“I’m a girl, alright? Didn’t I need to buy beautiful clothes? Didn’t I have to buy cosmetics?” Sun Jie extended her fingers and counted them one by one to Yang Ming. “Aside from these, I still have lunch every day at school. On average, there wasn’t much money left!”
“You still say that you are poor despite driving to school!” Yang Ming listened to Sun Jie and pointed it out. There was really not much money left as he thought about it, but he couldn’t quit giving her a sarcastic remark.
“It was an Alto [1] …” Sun Jie looked helpless. “At that time, we didn’t have the subway yet. It wasn’t convenient for me to go to school every day so my dad bought me an Alto. Besides, we ate here almost every day. If I spent five yuan a day on parking fees, isn’t that too bad?”
“Fine. That is still reasonable.” Yang Ming was too lazy to argue with her. It was rare for a daughter of a rich family like Sun Jie to spend only a thousand yuan every month. When Yang Ming was in high school, Wang Zhitao’s family was far from Sun Jie’s and he had monthly pocket money that was more than a thousand.
During the conversation, the two people had already walked into the Home of Six Tastes. Sun Jie had sharp eyes as she shouted to a young woman who was ordering a meal, “Yang Xin!”
When the young woman turned around, she noticed Sun Jie. Her face immediately showed a surprised but delighted expression. She ran to Sun Jie and gave Sun Jie a big hug. “Xiao Jie, I missed you so much! When did you return to Donghai?”
“Of course, I have to go home for the Chinese New Year…” Sun Jie smiled.
“That is true!” Yang Xin let go of Sun Jie and said, “So, why didn’t you look for me to hang out…? Oh… I know!”
As Yang Xin spoke, her gaze suddenly turned to Yang Ming as she smiled mischievously. “Xiao Jie, you’re a bad girl. You didn’t tell me when you had a boyfriend! You must be busy hanging out with your boyfriend these days!”
Yang Ming naturally nodded politely to Sun Jie’s best friend. “Hello, my name is Yang Ming.”
“Not bad. He is quite handsome!” Yang Xin assessed Yang Ming, then nodded and said, “My name is Yang Xin, Xiao Jie’s buddy during high school! Ha, our surname is even the same. We have to arrange ourselves. If you’re younger than me, you have to address me as your big sister!”
While Yang Ming spoke, he also assessed Yang Xin. Looking at Yang Xin’s outfit, she was obviously the daughter of a wealthy family, an easy going character that wasn’t narrow-minded, a friend that would be worthy to have.
As for her appearance, Yang Ming didn’t pay much attention. She was inferior to Sun Jie, but she was still a beauty. There were just too many beautiful women around Yang Ming and his standard for beauty was a bit high.
“It’s nice to meet you.” Yang Ming nodded politely. “Then I would call you Sister Xin.”
“At least, you are self-aware. I’m one year older than Xiao Jie!” Yang Xin said proudly, “I don’t have a younger brother at home. It’s great to go out and collect one.”
Sun Jie smiled and patted Yang Xin and said, “You still haven’t changed. When you went to school, you always wanted a younger brother!”
“Ya, I didn’t succeed at that time. I didn’t think about it, but I took your husband as my younger brother!” said Yang Xin.
“I heard that you came with someone else? Is it Wu Yunsheng?” Sun Jie asked.
“Who else can the person be beside him?” Yang Xin said, “He is ordering over there. Let’s eat together!”
“Great, I was worried that there were no seats here!” Sun Jie nodded. Apparently, she was familiar with the person named Wu Yunsheng.
“Xiao Jie, tell me. Did both of you do that?” Yang Xin glanced at Yang Ming and then whispered to Sun Jie.
However, what Yang Xin didn’t know was that no matter how soft she spoke, it wouldn’t work with Yang Ming. Yang Ming could read lips! But, when Yang Ming heard her question as such, he found it inappropriate to interject. He had to pretend not to hear anything.
“What?” Sun Jie glanced at Yang Ming with the corner of her eye. She noticed Yang Ming didn’t look at her, so she whispered, “Little lecherous girl, you’re not pure anymore! You must have done that with Wu Yunsheng, right?”
“En…” Yang Xin nodded a little shyly. “Have you done that? Don’t lie!”
“No.” Sun Jie herself was a little bit confused of her relationship with Yang Ming. What if they weren’t together later on? Sun Jie certainly wouldn’t admit anything.
“I don’t believe you. Look at your chest. They got a lot bigger! They must be… massaged by my brother… Hehe…” Yang Xin smiled mischievously.
