A Joyful Boy: From Meeting the Drunk Song Qian

Page 32

026: We went out for lunch at Song Qian's invitation.

"What's wrong?" Song Qian looked at her in confusion.

"Oh, it's nothing."

Qiao Yingzi realized what was happening and quickly corrected herself, saying, "Mom, Taozi asked me to go out tomorrow, so I won't be home for lunch."

"Let's go out to eat." Song Qian applied her skincare products, her eyes darting around. "You're not planning to sneak off to meet your dad, are you? Let me tell you, that won't do."

"No, it's true that I went out with Taozi." Qiao Yingzi emphasized Huang Zhitao.

After all, she was a beautiful and academically gifted student at Chunfeng Middle School.

Song Qian trusted her quite a bit.

Sure enough, Song Qian paused for a moment and then agreed.

However, I still emphasized it.

"But don't eat hot pot, it's bad for your stomach, you know?"

"Okay!"

Early in the morning, Su Chen finished breakfast at Song Qian's house and was about to leave with his things when Song Qian called him back.

"We don't need to cook lunch today."

"A student's parent is treating our class to lunch, and I have to go."

"Yingzi is going out to eat with her friends, so you'll be all alone at lunchtime."

Song Qian didn't actually need to explain, but she couldn't help but say it.

Su Chen nodded.

I didn't have any particular thoughts in mind.

Just cook a little something for lunch.

It's just a pity that the number of times I cook has increased.

Su Chen's slight disappointment was noticed by Song Qian, which made her heart tremble.

Song Qian couldn't help but think of it.

Su Chen's parents are not around, so he has been eating all his meals at their house. Could it be that he just wants to experience the atmosphere of 'home'?

Today, she went out to eat with Yingzi, and Su Chen was alone again.

Will I be very sad?

The thought of Su Chen facing a cold home alone filled Song Qian with unbearable sorrow.

"Why don't you come with me at noon?"

"Anyway, you're all students, so you'll get along well."

Su Chen: ? ? ? ? ? ? (Confused)

Seeing the 'surprised' look in Su Chen's eyes, Song Qian nodded: "I'll call you when I leave at noon."

And so, Su Chen returned home with a bewildered expression.

Looking at the pot in my hand.

"Just this afternoon, I missed two sessions?"

Su Chen gave a wry smile.

Although he felt helpless, he accepted it and went out to eat with them.

It doesn't cost any money.

After breakfast, Qiao Yingzi changed into a dark-colored outfit in her room, said goodbye to Song Qian, and went out.

Come downstairs.

A figure she knew all too well was waiting for her there.

"Taozi!~"

Qiao Yingzi reached out and hugged her, rubbing her face against her body: "Long time no see~"

Huang Zhitong also looked helpless: "It's only been a few days since we came back from summer camp, is that a long time?"

"Haven't you heard the saying 'a day apart feels like three autumns'?" Qiao Yingzi retorted, pulling her forward: "Taozi, I'm having Haidilao with my dad for lunch today, why don't you come too?"

"What would I do during your father-daughter time?" Huang Zhitao shook her head in refusal, looking at her with some concern: "Aren't you afraid your mother will find out and get angry with you?"

As her best friend of many years, Huang Zhitao knew Song Qian's temperament well.

If she knew that Qiao Yingzi had secretly gone out for hot pot with Qiao Weidong, all three of her negative energies would be combined.

Based on Qiao Yingzi's position in her heart.

The consequences would be unimaginable.

Qiao Yingzi said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, I told her I was going out to eat with you. As long as you don't tell her, she won't know."

"Besides, she usually doesn't go to places like hot pot restaurants, so you can rest assured!"

The two walked and chatted.

Huang Zhitao brought up Qiao Yingzi's neighbor, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

Qiao Yingzi also blurted out everything she knew.

"This guy is amazing. He's handsome, and he cooks well. Although his grades are bad, his progress these past few days has been terrifying."

"Can you believe that someone can get a perfect score on the test my mom set after studying for only one hour?"

Huang Zhitao was also shocked.

I never expected that guy to be so powerful.

"Then how do you know he's a good cook?"

“Um…” Qiao Yingzi smiled awkwardly, then thought for a moment and said, “My mom saw that he was lonely, so she let him eat at my house.”

"He felt embarrassed, so he cooked for us a few times, and the food was really good."

Then, Qiao Yingzi also revealed Song Qian's speculation about Su Chen.

"Both my parents are gone..."

Huang Zhitao's heart skipped a beat.

A strange feeling welled up inside me instantly.

Huang Zhitao's parents were always away in other places seeking medical treatment and earning money, leaving her with relatives. Although this ensured she had enough to eat and drink, she still felt like she was living under someone else's roof after a while.

Huang Zhitao originally thought that this was bad enough.

Unexpectedly, Su Chen's parents had both passed away, and he managed to survive through elementary and middle school on his own.

Even after making money, the first thing he did was not to retaliate with extravagant spending, but to rent an apartment in Shuxiang Yayuan and work hard to get into Chunfeng Middle School.

A figure busy making a living appeared in Huang Zhitao's mind.

Compared to him.

My own suffering is nothing compared to this!

Now we know why he went out to buy groceries during his morning exercise.

Because this saves more time.

This will allow me to have more time to study.

"That's really amazing," Huang Zhitao murmured softly.

"Right! I'll find a chance to introduce you two. We might be classmates in the future!"

The two walked and talked.

However, most of the subsequent conversation focused on Su Chen.

Huang Zhitao's eyes are becoming more and more gentle.

At 11:30, Su Chen cleaned the house again.
