Chapter 239 - 238: One After Another
Ding Yating still wanted to say something, but seeing her mother’s stern face, she silently swallowed her words. Like her daughter, she had been afraid of her mother since childhood, and whenever she saw her mother putting on a serious expression, she dared not say anything.
On the other side, Yiyi naturally didn’t know the conversation between the three of them. At this moment, she was happily eating her meal and curiously looking at Guo Ming, she asked, "Master, what good thing has happened exactly? You seem really happy today."
Guo Ming put down his chopsticks and said, "Actually, it’s nothing much, just that I regained something that belongs to me."
After some time of tidying things up, the Yin sect was finally unified, and there were no longer any people left by the third brother.
However, thinking of his third brother, whom he had treated like a blood brother, Guo Ming’s expression still looked somewhat unpleasant. Back then, he was betrayed, and he almost lost his life, but fortunately, he met Yiyi.
Now that everything has settled, he has let go of many things.
Although Guo Ming didn’t speak very clearly, Yiyi knew there must be a lot of things involved, but she didn’t ask in detail, only sincerely saying, "Then congratulations to Master, it’s only right to take back what originally belongs to you."
Guo Ming couldn’t help but laugh at these words.
"You’re right, before I thought if I gave it away, then so be it, but now that I think about it, even if I don’t want what’s mine, I shouldn’t let others have it for nothing."
Mo Ping, who was also on the side, nodded and said, "Yeah, of course, you should hold on to what’s yours."
After chatting and laughing, they finished their meal and went back.
When Ding Yuejun and her daughter got home, she took her hand and started talking about everyday matters, "Er Ya didn’t come home again this weekend. If you have time next time, go and check on the store where she’s working. A young girl shouldn’t get too tired."
Yiyi smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, I’ll go see her after school tomorrow. I heard she works at a restaurant near their school gate, and since I need to have dinner anyway, I’ll eat at the restaurant where she’s working tomorrow evening, and check out her work environment too."
"Hmm, that works too."
Ding Yuejun nodded with a smile and then talked about other things with her daughter.
The mother and daughter chatted for a long time before going to their rooms to rest.
On the next day, Yiyi began her fulfilling school life again, but as soon as she got to the classroom, Tao Cuizhu couldn’t help but pull her over.
"Yiyi, I heard Xueqing and Yudan are both going to join a movie crew. Is this really true? How come even Yudan is going to film?"
Regarding the dorm mates going filming, Tao Cuizhu always felt it was inappropriate, but she couldn’t make decisions for others and could only worry secretly.
Seeing Tao Cuizhu like this, Yiyi couldn’t help but say, "Okay, dorm leader, since they want to go, just let them go, as long as it doesn’t affect their studies."
However, Tao Cuizhu frowned and said, "How could it not affect their studies? Doesn’t filming take time? Moreover, they are just starting, and it’s bound to be small roles. Can the movie crew possibly adjust the schedule for them? It’s not realistic, so they’re bound to have to skip classes."
Hearing this, Yiyi didn’t say much more, as the facts were indeed like this.
But both An Xueqing and Feng Yudan had already signed agreements with the movie group, so even if they had to attend classes, they’d likely have to miss them for filming.
But those were their own decisions, and she didn’t add her opinion.
Seeing Yiyi refrain from saying more, Tao Cuizhu couldn’t help but sigh, saying, "Well, it’s already happened, there’s no point in saying more now."
Meanwhile, Cao Panpan, who was on the side, overheard their conversation and couldn’t help but say, "Okay, dorm leader, what are you worried about? In the future, when Xueqing and Yudan become big stars, we might even envy them."
Tao Cuizhu frowned and said, "What’s there to envy? We study traditional Chinese medicine, and our duty is to practice medicine compassionately."
Cao Panpan stuck out her tongue at these words and didn’t say more as she realized that it was hard to change Tao Cuizhu’s thoughts sometimes, though she was a nice person.
Soon, the teacher arrived, and the students all took out their textbooks and listened attentively.
After the day’s classes ended, Yiyi headed to Jing University.
Slightly forgetful of which restaurant, she slowly found her way over, and thankfully at the third place, she finally saw Fei Erya’s figure.
"Er Ya."
Fei Erya was a bit surprised to see Yiyi, "Yiyi, why are you here?"
"I’m just here for dinner, so I came to check on you."
Hearing this, Fei Erya couldn’t help but say, "You came quite a way just to eat, you must have walked a lot from your school."
"No problem, just taking it as exercise."
Fei Erya laughed at Yiyi’s words and then asked, "So what would you like to eat? Our restaurant may be small, but it tastes good."
Yiyi looked at the menu and casually ordered two dishes, "Alright, Er Ya, you go ahead and get busy, don’t let your boss think you’re slacking off."
Fei Erya nodded and went back to work promptly.
It was meal time, and there were quite a few diners, leaving her little time to chat with Yiyi.
Seeing Fei Erya so busy, Yiyi quietly began eating once her food arrived, not speaking further with her.
"Er Ya, I’m heading back now."
After finishing her meal, Yiyi saw Fei Erya really didn’t have much time to chat, so she waved and said goodbye to her.
Fei Erya quickly waved back to Yiyi and then went to the kitchen to serve more food.
But unexpectedly, just as Yiyi left, another acquaintance showed up.
Fan Qianshu looked at Fei Erya and couldn’t help but smile, "Hello, junior schoolmate. We meet again."
"Hello."
Fei Erya greeted him and then asked, "Are you here for dinner too?"
"Yes, just came over after class. Didn’t know you were working here."
Fei Erya smiled and said, "I found this part-time job after school started. So, what would you like to eat?"
Fan Qianshu glanced at the menu and ordered braised pork, steamed fish, and stir-fried cabbage.
Fei Erya took note and then went to inform the kitchen.
Fan Qianshu watched Fei Erya’s back for a moment before calmly returning his gaze.
Since there were quite a few customers, Fan Qianshu’s food took a while to arrive.
"Sorry for the wait, it’s busier than usual."
Fan Qianshu shook his head and said, "It’s okay, I’m not very hungry anyway."
"That’s good."
Fei Erya felt relieved upon hearing this, then went to another table to take orders.
Fan Qianshu slowly ate his meal. Since he ate leisurely, it took him a while. After the rush hour, as the diners dwindled, Fei Erya found time to breathe.
"Junior schoolmate, can I have a bowl of egg drop soup?"
"Sure."
Fei Erya acknowledged and went to the kitchen. When she returned with the soup, she carefully placed it on Fan Qianshu’s table.
Fan Qianshu didn’t rush to drink it but looked at Fei Erya and said, "When I came over earlier, I saw your friend leaving at a distance."
