Zhou Jing's eyes moved, and he brushed the record. This was the chat message at more than eight o'clock last night.
[Li Xiaoyin: Brothers, come out for a meal! @Everyone]
[Xu Lingyun: As a qualified social fringe, I refuse to participate in all activities that spend money]
[Li Xiaoyin: Don't worry, this time I will treat you as a guest, and then I will announce a big event! 】
[Xu Lingyun: If you want to say that, then I can have a good meal at the venue... Listen up]
[Zhang Xiao: What's the big deal? Someone is willing to marry you? 】
[Xu Lingyun: Who is the victim? Is he currently emotionally stable? 】
[Li Xiaoyin: Humph, it will be nonsense! Let me tell you, this time I really changed my life against the sky! Wa hahaha! ! ! 】
[Xu Lingyun: Got it, I caught Kaizi]
[Li Xiaoyin: Do you want to loosen the skin? is not it? ! 】
The corners of Zhou Jing's mouth twitched unconsciously, and the whole person relaxed.
Best buddies... This group chat includes him, and there are four people in it, all of whom are hard-core friends who grew up together.
We played together when we were young, and we were also together when we were in school, and we had a pretty good relationship.
It was not until graduation, when everyone was busy with their own business, that they met less often, but they still often chatted and farted in the group, and made dinner appointments.
When he was in school, Zhou Jing was well-liked and had many friends, but only these three could be called best friends.
He continued to scroll down the message records.
[Li Xiaoyin: Seriously, how about going out for dinner tonight? If I don't tell you the good news today, I can't sleep! (rolling)]
[Zhang Xiao: It’s only after eight o’clock that you have a dinner appointment? ! Eldest sister, don't think about it, I've already finished my meal! 】
[Xu Lingyun: Anyway, I’m fine. I haven’t eaten all day, and I’m still hungry. As long as someone treats a guest, I’ll crawl over it too! 】
[Zhang Xiao: After all, what is the good news, you can say it now]
[Li Xiaoyin: No, this is a major event in my life. It is too unceremonious to say in the group, so I have to say it face to face]
[Zhang Xiao: Did you find a job like me? 】
[Xu Lingyun: What? look for a job? Why do you want to be conceited and let everyone do noble rice bugs together? What about the wool of interstellar colonialism? @Everyone]
[Zhang Xiao: ? ? ? who told you
[Li Xiaoyin: @张晓, you can pull it down, do you call it looking for a job, you are going to work in your own company! Your family pays you wages, and the money is digested internally, so what do you earn, it is not the same as pocket money! 】
【Zhang Xiao: You don’t have to think so clearly… 】
[Li Xiaoyin: @zhoujing, jingjing, why don't you speak, when you have time to give a letter of approval! 】
[Li Xiaoyin: Are you asleep? Hey baby, get up! @zhoujing]
The next few consecutive ones were all news from Aite.
Zhou Jing thought for a while, then picked up the phone and went back.
[Zhou Jing: I fell asleep before and didn't look at my phone, I have time during the day]
The message was sent, he saw that it was a bit late, and he planned to put down his mobile phone and go to eat something.
However, he did not expect the group to reply immediately.
[Li Xiaoyin: Haha, Jingjing is finally bubbling up! 】
[Xu Lingyun: Good guy, what are you doing now? You went to bed at eight o'clock last night? ! 】
[Zhang Xiao: Jing, are you delusional? 】
Zhou Jing's mouth twitched.
What the hell, all of you are awake at this point, don't you all need to sleep? !
[Li Xiaoyin: Oh, everyone is awake, why don't we just make an appointment for a late-night snack, just to tell my good news, so that I can sleep tonight and start walking! 】
[Zhang Xiao: Well, it feels okay, I just happened to be hungry after playing games]
[Xu Lingyun: I'm ready to eat another day when I'm hungry, but I'm eating now, tsk, no challenge]
[Zhou Jing: This is too sudden, I didn't even brush my teeth...]
[Li Xiaoyin: @周景, let’s go, anyway, you just woke up, you should have breakfast! 】
Zhou Jing scratched his head.
Decided to go out for a late night snack in the middle of the night? It really looks like something a bunch of buddies can do.
