Chapter 15: Going to the Landlord's House for Dinner

Zhuo Jiangyue originally planned to invite Gao Yan to watch a movie.

But there are classes in the afternoon, and if I watch a movie, I will definitely not be able to make it in time, so I can only decline politely.

However, Gao Yan took the initiative to invite Zhuo Jiangyue to watch a movie together this Saturday.

After a slight hesitation, Zhuo Jiangyue agreed.

When they broke up, Gao Yan took the initiative to ask for her WeChat account and gave her his phone number.

2 p.m.

Gao Yan appeared in the lecture theater on time and walked straight to Cheng Hao to sit down.

The teacher of this class also arrived soon after.

Two hours later.

At the end of the course, Gao Yan was going to the snack street to check the renovation progress of the milk tea shop, while Cheng Hao was going to the hot pot restaurant to check the renovation progress.

The milk tea shop is not large, so the construction speed is very fast.

By now, the suspended ceiling has been finished and the walls are being plastered.

However, Gao Yan found a figure in the store that shouldn't be there.

"Chen Youwei, come out!"

Gao Yan called the other party out and asked, "Why are you here?"

Chen Youwei lowered her head as usual and whispered: "Boss, I can't get my salary in vain. I knew the store was being renovated, so I came over to help. I hope it can open as soon as possible."

"You are such a fool!"

Gao Yan couldn't laugh or cry and said: "The decoration of the store is fully paid for by the decoration company. If you come to work, you will use my salary to work for the decoration company in vain. Okay, go back and rest quickly, and come back after the opening."

"I know, boss!" Chen Youwei nodded.

"Wait!"

Suddenly, Gao Yan stopped Chen Youwei again, and then he quickly bought a bottle of drink from the store opposite and handed it to Chen Youwei: "Although you didn't help me, you were also out of good intentions, and this bottle of drink will reward you. "

"Boss, no need!"

Chen Youwei waved her hand and refused.

"Just take it if I tell you to, otherwise I will get angry!"

After a moment of silence, Chen Youwei reached out to catch the drink and whispered thank you.

"Okay, let's go back!"

Gao Yan waved his hand.

Watching Chen Youwei leave, Gao Yan couldn't help but smile. It's really rare to find a girl with such a sincere eye like Chen Youwei in this day and age.

Afterwards, Gao Yan went into the store and handed a few cigarettes to several decoration masters before leaving.

He originally planned to go to the vegetable market to buy some meat and vegetables and cook them himself.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the university town, he received a call from his landlord, Lin Xiumin, and invited him to her house for dinner.

Gao Yan wanted to refuse, but he didn't expect Lin Xiumin's firm attitude, so he had to agree.

But this was the first time he went to the landlord's house.

You can’t go empty-handed.

There happened to be a fruit shop outside the community, so he went to the fruit shop to buy some fruits and planned to take them home.

Back to the rental house.

Gao Yan first washed his face, then returned to the room and turned on the air conditioner and lay on the bed playing with his mobile phone.

When he opened WeChat, he found that Zhuo Jiangyue had sent him a text WeChat message an hour ago, asking him if he wanted to return to his hometown after summer vacation this year.

To be honest, Gao Yan has no sense of belonging to his current family.

The differential treatment by his adoptive father and mother made him feel like he was always an outsider.

Therefore, except for the holidays during the first half of his freshman year, when he went back once, during the holidays during the second half and the first half of his sophomore year, he used working as an excuse and did not go back!

He didn't want to go back during this vacation. After all, he would have to face Gao Lang's troubles and his adoptive mother's scoldings.

He is not a masochist, why should he go back to find sin?

Born to be talented: Sorry, I was in class before and my phone was set to silent, so I didn’t see your message. I shouldn’t go back this summer vacation. What about you, do you want to go back?

Yangdong University of Science and Technology.

Girls dormitory.

Zhuo Jiangyue was reviewing his homework, but his eyes would glance at the mobile phone placed aside from time to time.

Suddenly, the phone vibrated.

A new WeChat message has arrived.

She quickly picked up her phone and saw that the guy finally replied to her WeChat message. A faint smile appeared on her face. She unlocked and opened WeChat. After reading the content, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

But after thinking about Gao Yan's family situation, she also understood why Gao Yan was unwilling to go back.

In high school, although the two did not break the layer of paper, they also told each other a lot of things.

After pondering slightly, Zhuo Jiangyue typed a reply: Our tutor has a research project and needs to select a few people to serve as assistants. If they are selected, I will not return. If not, I will probably return.

In fact, just yesterday, the instructor asked for her opinion and asked her if she would like to be her assistant.

Because of her excellent performance, she is highly valued and loved by Qin Yiren, the youngest associate professor of Yangdong Science Department.

Generally speaking, in this case, the instructor will choose a graduate student as an assistant, at least a senior student.

Letting her, a sophomore, serve as an assistant is definitely an exceptional promotion for her.

Because being an assistant on a research project will be recorded in the file, it will be a great advantage if she chooses to stay in school in the future.

I am born with talent: I am worthy of being a female academic master, and I can act as an assistant to my tutor in my sophomore year.

Zhuo Jiangyue: No, the matter has not been settled yet.

I am born with talent: I believe you will definitely be chosen, and I will treat you to a feast when the time comes.

Zhuo Jiangyue: I don’t want to eat a big meal, I want to eat hot pot.

Born to be a genius: OK, I know a hot pot restaurant that tastes very good, but it won’t open until this Sunday. Let’s go together then.

Zhuo Jiangyue: Wow, wow!

Chatting with Zhuo Jiangyue, Gao Yan felt very relaxed, so before he knew it, it was already six o'clock in the evening. Lin Xiumin called again, so he ended the chat with Zhuo Jiangyue.

Turn off the air conditioner, leave the bedroom, pick up the fruit and go to 503 next door.

The door was ajar, Gao Yan pushed it open and shouted: "Sister Lin, I am Xiao Gao next door, can I come in?"

Lin Xiumin, wearing home clothes and an apron, walked out of the kitchen and said with a smile: "Don't be so polite, come in, there are new slippers on the shoe rack."

"Okay, Sister Lin!"

After Gao Yan put on slippers, he saw Lin Moer jumping out of the room: "Brother Gao Yan, you are here, and you also brought a gift. What did you bring? Let me see."

"Moer, don't be so rude, hurry up and pour a glass of water for Brother Xiao Gao!" Then he said to Gao Yan: "Xiao Gao, sit down for a while, there is only one soup left, and you can eat soon!"

After a while.

Lin Xiumin asked Gao Yan to sit down.

Lin Xiumin cooked four dishes and one soup tonight.

Gao Yan originally thought that a rich woman like Lin Xiumin would have average cooking skills, but after tasting the dishes she cooked, she found them to be quite good.

"Sister Lin, I didn't expect your cooking skills to be so good!"

"Really? Then eat more!"

Lin Xiumin said with a smile.

"Then I won't be polite!"

Gao Yan responded and began to eat heartily.

In the end, more than half of the four dishes and a soup went into Gao Yan's stomach.

Lin Xiumin didn't mind at all, but was rather pleased.

Especially when she saw Gao Yan eating heartily, her appetite improved a lot.

When Gao Yan put down his bowl and chopsticks, he found that the mother and daughter were looking at him. He did not feel embarrassed, but smiled and said: "Sister Lin, the dishes you cooked are so delicious, I couldn't help it, sorry to embarrass you."

"It's okay, seeing you eating so happily, our appetite has also improved a lot!"

"Yes, Brother Gao Tian, ​​I also ate one third more today than usual!" Lin Moer also nodded in agreement.
