Cheng Cheng, who had just finished her introduction, realized that Jiujiu's short sentence had attracted so many people's attention. She instantly regretted that she had said too much. Of course, she also felt that Jiujiu must have deliberately stolen her limelight.
Jiujiu, who had no idea that Cheng Cheng had stolen her limelight, was talking to Qian Jiayu about going out to eat skewers after class.
Qian Jiayu wanted Jiujiu to take him to play games with his girlfriend, so Jiujiu took the opportunity to extort a barbecue from Qian Jiayu.
Qian Jiayu and Jiujiu haggled for a long time. In the end, Jiujiu had something on Qian Jiayu, so he could only agree dejectedly.
Jiujiu, who had gotten a free barbecue, held her head high like a rooster who had won a battle. She was so proud.
After Jiujiu's introduction, the people behind her were enlightened. Most of them followed Jiujiu's example and introduced themselves.
After the self-introduction, the head teacher said a few words about tomorrow's military training uniforms and then directly dismissed the class.
Jiujiu extorted a barbecue from Qian Jiayu and excitedly dragged him to eat barbecue.
Halfway there, she saw that Jing Ke was about to go back. Jiujiu asked directly, "Jing Ke, aren't you coming with me?"
Seeing Jiujiu and Qian Jiayu turning back at the same time, Jing Ke's eyes darkened. "No."
"Don't be like that. It's not easy to extort money from Qian Jiayu. How can I let him off so easily?"
Jiujiu grabbed Jing Ke's arm and pulled him out, muttering, "I have a small stomach, so I don't eat much. Qian Jiayu should have it too easily. Help me eat."
Qian Jiayu, who had thought that Jiujiu would not be able to eat much by herself, saw that Jiujiu had brought Jing Ke over. He covered his chest with heartache and wailed, "Do you have to be so cruel? Sister Qiao, I was wrong. I was wrong.
"If apologies are useful, why do we need the police?" Jiujiu smirked. "I'm a vengeful person. If I don't teach you a lesson, it won't be enough to appease my anger. Let's go. I'll have two skewers of chicken wings, half a catty of beef, half a catty of mutton, and …"
"Sister Qiao, can you finish all of this by yourself?"
Jiujiu hugged Jing Ke's arm and smiled like a little fox who had succeeded in stealing fish. "Even if I can't finish it, I still have Jing Ke. Isn't that right, Jing Ke?"
Jiujiu raised her head and smiled at Jing Ke.
Qian Jiayu covered his wallet with tears in his eyes when he saw Jing Ke dazzled by Jiujiu's smile.
He completely understood what it meant to be a woman. Some people were difficult to deal with.
Jiujiu, Qian Jiayu and Jing Ke walked out laughing. Cheng Cheng wanted to interrupt and follow them, but Jiujiu and the other two were so close that she couldn't get a word in edgewise. She could only watch Jiujiu, Qian Jiayu and Jing Ke walk away.
The three of them arrived at the barbecue restaurant and found a place to sit down.
Jiujiu rested her chin on one hand and watched Qian Jiayu order with the boss. She wanted to drink fruit beer and the waitress wanted to drink fruit beer.
When Jiujiu made a fuss about Qian Jiayu wanting to eat barbecue, Jing Ke didn't say anything. But when he heard Jiujiu say that she wanted to drink fruit beer, Jing Ke frowned and said to the waitress, "Just give her a bottle of orange juice."
Jiujiu said, "I want to drink fruit beer."
"Students are not allowed to drink."
"I'm not drinking. I'm drinking fruit beer." Jiujiu argued. "The alcohol content in fruit beer is very low. Besides, I only drank a little, so it's not considered drinking."
"How can you use the word 'round' like that?" Jing Ke's face darkened and his temperament instantly became cold and hard.
The waitress, who had been happily waiting for Jiujiu and Jing Ke to discuss the fruit beer, ran away when she saw Jing Ke's expression.
Jiujiu, "…"
It was one thing for him to eat meat and not drink alcohol, but he didn't even allow her to drink fruit beer with a low alcohol content.
Jiujiu lifted her foot to kick Jing Ke's leg under the table, but instead of kicking Jing Ke, she kicked the leg of the table.
Jiujiu grimaced in pain. Jing Ke couldn't keep a straight face anymore. He smiled and asked, "I just didn't let you drink fruit beer. Do you have to be so angry?"
Jiujiu pursed her lips. She wasn't angry. It was obvious that she had kicked the table and it hurt badly.
Qian Jiayu, who had finished ordering, came back with two skewers of barbecued chicken wings.
Upon seeing the barbecued chicken wings, Jiujiu stopped being angry with Jing Ke. She took the chicken wings and started to eat. As she ate, she asked, "Didn't you say that you would be back in a while? Why are you back so soon?"
Qian Jiayu said, "I told the uncle that I had to bring some back later, so I asked him to give me the two chicken wings from the next table."
Jiujiu said, "Is that okay?"
"It's okay even if it's not okay." Qian Jiayu looked at Jiujiu with resentment. "Sister Qiao, I've been so good to you. You won't cheat me tonight, right?"
Qian Jiayu's resentful eyes made it seem as if Jiujiu was a heartless person who had abandoned him. Jiujiu had goosebumps all over her body. She couldn't even eat the delicious chicken wings anymore.
Jiujiu swallowed the chicken wings in her mouth with difficulty. She looked at Qian Jiayu and said, "Don't be like this. I'm scared."
She was like the female ghost in A Chinese Ghost Story. She was so scary.
Qian Jiayu felt as if an arrow had shot through his heart. This was too hurtful.
Qian Jiayu felt that if he continued to talk to Jiujiu, he would definitely be angered to death, so he said to Jing Ke, "Jing Ke, I just asked the boss. He said that there's a shortage of people here at night. If you want to work part-time, you can come here directly after self-study. It'll be ten yuan an hour. What do you think?"
Although ten yuan was not much, two hours a night was enough to cover the cost of food for a day. Moreover, Jing Ke was already preparing to find a job as a tutor after the military training ended. This way, he wouldn't have to worry about his family's living expenses.
Jing Ke nodded. "Okay."
"If you think it's okay, I'll talk to the boss later. He said that there are quite a lot of people asking about this today."
"Sorry to trouble you."
Jing Ke was a taciturn person. He was good at doing practical things, but he was not good at communicating with others. Even if he talked to Jiujiu, it was because he was too close to Jiujiu and Jiujiu had a good personality.
Qian Jiayu, on the other hand, was different. Qian Jiayu was an easy-going person. He could strike up a conversation with anyone. With him as the go-between, there was no mistake.
As soon as Qian Jiayu left, Jiujiu put down the chicken wings that she was eating happily and looked at Jing Ke. "You want to work part-time?"
Jing Ke nodded. "My family's finances are tight and I want to earn some money to reduce the burden on my family."
When he said this, Jing Ke was very honest and didn't feel inferior because of his family's financial situation at all.
Jiujiu nodded and continued eating the chicken wings.
Soon, the barbecue was served and the orange juice that Jing Ke asked the waitress to serve was also served.
Seeing that it was orange juice and not fruit beer, Jiujiu pouted and Qian Jiayu wanted to complain.
But thinking of Jiujiu's sharp tongue and the fact that Jiujiu had something on him, he could only pretend that he didn't see it.