In this era, the nightlife is already rich, and many shops are open around the clock... The main reason is that the mechanical workers do not need to rest, and can be squeezed unlimitedly, not to mention 996, all of them are 007.
Zhou Jing thought about it, and it was not impossible. Anyway, he had just returned, and there were still more than ten hours to cool down, so there was nothing urgent.
People are iron rice or steel. If you don't eat a meal, you will be so hungry. It's the same wherever you go to cook. It saves money when someone treats guests. After all, I don't have enough money at the moment.
In addition, Zhou Jing is also a little curious, what is the good news that Li Xiaoyin said.
Although this woman is always like this, shouting every day that she has found an opportunity to change her life against the sky, and she has since reached the pinnacle of her life, but with her financial situation, it is rare to be excited to treat guests.
"Then go get a rub."
Thinking of this, Zhou Jing didn't refuse. After setting the place and time for the supper in the group, he put on his sweater and went out to make an appointment.
…
…
Even in the middle of the night, the sky is colorfully rendered by flashing neon, like a city that never sleeps.
Zhou Jing got on the public car and came to the dinner place.
As soon as he got out of the car, he noticed a man squatting on the curb, wearing a long-sleeved coat with two hands in his sleeves, like an old farmer.
This man also noticed Zhou Jing, his eyes lit up, he hurriedly raised his hands in his sleeves above his head, waved again and again, and shouted:
"Brother, I am here!"
Zhou Jing took a look and saw that this man was a handsome man with sword eyebrows and star eyes, but his chin was full of sparse stubble that he was too lazy to shave, and his whole body showed a decadent and lazy temperament.
It was his own hair, Xu Lingyun.
Zhou Jing walked over: "What about the other two?"
"Those two goods didn't arrive, I was the first to come." Xu Lingyun still squatted on the ground and answered with his head raised.
Seeing this, Zhou Jing also squatted down and said strangely:
"When are you usually not late, why are you the earliest today?"
Xu Lingyun hummed: "I've been hungry all day, so I'm just waiting for a meal. Of course, I have to come earlier."
"It's just a meal, you shouldn't..."
"No, but my savings has its own ideas." Xu Lingyun shrugged.
Zhou Jing's mouth twitched.
He almost forgot that Xu Lingyun lived a very stable life - very stable poor.
The parents were originally from a rice bug family, but due to the physical defects of one party, they were unable to make up the three quotas for the maternity welfare fund, and finally could not bear to divorce. The mother formed a new family with others, while the father focused on the immigration welfare allowance, joined the first few batches of interstellar immigrants, abandoned him, and was left to live alone since then.
Xu Lingyun didn't choose to go to a nursing home, so he just grew up by himself without anyone caring.
He has also made efforts to change the status quo, but it has never been a situation where he can immediately reverse the reality with determination, and many times he doesn't even know how to start. A life of poverty and suffering is sometimes like seaweed, trying to break free but falling deeper and deeper into a vicious circle.
Afterwards, Xu Lingyun had to live by it. He said more than once that his life plan was to live on relief funds. Anyway, in this era, he could hardly starve to death.
Zhou Jing shook his head, shaking off these thoughts.
He patted Xu Lingyun on the shoulder and joked, "It's fine, just rely on your appearance, take care of yourself a little bit, and casually hang out with a rich woman, good days will come."
"Pull it down." Xu Lingyun rolled his eyes and pouted, "I have no interest in doing manual work."
After a pause, Xu Lingyun suddenly pushed Zhou Jing with his elbow and laughed wickedly:
"Then how have you been lately? I know that there are many big sisters who like your tender and gentle little meat, so please tell me honestly, have you been in love recently? Have you been corrupted by the beauty of the world? "
"How can I have such thoughts." Zhou Jing shook his head and laughed.
"That's right, I almost forgot. When I was in school, those female classmates confessed, half to you and half to me. I promised at least two or three times, but you didn't promise once..."
Xu Lingyun said, hesitated for a while, and asked quietly:
"You don't like girls, do you?"
"I think you're an eagle burping - the chickens have eaten too much, and it's all bullshit."
Zhou Jing was not angry.
I'm just concentrating on studying!
Xu Lingyun shook his head and sighed in a pretentious manner: "There's something wrong with your designation, it's so hard to cleanse yourself with looks like the two of us."
