Chapter 84
The place of treats was booked in the “That Year” barbecue opposite the Beijing North University, the boss was still the same boss before, watching them come in in pairs and said with a lot of emotion, “It’s good to see you together.”
Zhang Yang joked, “Boss, we are all regular customers, remember to give more discounts.”
“That’s a must.” The boss said boldly, “Your drinks are free tonight.”
Zhang Yang tilted his chin and said, “Boss is atmospheric.”
Yu Lele pushed him, “How old are you, still so skinny, don’t you see that the boss’s waist is all tired and bent, you have the cheek to eat and drink for free.”
Zhang Yang took Yu Lele’s shoulder and said with a hefty smile, “My daughter-in-law is right, you can’t eat and drink for free, you must pay.”
He turned his head to look at the others and said, “Be strong, Brother Sam’s treat.”
Zhao Chuan and Feng Zhao echoed, “I’ve been hungry for several meals, I must eat enough tonight.”
This was followed by roaring laughter, this scene was like back when they were still in school at Jingbei University, they also came out to eat in such groups, and when they saw the boss, they would also make fun of each other.
The boss personally greeted them in, and greeted the waiter over to order food.
Zhao Chuan asked a question while cleaning the dishes, “Where are Brother Sam and Su Orange? Why haven’t they come yet?”
“Just called to say they’re almost here.” Zhao Chuan poured the water in the cups back and forth, cleaning his own and then going to clean the other tableware.
In his line of sight, he saw someone put their hand out to stop him.
He stared at that hand for a long time and opened his mouth with the tip of his tongue against his teeth slot, “Don’t move, I’ll get it for you.”
The owner of that hand was Zhang Huan, the two had not spoken for more than a month since they had a falling out last time, originally Zhao Chuan wanted to take advantage of Su Orange and Zhou Yuchen’s engagement banquet to find a way to make up with her, he even bought a good gift, who knows it didn’t work.
Zhang Huan said in a faint voice, “No, I can do it myself.”
Zhao Chuan’s fingers holding the cup lurched, slowly raised his head, narrowed his eyes to look at her, his voice was not too high or too low, not deliberately suppressed, “Huanhuan, really can’t forgive me?”
Zhang Huan’s eyes were pale, her words were not even lazy, she blankly glanced at him and then turned her head to chat with Yu Lele.
Zhao Chuan’s face was frustrated, his fingers clenched and clicked.
Zhang Yang didn’t notice their movement, probed and asked Zhao Chuan, “Eh, Chuanzi, you give Brother Sam and the others another call, if they don’t come, they can only eat the empty sign ah.”
Zhao Chuan said in a faint voice, “Call yourself.”
Zhang Yang showed him his cell phone, “I accidentally broke the screen when I just got off the bus, I would like to call, but the key can’t dial out.”
Zhao Chuan picked up the cell phone and left the private room, originally going to the bathroom and finally stopped at the corner at the end of the promenade.
He fished out a cigarette and lighter from his pocket and inclined his head to light it up and slowly inhale it.
Zhou Yuchen and Su Orange came in from the outside, inadvertently saw Zhao Chuan smoking there, Zhou Yuchen asked Su Orange to go in first, turned around and he walked towards Zhao Chuan.
After standing still, he spoke in a faint voice: “What are you doing?”
“Brother Sam,” Zhao Chuan exhaled the smoke, looking sideways at Zhou Yuchen, “Why are you alone? Where’s Su Orange?”
“Went inside.” Zhou Yuchen leaned against the wall and asked, “Still haven’t made up with Zhang Huan?”
“No.” Zhao Chuan said, “She ignored me.”
“What did you do?”
“I,” Zhao Chuan took two hard puffs of his cigarette, “lent my sister the money we were planning to buy a house with.”
“Didn’t tell her beforehand?”
“No, afraid she wouldn’t agree.”
Zhou Yuchen stared at him and said, “Serves you right.”
Zhao Chuan finished the last puff of his cigarette, stubbed it out and threw it in the trash can next to him, scratching his head, “Yes, I deserved it.”
He paused, “But that’s my sister, there’s no way I can’t help.”
“Helping is fine, but you should tell Zhang Huan.” Zhou Yuchen asked, “You’re thinking she won’t agree?”
Zhao Chuan: “……”
Zhou Yuchen added, “You concluded that she wouldn’t agree without even asking her, to put it bluntly, you still don’t trust her enough.”
Zhao Chuan wrinkled his eyebrows, “I know how much she wants to buy a house, from last year to ask at various properties, this year it’s hard to buy, and then something like this happened, I…don’t dare to tell her.”
“How much money is still missing to buy a house?” Zhou Yuchen said in a faint voice, “I’ll give it to you.”
