"Teacher, long time no see."

While saying hello, Wen Yao let go of Jiang Shuyi's hand as if inadvertently.

"..."

Jiang Shuyi glanced at the hand that was let go by Wen Yao, and put it in his pocket uncomfortably.

Teacher Liu walked up to Wen Yao, and kindly patted Wen Yao's shoulder with both hands.

"It's really been a long time."

Teacher Liu glanced at Wen Yao, "You have grown taller."

"I remember that you were about the same height as me in the third grade of junior high school, but now you are actually a head taller than me."

Teacher Liu made a comparison with his hands.

"Do you still remember how I was in the third year of junior high school?"

Wen Yao seemed to smile with nostalgia, "In my opinion, teacher, you are still the same as before, you haven't changed at all."

Teacher Liu laughed again after hearing this, "Maybe it's because I'm always with the students. How are you doing?"

Wen Yao lowered his eyelashes, and replied very politely, "It's okay."

Jiang Shuyi looked at her, and lowered his gaze.

Xiao Jiayu said something to the waiter downstairs, and then slowly followed.

Jiang Shuyi looked at him and didn't speak.

Xiao Jiayu also looked at her and paused, "Huh?"

"Have we met?"

Seeing the reactions of Xiao Jiayu and Jiang Shuyi, Teacher Liu noticed Jiang Shuyi. She smiled kindly and asked Wen Yao, "This is...?"

"I remember that you are Zhou Jingtang and Wen Yao's current classmate."

Xiao Jiayu answered immediately.

Jiang Shuyi nodded in a daze, "Hello."

In fact, she didn't speak to Xiao Jiayu last time.

She was a little surprised that Xiao Jiayu could still remember herself until now.

Several people stood on the stairs, Xiao Jiayu whispered to Jiang Shuyi as if joking:

"I still remember that you were drunk last time, and your eyes were very sharp when you looked at me."

"I didn't do it on purpose." Jiang Shuyi pretended to be nonchalant and lied.

"I know, it was the first time we met that day." Xiao Jiayu smiled familiarly and patted Jiang Shuyi's shoulder.

Xiao Jiayu asked Jiang Shuyi very gentlemanly: "Since it's such a coincidence, shall we have a meal together today? I'll treat you."

He spoke as if it was very natural, making Jiang Shuyi wonder if he had any kind of classmate friendship with him.

Teacher Liu smiled, and looked at Wen Yao who didn't speak, "Exactly, I haven't seen you for a long time, and the teacher also wants to talk to you—"

Wen Yao looked at Teacher Liu calmly with gentle eyes.

Jiang Shuyi knew from Wen Yao's expression that she would not refuse.

In fact, fundamentally speaking, Jiang Shuyi didn't want to have dinner with these two people, and likewise, she didn't want to be treated by Xiao Jiayu.

However, it would be impolite to say that.

Moreover, if you don't go, there is a high probability that you will go back and eat alone.

No matter how you think about it, it's a bit pitiful.

So, Jiang Shuyi nodded towards Xiao Jiayu unceremoniously, "...Oh, okay."

Just treat it as a free meal for Xiao Jiayu, and she wants to see what big things they can say.

Xiao Jiayu looked at her decisive way of agreeing, so naturally he didn't say anything, and still smiled very gentlemanly.

--

Jiang Shuyi walked into the private room together with the others.

The inside of the private room is decorated in a standard Chinese style, with delicate and unique pear wood chairs.

There are bright red painted walls and lanterns with a nice orange glow.

Retro lattice windows, white porcelain, flowing calligraphy and paintings.

Very elegant.

The private room is not big, because two people are supposed to be seated, so it seems just right for four people to be seated now.

After Teacher Liu took her seat, Wen Yao sat opposite her.

Jiang Shuyi followed in a few steps, and sat beside Wen Yao with a sense of crisis.

Xiao Jiayu didn't show any expression of dissatisfaction, and sat down across from Jiang Shuyi politely.

Because it is a reserved private room, when several people are seated, the dishes are almost ready.