Zhou Jing rolled his eyes: "Just pretend, when I don't know? You will blush when you hold a girl's little hand, why are you pretending to be a lover with me?"
"What blush is not... I have a lot of blood vessels in my face, and I accidentally congested!"
Xu Lingyun was embarrassed.
Zhou Jing didn't even bother to point him, stood up, kicked Xu Lingyun's ass with his foot, and said:
"Stop chatting with you, don't squat here, go to the restaurant and wait, I'm a little cold."
After speaking, he was about to take a step, but found that Xu Lingyun was still squatting on the spot, looking up at himself.
"Why are you still squatting, go." Zhou Jing wondered.
"Pull brother, I don't have the strength to stand up." Xu Lingyun reached out for a hug.
Nonsense, I've been hungry all day, and it's strange if I have the strength...
Zhou Jing was helpless and was about to reach out and grab Xu Lingyun when he suddenly made a sudden movement.
"Speaking of which, you didn't go to the restaurant before, and you've been squatting here. Isn't it just waiting for someone to come and help you up?"
"It's just you being smart, so don't hurry up!"
Zhou Jing's face twitched, he took Xu Lingyun's hand and pulled him up from the ground.
Xu Lingyun had a saved expression on his face, his legs were numb after squatting for too long, and he helped Zhou Jing to move slowly.
Not long after, the two finally arrived at the agreed restaurant, found a booth in the corner, ordered drinks and waited.
About five minutes later, a man and a woman walked into the restaurant, and it was the other two who were young.
The man's name is Zhang Xiao, a chubby little fat man, wearing a woolen trench coat, a beige scarf around his neck, and a well-made mechanical watch on his hand.
The other woman was Li Xiaoyin, who was dressed simply, with wide white and green striped short sleeves, blue casual trousers, black and white flat canvas shoes, and no other accessories.
The skin is fair, the goose neck is slender, and the facial features of the plain face are not amazing, but there is a clean and agile look, and the ponytail is combed and swayed as he walks.
Li Xiaoyin looked around the restaurant, saw Zhou Jing and Xu Lingyun, her eyes lit up, and she said hello directly:
"Yo brothers!"
The sound was really loud, and other diners in the restaurant couldn't help but turn their heads and cast strange glances.
Li Xiaoyin was not embarrassed at all, she smiled brightly, raised her hand calmly and made an apologetic gesture to the other diners, then ignored other people's eyes, trotted all the way to the seats of Zhou Jing and the two, and sat down.
Zhang Xiao was a little embarrassed, pretended not to notice the gazes of other diners, held his expression so that he would not look away, and sat down with Li Xiaoyin.
Baimeng Book
"You two came together?" Zhou Jing was a little curious.
"Haha, doesn't this guy have a car? My house is far away. I asked him to drive me here."
Li Xiaoyin laughed and patted Zhang Xiao's back carelessly, making a muffled thud.
Zhang Xiao grinned, moved his aching back, and said angrily, "Let's order food first."
"Order! Order anything! I'll treat you to me today!"
Li Xiaoyin waved her hand with a bold tone.
Xu Lingyun smiled and said, "No wonder you are so beautiful today, and when you came in, everyone's eyes were hooked."
"Is there any necessary connection?" Zhang Xiao couldn't help but question.
"People who treat guests are always the best looking!" Xu Lingyun gave a thumbs up.
Zhang Xiao suddenly became angry: "I have treated many guests a lot, and I don't see you complimenting me."
"First of all, you have to have the basic conditions. At least you look like a person. Otherwise, praise is like a mockery. Do you have this condition? Obviously you don't."
"Hey, I'm not convinced, you..."
Zhang Xiao rolled up his sleeves, and he had to tear it apart.
Zhou Jing rolled his eyes, ignoring the bickering between the two, and looked at Li Xiaoyin curiously.
"Have you found a job? Are you so happy today?"
Li Xiaoyin waved her hand and said, "That's not true. I haven't been looking for a job for a few months after graduation."
"What are you doing? What is the good news in your group?" Zhou Jing was surprised.
"Hey, don't be scared."
Li Xiaoyin smiled proudly, put her thumb on her chest, and said loudly:
"Sister, I am now a power user!"
The air suddenly fell silent.
