Chapter 464

Zheng Wei apologized, but it was no different for Wang Yan. In class, he still sat behind Zhu Xiao Bei and Li Weijuan, and after class, he still chatted with Ruan Guan and the others, only not paying attention to Zheng Wei.

Such differential treatment made Zheng Wei grind her teeth secretly, and Xiaobei said that Zheng Wei even cursed him in her dreams at night.

Regarding this, Wang Yan just shook his head and smiled, didn't say anything, and remained the same.

And regarding the death of his parents, perhaps for fear of making him sad, Zhu Xiao Bei didn't tell him, and Li Weijuan and Ruan Guan didn't say anything either. They were still the same as before, laughing and talking with him.

Studying the courses of two departments made him much more fulfilled. Before, there were times when he wouldn't attend a single class in a day, but now he always attends four classes every day, there is always something he needs to learn. And even if he didn't need to attend the courses of the two departments sometimes, he would occasionally attend sophomore classes, which was not bad.

In the blink of an eye, it was Saturday. After studying for a morning and half an afternoon, Wang Yan put on his jacket and went to the family housing.

From afar, he saw Shi Jie standing at the entrance of the family housing, carrying a brown leather bag, wearing a white knitted sweater with a few red flowers on the upper body, a pair of jeans with normal trouser legs on the lower body, the roundness of her buttocks above, the straightness hidden under the trouser legs below, and white canvas shoes on her feet. In the autumn wind accompanying the drifting maple leaves, her shawl-like black hair fluttered, she stood with her hands behind her back, tentatively using her toes to keep her balance on the curb, having a great time.

This outfit, even if placed more than twenty years later, could be called fashionable. Of course, the premise is that she looks good and has that figure to set it off. Otherwise, no matter how well dressed, looking at a big face and a body of meat, or if the appearance is vulgar, there is no feeling, and normal people would probably praise "the clothes are really beautiful"...

Wang Yan lit a cigarette, leaned against a billboard not far away, and watched Shi Jie enjoying herself with a smile.

After playing by herself for a while, perhaps sensing someone's attention, Shi Jie finally didn't spare her gaze to look around. She saw Wang Yan leaning against the billboard with a cigarette in his mouth not far away at a glance. Their eyes met, and she showed a bright smile, waving to greet him.

After Wang Yan threw away the cigarette butt and approached, she asked: "How long have you been here?"

"Just the time it takes to smoke a cigarette, seeing you playing happily, I didn't disturb you."

"Do you think I'm very childish?"

Wang Yan shook his head and smiled: "That's having a childlike heart, very rare."

Meeting his gaze, Shi Jie blushed a little, raised her wrist to check her watch: "It's already four o'clock, let's go, I didn't eat lunch, let's hurry and have a big meal."

The two walked side by side to the station to wait for the bus.

"Aren't you studying two courses now? How is your study recently? Are you tired?"

"It's okay, for the Architecture Department's courses, sometimes I've already gone to listen to sophomore classes."

"Impressive!"

"I'm a genius."

Shi Jie pouted at Wang Yan's shamelessness, and she asked again: "How is the barbecue shop you opened with Big Sister Zhu? I originally wanted to go see it, but the bun shop closed again, and I don't know where the new shop is."

The renovation of the shop was actually very fast, and Wang Yan didn't design anything messy or flashy, so it basically didn't take much time. And he gave 20,000 yuan, which, at the current price level, couldn't spend that much on renting a house and renovation. So he let Big Sister Zhu, who was reluctant, close the bun shop and turned to focus on the renovation and recruiting employees.

"The new shop is just turning left ahead on this street..." Pointing to the location, he shook his head and said: "I don't know the specific situation, I haven't been there for a while, and I haven't asked Xiaobei."

"No way, big brother, you put in 20,000 yuan of real money, and there's such a valuable barbecue seasoning recipe, and you don't even go look? If it were me, I'd wish I could stare at it every day."

