Chapter 242 - 242: Starbucks and roasted sweet potatoes

Translator: 549690339

They had lunch at a restaurant by the Qinhuai River. Chen hansheng asked for a private room by the street.

The decoration in the private room was both modern and retro. Modern meant that there was a TV and air conditioning, and retro meant that the entrance was carved with flowers. The tables and chairs were also octagonal tables made of mahogany, giving off an antique atmosphere.

In addition, the windows of the private room were not pushed outward, and needed to be held up by a wooden stick. When Bian Shishi curiously opened the window, everyone in the room widened their eyes, afraid that the stick would fall.

If it hit the passerby, Ximen Qing, would they still be able to eat this meal? “Why are you all looking at me like that?”

Bian Shi Shi closed the window, and everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

“No, no.”

Everyone was too embarrassed to admit it. Chen hansheng poured some water from the teapot and said to Wang Zibo, “”Come on, dalang, it’s time to take your medicine.”

“Get lost! ”

Wang Zibo took the cup away with a red face.

Chen hansheng laughed as he helped the others to fill their glasses. This restaurant was so ancient that it was magical. The ordering ladies were all wearing ancient clothes. Chen hansheng picked seven specialty dishes and estimated that the five of them should be able to finish them.

The scenery by the window was very good. Not far away was the Qinhuai River. It was a bit desolate in late autumn, and all the pleasure boats were parked on the shore. However, the long Street of the headmaster’s temple was always crowded with people, especially students and couples.

They were holding hands. The girl was holding a stick of candied Haws, pointing at the expensive and beautiful accessories and discussing them with her boyfriend. The boy looked at the price and estimated that he couldn’t afford them now, so he pretended not to care.

However, after taking a few steps, he turned around and remembered the location of the shop. Perhaps he had already planned to save up money to give his girlfriend a surprise on a certain holiday.

The relationship on campus was so pure and beautiful that it made one’s heart ache.

Chen hansheng was munching on the melon seeds given by the shop owner and looking out of the window when Xiao rongyu, who was beside him, suddenly pushed him.

“Why?”

“I also want to eat that.”

Xiao Yu ‘er pointed at the old man selling candied Haws and said pitifully.

Chen hansheng did not want to move, so he shirked and said, ” it’s time for dinner. I ordered sweet and sour ribs. They taste almost the same.

I won’t. Xiao Chen, please …

Xiao rongyu dragged out her words. The autumn wind blew in from outside the window, but she did not feel cold. It only ruffled her untied hair, and her oval face, hidden under her hair, had a cute pride.

“Alright, I’ll go down for a smoke too.”

Chen hansheng shook his head and stood up. If there was no one else around, he might have just pretended to be dead. However, there were two other girls around, and Xiao rongyu’s roommate, Bian Shishi, was also there. Chen hansheng would protect Xiao rongyu’s pride.

Not long after, Chen hansheng returned. As he stepped on the creaking wooden stairs, he could hear Bian Shishi’s voice.

Chen hansheng isn’t as lazy as you said. He bought candied gourd just like you told him to. I think he’s already a good boyfriend.

“You can’t praise him, or else you’ll be cocky again.”

This was Xiao rongyu speaking, but the satisfaction and joy in her tone could not be concealed.

Chen hansheng pushed the door open and entered. All the girls in the room exclaimed in surprise, because he had not only bought Xiao rongyu candied Haws, but also a stick for every girl.

Chen hansheng, it’s a pity that you’re not from Eastern University. Otherwise, you’d have to support the girls in our dormitory.

Bian Shishi took the candied gourd with a smile.

She did not mean to look down on the School of Finance. She meant that if Chen hansheng and Xiaoyu were from the same school, all the girls in the dormitory had to be arranged well.

If a girl was in a relationship, she could support a girl in the dormitory by herself.When a guy fell in love, he had to rely on his dormitory brother to support him.

“If I were from Tokyo University, I would have to get a girlfriend from Tsinghua or Peking University. Jianye University would be the minimum standard.”

