"No problem at all!"
"Great, that’s awesome."
"Thank you, thank you so much!"
Tianmiao winked at Wei Ling; she could certainly see through this little guy’s intentions. At heart, he’s a good kid.
Wei Ling felt a rush of happiness as he received Tianmiao’s gratitude.
"Tianmiao, what do you like to eat? I’ll go buy it right away," Wei Ling asked.
"Xi Linghe, what do you like? I’ll buy it right now too. Let’s all go eat on the second floor for lunch; it’s on me."
"I’ll pay, I’ll pay."
"I’ll pay today, you pay tomorrow, how about that? Let’s make a rotation."
For a moment, their seats were lively and bustling.
Wu Yihan watched this scene with a sullen expression. She had always been the center of attention; when did these people start to revolve around the two of them?
In the end, it was agreed that Wei Ling would treat for lunch today.
Li Yingjun rubbed his sleepy eyes and yawned, "So, are we finally going to eat on the second floor for lunch today? I want steak."
"Sure, sure." Wei Ling replied happily.
Li Yingjun looked at Wei Ling’s excited demeanor and found it almost unbearable to watch.
...
In the afternoon after school, Wei Ling was about to chat with Tianmiao but was pulled aside by Gu Nanyu.
"What’s up?" Wei Ling grumbled.
"Let’s go drinking at your bar tonight," Gu Nanyu said.
Wei Ling was puzzled and asked him, "Has the sun risen in the west today? Why would you suddenly invite us to go drinking?"
Li Yingjun snorted and said, "You’ll understand why he’s inviting us for drinks when we get there."
Gu Nanyu glanced at Li Yingjun, "So clever, aren’t you."
"Of course." Li Yingjun nodded.
Wei Ling looked at the two of them, clueless about what they were up to, and couldn’t be bothered to think about it. He chuckled, "Do you think if I invite Tianmiao for drinks now, she’ll go?"
Li Yingjun sneered, "You must be dreaming."
Wei Ling rolled his eyes, "People always need to have dreams. If you can’t even dream, what’s the point of living?"
After saying that, Wei Ling eagerly went to ask Tianmiao.
Tianmiao smiled and said, "I’m busy these days, let’s talk next time."
Wei Ling was overjoyed, "Does that mean I’ve successfully made a reservation?"
Tianmiao smiled without answering, and left with Xi Linghe.
Wei Ling watched Tianmiao and Xi Linghe leave the classroom, feeling very happy, and then turned to find Li Yingjun and Gu Nanyu.
He happily said to Li Yingjun, "Did you hear that? My goddess agreed."
Li Yingjun gave Wei Ling a disdainful look and said, "She’s just being dismissive. Can’t you tell?"
Wei Ling got a bit angry, "Why are you always discouraging me? Why don’t you encourage me?"
Li Yingjun patted Wei Ling’s shoulder and said, "I’m saying this because we’re buddies."
Wei Ling puzzled, "What do you mean by that?"
Li Yingjun sighed again, "But it might already be too late."
Wei Ling was even more puzzled, "What do you really mean?"
Li Yingjun sighed again, "Oh, let’s forget about it. Alright, I’m treating you to drinks tonight; drink as much as you want."
When Wei Ling heard this, he was energized and forgot all about the earlier discontent and confusion. Happily, he said, "Alright, as you said, tonight we won’t leave until we’re drunk."
Gu Nanyu didn’t say anything, just furrowed his brow lightly, lost in thought.
At the bar, the person serving the drinks was still Dai Shiqi.
Gu Nanyu glanced at Dai Shiqi and didn’t speak to her. Dai Shiqi quietly finished serving the drinks and left.
