The ancients valued the ruler and jade more than the inch of shade.
This is a warning that Cao Aiqing often uttered when her grandfather, who taught history, taught her how to read and digit when she was a child.
This kind of influence since childhood is a major factor in her developing a self-disciplined personality. She is never late when making appointments with others, and will even go ahead of schedule. Grandpa said that this is a kind of respect in life, even now Young people's concept of time is no longer so strict, but after years of teaching by words and deeds, it has become her habit.
Cao Aiqing thought that classmate He would not come early like him. After all, boys like him are usually night owls and like to play games. It is rare that it is a weekend, and he may have just gotten up now.
"I'm going out, have you gotten up?"
Cao Aiqing sent He Tianran such a message after entering the mall. The meaning was that it would be better if the other party arrived early or was on the way. If the other party hadn't gotten up yet, there was no need to be too anxious.
After waiting for a while, the news came to nothing, so the situation was probably the latter.
Cao Aiqing thought for a while and decided to go shopping in the mall.
At this time, she heard someone singing in the guitar shop on the second floor. The voice was somewhat familiar, but the singing was in Japanese. She couldn't remember who it was for a while. This aroused her curiosity and decided to go up and have a look.
The shopping mall was very big, and it was enough to go up to the second floor. She walked slowly towards the guitar store. When there were still more than ten steps left, she suddenly heard a slightly harsh voice behind her.
"Classmate Cao...the restaurant is on the third floor."
She turned around in surprise and saw He Tianran standing behind her at some point.
The boy was dressed in black, with a black sweatshirt, black leggings, and a black peaked cap on his head, which was also covered with the hood of the sweatshirt. His whole figure seemed to be deliberately hidden in the shadows. If he said something like this at this time, Cao Aiqing wouldn't be too surprised by the line "Three years and three years later".
how to say……
It really fits the character of Mr. He.
After He Tianran said this, he turned around and walked towards the escalator. Fortunately, the girl was used to his taciturn character and kept up with his pace. After thinking about it in her mind, she mustered up the courage to say:
"Classmate He...you seem to be an undercover agent today."
"???"
"Isn't it true? You just walked without making a sound, and you were dressed like that, and you showed up so suddenly. I was really afraid that you would say, there is a bomb in this mall, let's evacuate quickly or something like that!"
Looking at the girl next to him who frowned, lowered her voice, and seemed to be imitating the tone in the TV series, He Tianran suddenly realized that she seemed to be what he said, and that she was not that difficult to get in touch with.
"Ahem, no, I'm used to dressing like this. By the way, why did you arrive so early?"
"Hey, hey, classmate He, you are not the same!"
Cao Aiqing retorted, and the two of them went up the escalator, entered the restaurant, found a seat near the back, and sat down separately.
Without Wen Liang's help, He Tianran was struggling to find topics to chat with girls. Cao Aiqing lowered his head, his eyes constantly wandering on the menu and mobile phone interface, as if he was comparing the prices of online packages and physical stores.
Today, the girl wore a scorpion braid hanging down her chest. Two strands of long hair were picked out on the left and right sides of her forehead and fell naturally. She had a gentle and pleasant temperament. He Tianran thought about it and said:
"I've never seen you with this kind of hairstyle in school before. It looks pretty..."
Another set of lessons learned and used now. I remembered that Wen Liang dressed up today to match her video shooting. Could it be that Cao Aiqing also wanted to have dinner with her, so...
This thought was immediately cut off by his reason. This kind of fantasy was not suitable for him.
Just listen to Cao Aiqing laugh and say:
"Really? I learned it from my mother recently. I tried it when I went out today. However, it is too troublesome to do. I don't have time to clean it up when I go to school. But you, classmate He..."
Speaking of this, Cao Aiqing suddenly looked around, and then said in a low voice that even He Tianran couldn't help but lean forward:
"We are all indoors now, classmate He. Can you take off one of your two hats? It shouldn't be exposed!"
He Tianran was embarrassed. He coughed dryly and pulled down the hood of his sweatshirt, revealing most of his face.
Cao Aiqing felt that the classmate He in front of him was really interesting. He was silent in school and mysterious outside of school, but the contrast with his image when chatting online was huge.
I often hear that introverts show another side on the Internet. Is this the same for him?
Seeing Cao Aiqing scrolling through his cell phone while waiting for food, He Tianran felt that he had really failed. It was really the right time for a boy to take the initiative at this time.
"Buzz~"
The phone in his bag vibrated with a message. He Tianran thought it was from Wen Liang. He leaned back and clicked on it -
"(≧▽≦)/Would you feel better if we chatted like this?"
He raised his head, and Cao Aiqing opposite him smiled at him and raised his phone, then continued tapping with his fingers.
"I feel like Mr. He is a little worried today and doesn't talk much!"
He Tianran couldn't say it, but he was very lively in his heart. He started with an emoticon that said, "I'm a straight man, I don't understand this, sister."