"I trust the two sisters, and Big Sister Zhu has never experienced these things, she has to grow. She has to know what's going on with the renovation, know how much salary to pay employees, how to make employees listen, know where to purchase goods, know how to distinguish the quality of suppliers, know the price of supplies, and so on. If she can't learn these things, then she can't even run this one shop well, and sooner or later it will fail. How can we talk about opening branches across the country, how can we talk about making it bigger and stronger and getting rich?"

Shi Jie nodded blankly, she didn't know those things either, and asked puzzled: "You're only eighteen, how do you know so much?"

"Didn't I just tell you? I'm a genius. Think more, want to know more, want to know more, then you have to learn more, see more. It just so happens that these are what I'm good at."

"Really not humble at all, where is there anyone like you who praises yourself with every word?"

"This is our Chinese humility and low-key. If someone else asked me, of course I would say something like I read more leisure books, but since you asked me, of course I have to tell the truth, because I am really very impressive."

"Thick-skinned."

"You're wrong, senior sister." Wang Yan shook his head calmly: "You have to have eyes for discovery, you have to contact me more, and after a long time, you'll know whether my skin is thick or not. Some people are a cup of tea, some people are a cup of wine, some people are coffee, and some people are drinks."

"Then what are you?"

Wang Yan leaned forward and looked at her: "That's for you to taste."

Shi Jie blushed, reached out to comb the broken hair on her forehead, covering up her pounding little heart. After a while, she spat: "I think, you're neither, you're the glass cup that holds these."

Laughing, Wang Yan nodded happily: "The car is here, let's go eat something delicious."

The two got on the bus and went all the way to Fuzimiao. This belongs to the Fuzimiao Qinhuai Scenic Belt, a famous scenic spot in Jin Ling, and a 5A scenic spot in the future. There are historical sites such as Fuzimiao, Wuyi Lane, Zhonghua Gate, and Bailuzhou. Even if tourism hasn't become a large-scale industry yet, there are many people here. After all, not to mention other places, even the locals in Jin Ling have to come over to stroll when they have nothing to do, which is lively enough.

As the head of the four major snacks in China, Qinhuai snacks are naturally not bragging. Not counting the famous Qinhuai Eight Wonders, there are many vendors gathering to operate snacks. Tourists are like weaving, the fragrance is nose-piercing, and not eating or drinking something is always a bit lacking.

After much difficulty finding a table in front of a stall, Shi Jie asked Wang Yan to wait, and she went out to sway for a long time. Wang Yan had already slowly drunk two bottles of beer, and she came back with a pile of things.

"Whoa, bought so much?"

"You can eat, right? If you want to eat, eat well, and I didn't eat lunch either, I can definitely eat a lot." While speaking, she put the things on the table, took them out one by one and set them up, and introduced to Wang Yan, who had never been here, what they were, which was very thorough.

She sat there, her mouth full, still chattering, giving Wang Yan all kinds of food, occasionally clinking bottles with Wang Yan and drinking happily. It could be seen that she was very happy.

"How come your eating style is more open than a man like me, look at this mouth." Wang Yan very naturally took a napkin and went over to help her wipe the corners of her mouth.

When the napkin touched the corners of Shi Jie's mouth, Shi Jie was stunned for a moment, and then her little face turned red visibly. This move was too intimate, and she hurriedly turned her head away: "Thank you, I'll do it myself."

Wang Yan shook his head with regret, threw the napkin he had just used to wipe Shi Jie's mouth into the trash can, and picked up the beer bottle himself to drink.

Shi Jie glared at her good junior: "Hey, what kind of expression is that."

"It's obvious, regret, wanted to take advantage but didn't."

"Really didn't see it, you're also a hooligan, if this were ten years ago, you'd be locked up for at least three years."

"Then wouldn't those two be taken to the shooting range?" Wang Yan pointed to the corner, a pair of men and women whose faces were stuck together, and seeing Shi Jie still glaring at him, he smiled: "I'm a hot-blooded young man who yearns for beautiful girls, senior sister is so beautiful, her skin is so smooth and elastic, it's too attractive. If you want to talk about it, blame senior sister for being too beautiful."

