Chapter 167 is a bit awkward.
"Brother Jie, if you keep saying that, I'm leaving!"
"I...I don't like these silly jokes!"
Ma Junjie was startled and immediately froze.
He hadn't expected Li Xuemei's reaction to be so strong.
to be frank,
His true intention was simply to consider Li Xuemei's feelings; it was out of kindness.
He felt that it was a waste to leave one of the two rooms empty.
Now, listening to Li Xuemei's words...
Ma Junjie suddenly realized,
There are differences between men and women; I had actually overlooked this issue.
Ma Junjie saw Li Xuemei's angry expression.
He apologized.
"Xuemei, I'm sorry, I... I didn't think it through."
"I apologize, I'm sorry."
Although Li Xuemei was angry, she let it go because Ma Junjie's attitude seemed quite good.
She waved, then turned and walked outside.
Ma Junjie quickly caught up with him.
"Xuemei, let's... let's go eat!"
Li Xuemei was probably determined to leave.
Hearing Ma Junjie's words, she did not answer, but continued walking towards the door.
Ma Junjie saw that Li Xuemei remained silent.
To reiterate,
"Xuemei, there's a restaurant not far ahead that's good and inexpensive. Let's eat there."
"Xuemei, the restaurant owner is very nice, she..."
Ma Junjie continued speaking to himself,
Suddenly Li Xuemei stopped and stared at Ma Junjie.
"Brother Jie, you said you'd treat me to dinner, so let me ask you this: you treated me to dinner, where's your money?"
Ma Junjie was taken aback by Li Xuemei's sudden question.
I was taken aback.
He subconsciously touched his pocket.
I touched it, and it was broken.
He immediately remembered.
Holy crap! The money was stolen by that bastard.
He was so embarrassed he just wanted to cover his eyes.
He kept saying he'd treat everyone to a meal.
As a result, he found himself penniless.
If they actually go to a restaurant and have a meal, Li Xuemei will probably have to pay the bill.
Upon further reflection,
My phone was recovered thanks to Li Xuemei.
And now...
"Sigh," Ma Junjie sighed heavily and lowered his head.
Seeing Ma Junjie like this, Li Xuemei gently shook her head.
suddenly,
Ma Junjie realized that Li Xuemei was holding his hand.
With a "thud," something was shoved into my hand.
A voice rang in my ear.
"Here, you can use this first. I'm leaving now!"
After saying that, Li Xuemei turned around and strode away.
Ma Junjie quickly looked at his hand.
Upon looking,
It was actually a 100-yuan bill.
Ma Junjie's pupils continued to dilate.
"Ah, this...this..."
Coming to his senses, he quickly ran towards the door, shouting,
"Xuemei, I don't want to..."
"Xuemei, here you go, I have money..."
Once outside, Li Xuemei had already disappeared down some side path.
Ma Junjie stood there, stunned.
He held the money in his hand up again.
Staring intently at the hundred yuan,
Overwhelmed with emotion, I was speechless...
After standing there for several minutes, Ma Junjie turned around again, walked into the yard, and locked the door.
Holding the key, he remembered Li Xuemei's words again.
So he hid the key on the windowsill.
Immediately afterwards, Ma Junjie walked out of the courtyard, closed the gate, and turned around. It was already dark.
Ma Junjie was about to return to his dormitory.
Take a step forward and walk.
Suddenly, "ring ring," a rapid telephone ringing occurred.
Ma Junjie looked a little listless, took out his phone and checked it.
Upon checking the screen, I was surprised to see that it was Carina Lau calling.
Ma Junjie roused himself and coughed a few times.
Then he answered the phone and greeted them.
"Hello, Sister Liu, what can I do for you?"
Carina Lau paused for a moment, then asked,
"Ah Jie, where are you?"
Ma Junjie answered truthfully.
"Sister Liu, I'm near the factory. I'm going to eat and then go back to my dormitory to rest."
"Oh!" Carina Lau looked a little disappointed.
"Ah Jie, I thought you hadn't gone far, and I was going to call you over for dinner."
"My dad has recovered and is fine now."
"The first thing he did when he woke up was to ask me to call you and invite you over for a chat and a meal!"
Ma Junjie was very surprised to hear this.
However, upon hearing from Carina Lau that Liu Xiong was alright, Ma Junjie felt much relieved.
He said it politely,
"Sister Liu, let's skip the meal. Maybe next time."
"Sister Liu, please convey my gratitude to Uncle Liu, and also say sorry to him."
"Hehe!" Carina Lau chuckled softly.
"Ah Jie, you don't need to apologize."
"My dad... he said he admires you and likes you a lot."
Upon hearing this, Ma Junjie's eyes lit up.
At the same time, I was also extremely puzzled.
he thought,
He knocked Liu Xiong to the ground with a single punch, rendering him speechless.
Now, he says he likes himself.
What kind of statement is this?
Ma Junjie believed that this was probably just a polite remark made by Carina Lau.
he said,
"Sister Liu, thank you again."
Carina Lau chuckled and said,
"Alright, that's settled then, Ah Jie, see you tomorrow!"
"Okay, see you tomorrow, Sister Liu!"
After saying that, the two hung up the phone.
Ma Junjie thought about it for a while and still couldn't figure it out.
He put his phone back in his pocket and continued walking.
After walking a few steps,
The phone suddenly rang again.
Ma Junjie was puzzled, so he quickly took it out and looked at it.
I initially thought it was because Carina Lau hadn't finished speaking when she called again.
But when you look at the screen notes, it's not Carina Lau, it's Fat Tiger.
Upon seeing this name,
Ma Junjie suddenly remembered
Oh right, I promised to treat Fat Tiger to a meal.
Now that Gian is calling, it's highly likely he's calling me to eat.
He answered the phone, and soon Fat Tiger's voice came from the other end.
"Brother Jie, Brother Jie, where are you?"
"Brother Jie, are you back yet?"
Ma Junjie felt a strong sense of familiarity upon hearing Pang Hu's voice.
He answered easily,
"Gian, come out here right now!"
"Come to the residential area across the street. There's a Sichuan home-style restaurant there. I'll wait for you there!"
Gian cried out, "Ouch!"
"Great, Brother Jie, I've been waiting all day for you to say that!"
"Wait ten minutes, I'll be right there!"
"Hahaha!" Ma Junjie laughed.
"Okay, I'll buy you a roast chicken!"
The two hung up the phone.
Ma Junjie walked toward the restaurant he had visited before.
After walking for a few minutes, he arrived at the food street in the residential area.
The food street is lined with food stalls on both sides, and there are also many shops along the roadside where you can eat.
Ma Junjie bought a roast chicken from a roadside vendor, and then went back to the Sichuan restaurant he had eaten at before.
I found a seat, ordered food, and waited for Fat Tiger to come over.
Knowing that Pang Hu had a big appetite, Ma Junjie ordered a sauerkraut fish, a braised pig's head, and a stir-fried kidney and liver dish.
The proprietress watched from the side, worried that Ma Junjie wouldn't finish his food, and advised him...
"Handsome, if you're alone, don't order too much, you won't be able to finish it."
Ma Junjie looked up and smiled.
"Boss lady, I have another heavyweight in the back."
The proprietress smiled knowingly.
"Okay, then order these three. I'll give you one free!"
Ma Junjie laughed heartily.
"Thank you, ma'am!"
After saying that, the proprietress turned and went into the kitchen.
Ma Junjie looked at the roast chicken on the table, and couldn't help but drool.
He reached out, ready to break off a piece of wing to eat.
Just as he was about to reach out,
Suddenly the roast chicken "disappeared" and was taken away...
