Xia Mengying put down her chopsticks long ago. She had been eating very little recently, and now she felt full after just a few bites.
"you guess?"
Xia Mengying looked at the yellow reusable bag that Liang Yufei rested with her chin. The bracelets on it were randomly tangled together and tied into knots, making it impossible to see what was inside.
"Is this a specialty from your side?"
Liang Yufei nodded and shook her head.
"Can't guess." What she is least good at is this kind of guessing game.
"Dang-dang-dang."
Liang Yufei put her hand into the bag, and when she stretched it out, she was holding a sealed jar. Xia Mengying took a closer look and saw that it was chili sauce, peanuts and minced meat. She was stunned and sat up straight to look at it.
Liang Yufei.
"Didn't you say it's delicious? I asked my mother to make more this time when I went back. You don't eat soybeans, so I replaced it with your favorite peanuts. I fried the chili myself, which was very fragrant. The beef was specially made by my father.
I drove back to my hometown to buy it. It’s made exclusively by Liang’s mother. It’s authentic Liang’s flavor. It’s absolutely natural and pollution-free. You can’t buy it with more money outside. It’s your twentieth birthday gift.”
Xia Mengying looked at Liang Yufei holding beef chili sauce and listened to her praise that was comparable to an advertisement. Something seemed to be rolling in her heart, and her nose felt sour and uncomfortable.
Seeing that Xia Mengying didn't respond, Liang Yufei touched her nose in embarrassment, "It seems a bit too shabby."
She smiled awkwardly, "I was thinking about what gift to prepare for you before the summer vacation. I racked my brains and suffered heavy damage to my brain cells. I wanted to give you a famous watch, a sports car like other people, but I couldn't afford it, maybe electronic products.
, you don’t lack any new style. When I came home, I saw my mother making chili sauce. Remembering that you said it was delicious, I asked her to make more, thinking you would like it."
"What does it mean to think? I always like it, okay? Nowadays, supermarkets are increasingly cutting corners when selling things. The same thing has completely lost the taste of before. Liang Yufei, you should let your mother open a workshop, maybe you can surpass it."
Lao Ganma."
The food in the school cafeteria is not bad, but people here in S City like to eat sweet things. The chef of the school cafeteria is from S City. No matter what dishes are cooked, they can taste sweet. Many people from other provinces do not eat them at all.
Not used to it, in Liang Yufei’s words, if you don’t prepare some Laoganma tofu, you won’t be able to live at all.
Xia Mengying took the thing from Liang Yufei's hand, opened the jar, smelled it, and said to her with a smile. She picked up the chopsticks, tasted it, looked at Liang Yufei who was looking at her expectantly, and laughed out loud, "
It’s delicious.”
"As long as you like it." Liang Yufei breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on her face stretched, "If you finish eating, I will ask my mother to make it again and mail it to you."
Xia Mengying looked at Liang Yufei who was smiling. She felt as if she saw herself when she faced Xia Xiaoxue before. Because she was worried that she would feel disconnected when she was with him, she would do many things beforehand.
Considering her feelings, that kind of concern is really sincere without asking for anything in return.
"Liang Yufei, why are you so nice to me? I treat you--"
Xia Mengying closed the lid tightly, looked at Liang Yufei and asked.
Although she was not instigated by Xia Xiaoxue and maintained normal contact with Liang Yufei as friends, she knew very well what she thought of Liang Yufei. She regarded her as a friend, but she did not say anything because there was still a cold war about Xia Xiaoxue.
Several times, Liang Yufei took the initiative to reconcile with her. Liang Yufei told her no less than three times about Xia Xiaoxue and Qi Zhiming, but she never listened. If it were her, she would definitely not use it again.
Smiley continues to be friends with such stubborn people.
Emotionally, she has always been a passive person, whether in friendship or love.
"This is fate. When I entered college, apart from the seniors who went to the airport to greet the new students, you were the first friend to talk to me, and you were also the ones who enthusiastically carried my suitcase."
While Liang Yufei was reporting at the university, Lei's father happened to take on a big business and couldn't leave. Lei's mother didn't dare to fly, so she came to the school to report alone. At that time, she and Xia Mengying entered the Academic Affairs Office together, and the two
People came out one after another. Xia Mengying saw that she had a lot of luggage and it was difficult to carry it alone, so she took the initiative to help her move the luggage to the dormitory. After that, the two became classmates in the same class.
"Is it just because of this?" Xia Mengying was surprised. It was just a simple effort, and most people would help. She didn't expect that Liang Yufei would actually keep that incident in her heart.
Liang Yufei shook her head, "Of course not. When I was a freshman, I wasn't as clingy as I am now and wanted to be friends with you."
Xia Mengying thought about it, and it seemed like this. Not long after the freshman year, Liang Yufei asked her not to get so close to Xia Xiaoxue, and also said bad things about her. She angrily gave her a few words at that time, and then Liang Yufei
He rarely interacted with her, but in the second semester of his sophomore year, she suddenly became warm to her again. Xia Xiaoxue always said that she had bad intentions and ulterior motives.
"Do you still remember? In the first semester of my sophomore year, the school organized an activity with the theme of 'feeling life' in the suburbs south of the city."
