He and Wang Jie almost finished a box of beer. The girls drank a few glasses. At the moment, their faces were red, making them even more beautiful.
Li Dong didn't expect Wang Jie to be so good at drinking. He didn't notice it before.
After a barbecue, the relationship between everyone was obviously a lot closer than before. Hua Xia really lived in a foodie society. Only by eating and drinking can they talk about feelings.
Even Yuan Xue, who was usually not very pleasing to the eye, now didn't mind it so much. Beautiful women have this capital. Even if there is a little flaw, it is easy to be forgotten.
When the bill was paid, Li Dong sighed with emotion. A world without inflation was really beautiful.
Five people ate and drank to their heart's content and only spent eighty yuan. It must be known that in the future, it would cost at least two or three hundred yuan.
However, after paying the bill, Li Dong was embarrassed. He only had a fifty yuan and a few coins left. He didn't even have the money to buy another meal.
Sure enough, a penny stumped a hero. If he didn't make a little money, let alone support his family, he wouldn't even have the capital to pick up girls.
However, Li Dong was not in a hurry. In addition to the troublesome process, it wasn't too difficult for him to make money.
After eating, it was already past nine o 'clock. No one was in the mood to go shopping.
Wang Jie blushed and wanted to send Chen Yue home. He didn't know if it was because of drinking or other reasons.
Li Dong was just about to accompany Qin Yuhan back when he heard Chen Yue said, "Li Dong, Xiaoxue and I are not going the same way. Can you help me send Xiaoxue home?"
"No!"
Yuan Xue refused without thinking. Li Dong opened his mouth and muttered, "Even if you promise, I won't."
Chen Yue ignored Yuan Xue and continued, "It's so late. It's not safe for Xiaoxue to go back alone. Li Dong, I'll leave Xiaoxue to you. I'll go first."
After that, Wang Jie, the guy who forgot his friends for love, ran away with Chen Yue, leaving Li Dong and the other two people staring at each other.
Looking at Yuan Xue and then at Qin Yuhan, Li Dong had a sad look on his face. It was such a difficult choice.
From the bottom of his heart, of course, he wanted to hang out with Qin Yuhan under the moonlight. However, Chen Yue was right. The current public security environment was not as good as it would be in the future. If he really let a delicate beauty like Yuan Xue go home alone, there was no guarantee that an accident would happen.
Without much hesitation, Li Dong said, "How about this? Yuhan's house is close to here. Let's send Yuhan home first, and I'll send Yuan Xue home later."
Qin Yuhan didn't say anything. When Yuan Xue was about to refuse, Li Dong said firmly, "That's settled. I need to go home and sleep after sending them off!"
…
Li Dong was silent all the way. Qin Yuhan and Yuan Xue were whispering something behind him. Li Dong didn't listen to them on purpose. It was nothing more than some girl's talk.
Ten minutes later, they arrived at Qin Yuhan's house. Qin Yuhan said goodbye to Yuan Xue.
She looked up at Li Dong without saying anything. She turned around and smiled when they were about to go up the stairs, "Li Dong, remember to send Yuan Xue home safely. I'll treat you to dinner next time when I'm free."
After saying that, she disappeared in the dark corridor without giving Li Dong a chance to reply.
"Let's go. Where do you live?" Seeing that Qin Yuhan was gone, Li Dong turned around and asked.
Until then, Li Dong just remembered that he didn't know where Yuan Xue lived at all. He had to admit that he was a failure.
After all, she was a beauty at the level of the campus belle. Moreover, she sat in front of him, but he didn't even think about asking about this.
Yuan Xue seemed to realize that Li Dong didn't like her very much. She felt wronged and said angrily, "Mingyuan District!"
"Uh …"
Li Dong didn't dare to say anything. This was a big mistake. No wonder she was unhappy.
Not for anything else, but because he knew about Mingyuan District. In fact, the county was only so big. This area was also the center of the county. Generally, the high-class districts were in this area.
And Mingyuan District, where Yuan Xue lived, was across the road from Qin Yuhan's house. Moreover, they just passed by there.
After a while, Li Dong looked at Yuan Xue, who was like a dull gourd, and said with some depression, "Then why didn't you say it just now?"
"Humph!"
"Say what? Say that my house is actually closer than Qin Yuhan's house, and ask you to send me back first? " Yuan Xue's pretty face was slightly cold, "I'm not your good friend. Of course, you have to be closer to your good friend first."
After a dry cough, Li Dong didn't say anything again. He walked in the direction he came from. Both of them didn't speak along the way.
