"Xiaolu, what were you doing while you were looking at your phone? Is there anyone else here?" Ning Xue sat next to Chen Xiaolu and asked in confusion.
Before Chen Xiaolu could answer, Jiang Tao said angrily: "Isn't it that Xu Qian? Xiaolu called him out with good intentions, but the guy actually said he wanted a box of his own before he came. What do you think this is?"
"A box to himself? What do you mean? He doesn't want to eat with us, but wants to eat in a box by himself?" Everyone was shocked. In their memory, no one has ever made such a request. This is already unreasonable.
"Isn't this nonsense? It's just looking for trouble!" Wang Yutong is a petite girl. She is not big but has a loud voice. She usually has a good relationship with Chen Xiaolu.
Jiang Tao lost no time to add insult to injury, "Yes! Xu Qian is just a brainless person. If you ask me, Xiaolu doesn't need to worry about him at all. It's useless even if he studies well for such a person. In the future, he will only get bumped into the society." Headache and bleeding.”
Ma Weichao jumped out to calm the atmosphere, "I have my own ideas. I'm just a bit withdrawn, and my speech is not artistic enough, but we shouldn't reject it. After all, we are still classmates. Let me tell you, Xu Qian has helped our school." Well, people should not be judged by their appearance!"
As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately became energetic. Zhang Qiang, the gossip master, immediately grabbed the words and said, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"
Ma Weichao raised his hand, indicating that he would give it to Zhang Qiang.
Zhang Qiang actually doesn't know much. He just listened to what people in other classes said on WeChat. He was still chatting with the other class, wanting to know more before shocking everyone, but Ma Weichao started talking first. , if he doesn’t say anything, it won’t be his turn.
"Yesterday, Ning Xue mentioned that she had issued a document asking the school to recommend students to participate in game competitions. This is true. Not only does each class have to recommend one student, but they must also be 18 years old or above in the five years before the class's best results. Yes. There were a total of thirteen classes in our senior year, which were the thirteen top students. Later, the principal went to the bureau to find someone and promised to recommend Xu Qian, who was number one in the school, to participate. In exchange, other classes did not need to worry about their grades. Anyone can recommend it.”
Zhang Qiang talked a lot excitedly, feeling a little thirsty, so he picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea.
Ma Weichao added at this time: "The sophomores are basically 18 years old, and they are still required to be among the top five in the competition."
Wang Yutong heard this news for the first time, "The school wants senior high school students to play games? Or is it the student who ranks first in the grade in the mock test? Isn't this a joke? Xu Qian will also be willing?"
Jiang Tao looked disdainful, "How can that guy use common sense to judge? His thinking is different. Besides, his family seems to be ordinary, and the school requires him to go, so he wouldn't dare not not go."
Wang Yutong still couldn't believe it, "It's impossible to joke about your own future. I don't know what Xu Qian is like as a person, but his grades are so good, how can he not be able to calculate such a thing?"
Ma Weichao said softly and somewhat mysteriously: "I heard that the school waived his tuition fees and also arranged a house for him to live in."
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone present seemed to have different reactions. Wang Yutong was surprised, Zhang Qiang was excited, Jiang Tao was disdainful, and the most intriguing ones were Ning Xue and Chen Xiaolu. Ning Xue was thoughtful, but Chen Xiaolu raised the corners of her mouth, but there was a brief flash of light in the eyes of these two women.
"The guests in the Piaomiao Peak box have arrived." A waitress in ancient costume came in to report.
"You let him order, he can order whatever he wants."
Chen Xiaolu picked up a glass of juice and said, "Thank you all for coming to try the dishes at our new store."
Chen Xiaolu spoke appropriately, and it was clear that she was just here to eat and drink, but these words made everyone feel that they were valued and respected.
Halfway through the meal, Chen Xiaolu got up and left the box. There was a bathroom in the box, and there was usually no need to go out. However, Chen Xiaolu was a small boss, so everyone thought it was normal for her to go out.
Piaomiao Peak is the smallest private room in Xiaojianghu, but it is also a round table for eight people. It seemed a bit empty when Xu Qian was sitting alone. However, the plates on the table did not match the number of people eating at all.
There was a knock on the door. Before Xu Qian could answer, Chen Xiaolu had already opened the door and entered the box.
Chen Xiaolu originally came in with a smile, but when she saw the entire table filled with half-empty dishes, the girl became uneasy.
"You... did you eat all this alone?" Chen Xiaolu's words were full of disbelief.
Xu Qian was a little embarrassed, but he had already thought that Chen Xiaolu couldn't hide his appetite. After all, he was invited to dinner. It was impossible not to know. Just seeing the bill was completely different from seeing the scene.
"It seems that there is no one else here." Xu Qian held an uncovered crab in his hands, his expression was half-smiling, and his mouth was greasy.
Chen Xiaolu quickly came to her senses and sat down next to Xu Qian with a smile.
"How is it? The food is okay."
"It's not bad, but the portion is a bit small." Xu Qian told the truth. He compared the portion here with that of a small restaurant frequented by college students. The portion was not a little less.
If she hadn't seen one person eating enough for eight people, she would have thought that Xu Qian was looking for trouble, but the scene in front of her did show that the portions of her dishes were not good.
"When did you enter the game?"
Now that everything was like this, Xu Qian stopped paying attention to Li Xiaolu and continued to eat his crabs.
"Tonight." Xu Qian asked for leave in the afternoon. He estimated that the investigation and evidence collection at the old rental house had been completed. He planned to go back and get all his luggage in the afternoon. It wouldn't be a big problem if he didn't sleep at night. It's okay to sleep in class in the morning, but it doesn't seem possible since there isn't even bedding at home. There is still a big difference between lying on the bed and lying on the table. Xu Qian is not a masochist.
"Is it convenient for you to go to the match point? I have nothing to do tonight, and I want to go to the match point. How about I take you there?" Chen Xiaolu's sudden kindness made Xu Qian a little wary.
"Are you sending me off?" Xu Qian turned to look at Chen Xiaolu, a little confused.
"Yes, it was my birthday last month. The gift my dad gave me for my 18th birthday was a car, but I didn't have much chance to drive it. Besides, the game God Wars is quite popular right now, so I just wanted to join in the fun."
"No need, I'll just take a taxi."
The whole box was quiet except for the sound of Xu Qian chewing and the air conditioner.
Chen Xiaolu felt ten thousand grass and mud horses running through her heart. She even felt a little dizzy. A sense of frustration made her very powerless.
Chen Xiaolu suddenly rolled her eyes and remembered the rumor that Xu Qian agreed to participate in the game competition in order to refund his tuition fees, and she took it into consideration.
"You can go there by taxi, but our school is a bit remote. The nearest match point in Dongsheng Building will cost 70 or 80 yuan..."
"Seventy or eighty yuan?" Before Chen Xiaolu could finish speaking, Xu Qian exclaimed, startling the female classmate in front of him.
"When are you free? Where should we meet?" Xu Qian looked at Chen Xiaolu seriously.
