MTL - Taoist Master and the Cat-Chapter 14
It was almost half past eleven after watching the movie.
Cheng Yue wants to invite everyone to eat hot pot at a nearby hot pot restaurant: "We were admitted to No. 1 Middle School together. My mother was very happy and gave me 1,000 yuan in the morning to let us celebrate."
Feng Xiaoyu: "Auntie is so kind, then we will not be polite!"
Cheng Yue: "You're welcome, you're welcome, let's go with each other, let's go, it will take about ten minutes to walk there."
The girls walked in front, Xie Jingyuan and Lin Xi came last, one was cold and the other was quiet, there was nothing embarrassing about it.
When we arrived at the hot pot restaurant, Cheng Yue asked for a box.
The air conditioner is turned on in the box, and eating hot pot in the air-conditioned room is the best.
There were eight seats at the round table, but the waiter moved two of them.
Su Miaomiao was the first to pick a chair, but she didn't pick one, she just sat down casually.
Xie Jingyuan sat second, on Su Miaomiao's left.
Feng Xiaoyu still occupied the position on Su Miaomiao's right.
Cheng Yue sat on the other side of Xie Jingyuan as if nothing had happened.
Neither Lin Xi nor Zhou Yao chose, and the remaining two positions are similar.
The waiter brought three menus, Su Miaomiao and Feng Xiaoyu ordered together, Zhou Yao and Lin Xi shared one.
Cheng Yue put the menu on Xie Jingyuan's side, and just about to ask Xie Jingyuan to order, Xie Jingyuan said indifferently: "Su Miaomiao will help me order."
He understood what the little girl was thinking, but Xie Jingyuan didn't want her to go further and further down this fruitless wrong path.
At the age of fifteen or sixteen, you should focus on your studies and not be distracted by love, let alone fall in love with him.
Xie Jingyuan didn't even look at Cheng Yue, his cold face turned slightly towards Su Miaomiao.
Su Miaomiao, who was named, looked over and saw Cheng Yue's embarrassing appearance with a hot face and a cold butt.
Su Miaomiao was too familiar with this embarrassment.
Thinking back when she was just captured by Xie Jingyuan and taken to Qingxu Temple, in order to show her loyalty to Xie Jingyuan and prove that she was a reformed cat demon, Su Miaomiao specially hand-copied a scripture and dedicated it to Xie Jingyuan. In the end, Xie Jingyuan still had that cold look, staring at her and asked: "Didn't I say that you are not allowed to transform into a human form in the temple?"
Su Miaomiao excused aggrievedly: "I did it to copy scriptures..."
Xie Jingyuan: "Copying scriptures is not acceptable either."
So, according to Su Miaomiao's experience, no one needs to think about flattering Xie Jingyuan, he will not appreciate it at all, and there is no need to please, Xie Jingyuan is a cold-faced and kind-hearted person, if you need help, just ask That is, as long as he can help, this person will basically not refuse. Of course, outsiders can't ask too much. For example, if a poor man asks Xie Jingyuan for a meal, Xie Jingyuan will give it to him. If the poor asks Xie Jingyuan to give him a hundred taels of silver, that is just a dream.
"He is a vegetarian, just give him a few vegetables, such as spinach, lettuce, basil, and potatoes, he doesn't choose."
After Su Miaomiao finished speaking casually, she tilted her head and continued to choose meat dishes with Feng Xiaoyu.
Cheng Yue lowered her head, her face was still a little pale, no matter how thin-skinned she was, she would definitely cry a lot after being swept up in such a way.
Cheng Yue likes Xie Jingyuan, but Xie Jingyuan doesn't like her at all.
She has always fantasized about being the heroine in Xie Jingyuan's love life, but she feels more and more that she is more like a poor and infatuated female lead in an idol drama, who can only watch the indifferent male lead make various special actions towards the female lead. He treats her like air.
Hey, I would be unwilling to lose to someone else, but that person is Su Miaomiao.
Su Miaomiao is prettier than her, she is better at studying than her, and she is inseparable from Xie Jingyuan as childhood sweethearts, she has no hope at all.
