The call was from Zheng Fang, a girl she met in the study room of Jiangnan University on the eve of the graduate examination.
"Hey, Zheng Fang, why are you calling me?"
"..."
"Oh, I'm free, I haven't eaten yet."
"..."
"Well, okay, tell me a place."
"..."
"Bantian Yao Grilled Fish on Longnan Road? Okay, I understand."
Lin Yue hung up the phone, drove to Longnan Road, found the location Zheng Fang mentioned, found every opportunity to drive, walked into the restaurant, and came to the window seat on the second floor.
When the two girls saw him coming up, they waved excitedly.
He walked across from the two of them, pulled out a chair and sat down.
"It's so good. You want to treat me to a meal. Don't you cry that you are poor?"
Zheng Fang made a face at him: "Stingy guy."
The last time we had dinner together, she called Lin Yue Mining Man, and Lin Yue called her Qi Fu. He didn't forget to have a few words with him when they got off the bus.
Zhao Nannan said: "Isn't this a holiday? I want to have a meal with you before going home."
"oh."
Lin Yue smiled and said, "It seems you really like grilled fish."
Zhao Nannan was very sincere and said with a little apology: "We can't afford the expensive one, just this... my roommate gave me a discount coupon two days ago."
"I see." Lin Yue said, "Speaking of it, I should put it into practice for you."
"Since the mine man wants to treat us, let's find a high-end restaurant instead?"
Zheng Fang didn't care about that much. When she heard Lin Yue say this, she naturally wanted to hit the snake with a stick.
"Zheng Fang." Zhao Nannan poked her shoulder: "Can you be more serious?"
Zheng Fang stuck out her tongue at her with a playful look on her face.
At this time, the waiter came over, put a rectangular dinner plate on the induction cooker, served two plates of delicious side dishes, and asked them what they wanted to drink.
Lin Yue asked for a dozen beers.
"It's a pity that Tan Xiaoguang is on a business trip."
"Did you call him?"
Zhao Nannan nodded: "After beating him, he said he wouldn't be able to come back for a week."
"When is the train?"
"I will be there tomorrow morning, Zheng Fang the day after tomorrow in the evening."
Lin Yue remembered that Zhao Nannan was from a nearby province, and it was only an hour away by high-speed rail. Zheng Fang was far away, and the T train took more than 20 hours.
"Do you have a lot of luggage? Do you want me to see you off?"
Zhao Nannan shook her head: "No need."
Zheng Fang pushed her: "Why are you being polite to him? There is a free driver, so don't use it. Are you stupid?"
Lin Yue couldn't help but smile.
"Wait a while and you can send me your departure time on WeChat, and I will pick you up then."
He picked up the beer placed on the corner of the table, opened it with a screwdriver, and poured a glass of wine for each of them: "Just a reminder, you must make it clear to your boyfriend. I don't want to be misunderstood."
Zheng Fang said: "You are the one, remember to report to your girlfriend in advance, I don't want to be regarded as a third party." After finishing, she glared at him: "I hate people like you the most, show affection and break up quickly! "
"Miss Zheng, do you know that you look like one of those resentful girls who say the grapes are sour when they can't eat them?"
Zheng Fang pouted: "My suitors can line up from the south gate of Jiangda to the north gate and add two more Yannan alleys."
"Yes, yes, all the men in the world are waiting for you to choose, okay?"
Lin Yue raised his cup: "Zheng Meiren, just for your confidence, let's do it."
"Just do it, no one is afraid of who you are."
She picked up the cup very simply, raised her face and tilted her head, and drank all the wine in the cup.
"Hero, you have a good drinking capacity."
Lin Yue quickly filled it for her and himself, and then picked up the cup: "Here, let's take another one. I hope you find your favorite boyfriend as soon as possible."
Zheng Fang said nothing, picked up the cup and drank again.
Lin Yue still wanted to drink with her, but Zhao Nannan couldn't stand it: "Okay, stop teasing her, let's drink this glass of wine."
Doesn't she understand what's going on with her best friend? She never admits defeat, but her drinking capacity can only be described as "I dare not compliment you". As for Lin Yue, she saw clearly the last time she had dinner with Tan Xiaoguang. He was so confused that he couldn't even speak a single word. He was completely fine. In the words of a driver, he didn't look like a drunk person at all.
