This is the right to go out to eat that Ji Xingling applied to his mother with great difficulty. The official reason is "too tired from studying and want to go out to get some air". In view of the fact that her son is really good recently, Hu Meimei agreed to let him go, but she has to decide where to eat.
In the end, I chose a French restaurant. The owner is Hu Meimei's best friend. My own people... I know everything about foxes, and I can ensure that the ingredients will not be out of order again, and the environment is relatively quiet.
According to the location he mentioned, Lin Jing searched on the APP, and said doubtfully, "Did I read wrongly, the per capita is 4800, and the meal time is 5 hours?"
"No, we are not in the category of four thousand and eight." Ji Xingling explained, "My mother's good friend opened the shop, and she has already reserved a small box for us, there will be no complicated procedures, and we will just have a normal meal , and there is no need to pay the bill.”
"...Can't it be replaced with a dry pot bullfrog?"
"cannot."
Ji Xingling continued: "At first, my mother thought that I was going out with Yu Yizhou and chose not this store, but later she heard that it was you, so she changed it temporarily, can you give her a little face and use it as a tuition fee? "
There is no problem with supplementary tuition fees, but... Mr. Xiao Lin said honestly: "I think your 443 is far from worth 4800 per capita."
The young master protested: "How can I say that, don't I even have ten yuan for one cent?"
"That's nothing, your 443 can only be worth a Haidilao meal at most."
"Okay, I'll try my best to charge 500 at the end of the term, and this meal will be regarded as an advance interest." Ji Xingling pushed the seat belt for him, "Go, get out of the car."
Not far ahead, Yu Yizhou just got out of the car and was walking sleepily towards the school gate.
"The meal is settled." Ji Xingling was probably afraid that Lin Jing would refuse again, so before he finished speaking, he ran a few steps to catch up with Yu Yizhou, and they hooked up and entered the school together.
Li Moyuan stood in front of the convenience store, and after a while, Wei Xue came out with two cups of milk tea. She was wearing red and green elk gloves, very Christmasy, and she smiled cutely.
Lin Jing thought, this festival is really good.
…
On Christmas Eve, there was a little drizzle in the whole city, wet and cold, and it was not the same romance as snow.
Hu Meimei said loudly in the living room: "The temperature seems to be cooling down again at night, you and Xiao Jing remember to dress warmer."
Ji Xingling said "Oh" casually, and Hu Meimei knew that he must have been on his mind when she heard his lazy and beating tone. When she went to the bedroom, she found that it was a short-sleeved T-shirt and a sports jacket again.
"Mom, it's hot in the car and in the restaurant."
"Which time have you honestly stayed in the restaurant for dinner?"
Hu Meimei took out a dark blue woolen coat for him from the closet: "Put this on, and add a turtleneck sweater."
When Ji Xingling heard the word "turtleneck sweater", he felt his neck start to prick, so in the end he just changed his coat and grabbed his hair with jelly water: "Let's go."
The speed is so fast that I am afraid that my mother will hold me back and put on another pair of long johns.
It's too dirty, you Xingge can't do it.
Lin Jing was waiting at the door, wearing a white down jacket, which looked fresh and clean, with large side pockets, revealing a bit of a boxy edge.
Ji Xingling took the initiative to ask, "Is it my Christmas present?"
"You want to tear it down now?"
"No, no, wait a while." Ji Xingling entered the elevator with him, and in order to explain his empty hands, he deliberately added, "Your gift is in the dining room." I didn't forget.
Lin Jing smiled: "Yes."
There was no one else in the elevator, probably because Ji Xingling seldom dressed so formally, so Lin Jing took a second look in the mirror. As a result, the young master lazily raised his hand and pressed the top of his head: "You can appreciate me openly, without being so sneaky."
"Who's watching you?" Lin Jing was very calm, "I'm watching GUCCI."
"Is this dress GUCCI? I didn't even notice it." Ji Xingling casually touched the collar label, "I didn't see it, you still have research on it."
Lin Jing said "Yes" and did not continue.
…
In the city center at Christmas, Mr. Kobayashi was dizzy due to the traffic jam.
Ji Xingling helped him unpack the plum blossoms, while wondering: "Didn't you exaggerate like this in previous years?"
"Two rear-end accidents just happened on Tianfu Road." Old Feng said helplessly, "It will probably take a while."
