Edward's stomach was already growling.
Liang Liang looked at her watch out of habit." No wonder. It's already past eight."”
"Isn't that so? I've long starved to death, but seeing that you're talking too seriously, I'm too embarrassed to mention it.”Sophie was already starving, but she had to endure it all for her lover.
"I'm sorry, I didn't pay much attention.”Liang Liang said in embarrassment.
"It's okay. We're already so familiar with each other.”Gao Fengliang tried to smooth things over.
"Alright, it's been a long time since we've gathered together. Let's not go back today and sit together to celebrate the formation of the band.”Leng Liang suggested.
"Yes, you must drink some today." Edward shouted excitedly.
"Right, then let's go." Leng Liang said as she pushed the door open and was about to leave.
"Where are you going?" Gao Fengliang asked in confusion.
"Needless to say, of course it's the old place.”Edward glanced at Gao Fengliang, but he didn't blame him. After all, he rarely went to the casserole house. The so-called study took up too much of his time.
"The usual place?" Gao Fengliang still looked at Edward suspiciously.
"It's the casserole house." Edward was helpless.
"Oh." Gao Fengliang finally remembered.
After solving Gao Fengliang's problem, everyone went to the casserole house together. Edward excitedly pushed the door open and entered the house, but everything in front of him made him feel a little awkward. The casserole house was a small restaurant after all, but there were only two small tables left. No matter which one, it couldn't fit the six of them.
"Little Sen, you're here. I haven't seen you in a long time.”The lady boss asked with a smile.
"Coming, Auntie." Edward replied politely.
"Then hurry up and let your friend in.”The lady boss invited warmly.
Edward was put in a difficult position when he saw the lady boss's enthusiastic invitation and the two small tables in front of him. "There are too many of us today.”
Edward also entered the room after saying that. "What's wrong?" Edward asked when he saw the troubled Edward.”
"There seems to be no more space." Edward was helpless.
Seeing that the cold lady boss seemed a little different, her face full of joy showed a rare excitement." Ziwen is here too. I haven't seen you for a long time. How have you been recently? How are your studies?"”She had always called Liang Ziwen and asked him a bunch of questions.
"It's alright." His reply was cold and emotionless.
"That's good." The lady boss replied in despair.
"There's no place. Let's change to another place.”At this moment, Liang Liang's mood seemed to have become unusually heavy.
Edward, of course, saw all of this. "Auntie, we'll find another place then. I'm sorry.”Edward said awkwardly.
"There's a place, there's a place. There's room no matter how many of you come. Come to my bedroom. There's plenty of room there.”The lady boss looked slightly excited at the moment. Edward could naturally tell that this was not as simple as making money.
"That's not convenient, right?" Edward declined with concern.
"It's fine, it's fine. Quickly bring your friends over. What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you.”The Lady Boss returned to her original smile.
Under the insistence of the lady boss, everyone went to her bedroom. The room was very large, just like an ordinary person's bedroom. There was a sofa, a coffee table, and a round table. The only thing that didn't fit in with all of this was a single bed. This showed that the lady boss was alone, which made Edward even more suspicious of her relationship with Leng Liang.
Everyone sat around the table, and the hungry children waited for their food.
"I've eaten so many dishes outside, but I've never eaten in someone else's bedroom. However, it's quite warm to eat here.”Sophie said sincerely.
"The lady boss here is quite nice and has a good service attitude.”Dai Mengni sighed.
Upon hearing this, his face turned ashen and he became even quieter. "Alright, alright. If it wasn't good, why would it be our second base? Everyone, stop talking and discuss the band.”Edward saw the unusual coolness and hurriedly came to the rescue.
Just as they were talking, the lady boss had already arrived with the dishes. Everyone was shocked and obviously sighed at the efficiency of this restaurant's service. Of course, Edward knew that she didn't care about the table in front of her, but made the dishes for them first.
"Xiao Sen, what's with the band you're talking about?”The lady boss asked as she served the dishes.
"Liang Liang wants to form a band to participate in the competition in the square in a month.”Sophie, who was quick-witted, answered first. She even hugged her cool arm as she spoke, and her ambiguous behavior made it seem like they were a couple.
"Oh, won't that affect your studies? High school classes are very intense." The Lady Boss asked thoughtfully.
"It won't happen. It's only a month.”Edward answered her question.
"Then do you have all your instruments?”The lady boss seemed to have some understanding of the band.
"It's almost done. We're just missing a drum set.”Edward replied.
Hearing Edward's answer, the lady boss seemed to be even more interested. She wanted to continue asking, but…
"Little Sen, are you done yet?”Liang Liang seemed to be very angry.
Edward could only remain silent in the face of this change. The Lady Boss was also quite embarrassed. She was in a dilemma. "Alright, alright, I won't ask anymore. Hurry up and eat. I'll make a few more for you.”The Lady Boss left timidly.