Zheng Fang wants to drink with him. Isn't that asking for death?
"Okay, let's drink."
Lin Yue clinked the cup with her and drank another cup.
"Eating vegetables, why are you just drinking?" Zheng Fang greeted the two of them, picked up a piece of fish and put it in his mouth: "Well, it's okay, I didn't cut corners."
Lin Yue picked up a peanut, took another sip of tea, and turned to look out the window.
Zhao Nannan said that they were on holiday, and he realized that the Chinese New Year was coming soon. He came to Jianghai City after a quarrel with his family during the Spring Festival last year.
Jiangdiao~
In addition to a body with nowhere to rest, there is also a heart that is not understood, just like Shi Xiaomeng in "Beijing Love Story", a metropolis that cannot be integrated into, and a small hometown that cannot be returned to...
Of course, he has no trouble in this regard at all. After all, he has bought a house, and his mentality is not comparable to that of those young people. The key to the problem is how he will tell his parents about his situation when he returns home this year, and what Su Han will do... Don't you want to take her home with you?
"What are you thinking about? Are you so lost in thought?"
He was awakened by Zhao Nannan's question, shook his head, shook away some chaotic thoughts in his mind, and picked up the cup: "It's nothing, come... let's have a drink together."
Zheng Fang shouted: "Cheers to farewell."
Lin Yue didn't pay attention at first and drank a few more drinks with them. As soon as the conversation started, he felt something was wrong.
"Tell me, you two...what happened today?"
Taking advantage of the drink, Zhao Nannan sighed heavily: "I left Jianghai this time, and I don't know if I can come back again. My mother asked someone to find some connections, and said that if she didn't get admitted to graduate school, she would go back to a small town and work as a career editor. It's close to home, there's plenty of life, and I can live a stable life, but I don't want to be like them, I want to stay... stay here."
His eyes were still red as he spoke.
Zheng Fang quickly brought her some food, distracting her attention and saying that she would definitely pass the exam.
Lin Yue thought to himself that this was what happened, no wonder the two girls would treat him to a meal before the holiday.
Postgraduate examination results are generally announced from mid-February to early March. If you fail the initial examination, there will naturally be no re-examination. Generally speaking, girls from civil servant families or middle-class families in small cities rarely have parental support. When they go out to work, they all find a stable job close to home, preferably an iron rice bowl, an errand with royal food, and get married, have children, and have mixed seniority in a step-by-step manner.
This is the case for Zhao Nannan. Based on her character, even if she is unwilling, she will never resist her parents' decision.
"What about you? Are you the same?"
He asked Zheng Fang.
The girl didn't speak. She paused for a moment and then picked up the wine glass: "Why are you asking so many questions? You are here to drink, not to watch our jokes."
Lin Yue said: "It's a pity that you are not my girlfriend. If you were, I, a mining man, can still help you stay."
"you!"
Zheng Fang glared angrily.
Lin Yue smiled and said: "Don't worry, you two will pass the exam."
This is not comfort, it is fact.
The notebook in his hand could check what happened in the future. He had used it to check whether Tan Xiaoguang had been admitted to graduate school. At the end of the exam that day, he checked the scores of Zheng Fang and Zhao Nannan on a whim and found that they had both crossed the river. Great admission score.
"I hope what you said is right." Zhao Nannan's mood was still a little low.
There was nothing Lin Yue could do. He couldn't tell them that he could predict the future.
The two of them drank for a few more rounds and asked whether they had finished the beer. Seeing that they were already 70% drunk, Lin Yue stopped Zheng Fang's idea of calling the waiter to serve the wine. After paying the bill, he pulled the two of them out of the restaurant. come out.
"You said you, you, agreed that we would treat you, and you paid for it first. What do you mean? Do you look down on us?"
Lin Yue ignored Zheng Fang's complaints and stopped in front of the window of a wedding photo studio next to Bantianyao Grilled Fish.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Nannan followed and looked over.
Lin Yue said: "I seem to see someone familiar."