Ji Xingling opened the phone map, and the nearby roads were red and crimson, which made it impossible to see through.
No way, I had to ask the people around me: "Is it okay to take the subway? It may be crowded."
"Okay." Lin Jing's cheeks puffed up, "It's fine to walk over."
He was really dizzy, relying on the sour plum in his mouth to survive.
It is not practical to walk there, there is still a distance, but the subway station is nearby. After the car arrived, there were indeed a lot of people, and it was impossible to get a seat. Ji Xingling dragged Lin Jing to a corner, propping up the wall with one hand, and gave him a small quiet space: "It's okay, just four stops."
after awhile.
"There are three stops."
After a while.
"There are still two stops."
Mr. Xiaolin couldn't laugh or cry: "Are you a part-time subway announcer?"
Ji Xingling plausibly said: "I'm afraid that you think there are too many people, so I will go back in a rage."
"I'm not going back."
"Why, because you want to eat with me?"
"No, I just checked, and the way back is even more congested."
"... Damn, you actually thought about going back!"
Lin Jing tilted his head and smiled, the young master didn't succeed in teasing him this time, and he lost face, his teeth were a little itchy, and he raised his hand to ruffle his hair, but the subway arrived at the station in an instant.
The aunt next to her didn't pay attention, and bumped into Ji Xingling's body, making him lean forward.
Lin Jing felt a little wetness coming from the side of his face, with the temperature of breathing, the soft kind.
"..."
"Young man, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The aunt quickly apologized, and pulled his arm back, trying to help him up.
Ji Xingling is actually quite confused, but what's even more confusing is that I don't really seem to want to stand up straight. Auntie, can you push me back again
Lin Jing glanced at the time: "It's the stop."
"No, there's one more stop." Ji Xingling said, "And why are you looking at your watch? There's no arrival display on the watch."
Mr. Xiaolin didn't organize his language well for a long time, and he stopped talking when he wanted to hate, so he stopped talking and started to concentrate on opening Xinxiaoxiaole.
Ji Xingling raised his finger, rubbed his lower lip lightly, and pointed nonchalantly: "Hey, the horizontal line is green."
Lin Jing erased a row of purple, and the system instantly said "Unbelievable": "Shut up."
"… oh."
Five minutes later, the subway prompts the arrival of the station.
Blown by the cold air outside, both of them were much more awake. Ji Xingling checked the navigation on his mobile phone, and the walking time was only ten minutes. Lin Jing put his hands in his pockets and walked along the wet street. There are more residential buildings in this area, and it is not as crowded as the commercial area, and there are no luxury shopping mall windows. Quietly enveloped, the shadows of the trees dancing under the street lamps, occasionally a small cafe appears, and the music flowing out is not a cheerful tune, but a hoarse and deep female voice singing.
Lin Jing stood at the door and listened for a while.
Ji Xingling stretched out his hand and covered his cold right ear with his palm: "I'm freezing to death standing here, do you like this song? Let me buy you a CD, what's it called?"
"have no idea."
Ji Xingling opened the song search software, and after recording a section, the lyrics translation that popped up in the app was ridiculous. It was "I'm just a burden" and "I'll leave you overwhelmed". What kind of unscrupulous shop is this? Play this kind of breakup happy song during the holidays, whether "jingle bell" is not good or "Merry Christmas" needs to be charged.
Just don't buy it! The young master repented on the spot, and forcibly pulled Mr. Xiao Lin out of the cafe: "Go, let's eat!"
Lin Jing was staggered by him: "Why are you running?"
"I'm hungry!"
Really hungry. The two of them didn't eat much at noon, and they were stuck in traffic for another half an hour at night, walking by subway and walking, so they were already hungry. Fortunately, the owner of the restaurant is an acquaintance, and there is no such imaginary dining process. The dishes are arranged within ten minutes after sitting down, and the door of the box is closed, and the environment is perfect.
The per capita price of 4,800 is not entirely dependent on the decoration, the taste is still very worthy of the price. Ji Xingling snatched a few pieces of lobster from his plate, and returned a piece of beef short rib. He ate very dishonestly. If Hu Meimei saw it, he would probably be dizzy with anger.
But Teacher Xiao Lin was not angry. After he finished eating the short ribs, he asked the other party for another piece, and finally leaned back on the chair: "I'm full."
