Chapter 185
"Thank you, Master~"
Although Qinyang International is not far from Xiaozhai, by the time Jiang Cheng jumped off the motorcycle, it was already past 12:30.
He ran all the way and rushed directly into the "Shijing Hotpot" opposite the Conservatory of Music.
"Jiang~Cheng~! Here! Here!"
As soon as he ran into the lobby of the hotpot restaurant with his swollen belly, he heard Ling Ruonan's light and lovely crisp voice.
Following the voice, he saw a short-haired girl wearing a light green hooded sweater standing in front of a booth in the corner of the hall and waving at him.
Her best friend Liu Na was sitting behind her, but she had a stern face at this time and looked quite unhappy.
"Sorry, sorry, I was delayed by something and came late."
Jiang Cheng walked over quickly and apologized repeatedly.
"It's okay, I'm just about 40 minutes late."
Liu Na patted the phone on the table and said angrily.
As Ling Ruonan's best friend and Liu Yijie's girlfriend, she certainly knew the "special" relationship between Ling Ruonan and Jiang Cheng.
Out of her indignation for her best friend's silent efforts, she naturally didn't have a good face for Jiang Cheng.
In Liu Na's opinion, Ling Ruonan was a pure love-brained person.
In terms of appearance, Ling Ruonan was definitely a school beauty, and her personality was first-class gentle and well-behaved. There were a lot of boys chasing her in the school, so how could she be caught by a scumbag like Jiang Cheng?
—— I don't know what else is good about this boy besides being handsome!
It's really infuriating!
"Hehe~ No~"
Ling Ruonan hurriedly smiled and tried to smooth things over: "Jiang Cheng, we just arrived not long ago, and the food has just been served~"
"Oh... OK... OK~"
Jiang Cheng glanced at Liu Na who rolled her eyes angrily, and sat down next to Ling Ruonan honestly.
——Anyway, I was late first, so I should admit my mistake.
"Jiang Cheng~"
As soon as I sat down, Ling Ruonan came over like a little bird: "You are from Sichuan, right? Today I specially ordered Sichuan and Chongqing spicy hot pot for you~ Do you like it?"
"Like, like..."
"Yeah~ I don't know what you like to eat as side dishes, so I just ordered tripe, tender beef, duck intestines, crispy meat, brain flower..."
Jiang Cheng:......
Looking at the boiling red soup with a strong butter aroma in front of him, and a table full of dishes, Jiang Cheng kept rubbing his stomach, trying his best to suppress the urge to burp.
Stomach brother! You will suffer for a while!
After the matter is over, whether it is the fourth uncle or Xie Tingfeng, you can eat as much as you want!
Although I have made full mental preparations as above.
But when it came time to eat, Jiang Cheng suddenly realized that he had underestimated how much Ling Ruonan doted on him.
"Jiang Cheng, the fried dough sticks are delicious, try some~"
"Wow~ the beef is so tender~ give~ some more~"
"Huh? So the crispy meat is cooked before eating? Jiang Cheng, you are so good, you know so much~"
"Don't just eat meat, you have to eat some vegetables too~"
"Jiang Cheng, why is your face so red? Is it spicy? Hurry up and drink a sip of watermelon juice~"
Jiang Cheng: ヾ(≧O≦)〃
"Ahem... Ling Ruonan!"
Liu Na, who was sitting alone across from the hot pot table, coughed in displeasure.
"You should probably also care about my best friend. She hasn't eaten anything yet!"
"Hmm?" Ling Ruonan blinked and tilted her head and said, "Nana, didn't you just say you wanted to lose weight? I thought you didn't want to eat."
"Ah--I really lost to you!"
Looking at her best friend's innocent and pitiful expression, Liu Na sighed and covered her face with her hands.
--I am also cheap. I don't eat in the cafeteria for no reason. What's the point of following Ling Ruonan, a love-brained person, to make a living!
I didn't eat anything in the hot pot, but I was fed a lot of dog food! Damn!
Thinking of this, Liu Na clenched the phone in her hand tightly.
She tried her best to resist the strong urge to call her boyfriend Liu Yijie and scold him angrily.
Who the hell asked your good brother to hook up with my best friend!
......
When this Sichuan and Chongqing spicy hot pot was finished, the whole table of plates was almost piled in front of Jiang Cheng.
He felt that his stomach and throat were filled with food, with almost no space. He slumped in the booth with his round belly and didn't want to move.
He was afraid that if he was not careful, Brother Wei would be unhappy and he would perform a fancy fountain in public.
"Xiao Nan, it's almost time, we should go!"
Liu Na was angryHengheng glanced at Jiang Cheng and said to Ling Ruonan who was rubbing Jiang Cheng's belly.
"Oh..."
Ling Ruonan responded softly, but her clear eyes were always looking at Jiang Cheng.
"Be good, it's time to go to training, gu——! Good... do your best."
Jiang Cheng smiled and squeezed out these words from the food in his throat.
"Yeah~ I'm not in a hurry, Nana, you go first, I'll be here soon~"
"Got it."
As her best friend, how could Liu Na not know the other party's little thoughts.
She immediately glared at Jiang Cheng again and got up and left.
But she still took the curtain of the booth down.
"Jiang Cheng~"
As soon as the other party left, Ling Ruonan stretched out her hands and gently held Jiang Cheng's cheeks, and a fresh and lovely smile like the morning light of spring appeared on her beautiful face.
This smile was so beautiful and gentle that Jiang Cheng was a little stunned.
Almost at the same time, the two of them naturally approached each other and gently pressed their lips together.
Soft, sweet, and wonderful.
As time went by, the short-haired girl's body gradually slumped down and leaned on Jiang Cheng's arms.
She said softly: "The training will be over soon..."
"Yes..."
Jiang Cheng nodded slightly, and his fingers gently stroked the other's smooth hair.
In a few days, it will be the final assessment day for the main dancer of the dance drama that Ling Ruonan is running for.
After so many days of hard training day and night, this must be very important to her.
"By the way, I don't know what the name of the dance drama you are running for is?"
Jiang Cheng suddenly remembered something and asked casually while hugging the girl in his arms.
"Huh? Didn't I tell you?"
Enjoying the gentle pat on the head, Ling Ruonan narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly: "It's the traditional Chinese dance drama "Silk Road Flower Rain" choreographed by Dunhuang Art Theater~"
"Uh... is it this?"
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng was stunned for a moment.
Then he immediately understood that the current "Silk Road Flower Rain" is a brand new dance drama re-arranged by Professor Liu Yan.
The role of Ying Niang, the protagonist of the dance drama, is a young girl in her prime.
So it is most appropriate to select young dancers from Xiyin as the main dancers of the entire dance drama.
"Do you know this dance drama too?"
Seeing the look of realization on Jiang Cheng's face, Ling Ruonan blinked curiously.
"Well, it's very famous~" Jiang Cheng said, learning on the spot: "This is a classic dance drama that started in the 1970s~"
"Wow~ Jiang Cheng, you know a lot~"
Ling Ruonan said with a smile: "Actually, I only knew about this dance drama because my teacher recommended me to give it a try~"
"Well, it's good to give it a try." Jiang Cheng smiled and said: "You should become famous as early as possible~"
"It doesn't have to be famous~" Ling Ruonan said seriously: "Jiang Cheng, do you know that the peak age for a dancer is between 20 and 30 years old."
"So my own hope is to live up to my youth and show the best of me on the stage."
When the girl said these words, her eyes were full of brilliant glow.
It was very much like the bright stars in the night sky.
