Led by Tang Jing, the group walked into a restaurant with a local style of decoration.

The restaurant is so crowded that there are hardly any seats available, and even when someone finishes their meal, the waiter will step forward as soon as possible, quickly clear the table, and take another group of customers to their seats.

Seeing this scene, Tang Wan's whole person was not good, what she hated the most was crowding.

"Tang Jing, let's go eat at another house, there are too many people here!"

"Don't worry, your brother has arranged it."

Tang Jing called the waiter, and after some exchange, he led everyone to the second floor.

Compared with the crowded hall downstairs, the private room on the second floor is only a hurried waiter, which makes people much more comfortable.

Several people walked into the private room and found their own seats.

Tang Jing pushed the menu on the table in front of Tang Wan and said, "Come, old sister, you can order whatever you want, this meal brother is in for a treat." ”

"Really? When did you become so rich? ”

"The income from the studio, plus some scattered income such as scholarships, is a little bit of savings."

"Wow, are college students so good?"

In Tang Wan's impression, her brother is still a nerd who only knows how to study, and she never thought that he would evolve to make money.

"Correct, it's your brother who is great, not a college student."

Bringing students is the most worthless, slaughtered labor, and dogs dislike it.

"Then you're welcome!"

Tang Wan happily flipped through the menu and decided to blast him with a wave of rice.

However, as she flipped through the menu page by page, the smile on her face faded little by little.

Pinch hemp drops, is this the capital!

A boiled kale costs more than fifty!

I might as well go back to the countryside and touch one by myself to dip it in!

Tang Wan pushed the menu back and said, "Let's come, I'm afraid that I will accidentally put you in debt." ”

"Then I'll do what I want?"

"It's okay, I'm not a picky eater."

Tang Jing didn't delay, skillfully pointed to the dishes on the menu, quickly ordered five dishes and one soup, and then said to the others: "Do you think these dishes are enough?" ”

"Enough, we can't eat much, and it's a waste to order more."

Zhao Huijuan doesn't want her son to be too expensive, after all, he hasn't graduated yet, and it's not easy to save money.

"Then let's do it first, it's not enough."

Tang Jing asked the waiter to serve the food, then took the teapot and poured tea for Zhao Huijuan, while asking, "How is the family in the past six months, nothing serious, right?" ”

Zhao Huijuan swept over Tang Wan without a trace, and responded, "Don't worry, everything is normal." What about you? Busy not going home during the summer vacation? ”

"Busy!"

Tang Jing put the teapot on the small cart on the side and sighed: "There are a lot of projects in the studio, and I am busy from morning to night every day, and I can't finish it at all. I have to go to work part-time on weekends and teach junior high school students, and I'm almost exhausted. ”

Zhao Huijuan's heart ached when she heard this, and she blamed: "If you are tired, you go to rest, why do you have to do part-time work?" Our family is not short of money, and we can afford you and Wanwan to go to college. ”

Tang Yixiong also frowned when he heard it, he did not object to Tang Jing doing part-time work, and even supported it a little. But it is also based on the premise that there is enough time.

"Is it because the cost of living is not enough? If it's not enough, I'll add it to you. ”

"It's enough, you don't need to add it."

Tang Jing's current living expenses are 2,000 per month, which is more than enough for a person like him who does not go out often and has a low desire to spend.

"The main reason is that I have a lot of vacation time, and I want to exercise myself, so I look for a part-time job. Don't worry, I have my own number, and I won't break my body. ”

"It's good to have a number. If there is something, don't hold it in your heart, remember to tell your mother. ”

"yes, I know."

Tang Wan kept matching dishes on the side, without the slightest intention of joining the conversation. Anyway, she is just a high school student, even if Tang Jing has a problem, she can't do anything.

It didn't take long for the waiter to bring all the dishes, and everyone started chopsticks.

Tang Wan took the lead in tasting all the dishes as if she was testing poison.

Her feeling is that she gets what she pays for, there is nothing unpalatable, but there is nothing that makes her feel particularly amazing, which is considered to be of the upper middle level.

Zhao Huijuan filled herself a bowl of duck soup and asked, "By the way, Ah Jing, what about your two classmates?" Don't you eat with us? ”

"They still have something to do, so let's go back to the dormitory first."

"Is it a studio thing?"

"Yes."

Zhao Huijuan scooped up a spoonful of soup and tasted it a little, it was very sweet, moderately salty, and had a faint taste of medicinal herbs, but it didn't seem very deliberate, in general, it was a good pot of soup.

"You don't have to go back and help?"

"Everyone has their own part of responsibility, and my share has been done ahead of schedule, so it's out of the way."

Tang Jing sandwiched a large piece of perch belly, picked out a few long fish bones, and was about to open his mouth to bite them, but Zhao Huijuan said the next sentence and asked him to put the fish back in the bowl.

"It's been a year since I went to college, have you ever thought about finding a girlfriend?"

"Mom, why did you suddenly ask this?"

"Isn't it weird? You're in college, and you don't look bad, and as a mother, it's normal for me to ask this, right? ”

Tang Jing said helplessly and funny: "It's normal. ”

"Is there or is not."

"Nope."

"Didn't you think about it, or didn't you catch up?"