“No need, the money my sister has already paid back.” Zhao Chuan said with a pained face, “She is now recognizing that I do not face her in my family, and opened her mouth to break up with me.”
“But I really do not want to break up.”
“Do not want to split on a good apology.” Zhou Yuchen patted him on the shoulder, “Orange and I can start over, you guys are even better.”
“Not the same.” Zhao Chuan rubbed his face, “Su Orange has always had you in her heart, never forgotten, Zhang Huan is not, she blames me.”
Zhao Chuan’s eyes reddened, “Forget it, let’s not talk about these unhappy ones, haven’t said it yet, congratulations.”
Zhou Yuchen hmmmed and raised his eyebrows, “Everyone is waiting, let’s go.”
The private room was bustling, Zhang Yang was making a scene again, insisting Su Orange to tell a story about how Zhou Yuchen proposed.
Su Orange smiled and interrupted, “Who told you he proposed?”
“What do you mean?” Zhang Yang paused, the others also looked over, “If Brother Sam didn’t beg, can’t it be that you begged?”
“Can’t I beg?” Su Orange asked rhetorically.
Feng Zhao echoed, “Yes, of course.”
Zhang Yang still did not believe it, “Did you really beg?”
“Well, I begged.”
Just as Su Orange’s words fell, Zhou Yuchen walked in, sat on Su Orange’s side, raised his eyebrows and asked Zhang Yang, “What’s going on?”
He intimately placed his arm on the back of the chair behind Su Orange, as if he was holding someone in his arms.
Zhang Yang asked loudly, “Brother Sam, who actually proposed this marriage of yours?”
“Isn’t it the same who proposed?” Zhou Yuchen’s eyes were dying to stick to Su Orange, and when he saw her holding a glass of wine to drink, he stopped her, shook his head, and said against her ear, “The day after tomorrow, you’re on your physiological period, so you can’t drink anything too cold.”
Zhang Yang is still there jumping after the question, “Eh, Brother Sam, then you say ah, who begged?”
“I begged.” Zhou Yuchen said, “Of course a man has to do this kind of thing.”
“That’s not what Orange said.” Zhang Yang squeezed his eyes.
“What did you say?” Zhou Yuchen went to look at Su Orange, his eyes were indescribably so gentle.
“I said I begged for it, why, isn’t it right?”
“Yes, whatever you say is right.” Zhou Yuchen pinched her face dotingly.
Su Orange saw everyone’s eyes on them and pushed him, reminding him, “Stop it, everyone is watching.”
Zhang Yang shook the goosebumps on his arms and tsked, “Alright, we don’t need to order food, we can just eat dog food and get full.”
This was followed by cacophonous laughter.
Zhou Yuchen didn’t mind, they could laugh if they wanted to, they could look if they wanted to, he was legal today, he could do whatever he wanted.
“Yu Lele, mind Zhang Yang.” Zhou Yuchen handed warm water to Su Orange, turned his head to Lele and said, “He has such a bad mouth, how do you put up with him.”
“Hey, what can I do if I’ve received the license.”
“Why can’t we do anything about it? If we can’t, we’ll leave, and I’ll introduce you to a better one.”
“That’s good.” Yu Lele said with a smile.
Zhang Yang listened to them sing together, patting the table, “Brother Sam, do not take you like this ah, blatantly separated us two couples of feelings, but also too unrighteous ah.”
Zhou Yu Chen: “Who told you to talk so much.”
Zhang Yang: “OK, OK, OK, I’ll shut up, I’ll shut up OK.”
Zhang Yang was quiet, the others got rowdy, Zhao Chuan said, “Brother Sam, we must not get drunk tonight.”
He did it first.
Seeing this, Zhou Yuchen could only accompany him, and also finished his drink in one gulp.
Su Orange tugged at the hem of his shirt, whispering a reminder, “You drink slowly.”
Zhou Yuchen holds her hand and puts it on his leg, leaning in and saying, “Well, don’t drink too much.”
Just after finishing this serious sentence another immodest one popped up, “I still have to enter the cave at night.”
Su Orange: “……”
Su orange cheeks stained with uncomfortable red, quietly pinched his palm, Zhou Yuchen lips hooked, waiting for her to pinch enough to pick up her hand and pass it to his lips and kissed it.
Next to Zhao Chuan saw this scene, line of sight and Zhang Huan’s eyes, Zhang Huan look faint, look at him like looking at strangers, Zhao Chuan heart is not happy, and even poured himself three cups, the last or Feng Zhao stopped him before stopping.
Feng Zhao said: “What? Touching a drink that doesn’t cost anything and want to get drunk, I’m not responsible for carrying you back.”
Zhao Chuan pushed his hand away, “Don’t need you to care.”
