Su Mingyu was stunned for a moment, and then nodded blankly. Can someone who can afford to drive such an expensive car be poor?
Obviously not!
A slightly self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of Li Jie's mouth and he said lightly.
"Indeed, it's true to say that my family has money. The Bai Group knows about it. It belongs to my adoptive father, but the money has nothing to do with me. You have seen what my cheap brother looks like. My surname is Shi
, my surname is not Bai, so the Bai family’s money is the Bai family’s money, and my money is my money. The fact that the Bai family is rich does not mean that I am rich.
However, it is more interesting for people to live in this world and spend the money they earn. If you are born at the end, wouldn’t you lose the joy of struggle?
What do you think?"
Su Mingyu agrees with these words. It is always better to rely on yourself than to rely on others. Her family did not allow her to study at Tsinghua University. At that time, she had no income and there was really no way. But it will be different when she goes to the United States. She has hands and feet and can rely on herself.
With your hard work, you can one day realize your dream of studying in the United States.
"Well, it does feel different to spend your own money!"
Li Jie smiled slightly and said nothing more, pointing at the food on the table.
"If you don't eat, the food will get cold. Come, try my handiwork."
Su Mingyu nodded slightly. She originally didn't have much hope for Li Jie's cooking skills. After all, there were not many boys who could cook, and even fewer who cooked delicious food. But when she saw Li Jie serving
When the dishes arrived, they were all perfect in color, flavor and flavor, and I couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation in my heart.
Thick oily red sauce can not only be used to describe local cuisine in Shanghai, but also Subang cuisine. The bowl of red braised pork on the table is an authentic Su style cooking.
Su Mingyu can feel its elasticity when she pinches it with chopsticks. She bites into the rice. It is soft and elastic, fat but not greasy, with a hint of sweetness. It is soft and melts in the mouth. A rich meaty aroma instantly explodes in the air.
Within the mouth.
'I didn't expect the food he cooked to be so delicious. This braised pork is really delicious.'
Su Mingyu ate a large piece of braised pork with rice in two or two mouthfuls. She couldn't help but smile, and when she was about to pick up the second piece, she suddenly noticed Li Jie staring at her.
"How's it going? Does it suit your taste?"
Su Mingyu's cheeks were slightly hot, and her eyes were a little evasive. She ate a large piece of meat in two or three bites, still under the gaze of the other person. Moreover, this was her first time eating with a 'strange' man, and she couldn't help but feel a little shy.
.
'No wonder the food is so delicious.'
Su Mingyu usually doesn't have high requirements for food, as long as it can fill her stomach. This is the first time she has eaten such delicious food, and she just couldn't help herself.
“It’s delicious. This is the best braised pork I’ve ever eaten.”
Li Jie nodded with satisfaction. It's always nice to be praised by others for the things you make. He didn't say anything like, 'If you want to eat, I'll make it for you every day.'
It's fine for ordinary little girls, but it may not work for Su Mingyu, and it may even scare her.
"As long as you are satisfied, eat more if you like it. You can also try other dishes, otherwise it will be wasted."
Su Mingyu nodded, and Li Jie did not discuss the previous topic at the dinner table. Some things would be unsightly if they were talked about too much, so just stop talking.
Li Jie didn't try to dig into Su Mingyu's privacy. He knew everything about Su Mingyu, but he still had to pretend to know nothing. This was not difficult for Li Jie, but even if he didn't mention these sensitive things
Topic, Li Jie will not let the atmosphere become cold.
Su Mingyu felt very happy after eating this meal, not only because of the delicious food on the table, but also because in Li Jie, she saw the shadow of a fellow person.
Although the family circumstances of the two people are indeed very different, the nature of their environments is not much different.
'It's not easy to grow up in that kind of family environment and become such a warm and excellent person.'
After dinner, Su Mingyu rushed to wash the dishes. Li Jie did not refuse. Su Mingyu often did housework at home. Washing the dishes was a common occurrence for her. As long as she was at home, she would basically do the dishes.
Yes, there is no way to escape.
"Shi Tiandong, tonight is not my treat. Next time, when the scholarship comes, I will treat you again!"
Li Jie said with a smile. Su Mingyu insisted on paying when she was buying vegetables at the vegetable market. Li Jie knew that she had a strong temper, so he didn't force her.
After saying this, Su Mingyu was about to leave. Li Jie saw this and said.
"It's so late, how about I see you off?"
Su Mingyu shook her head, and Li Jie smiled lightly and said softly: "Okay, then be careful on the road."
On the way back to the dormitory, Su Mingyu always had a smile on her lips. The reason why she just said she wanted to treat Li Jie to another meal was not because she had any thoughts about Li Jie, but because she simply thought that she could not be counted this time.
When treating guests, in addition to providing the ingredients himself, the venue and craftsmanship were also provided by Li Jie. Even for the sake of such delicious food, it cannot be regarded as treating guests himself.
In fact, in Su Mingyu's subconscious mind, it would be good to have such a "comrade" to work hard with, work hard every day, and get closer. Even Su Mingyu herself did not realize this.
"Mingyu, why did you come back so late today?"
When Su Mingyu heard this, she panicked subconsciously and explained to Zhang Ke: "Oh, something happened during my part-time job today, which delayed me for a while."
Zhang Ke just asked casually, because Su Mingyu's work and rest schedule is very regular, and she will usually come back around seven o'clock on Sundays. Today was an accident. She didn't come back until almost nine o'clock. She didn't think about anything else, so she
He nodded, and then turned his attention back to the computer screen. A TV series that Su Mingyu had not seen was playing on the screen. The subtitles were in Korean. Zhang Ke had recently become obsessed with Korean dramas.
But all this has nothing to do with Su Mingyu. She is either busy studying or working part-time all day long. Having dinner with Li Jie today is a rare luxury.
The subconscious answer just now made Su Mingyu feel a little strange. This was not her usual style. Besides, there was nothing shameful about having a meal between two people. Why would she 'lie'? Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the alarm clock on the table.
9:05!
Normally, she had been studying for more than an hour at this time. She had 'wasted' so much time today. Normally, Su Mingyu would definitely feel guilty. However, today she didn't feel anything. She sat on the chair and thought blankly.
After a while, Su Mingyu never figured it out, and the time came to 9:30 unknowingly.