"Gift." Ji Xingling wiped his mouth with a napkin, and stretched out his hand consciously.
Lin Jing took out the square box from the pocket of his down jacket.
When Ji Xingling looked at the familiar wrapping paper, he thought it was not very good, so he opened it and it was sure enough.
"Why did you give me such an expensive thing?"
"In order to match the per capita four thousand eight."
Lin Jing has no interest in luxury goods. The reason why he recognized the young master's GUCCI coat in the afternoon was because when he went to GUCCI to buy this pair of gloves two days ago, he saw the same style on the model.
"Take it back."
"It's the first gift I'm giving you, can you save me some face?"
"No, the iPod is the first gift." Ji Xingling was serious, "And I like that one better."
"Then, when you treat guests to dinner in the future, can you discuss the location with me?" Lin Jing smiled, "But these gloves are pretty, so you can accept them. I don't need to save living expenses. I was the first in the last entrance exam. , a reward from my parents."
Ji Xingling rubbed his head, feeling a little complicated.
Anyway... I'm not very happy, I always feel that this gift is different from what I want.
"What about mine?" Lin Jing asked.
Ji Xingling asked the waiter to bring in a small gift bag.
It was a collection of Shelley's poems, thick, bilingual hardcover.
Sure enough, it is more attentive than GUCCI.
Lin Jing was a little surprised and looked up at him.
Ji Xingling felt slightly uncomfortable under his gaze: "Why, I can't buy books?"
"No." Lin Jing thought for a while, "I think...it doesn't quite match your style."
"Then do you like it?"
"I love it."
Ji Xingling felt a little better, and then he started to drift again, talking too much: "Tsk, I knew you would like it, in fact, at the beginning, I was going to find a relationship and get you an autograph or something. As a result, I searched online and found that the author died in 1822."
Teacher Kobayashi:
The eldest young master didn't think anything was wrong, he was still complacent, super handsome, and super arrogant, so Lin Jing also smiled with him: "Now we're done eating, do you want to go back?"
"It's still early." Ji Xingling picked up his coat, "I'll take you to the top floor."
"What are you doing upstairs?"
"Look at the night view."
The restaurant guide says that on the large balcony on the 19th floor, you can overlook the night view of the entire city.
Christmas is especially beautiful because lights are lit up everywhere, and there are rolling spires, viaducts and ferris wheels.
The quiet river passes through the city, wrapped in warm lights.
There was no one else on the balcony, because most of the diners who came here would not want to brave the cold wind to see the scenery.
But high school students are excluded.
Because they're always a little silly.
"Cold?"
"Just finished eating, not cold."
Or it can be said that the hidden emotions are hidden in the heart, so that you don't feel cold.
Lin Jing kept looking at the Ferris wheel in the distance.
Ji Xingling asked him, "Want to sit down?"
"It's impossible to get a number tonight."
"That's right, let's go next time."
Lin Jing turned her head: "When is the next time?"
Ji Xingling asked without hesitation, "Tomorrow?"
"Forget it." Lin Jing turned his gaze back to the river, "We'll talk about it when you pass the exam in Beijing."
Ji Xingling choked: "Why does the Ferris wheel have to be packaged and sold with Beijing?"
"Do you know what it means to go to Beijing?"
"..."
There was silence all around.
Lin Jing pinched the railing with his fingers, showing a little bit of white joints. He regretted his impulsiveness, and his heart was also in a mess, so he turned and walked towards the stairs: "It's cold, let's go back."
"Don't!" Ji Xingling pulled him back, and instinctively blurted out, "I know."
"..."
"I'm just... I admit, I haven't thought about it carefully." Ji Xingling looked at him, his short hair was slightly messed up by the wind, "I'm just a little, so what, a little nervous."
"The kind with a messy mind."
"But I didn't want to escape!"
"Haven't I started to study hard?"
"I got 443 last time."
"Although it is still not high, it has worked hard."
"why are you laughing."
"Hey, can you stop staring at the floor and see if I can do it."
"Let's go." Lin Jing smiled and punched him, "Go home."
"Then..." Ji Xingling turned his head and looked at him carefully.
"Wait until you get five hundred in the exam."
"I rely on."
"Don't swear."
"Four hundred and five lines, can't you?"
"no!"
The wind was light.
Blowing fingers lightly touch together.