After all, the distance was not far. They arrived at Mingyuan District in two or three minutes.
Standing at the gate of the district, Li Dong stopped his footsteps, and Yuan Xue also paused. The two of them were silent for a while.
In the dark, Yuan Xue bit her lips and asked in a low voice, "Li Dong, do you hate me very much?"
"Cough, cough, cough …"
Li Dong was embarrassed. He didn't expect that Yuan Xue would ask this question. After thinking for a while, he said dryly, "Why would I? You have good grades, and you are beautiful. Everyone in the class likes you."
"What about you?"
As soon as she asked the question, Yuan Xue blushed. Fortunately, it was dark and Li Dong couldn't see it.
She didn't know why she asked this question, but she regretted it as soon as she said it.
But every time she thought of Li Dong's attitude towards her, she felt indignant. Why did he have to please Qin Yuhan so much? How was she worse than Qin Yuhan?
Women were like this. People didn't like those who rushed at them. Only those who were aloof and distant could attract attention.
It wasn't that Li Dong was better than others. The key was his attitude.
Li Dong's dislike of her was real and not an act. No high school student could act for three years. If that was true, it would be too scary.
Li Dong cried in his heart. What kind of trick was this?
Yuan Xue couldn't have fallen for him, right?
But it was impossible. What did he, Li Dong, have? Nothing at all!
His parents were just peddlers. Their grades were not outstanding. Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that his appearance was not outstanding. At most, it could be considered delicate.
As for his rebirth, he believed that no one except him knew about it. Then what did Yuan Xue mean?
He had to admit that it was difficult to answer such a question in front of a beautiful woman.
It was too unconscionable to say that he didn't like her. Although he didn't like Yuan Xue in the past, he always felt that she was pretending. To be honest, most men would have this kind of mentality when faced with grapes that they couldn't eat.
Besides, even if she was pretending, she had the capital to do so. If you asked an ugly girl to be an iceberg, it was guaranteed that even ghosts wouldn't care.
But to say that he liked her, the word 'like' was a bit too much.
Li Dong wasn't the kind of person who couldn't move when he saw a beautiful woman. It was normal to flirt when he saw a beautiful girl. It was abnormal to say that he liked Yuan Xue. If he really liked her, why didn't he think about her after so many years of graduation?
He could only choose to be silent. Li Dong didn't say anything.
Yuan Xue seemed to understand something. She bit her lips and didn't ask anymore. She quickened her pace and soon disappeared into the vast night.
"What's going on!"
Li Dong was in a bad mood. He kicked away the stones on the roadside and then grimaced in pain.
…
When he got home, the lights were already on. Li Dong then put aside the troubles just now.
Not to mention that it was just his guess, even if Yuan Xue really liked him, so what? After the college entrance examination and he went to college, with Yuan Xue's appearance, there would be a lot of people chasing after her. Maybe she would forget who he was after two or three days.
Li Dong still had some self-awareness. He was not money, so would the girl think about him all day long?
He opened the door with a slightly relaxed mood. He didn't see his father, but his mother was dozing off on the sofa.
He softly walked to his mother. Seeing the wrinkles at the corner of her eyes and the dark bags under her eyes because she always woke up early, Li Dong's mood became heavy again.
He had to make money as soon as possible. His father and mother were only a few years away from being diagnosed with diseases. Maybe they were already sick now, but the old couple never went to the hospital for checkups, so they didn't know.
They didn't sleep well all year round, and they were overworked. Even if they weren't sick, they would get sick. He had to take his father and mother to the hospital as soon as possible.
While Li Dong was in deep thought, Cao Fang opened her eyes and saw her son sitting beside her in a daze. She complained, "Where did you go? You didn't even tell us that you came back until now. "
"Hehe, Mom, I went to eat barbecue with my classmates. I'm off tomorrow."
"Well, remember to leave a note next time. Who paid for it? Don't always eat other people's money. If you don't have money, just tell me. Treat your classmates more. After graduating from high school, we will go our separate ways. Who knows if you will need someone else's help in the future. Get along well with your classmates and teachers … "
Listening to his mother's nagging, Li Dong smiled warmly and interrupted, "Mom, I know. I still have money. You must be tired all day, go to sleep."
Cao Fang was also tired. She yawned and went back to her room to sleep.
Li Dong washed up quickly and sat on the sofa in a daze for a while. After that, he went back to his room and picked up the textbook he had reviewed yesterday to continue.
He didn't have enough time, and he still had to be busy with other things in the future. He could only study more at night. He didn't need to do well in the exams, but at least it couldn't be worse than in his previous life.
