Chapter 221 Li Bing tells the truth, Teacher Jiang is a twin, right?

"That's true, eh."

Wei Zhen sighed and scratched his forehead in annoyance.

He was so angry at Liu Nan that he impulsively decided to rent a house. Now that he has calmed down, he feels that this was an immature idea.

I finally saved up some money, but it was actually not enough to spend lavishly. After spending lavishly for a while, there was nothing left in my wallet.

He earned more than 10,000 yuan from his part-time job, and he spent 8,000 yuan on clothes because those skirts were too expensive. Before making the decision, Wei Zhen didn't expect that the rent near the university town would be so expensive. If he really wanted to rent a house, the 8,000 yuan would only be enough for a few months.

There is no doubt that he will be in a dilemma of having to make money to pay the rent, but what about his studies?

The stories about iron men who can hold down multiple jobs without affecting their studies are all made up in motivational bestsellers. Just take a look at them.

Besides, if he were to share a house, he would have to deal with new roommates and establish new relationships, and he is not a particularly sociable person.

But, Quan Yafeng has been brought here and he has looked at several houses. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to pretend nothing happened and go back to the dormitory?
When Wei Zhen thought of this, he kept silent and turned his head to look out the window.

inside the car.

Chen Yuan clearly felt that Wei Zhen had been shaken, so his mission to ease the relationship was half completed.

Boys don’t have so many things to worry about before, but with someone acting as a peacemaker, most conflicts can be easily resolved.

Chen Yuan glanced at Liu Nan's bitter face and sneered in his heart.

Wei Zhen should teach him a lesson. He is always talkative and always causes trouble. He then lets others clean up the mess, causing a lot of worry for the fathers in the dormitory.

"Now that we're all together, let's find some entertainment. We can't just wander around the streets." Chen Yuan took the initiative to suggest.

"How about we go have some coffee? I heard recently that a new store opened and there's a group buy event, and girls get half price. I guess there'll be a lot of young ladies there."

"Little sister!" Liu Nan was excited when he heard Wei Zhen say this, "Go, go, go! I will definitely go."

"I'm not going." Looking at him, Wei Zhen's expression changed instantly, and he returned to his state of looking out the window with a cold face.

"..."

"go to eat?"

"It's not time yet, Boss. I just finished lunch. I can find some activities to do before eating."

"How about we play in a five-person team in an internet cafe? We haven't played games together in a while."

"Where are the five people?"

"Then let's play PUBG, four people sitting in a row, and die as soon as they land! Isn't my suggestion good?"

"I have no opinion."

"I don't have any objection either."

"Humph."

"Let's go, since you have no objections, let's go to the Internet cafe today!"

Because school had not started yet, everyone arrived early and had plenty of time for team building.

College years are probably the most carefree time for young people who love to play. Once they enter society and work like slaves, they don’t have time to attend most parties.

I will definitely miss it terribly then, the days when everyone could just rush forward without any worries.

However, if there is an opportunity, friends can bring their girlfriends or wives, and those who have children can bring their children, and it will be a family joy to get together.

But basically, college classmates are scattered all over the world, and the opportunities to meet each other are very few.

……

A few hours later.

"Stop looting, can you please save me first? The poison is coming!"

"Don't be so anxious. I looted the loot to pick up smoke bombs. How can I save people on the bridge without smoke bombs? You can't even climb a few steps."

"Why should I climb? There's someone on the other side of the bridge with a machine gun pointing at me. I was shot to pieces by a burst of bullets just now."

"Shh, don't make noise..."

Chen Yuan signaled Liu Nan to be quiet. He had a serious expression on his face, and was stuck behind an abandoned jeep. He had already taken the pre-aiming position, waiting only to peer back and fire a Magnum shot in the head.

After playing seven or eight rounds, this was their most profitable round. After landing at the airport, the four of them worked together to kill their way through the entire airport. During this time, Liu Nan fell three times. All he could do was shout "help, help, help" and "the opponent is seriously injured", even though he only fired one shot.

Coming out of the airport, with their lips licking their lips, the four of them got in a jeep and went to block the bridge in a screaming manner.

We encountered an airdrop halfway and a fierce battle ensued.

Halfway through the game, there were less than thirty people left, and at least two-thirds of them were gathered around the bridge.

Now, someone on the bridge threw mines and bombs every ten seconds or so. Chen Yuan and his four companions, who arrived first, became the target of everyone's attack and were trapped in the middle, unable to retreat.

"When you get up, take the medicine first and hide behind."

"Okay, okay, let me throw a smoke bomb first."

"Hey? Why did I hear someone throwing a bomb under their feet...did I hear it wrongly?"

"Fuck you! Liu Nan, were you throwing a smoke bomb or a grenade?!"

"You were killed by Chen Yuan. That's our strongest firepower! You beast!"

Four people play together.

The main theme is passion.

