44: Chapter 44 Dormitory Social Event
In his village, very few people had mobile phones, except for those who had gone out to work.
They basically all had a Xiaolingtong, which Sun Xu had touched before, but the phones in those people's hands were not as advanced as the one in Zhao Yang's hand.
"They're all rich second-generation kids!"
Sun Xu sighed slightly in his heart.
He silently packed his clothes, unable to help hiding some of the more worn-out things deeper into the wardrobe.
As if that way, his poverty wouldn't be discovered by others.
The three of Zhao Yang did not know what Sun Xu was thinking.
At this moment, Zhao Yang had already dialed Gu Qing's number.
"Hello, is this Gu Qing?"
"What's up? Uncle~"
Gu Qing's voice was still somewhat playful.
"Stop messing around. It's like this, I want to ask you something."
"Go ahead and ask!"
"My roommates originally wanted to say let's have dinner together tonight, but when I said I had a date with you, they asked if our two dormitories could have a mixer. It just so happens that we are all in the same biological sciences major, so it would be good for everyone to get to know each other. What do you think?"
Hearing Zhao Yang's words, Gu Qing hesitated slightly.
"Wait a second, let me ask my roommates for their opinions."
Gu Qing roughly explained the situation to her roommates.
"Oh, oh, oh, has our school beauty Gu been snatched away by a bad man just after entering school? The people at our school are probably going to be devastated!"
A girl next to her teased Gu Qing.
Gu Qing felt very helpless.
"I have no problem with it."
Another girl next to her smiled.
"Anyway, we are all in the same biological sciences major, and everyone will see each other once school starts, so it's good to get to know each other early!"
"I have no problem either."
"Alright then, I'll tell them that!"
Gu Qing said directly.
After saying that, Gu Qing picked up the phone.
"Did you hear that? It's okay, but where are we eating tonight?"
Gu Qing asked Zhao Yang curiously.
"There is a Taifeng Restaurant near our school, a twenty-year-old establishment. The food is pretty good, so let's eat there. It's over on College Road. We'll meet at the school gate, and I'll take you guys there."
Hearing Zhao Yang's words, not only was Gu Qing on the other end of the phone stunned.
His two roommates, other than Sun Xu, were also stunned.
Wang Mian and Li Tianqi looked at each other, their eyes full of curiosity.
How does it feel like Brother Yang knows this area so well?
"Okay, then we'll meet at the school gate at five this afternoon?"
"Yeah, we'll contact each other by phone then!"
After speaking, Zhao Yang hung up the phone.
Zhao Yang looked up at Wang Mian and Li Tianqi beside him.
"They agreed!"
"Brother Yang, how come you know the area around the school so well? Aren't you from Gan Province? I'm a Yanjing local, and even I don't know much about the area around Forestry University. This is just too..."
Wang Mian pushed up his black-rimmed glasses, his eyes full of curiosity as he looked at Zhao Yang beside him.
Zhao Yang shrugged.
"I've been here before and have eaten at this restaurant."
Zhao Yang wasn't lying; he really had been here before and had indeed eaten at Taifeng Restaurant.
It was just that he was talking about his previous life, which was ten years later.
"Alright then."
Although Wang Mian was still a bit suspicious, he didn't dwell on it.
At this moment, Zhao Yang cast his gaze at Sun Xu beside him.
"How about this, I'll treat everyone to dinner for the mixer tonight!"
Zhao Yang said to his three roommates with a smile.
In fact, Zhao Yang hadn't intended to be so generous. Although he had money, he couldn't just throw it away casually.
But he saw Sun Xu on the side.
To be honest, Sun Xu's family situation was obviously very poor, even without asking. Even if he had money, it probably wasn't much. If he were asked to go Dutch...
Sun Xu definitely wouldn't go; it would hurt his self-esteem too much.
Rather than that, it would be better to just say he was treating them.
"Ah Xu, come with us tonight! My treat!"
Zhao Yang said to Sun Xu on the side with a smile.
"Yeah! Ah Xu, Brother Yang is treating us tonight! We have to take this chance to really fleece him!"
Li Tianqi on the side said with a bit of excitement.
"No, no need."
Sun Xu hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.
"I can eat my fill on my own..."
Sun Xu didn't want to go eat with his roommates.
Although his roommate named Zhao Yang said he would treat them, Sun Xu still didn't want to go along.
After all, in Sun Xu's simple understanding, if someone treats you, you need to return the favor.
Taking advantage of others is not good; you have to pay it back!
This was what Sun Xu's mother had constantly reminded him of when he was a child.
Hearing Sun Xu's words, Wang Mian and Li Tianqi looked at each other, both of them revealing hesitant expressions.
Although they had guessed Sun Xu would be like this, they didn't expect...
"It's fine."
Zhao Yang smiled slightly.
"After all, it's the first day of school, just think of it as everyone having fun and making friends. My treat. I have no other intentions, I just want to make friends with everyone. Sun Xu, if you don't go, it means you're not giving me face and don't want to be friends with me, and I'll be very sad!"
"No, it's not that, I didn't..."
Sun Xu was a little panicked and wanted to explain something.
"Alright! Let's go together! We're all going to live together for four years! If you really feel bad about it, wait until you're making money. You can treat us back then! It's not a big deal!"
Zhao Yang looked at Sun Xu with a smile.
"Alright then..."
Sun Xu eventually couldn't argue with Zhao Yang and reluctantly agreed.
"Alright! Everyone, let's tidy up the dorm, and then when it's about time, we'll head out!"
Zhao Yang clapped his hands.
The few in the dorm quickly became excited.
Everyone started cleaning up the trash in the dorm.
Sun Xu worked the hardest.
Very quickly, the dorm was cleaned up.
It was almost five o'clock.
"Let's go!"
Without hesitation, Zhao Yang spoke directly.
The four from Dorm 207 left the dormitory together.
When they arrived at the school gate, it was exactly five o'clock, but the girls from the dormitory hadn't arrived yet.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Gu Qing arrived late with her three roommates.
"Sorry for keeping you waiting."
Gu Qing said to Zhao Yang apologetically.
At this moment, Gu Qing seemed to have taken a shower; she had changed from her dress into a pleated skirt similar to a JK uniform, looking youthful and beautiful.
The three roommates behind Zhao Yang all fixed their eyes on Gu Qing, their eyes staring straight.
"It's fine, it's only been ten minutes or so."
Zhao Yang smiled.
He glanced at the three roommates behind Gu Qing.
It had to be said that the other three roommates in Gu Qing's dorm, although their looks were indeed not as good as Gu Qing's, could still be considered to be in the "little beauty" level.
Each had their own merits; it seemed to be a proper dormitory of beauties.
Are there so many beauties studying Biology?
Zhao Yang was a little curious in his heart.
But he didn't say much more.
"Let's go! Let's head to the restaurant first!"
Zhao Yang said to everyone.
Under Zhao Yang's lead, the group quickly arrived at Taifeng Restaurant.
Seeing such a high-end restaurant, these people, who were still students, were all a bit uneasy, but Zhao Yang remained calm and composed.
