Erhei and Xiaohei are camping in the aquarium, and my recent life is like a fish in water.Not only is the family harmonious, but also their studies and work are gradually on the right track.

Although I still can’t communicate deeply with people in Chinese, I have learned a lot of simple daily conversations, but the conversations of people in country Z are completely different from what I learned in books. Often, every sentence of my conversations is basically spoken to. Wouldn't answer me with the standard answer from the book, and then the conversation would die.

But a little bit of progress is enough for me.

Recently, I often meet Davis. He is also studying at T University. Recently, he started to have a vacation, so he has more time.

When we met, we basically talked about my "novel".Davis and Paul always say I'm being too humble, though I still don't think I'm a good storyteller.

"Your writing is really good. The suspense is repeated and the layers are tightly linked. Each small story seems to be irrelevant but inextricably linked. I really don't know who the prisoner is until I read it. Looking back at the ending, there are clues between the lines. Shaw, your imagination is really good, and your luck is also good. You met me. After all, I am a master of the Chinese department. .”

Davis is very good in everything else, but after getting to know him, he is a bit narcissistic, but it's normal for someone as outstanding as him to be narcissistic.

Today is the weekend, and Yan Minglang is on a business trip. I spend the whole day with Davis. He communicates with me about a certain part of the story while translating, occasionally making jokes.

Yan Minglang also knew about our recent contact.He didn't say anything, but he didn't react to the fact that my novel was finished.

In fact, I still hope that he can give me a word of encouragement. Even if it is not as exaggerated as Paul and Davis, at least as a partner, he should support me.

But I'm used to it.

I looked at the time, it was getting late, so I drank the last sip of the cold drink in the cup.

"Okay, let's come here first today. I'll treat you to dinner. After eating, go home early and rest. It's been a busy day."

Davis nodded, closing the laptop and putting it in his backpack.

It’s been half a year since I’ve been here, and I’m a glutton again. I’ve figured out what delicious food is nearby, and I took Davis to a Suzhou restaurant. I don’t know if the beggar chicken is authentic , but the taste is really good.

However, as a foreigner, I know the food, and of course there is no reason why the locals don't know it.

Now it's a holiday, and it's the weekend again, and the waiting people have already lined up from the store to the street.

Davis and I looked at each other, and asked with a wry smile, "You're not talking about this store, are you?"

I nodded helplessly, hesitated for a moment, and said embarrassedly: "Or let's eat in another place."

He didn't mind, he looked up and took a look at the opposite side, and then pulled me across the street.

I saw the facade of that Japanese restaurant from a distance, remembering the last time I came here and lost 6000 yuan without eating a bite of food, I became depressed and felt that this restaurant must be a black restaurant.

However, Davis directly pulled me in.

As he walked, he told me that this store was recommended by his friend, and it was said to taste good. Since I happened to see it, I came in and had a taste.

I don’t have a lot of money, but Yan Minglang gave me a card before the business trip. Although I don’t want to touch his money, Davis has helped me so much. I should treat him to a good meal. of.

When I was led into the private room by the waiter, I saw the manager, who also saw me, probably recognized me, and nodded to me.

I was a little embarrassed, but I nodded politely.

We ordered and the waiter walked out the door.After a while, he came in again and served drinks and brown rice tea.

After a while, the door was opened without knocking.

When I looked up, I met Chen Jin's eyes.

He glances at me briefly, then turns to Davis.

Unexpectedly, Davis stood up in surprise and chatted with him in Chinese familiarly.

Chen Jin walked in, and immediately sat down opposite me.

Davis happily introduced me: "This is Chen Jin, my junior at the university. We all know each other well in the student union. Jin, this is Shaw, who comes from Australia like me."

Chen Jin looked at me silently, and I stared at the desktop silently, no one interrupted his introduction.

When his voice fell, Chen Jincai said: "We know each other."

Davis let out an "ah", looked at me, and suddenly seemed to remember something that shocked him, and raised his voice a bit: "The one you said—"

"Have you ordered?" Chen Jin suddenly interrupted him, and then exchanged glances with him.

Davis paused and twitched the corners of his mouth: "It's over."

The waiters began to come in and out frequently, and the tables were full.I looked down at the white porcelain cup in front of me, playing with it absently.

Davis seemed to see the discrepancy between Chen Jin and me. He had a cheerful personality and didn't feel cramped. In the middle, he talked a few words with this one and that with the other, and the atmosphere was not awkward at all.

When we were about to finish eating, Davis told me that Paul had sent him a message, asking him to go back early and bring a bottle of soy sauce, because he was in a hurry to cook.

After speaking, he hurried away with his computer bag on his back.

Before I had time to call him to stop, I glanced at Chen Jin and stood up accordingly.

"Well, I also—"

"Let's go." He put down his chopsticks and stood up.

I had to go out with him.

I went to the cashier to pay the bill, and the lady said very politely, "Second Young Master Chen has already paid the bill."

