Chapter 450 The Stars Are Still Shining (Subscription Request)
Mercedes Benz through the starry autumn night of Lijin.
Zhang Yunqi was driving the car and Ji Ling was sitting in the passenger seat.
The three roommates were sitting in the back seats, Qian Qian and Sun Jingyu were already secretly shocked.
They didn't know how much the car cost, but they had heard of the logo of the foreign brand Mercedes-Benz. However, for college students like them who were just beginning to experience the materialistic society, the Hunan 08.88888 license plate hanging on the front of the car seemed even more eye-catching.
When they got on the bus, they could clearly feel the gazes of their peers. They knew very well that this had nothing to do with them, but at that moment, the girls' vanity was still uncontrollably satisfied.
Qian Qian couldn't help but ask, "This car looks so high-end, how much does it cost?"
Zhang Yunqi told the truth: "The normal channel is about 115 million. I asked a friend to help me buy the car, and it only cost 75."
The car became silent. After a while, Sun Jingyu said timidly, "Ji Ling, your friend is really rich. 75... and he only spent..."
Ji Ling was sitting cross-legged and playing with her phone. When she heard what Sun Jingyu said, she took a sip of coffee and said slowly, "75 is just a drop in the ocean in Xiao Zhang's pocket."
Zhang Yunqi was happy.
There is no way, when a person has money, even farting smells like pretense. He said something very sincere: "I do have a little money, but not as exaggerated as Ji Ling said, and my family was not rich before. You are Ji Ling's friend, so just treat me as a friend in the future. There may be no need to talk about other things, just eat, drink and have fun."
Ji Ling's other roommate, Zhang Jiaqi, had not spoken since getting in the car. At this moment, listening to Zhang Yunqi's voice, she reached out and touched the leather backrest. The air conditioning in the car was obviously very cold, but the girl's heart felt a little hot.
At this moment, she suddenly remembered that Ji Ling denied that she and Zhang Yunqi were in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship in the dormitory. Zhang Jiaqi looked up at Zhang Yunqi's profile, which seemed to have become thinner and more stable in the dim light coming in from the car window.
Seeing that the girls were silent, Zhang Yunqi asked, "What do you want to eat?"
Zhang Jiaqi reacted and took the initiative to say with a smile: "You decide, we are all fine."
Zhang Yunqi thought about it and drove to Lushanyin on the north side of the auxiliary road of Orange Island Bridge. It is a high-end seafood courtyard restaurant located on the west bank of the Xiangjiang River and backed by mountains and forests.
This was the place Lin Shiyu had brought him to before, and he felt the taste and environment were both pretty good. The restaurant had an open-air courtyard with colorful lights reflected in the flowers and plants in the courtyard. While sitting there, he could also look out over the shimmering surface of the Xiangjiang River.
After a few people found a seat and sat down, the waitress came over with tea and menus. Zhang Yunqi handed the menus to the three girls. Qian Qian and Sun Jingyu said nothing. Zhang Jiaqi was very reserved at this time, not at all casual as when she first met Zhang Yunqi in the dormitory. She smiled and said that just a simple meal would be fine.
"Then I'll do it." It was Ji Ling who took the menu. She ordered a sashimi platter, shrimp mushrooms in sauce, steamed crab with green onions and lilies, sea salt mullet, and clam stewed with sea duck.
Ji Ling doesn't eat spicy food, but she knows Zhang Yunqi eats spicy food. Since it was the first time for the three roommates to eat together, she was not sure, so she ordered spicy swimming crab, spicy yellow eel, and a bunch of heavy-flavored barbecue.
Zhang Yunqi asked the waiter to get a few bottles of beer and Maofeng tea.
It didn't take long for us to wait, and seafood and barbecue were served one after another while we chatted. However, the girls were quite reserved and polite in picking up the dishes.
Zhang Yunqi took a sip of Maofeng tea and said, "I suddenly remembered a story. Do you want to hear it?"
Several girls looked at him.
Zhang Jiaqi smiled and said, "I want to listen."
Zhang Yunqi put down his teacup and said, "I have a friend named Xiao Ming. Last month, he went fishing with his father-in-law. The float sank, and when he pulled it, he found a big fish. Xiao Ming pulled it up hard, but he lost his balance and knocked his father-in-law, who was over 60 years old, into the river. When his father-in-law got ashore, he didn't say anything, but said the water was a little cold! A few days later, Xiao Ming went to his father-in-law again and said, "Dad, do you want to go fishing?"
After a pause, Zhang Yunqi looked at the four girls and asked, "What do you think Xiao Ming's father-in-law said?"
Ji Ling held her delicate cheeks and listened with great interest: "What did you say?"
Zhang Yunqi said: "Xiao Ming's father-in-law said: I only have one daughter, and the property will be yours sooner or later, so don't be too anxious..."
Ji Ling's train of thought seemed to be different from that of ordinary people, and she subconsciously said, "I only have one daughter in my family."
