Chapter Eight, Barbecue.

Fang Jingya was somewhat unhappy, but still obediently followed her elder brother. This left Ding Zhuo and Meng Yao. After standing for a while, Ding Zhuo said: "Then I will take you home"

Meng Yao, of course, felt embarrassed to trouble him. "No need, I'll take the subway too."

An ordinary second-tier university, underperformed in the college entrance examination, originally intended to attend Dancheng University

Meng Yao nodded slightly, yet felt unsatisfied, and could not help but take another bite, "It is still quite flavorful"

Do you want potato chips

Point it out

Meng Yao turned her head to look out the window, her tone still very calm: "I grew up with Man Zhen, and now that something has happened to her, I am still full of life. Aunt Chen naturally finds it hard to get over that mental hurdle, and..." She paused, hesitating a bit.

Ding Zhuo seemed to pause for a moment, turning his head to glance at her.

After waiting for approximately ten minutes, Ding Zhuo walked out of the building, carrying two bags in his hands

Meng Yao glanced around the small shop, which was reasonably tidy. Outside, wisps of white smoke rose from the charcoal fire, and the night breeze carried the aroma of cumin in waves.

The air fell silent for a moment, and a subtle emotion suddenly arose in Meng Yao's heart

This job is good

Sometimes, Meng Yao feels that her sadness seems to lack any qualification in the eyes of others. She has always been reluctant to expose her true thoughts to anyone, because outsiders, after hearing her, either think it is a trivial matter, questioning whether it is worth lamenting over, or they have long harbored dissatisfaction towards her, and naturally, their empathy towards her sadness is merely superficial, while secretly reveling in her misfortune. Even the most empathetic individuals can only offer a few words of condolence, unable to express anything more powerful. Therefore, rather than confiding in others, she would rather believe that only time can take her away from this island of solitude

People from Dancheng don't like to go to this place, mostly because they find it obstructive.

Meng Yao also smiled

Meng Yao's shoes have very thin uppers. After walking a few steps, sand runs into the shoes, forcing her to stop.

Meng Yao first tasted a piece of potato, unexpectedly found it very spicy, and coughed.

Even so, after the play ended, there were still many people inquiring about him.

Maybe you shouldn't bother to give me a ride. I'll just take the subway.

There was a moment of silence.

From here, to go to the residential area where Meng Yao lives, you need to pass by Dancheng Medical University. If Ding Zhuo takes her back, he will have to turn back again.

Ding Zhuo stood still, obviously intending to wait for her.

I am not sure whether the meat here is clean or not

Is the copywriting market saturated now? It seems that the salaries are not very high either

He walked over, opened the backseat door, put the bag inside, "Mooncakes and cured sausages, take them and enjoy."

What is Meng Yao's occupation?" asked Fang Jingya again.

To be honest, I did not eat much for dinner

Further down from the embankment, there is a stretch of beach

However, today, Meng Yao finally felt that she was beginning to truly understand him: he sat in this not-so-clean barbecue restaurant, drinking beer and eating skewers, filled with the atmosphere of smoke and fire

And what?

Later, the affected costume he wore transformed into a white coat, yet he still maintained an air of aloofness that kept others at a distance

Fang Jinghang grew impatient, "Let's hurry and leave, I still need to go back and study."

Ding Zhuo asked: "Where did you attend university in the capital?"

Meng Yao opened the window, resting her elbows on it, as the wind blew in, carrying a hint of moisture in the air

Isn't a surgeon a promising career?

Once, he could not bear to see the expressions of pain on the faces of the living, and now he finds it even harder to endure. Therefore, at times, he wonders if he has chosen the wrong profession

The potatoes are roasted quite well here; we can order a few more skewers

Hello

How long to simmer

Ding Zhuo's meaning is to send them back one by one. Fang Jinghang waved his hand and said, "It's so congested, it's taking forever to drive. We'd be faster on bicycles. Let's take the subway back." As he spoke, he pulled his sister's arm.

Perhaps it is the loneliness of being in a foreign land, or perhaps it is something else, I couldn't help but softly say: "Aunt Chen doesn't really want to see me"

Half an hour later, the vehicle passed by Dancheng Medical University

Meng Yao couldn't help but smile for a moment, "Thank you"

That requires endurance

Fang Jinghang could no longer bear it and said, "Are you checking household registration?"

One is the deceased's lover, and the other is the deceased's close friend. At this moment, the silence that lies between the two seems to be a rare and long-awaited soothing comfort.

Meng Yao said lightly: "It's fine"

Ding Zhuo would not allow her to be polite, and turned around to say, "Let's go"

You are doing well now, which is certainly better than studying medicine

In this regard, Ding Zhuo is the same as her

A table of six people was seated in the store, loudly chatting and drinking, while two individuals chose a spot far away from that table to sit down.

The car drove out of the campus, passing through a street shrouded in mist.

Ding Zhuo asked her, "How is your work going now"

I do not have a strong tolerance for alcohol, so I will just have one can

Ding Zhuo opened a beer and handed it to her, while Meng Yao took a sip from the cold can.

It is hard to say. Is your company working overtime? Why aren't you going home to celebrate the festival

Meng Yao quickly knocked the sand out of her shoes and said, "Let's go"

Meng Yao first met Ding Zhuo in the first year of high school, at that time Ding Zhuo was in the third year of high school

Meng Yao was neither distant nor overly warm, providing brief answers to her questions

Finally, he asked: "Would you like to drink beer?"