Xia Mengying nodded. Of course she remembered it, and she was deeply impressed. Because it was stipulated that she could not drive by herself or have her family driver deliver the goods. Her mother did not agree at the time, and it took a lot of effort to convince her.
"The students in our class got on the bus at the departure station. When we arrived at Weifeng Road, a group of migrant workers suddenly came up. They were dressed in rags and had a strange smell on their bodies. At that time, most of the girls in the class
They all frowned and looked disgusted. Xia Xiaoxue sat at the door, covered her mouth and nose and said, "It smells so bad, I want to vomit." Then she opened the window and made several nauseating movements. "You were serious at that time."
He looked at her and said, Xia Xiaoxue, don't be like this. It's not good. It's too disrespectful. Then she gave her position to an older migrant worker. At that time, she suddenly fell in love with you and wanted to make friends with you.
, after observing you for a while, I want to become friends with you even more."
"Does this matter have anything to do with you being so nice to me?" Xia Mengying still felt a little confused. In her opinion, these were two completely unrelated things.
"My father used to be a migrant worker, and later he found a group of people to contract the project himself. I used to go to my father's construction site when I was at home during the holidays. Those construction workers were really pitiful. They did the most tiring work every day but were paid no wages.
With a low salary, I was so tired every day that I wanted to sleep as soon as I got home. I wanted to find a good place to live but couldn’t bear the money. The food I ate was worse than the school cafeteria. I watched my family become rich little by little, from bicycles to motorcycles.
, then changed to a car and bought a house. Although it is not a big deal in S City, we are already well-off there. A large part of this is the credit of those people. There are two things I dislike most about S City.
, First, it’s the food here, I really don’t know why those people like these sweet and greasy things, second, it’s the self-righteousness of people who think they are city dwellers, and I guess there will be three soon, the professional discrimination against outsiders.”
Xia Mengying smiled and was noncommittal. This was indeed the case in S City. Even many large companies would give priority to locals when recruiting.
"Have you heard that you have similar tastes? Ever since that incident, I've found everything you do to be quite pleasing to my eye. As we get along gradually, I think you're a very nice person, so I eat boiled fish and oiled bread."
Let's talk about this matter. Although you also laughed, your original intention was definitely different from Xia Xiaoxue's. And when I go out to eat with you later, you will give me some kind reminders in advance. You are kind and helpful, and there is no
I like the eldest lady’s temperament.”
Although this was not the first time she heard others praise her, at this time, the feeling of being encouraged made her feel a little excited.
"I was unhappy when you defended Xia Xiaoxue before. But then I thought that you regarded Xia Xiaoxue as your best friend. You would definitely not be happy if I said bad things about her. If Xia Xiaoxue was in trouble, you would definitely spare no effort to help instead of just standing by and watching. If
I can also become a good friend in your mind, and you will treat me sincerely and attentively. I have always wanted to find a friend like this. Originally, I wanted to learn to tolerate Xia Xiaoxue from your perspective.
However, that woman is so annoying that it cannot be eliminated with hard work. I have exposed the matter between Qi Zhiming and Xia Xiaoxue several times. I really want you to see it with your own eyes, but after thinking about it, I still haven’t done it. Really
I don’t know what’s in Xia Xiaoxue’s head. Her best friend’s boyfriend is also snatching her away. Are men so important? Giving up friendship for love is simply stupid.”
Liang Yufei spoke in a hearty and sincere voice, "I have tried to persuade Xia Xiaoxue several times, but she has always been stubborn, so I have already guessed that you two will fall out. Sometimes when you accuse me, I still feel that you don't know what to do.
People's hearts, it's best to give you a hard fall. I thought you were quite stupid at first, and I didn't expect to become such a good friend with you. I don't know why I became so persistent about this matter later."
Xia Mengying smiled. The reason why her relationship with Xia Xiaoxue had become so tense was not just that she was dating Qi Zhiming without telling her. Xia Mengying didn't explain that much, and she still didn't quite understand why Liang Yufei treated her.
So good, but her heart felt warm because of having such a friend. This feeling of being cherished and cared about was really good.
Although she no longer has two friends, Qi Zhiming and Xia Xiaoxue, she does have Ning Ziqian and Liang Yufei. She exchanged two hypocritical people for two friends who are sincere to her. No matter how you calculate it, she has made a profit.
.
Liang Yufei sat on the chair and laughed and nodded, "The Emperor is worthy of his hard work."
After the two of them finished eating, when Xia Mengying paid the bill, Liang Yufei insisted on paying, saying that it was to celebrate that her aggrieved concubine was finally straightened out. Xia Mengying drove and the two of them went to a shopping mall in the center of the city.
, not long after we went shopping, Qi Zhiming’s call came in.
[Author's digression]: ps: This is Yangyang's real experience. When I went to Yunnan with my friends last year, it happened to be morning when I arrived at Kunming Railway Station. I had to take a bus from the railway station to the bus station. At that time, a group of migrant workers came up and went with me.
There were six people. Two of them kept complaining about the bad smell and covering their noses. One of them kept retching at the window. Another friend said, "Don't do this. This is not good." At that time, I had the same idea as Liang Yufei.