Glaring fiercely at the shameless good junior, Shi Jie snorted: "Eat quickly, it won't be delicious if it gets cold in a while."

She was just shy inside, although Wang Yan said something about taking advantage, it wasn't anything excessive, just helping her wipe the corners of her mouth, although it was indeed too intimate. However, the words were still quite pleasant to hear, blaming her for being too beautiful...

The distance between the two had actually narrowed, but walking side by side isn't called intimacy, there's still a psychological acceptance. This kind of psychological distance is the key, and it's what needs to be broken. To break this distance, there is no doubt, only by touching and groping, lowering the bottom line step by step, and increasing acceptance. Of course, going straight to the theme isn't counted, that's a pile driver, a bus, no emotional exchange, no meaning.

There is no doubt that Shi Jie has a good impression of him, Wang Mou, it's just that there is a three-year difference between the two. Of course, as the saying goes, a woman three years older holds gold bricks. But the reality is different, Shi Jie graduated, and he is only a freshman. A social person, and a student in an ivory tower, this is the key. So he has to move forward a little bit, and show himself off, to erase the small hurdle between them.

According to the original plot, because of high-altitude throwing or falling objects, anyway, Lin Jing was injured, and then the two went to the hospital together. Although the movie didn't show it, the time she knew Lin Jing wasn't long, and then she pestered him to death and lived together. It can be seen that Shi Jie is not someone who is coy in feelings, or rather, she is very paranoid once she identifies someone. So if Wang Yan were like her, both social people, perhaps the progress between the two would be flying fast...

With such a small, small ambiguity, Shi Jie lost her previous naturalness. It was obvious that her heart was in chaos. Wang Yan didn't tease her either, walked along the Qinhuai River after eating, he was still as witty as ever, and then sent her back downstairs at home after eight o'clock.

He wasn't in a hurry, after all, counting it all up, it hadn't even been half a month since they met. Take it slow. A good hunter, the most important thing is patience...

His patience naturally wouldn't be used wrong, because after they went to Fuzimiao, there was no contact for two whole months. He had Shi Jie's home landline and pager number, and Shi Jie also knew the phone number of his dormitory building, but they hadn't spoken. And because the bun shop was gone, he didn't have to pass through the family housing, so he didn't go that way anymore, and just like that, there was no contact.

However, Zhu Xiao Bei told him that Shi Jie had passed by the barbecue shop under renovation twice, cared about the progress of the shop, and said that when it opened, she would bring friends to support it, but she didn't ask about his situation at all...

Women, of course, wouldn't affect Wang Yan, he was still doing what he should do. Studying hard every day, occasionally chatting and laughing with Zhu Xiao Bei, Li Weijuan, and Ruan Guan, they were all good friends.

He still ignored Zheng Wei, and Zheng Wei was still grinding her teeth in hatred at him, helpless. However, she wasn't a pushover. Wang Yan didn't like to pay attention to her, so she insisted on mixing in front of his eyes. So occasionally, when Wang Yan's second class was in civil engineering, they would have lunch together. Occasionally, when Wang Yan invited them to the small private kitchen, she didn't speak and just followed, and also sponged two meals. Wang Yan wasn't a big head, so he didn't invite her many times. In two months, he invited her twice, and Zheng Wei happened to be there.

Of course, the process also couldn't lack Xu Kaiyang and Zhang Kai, one liked Zheng Wei, and one wanted to be a supporting role there. Many times, lunch could be bumped into, or rather, they bumped into it on purpose. Xu Kaiyang invited the small private kitchen more often, and Wang Yan also sponged several meals. He told his family about the computer selling, and restored high consumption.

Sometimes, there were club activities, Zheng Wei insisted on pulling her best friend Ruan Guan to follow Xu Kaiyang, Zhang Kai, and the others to have fun. Sometimes Zheng Wei went to the men's dormitory 310 to play computer, all quite happy.