Thousands of threads were condensed into a picture. Cao Aiqing smiled when he saw it. At this moment, the subtle strangeness between the two gradually disappeared.
Even though the other party is right in front of me, he still wants to accommodate me and use this method. Am I being too bad?
He Tianran put down his phone and remembered what the short-haired girl said to him.
I can,
I can chat with classmate Cao very well.
He encouraged himself in his heart and spoke slowly:
"Classmate Cao...you are really easy to get in touch with..."
Cao Aiqing still had a smile on her face. She also put down her phone and folded her hands on the table.
"I've told you, but you still don't believe me."
"To be honest, you inviting me to dinner this time is quite sudden. Originally, I was just joking."
He Tianran raised the brim of his peaked cap, but Cao Aiqing pretended to be angry and said:
"You have to eat even if you are joking! I spent all my 100 yuan voucher! This is not a joke!"
"Eat! Definitely eat it! If I had known you were like this, we would have gone directly to the buffet next door. There are 48 per person at noon. There are seafood and lobsters. Not to mention a hundred dollars, I will give you a thousand dollars to eat!"
"Ah? You're not early..."
At this time, the waiter came up with the set meal. Cao Aiqing and He Tianran tacitly closed their mouths at the same time and looked at each other for a while. When the waiter came down, the girl covered her face and they both laughed in unison. got up.
In fact, the restaurant's set meal for two is a very good deal. In addition to the signature pineapple seafood fried rice, there are also meat dishes such as fried king prawns with curry, charcoal grilled pork neck, and coconut milk sago for dessert.
Being able to win this table with 68 yuan, even He Tianran somewhat admired Cao Aiqing's ability to save money.
"How did you get this hundred yuan voucher?"
Even He Tianran didn't expect that at this important moment of having lunch with his goddess, the question he wanted to ask from the bottom of his heart was this.
But maybe it was a mistake. When it came to the ability to pluck wool, the two of them really had their own opinions, so the topic continued unknowingly.
"Classmate He, you really look like a Capricorn who stepped out of a horoscope book!"
Cao Aiqing took a spoonful of sago and put it in his mouth, then shrugged his shoulders slightly and closed his eyes in pleasure.
"Ah? Is there such a thing?"
"Yes, Capricorn boys generally look strict and silent on the outside, tend to be rational in their thinking, and are also cautious about financial management. You have all these qualities!"
"What about you, Taurus?"
"Hey, you just said you were a Capricorn. Did you know that I am a Taurus?"
"...My former deskmate Ye Jiaqi told me that she was the life committee member."
He Tianran laughed, thinking that as the school's belle, although you have little information, this little bit of information can still be gleaned from your fans.
"Well, let me tell you, Taurus is a famous money-saving expert..."
Cao Aiqing did not doubt that he was there and began to talk endlessly about the zodiac signs. He Tianran listened carefully. Even though he was not interested in zodiac signs, he was still listening with interest at the moment.
During this period, he also discovered that Cao Aiqing seemed to like sweets. The meat dishes on the table were not touched much, and her bowl of sago was almost empty.
"Buzz~"
At the dinner table, He Tianran's cell phone suddenly vibrated. He picked it up and saw that it was a call from Wen Liang...
"Hey, Tianran, are you okay? It's been half an hour."
Wen Liang's worried words came from the receiver, He Tianran's heart tightened, and he looked at Cao Aiqing who had stopped talking opposite, and he showed an apologetic expression.
"Ah, I'll be right back, don't worry."
He pretended to chat for a few words and hung up the phone.
"You want to leave?" Cao Aiqing asked.
Looking at the dishes on the table, the dishes had not been touched much. This time, I asked Cao Aiqing out because I was looking for my mobile phone. I really don't know when the next time will be.
Just walk away like that?
He Tiantian was at war with heaven and man. Finally, he calmed down and showed a relaxed look, saying:
"No, I'm just going home. My family forgot to bring their keys, so I went to give them away. My home is very close. It's just across the street from Dongyuan Community. It's just a few steps away."
Cao Aiqing suddenly realized, "Oh, no wonder you arrived so early. Then you should come back quickly. I can't finish such a table of food by myself. It's such a waste!"
He Tianran promised: "Don't worry, I didn't even eat breakfast in order to eat your meal!"
The girl was amused. He Tianran walked out of his seat. He had just taken two steps when he suddenly turned around.
"By the way, you can help me eat this too. I don't like sweets very much."
As he spoke, he pushed his share of sago in front of Cao Aiqing, and added:
"Don't waste it as you said. I'll probably be back after you finish eating. Eat slowly. 32 yuan for a single order is not cheap..."
As if he was afraid of Cao Aiqing's rejection, he finished hastily and fled the restaurant as fast as he could.
Looking at the untouched dessert on the table, Cao Aiqing thought about what he had said about the constellations just now.
correct!
Capricorn and Taurus seem to be quite compatible.
Whether it's just being friends, or whatever... this mess.
