Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lu Qianling was very familiar with the surrounding environment of the school. When they walked out of the small alley, she even took the initiative to tell Meng Chuyuan which restaurant’s food was delicious and which place was fun.
Meng Chuyuan listened to her chatter and said in admiration, “It seems that you often sneak out of school.”
“I come out to play occasionally, you know, just to relax.” She scratched her head in embarrassment, not daring to look Meng Chuyuan in the eye.
They were located in Wei City’s CBD. The location was ideal and convenient. There were shopping malls and residential buildings nearby. Everything was available and it was very lively. Moreover, there were all kinds of leisure and entertainment facilities here. It was undoubtedly a temptation for young people.
Lu Qianling chose a relatively high-end and clean trendy restaurant nearby. Previously, because her pocket money was tight, she did not dare to step into this place.
Coincidentally, Meng Chuyuan was also here today, so Lu Qianling happily pulled her over to share a meal together. “My treat, my treat.”
Her pocket money had increased by several times now. Compared to before, she was much more generous. This also gave Lu Qianling the confidence to say the words “my treat”.
It did not matter. Meng Chuyuan would never decline such an offer anyway.
At noon, there were a lot of people in the restaurant. It took them some time to get a number and line up.
The two of them sat in the waiting area beside the entrance. Lu Qianling held the brochure of this restaurant in her hand and casually looked at it a few times. She muttered, “We really came at the wrong time. It’s already noon, and today is still Saturday.”
“What’s the hurry? Good things are worth waiting for.”
Meng Chuyuan usually did not go to shops that required people to queue up with a number because she felt that it was a waste of time. Instead of waiting here with a number, it was better to find another shop that could directly take her order.
However, Lu Qianling was obsessed with this restaurant, so Meng Chuyuan could only accommodate her and satisfy her.
“Last night, Second Brother and I went out for dinner. I also wanted to eat at this restaurant but there were too many people at that time, so I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to make it for the evening self-study session.”
Now, she had already etched her studies deep in her mind. No matter what she did, she would always put her lessons first.
After all, it was five thousand yuan a week. If she didn’t cherish it, there might not be a next time.
Lu Qianling suddenly closed the booklet in her hand and leaned over to whisper, “If I persist until the college entrance examination, do you think I can save up enough pocket money to get a down payment for a house?”
Meng Chuyuan frowned slightly and smiled. “Try? We’ll know if it’s enough then.”
Lu Qianling thought about it carefully and finally shook her head. “It’s going to take too long. Let’s take it one step at a time.”
“You have to attend your classes anyway, no matter what. What do you mean take it one step at a time?” Meng Chuyuan was curious.
She had just entered her second year of high school and still had more than a year to work hard. If she studied hard now, she might be able to save a lot of money. She might even be able to attend a good university in the future.
“That’s different. If I stop asking you for this money one day, I can secretly skip a few classes.’
Meng Chuyuan asked, “You don’t want to go to university anymore?”
She even responded with some pride. “My mother said she’d send me abroad.”
Lu Qianling’s current grades were far from the university admission score. She had missed too many classes in the past and was always absent. She also had difficulties completing her homework on time. In the eyes of many teachers, she might have already been classified as a poor student.
In such an environment where no one thought highly of her, she was not motivated either.
Meng Chuyuan saw that she had the idea of going overseas and did not care about her current grades. She asked mercilessly, “Then how’s your foreign language studies? Do you know basic daily communication? If you go overseas in the future, can you understand what others say?”
. ‘ Faced with Meng Chuyuan’s three consecutive questions, she suddenly fell silent.
Seeing her hesitation, Meng Chuyuan knew that she had hit the nail on the head.
Lu Qianling looked up. After careful consideration, she resigned herself to fate and said, “I guess I still have to study.”
After 15 minutes, they were finally next on the list.
Lu Qianling took the menu and let Meng Chuyuan order first. After she finished ordering, Lu Qianling added a few of her favorite dishes and paid the bill in one go.
“I have to say, the environment of this trendy restaurant is indeed not bad. I quite like the retro style.”
While Lu Qianling was waiting for the food to be served, she raised her phone and took photos of every corner of the restaurant. She didn’t even leave out any of the rare things she saw.
“Let’s take a photo here to record down our new experience.” Lu Qianling turned on the front camera and took the initiative to go over to Meng Chuyuan’s side.
Meng Chuyuan was forced to do a peace sign and cooperate with her.
“It’s done.” Lu Qianling scrolled through the photos she had just taken. She felt that she did not stand out in the photos of her and Meng Chuyuan. “Damn, why are you so good-looking? You look great in every photo.”
Lu Qianling couldn’t bear to delete every single one of them, but she hadn’t managed her expression well in them and she looked like a clown next to Meng
Chuyuan.
Meng Chuyuan looked up and smiled. “You’re not bad yourself.”
Lu Qianling said self-deprecatingly, “I’m too far behind.”
She picked a few that she thought looked better and sent them to Meng Chuyuan. She wanted to send a copy to Lu Qingye as well.
Lu Qianling flipped through her contact list twice but did not find Lu Qingye’s
WeChat. She was a little puzzled. “Did he delete me?”
“Delete what?” Her words were heard by Meng Chuyuan.
She subconsciously replied, “WeChat, I can’t find someone.”
Meng Chuyuan: “Even if you delete them, you can still find them. They won’t disappear.”
Lu Qianling was silent for a few minutes. She suddenly realized something, so she searched through the list of people she blocked.
She pulled Lu Qingye out of the blacklist and sent him the photos.
Coincidentally, the dishes were served at this moment. Lu Qianling was busy setting up the plates to take her photos again and did not have the time to leave a message for Lu Qingye.
Meng Chuyuan wiped down the cutlery and gave Lu Qianling some time to take photos.
Lu Qianling looked at Meng Chuyuan’s calm expression. She did not share her joy of wanting to record and share her experiences on social media. “Why aren’t you filming?”
“Do I need to film it?” she asked instead.
After waiting for so long, Meng Chuyuan only wanted to eat quickly.
Lu Qianling: “It’s okay, I’ll send it to you.”
After a while, Meng Chuyuan’s phone on the table vibrated a few times.
At the same time…
Lu Qingye had just come out of the bathroom after taking a shower. As he dried his hair, he glanced at his phone.
He hadn’t received Lu Qianling’s WeChat message for a few days, but he unexpectedly received one today.
Lu Qingye roughly opened and took a glance at the message. He originally wanted to ignore it and read his emails directly, but he suddenly saw Meng Chuyuan’s figure.
Lu Qingye thought it was an illusion. He clicked on it and took a closer look. Beside Lu Qianling was really Meng Chuyuan.
She was wearing a light purple French dress. Her long hair was draped over her shoulders, and her wedding ring was revealed. At a glance, it was more or less eye-catching.
He looked at it for a few seconds and suddenly moved the phone away. He spread his fingers and looked at the ring on his finger..