Cheng Yue was a little sad, but fortunately, the feelings of a fifteen-year-old girl were not so deep-rooted, and Cheng Yue quickly turned her grief into appetite.
Waiter: "Well, did you order too much? You can remove a few items and eat first, and add more dishes if you don't have enough."
It is shameful to waste food, and the clerks in hot pot restaurants have also been trained to properly remind customers to reduce food.
Zhou Yao also persuaded Cheng Yue: "Let's order a few less. Xie Jingyuan doesn't eat meat, so there is one less boy. How can the five of us eat so much?"
Only then did Cheng Yue remove a few duplicates.
The waiter walked away with the menu.
Feng Xiaoyu looked around and sighed: "Although all six of us were admitted to the No. 1 Middle School, I heard that the No. 1 Middle School last year was divided into 24 classes, and we probably have to disperse."
Cheng Yue: "We're divided, we're not all in the same class for three years in junior high school."
After saying this, everyone looked at Xie Jingyuan and Su Miaomiao.
Feng Xiaoyu was also very curious: "Why are you two always in the same class? From kindergarten to third grade, you are still at the same table!"
Su Miaomiao felt guilty.
Of course, there is a reason for being together all the time, that is, my father thought that she would only study hard if she was in the same class as Xie Jingyuan, so he specially invited acquaintances from the school to help arrange it.
However, mom and dad said that this approach is inappropriate. If every parent goes to the teacher to ask for class placement, the teachers will have a headache, so she is not allowed to speak out.
Dad can only interfere with the class division, and Xie Jingyuan's request is for the deskmate. This guy wants to keep an eye on her and forbid her to sleep late in class.
"Probably fate." Su Miaomiao said old-fashionedly.
Her fate means that the cat demon confuses mortals and is captured by Taoist priests, and then has to be obedient for the rest of her life.
Cheng Yue and Lin Xi automatically understood it as "fate".
Feng Xiaoyu almost spit out a mouthful of Coke, and looked at Su Miaomiao in disbelief: "Don't you say you are not in love, and now you are willing to admit it?"
Su Miaomiao: "You don't understand, it has nothing to do with being in love."
Feng Xiaoyu: "What does fate mean?"
Su Miaomiao thought for a while, and explained as simple as possible: "I offended him by doing something wrong in my previous life, so I will always be under his control in this life."
It's too profound and complicated, Feng Xiaoyu really doesn't understand.
Cheng Yue observed Xie Jingyuan secretly, seeing Xie Jingyuan's face was always cold, the little flame in his heart jumped a few times again.
Needless to say, Xie Jingyuan didn't really seem to like Su Miaomiao, he was more like a serious elder brother who not only had to take care of Su Miaomiao, but also criticized and disciplined him in various ways.
Here come the hot pot side dishes.
Fifteen or sixteen-year-old students, even if they have childish and superficial feelings in their hearts, they will not be entangled in them when eating.
The four-compartment hot pot was steaming, Cheng Yue was busy fighting with Su Miaomiao and Feng Xiaoyu while taking care of the introverted Zhou Yao.
Lin Xi ate his own food quietly, with a combination of meat and vegetables, and his movements were graceful.
He is elegant, and Xie Jingyuan is extraordinary and refined. He uses a clear soup pot and puts a few slices of vegetables in it from time to time.
Cheng Yue couldn't help asking: "You don't eat meat at home?"
Can I grow so tall without eating meat?
Xie Jingyuan cooked the dishes silently.
Su Miaomiao answered for him: "He ate it when he was a child, but his temper became more and more stubborn when he grew up, and grandma can't control him. Milk and eggs are the most meaty things he is willing to eat."
Feng Xiaoyu: "So you call him Daoist?"
Su Miaomiao: "...um."
She put a few slices of fat cattle in, and said to Xie Jingyuan: "The Taoist chief will help me look at it, don't let them **** it."
Cheng Yue: "It's too much, everyone is fighting for food according to their own ability, why can you invite foreign aid?"
Su Miaomiao thought to herself, of course since she is a cat of the Qingxu Conception, Xie Jingyuan not only has the right to control her, but also has the obligation to take care of her!
