Chapter 514: Chapter 342: Pleasure Boat_3
Wang Yong grew up in a large courtyard and knew a bit about the ways of the world. He wouldn’t have come into contact with someone like Lin Zida, but since they were in neighboring classes at the same school, the connection had been made.
Lin Zida felt somewhat tempted; he had originally been playing video games at home, but then his aunt, Lin Han, had warned him not to stay at home, forcing him to go out.
Wang Yong led the way. "This way."
He took a group of people to the lakeside in the park, spent 300 yuan to rent a boat, and then, gritting his teeth, ordered a large portion of the Supreme Fruit Platter for 250 yuan.
Wang Yong’s heart ached; although his family’s financial situation was decent, spending several hundred yuan still hurt.
Li Shi glanced at the fruit platter with a bit of disdain. "Is there anything better?"
Boss Li smiled, renting a boat wasn’t cheap, and his customers were usually not short of money.
"Duran? One is over 300?"
He pointed to a pile of durian in the corner. "Imported, and the taste is top-notch."
Wang Yong’s wallet was screaming.
Lin Zida couldn’t stand the smell. "No, no, thanks."
Li Shi gave up.
Boss Li asked again, "How about the braised meat platter? One serving for 188. It comes from the kitchen of Yuzhou’s leading company, Changqing Liquid Company."
Mentioning Changqing Liquid straightened his back and filled him with pride.
Wang Yong’s heart was bleeding. "We’ll take the supreme version."
When it came time to pay, Wang Yong generously pulled out his wallet.
Lin Zida stopped him, laughing. "The last time it was your turn; let me handle it this time."
There was no need for him to take advantage of such small savings.
...
Jiang Ning was fishing, Xue Yuantong was netting fish, and Xue Chuchu was rowing; each person occupied with their duties, creating a peaceful scene.
"Don’t fall in," Xue Chuchu worried, as Tongtong’s half body leaned dangerously out of the boat.
She had moved from being initially scared to now completely fearless of water.
Xue Yuantong netted for about fifteen minutes and didn’t even catch a fish’s shadow.
Jiang Ning had already caught two carps.
Xue Yuantong felt drained both physically and mentally. She found a spot to sit down, took out her phone, and noticed a message alert.
Someone had tagged her in the chat group, but so many messages had been posted, she couldn’t see who tagged her.
During the May Day holiday, everyone was idle, so they chatted in the group.
Dan Kaiquan and Dong Qingfeng were at odds with each other, discussing car companies from various countries, which led to an analysis of the international situation; they spoke with authority.
Yu Wen and Wang Longlong occasionally chimed in; the group was lively.
At that moment, Lu Qiqi suddenly posted several messages:
"I’m so mad!"
"I’m so mad!"
Yu Wen, caring for her sister, asked, "Qiqi, what’s wrong?"
Lu Qiqi sent a long string of messages explaining that during the May Day holiday, she and her high school boyfriend had gone out to eat, and he only prepared one meal, which left her disappointed and unsatisfied.
Yu Wen wanted to send a supportive message but held back because the class monitor was in the group and she didn’t want to damage her image.
She stayed silent, and Pang Jiao jumped in, shaking the group chat:
"If it was my boyfriend, I’d slap the meal on his face!"
It was clear that Pang Jiao was furious. 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
Cui Yu mocked, "You’d need to have a boyfriend first."
Pang Jiao retorted, "Cui Yu, do you have a death wish?"
Cui Yu, who had recently been acting lofty, totally ignored her.
Jiang Yanan and others supported Lu Qiqi, and for a while, the group was filled with comforting messages and disparaging comments about the boy.
The male classmates in the group remained silent, not wanting to stir up trouble.
Lu Qiqi was still angry. "He doesn’t care about the holidays at all, I’m so mad!"
Suddenly, Ma Shicheng chimed in, "Is it because it’s a holiday and you wanted to give your boyfriend a gift, but he refused, so you’re angry?"
At that, the mood in the group shifted immediately.
Yu Wen retorted, "Ma Shicheng, it’s the girls’ conversation, what’s it to you?"
Yang Sheng added, "Is it because it’s Labor Day and your boyfriend didn’t go to work, which made you angry?"
