After a lively meal, several people came out of the restaurant.
"Would you like to sing?" Zhao Kai asked.
Brother Zhou said: "Farewell, the exam is coming soon, Xiao Ai and Lin Zhan have to go back to prepare for the exam, let's go back."
Sun Meijia said loudly: "They are busy with the assessment and we don't need it, so let's go."
"Hey, yes, that's what Meijia said." Zhao Kai agreed.
Yu Xiaoai asked Lin Zhan in a low voice: "Do you want to sing? I don't like it."
Lin Zhan nodded slightly and said to them: "Then you have fun, Xiao Ai and I won't go."
Qian Duoduo looked at the two of them and asked Xiao Ai: "You are not far behind in studying, are you really not going?"
Yu Xiaoai smiled and said: "I'm not going, you can go."
Several people separated at the entrance of the hotel.
It was not cold tonight and the wind was not strong. Lin Zhan suggested taking a walk to eat. Yu Xiaoai readily agreed.
"Are you nervous about the assessment tomorrow?" she asked.
Lin Zhan smiled nonchalantly and said, "It's okay."
"Yes, you have participated in so many competitions, this is not worth mentioning at all."
Lin Zhan said: "Don't be nervous tomorrow, just perform at your normal level and you'll be fine."
"Yes, I will."
The two walked in silence for a while, and he suddenly asked: "What are your plans for November? Are you going out to play?"
Yu Xiaoai smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't think about it. I've just been focusing on studying for a while now and didn't think about anything else."
"Now think about it, is there any place you want to go to play? You can go out on November 1st."
"What do you mean? It's like you want to take me to play." She said jokingly.
Lin Zhan said "hmm" seriously, "I have a friend who runs a travel agency. They are holding an event during the National Day holiday and they have two free places. You can fly as you like, so I wanted to ask if you have time."
"This is a piece of cake in the sky!" Yu Xiaoai said in surprise.
"If you don't have any plans for November, why don't we pick a country and fly there for a few days?" Lin Zhan asked with a slightly excited tone.
"Ah?" Yu Xiaoai was stunned. Her plan on November was to return to Ningcheng, get together with Qiqi and the others, and chat with Guo Jinchen. She had no other plans.
If she travels with him, she won't be able to see Qiqi and Jinchen. Besides, her relationship with Lin Zhan is not particularly good yet, so this is a big favor and she doesn't want to owe it.
"I don't think I can go." Yu Xiaoai refused him and said, "On November, a best friend of mine will come back. We haven't seen each other for a long time."
"That's it..." Lin Zhan was obviously a little disappointed, but it was fleeting and he said, "It's okay. Getting together with my best friends is the most important thing. There will be opportunities for travel in the future."
Yu Xiaoai said a little embarrassedly: "Look, you came to ask me when such a good thing happened, thank you."
"If you are really embarrassed, then invite me to drink coffee." Lin Zhan pointed to the coffee shop in front of him.
"No problem, let's walk!" Yu Xiaoai said, walking forward quickly.
Lin Zhan smiled helplessly from behind and shook his head. He thought of such a good excuse, but he didn't succeed. Alas!
In a coffee shop, they each ordered a cup of coffee and sat by the window.
Yu Xiaoai took a sip of coffee and said "Wow" in surprise and appreciation, "The taste of this coffee is very similar to the taste of a coffee shop that Guo Jinchen took me to. It's the taste of coffee that I particularly like."
She quickly looked up and looked around, looking for the name of the store.
"Ah! It's really Beidao Coffee! It turns out there is a store in Haicheng too." Yu Xiaoai said overjoyed.
Lin Zhan stirred the coffee and said, "Beidao is a chain store that can be found all over the country."
"Oh? I'm ignorant. I don't know, but I think it tastes good." Yu Xiaoai said with a smile.
Lin Zhan asked: "Is the Guo Jinchen you mentioned just now the friend who came to see you last time?"
"Well, it's him."
I just drank the coffee I liked, and I was so excited that I said Guo Jinchen's name.
"Then your relationship is really good. Are you childhood sweethearts?"
"No, he is my best friend's husband's buddy. We all hang out together and we got to know each other."
Lin Zhan said "Oh", thinking of Guo Jinchen's appearance, and said nothing more.
"Lin Zhan, are you going to travel with friends again on November? Or are you not going anywhere and staying at home with your parents?" Yu Xiaoai asked.
"I don't have many friends, and they are all very busy, and they don't necessarily have time during the holidays. If you don't have time, I won't go. My parents are not in Haicheng, so I spend the holidays alone."
"Really? Wouldn't it be too lonely to celebrate the festival alone? Where are the relatives? In a few days, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival." Yu Xiaoai asked sympathetically.
Lin Zhan said: "My relatives are not in Haicheng either. I have become accustomed to it over the years, and celebrating festivals is not that important to me."
Yu Xiaoai nodded silently. From the perspective of a friend, she felt that it was quite pitiful to have no relatives around during the festival.
She comforted him and said: "Don't be sad. If you have a chance in the future, you can come to my house during the holidays so that you won't be so lonely!"
"Thank you for your words. Xiao Ai, you are such a kind girl." Lin Zhan looked at her with stars in his eyes.
The two drank coffee and took the subway back to the company dormitory.
Before parting, Lin Zhan cheered her on and said: "Come on for the test tomorrow! You will definitely pass it!"
"Same for you!" Yu Xiaoai made a fist gesture.
In the next two days, all students went through a rigorous professional knowledge assessment. Very few remained. Of course, this included Lin Zhan and Xiao Ai.
After the assessment, those who didn't stay left, and those who stayed were assigned dormitories again and came back after the National Day holiday.
This afternoon, the three people in Yu Xiaoai's dormitory were packing their luggage.
Qian Duoduo said reluctantly: "Xiao Ai, I don't know when we will see each other again after we are separated this time. I will keep in touch via WeChat in the future."
"Okay!" She responded happily, "Duoduo, actually I think you should learn more things. You can't be the front desk all your life, right?"
"Xiao Ai, I know you mean well, but I'm not a student." Qian Duoduo scratched his head, then looked at Sun Meijia and asked, "Are you really going to Ningcheng?"
"Yes, I have bought all the high-speed rail tickets." Sun Meijia said proudly, and looked up from the pile of clothes at Yu Xiaoai, and said to her: "Xiaoai, we will be in the same city in the future, you want more
Take care of me."
"I can't take care of myself, so how can I take care of you." Yu Xiaoai said lightly: "You should be self-reliant."
Sun Meijia rolled his eyes at her back, and said in a long voice angrily: "Okay - you are a busy person, so you don't dare to bother me."
Yu Xiaoai didn't refute, put on her bag, pulled up the packed suitcase, and said to the two of them: "I've packed it up and will go to the new dormitory first. Take care and see you again."
"Goodbye, Xiao Ai." Qian Duoduo walked her out of the door and hugged her.
