"Here is a hundred yuan, no need for change..." Zou Ruoming pulled out a hundred yuan and slapped it down in front of Mother Tang. He did not want to stay a minute longer, with Wei Zhao watching him he felt uneasy all over.
"How can I take that..." Mother Tang wanted to give him change, but Zou Ruoming gave a wry smile and waved his hand, then turned around and walked off without looking back.
At first, Mother Tang had assumed the money for this meal was lost for good. The group had ordered fifty or sixty yuan worth of food and drunk beer besides, and she made only a hundred or so yuan in a whole day at the stall. To lose more than half of it at once hurt, but she had not dared to press Zou Ruoming for payment and could only count herself unlucky.
She had never expected that one word from Wei Zhao would make Zou Ruoming pay up obediently, and even overpay by dozens of yuan without wanting change. She felt deeply grateful to Wei Zhao, thinking how could the gap be so wide between these rich young masters from the same school? Look at Wei Zhao, gentle and refined in appearance, while Zou Ruoming might as well have the word bully written on his own face!
Yet the bully had taken a slap from the refined young man and had not even dared to make a sound before slinking away! Thinking of this, she looked at Wei Zhao with much kinder eyes. Seeing Tang Yun still standing there, glaring at Wei Zhao and Kang Xiaobo as if lost in thought, she said with displeasure, "Yun'er, what are you doing? Why are you not helping greet your classmates?"
Tang Yun had never expected Wei Zhao and Kang Xiaobo to plant themselves so boldly at her family barbecue stall to eat. In her eyes, Kang Xiaobo jumping out to stand up to Zou Ruoming earlier was most likely at Wei Zhao's orders, and his aim was probably the same as Zou Ruoming's, with herself as the goal. Apart from that, Tang Yun could think of nothing else that would catch the attention of these rich young masters.
Although Wei Zhao did not show himself as openly as Zou Ruoming, but looked gentle and refined instead and did not try to cozy up to her, Tang Yun found Wei Zhao even more hypocritical. He had just beaten Zou Ruoming and the broad-faced fatty without mercy, and now he sat here like a good student. Who was he acting for? Especially when she saw her mother seemed to have taken quite a liking to Wei Zhao and even called her to serve them, Tang Yun grew even angrier, thinking, so he helped you get back a hundred yuan and you fall for it so easily?
Tang Yun was like a little hedgehog. What she had been through over the years had long made her lock her heart tight. Whenever a boy came near her, Tang Yun raised her guard on principle.
Still, since her mother had called her, however unwilling Tang Yun was, she could only answer, fetch two bottles of beer from the stall, turn back and set them on Wei Zhao and Kang Xiaobo's table, then return to her mother's side without even glancing at them.
"The opener..." Kang Xiaobo saw Tang Yun had brought only the beer and no opener, and seeing she looked unhappy, he could only smile wryly and ask carefully.
"Yun'er, what is the matter with you? Open the beer for your classmate?" Mother Tang did not understand what had come over Tang Yun. She had been fine just now, and suddenly she had turned cold. Facing Zou Ruoming, you bowed your head in grievance, and facing Wei Zhao, who looks so gentle, you give him attitude?
If Tang Yun knew her mother thought this way, she would explode on the spot! Him, gentle and refined? He just sent the broad-faced fatty flying with one slap. Is that what you call refined?
"No need." Wei Zhao smiled. He did not know how he had offended this pretty girl. He could see Tang Yun's bad attitude, but he did not mind, taking it only for a little girl's temper.
As he spoke, Wei Zhao picked up a beer bottle, flicked his thumb lightly at the cap, and the beer popped open. He served Kang Xiaobo's bottle the same way.