Several girls burst into laughter.
Qian Qian covered her mouth and said, "Anyway, don't let Zhang Yunqi ask your father to go fishing."
It was still a bit hot in the early September night. In an open-air restaurant on the west bank of the Xiangjiang River, the atmosphere gradually heated up because of this bland joke. Several girls who just met today but will spend four years of college together chatted while eating, and friendship seemed to be established all of a sudden.
Zhang Yunqi drank Huangshan Maofeng tea and looked at the sparkling Xiangjiang River in the distance, feeling that his college life had just begun was quite comfortable. How is his college life now, as he met his first friend 1500 kilometers away?
After dinner, Zhang Yunqi sent the girls back to the dormitory.
The girls had drunk some wine and were in high spirits. Zhang Yunqi was also very cooperative and accelerated the car very quickly. The strong push-back feeling of the Mercedes-Benz and the whistling night wind filled the car with laughter.
Zhang Yunqi played a song called "The Stars Still Shine" released by Little Tigers in 93, and several girls sang along in the car.
Through the car window, sweet singing drifted from the Juzizhou Bridge on the west bank of the Xiangjiang River to the Huahe Girls' Dormitory at the foot of Yuelu Mountain: "The stars are still shining, and true love has not changed. Only with tears and sweat can we wash away the sorrows and joys of separation and reunion..."
When he arrived at the dormitory building, Zhang Yunqi stopped the car.
It was already very dark at that time, but the Huahe dormitory building where the female students of the Art Department of Xiangnan Normal University lived and the road in front of the door were still brightly lit. The blurry figures of men and women seemed to overlap in the light.
Ji Ling’s three roommates said goodbye to Zhang Yunqi one after another and thanked him for the dinner.
Zhang Yunqi smiled and nodded: "Let's meet next time."
Several girls got out of the car.
Ji Ling was the last one to get off the bus. Zhang Yunqi couldn't help but give her a few words of advice: "Girl, you are used to being free. This is your first time as a boarding student. Get along well with your roommates and control your temper. You will have military training tomorrow. Remember to call me if you have anything."
"Okay, okay." Ji Ling reached out and grabbed Zhang Yunqi's hair, pushed the door and got out of the car: "Xiao Zhang, please be safe on the road. I'm so sleepy and I'm going to sleep."
Zhang Yunqi nodded and glanced sideways at Ji Ling who was waving at him in the street lights. The sterling silver clover pendant that the girl had been wearing for some time was swaying in the wind, and the diamonds inlaid on it reflected dazzling light.
Zhang Yunqi retracted his gaze, stepped on the accelerator, and drove away from the starry night of Lijin City, once again startling countless pairs of mandarin ducks and wild mandarin ducks.
Several girls stood on the side of the road and watched Zhang Yunqi go away. They had been playing all night and were now tired, so they went back to the dormitory together to wash up and prepare for bed.
Zhang Jiaqi kept dawdling behind and even looked back at the shadow of the Mercedes-Benz in the night.
"Jia Qi, what's wrong?" Ji Ling was a little surprised when she saw that Zhang Jia Qi didn't catch up with her, so she stopped.
"Uh, nothing. I drank some wine and wanted to breathe some fresh air to sober up." Zhang Jiaqi seemed to have regained his senses. He smiled and walked over to take Ji Ling's arm, then walked into the girls' dormitory with Ji Ling.
When going upstairs, she suddenly said casually: "By the way, Ji Ling, Zhang Yunqi is so outstanding and good to you, why don't you date him? Which department is he in Xiangtan University?"
Ji Ling was stunned.
Then she smiled.
******
The starry night still shone brightly in Lijin.
Zhang Yunqi drove to his new home at the foot of Yuelu Mountain.
It was so late, Zhang Yunqi didn't plan to go back to the dormitory to sleep. He had already met and known several roommates, and he didn't plan to live there in the future.
Why don't you enjoy your large single-family villa hidden in the mountains and forests with a panoramic view of Yueshan and Xiangshui, but instead run to the boys' dormitory where the stinky feet stinkingly chokes bitches to experience hard life?
This is a bit difficult for him to do.
Just after parking the car in front of his house, Zhang Yunqi remembered that his military training camouflage uniforms were still in the dormitory. It would be a waste of precious morning time to rush over to change clothes early tomorrow morning.
He closed the car door and went to the co-ed dormitory of Shonan University to get his clothes.
It was a ten-minute walk, and Zhang Yunqi, who runs all year round, could reach the destination in almost no time. However, when he reached the dormitory door, his attention was attracted by a boy.
The boy was sitting on the stone steps at the door of the dormitory.
He looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a cigarette in his mouth, and was dressed in tattered clothes, ripped jeans and a shirt. His messy hair hung in front of his forehead, and his head smelled heavily of dust and sweat. But his eyes were particularly sharp, which made Zhang Yunqi feel that this boy was very unruly.