Xie Jingyuan seemed to be immersed in his own world, as if he hadn't heard the girls' twittering. However, noticing that Cheng Yue and Feng Xiaoyu were about to pick up all the fat beef in the spicy pot, Xie Jingyuan still picked up the serving chopsticks and put the remaining The next two slices were put into Su Miaomiao's bowl, and at this moment, Su Miaomiao was still eating the fish slices carefully.
Cheng Yue saw this scene in his eyes, and the little flame in his heart dimmed a bit.
Xie Jingyuan's indifference towards Su Miaomiao was real, but it was really natural to take care of her, as if the two of them were born together.
Cry, she also wants such a bamboo horse!
After eating the hot pot, the party will be over.
Cheng Yue can just go back to the villa. Lin Xi has moved from near the kindergarten and has to wait for the bus at another bus stop.
Su Miaomiao didn't want to squeeze the bus, so she winked at Xie Jingyuan: "Let's take a taxi."
Xie Jingyuan was noncommittal, and waved for an empty green leather taxi.
The taxi stopped by the side of the road, and Xie Jingyuan sat in the passenger seat.
Su Miaomiao, Feng Xiaoyu, and Zhou Yao sat behind.
They all lived near the kindergarten, and when the driver asked for the destination, Xie Jingyuan reported the address of the kindergarten.
As the car drove, Feng Xiaoyu said with emotion: "Kindergarten, I still remember the day when we first started school, and we were going to high school in the blink of an eye. By the way, Miaomiao, when will you move to a new house? The new house should be decorated, right? "
Su Miaomiao: "Well, it was renovated last year, and my mother said to take advantage of the hot weather to ventilate it for two months, and then move in before school starts."
Feng Xiaoyu: "I really envy you all. It will be so convenient to go to school in the future. My mother is going to arrange accommodation for me, so I won't waste time traveling back and forth."
Zhou Yao: "I also stay."
Feng Xiaoyu's eyes lit up, and he took her hand and said, "It would be great if we could be assigned to a dormitory."
Zhou Yao looked at her and smiled. She thought Feng Xiaoyu didn't like her, but now she doesn't think so anymore.
Su Miaomiao has seen the dormitories in TV dramas, those beds are too small, and there are several people in each dormitory, if her parents want her to stay, she will definitely be angry.
Fortunately, she is not a cat that likes to take the initiative to talk, and she always thinks about her thoughts in her heart, otherwise she would definitely be criticized by Feng Xiaoyu when she interjected that she hated the dormitory at this time.
Feng Xiaoyu: "Did you have any plans for such a long vacation? My father asked me to help in the supermarket and gave me a salary of one thousand yuan a month. It's really stingy."
Zhou Yao smiled and said: "An aunt in our community knew that I was admitted to the No. 1 Middle School, and asked me to help their students who were promoted to the second year of junior high school. It costs 20 yuan an hour, two hours a day, and it costs about a month. More than a thousand."
Feng Xiaoyu: "You are the best, I have to work eight hours a day, no, I have to raise the price with my dad."
The driver was amused by her: "How happy you are now, like when we were young, we could only pick up scrap iron and plastic and sell them for a few cents."
Su Miaomiao listened and suddenly sighed.
In comparison, her previous life was really miserable.
As a wild cat, she has no way to earn money, so she can only go to the people's houses to steal fish and meat, and she is often chased and beaten.
After finally cultivating adults, they can find a job in a brothel that includes food and lodging, which can speed up their cultivation, but Xie Jingyuan arrested him before opening the business!
Infected by Feng Xiaoyu and Zhou Yao's careerism, Su Miaomiao said to Xie Jingyuan after getting out of the taxi and walking side by side to the Wenxin Community, "Master Daoist, I also want to make money."
Xie Jingyuan: "How do you make money?"
Su Miaomiao: "I don't know, tell me, should I help in my mother's hospital, or in my father's company?"
Xie Jingyuan: "You can't get into the hospital. Uncle's side gets up at seven every day and can't sleep during the day. Can you persevere?"
Su Miaomiao said without thinking, "I can't."
Xie Jingyuan: ...
