Kindly feed the dog!
Looking at the payment code on Lu Chaoqing's phone, this sentence automatically popped up in Meng Wan's mind.
The neighbor who lived across the door came to eat at her restaurant. Meng Wan felt that it was normal for her to treat her for the first meal. She asked Lu Chaoqing to help her promote the ramen restaurant. It was just polite words. Who really expected him to help? Unexpectedly, this guy actually said seriously that he was busy and would rather pay the bill!
Professor Gao and Xiaoye who came back from the bathroom were watching. Meng Wan quickly picked up the face thrown on the ground by Lu Chaoqing, picked up the printer, and collected the money expressionlessly.
She remembered! From now on, she and Lu Chaoqing will be complete strangers, and if she gets along with him as a neighbor, her surname will not be Meng!
After the payment was over, Lu Chaoqing stepped aside.
Professor Gao had all kinds of pettiness in his heart. Seeing Meng Wan's obviously angry face, he mustered up his courage for the first time and asked, "Do you know Professor Lu?"
Meng Wan sullenly said, "I don't know, I just recognized the wrong person."
The voice was not low, and Lu Chaoqing looked at her unexpectedly.
Meng Wan just took care of Professor Gao's account.
Lu Chaoqing could see that the female neighbor was angry, but he didn't understand why she was angry. Anyway, he had done nothing wrong. As soon as Professor Gao settled the bill, Lu Chaoqing went out first.
After leaving the ramen restaurant, Professor Gao caught up with him in two or three steps: "Xiao Lu, do you know Miss Meng?"
Lu Chaoqing nodded.
Professor Gao was excited: "How did you know each other?"
It was a red light at this time, Lu Chaoqing stopped on the side of the road, and explained casually: "We are neighbors."
Neighbor!
Professor Gao immediately imagined the happy scene of Lu Chaoqing and Meng Wan meeting every day. Since they are neighbors, won't he have more chances to meet Meng Wan if he goes to find Lu Chaoqing in the future? He didn't dare to strike up a conversation with Meng Wan, mainly because the atmosphere of the ramen restaurant was not right. If we could meet in another place, maybe we would get acquainted with each other gradually!
Wait, there seems to be something wrong.
After crossing the road, Professor Gao remembered it, and asked strangely, "You have a problem with Ms. Meng? She got angry when she invited you to dinner and you refused." According to Professor Gao's observation, Meng Wan is very good-natured and loves to laugh. The girl, suddenly angry, is not only scary, but also makes people think she is cuter.
Lu Chaoqing looked at the teaching buildings in Z University, and replied as he walked, "There is no holiday, but she traded a treat for my help, and I don't have time."
So, she was angry because of his refusal to help? What a cautious woman.
Lu Chaoqing shook his head.
Professor Gao sees a glimmer of light, next time he brings a few more colleagues to the ramen restaurant, will Ms. Meng be happier
Meng Wan was not happy at all. After being wiped out by Lu Chao, she soon found that her aunt had come. What was even more annoying was that Lawyer Wu was still staying in the shop, as if waiting for her to get off work. Stance.
Meng Wan's back was sore and she didn't want to waste time in the store, so she changed her clothes after eight o'clock and prepared to leave.
"It's still early, how about going to a movie?" Lawyer Wu asked with a smile.
Meng Wan shook her head: "I'm tired, I just want to go home and sleep."
Attorney Wu immediately said, "I'll drive you off."
Meng Wan still refused: "I live nearby, I'll be there in fifteen minutes, no need."
Lawyer Wu persevered: "I just finished eating, then I will walk with you by the way."
The man was persistent, Meng Wan was too lazy to talk nonsense and acquiesced.
On a midsummer night, Meng Wan was dressed coolly, with an off-the-shoulder knee-length skirt and her hair tied into a simple ponytail, revealing her fair and beautiful face. Where the two of them passed by, passers-by would look at Meng Wan more. As a temporary male companion, Attorney Wu was in a good mood to feel the appreciation of Meng Wan from others.
Lawyer Wu is thirty-one this year, the golden age of a man. Lawyer Wu has been in free love and had many blind dates, but in the past two years, Lawyer Wu suddenly wanted to find a woman to settle down. He wasn't very satisfied with Meng Wan's job at the ramen restaurant, but this girl was young and beautiful, so Attorney Wu was reluctant to let her go in a hurry.
Even if it doesn't work out in the end, he won't suffer if he falls in love and takes a nap when the love is strong, at most it will waste some time and energy.
"It's so close, no wonder you opened a shop at Z University."
Coming downstairs to Meng Wan's apartment, Lawyer Wu said with a smile.
Meng Wan's stomach was uncomfortable, and she smiled perfunctorily: "Thank you for taking me back, I'll go up first, you should go back earlier."
Lawyer Wu nodded and stood there watching her into the building.
Meng Wan didn't even look back.
In fact, Lawyer Wu is good-looking and has a humorous conversation, but Meng Wan just doesn't feel it, and it's not just a matter of Lawyer Wu's style.
Meng Wan went upstairs clutching her stomach, and just fell on the bed when she received a WeChat message from Lawyer Wu: Tonight's ramen is delicious, I take back my opinion on your opening a ramen restaurant last time, if you don't mind, I will Is a regular customer of the ramen restaurant.
Meng Wan: Thank you. Of course, barristers are welcome to come to eat noodles. It’s fine to watch a movie on a date. I’m not interested for now.
Lawyer Wu: It’s okay, I will wait.
Meng Wan didn't reply again.
Meng Wan went to take a shower, and came out to receive a call from her mother asking her about the progress of the blind date. Meng Wan first complained, and then coquettishly said that her stomach hurts. Meng's mother only had this precious daughter. As soon as she heard that her daughter was not feeling well, she immediately promised to come and make breakfast for her daughter tomorrow morning.