Good

Ding Zhuo brought Meng Yao into a barbecue restaurant, "The taste here is quite good"

It is fine, you may go ahead.

Fang Jingya, who was standing nearby, naturally disagreed: "It's still early, let's stroll a bit more!"

"Treat a dead horse as if it were alive, let's give it a try. Moreover, we will submit the proposal to Party A, and once they pay the final payment, whether it ultimately succeeds or not, we will not be held responsible."

Ding Zhuo quickly poured her a glass of water and said, "I forgot to ask if you can eat spicy food"

Tall phoenix trees are densely planted nearby, and in the night, the shadows of the trees are profound

Then I will not be polite

Arriving at the building for the doctor's degree, Ding Zhuo opened the double jump doors, got out of the car, and said to Meng Yao, "Please wait for me for a moment."

Ding Zhuo glanced into the mirror and saw Meng Yao staring out the window. "Are you hungry? How about having a late-night snack?"

Meng Yao finished ordering what she wanted to eat and handed the menu to Ding Zhuo

Meng Yao sighed

If you can't stand it, just eat something else

The four individuals walked slowly along the riverbank, and Fang Jingya seemed to be filled with curiosity about Meng Yao, asking questions intermittently along the way

Whether one can be admitted to Renmin University is uncertain

Ding Zhuo picked up a skewer of lamb, and Meng Yao couldn't help but glance up at him.

It used to come more often

Where is Meng Yu planning to go

No one spoke

Go and get something

Meng Yao smiled and said, "His grades are better than mine, his mindset is also better than mine, and he should have a brighter future than I do."

Fang Jinghang smiled and said: "Hello, my name is Fang Jinghang, and I am a classmate of Ding Zhuo"

Ding Zhuo possesses a certain aura that invariably draws people in, compelling them to steal a few extra glances at him; this was true in the past and remains so today

Subsequently, the two discussed and ordered leeks, green peppers, eggplants, and tofu skin.

Do you often eat here

Meng Yao is certainly not foolish; Fang Jingya's curiosity about her is mostly due to Ding Zhuo.

Meng Yao was in a daze, somewhat taken aback, "What?"

As we were speaking, the barbecue was served

Meng Yao frowned and did not respond

It is going well, I have recently been working on the planning for the Silver Star Building

Ding Zhuo asked: "Do you not eat meat?"

Meng Yao smiled faintly and said, "I don't really want to go back"

The road has become smoother than before, and vehicles can barely pass through

When it comes to eating out, don't overthink it; if we are to talk about cleanliness, nowhere is truly clean

She asked, "Do you have to work during the holidays as well?"

Is it possible to achieve this

Meng Yao smiled faintly and shook her head

Meng Yao thought for a moment and wrote an "8" in the back grid

There should not be any major issues

Ding Zhuo noticed it as well, and also stopped, asking, "What happened?"

Meng Yao felt somewhat helpless and could only follow behind him

Is Zoucheng fun to visit? I have not been there yet

After a while, Ding Zhuo spoke up: "Just like you."

Fang Jingya pursed her lips and said nothing further; she quickened her pace and walked ahead.

Meng Yao was puzzled: "What happened?"

It is edible, but it is a bit too spicy.

Ding Zhuo laughed and said, "Let's cut 1,000 appendices and 1,000 gallbladders."

Ding Zhuo tore off a few pieces of paper, wiped the table, and asked the boss for the menu, allowing Meng Yao to place the order

The car is very quiet, and one can faintly hear the sound of fireworks bursting outside.

The school held a New Year's Eve party, and he played a knight, dressed in medieval attire, with a sword at his waist. He had few lines, only three sentences in total, and after delivering them, he stood aside, staring blankly, with a nearly expressionless face throughout the performance

Ding Zhuo found a place to park, got out of the car with Meng Yao, and walked towards the food street. The entire street was lined with snack shops and stalls in close succession.

Copywriting planning

Meng Yao smiled, "Indeed, it all depends on who can deceive better"

"Fellow townsman, Meng Yao"

After Meng Yao finished speaking, she suddenly felt a bit regretful

Ding Zhuo said lightly: "As a doctor, I have witnessed many partings of life and death, but when it falls upon oneself, it is still completely different"

Meng Yao smiled and said, "That is why we need to bring people over"

Ding Zhuo handed the ordered menu to the boss

Four people are walking up the stairs

Ding Zhuo simply ordered 6 skewers of lamb and 6 skewers of crispy bones

"It's nothing." Ding Zhuo suddenly stepped on the brake and turned the steering wheel to drive the car into the campus

Fang Jinghang and Fang Jingya finished the sky lanterns, and when they turned around, they noticed that there was an additional person beside Ding Zhuo. They walked over to greet him, "Lao Ding, this is ... ... "

Fang Jingya squinted her eyes slightly as she looked at Meng Yao for a moment, then smiled and said, "Why not take a stroll together?"

Meng Yao smiled and said, "It seems that there are such places near universities across the country"

After returning from Man Zhen's funeral, the mentor had once offered him some comforting words, a series of reasoning that he listened to, yet not a single word was absorbed.

Meng Yao asked, "Do you want to eat?"

Ding Zhuo glanced at her feet, then raised his wrist to check his watch, saying, "Shall we go up? It's about time."

The road is still somewhat congested, with the vehicle moving intermittently, and it is only after leaving this section that traffic gradually becomes smoother

Meng Yao watched as Ding Zhuo's figure entered the Doctor's Degree building, then turned to look around. This area of dormitory buildings was quite old, appearing to be at least twenty years in age
