After her morning class, she went to Yang Yi's villa. In the afternoon, Ding Xiang stayed in the coffee shop alone.
In the middle of winter, the cold wind outside was like a knife, cutting one's face painfully. Unless the students had classes or activities, they would basically stay in the dormitory to surf the net, watch dramas, and play games. Sometimes, the coffee shop would not even have customers for half a day. Although it was fine for Ding Xiang not to open the shop, what else could she do?
Reading a book in a coffee shop alone was also a form of pleasure!
Ding Xiang was now sitting at the bar with a book in her hands, reading it with great interest.
"Ring, ring, ring!" The wind chime at the door rang, and the cold wind blew in, making Ding Xiang shiver.
She quickly stood up and looked up with a smile. "Hello, how may I help you …"
Her voice came to an abrupt halt, because the serious her met a naughty smiling face.
It was Guo Ziyi. This guy was really too much. He did not greet her in advance or say anything. He was waiting for Ding Xiang to mistake him for a customer and express his enthusiasm in the wrong place.
"Why are you here?" Ding Xiang asked, annoyed and amused. "Didn't you go home a few days ago?"
"Don't mention it. There were people at home a few days ago, but today, there's no one at home!" Guo Ziyi said gloomily. "My mom went back to visit my grandma yesterday, and my brother received a notice from the leader to go back to work. You know that it's inconvenient for him to travel back and forth in the countryside, so he definitely won't be back tonight. My sister didn't come back from her high school dormitory, and even my dad said that he has an event tonight and won't be home for dinner. I'm the only one left at home."
"Why didn't you go visit your grandma?" Ding Xiang asked, puzzled.
"My grandma's home is in Min Province, far away! I don't know how long it'll take. " Guo Ziyi waved his hand and said with a smile, "Anyway, I thought about it and decided to come back to school! At least I have you and Sister Huan here. "
Ding Xiang smiled and said, "Huanhuan isn't here. She went to Brother Yang's place! They're celebrating the Winter Solstice Festival today, so she won't be back tonight. "
Guo Ziyi's eyes darted around and asked, "Then why didn't you go with her? With Sister Huan's personality, it's impossible for her not to bring you along, right? Leaving you all alone in the house. "
"It's me who doesn't want to go. Big Brother Yang's family is having a family banquet. It's not appropriate for me to go," Ding Xiang explained.
"Hey, sister Ding Xiang, you are too honest!" Guo Ziyi said cheerfully, "However, what a coincidence. You and I were both left alone. Should we hug each other and cry together?"
Ding Xiang had long been accustomed to this fellow's flowery personality and did not respond. She just sat there and looked at him with a smile.
In the end, Guo Ziyi didn't have the guts to be lustful. Being stared at by Ding Xiang's pure eyes that seemed to be able to see through one's soul, he smiled awkwardly and scratched his head.
"Sister Ding Xiang, do you have any plans tonight?" Guo Ziyi scratched his head and asked, not knowing if he wanted to change the topic or if he had other ideas.
"No …" Ding Xiang shook her head.
"Then let's go eat together! It just so happens that it's the Winter Solstice and everyone is celebrating. The two of us can go out and play together on the pedestrian street in Tingshan District. After dinner, we can go out and play. Usually, we're either in school or in a coffee shop. How boring! "Guo Ziyi urged," I think we should go out and see the world more often. "
Ding Xiang wanted to refuse at first, but what Guo Ziyi said later did move her heart.
Ever since the Yang Yi helped her solve the problems at home in the summer, Ding Xiang's thoughts had changed. She didn't need to put too much energy into the children in the stockade anymore. Instead, she began to think about her own future. For example, she had begun to adjust her mentality and accept Mo Xiaojuan's arrangements to learn how to be an agent. This was a good improvement.
Now, Guo Ziyi's invitation also made Ding Xiang want to experience more of her life as a university student with only a year and a half left. Outside the campus, she should not only work and part-time. Occasionally, she should also go shopping with her classmates and understand the city, so that she could have more beautiful memories of her youth.
Therefore, Ding Xiang hesitated for a while before finally nodding her head.
…
Guo Ziyi knew that Ding Xiang didn't like to be extravagant, so the two of them had dinner at a northeastern dumpling restaurant on the pedestrian street that was similar to a food stall.
They didn't order too many dishes. The two of them ate a plate of San Xian dumplings, a plate of Chinese cabbage and meat dumplings, as well as Guo Ziyi's favorite dishes, Dongbei Double Cooked Pork Slices, and a plate of candied sweet potatoes that Ding Xiang had never eaten before.
It had to be said that Guo Ziyi had a big appetite, and Ding Xiang's small body could actually eat a lot! The two of them finished the five big plates of dishes and a few bowls of rice.
"Ugh …" After eating, Ding Xiang and Guo Ziyi looked at each other, who was so full that they couldn't stand up. They couldn't help but laugh. Ding Xiang even burped as she laughed. Then, the two of them laughed even louder.
"Let's go, Sister Ding Xiang, let's go out for a walk!" After paying the bill, Guo Ziyi extended his hand to Ding Xiang.
Ding Xiang hesitated for a while, but still accepted his "kindness" and let him help her up.
However, at the entrance of the restaurant, either Guo Ziyi didn't have the guts, or Ding Xiang was embarrassed. Anyway, no one could see who let go of his hand first. The two of them separated and walked out one after another.
It was still very cold outside, but the pedestrian street was bustling with people, so the cold air wasn't too strong. Moreover, they had just finished eating, so the heat in their bodies made their faces red. The two of them walked side by side on the pedestrian street slowly, so they didn't feel cold.
"Sister Ding Xiang, after graduation, what are your plans?" Guo Ziyi took the initiative to start a conversation and asked.
Their stroll was more like digestion, because they were walking in crowded places, looking left and right, but didn't have any intention of picking out some goods from the shops on both sides.
"What do you mean?" Ding Xiang looked at Guo Ziyi, puzzled.
"Don't tell me you still want to go back to Xiangxi, don't tell me you still want to go back to the mountains?" Guo Ziyi hesitated for a moment, then added, "I don't mean anything else. It's not that your hometown isn't good, but I feel that if you go back, it would be a pity."
Ding Xiang smiled and said, "I understand what you mean, I don't want to go back. Brother Yang is right, even if I go back to teach, the strength I can contribute is limited. It wasn't easy to get out, so I should work hard, live a good life, and set an example for my brothers and sisters, encouraging them to study hard and work hard to get out of the mountains."
"Of course, if you want to ask me what my plans are, aren't you watching right now?" Ding Xiang stretched out her left fist and gently hammered Guo Ziyi's shoulder, smiled and said, "I'm not learning to be an agent. In the future, if there's a chance, or if you think highly of me, I'll be your agent. If you don't think highly of me, then it's okay, sister Xiaojuan will find you an experienced agent. I'll continue to learn and be the agent for the company's newcomers, or start as an assistant … "
"Hey, sister Ding Xiang, look at what you're saying, how could I look down on you?" Guo Ziyi's face was full of joy, he couldn't stop smiling and said, "I thought you were just playing around, but if you really want to be my agent, I can't ask for anything more!"
In fact, Guo Ziyi still had a lot to say to Ding Xiang.
