Chapter 343 (1/2)
”Here comes Xiaoye?”
The noodle stall owner was a middle-aged man with white temples. When he saw Xiao Ye, he greeted him with a smile.
”Hello, uncle boss. Two bowls of beef noodles, please.”
Xiao Ye politely bowed to the boss's uncle with a gentle smile on his face.
”All right!” The noodle stall owner saw Fangfang beside Xiao Ye and asked with a smile:
”Girlfriend?”
”No, this is Liu Xiang. We just met.” Xiao Ye quickly waved his hand and introduced Fangfang to the boss of the opposite stall.
”Oh, Miss Liu, do you want coriander? Lobules usually don't want it. ” The boss asked Fangfang with a smile.
”I don't want it either.” Fangfang replied with a smile.
The boss promised to cook noodles.
Fangfang was about to sit down. Xiao Ye suddenly said, ”wait.”
Then he took the paper from the table and wiped it on the stool in front of Fangfang for a long time. Then he asked her to sit down. Then he sat down on another stool and said to Fangfang apologetically:
”I'm sorry, sister Xiang. Although the environment here is bad, it tastes really good. When I earn money in the future...”
Xiao Ye's white face was a little red. He probably felt a little embarrassed to invite girls to the roadside stall to eat noodles. He sincerely continued:
”I will treat you to a big meal!”
”Later?” In fact, Fangfang doesn't mind at all. She has rented a house in this area before and has long been used to it. However, her eyes brightened when she heard what Xiao Ye said.
”Yes, I will treat you to a good meal when I have money!” Xiao Ye promised.
”Xiao Ye, Miss Liu, have some soup first.”
The boss brought two bowls of hot soup and sprinkled green and white scallions on the soup surface.
”Thank you, uncle.”
Fangfang found that there were several pieces of meat in her bowl of soup. She smiled and thanked her.
”You're welcome. Oh, it's the first time I've seen Xiaoye bring a girl.”
The boss's uncle blinked at Fangfang and went back to cook noodles.
Fangfang can't help but turn her head and look at Xiao Ye. The little milk dog unnaturally lowers her head to avoid her sight.
Fangfang smiled, supported the table with her elbow, drew a circle along the edge of the soup bowl with her index finger again, and asked Xiao Ye:
”When you have money, what are you going to treat me to?”
Xiao Ye straightened his chest and said seriously, ”I'll treat you to whatever you want!”
”Well, don't regret it then. What I like to eat is valuable!”
Fangfang's finger drew a circle on the edge of the soup bowl, and her other hand pointed to Xiao Ye.
”Well...”
Xiao Ye hesitated a little and thought about how expensive Fangfang's favorite food could be, but finally he gritted his teeth and nodded:
”It doesn't matter. You can eat anything!”
”Cut, look at your stingy look.”
Fangfang saw Xiao Ye's expression of flesh pain and said with dissatisfaction:
”I can't bear to give up before I invite you. How stingy are you?”
Xiao Ye's cheeks flushed and he bowed his head and stopped talking.
Fangfang looked at it and quickly whispered, ”I'm kidding. Am I angry?”
”No.” Xiao Ye raised his head, hesitated and said slowly:
”Sister Xiang, my hometown is in a small place far from Kyoto. The village is very poor. It's not easy for me to be a college student,
My living expenses are collected by my uncles and uncles every month. I dare not spend money indiscriminately. I'm sorry. ”
Xiao Yeyue said that the lower his voice was. In fact, when his roommates knew about his family in college, they all treated him very well.
Several brothers always brought him a piece of breakfast when they went out to buy breakfast in the morning. They also said that they couldn't eat enough. They resolutely didn't charge him money, and going out for dinner wouldn't count as his money.
The Department also helped him apply for a subsidy for poor students. Otherwise, with the conditions of his family, it would be impossible to support him to finish his university in Kyoto.
However, the more others treat him like this, the more uncomfortable and guilty he feels.
I always feel like an alien among my classmates.
Therefore, after entering the society, Xiao Ye has been trying to hide his origin, just for others to treat him normally.
