After the breakup, Mr. Shang thought that the father was more valuable than the son.

Qi Xiaorui grabbed Song Xier's arm and whispered, "Let's go there."

Yang Ming smiled and said: "Junhuang has launched a high-scoring set meal specially for students taking the postgraduate entrance examination these days, and Mr. Shang has already ordered two."

Song Xier: "..."

It seems that she has never experienced this kind of ritual before taking the college entrance examination.

I didn't expect that I would get the benefit of the doubt now.

Song Xi'er and Qi Xiaorui walked to the dining table where Shang Ji was sitting. It was a four-person table. Before Qi Xiaorui sat down, Song Xi'er took a seat at the back opposite to Shang Ji and tried to stick it as close to the wall as possible.

Qi Xiaorui seemed to pause for a moment, and then sat down cautiously opposite Shang Ji.

Song Xier did not see Shang Ji throughout the whole process and tried her best to reduce her sense of presence.

She had thought about it, and after the food was served, she would eat something simple, and then she would send Qi Xiaorui a message on the pretext of going to the bathroom to leave first.

While I was distracted thinking, a voice suddenly sounded in my ear: "Miss Song, do you like hanging on the wall to eat?"

The tone was a bit cold, with a hint of teasing that wasn't very obvious.

Song Xier suddenly raised her head and met Shang Ji's eyes looking at her.

The man's eyes were dark and emotionless.

"..." Even though she was closer, she didn't hang on.

Qi Xiaoruiye turned her head and saw Song Xier's sitting posture. She couldn't help but smile and pulled her to this side: "I have a seat, and I'm not crowded."

Song Xi'er smiled awkwardly, coughed slightly and sat up straight.

Shang Ji looked away, wiped his hands with a hot towel and asked, "What to drink?"

Qi Xiaorui: "Just orange juice."

"Yeah." Shang Ji nodded, without asking Song Xier, and turned his head and said a few words to the waiter.

Song Xi'er was also very sensible and didn't say that she didn't like drinking orange juice. After all, she wasn't the person they wanted to ask.

She took a sip of the lemonade at hand, and unconsciously pinched her trouser legs with her hands on her legs.

Their position was next to the window. Because they were quite high, they couldn't see anything when they turned their heads and went out of the building.

But Song Xi'er seemed to be looking at something very interesting, her eyes always focused on the window.

She had just sat down, but Song Xier was suffering inexplicably.

This dish is served too slowly, and the food I ordered in advance has not yet been delivered.

Song Xier is usually very patient, but today for some reason she was very impatient with waiting.

"Xi'er, Mr. Shang." Qi Xiaorui suddenly stood up: "I want to go to the bathroom."

Song Xi'er quickly looked away from the window, and when she was about to say something, Qi Xiaorui had already left her seat.

"..."

Song Xi'er looked at Qi Xiaorui's back and hesitated to speak.

Shang Ji raised his eyes lightly: "You want to go too?"

Song Xi'er was about to nod when her cell phone suddenly rang. It was Su Mei calling.

Song Xi'er stood up from her seat while holding her cell phone: "I'm going to answer a call."

After saying that, he took his cell phone and walked out quickly.

Shang Ji sat there, his deep eyes falling on Song Xier's back as she walked straight out of the restaurant, and she didn't even look back until she disappeared from sight.

"Xi'er, have you eaten?" Su Mei asked with concern: "Don't be nervous, take a nap after eating, and don't put too much pressure on yourself."

"I know mom." Song Xi'er nodded warmly: "I'm not nervous."

Before the exam, she was indeed very nervous and anxious, and her anxiety did not subside even after the exam.

But when Su Mei said this, Song Xier suddenly realized that the anxiety and tension she had felt before seemed to have disappeared from nowhere.

Maybe it was when he called Qi Xiaorui but Shang Ji answered the phone, or maybe it was the moment when he sat down in the restaurant as a light bulb.

In short, her current mood is indeed quite chaotic, but it is not because of the exam.

"It's good that you're not nervous." Su Mei said with a smile, "I'll make delicious food for you and Xiaorui after you finish the exam."

"Okay." Song Xi'er smiled and nodded. Suddenly something occurred to her. She paused and said, "Xiao Rui probably won't go back with me later."

At noon, Shang Ji specially waited for Xiaorui to have dinner together. She thought that after the second exam, the two of them would definitely be together.

"Did you make an appointment with a friend?" Su Mei didn't ask further: "That's okay. There are still two days, aren't we? Come back together then."

After saying that, seeing that Su Mei seemed to want to hang up, Song Xier quickly stopped the person and chatted for a while.

It was a very boring chat. In the past, the two of them would not do this on the phone. They would hang up after talking about the main business. As for other trivial matters, they would basically talk about it in person.

But now Qi Xiaorui went to the bathroom, and Song Xier didn't want to go back and sit face to face with Shang Ji, no matter how embarrassed she thought.

She thought Shang Ji definitely didn't want to either.

If only she had told her to go to the bathroom earlier, it would have given them some time alone.

Song Xi'er was thinking a lot in her mind while chatting wordlessly with Su Mei.

"What's wrong with you kid today?" Su Mei asked with a smile, "You said you weren't nervous just now? Are you still nervous?"

"...a little bit." Song Xi'er couldn't find any excuse for a while, so she had to admit it.

"Xi'er, you know that your mother has no requirements for you. As long as you can live a good life and be happy." Su Mei's tone became serious: "Although I know that this exam is very important to you, you also need to prepare for it." It’s been so long.”

"But even if the result is not what we expected, it's okay. At worst, we can continue next year, and mom will be with you."

Su Mei paused as she spoke and then said: "Or if you don't want to take the exam, I will support it. Anyway, don't feel pressure. No matter what the result is, as long as we work hard, there will be no regrets, you know?"

"Yes." Song Xi'er pressed the phone closer, listening to her mother's gentle voice in her ear, her eyes were a little red: "I know, I'm not nervous now."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Qi Xiaorui coming out of the bathroom not far away. Seeing this, Song Xier said something to Su Mei and hung up the phone.

When the two of them returned to the table and sat down, the waiter was serving the food.

This is obviously a Western restaurant, but the dishes served are all Chinese food.

The two postgraduate entrance examination set meals mentioned by Shang Ji were actually different. The main course of Song Xier's meal was braised pork trotters, paired with garlic okra, and a portion of porridge with rich ingredients, and an appetizing little snack on the side. Zongzi.

Song Xi'er's eyes lit up when she saw the rice dumplings. She had no appetite at first and suddenly gained appetite.

Song Xier likes to eat rice dumplings very much, but she is very picky. Song Xier doesn't like to eat most of the rice dumplings sold on the market. Her favorite is the one made with Su Mei.

There is no filling inside, but the glutinous rice is mixed with a special sauce before being wrapped in the rice dumpling leaves, and then a little bit of finely chopped dry tofu is put in. After steaming, it will be particularly fragrant.

This is the rice dumpling in front of you.

"Wow, it looks delicious." Qi Xiaorui looked up with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Shang."

Song Xi'er also raised her head and wanted to say thank you, but Shang Ji looked at her and spoke first: "What do you think, Miss Song?"

The moment she saw the small rice dumplings on the plate, Song Xier's entire eyebrows were unconsciously dyed with bright light.

So when she raised her head to meet Shang Ji's gaze, the smile between her eyebrows had not even had time to dissipate. She nodded subconsciously after being asked, and nodded twice in succession.

Song Xi'er didn't react until the order was finished. The expression on her face seemed to be stiff for a second, and then she suddenly lost all expression.