“Then who is in charge?” Feng Zhao asked, “Zhang Huan, do you care.”
Zhang Huan is chatting with Yu Lele, the topic of women is basically clothes and cosmetics, Yu Lele is giving her an advantage of a cosmetic that she uses well, when she heard Feng Zhao see her, Zhang Huan raised her head and snorted, “Not familiar, can’t care.”
“Eh, you are not familiar with that who is familiar with ah,” Feng Zhao to this moment is to understand what is going on, feelings of the two people quarrel, “Okay, almost can ah.”
Zhang Huan said: “Can not.”
This is the first time she spoke out so directly.
Feng Zhao was choked and suddenly did not know what to say, Su Orange stopped fighting with Zhou Yuchen, raised her head and asked Zhang Huan, “Huanhuan, what’s wrong?”
“Nothing.” Zhang Huan said resentfully.
Su Orange went to look at Zhou Yuchen again, Zhou Yuchen scratched her palm and lowered his voice, “Zhang Huan and Zhao Chuan had a fight?”
“Why?”
“Then you have to ask Zhang Huan.”
Later, when several women went to the restroom together, Su Orange asked about it, “Huanhuan, what happened between you and Zhao Chuan?”
Zhang Huan told them the whole story, which was that Zhao Chuan’s sister was trapped in the stock market and needed money to pay off her debt, and Zhao Chuan lent money to his sister without her knowledge.
Zhang Huan to go to the sales department to see the house to pay the deposit only to find that the money in the card are gone, asked Zhao Chuan to tell the truth.
Zhang Huan asked Zhao Chuan, “If I don’t ask, are you going to keep it from me?”
Zhao Chuan is also a truthful person, surprisingly said, “She said she would pay it back soon, so I ……”
“So you didn’t even think about telling me, to me?” Zhang Huan asked.
Zhao Chuan hmmmed.
Lin Mai heard this angrily, “Is Zhao Chuan stupid, that’s speculation, it may not be blood money.”
Su Orange gave Lin Mai a look and softly said, “It’s not right for Zhao Chuan to do this, but people make mistakes, forgive him once.”
Yu Lele also spoke at the side, “Yes, forgive him once.”
Gao Chang said, “You guys have been talking for so long, it’s not worth it to split up for this amount of money.”
Zhang Huan is not to be divided or anything, just the heart is angry, red eyes, said: “He is too unselfish, but if he has a little bit of his heart to think of me, he will not do so.”
“Yes, what he did was wrong,” Su Orange said, “We’ll help you scold him in a while.”
While the women were discussing in the restroom, the men weren’t idle either, Zhang Yang said, “Zhao Chuan you say how sick you are, this matter should have been told to Zhang Huan ahead of time, you say you, make it like this, really owes a beating.”
Zhao Chuan also regretted, “Then what to do?”
“What can be done, coaxing.” Feng Zhao said.
Song Zhou also interjected, “Apologize properly and strive for leniency.”
In the end, how this matter is resolved is temporarily unknown, after the meal, a group of people left from the barbecue restaurant, the neighborhood is repairing the road, the car can not drive in, they can only walk to the street to drive.
The man in front of the walk, the woman in the back playful, time seems to go back to the year just went to Beijing University, also this kind of night, light and shadow, they came out of the barbecue restaurant, playful and non-stop.
Su Orange was surveying the teenager’s figure in the back, Yu Lele took her arm and asked, “Who are you looking at?”
As the words fell, she blushed.
This time Yu Lele still held Su Orange’s arm and said against her ear, “Orange, be happy.”
Su Orange hmmmed, “If you are.”
Zhou Yuchen in front stopped and turned to look back at her, their lines of sight collided in mid-air, the man’s eyebrows arched, his eyes gentle and loving, he called out, “Orange.”
Su Orange’s lips hooked.
Next to her, Lin Mai was messing with her, “Ah, so meaty.”
There are even more fleshy ones in the back.
Su Orange did not respond, Zhou Yuchen called out again, “Daughter-in-law.”
Su Orange’s face was dyed a heavy red, the roots behind her ears were red, and her eyelashes trembled.
The others saw this and made another flurry of noise.
Zhou Yuchen stopped, time seemed to have stopped as well, there were no breakups in the middle of the eight years between them, only the night of their freshman year, they came out of the barbecue restaurant, and then right now, they looked at each other with affection.
In the next second, Zhou Yuchen picked Su Orange up high and spun her around in a circle.
Su Orange subconsciously wrapped her arms around his neck and called with a trembling voice, “Zhou Yuchen.”
Zhou Yuchen is still spinning, tilting his head and gazing at her, “Change your name.”
Su Orange pursed her lips and called out with a red face, “Husband.”