Jiang Shuyi scanned around, and found that the dishes were very rich, enough for four people to eat, but there was no roast suckling pig that she wanted to eat.

Jiang Shuyi pursed his lips, silently picked up the food.

Teacher Liu and Wen Yao started talking, "You should study the same as before, right?"

Wen Yao nodded, "Thank you for your concern, it's the same as before."

"That's right. I've never worried about your study. You are my most proud student."

Teacher Liu patted Wen Yao on the shoulder.

"Mr. Liu, what do you mean by that?" Xiao Jiayu laughed.

"Am I not good?"

"I've always felt that you like classmate Wen more than me."

Xiao Jiayu coughed.

"Ah? Really? I can't remember." Teacher Liu laughed like a fool.

"But you are indeed not as good as her, you have to work hard, student Xiao."

Wen Yao seemed to remember what happened at that time, and smiled softly in his eyes.

Looking at Wen Yao's rare smile, Jiang Shuyi couldn't help but feel a little complicated.

She scooped up the soup in some silence.

Xiao Jiayu stood up, and thoughtfully used the serving chopsticks to pick up food for someone. What he picked up was the safflower crab that was just served.

"Try it, the safflower crab here is delicious."

As he spoke, he took a piece for Mr. Li and Wen Yao.

Wen Yao looked at the serving chopsticks, hesitated to take them, "...Thank you."

Seeing Wen Yao pick it up, Jiang Shuyi suddenly felt even more uncomfortable.

Without pausing, Xiao Jiayu started to hold a piece for Jiang Shuyi who was opposite him.

"Well," he seemed not to know Jiang Shuyi's name, "this classmate, you eat too."

Jiang Shuyi rejected the safflower crab he picked up, "I don't need it."

"Ah, don't you like it?" Xiao Jiayu froze for a moment.

"..." Jiang Shuyi also didn't understand why he rejected him, so he could only say: "Well, I can't eat crab meat."

After a pause, Jiang Shuyi added:

"…I am allergic to seafood."

She clearly knew that the original owner was not allergic.

She said as she picked up a piece of Huadiao chicken, "I'll just eat the other ones, you don't have to pay too much attention to me."

Wen Yao glanced at Jiang Shuyi, but didn't speak.

"Really?" Xiao Jiayu put the crab meat into his bowl with some regret, "That's really a pity."

"What else do you want to eat? You can order whatever you want."

"Well, thank you."

That being said, it's probably not good to order a whole roast suckling pig after eating half of the meal now. Jiang Shuyi thought as he chewed the Huadiao chicken in silence.

"By the way, Wen Yao, I left you a call last time, why didn't you call me?"

After eating for a while, Xiao Jiayu asked as if remembering.

"If I knew I could meet you today, I would have brought you here," he put down his chopsticks, "Lindell's book."

"There is no one around me who likes his books as much as you do. Reading alone is meaningless."

Xiao Jiayu made a regretful expression.

Wen Yao smiled calmly.

Isn't it just a novel? Wen Yao reads it every day, what's the difference between his one or two?

Jiang Shuyi's eyelashes drooped down, while thinking, he put a lot of millet pepper into his dipping sauce.

She picked up a piece of white-cut chicken and dipped it in.

Xiao Jiayu looked over, "Student, won't your stomach hurt if you put spicy millet like this?"

"I'm fine." Jiang Shuyi frowned.

Teacher Liu smiled, "People who love spicy food eat like this, and I also like to put millet spicy food."

Jiang Shuyi nodded politely at the teacher, not knowing what to say in reply.

Xiao Jiayu frowned at Teacher Liu's sauce, "Wow, teacher, can you bear it?"

"It's delicious." Teacher Liu smiled.

Xiao Jiayu glanced at Wen Yao, "Wen Yao, what about you?"

"..." Wen Yao looked at his dipping sauce, "I don't like spicy food very much, generally, it's the original taste."