And this action of Leng Liang's shocked everyone. Usually, it was rare to see Leng Liang lose her temper with anyone. She had always been the kind of person who was gentle and refined to everyone. Today, for some reason, she lost her temper over a strange and passionate lady boss. Other than Edward, no one knew why.
"What are you doing? Why are you angry with the lady boss?”Sophie complained when she saw Leng Liang's abnormal behavior.
"It's fine, it's fine. I just don't want the whole world to know that I'm forming a band. Why make such a small matter so public?”Leng Liang found a simple reason to answer Sophie.
"If that's the case, then you shouldn't be angry at him. Look at how good his attitude is.”Sophie, who did not know the situation, lectured coldly.
"Got it. Be careful next time." He replied coolly, which meant that he had admitted his mistake.
"Alright, alright, everyone, let's not dwell on this matter. For our band, for our championship in a month, let's raise one together.”Gao Fengliang was the first to suggest. Of course, everyone stood up one after another. Even Dai Mengni, who rarely drank, raised her glass.
Just like that, the sumptuous banquet began. The Lady Boss didn't seem to care about the sudden anger of Liang Liang at all. Instead, she became even more enthusiastic and prepared a table full of good dishes for everyone. Needless to say, there were chicken, duck, fish, and some rare dishes. Moreover, they all tasted good. Everyone was surprised. On the one hand, they were surprised that the Lady Boss had cooked so much for everyone. On the other hand, they were amazed by the superb craftsmanship of the Lady Boss. Every dish looked, smelled, and tasted good.
Just like that, the meal lasted for about three hours. The sky outside was already pitch-black, and nothing could be seen. Meanwhile, the heated preparations inside had also ended.
"Auntie, how much is it?" Edward was ready to pay the bill.
"What money? Aren't you guys going to form a band? This meal is on me.”The Lady Boss still had a smile on her face as she spoke in a spring breeze.
"How can that be?"
"You ate so much."
"She's still in your bedroom and has disturbed you so much that you can't rest.”
"You have to give us the money. Otherwise, we'll be embarrassed.”
Xiao Shi, Gao Fengliang, Dai Mengni, and Su Fei all insisted on paying the bill for the lady boss.
"Alright, alright, why are you so long-winded? Xiao Sen and Zi Wen are my regulars. I can afford to treat you to a meal.”The lady boss was a little angry during the dispute.
"Alright then, let's go." After saying that coldly, she stood up and left.
Leaving behind a few ignorant children, everyone looked at each other, not knowing whether to go or stay.
"Right? You should learn from Ziwen. She's very efficient." The lady boss said with a smile.
When everyone saw that the matter had already escalated to this extent, they could only leave.
"Then I'll have to trouble you. Auntie, we'll leave first.”Xiao Sen said with shame.
"Let's go. Come back often when you have time." The Lady Boss replied with a smile.
The sky was completely dark, but they could still see each other clearly under the faint street lights. A group of slightly drunk young people seemed to be walking on the street as if they had not had enough. They sang and danced, squandering to their heart's content on this land where they were born and raised. Looking at the gray sky, they used the wine to speak freely.
"I want to get into the NBA." This ignorant shout was, of course, from Edward.
"I hope to have a stable job in the future. After I turn 30, I hope to have my own company and buy many houses in Beijing or Shanghai for my father to live in.”The one who spoke was Gao Fengliang. This had always been his dream.
" I want to be the CEO of Microsoft...so that I can drive an Audi back to pick up the person I like. Then, we can travel around the world together..." Xiao Shi was fantasizing. Of course, when faced with this almost hopeless dream, everyone laughed at him.
"You're already the CEO of Microsoft...so why are you still driving an Audi?”Edward found a flaw in Slytherin's words.
"Do you support domestic products?" Xiao Shi's words brought everyone a burst of laughter. A year could really change a person subtly. Even the dull Xiao Shi understood humor.
And Su Fei's even more presumptuous dream was to give birth to many children for Liang Liang. This made everyone even more speechless when facing Su Fei, who had always taken an unusual path.
Everyone was speaking freely. Only Dai Mengni was as quiet as an angel, silently sharing everyone's happiness.
"What is your dream?" Edward asked.
"Yes." Dai Mengni looked up and thought for a while." Study hard and get into a good university. Then, find someone you like and build a beautiful family together."”
As soon as he finished speaking, he secretly swore in his heart that he would definitely give the person he liked a beautiful future.
He was smoking quietly, smiling at everyone's questions. No one knew what he was thinking.
It could be said that the current dream was everyone's ambition. It could also be said that it was irrelevant. Children who had never tasted the joys and sorrows were fantasizing about their beautiful future and looking forward to their own success. However, the college entrance examination seemed to have scattered all their dreams. This was a cruel society. We couldn't succeed with our passion. Reaching the peak was easier said than done. It was often our kinship that was trampled under our feet. Of course, brotherhood also had what we called the so-called dry love. You can't have both fish and bear's paw. If you get some, you have to give up some. But it depends on what you choose.