"How much is it, please?"

She looked at Chen Jin behind me, smiled and looked at me, but said nothing.

My scalp was numb for a while, and I turned around and said to Chen Jin: "This meal was originally invited by me..." I paused, and swallowed the "Davis" that came to my mouth. Although we are not friends anymore, but I don't want to embarrass him, and feel that his presence is superfluous, even though I really don't want to see him, "There is no reason to ask you to pay, I will give you how much."

Chen Jin looked at me with a pair of delicate and slender eyes. I don't know if it was my illusion, but I always felt that there was a trace of grievance in his eyes when he looked at me.

Wronged?

I was stunned, and suddenly felt that this idea was a bit ridiculous.

I think I must have read it wrong.

"It's just a meal." After he finished speaking, he turned and walked out.

I hurriedly chased him out, and he walked to a car and made a gesture to pull the car door.

In a moment of desperation, I grabbed his arm directly.

Thinking of all the things in the past, no matter how well I healed the scar and forgot the pain, I wouldn't plan to have any financial entanglements with him.He is too unpredictable, and his attitude towards me is also good and bad. I really can't blame me for treating the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

"wait."

I held him down and saw that he had stopped before taking out my wallet.

When I went out today, I planned to treat Davis to dinner, so I brought cash with me, but it was not much, only six hundred.

I knew that 600 yuan was not enough for that table of exquisite dishes, so I took out the money first, stuffed it into Chen Jin's hands, and then asked him: "How much is left, I will give it to you next time."

Chen Jin looked at the banknotes in his hand, and suddenly his attitude changed. He sneered and raised his hand, and the banknotes in his hand were blown far away by the wind.

I was taken aback by his inexplicable behavior, frowned, and squatted down to pick up the banknotes on the ground one by one.

It rained yesterday, and there were several small puddles on the side of the road, and two banknotes just fell into the puddles.I picked it up with my head down and wiped it clean with paper.

I turned around, intending to hand him the money and leave, but Chen Jin got into the car before me, slammed the door with a "bang", and walked away.

Holding a few banknotes in my hand, I put them into my wallet under the curious eyes of passers-by, and walked home with heavy steps.

The more I thought about it on the way, the more sad I felt.

I've clearly never done anything sorry for him, why does he always embarrass me?

There is absolutely no reason why a person hates another person, but I really don't know what I did wrong.I really wanted to make a call and ask Yan Minglang what the answer he didn't tell me that day was.But I can only think about it.I know I couldn't ask questions that day, and I can't ask questions now.

When I met the rabbit the next day, I gave her 1000 yuan so that she could give it to Chen Jin when she had time.

She said that there will be student union activities in a few days, and she can bring them to him for me.

Then a few days later, when I arrived at the milk tea shop, I saw Chen Jin.

Because it is summer vacation, everyone has time. Originally, I was the only one working at this time, but now there are two more colleagues.

Chen Jin actually didn't get angry in front of those two people, but just said something to them and dragged me away.

Of course, I couldn't tear myself apart with him in front of people who knew us. Even though my wrist hurt from being dragged, I trotted to keep up with him and got into his car very cooperatively.

As soon as the car door was closed, my face changed: "What's the matter, young master?" I said this in a very helpless manner. I really couldn't figure out what was going on in the minds of these rich people. Even his elder brother Chen Lun , is always weird.

He was uncharacteristically today, instead of being angry, he twitched the corners of his mouth, but his smile was a bit nasty: "Aren't you going to pay me back for my meal?"

I nodded.

He took a note from his pocket, threw it at me, and started the engine.

I picked up the long piece of paper. There were many Chinese characters and numbers on it. I couldn't understand what was written in the Chinese characters, but I could tell it was a small ticket.

My eyes fell on the bottom number and I bit my lip dejectedly.

I knew it was a black shop.

Even though I guessed that the food on that table was not cheap, I never expected it to be so expensive.The 1000 yuan I returned to him was not even enough for my own share.

Three people ate six thousand?Am I eating gold?Besides, I wasn't full at all.

I took a breath, put the small ticket away, hesitated for a while, and took out the phone from my pocket after a while.

A sneer came from beside him.

"You want to ask Yan Minglang for money again, right?"

"..."

"I originally planned to ask you to pay me back three thousand. Since Yan Minglang paid the money, he will give you whatever you want, right?"

I silently took back my phone, turned to look at Chen Jin and said, "I don't have that much money for now, can I use my salary for the next three months as a deduction?"

"I can't wait that long, Shaw," he said nonchalantly.

Then what do you want me to do?I stared at him, and all the unpleasant things in the past flooded into my memory. Finally, I couldn't bear to roar: "Chen Jin, what did I do wrong? You keep pushing me like this! You tell me I'm with you!" Can you apologize!"

His expression changed, and he slammed on the gas pedal.

I was taken aback by his sudden madness, the resentment in my heart was gone, and I could only watch helplessly as he ran through one red light after another.