"Oh, our two tastes are very consistent." Xiao Jiayu smiled slightly, and then pointed at the slices of Shenjing roast goose,

"By the way, do you like the deep well roast goose dipped in roast goose sauce or plum sauce?"

Teacher Liu thought for a while, "Sweet and sour plum sauce tastes better, not too greasy."

"...I'm also sour plum sauce." Jiang Shuyi blinked and replied immediately.

Xiao Jiayu was silent for a moment, then looked at Wen Yao, "Wen Yao, what about you?"

Wen Yao glanced at Jiang Shuyi, "...roast goose juice."

"It seems that our tastes are the same." Xiao Jiayu laughed.

—Professor Xiao and Professor Wen are a good match.

For some reason, such a sentence came to Jiang Shuyi's mind.

Jiang Shuyi lowered his head, feeling a little dissatisfied with his stomach.

Wen Yao can't eat at all. The more Jiang Shuyi thought about it, the more angry he became.

Obviously sour plum sauce is much more delicious than roast goose sauce...

Jiang Shuyi began to eat sullenly by himself.

Wen Yao, Teacher Liu and Xiao Jiayu started talking again, Jiang Shuyi looked at Wen Yao's smile and felt that he shouldn't have come here.

She has nothing to do with this teacher or Xiao Jiayu, and she has no interest in them.

What can you do here?

Nothing but embarrassment.

They are a group, in a class, and she is an outsider.

--

After dinner, several people walked out of the restaurant and stood on the road to say goodbye.

"It's getting late, tomorrow is Monday,"

Teacher Liu smiled, "You have to work hard to get into college, the teacher will cheer you on."

"Thank you teacher." Wen Yao looked at Teacher Liu calmly.

Jiang Shuyi also said thank you.

Xiao Jiayu glanced at Wen Yao, "Wen Yao, shall I take you home?"

"..."

Jiang Shuyi was stunned for a moment, then put his hands under his clothes angrily.

She really wanted to say, 'Wen Yao is living in my house now, where do I need you to see her off'.

But when the words came to her lips, she remembered that Wen Yao told herself not to tell others that she was living in her home, so she let out a breath and looked at the ground without saying anything.

"No, I still have something to do with her, let's just say goodbye here."

Wen Yao thought for a moment and refused.

"That's fine," Xiao Jiayu smiled as if he didn't care much.

"By the way, remember to call me." Xiao Jiayu made a gesture.

"I'll bring you the book."

"Yeah." Wen Yao nodded politely.

Before Xiao Jiayu left, he patted Jiang Shuyi on the shoulder, "Let's talk more next time."

"Ah, um." Jiang Shuyi smiled without knowing how to respond.

--

on the way back.

Jiang Shuyi walked some distance away from Wen Yao, without saying a word.

Wen Yao didn't even talk to her and walked forward without saying a word.

After a while, Jiang Shuyi grievously pulled Wen Yao's sleeve.

"What's wrong?" Wen Yao glanced at her.

Jiang Shuyi looked at Wen Yao sullenly, then lowered his head after a while, "I'm angry, Wen Yao."

Obviously today, Wen Yao agreed to go to the movies with her, obviously it was supposed to be just two people spending Christmas together...

But everything is different from what she imagined.

Jiang Shuyi was really angry today.

She was angry that Wen Yao let go of her hand without hesitation when she saw the teacher.

She was also angry that Xiao Jiayu brought food for Wen Yao, so she took it.

She was also angry that Wen Yao was like an ice cube and hardly smiled at herself, but when Xiao Jiayu talked to her, she could laugh like a normal human being.

She was angry that she didn't know Wen Yao's past, so that it seemed like an insignificant air when they were talking.

She was angry that Xiao Jiayu was a nice person, but she looked like a nuisance.

What made her most angry was that she was so angry, but she still stood here and pulled Wen Yao in a disgraceful manner.

"so?"

"What do you want to say?" Wen Yao asked expressionlessly as usual.

Jiang Shuyi looked at Wen Yao and said confidently:

"You have to comfort me."