Tang Jing put the slightly cold fish in the bowl into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it into his stomach.

Sure enough, the cold sea bass is not delicious, and the fishy smell is really strong.

"What? Don't talk and pretend to be dead? Or do you want to get by? ”

"This fish is not fresh, I called the waiter to ......"

"Don't digress from the conversation."

Seeing that he really couldn't avoid Zhao Huijuan's questioning, Tang Jing had to answer positively.

"I didn't think about finding a girlfriend. Is this answer to your liking? ”

"It's okay, it's a pity~"

Zhao Huijuan picked up the porcelain bowl and drank all the oily duck soup.

"What's the pity?"

"It's a pity that Zhiyi is such a good girl and can't be a daughter-in-law."

Tang Jing's right hand holding the chopsticks unconsciously exerted force, and the next second it relaxed again.

"Mom, as I said, Senior Sister Xiang and I are just ordinary seniors, and there is no other relationship. Moreover, you have only met her once, and you haven't said a few words, how can you be sure that she is okay? ”

"I'm honest at a glance, and the appraisal is good, do you have any opinions?"

"Don't dare."

There are two kinds of people in this world who are unreasonable. One is a fool, the other is a woman, Tang Jing knows this very well.

Tang Wan, who had been immersed in cooking next to her and hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly interjected into the conversation.

"Tang Jing, you really don't have any thoughts about Sister Zhiyi?"

"You're going to interject too?"

"Leave it alone, answer my question."

"Eh~"

Tang Jing sighed and said, "There really isn't. ”

"And what if I say, she has thoughts about you?"

"Where did you know that?"

"It's very simple, you can see it if you pay a little attention. If she doesn't have thoughts about you, she will never come with you to meet your parents, let alone take the initiative to introduce herself. ”

For a while, Tang Jing couldn't think of anything to refute, because he could see it himself, otherwise he wouldn't have interrupted Xiang Zhiyi at that time.

"Senior Sister Xiang's personality is like this, she is very enthusiastic about everyone, you think too much."

"Then you mean that Sister Zhiyi is a casual person?"

She ...... Not casually. ”

After saying this, Tang Jing didn't say anything more. There are many mistakes, and silence is the best answer.

……

Half past seven in the evening.

Tang Jing sent Zhao Huijuan and the others back to the front of the hotel and said, "Mom, you guys go up, I'll go back to the dormitory first." ”

"Why don't you come up with us and sit down?"

"No, you've been on the plane for a day and you're tired, so I won't disturb your rest."

"It's okay, pay attention to safety when you go back, and remember to say something when you get to the dormitory."

"Well, got it, bye-bye."

Tang Jing closed the car door, reported the address of the dormitory to the driver, and left quickly.

Twenty minutes later.

Tang Jing walked on the concrete road in the dormitory area, and the sound of many students chatting lingered in his ears.

Just as he turned the corner and was about to reach the door at the bottom of the dormitory building, a shadow appeared in front of him, and he had to stop.

After a long silence, Tang Jing opened his mouth to say hello.

"Senior Sister Xiang, good evening."

Xiang Zhiyi walked out of the shadows and came to him, smiling smartly.

"Brother Jing, good evening. It took so long to greet me that I thought you were going to ignore me. ”

"Senior sister is too worried."

Tang Jing quietly took a step back and distanced the two.

"You are my senior, you helped me so much during your enrollment, how could I ignore you."

Xiang Zhiyi narrowed her eyes and took a big step forward, and the distance between the two instantly shrunk to only a few centimeters, almost sticking together.

"Brother, do I have a peculiar smell? Why are you so far away from me? ”

Feeling the faint aroma between his noses, Tang Jing's little heart pounded uncontrollably, almost escaping from his chest.

He clenched his fists tightly, endured the throbbing in his heart, and pretended to be calm and said: "Senior sister misunderstood, I just think that men and women don't kiss each other and don't keep a distance, I'm afraid it will affect your reputation." ”

"It's you, I don't mind."

The simple six words almost tore apart Tang Jing's psychological defense, but after all, it was almost enough.

Tang Jing put a lid on the surging emotions in his heart, then put his hands on Xiang Zhiyi's shoulders and gently pushed her away from him.

"Senior sister, it's late at night, it's time for you to go back to the dormitory."

It's not eight o'clock, late at night?

Don't bother to find excuses, right?

Xiang Zhiyi felt very ridiculous, for him, but also for herself.

"Tang Jing, what are you dissatisfied with me? Just say it and give me a good time, okay? Do you know that hanging like this is very much like playing with feelings! ”

Because the person you like is so useless.

Tang Jing lowered his head, looked away, and remained silent.

Xiang Zhiyi looked at him as a turtle with a shrunken head, and she was angry, and she clenched her fists and wanted to smash on him, but she still put it down weakly.

"Tang Jing, I can't wait too long, do you understand? Feelings will be consumed. ”

"I ...... Got it. ”

"And what about your response?"

Tang Jing was silent again.

"You're going to stop talking for the rest of your life."

Xiang Zhiyi, whose patience was exhausted, bypassed him directly and strode away.

Tang Jing slowly straightened up, pushed the glasses that had slipped down to his nose, and laughed at himself.

"Sister, your brother is actually not powerful, not at all."

Here it comes
