Chapter 1399: It’s already mature
Wu Hai, who was first in the line, took Zhou Jia’s job again and started to let others draw the lottery with his box. Of course, he placed himself in the 10th place.
Perhaps due to Wu Hai’s hard work, he drew the red ping pong ball this time and could come here to drink at night.
However, Ling Hong who was at the back of the line and ruan Xiaoqing who was trying to draw the lottery didn’t get any.
Ling Hong looked regretful, but ruan Xiaoqing looked both glad and disappointed. As a person who was about to become poor, ruan Xiaoqing knew that she couldn’t do anything.
She wanted to taste the red wine brewed by Yuan Zhou, but at the same time, she was worried about her purse. Therefore, she was quite contradictory.
When the lucky draw was over, Ling Hong happened to be in front of ruan Xiaoqing. He entered the restaurant together with Wu Hai and ruan Xiaoqing happened to be in the second batch.
Normally, Ling Hong would naturally take the initiative to change his seat so that he could eat with ruan Xiaoqing. But today, he directly entered the restaurant quietly.
This made ruan Xiaoqing both relieved and disappointed. Of course, she didn’t show it on her face.
Just like how Ling Hong greeted her enthusiastically as usual in the morning and she responded naturally to him, any action between the two of them was within the scope of ordinary friends. Or, it could be said that they were more ordinary than ordinary friends.
Therefore, after Ling Hong entered the restaurant, ruan Xiaoqing became more at ease.
As soon as Ling Hong entered the restaurant, he went straight to the side of Wu Hai, which was rare.
“Bring me along for a drink tonight.” Ling Hong said directly.
“Give me half of your breakfast.” Wu Hai said without even blinking.
“Get lost. I was the one who brought you to the vegetarian banquet last time.” Ling Hong said.
Wu Hai stroked his small mustaches and thought carefully for quite a while. It seemed that there was such a thing. Then he said,””I don’t want breakfast. You have to bring me next time you draw.”
“No problem,” he said. Ling Hong nodded his head.
“Let’s have a drink tonight. ” Seeing Ling Hong agree, Wu Hai immediately said generously.
“I want to bring someone with me tonight.” Ling Hong nodded his head and then continued.
“Bring who?” Wu Hai looked at Ling Hong alertly. The hand that he stretched out to Pat Ling Hong’s shoulder also came back.
“Ruan Xiaoqing,” Ling Hong said.
“If you take her, then you’ll have to give me half of the breakfast.” Wu Hai said affirmatively. This time, without waiting for Ling Hong to refuse, Wu Hai spoke again,””You know, when you took me there, I always went there alone. I didn’t take Zheng Jiawei or Wu Lin with me.”
“But you eat more than three people.” Ling Hong said.
“I ate this much with my own ability. If you can do it, you can eat this much too. It’s fine.” Wu Hai said.
Ling Hong was defeated by Wu Hai ‘s’ fair ‘explanation and became speechless instantly.
“I’ll give you half, no more. ” Ling Hong turned his head and looked at ruan Xiaoqing’s beautiful side face and said while gritting his teeth.
“This is more like it.” Wu Hai nodded his head, indicating that he agreed with this deal.
“You’ll be so fat. ” Ling Hong couldn’t help ridiculing.
“I won ‘T. I’m exhausted.” Wu Hai shook his head.
“Lying down every day to consume your energy?” Ling Hong sneered.
“No, my mental exercise is different from yours.” Wu Hai stroked his small mustaches and said earnestly.
“...” This time, Ling Hong was so angry that he couldn’t say anything. He directly turned his head and watched Yuan Zhou make breakfast.
He had no choice. If he looked at Wu Hai again, Ling Hong was afraid that he would beat him to death. In that case, he would have one less chance to meet ruan Xiaoqing at night. It was not a good deal.
The breakfast was clear broth noodle soup. Under Wu Hai’s rare fairness, Ling Hong ate half a serving of clear broth noodle soup to fill his stomach. Then, he stood up and went out to wait for ruan Xiaoqing who had just entered the restaurant to finish her meal.
