Chapter 153: three awkward encounters
Zheng Yue, who was still holding the cake in her hand, saw Yang Xin and Leng Yan appearing in the shop where she was working, she immediately pursed her lips and walked over to put the cake on the table, then turned around and left as if fleeing.
Yang Xin watched Zheng Yue walking so fast inexplicably, and realized something was wrong.
Zheng Yue didn't seem to like talking to them when they were in the cafeteria at noon, and it's not surprising to see them like this now.
"What does she mean?" Yang Xin, who had been treated like this for the second time, pouted, staring at the direction Zheng Yue left, obviously not very happy. "Are we a scourge?"
This question was thrown to Leng Yan, but Leng Yan didn't quite understand what was going on with Zheng Yue.
After doing this, Yang Xin and Leng Yan naturally lost their appetite to continue having afternoon tea.
The two went back to school directly, and complained to Murong Qiao, who was staying in the dormitory, about what happened with Zheng Yue today.
But chatting and chatting, it becomes where is there any delicious food near the school, and the more I talk about it, the more I have a tendency to drool.
Murong Qiao was also aroused by what they said, so the three of them decided to have a dormitory dinner together.
This was their first dinner together since the beginning of school, and the three of them inevitably thought of Zheng Yue after they decided.
Although what happened in the afternoon made people a little unhappy, Yang Xin still had a good impression of Zheng Yue, so he directly called someone and asked if Zheng Yue was free to have dinner together tonight.
"She said she was going to study in the library at night." Yang Xin hung up the phone and explained to the other two.
Murong Qiao had no opinion, and Leng Yan also said he didn't care.
After all, Zheng Yue worked so hard to make money and also take care of her studies, so they didn't force each other.
So the three of them dressed up and went out to take a taxi to a high-end western restaurant, planning to use it as the place for the first dinner.
But as soon as he entered, Murong Qiao saw Zheng Yue dressed as a waiter standing at the door, Yang Xin and Leng Yan who came in later also saw this scene, they looked at each other and were speechless.
"Hello, may I ask—" Zheng Yue only heard a voice coming from the door, and instinctively stepped forward with a smile and walked over. As a result, she met Murong Qiao's eyes, and her voice stopped abruptly.
It happened to be so lucky and unlucky, this was the third awkward meeting between them today.
Seeing that the person who should be studying in the library is now working here in the clothes of a waiter, Yang Xin doesn't know what to say.
Zheng Yue was stared at by the three people, and a feeling of embarrassment suddenly surged in her heart. She didn't expect that she was so unlucky today that she was seen working part-time by her roommates several times in a row.
She just stood there, even with a professional smile on her face, unable to retreat.
"Hello, order." Murong Qiao spoke out first in the silence, as if he knew how Zheng Yue was feeling at the moment, and deliberately didn't say hello, just like a normal guest.
Murong Qiao ordered the dishes for the three of them in order, and then made some requests that needed attention.
Zheng Yue also seemed to be rescued, and quickly lowered her head to write down the name Murong Qiao said.
"Probably that's all." While talking, the three of them found a place, and Murong Qiao almost ordered it. "There's no need to look for the rest."
Tipping the waiters is a custom in high-end western restaurants, Murong Qiao took out a few red tickets and put them in Zheng Yue's palm.
Except for the settlement of the meal fee, the extra money given to the waiters belongs only to them, and it can be regarded as a way to earn extra money. Seeing the extra 500 yuan in her hand, Zheng Yue was stunned for a moment and then became much happier.
After ordering, Zheng Yue also left.
Seeing Zheng Yue walking far away, Yang Xin finally couldn't hold back his thoughts and made a sound.
"Why is she lying?" Hearing Zheng Yue's words to study, Yang Xin subconsciously believed the other party, but she didn't expect to see Zheng Yue here. "It's like we're the bad guys."
Regarding Zheng Yue's concealment, Yang Xin really couldn't understand why the other party would do this.
Leng Yan also frowned, a little concerned about Zheng Yue's lying.
"I really thought she went to the library to study..." Leng Yan said angrily. She and Yang Xin spoke in such a low voice that only the three of them could hear.
The more Yang Xin talked, the more annoying she became. She treated everyone sincerely, so she felt a little uncomfortable when she found out that Zheng Yue had lied to her.
Although there is nothing to lose, the feeling of being cheated is really uncomfortable.
"We also know her situation, and we won't look down on her." Leng Yan was just discussing the matter, feeling uncomfortable with Zheng Yue's behavior like a snake.
Murong Qiao listened to Yang Xin and Leng Yan's discussion about Zheng Yue, but just sat there without speaking, waiting for the food to be served.
While chatting, the dishes ordered were brought up one by one, but the person who served the dishes was another waiter, not Zheng Yue.
Everyone quickly turned their attention to the delicious food in front of them. The purpose of their coming here was to eat.
"Suddenly felt that the money was well spent." Yang Xin touched her round belly and sighed.
Murong Qiao also nodded in agreement, the western food taste of this restaurant is really good, especially the steak is fried just right, the meat seems to be so tender that it will melt in your mouth.
"Go to the toilet." Leng Yan said to the two of them and got up to find the toilet.
"Wait for me!" Yang Xin hurriedly followed when he heard that someone was going.
It is a tradition of friendship between girls to go to the toilet together, and they are no exception.
Murong Qiao didn't have this need, so he sat in his seat and slowly tasted the dessert.
In the bathroom, Yang Xin and Leng Yan were chatting about Zheng Yue.
"I always feel that Zheng Yue is not normal today." Yang Xin did not forget to speak while washing his hands.
Leng Yan stood beside him and nodded, his thoughts were almost the same as Yang Xin's.
"Maybe it's because we took her to dinner parties to take advantage of it." Leng Yan also sighed, "She works so hard to make money, so it's understandable that she doesn't want to spend money on dinner parties."
They didn't think there was anything, but Zheng Yue, the person concerned, cared a lot.
As soon as Zheng Yue was mentioned, Yang Xin remembered what happened at noon and afternoon today, and felt very uncomfortable.
Especially at night when I thought Zheng Yue was studying and saw people working part-time, Yang Xin's uncomfortable feeling reached its peak when she realized that she was being deceived.
"Understanding is understanding, Zheng Yue's behavior is too much." Yang Xin also said, feeling disappointed in Zheng Yue's behavior. "Jojo gave her so many tips just now."
When it comes to Murong Qiao's tip, Leng Yan also feels it's a pity.
They could all see that Murong Qiao's tip was not small, and this amount of money was not a small amount for Zheng Yue.
The two of them chatted one after another, but they didn't know that all the content of the conversation fell into Zheng Yue's ears.
Zheng Yue clenched her lips and stood in the bathroom separated by a wall from the two of them, clearly hearing Yang Xin and Leng Yan's discussion with her.
The happy mood just because of the tip has long since disappeared, replaced by a kind of humiliation.
She held the five hundred yuan she just got in her hand, and her hands trembled with anger. After listening to Yang Xin and Leng Yan's words, she immediately felt that this was a charity from Murong Qiao to herself.
