Meet again

  "Is that you?" Xǔ Níng Huán turned around, saw Dì Yǔ, tried to recall his name, and actually remembered it. She showed two cute dimples and sweetly smiled: "Dì Yǔ, long time no see."

  "Sorry, last time my phone fell and I forgot to call you!" Di Yu apologized with a smile. Xu Ninghuan was wearing a sky blue butterfly knot sleeveless dress today, revealing her white arms and legs, looking particularly refreshing. Di Yu praised: "This outfit matches your skin tone very well, your taste in buying clothes is much better than mine."

  Di Yu pointed at himself. He often wore clothes that blended in with the crowd, and he was always an inconspicuous figure who didn't stand out.

  Xu Ningxuan subtly pursed her lips and smiled. Women of any age not only like to be praised for their looks, but also like to be praised for their clothes. A woman's interest in and fondness for clothes is like a second skin, so they are particularly mindful of it. Praising their clothes as beautiful is also equivalent to praising their taste.

  Xu Ningxuan smiled and then looked puzzled, asking: "Why did you call me?"

  "Unbelievable! Last time I said I'd help you find a job and a place to live, but it turns out that was just my own wishful thinking. Alas, how heartbreaking!" Di Yu put on a heartbroken expression, but it was obvious he was faking it.

  Xu Ningxuan was amused by him and couldn't help but pat him on the back, saying: "Where did you get so serious? Thanks for remembering this anyway! I've already found a new job."

  "Really? Then congratulations to you." Di Yu couldn't help but admire her a bit. Last time, Xu Ninghuan had told him that she relied on herself for everything, from studying to eating, and never depended on her family members. This kind of independent personality was really respectable.

  "Work is no problem, but it's hard to find a house, and even if I do, it's very expensive. For now, I won't be able to afford it." Xǔ Níng Huán showed a hint of disappointment. Her current salary was less than half of what she earned at Qin Garden, so she had to be extremely frugal.

  "It seems it's my turn now!" Di Yu walked over and patted his chest, looking at Xu Ningxuan with a smile: "It just so happens that I have a friend who is abroad, and the house in Yanjing has been empty all along. Originally, he wanted me to help him take care of the house, but I've never had time to go over there. Now it's perfect, you're looking for a room, and he hopes someone can help him take care of the house. It's mutually beneficial, consider it?"

  "Really?" Xǔ Níng Huán excitedly stood up from in front of Dì Yǔ to his side, don't underestimate this subtle movement, her subconscious action was a further expression of the relationship between the two.

  "Of course it's true, I can take you to see the house anytime."

  "Go and see now!" Xu Ningxuan urged impatiently.

  "Now? I saw you wanted to go eat earlier, no need to rush, the house isn't going anywhere." Di Yu knew she had mentioned not liking the dormitory with several people living together, but he hadn't expected her to want to move out so much.

  Xu Ningxuan's face was slightly red, she hadn't had time to eat breakfast yet and was already hungry.

  "Let me treat you to lunch, it's just noon time, will you honor me with your presence, Miss Xu Ninghuan?" Di Yu smiled and invited.

  Xu Ningxuan hastily waved her hand and said, "Let me treat you instead. It's been such a long time, thanks for still remembering to help me find a house, I should be the one thanking you!"

  "Then I should also treat you to a meal as compensation for causing you to lose your job last time?"

  Di Yu finished speaking, and the two of them had different opinions about a meal. After their eyes exchanged a playful glance, they both burst out laughing at the same time.

  "Let's just eat at this beef noodle place, no need to argue anymore. Whatever happened before we ate is forgotten, and we're truly friends, so isn't that enough?"

  Di Yu pointed to where the two were standing, next to that noodle shop, a bowl of noodles didn't need to worry about who would pay.

  Xu Ningxuan felt a bit embarrassed, thinking that the first time she met Di Yu, he was having dinner with his friends at the famous Qin Garden, while she had to settle for eating at a small noodle shop, and her heart wasn't at ease.

  "Hey, you don't think I'm that kind of rich guy who can take you to Qin Garden for a meal, do you? Look at me, even if I sold myself, it wouldn't be enough to eat a meal in a place like that." Di Yu had long since figured out that Xu Ninghuan had some aversion to truly wealthy people, and he was fairly good at guessing what she was thinking. He spoke with great skill.

  As expected, Xu Ningxuan smiled happily and walked into the small noodle restaurant with Di Yu. Even though they hadn't eaten yet, her demeanor already treated Di Yu as a friend.

  He is humorous in speech and reliable in action. Especially when it comes to Xu Ningxuan's affairs, he shows such sadness, this kind of opposite sex can gain a good impression.

  "Boss, two bowls of beef noodles! One with extra serving—" Di Yu shouted to the uncle who was cooking the noodles.

  "Di Yu, wait a minute, I'm busy." The boss replied.

  "Huh? You know the owner of this noodle shop?" Xu Ningxuan looked at Di Yu curiously.

  "Hehe, I'm a regular here! The boss is my friend." Di Yu said and shouted to the chef who was cooking noodles: "Lao Chang, remember to add more beef!"

  "I want less meat and more noodles, and I also want a larger serving!" Xǔ Níng Huán shouted along with them, then blushed and smiled.

  "Do you want more too? Looking at your delicate appearance, can you even eat it?" Di Yu asked curiously.

  "Of course I can eat it! My appetite is huge——" Xu Ningxuan patted her belly, but unfortunately, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't make it protrude, and felt a bit embarrassed.

  When the boss brought up two bowls of beef noodles that were three to four times the normal serving size, Xu Jingxuan's eyes widened in shock!

  She had never encountered a restaurant that increased the amount of food so much, was this for humans to eat or to feed... pigs? Xu Ningxuan didn't dare think about it anymore, her face red and her head lowered, not daring to look at Di Yu.

  Di Yu burst out laughing and said: "Can you still eat now? Lao Chang is my good friend for many years, he knows I have a big appetite, but he thought your appetite was as big as mine! Haha!"

  "You're still smiling!!" Xǔ Níng Huán fiercely stared at Dì Yǔ.

  The owner of the noodle shop, who was busy, walked over with a kind smile and said: "Huh? Di Yu, is there something wrong with today's noodles? Doesn't it suit you and your girlfriend's taste buds? Do you want me to remake them?"

  "No need! Old Chang, you go busy yourself, we'll handle it ourselves." Di Yu said a sentence, the boss nodded and smiled at Xu Ninghua before turning around to leave. Xu Ninghua originally wanted to explain that she wasn't Di Yu's girlfriend, but the person had already walked far away.

  Xu Ningxuan asked Di Yu: "You seem to be quite familiar with the boss here?"

  Di Yu nodded and said, "I've known him for a few years, Lao Chang is a good person." Lao Chang was one of Di Yu's targets on a mission, but Di Yu didn't kill him, instead he helped him out of trouble. So Lao Chang has always been very grateful to Di Yu. In other words, Lao Chang is also the only person outside the organization who knows a bit about Di Yu's background.

  Xu Ningxuan saw such a large bowl of beef noodles and really didn't know how to start eating. Di Yu smiled, picked up some with his chopsticks into his own bowl, and asked: "Is this enough?"

  "Uh-huh." Xu Ningxuan nodded repeatedly, very satisfied with Di Yu's thoughtfulness.