However, Wang Yan didn't hear the news of Xu Kaiyang confessing to Zheng Wei, maybe the time hadn't come, and it might be next year. This matter would definitely happen, after all, Xu Kaiyang's liking for Zheng Wei hadn't changed.

During this period, he also bought a house outside the school. It wasn't big, only 60 square meters, and it was on the top floor of the sixth floor. But there was one good thing, the top floor wasn't a sloping roof, it counted as a large terrace, and there were vegetables and flowers and plants planted by the aunt in the building. In such a time when there weren't many high-rise buildings, the scenery on the roof was naturally very great, and he was quite satisfied.

The price level of this era was there, and there was no housing reform, so the price wasn't expensive, and it didn't cost much in total, very cheap. He didn't renovate anything, just made a few pieces of furniture and moved in, counting as a place to stay. He also moved his household registration from the collective household registration of Southeast University to this house, which would be convenient in the future, counting as settling down in Jin Ling first...

Time reached January 1995, and small snowflakes were rarely drifting in the sky, falling on the ground in a thin layer, but they turned into water in a moment. Jin Ling is located in the south and does not belong to the scope of centralized heating. The average winter temperature is minus five or six degrees, and the air is humid, which is the so-called magic damage. Although the clothing is not as good as the northern big cotton-padded jacket and cotton-padded trousers, it is also left layer by layer, after all, whoever is cold knows.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Wang Yan raised his wrist to check the time on his watch: "The auspicious hour has arrived, big sister, lift the plaque, Xiaobei, come with me to set off the firecrackers, everyone else step back, don't get hit."

After speaking, Wang Yan lit a cigarette, ran to the side to light the fireworks, and on the other side, Zhu Xiao Bei also used a lighter to light it together, and finally lit the hanging firecrackers. A total of 18 fireworks and two strings of firecrackers exploded with a crackling sound.

Behind, Big Sister Zhu pulled the red cloth covering the plaque, revealing the huge plaque with "Life in a Skewer" written on it. This plaque didn't need to be thought about, of course, it came from Wang Yan's hand. The font was flying dragon and dancing phoenix, and because these words were simple, even those who knew how to read could distinguish them. The background color of the plaque was pure white, the words were black, and they occupied half of the area. On the other side was a small person holding a knife composed of the four words "Life in a Skewer," which was also their logo, drawn with ink and wash techniques, having a kind of Jianghu feeling. It was consistent with what Wang Yan upheld: simple, clean.

The shop below the plaque allowed people to see the layout inside at a glance from the outside, simple, atmospheric, and looking very high-end at first glance, the most important thing was cleanliness. Eating, after all, always requires some attention. At this time, how could people think that there would be things like gutter oil...

Such a commotion had long attracted many people to watch. Opening a new shop, there is always an activity. After the firecrackers ended, Wang Yan took the microphone and, with the large speaker at the door, talked about the discounts for the new shop opening, such as 20% off, and gifts for lucky numbers at checkout. He also let the waiters set up two large signs on the roadside, marking the original price and discounted price of the food.

There was no way, people would think the consumption was high when they saw this decoration, so they would be embarrassed to enter. They had to let people know that such a newly opened, high-end-looking barbecue shop actually didn't have very high consumption, but it wasn't cheap either.

After the introduction, a group of people went back into the house to drink hot water. Who would eat barbecue in the morning? It's better to eat in the afternoon and evening.

"Can it work, Xiao Yan?" Big Sister Zhu looked at the waiters who were idle but diligent in wiping tables and chairs, and felt a bit insecure.

"Haven't you tasted it? You and Xiaobei have almost eaten until you vomited barbecue in these two months, what else could be the problem? You have to have confidence in yourself. But for this period of time, the customers might not be too many, after all, it's winter now, and barbecue is still a bit lacking, but it will definitely be no problem by next year, don't worry, big sister."

Shi Jie comforted: "Big sister, when I go to work next week, I'll bring some colleagues over first. The taste is so good, they will definitely like it. Didn't Wang Yan say, we rely on word of mouth, as long as we do the service to the best, and ensure the taste doesn't change, it will definitely be no problem."

