Chapter 368 The two-person world is ruined again.
Shan Shan's gaze lingered on their clasped hands for a moment. "I understand. Don't worry, I will never tell anyone. This is good. You two are childhood sweethearts and know each other well. It's so much better than starting over with strangers. I sincerely wish you all the best."
Xiaoting's cheeks flushed slightly, her eyes filled with gratitude. "Sister Shanshan, what brings you here? Aren't you busy today?"
"My class will be having a lesson in this lecture hall soon, so I came early to help the teacher set up the teaching materials."
As Shanshan spoke, she neatly arranged her lesson plan and teaching aids on the podium.
Lin Dongzhe tugged at Xiaoting's clothes. "Sister Shanshan, you go ahead with your work, Xiaoting and I will go out for a walk."
After saying that, he waved to Shan Shan, and the two walked out of the lecture hall.
"Xiaoting, tomorrow is the National Day holiday, let's go to the cinema to see a movie!"
Lin Dongzhe held Xiaoting's hand tightly.
Xiaoting stopped, looking troubled. "Pengfei called last night and said he wanted to hang out with us."
Lin Dongzhe immediately pouted, looking aggrieved. "Tu Nan finally had a dorm dinner during the National Day holiday and isn't coming. I was thinking we could finally have some time alone, but now Pengfei is coming again."
“It’s not easy for Pengfei to come all this way, and his school is so far away. After lunch, I’ll go to the movie theater with you, okay?” Xiaoting gently shook Lin Dongzhe’s arm.
Lin Dongzhe's eyes lit up immediately. "That's a deal!"
"we have a deal!"
Xiaoting smiled and nodded. The two walked side by side toward the school gate, intending to try the newly opened Northeastern Chinese restaurant near the school.
Just as they were about to reach the school gate, two familiar figures were waving at them.
When it comes to changing his expression quickly, Lin Dongzhe is unparalleled; his wide grin instantly froze.
"Brother? Pengfei? Wasn't he supposed to come tomorrow? Why is he here today..."
Xiaoting quickly tugged at Lin Dongzhe's sleeve, and the two of them awkwardly went to greet him.
Tu Nan was carrying a plastic bag containing two lunchboxes.
"Xiaoting, Dongzhe, are you surprised? Are you not?
My brother brought Pengfei along, and he brought food too. The braised dishes at our school cafeteria are pretty good; I bought two boxes, one for you and one for Xiaoting.”
Pengfei, carrying a schoolbag and two cans of food, walked up to them with a bright smile. "Xiaoting, I brought you canned food and apples. Dongzhe, judging from your expression, aren't you happy to see us?"
Lin Dongzhe looked at them, feigning composure. "Welcome? I never said you weren't welcome. Brother, Xiaoting said you had a dinner party tomorrow, so you weren't coming, right? Pengfei, didn't you also say you'd come tomorrow?"
Tu Nan smiled and handed the plastic bag to Dong Zhe, then put his arm around Xiao Ting and Peng Fei's shoulders.
“Let’s go, we’ll talk on the way. The party is canceled. Our dorm leader has to go home to take care of her lover, and Dazhi went on a blind date. It just so happens that your sister Wanshu is also having a party tomorrow, and I had nothing to do, so I asked Pengfei to come over today.”
"This is the first time Xiaoting and Dongzhe have spent the holiday away from home, so as their older brother, I definitely had to come and see you."
Lin Dongzhe followed behind with a long face, like a defeated rooster, clutching the plastic bag tightly in his hand, secretly lamenting: Why is my life so miserable? Our time together as a couple is ruined again!
"Brother, Xiaoting and I haven't eaten yet."
Tu Nan waved his hand, displaying the demeanor of a big brother. "It's my treat! Tell me, what do you want to eat? Pengfei, is there anything you'd like to eat? There are Northeastern Chinese food, Sichuan food, and noodle shops near the school."