By the way, not only did Wu Hai take away Ling Hong’s noodles, he also took away Ling Hong’s broth, as well as the appetizing candy, the flavorless candy and the clear water of the welcoming set meal. Since they had agreed on half, he would take half of the broth as well.
If it wasn’t for the fact that the plate and chopsticks couldn’t be eaten, Ling Hong suspected that Wu Hai would also take half of the candy. However, Ling Hong refused to recall how Wu Hai had shared the two candies.
“Don’t let this Crow beast fall into my hands. ” After Ling Hong went out, he couldn’t help gritting his teeth.
As there was only half a serving of breakfast, Ling Hong ate the fastest. Therefore, ruan Xiaoqing was sitting at the same spot where Ling Hong had just sat.
However, after ruan Xiaoqing entered the restaurant, Wu Hai didn’t gossip about Ling Hong. Instead, he ate his noodles seriously and appeared to be enjoying it.
Since Ling Hong ate fast and ruan Xiaoqing also entered the restaurant early, she finished her meal quickly as well. After all, the breakfast time was only one hour.
The moment ruan Xiaoqing came out, she was stopped by Ling Hong.
“Little Qing, over here.” Ling Hong stood in the long corridor built by the queuing Committee and greeted them.
Ruan Xiaoqing stopped in her tracks. Her long hair fell to her neck as she turned her head, soft and black.
“I have something to say,” Ling Hong added when he found ruan Xiaoqing didn’t intend to come over.
“Alright,” he said. This time, ruan Xiaoqing nodded her head and then walked toward Ling Hong.
Today, ruan Xiaoqing was wearing a pair of thick gray pants, a beige Cordillera shirt, a pair of white shoes, and a pure black coat. Her long hair was let down, and her face was white. She looked very beautiful, but perhaps because she was thin, ruan Xiaoqing looked a little thin.
“Here’s the thing. Wu Hai will treat us to a drink tonight. Let’s go together and try the new red wine that Yuan Zhou has just released. ” Ling Hong invited him directly.
“You’re inviting me?” Ruan Xiaoqing asked in confusion.
It was known that ruan Xiaoqing had only been eating in the restaurant for more than a month, but she was really not familiar with Wu Hai. At most, they could be considered acquaintances. After all, that scammer was a great artist. They couldn’t get to know each other just by having a meal in the restaurant.
This was how adult social interaction was, polite yet distant.
“Yes, let’s go together.” Ling Hong answered vaguely and didn’t answer him directly. Instead, he invited him again.
However, ruan Xiaoqing was not a girl who was easy to fool. She said directly,””You were the one who invited me, right?”
“Because I’ve taken a look. This red wine was produced by Yuan Zhou’s own winery. I think it’s quite rare.” Ling Hong said sincerely.
“Thank you, but there’s no need. There’s still a chance to try next time.” Ruan Xiaoqing shook her head and refused.
Ruan Xiaoqing refused him so straightforwardly that Ling Hong couldn’t persuade her anymore. Therefore, the two of them became silent all of a sudden.
After quite a while, Ling Hong raised his head and looked at ruan Xiaoqing with a serious look,””Actually, Xiao Qing, even if you don’t want to give me the chance to pursue you, we can still be friends.”
“Yeah, you can.” Ruan Xiaoqing’s heart ached, and she nodded.
“Since we’re friends, then I’ll be Frank. It’s me who wants to invite you to try the red wine produced by boss Yuan’s own Manor.” Ling Hong took a deep breath and said.
“Thank you, maybe next time.” Ruan Xiaoqing tilted her head slightly and refused again.
Ling Hong wanted to say more, but ruan Xiaoqing continued,””Ling Hong, we can only be ordinary friends.”
Ruan Xiaoqing said this very directly and left immediately after.
Looking at ruan Xiaoqing’s back, Ling Hong was stunned for a while and then muttered to himself,””I’m not someone who gives up so easily. Before I decided to pursue you, I’ve already thought it through. ”
After his ex-girlfriend’s marriage and the death of Grandpa Jia, Ling Hong’s character had become much more mature and steady.
