Su Meimei was taken aback. "What do you mean? You told my mom yourself." Since the two families had interactions, the Jiang family came to the Su family's place as guests today. Liu Rulan told the two of them to go out for a meal. If the two kids could take their relationship further, both families would be happy to see that.
"I'd like to change the place... I don't like French cuisine." Jiang Ling frowned and explained.
"Why? We're already here. I insist on eating here!" Su Meimei said willfully, then dragged Jiang Ling forcefully towards the private room.
Jiang Ling didn't dare to struggle too much for fear of attracting Su Rou's attention at that table. But he seemed to have overlooked Su Meimei's loud voice. When Su Rou heard Su Meimei's voice, she turned her head and looked towards the door. "Sister Meimei."
Su Meimei looked in the direction of the voice. "Su Rou, Brother Yuze? You're here too?" She was quite surprised. She didn't expect Brother Yuze to come to a couple's restaurant for a meal, and with Su Rou.
Su Rou put her index finger in front of her lips. "Shh—" She lowered her voice. "I wanted to try the food here, so Brother Yuze and I pretended to be a couple. There's a discount."
Su Meimei let out an "oh". "Then enjoy your meal. I'm here with Jiang Ling."
Only then did Su Rou notice Jiang Ling. At this moment, his usually gentle and handsome face showed a rare trace of anger. "Hi."
"Yeah." Jiang Ling didn't really want to greet her. Having a meal with Su Meimei in a couple's restaurant would surely make her misunderstand.
"Then go and enjoy your meal. The food here is really good."
"Okay." Su Meimei pulled Jiang Ling's hand. "I'll go over there first, Brother Yuze."
Su Yuze just nodded slightly as a response. Jiang Ling was full of reluctance, but there was nothing he could do since they had already been seen by Su Rou. Really... he envied Su Yuze so much. He could have a meal with Su Rou as her boyfriend.
Su Rou watched their backs for a while. "Are they in a relationship?"
"Coming to a couple's restaurant, what do you think?" Su Yuze wished Jiang Ling would just get together with Su Meimei. Then Jiang Ling wouldn't have any thoughts about Su Rou.
"You're right... not everyone is like us, pretending..." Just then, a waiter walked by. Su Rou immediately stopped talking. She picked up a piece of steak she had cut and held it to Su Yuze's lips. "Oppa, ah~"
The waiter's face changed slightly. Ah, so sweet!! It was simply a torture for single people!
Su Yuze just raised his eyebrows slightly but obediently ate the steak she fed him.
"Sir and madam, would you like some red wine?" Red wine was a must for a French meal.
"There's wine..."
"No need."
"Ah, okay."
Su Rou pouted slightly and stabbed at the steak on her plate. Su Yuze rubbed her head. "Do you want to get drunk and make a scene again?" How could she forget the two times she got drunk?
"Not at all."
After dinner, Su Yuze didn't think the food in this French restaurant was as delicious as Su Rou had said. But... this experience of pretending to be a couple made him quite satisfied.
...
The next day
"Su Rou, I just had a simple meal with Su Meimei yesterday." Jiang Ling thought it was necessary to explain to Su Rou.
"Okay." Su Rou was playing a game on her phone and replied absent - mindedly. "Why are you telling me this?"
Jiang Ling was silent for a while. "I don't want you to misunderstand."
"Misunderstand? " Su Rou didn't take her eyes off her phone. After thinking for a while, she suddenly realized. "Oh, you're afraid I'll tell the teacher, right? Don't worry, I won't say anything."
The school prohibited puppy love, but how many students really listened? Didn't student romances still go on secretly as usual?
"No..." Jiang Ling was speechless. She still misunderstood. "Anyway, Su Meimei and I are just friends... no, just in a business - cooperation relationship!" Who would like a girl as arrogant as Su Meimei? He wasn't blind!
Su Rou thought Jiang Ling was a bit strange. "Actually, you don't need to explain anything to me. I know everything."
"You know?" Jiang Ling looked at her suspiciously. What did she know?
At this moment, Su Meimei walked in swaying her hips. She saw Jiang Ling talking to Su Rou at a glance. A slight look of displeasure appeared on her pretty face. Jiang Ling was hers. Their parents had already given their silent approval!
"Jiang Ling." Su Meimei called his name. "I need to talk to you."
Jiang Ling turned his head, looking impatient. "What?"
"Come out."
"If you don't want to say it, forget it." Jiang Ling snorted and turned his head away.
"You..."
Su Rou looked back and forth between them. "Jiang Ling, you'd better go out and talk." They had just had a meal yesterday, and now they were arguing? Love was really a strange thing.
Jiang Ling let out a heavy sigh and then walked out slowly. Su Meimei clenched her fists tightly. No matter how she asked him to come out, he ignored her. But as soon as Su Rou said a word, Jiang Ling obediently went out. What did that mean!
Jiang Ling walked out of the classroom. "What do you want to say?"
"My mom said she wants you to come to my place for dinner tonight."
"Is that all?" Jiang Ling knew what his parents meant. They wanted him to get along well with Su Meimei. By getting along well, it meant they could take their relationship further. Asking them to go out for a meal last night was proof.
"Um... Are you coming or not!" Su Meimei asked.
"What if I say no?"
"Then my mom will definitely call your family." Actually, it was Su Meimei who wanted Jiang Ling to come to her place for dinner. Since she couldn't get Jiang Ling to go out with her, she had to rely on the adults.
Jiang Ling really wanted to refuse in his heart, but his parents would surely drag him there. He scratched his hair impatiently and looked into the classroom. Su Rou was chatting with Xiao Yun and Yu Fei. For some reason, Su Rou's big eyes squinted slightly with a cute crescent - like smile.
"Jiang Ling?" Su Meimei suppressed her jealousy. Jiang Ling was still looking at Su Rou even when talking to her!
"Okay, I got it. Anything else? I'm going in." Jiang Ling replied perfunctorily and then walked into the classroom.
Su Meimei stood by the door for a while, then snorted. "What a jerk!"
"Meimei..." A timid voice came. Ling Tiantian was standing at the stairs looking at her, a bit surprised. "Are you here to find me?"
Here came another shameless one! "Don't be so self - indulgent, okay!"
"Aren't you..." Ling Tiantian's face blushed awkwardly. So she wasn't here to find her. "Then, can I have lunch with you?"
"Busy!" She was so angry that she had no appetite. But then she thought for a moment and said, "Okay, come and find me at noon."
"Okay!" Ling Tiantian replied cheerfully. She was almost wagging her tail for Su Meimei.