Amidst all the cursing, the bridge blocking plan that had made the most money for several people ended in failure.

Chen Yuan lay limply on the gaming chair. Liu Nan's thunder blew away all his spirit.

What I’m afraid of is not the opponent’s strength, but the teammates’ stupidity!

We played games for a whole afternoon. The high-intensity and focused gaming was really exhausting, and was no less exhausting than fitness or running. When we walked out of the Internet cafe, several of us were starving.

During this period, the relationship between Liu Nan and Wei Zhen certainly eased.

original.

With this cheerful mood, Chen Yuan wanted to discuss the renting issue during the meal, but unexpectedly, Quan Yafeng suddenly called Wei Zhen when he walked out of the Internet cafe.

"Wei Zhen," the eldest brother hesitated, "Why don't you stop living outside and come back to the dormitory at night. If it doesn't work, I'll hold his head down and apologize to you."

"…No, I actually wanted to move out a long time ago, and I'm just taking this opportunity to say it."

"Don't move," Chen Yuan sighed, "It's hard to say what will happen in the store. Without this high-paying job, it's too stressful to be outside."

"It's okay. My boss's store can continue to operate. I just said it casually."

"How about we go eat first?" Liu Nan suggested at this time.

"Yes, let's eat."

"You can give Li Bing a call and ask her," Quan Yafeng hesitated, "At noon... didn't you say in the car that she knew something? Why not ask her to come over for dinner and make sure she has a stable income before renting a house? That would be great, don't you think?"

It turns out that this is what Quan Yafeng was planning.

No wonder he suddenly did this after coming out of the Internet cafe.

Chen Yuan figured it out.

"Invite her to dinner? There are four of us, grown men. Are you sure she will come? Boss, last time we had a dinner together, I tried to persuade you for a long time but you didn't even add her green bubble. This time..."

"I will be brave this time! I will definitely do it!" Quan Yafeng hugged his neck in a flattering manner, "I'll treat you to dinner tonight, eat as much as you want."

"Oh... okay."

Chen Yuan didn't care. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but it disappeared in a flash.

Although it is a carefree age, everyone has their own worries. Quan Yafeng is secretly in love with someone but cannot get her, Liu Nan always offends others because he can't control his mouth, and Wei Zhen is afraid that the fact that she is Xiao Nan's mother in private will be exposed, so she tries to cover it up.

he himself……

Not to mention, the issue of multiple personalities has not been figured out yet.

Several people walked side by side towards the parking lot.

Quan Yafeng stared at Wei Zhen as he took out his cell phone and dialed Li Bing's number. He pricked up his ears to listen to the call with a nervous expression.

"Hello? Are you off work, Li Bing? I don't have anything to do, so I wanted to ask you to have a meal together. Besides, I didn't ask you about the store this morning, but you were busy and went to work without saying a word. It's a good time to ask. How many people are you asking? We are all in the dormitory, so you can eat whatever you want. Come on...then I'll pick you up."

Some communication.

It actually worked.

Quan Yafeng danced excitedly beside him.

"Great! That's great! Xiaozhen, you are my half-brother!" "Tsk tsk, there's hope!"

"What's the drama?"

"I think there's a chance between you and Li Bing," Wei Zhen said with a thoughtful look on his face. "Logically, she wouldn't agree to it. And you know her personality. She's willing to come these few times, which means she's not opposed to having dinner with you."

"It's well-reasoned and convincing." Quan Yafeng nodded vigorously, extremely excited.

……

A few of them randomly found a Sichuan restaurant.

Everyone is not picky about food. They are all students, so they certainly won't rush to charge Quan Yafeng a lot for a meal. In this Sichuan restaurant, five people will only spend about 100 or 200 yuan to eat until they are full.

Not long after, Li Bing was brought here.

Chen Yuan didn't want to drive as he was a little tired, so he gave the car to Quan Yafeng, the only person with a driver's license. He and Liu Nan went to the hotel to wait.

People together.

The food was served just in time.

No one knew what Quan Yafeng was thinking. After bringing the person over, he very consciously sat down next to Chen Yuan, and gave the other seat to Wei Zhen and Li Bing.

This operation left everyone scratching their heads.

Three boys at a table rolled their eyes at him.

It’s not that everyone didn’t create opportunities for him, nor is it that Quan Yafeng is a straight man, he is just thin-skinned!

It makes others anxious!

If it was Liu Nan, he would have wanted to kneel on the ground and lick the soles of the girl's shoes. How could he have the mood to show his gentlemanly manners? Do you think this is a secret crush in junior high school? He handed in a homework book secretly with someone else, and his face immediately turned red when his friends found out.

Besides, Li Bing knew clearly that Quan Yafeng was interested in her.

You can't make it dark even if you want to.

"Come on, let's eat!"

After a burst of chopstick clinking sounds, everyone was no longer in the mood to care about this shameless bastard and focused on filling their stomachs.