Comfort is useless, Big Sister Zhu is an ordinary person, being able to open a bun shop was already an ability. Now that she had closed the bun shop, spent so much money to rent a large shop, did renovation, made tables and chairs, various machines in the kitchen, and supported more than ten employees in the front and back kitchen, and the wages were not low, every time she opened her eyes, she was spending money, it would be strange if she could be at ease.

Zhu Xiao Bei looked bold and went to university, and had culture. But at this moment, she was also sitting there picking her fingers without saying a word, nervous and afraid.

Wang Yan said: "Big sister, if you are not at ease, wait until noon, let the barbecue master move the barbecue grill outside, right on the street. When the wind blows, the fragrance will fill the street, and people will definitely come to see. You just give it away for free, one skewer per person, let people taste the flavor. Give away two or three hundred skewers, and many people will definitely come in the evening."

"Two or three hundred skewers, that's not a small amount of money."

"There is gain only with sacrifice, alright big sister, Xiaobei, you guys stay, I'm leaving first, I'll come back in the evening." Wang Yan got up and looked at Shi Jie who was sitting on the side without moving: "Senior sister?"

Hearing his greeting, Shi Jie said something to the Zhu sisters, got up, and left behind Wang Yan.

Coming outside, the two walked side by side, and for a while, neither of them spoke. It was the kind of distance between men and women, who speaks first loses, this is actually ambiguity.

Wang Yan shook his head and smiled, tilted his head and looked at the beauty kicking stones beside him: "How did senior sister know it opened today?"

"Xiaobei told me." Shi Jie explained: "Last time when we went to Fuzimiao, didn't you tell me the address? I happened to pass by, so I came to see it twice."

"Senior sister, why didn't you contact me for these two months? Is work too busy?"

"It's okay." Shi Jie said casually: "Didn't you also not contact me."

"Oh, I understand. So senior sister was waiting for me to contact you first. Hey, you said this matter, it was a misunderstanding."

"What misunderstanding?"

Wang Yan said with a smile: "It was about the matter of me taking advantage of you when we ate at Fuzimiao last time. I thought you were unhappy, after all, you didn't say anything to me when you left that day, I thought this was the end of fate, I didn't expect you to come today when it opened."

"Just this little thing?" Shi Jie exhaled, of course, it was different from what she imagined. She was shy about her age, and also afraid that Wang Yan would mind her age. She had already noticed the attraction of this good junior to her, she didn't know whether she should continue, this was the reason for not taking the initiative to contact for two months. She had considered it comprehensively, Wang Yan was excellent in all aspects. Whether it was conversation, cultivation, knowledge, ability, or taking out 20,000 yuan without blinking, he was a man with a great future.

"Ah, otherwise what?"

"You're just letting your imagination run wild, taking advantage only counts if you actually took it."

Wang Yan raised his eyebrows: "Then how about... making it up?"

"Go, improper." Shi Jie blushed, gave her good junior a light punch, and she changed the subject: "Hurry up and eat, it won't be delicious if it gets cold in a while."

She was just shy inside, although Wang Yan said something about taking advantage, it wasn't anything excessive, just helping her wipe the corners of her mouth, although it was indeed too intimate. However, the words were still quite pleasant to hear, blaming her for being too beautiful...

The distance between the two had actually narrowed, but walking side by side isn't called intimacy, there's still a psychological acceptance. This kind of psychological distance is the key, and it's what needs to be broken. To break this distance, there is no doubt, only by touching and groping, lowering the bottom line step by step, and increasing acceptance. Of course, going straight to the theme isn't counted, that's a pile driver, a bus, no emotional exchange, no meaning.

There is no doubt that Shi Jie has a good impression of him, Wang Mou, it's just that there is a three-year difference between the two. Of course, as the saying goes, a woman three years older holds gold bricks. But the reality is different, Shi Jie graduated, and he is only a freshman.
