Double Life: My whole world is you

The four of them stood at the door of Jin Mantang. Wu Qi stood opposite Zhang Yandi and asked, "Shall we go in?"

"Go in!" Zhang Yandi replied calmly.

Cheng Qiao was going to stop them, but when she saw Zhang Yandi shaking his head at her, she said nothing and followed them. She thought, there were only four of them, and four or five dishes shouldn't be expensive. If Zhang Yandi didn't bring that much money, she had two hundred yuan in her pocket to help him out.

After they entered, Wu Qi said a few words to the front desk and was taken directly to the private room on the third floor. He took the menu and ordered six dishes without waiting for other people's reactions. When he was about to order more, Cheng Qiao couldn't sit still anymore and stood up to hold him, "It's more than enough for the four of us."

"Okay, let's have these six dishes." Wu Qi nodded politely, "And one more dish of your signature soup. For drinks, take a bottle of Coke and a bottle of milk. Also, a serving of after-meal fruit."

He said he had finished his instructions, and Cheng Qiao didn't say anything more. She just warned herself again in her heart to try to avoid eating with him in the future. This kid could easily eat her out of money with just one meal.

While waiting for the food to be served, Cheng Qiao first called Cheng's mother, then chatted with Feng Yanran for a few words, and saw Wu Qi sitting with his feet up and playing with his phone. Zhang Yandi was leaning back in his chair in a daze. So Cheng Qiao waved at Zhang Yandi and called out with a smile, "Yandi."

Zhang Yandi sat up straight and looked at her. At the same time, Wu Qi beside him also sat up straight unconsciously.

"After dinner, I'll take you to school to get familiar with it." Cheng Qiao said, "Are you planning to live on campus?"

Zhang Yandi shook his head. "I was just about to ask you, is there a house for rent near the school? Preferably, a cheap one."

"You're planning to rent a house outside?" Cheng Qiao was a little surprised. "Are you alone?"

"My dad comes over occasionally."

"Yan Di, why did you come to Xinghua?" Cheng Qiao looked into his eyes and asked seriously and solemnly.

Zhang Yandi hesitated for a while, he remembered the expression on Lin Qi's face when he was questioned by his head teacher yesterday after he was introduced to Xinghua. He smiled and explained that it was because he was too tired in No. 1 Middle School, and the study atmosphere in Xinghua was relaxed.

Lin Qi sneered and pointed it out, "You are because of her, right?!"

He smiled noncommittally, Lin Qi clenched his fists, and finally said one sentence before parting, "You are braver than me."

When he came to his senses and saw the person so close to him, he felt at ease and happy. But at this stage, companionship and learning are the most important things to her. So he suppressed his emotions, lowered his head slightly, touched his nose and explained, "My dad's work has temporarily encountered difficulties. I have a scholarship here at Xinghua, and I also have free time to work and study."

Cheng Qiao bit her lip and thought. She remembered that her father's copper mine developed well later. Could it be a problem at this stage? She did feel it was a pity that such an excellent seedling came to Xinghua from No. 1 Middle School. But Cheng Qiao knew that Zhang Yandi and she would not give up.

She looked up and consoled him, "Yan Di, everything will pass. Now that we are in Xinghua, we still have to study hard."

"Yeah, I know, I won't give up." He nodded vigorously.

Feng Yanran watched the conversation between the two, and felt even more distressed for the boy's experience. He was a top student who was directly admitted to No. 1 Middle School, but had to come to Xinghua due to family changes. He is really a poor handsome scholar! Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh slightly, "Alas!"

The three of them looked at her, and she smiled awkwardly at them. Cheng Qiao finally reacted and introduced her and Zhang Yandi to each other. Zhang Yandi didn't show much emotion, but just nodded politely. Feng Yanran happily followed Cheng Qiao and called out, "Yandi."

Soon, six dishes, a soup and fruit were served. Cheng Qiao looked at the beautifully cooked fish and shrimp and couldn't help but glare at Wu Qi. In her mind, she defined him as a rich second-generation who didn't know the sufferings of the world.

The four of them didn't eat, but drank drinks and ate dishes, chatting while eating. Of course, Cheng Qiao and Zhang Yandi were the ones chatting most of the time. No matter what Cheng Qiao said, Zhang Yandi could always keep up with her rhythm and respond a few words. Of course, what they talked about most was some interesting things in junior high school. Feng Yanran, who was standing by, was also listening carefully, and would laugh along when she heard the interesting things they said.

The most boring person was Wu Qi. He couldn't join in their conversation. And he didn't find it funny. He glanced at the others and saw that they were chatting enthusiastically. He stood up and paid the bill silently. Then he went back to the private room and poured himself a cup of Coke and drank it all. Seeing that the three people still didn't notice him, he helplessly crossed his legs and played with his phone again.

They ate and talked, and after more than an hour they put down their bowls and chopsticks. Zhang Yandi wiped his mouth and prepared to get up, "I'll go pay the bill."

"I'll go with you." Cheng Qiao drank the drink in the cup and quickly stood up and said.

Wu Qi stopped using his phone, rolled his eyes at them, and followed them out. He turned around and saw Feng Yanran still sitting there, so he said unhappily, "Follow me."

"Hmm? Okay." Feng Yanran quickly finished the watermelon in her hand and followed out.

At this time, the two had returned to the box. Zhang Yandi saw Wu Qi coming out and said, "Thank you Wu Qi for paying for me. I'll give you whatever you want."

"No need, just consider it my treat today." Wu Qi said and walked downstairs.

Zhang Yandi looked at Cheng Qiao with a question mark on his face. Cheng Qiao shook his head and said with a smile, "He doesn't speak very nicely, but he's a nice person. Just think of it as him welcoming you to come and treat you!"

"That's fine." Zhang Yandi nodded. "There's a lot of time to come."

The four of them took a taxi back to Xinghua Middle School. After getting off the taxi, Cheng Qiao thought, "Yan Di, there is a family opposite my house that rents out a house. Why don't you call and ask? It's just that the floor is a bit high, the ninth floor."

"The ninth floor!" Feng Yanran was shocked. "No elevator?"

"No." Cheng Qiao said quickly, "It's okay, I'll ask my mom and my aunt to keep an eye out for you."

Zhang Yandi hesitated for a while and said, "Coincidentally, the price of a staircase apartment should not be expensive. I'll go take a look first."

"Okay, we still have time, and it's not far. Let's go check it out and call and ask." Cheng Qiao looked at his watch and said, "I'll go with Yan Di to my house to check it out. Why don't you two go back to the classroom first?"

"There's nothing to do anyway, so I'll go with you!" Feng Yanran said.

Wu Qi said nothing and followed the three of them. Cheng Qiao introduced the surrounding buildings, shops and their community to Zhang Yandi as they walked. Zhang Yandi listened carefully and nodded from time to time.

After a while, the four of them stopped at the gate of Heyuan Community. They found the house for rent on the bulletin board next to the gate. At this time, there was only this house for rent on the bulletin board. The others were either job openings or advertisements...
