Although all the colleges in Jiangling University Town had taken precautions against respiratory diseases, the lives of the students did not change much.
Everyone still stayed up all night and gathered together, except for washing their hands a few more times before eating.
There was a new barbecue restaurant in Yiwu Commodity City. Xiao Rongyu invited them to eat together.
"It's too boring to eat barbecue with just the two of us. Let's invite more people."
Chen Hansheng said over the phone.
In fact, it was not because of the atmosphere. If he went to a restaurant with Xiao Rongyu alone and was seen by his classmates in the finance department, he would have to explain.
Little Yu'er also felt that it was reasonable. The more people there were, the merrier. "But Wanqiu and Xiao Meng did not have time to inform them. How about we change it to tonight?"
"It doesn't have to be your high school classmate. Don't you have a Senior Gu at Dong University?" Chen Hansheng reminded.
"She's with her boyfriend today."
"It's okay. Let's bring her boyfriend along."
Chen Hansheng did not mind. In short, they were here to cover up. So in the end, there were four people eating at the Korean barbecue restaurant.
"This is Senior Gu's boyfriend, Senior Du Mingwei. This is Chen Hansheng from the finance department."
Xiao Rongyu paused and said, "They are my high school classmates."
When Xiao Rongyu said this, she was obviously a little angry. It had been more than a semester, and Chen Hansheng still did not confess. But the two of them had kissed and held hands. Even their parents vaguely knew.
Little Yu'er did not know that this was the state Chen Hansheng was pursuing. How could he break the silence?
Chen Hansheng politely greeted Du Mingwei, and the other party nodded in response.
In this kind of situation, the two girls were the main characters. Xiao Rongyu and Gu Xiaojin were talking about school matters amidst the sizzling sound of barbecue. Du Mingwei occasionally said a few words. From time to time, he pushed up his steamy glasses and looked curiously at Chen Hansheng.
Chen Hansheng basically grilled the meat and prawns for everyone, unless Xiao Rongyu specifically asked him something.
Halfway through the meal, his phone suddenly rang. Chen Hansheng glanced at it and found that it was an unknown number, so he put it down again.
After a while, the phone rang again. Xiao Rongyu reminded her, "Someone is looking for you."
Chen Hansheng picked up the phone. "Hello, who is this?"
"Xiao Chen, it's me."
It was Wang Zibo.
"Why are you calling me from an unfamiliar landline? What's the matter?" Chen Hansheng asked.
Wang Zibo said over the phone, "Is there anyone around you?"
Chen Hansheng glanced to the side. "Little Yu 'er is here. We're eating."
"Then come out for a moment. I have something to say," Wang Zibo said over the phone.
Xiao Rongyu heard that it was a man's voice over the phone. She was not very interested and continued to chat with Gu Xiaojin.
Chen Hansheng was also puzzled. He thought that there was nothing he could let Little Yu 'er know.
"It's Zibo. It's too noisy inside. I can't hear clearly. I'll go out and answer it."
Chen Hansheng found an excuse.
Xiao Rongyu nodded.
After leaving the barbecue restaurant, Chen Hansheng breathed in the cold air outside. He lit a cigarette and said, "There's no one around me right now. What's so important to you?"
Wang Zibo lowered his voice. "Is it convenient for you to come to a western restaurant near Xinshikou? Huang Hui is there too."
Chen Hansheng was stunned. "You met Huang Hui for dinner?"
"Yes and no."
Wang Zibo said over the phone, "Huang Hui has officially started working in Jianye. She was supposed to have dinner with her friends today. Then she called the dormitory and asked me to come."
Chen Hansheng listened calmly. Things were not so simple.
"When we were eating just now, Huang Hui joked and asked me if I could treat her. I said yes."
After Wang Zibo finished speaking, the phone suddenly became quiet. He asked several times in a row, "Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen, are you there?"
After a while, Chen Hansheng said, "No wonder you don't want Xiao Rongyu to know. You know it's a waste of money. You should pay the bill."
"It's not like that."
Wang Zibo explained, "I said on QQ that I would treat her to dinner. We just happened to meet today."
Chen Hansheng sneered. "Then treat her. Why did you call me?"
He was about to hang up the phone when Wang Zibo hurriedly stopped him. "I don't have enough cash on me. The meal is a bit expensive. It's not good to tell others about it."
Chen Hansheng asked, "How much did it cost?"
"About 800 for three people."
"Did you drink?"
Chen Hansheng immediately judged.
"I drank some red wine."
Wang Zibo said hesitantly.
Chen Hansheng fell into silence again. Wang Zibo said with a pleading tone, "I pretended to go to the bathroom and called you. It can't be too long. Come quickly."
If this person was not Wang Zibo, Chen Hansheng would not have cared. There were so many bootlickers in the world. There would not be one more.
However, this was his childhood friend. If he really wanted to calculate, Chen Hansheng also had some responsibility. After all, they met on the train to Sichuan and Chongqing.
Chen Hansheng thought about it and went back to the barbecue restaurant first. He pulled Xiao Rongyu out alone and said that "Wang Zibo is not feeling well" as an excuse to go see him.
Xiao Rongyu was also worried when he heard that. "I'll go with you."
"No need."
Chen Hansheng waved his hand. "You can continue to eat with them. I'll call you later."
While the two were talking outside, Du Mingwei and Gu Xiaojin were also talking inside.
"Is this Xiao Rongyu's boyfriend? He looks very ordinary."
Du Mingwei was a little surprised. "He Can is much more handsome than him. Xiao Rongyu doesn't even look at him."
Gu Xiaojin said, "They are not boyfriend and girlfriend yet. Chen Hansheng has never confessed since he went to university. Little Yu 'er is angry and anxious, but she can't do anything about it."
"I see."
Du Mingwei shook his head. He could not understand.
After a while, Xiao Rongyu came back. She explained the reason for Chen Hansheng. After eating, Xiao Rongyu held Gu Xiaojin's hand and prepared to go out.
"The bill hasn't been paid yet."
Du Mingwei was a little surprised.
At this time, a waiter came over and said, "Your table has been paid."
Gu Xiaojin hit Xiao Rongyu lightly. "Why didn't you tell us that you were secretly paying?"
"I didn't give them the bill."
Xiao Rongyu shook her head.
"Then why did you go out so casually?"
Gu Xiaojin said, "Aren't you worried that they will treat you as a freeloader?"
"Because Chen Hansheng will definitely do these things well."
Xiao Rongyu's face was a little proud.
Gu Xiaojin looked at Du Mingwei meaningfully. This should be the reason why Chen Hansheng pursued Xiao Rongyu.
Chen Hansheng went all the way to the western restaurant at the entrance of the new market. He was going to give Wang Zibo a slap in the face, but the moment he saw Wang Zibo's eyes, Chen Hansheng suddenly changed his mind.
There were too many emotions in his eyes. There was self-esteem, heartache in the face of the high price, and a kind of emotional expectation.
"This is my childhood friend, Chen Hansheng."
Wang Zibo stood up happily and introduced.
However, Huang Hui was a little unnatural in front of Chen Hansheng. After a simple greeting, she hurriedly finished eating and left.
There was still a lot of leftovers from the 800 RMB candlelight red wine western meal. Wang Zibo was reluctant to waste it. While stuffing the food into his mouth, he forced a smile and said, "Xiao Chen, you should eat some too. It's 800 RMB."
Chen Hansheng sighed in his heart. 800 RMB? Just now, the 4 of them ate barbecued meat and it only cost around 80 RMB.
This is what a bootlicker is like!