“…” Although the relationship between the two were like close friends, after Sun Jie listened to Yang Xin’s words, she still couldn’t help but get annoyed. “I noticed our Princess Taiping [2] during that year had become a lot bigger… Oh, I was wondering why you have such a deep understanding. It seems it comes from experience!”
“What’s wrong with that? You’re dishonest! Do you want to deny it now?” Yang Xin said.
“Okay, okay… Think as you like…” Sun Jie said helplessly.
Yang Ming at the back had sweat all over his head at this moment. Aren’t they too forthright? They are too mature and violent…
“Wu Yunsheng!” Yang Xin waved his hand to a young man not far away, and then said, “You! Come over!”
After the young man heard it, he quickly put down the menu in his hand and then put in his order to the waiter next to him. He rushed over and then smiled and said, “Xiao Xin, what happened?”
“Didn’t you see Xiao Jie is here, too? What kind of eyesight is that?” Yang Xin glared and said to Wu Yunsheng.
Yang Ming couldn’t help but smile and shake his head. Apparently, Wu Yunsheng loved Yang Xin very much. His eyes only had Yang Xin alone. He wasn’t very concerned about things other than her and ignored them directly.
“Sun Jie… I’m sorry… I didn’t bring my contact lens today…” Wu Yunsheng said awkwardly and found an inappropriate excuse.
However, Sun Jie knew of Wu Yunsheng’s temper and she didn’t mind him. “You only have Xiao Xin in your eyes. Even if you wore contact lenses, you might not be able to notice me, right?”
“Hehe…” Wu Yunsheng smiled a little awkwardly.
“Let me introduce to you my new little brother – Yang Ming!” Yang Xin introduced Yang Ming to Wu Yunsheng. Then she said to Yang Ming, “This is my boyfriend, Wu Yunsheng.”
“Hello… little brother-in-law…” Wu Yunsheng quickly reached out and said.
“Pak!” Yang Xin slapped away Wu Yunsheng’s hand. “Who is your little brother-in-law? Yang Ming, you don’t have to bother with him. Let’s talk about our stuff…”
“Ugh… hehe…” Wu Yunsheng wasn’t angry, just a little embarrassed.
Yang Ming also noticed that this Wu Yunsheng was an honest man. In this age, such an honest man was rare. Especially looking at Wu Yunsheng’s outfit, he should be from a well-off family, too.
“Hello, brother-in-law.” Yang Ming smiled and grabbed Wu Yunsheng’s hand and shook hands.
“Okay, good!” Wu Yunsheng had delightfulness painted all over his face at that moment. It seemed that Yang Ming’s address of “brother-in-law” made him very happy.
“Fine, Yunsheng. It will be your treat today. You can’t just ask my brother to pay the bill, right?” Yang Xin said.
“Of course! Of course!” Wu Yunsheng said happily like a good and honest man.
With the addition of Yang Ming and Sun Jie, Wu Yunsheng naturally added a few more dishes, and then said to Yang Ming, “What do you want to eat? You don’t need to be polite with your brother-in-law!”
“I haven’t been here before. This is my first time here. You should order as you see fit!” said Yang Ming.
“Xiao Jie, I have ordered what we liked to eat back in high school. What else do you want?” asked Yang Xin.
“We’ve ordered seven dishes for four people. It’s enough. If it is too much, we won’t be able to finish it as well.” Sun Jie said, “These are enough.”
“That works, too. We can order again if it is not enough.” Wu Yunsheng said.
Four people sat in their seats and waited for the waiter to serve.
“This store seems to be more popular than before!” Sun Jie sighed as she noticed the store was filled with customers.
“Indeed, I drop by here sometimes, unlike you who aren’t in Donghai. I have witnessed the brilliant growth of this store!” Yang Xin nodded. “There are no seats now. If you want to eat, you have to reserve with a phone number and head outside to wait. When someone leaves the table, the waiter would call the waiting guests in order!”
Yang Ming looked at the scene here and secretly snarled. It’s still lunch. If it was dinner, the queue will be hard to imagine!
However, there were a lot of people here and yet the serving speed wasn’t slow. Perhaps this was the reason why this place could last so long! They hadn’t sat down for ten minutes before three dishes were served.
“Come on, my little brother. Try this fried bamboo shoot tip. It was my favorite when Xiao Jie and I went to school!” Yang Xin began to fulfill her sister’s responsibility.
“Okay…” Yang Ming quickly took a bite. The taste was really good, crisp and refreshing. He couldn’t help but praise, “It’s fantastic!”
Wu Yunsheng was just sitting there and smiled directly, but his gaze didn’t leave Yang Xin for a moment. On the other hand, Sun Jie and Yang Xin chatted excitedly. The two people hadn’t seen each other for a long time. They had many words to say.
