Yang Dashuai just left the small classroom with his dictionary and lesson plans, when his mobile phone rang. Yang Dashuai glanced at the number on the screen, and simply closed the door of the classroom tightly. He sat in a chair and answered the phone.
“Dashuai, are you free tonight, want to come out for a drink?”
Lin Yue’s voice came from the phone. Yang Dashuai glanced at the watch on his wrist and chuckled: “It’s already 9 o’clock. I plan to go back to my parents’ house tonight. I’ve already passed a word.”
“Come on, Li Siyu is back, and also Wang Kun. We have grown up and haven’t seen each other for a long time. If you said it to Aunt, I’m sure she will be willing. And didn’t she want Li Siyu to be her daughter-in-law before? Aunt even keet asking you to send delicious food to Siyu’s house every day.”
Lin Yue chuckled and laughed, Yang Dashuai laughed and cursed: “Don’t talk nonsense. This is disrespectful to the other party. Well, where are we going? Don’t look for a drinking place with distracting light and is noisy. Let’s just find a restaurant that we could eat and chat. I am hungry after class.”
“You are so boring. You still live a strict life in the ’20s.” Lin Yue laughed at him, then said, “But Li Siyu also meant the same thing. Let’s go eat Japanese food. But not to the hot pot or barbecue restaurant to avoid smoking Li Siyu’s clothes.”
Yang Dashuai smiled: “You decide, I have no objection.”
On the mobile phone, Lin Yue, Li Siyu, and Wang Kun discussed for a while, then chose a Japanese food buffet in a shopping mall and told Yang Dashuai the address.
After Yang Dashuai hung up the phone, he sent a WeChat message to his mother, threw the mobile phone to the co-pilot, and drove to the Japanese food restaurant that Lin Yue mentioned.
Perhaps because of the holiday tomorrow, there were so many people and cars on the road. The mall that can be reached in 20 minutes took him half an hour before reaching the underground parking lot.
As soon as Yang Dashuai parked the car, he saw another car galloping over and parked next to him. Lin Yue and Wang Kun took a girl out of the car and greeted Yang Dashuai with a smile: “Dashuai, look who came back.”
Yang Dashuai stretched out his hand to Li Siyu and smiled: “You have been away for a long time. It’s been 10 years or so since you moved out. Did you come back to Qi City this time on a business trip or just to visit friends?”
Li Siyu shook her hand and smiled sweetly: “Id I said I came back to find you, will you believe it?”
Lin Yue and Wang Kun laughed loudly when they heard this. Yang Dashuai also smiled and said: “It’s a pleasure.”
The four of them lived in the same unit when they were young. When they graduated from elementary school, Li Siyu and her family moved out of Qi City. Then, they settled in a city in the south. It was the first time she came back in so many years. Yang Dashuai didn’t know how she got in touch with Lin Yue and Wang Kun.
After the four people entered the Japanese food buffet restaurant, they chose a corner in the inner side, so that they will not disturb others even if they chat or laugh out loud. Several people put their own put one after another. The four of them ate and drank while talking about their childhood. At first, the atmosphere was a bit awkward. But after drinking a few bottles of wine, they seemed to forget the years of estrangement, and they laughed a bit louder.
“Wang Kun is very wicked before. One time, he came back late in school, the sky was already dark, he hid on the side of the building. When Siyu passed by, he scared her by using his shadow cast on the wall.” Lin Yue spat out while holding up the wine glass: “Later, I don’t know where Dashuai picked up a basket, but he used it to beat Wang Kun. Wang Kun didn’t dare do it again anymore.”
Wang Kun laughed: “This handsome guy always cherished his friends like a treasure since he was young. But when it comes to Siyu, he can no longer see his friends.”
Lin Yue scolded with a smile; “Look at you, if I have such a good-looking neighbor next door, I will also not pay attention to you!”
Wang Kun and Lin Yue kept exchanging words. They kept joking about Yang Dashuai and Li Siyu. Yang Dashuai remembered that Li Siyu has a thin face since she was a child. He was afraid that she couldn’t take all these jokes. He smiled and changed the topic, then looked at her face. Li Siyu didn’t seem to care about it. There was a smile on her face.
