Chapter 133

Feng Qingyi chatted with Jiang Xiaoxiao for a bit as the waiters slowly began to serve the dishes.

Looking at the food being brought to the table, Feng Qingyi spoke softly.

"Xiaoxiao, this meal we're splitting must cost over a thousand yuan! I think that's Buddha Jumps Over the Wall - I've never even tried it before!"

"Neither have I," Jiang Xiaoxiao replied.

"Do you know who ordered all this?" Feng Qingyi asked.

Jiang Xiaoxiao shook her head, "There were already a lot of people here when I arrived. Since we're here, we might as well eat plenty and make the trip worthwhile."

The dishes that followed were each more expensive than the last, with all sorts of pricey seafood being served.

Even the red wine they poured wasn't cheap, costing tens of thousands per bottle.

"Qingyi, want some wine?" Jiang Xiaoxiao poured herself a small glass.

Feng Qingyi waved her hand, "No thanks, I don't drink."

"This is our first reunion since high school graduation. We rarely get together like this, so let's all raise a toast," the class president stood up.

Everyone obligingly raised their glasses, and the table was filled with laughter and chatter.

However, due to the large size of the table, people could only converse with those sitting nearby. To talk to anyone further away, they had to raise their voices.

After the hearty meal, everyone headed out, planning to settle the bill and then go to a karaoke place to continue the fun.

"The total comes to 183,200 yuan. Who would like to settle the bill?" the waiter asked.

Xie Yuan suddenly spoke up: "Brother Ci, you wore the school uniform every day for three years in high school, and your shoes only cost a hundred or two yuan. We all thought your family wasn't well off!"

"Who knew you were actually Nan Yin's son? Why don't you treat us to this meal? What do you say?"

Feng Qingci wasn't close with Xie Yuan, so he looked towards the class president standing next to him.

"Class president, you invited me to this gathering, but you never mentioned anything about me treating everyone?"

Xie Yuan pushed the class president aside.

"This small amount is nothing but pocket change for Brother Ci, right? Isn't our two years of high school friendship worth at least this much?"

Before Feng Qingci could respond, Feng Qingyi stepped forward.

"We'll pay what we owe, but don't think you can take a single extra cent from us."

"There are 20 people here today. The total bill is 183,200 yuan, which comes to 9,160 yuan per person. We'll only pay our share of 18,320 yuan."

She hadn't realized before that there were such disgusting people in their class.

If he had only insulted her, she might not have reacted so impulsively.

Jiang Xiaoxiao linked arms with Feng Qingyi, "Qingyi, did you get angry because he talked about me? I really don't mind."

"Our friendship of so many years won't be shaken by a few words from him."

Jiang Xiaoxiao might seem carefree, but she was actually quite sensitive.

Feng Qingyi treasured their friendship and knew that Jiang Xiaoxiao wouldn't stop associating with her because of someone else's comments.

But phrases like "begging for scraps" really irritated her. She didn't regret her actions.

"I know. I just couldn't stand the sight of him. If you hadn't stopped me, I would have beaten him to a pulp."

Jiang Xiaoxiao laughed, "Alright, alright, don't be angry anymore. Don't waste time on him. I want to get a haircut, will you come with me?"

"Sure. Feng Qingci, you head home. Xiaoxiao and I are going."

Jiang Xiaoxiao touched Feng Qingyi's long hair, "Do you want to change your hairstyle too, or maybe dye it a different color?"

"No thanks, I'll just wait for you."

The two arrived at the hair salon, and Jiang Xiaoxiao was taken to have her hair washed. Meanwhile, Feng Qingyi scrolled through her social media feed.

She came across a video someone had posted - Xie Yuan couldn't pay the bill and had tried borrowing money from everyone, but no one would lend to him. He was still stuck at the restaurant.

After watching the video, Feng Qingyi noticed that Qin Yuchuan had sent her a message.

He was finally messaging her at a normal hour - that was quite rare.

[Yu Chuan: Qingqing, are you busy?]

[Qing Yi: No, I'm out with my friend while she gets a haircut.]

[Yu Chuan: I see. Have you had dinner yet?]

[Qing Yi: Yes, I just had a gathering and meal with some classmates.]

[Yu Chuan: Are you feeling down?]

[Qing Yi: No.]

Could he really sense her mood from afar? Was he that impressive?

[Yu Chuan: You only reply with "yes" when you're in a bad mood or reluctant about something.]