……

"I say, what's wrong with the store manager? She hasn't been arranging shifts these past few days. Some people have asked for leave and left early, some are slacking off and staying in the dressing room, and some are having conflicts with customers. I didn't see the store manager this morning. Did she go there this afternoon?"

"I went..." Li Bing ate in a very polite manner, picking up small handfuls of rice with his chopsticks and stuffing them into his mouth, occasionally picking up some vegetables, "I heard that the maid shop will no longer be open in the future, maybe next month."

"Is it true?" Wei Zhen asked in surprise.

Hearing this, Chen Yuan stopped eating and listened quietly to what was going on.

Quan Yafeng was secretly happy and thought that Li Bing's voice was very clear and pleasant.

"That's what Sister Ran said."

"Why not? Business is so good!"

"The contract expired and the shop was rented to someone else."

"Impossible. I saw the store manager doing the accounts at the front desk a few days ago. She wanted to use some of the money for further renovations and repair the stage in the middle. I haven't heard of the store expiring."

"I don't know the details, maybe someone else rented it first and she hasn't signed a new contract yet."

"Shit... Then we can just change the store and open it somewhere else. We have so many regular customers. As long as we send a notice in the group, many people will probably go to the new store."

At this time.

Chen Yuan answered subconsciously: "If we move to a new place, we may have to pay a higher rent. The rent is not what it was a few years ago. Even the rent of a place with a slightly worse location will fluctuate by 50%. Maybe we can find such a large place in the suburbs, and it's not that expensive."

What he said was exactly what he learned from several colleagues on the project a few days ago.

In an instant, a look of loss appeared on Wei Zhen's face.

"It looks like I can't do this part-time job." He said dejectedly.

"I'm going to get another tutoring job."

“Tutoring makes too little.”

"There's nothing we can do. It has come to this. We need to make plans for the next step."

"Then your family's debt—" Wei Zhen blurted out, then realized that he had said the wrong thing, he quickly stopped talking, "Forget it, this is the only way."

Although he didn't say it out loud, everyone heard it.

Chen Yuan's heart was slightly moved, but he quickly lowered his gaze and continued to eat in silence.

"It's a pity for the store manager. I heard from my colleagues that she and her husband opened this store together. Later, her husband had an accident and she worked hard to maintain the business. She finally realized their common dream, but it only lasted for two years... The person who signed the contract first was a beast. I don't know how many sisters will have to find new jobs now. There will be no such good maid shop in Lanjing in the future." Wei Zhen said rather sadly.

"I don't think so," Chen Yuan shook his head unexpectedly. "Signing the contract first is normal business competition. Such a good place, everyone wants it. If the store manager doesn't lower the price, it won't be snatched away by others. Besides, when the contract expires, the owner has the right to rent the store to anyone who pays enough rent."

His speech was so inhumane.

This immediately made several people look at him sideways.

Everyone, including Quan Yafeng, was shocked and blinked their eyes.

In my impression, Chen Yuan has always given people the impression of being kind and bright. Even if he had such words in his mind, he couldn't say them in front of the two maid shop employees, right?

The key point is, didn’t Wei Zhen say that this was her and her husband’s dream?

"Ah? That depends on personal relationships. The owner also knows the inside story. Isn't this equivalent to destroying other people's long-term hard work and efforts?"

"Then why does your store manager keep lowering the price and not renewing the contract?"

"Because it's expensive, you always have to bargain."

"Okay, I think what you said... makes sense."

Chen Yuan nodded. His behavior today was a little different from usual.

Everyone sensed that something was wrong.

Li Bing, on the other hand, thought for a while and suddenly nodded: "What Chen said is indeed correct. We have different standpoints."

Talking and chatting.

The meal passed like this, and night gradually enveloped the entire Lanjing.

On the street, the street lights are on, marking the end of a busy day and office workers are still walking on the road, but they seem a little more cheerful as they move.

There is no doubt that getting off work is much more enjoyable than going to get off work.

Quan Yafeng went to pay the bill.

Liu Nan and Wei Zhen seemed to have reconciled through this meal, and it was worth it that everyone spent half a day paving this way for him.

Li Bing and Chen Yuan were the only ones left at the table.

Next to them, guests were toasting and drinking beer in big gulps.

Chen Yuan was playing with his phone and sent a message to Jiang Ning saying that he would be home soon and asked her if she had dinner in the evening.

Amid the noise.

"Student Chen?"

"Um...what's wrong?"

Chen Yuan raised his head and looked at Li Bing with some confusion.

"I have a question for you."

"ask."

"How long have you been dating Teacher Jiang?"

"Nearly a year."

"Is the relationship good?"

"Good."

"Teacher Jiang... has a younger sister. They are twins, right?"

Just for a moment.

After Li Bing finished speaking, Chen Yuan's fingers stopped typing on the screen.

He slowly raised his face and asked with some difficulty:
"What…twins…what are you talking about?"