The next morning, before Meng Wan woke up, Meng's mother brought up the vegetables she had bought.
"Wanwan, I see that the Lu family has changed the locks, what's going on?"
Meng Wan didn't lock the bedroom door, and Meng's mother put the dishes in the kitchen, went straight into her daughter's room, and asked curiously.
Meng Wan hid under the blanket and hummed: "Lu Chaoqing is back."
Meng's mother was very surprised, and she counted towards the window: "The family moved to the United States. I haven't seen that child Chaoqing for several years. I don't know what he looks like now."
Meng Wan thought to herself, people look like dogs.
She continued to sleep late, and Meng's mother went to the kitchen to make breakfast. Tremella and red date porridge was cooking in the pot. Meng's mother opened the door, helping her daughter clean while paying attention to the movement outside. At around seven o'clock, when she heard the door opening, Meng's mother looked into the entrance, and saw a tall man in long trousers and a white shirt walking out from the opposite side.
Mother Meng opened her mouth wide.
Lu Chaoqing also saw her.
Before Lu Chaoqing went abroad, he didn't know Meng Wan well, but from elementary school to high school, Meng's mother often praised him. In elementary school, she especially liked to touch his head and would stuff him with snacks. Lu Chaoqing was not used to this kind of treatment, but he knew that Meng's mother had good intentions.
After closing the door, Lu Chaoqing and Meng's mother nodded: "Auntie."
Mother Meng walked out in surprise as if she had just regained consciousness: "It's really Chaoqing? If you didn't call me auntie, I wouldn't dare to recognize it. When did you come back? Did your parents come back? Hey, look at you This kid looks so good, I have to look up at you..."
The familiar nagging rushed over, instantly awakening all Lu Chaoqing's memories of this aunt.
He silently listened to all kinds of compliments from Meng's mother, and occasionally answered a few questions.
"Chaoqing twenty-seven, he looks so handsome, have you talked about a girlfriend?"
"No, I'm busy with work and don't have time."
"Well, what kind of job are you doing now? After studying in the United States, the job must be very good."
"Just entered Z University."
"Being a teacher at Z University? It's amazing to be able to teach college students at such a young age. By the way, my family opened a ramen restaurant opposite Z University every night. If you have time, go to her place. Her ramen is pretty good." delicious."
…
Fifteen minutes later, Lu Chaoqing, who hadn't had breakfast yet, was warmly invited to her home by Meng's mother: "The porridge is already cooked, please sit down for a while, and Auntie will bring it out right away. The food outside is not as clean as home cooking."
After welcoming Lu Chaoqing with a smile on her face, Mother Meng walked to the door of her daughter's master bedroom and knocked on the door: "Get up at night, the porridge will be cold if you don't get up again, I called Chaoqing to come and eat together."
In the bedroom, Meng Wan popped her head out of the bed, feeling very speechless.
Mother Meng reminded me again.
Meng Wan had no choice but to get up with a body that had lost all vitality, washed her face and brushed her teeth, then picked out a skirt at random to change into, and then tied her hair back casually, and it came out.
Lu Chaoqing was already sitting at the dining table, and Meng's mother was setting out the dishes. When she turned her head and saw her daughter's sloppy look, Meng's mother gave her a hard look, and then smiled at Lu Chaoqing: "I'm used to being sloppy at night, goodbye to Chaoqing." joke."
Lu Chaoqing looked at Meng Wan.
She was wearing a white dress, and the morning sun came in from the balcony. She stood with her backlit, her fair skin seemed to be transparent, her laziness was laziness, but she looked like a little fairy who just woke up in a fairy tale movie, except that little fairies usually She smiled innocently, but Meng Wan pouted sullenly, as if someone had offended her.
Lu Chaoqing inexplicably remembered that when he was a child, he often saw Meng's father leading his daughter out of the house. At that time, Meng Wan was still a primary school student, rubbing her eyes while pounced on her father, lazy to go to school.
It seems that her habit of sleeping late has not changed.
There were four chairs at the dining table, and Meng Wan sat diagonally across from Lu Chaoqing, without looking at him, she picked up a spoon and ate her own.
"Wanwan, why are you so rude?" Meng's mother sat next to her daughter and asked with a frown.
Meng Wan thought her mother was too polite.
"Morning Professor Lu." Meng Wan glanced at Lu Chaoqing perfunctorily.
Lu Chaoqing replied "Morning".
Meng’s mother looked at the two children, and suddenly let out a long sigh: “Chaoqing’s grades have been good since she was a child, and now she’s a professor of physics at Z University. Open a shop and do business.”
Lu Chaoqing didn't know what to say.
Meng Wan pursed her lips, lowered her head and murmured, "The kind of parents have the kind of children, who told you and my father not to be genetically compatible?"
Mother Meng glared at her daughter: "Your father also graduated from a prestigious university!"
Meng Wan looked at her mother with a smile: "That's why my grandpa and grandma say I look like you."
Meng's mother pretended to beat her daughter, Meng Wan slipped back to the master bedroom like a rabbit with her rice bowl in her arms, and slammed the door shut behind her.
Lu Chaoqing kept quiet all the time.
Mother Meng was extremely embarrassed: "This girl, the older she gets, the less sensible she is."
Lu Chaoqing lowered his head to drink the porridge.
Meng's mother pushed the food towards him: "You are here alone, and you will come to your aunt's house to eat more in the future. Eating takeaway every day is not good for your health."
Looking at the tremella porridge in the bowl, Lu Chaoqing had to admit that Mama Meng's cooking skills were indeed very attractive.
Unlike his mother who studies chemistry every day, she can't even control the heat of instant noodles.