After some discussion, the group finally chose the Northeastern restaurant.
As soon as I entered the restaurant, I found a seat and sat down.
Tu Nan and Peng Fei watched as Lin Dongzhe busied himself, first wiping the table for Xiao Ting, then skillfully opening a soda bottle, and finally taking out a handkerchief to wipe the bottle opening.
"Xiaoting, the handkerchief is clean. I washed it yesterday. You can drink it without worry."
Lin Dongzhe's eyes were gentle as he handed the soda to Xiaoting.
Tu Nan and Peng Fei exchanged a helpless glance. These two were completely oblivious to their surroundings and didn't treat them like human beings at all!
Tu Nan deliberately cleared his throat and asked with a stern face.
"Xiaoting, I just want to ask, what do you see in Dongzhe? Do you two have anything in common? He used to love watching those pornographic videos..."
He swallowed the rest of his words. "Street literature, obsessed with videotapes, never washes his hands after using the toilet, lying on the ground in the dead of winter with his underwear showing!"
"Brother, I've been raised by Xiaoting since I was little, and now I'm cute and clean. If you don't believe me, smell it; it smells like soap."
As Lin Dongzhe spoke, he stretched his hand out to Tu Nan.
"Get out of here!" Tu Nan slapped Lin Dongzhe's hand away in disgust.
Xiaoting took the soda bottle and looked at Tunan with a determined gaze. "Brother, I also like reading novels. We both love literature and have a lot in common."
Lin Dongzhe smiled ingratiatingly at his two brothers-in-law. "Brother, Pengfei, I will always be good to Xiaoting, just like when we were little, and that will never change."
Pengfei pursed his lips, knowing in his heart that Xiaoting and Dongzhe were two people who couldn't be persuaded even by ten oxen.
As long as Dongzhe doesn't hurt Xiaoting, he decided to let things take their course and let go.
As for his uncle and aunt, since Xiaoting and Dongzhe haven't told their parents yet, he won't bring it up.
This time, he simply missed them and came to visit.
“How come you’re not the same as when you were kids? You two have both changed. You’re not as innocent anymore, Lin Dongzhe and Zhuang Xiaoting.”
Xiaoting and Lin Dongzhe exchanged a glance and couldn't help but laugh, then lowered their heads shyly.
Soon, the dishes were served by the owner.
Sweet and sour pork, shredded pork with sweet bean sauce, stir-fried eggplant, potatoes, green peppers, and green peppers, stir-fried garlic sprouts, four bowls of rice, plus braised dishes that Tu Nan brought from the school cafeteria—a very sumptuous meal.
The proprietress, a warm and cheerful woman from Northeast China, introduced the dish in a loud voice, "Students, this shredded pork with sweet bean sauce is best eaten wrapped in dried tofu with scallions—it's incredibly delicious!"
"Thank you, boss lady!"
At the dinner table, Lin Dongzhe picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork and put it in Xiaoting's bowl, his eyes full of affection. "Xiaoting, this pork is sweet and sour, it's quite delicious, you should try it."
Seeing this, Tu Nan quickly rolled up a piece of dried bean curd skin, added shredded meat and a few scallions, and handed it to Peng Fei.
"Pengfei, I rolled this for you, eat it quickly."
Without saying a word, Pengfei opened his mouth wide and took a bite, his cheeks puffing out, and he didn't forget to pat Tu Nan on the shoulder.
"Brother, I understand you." The two of them looked perfectly in sync, like two brothers in the same boat.
Lin Dongzhe smiled and shook his head, then rolled up another portion of shredded pork with sweet bean sauce for Xiaoting.
Xiaoting's cheeks flushed slightly, and she gently pushed his hand away, but seeing Lin Dongzhe's persistently raised hand and expectant eyes, she still opened her mouth slightly.
Lin Dongzhe leaned forward, his voice low. "Brother, Pengfei, Xiaoting, I discovered a business opportunity when I went out last week."