Chen hansheng said with a smile.

“Pfft, if you go to Tsinghua or Peking University, won’t you be dating girls from

Harvard?”

Xiaoyu pinched Chen hansheng.

Zhen Xiaoyu also took the candied gourd and sighed, ” I’ve been with commander Chen since my first year. This is the first time I’ve enjoyed this kind of treatment. This is really a memorable moment.

The former was just a first-year student who did not know anything. Later, she gradually grew to her current position, but she often called him ” commander Chen. this was the social relationship between the two of them at the beginning.

Of course, Wang Zibo did not forget about it. Chen hansheng handed him the candied gourd, but he rejected it in disdain.”What candied gourd? hurry up and eat. I still have something to do later.”

Wang Zibo’s attitude caused the atmosphere in the room to stagnate for a moment, but the dishes were soon served. Salted duck, sweet and sour ribs, braised meatballs, Phoenix-tail prawns, steamed egg salamander, dried chicken sauce, and a large bowl of seasonal vegetable soup. They were all specialties of jianmo and East Jiangsu Province.

The girls were soon immersed in the food and talked about the recent entertainment news and campus gossip.

Chen hansheng and Wang Zibo ate quickly. They were done after filling their stomachs. The taste of the food was average, far inferior to that of the small restaurant next to the train station.

Chen hansheng glanced at the girls. They seemed to have just picked up their chopsticks, and Xiaoyu had only finished half of the meatball in her bowl.

“It’s really slow,”

Chen hansheng took out a cigarette and wondered if he should ask Wang Zibo to go down and smoke. Xiaoyu gently patted his knee and then pointed to another window in the room, indicating that they should smoke there and not go downstairs.

“I’ll leave after I finish this cigarette.” Wang Zibo said as he flicked the cigarette ash.

“So fast.”

Chen hansheng looked at him.

Wang Zibo nodded. I still have something to do. I’ll treat you and little Yu ‘er to a meal next time.

After he finished speaking, he took a few deep breaths and left after saying goodbye to everyone. Chen hansheng watched Wang Zibo’s back as he ran to the bus stop from the second floor and remained silent.

“Little Chen, since Zibo has gone back, you should come over and chat with us.” Little Yu ‘er called out from the table.

“Sure, what are you guys talking about? let’s not brag. Be it the entertainment or the cultural circle, there’s nothing I don’t know.”

Wang Zibo returned to the entrance of the University of Science and Technology. He looked at the time and saw that it was about 1:50. He stood at the entrance and looked around as if he was waiting for someone.

The temperature outside was much colder than in the restaurant. The autumn wind was like a sharp sickle, blowing across the top of the Sycamore tree. The withered yellow leaves fell down with a ” shua shua ” sound. Not far away, the cleaning lady was tidying up the place with difficulty.

After waiting for another 15 minutes, Wang Zibo’s hands and feet started to turn cold. It was useless to keep breathing. Fortunately, there were still roasted sweet potatoes sold on the school Street. He remembered that Chen hansheng had just used one sweet potato to coax the little fish, so he went to buy one.

The soft and warm sweet potato in his hand felt much better.

At half past two, a voice came from behind. “Zibo, I’m really sorry that I woke up a little late. How long have you been waiting?

“It’s fine, I just arrived.”

Wang Zibo walked over and said.

“I knew it. It’s such a cold day, how could you be here at 2 0 ‘clock sharp?”

Huang Hui smiled and took off her scarf.

Wang Zibo took out a sweet potato from his pocket.”This is for you,”

Huang Hui glanced at him. how old are you? why are you still eating this? this is what those poor people who couldn’t afford to eat in the past used to eat.

“It’s very sweet, soft and sticky.”

Wang Zibo argued.

then you can eat it. I don’t want it anyway. If you really can’t eat it, I’ll throw it away.

let’s go. Huang Hui pulled Wang Zibo along. I saw a Starbucks in front of us during the interview yesterday. Let’s go there and sit.
