! President, how did you know? Dong Yiling clapped her hands and asked happily.
"Actually, I have a few packets of Austin Rose mixed seeds at home, but unfortunately I haven't had time to so......w them," the president replied lightly.
"Then you can go and exchange planting experience with Xu Mingyao, their flowers are planted well!" Dong Yiling proudly proposed.
"Then you can help introduce ......," the president chuckled and glanced at me.
"That's not good...... Why don't you ask his opinion first? "Somehow, as soon as I heard that the president was going to see Xu Mingyao at the café, I felt flustered. I don't want the president to see that flower field, and I don't want the president to talk to Xu Mingyao.
"I'm sure that a well-bred and willing guest like the president will be very popular wherever he goes!" Yan Yan raised the chopsticks holding a large piece of lobster, and his appearance was full of persuasion.
"Besides, Xu Mingyao has such a good temper, he definitely won't mind meeting one more friend!" Dong Yiling hurriedly added.
"I'm looking forward to meeting such a perfect person." The president wiped his mouth with a napkin and smiled meaningfully.
For the rest of the day, they not only had a good conversation, but also made an appointment to go to the coffee shop for afternoon tea together next weekend. I was like an outsider, completely unable to join in their joy. Ten minutes before the restaurant closes, Yan Yan finally made good on his promise and emptied the table by himself. Seeing him holding his belly, I temporarily let go of my helplessness and worries and laughed with them.
