peepers

Chapter 3
Although the sun had set, the scorching heat of the day still added a bit of sweltering heat to the dog days of June. The group of people walked here for just 10 minutes, and they were still sweating profusely.

Fortunately, the newly opened restaurant opened in the shopping mall, and the air-conditioning blowing in the face as soon as they entered the door blew away the heat of the road, which made them all heave a sigh of relief.

There was always a wait in the evening rush hour, An Chen went to get the number first, Chen Sui was taken by two girls to buy milk tea together, leaving three boys to wait together.

Shan Jingzhe flipped through Chen Sui's circle of friends and watched silently. Her cat appeared the most in her circle of friends. The cat was the same as the one on her profile picture, but the one on her profile picture looked smaller. Some, it is a gradual English short, with few things in life, except greetings on holidays, there is basically no other information about me, not even a selfie.

Until it turned to the bottom, Shan Jingzhe found out that she didn't seem to mention her birthday either. He was a little puzzled, don't girls like to post on Moments on their birthdays?

With such doubts in mind, he opened Weibo, found Chen Sui's homepage interface, entered the word "birthday" in the search bar, and what came up were all her blogs wishing other people a happy birthday. Exit and click on her The information does not show which day the birthday is.

He didn't give up and clicked into her super chat to search, and all the pop-ups were fans asking for blessings on her birthday, Weibo asking "when is the birthday of the three-year-old teacher", and the latest one in the comment area was also online.

Shan Jingzhe turned off the phone, looked at An Chen who was sitting on the side and lowered his head to watch the video, and asked, "How long have you known Chen Sui?"

"Huh?" An Chen raised his head in doubt, "Chen Sui?" He thought for a while, "It's been a year or two, she's a quiet girl, she and Xiao Yi have known each other for a little longer, like two or three years."

"She didn't major in dance? What is her major?"

"She is a top student at the National People's University. She graduated last year. I remember that she studied journalism, but now she is teaching students at various stages."

"Why? It stands to reason that she majored in information technology, so she should go to a company such as a news agency. How can she become a tutor?"

"I heard from Xiao Yi that she herself rejected offers from many companies and went to work as a tutor."

"Why?"

"How do I know that?" An Chen also looked confused, "If you want to know, you have to ask her, not me."

Awakening of Insects speechless.

"Invite customer c012 to dine."

At this time, the voice announced that they were dining at this table, An Chen hurriedly stood up and walked two steps quickly to negotiate, Shan Jingzhe and Feimao also stood up and walked in.

After being seated, An Chen looked at the menu and said to them, "Whoever of you sent them a message, let them come in directly when they come back."

"Ah? Jingzhe, send them a message. I can't hang up playing games." Feimao said to Shan Jingzhe who was sitting next to him without looking up.

"Oh." Shan Jingzhe responded, opened WeChat, hesitated for a moment, and sent it to Chen Sui.

The sun reaches 345 degrees of the celestial longitude: you have already waited for the number, just come in when you arrive, at the deck.

There was also a quick reply.

Xishan: Okay, we are already on our way back.

Shan Jingzhe looked at this sentence and suddenly felt a little happy.

The sun reaches 345 degrees of the celestial longitude: good.

After replying to this sentence, he clicked on her avatar, and changed "Three-year-old teacher" to "Chen Sui" in the column of remarks. Later, he felt that it was not right, deleted those two words, and typed "Sui Sui" , then clicked Save with satisfaction and returned to the interface.

"This way." An Chen finished ordering, just in time to see them coming back, and raised his hand to greet them, the three of them sat down, Yuzu took off his mask and took a long breath, took a sip of milk tea, and began to talk happily Said, "There is a bar nearby, and the environment is not bad. Sister Yan and I discussed it. Let's go there later to have a good time?"

"Okay, I'm fine." Scarlet Cat was playing the game without raising its head.

"I'm OK too." Shan Jingzhe agreed, and then looked at Chen Sui.

Chen Sui was rinsing the bowls and chopsticks with the tea, and felt that someone was looking at her. She raised her head and saw Shan Jingzhe. He was watching the movements of her hands curiously, and then met her eyes.

Chen Sui placed the rinsed tableware and smiled, "I'm from Cantonese."

Shan Jingzhe nodded in understanding, Yuzi came over and asked, "In Guangdong, is this a ritual for eating?"

"Hmm...well, maybe it's a psychological effect, it's just like washing it and disinfecting it."

"That's it," Yuzu seemed to have opened the door to a new world, "Then I'll wash it too." As he spoke, he took the teapot and rinsed his dishes, and Chen Sui also waved for the waiter to take a teapot to pour out the waste water.

The speed of serving food at this restaurant was not bad, and the dishes were almost ready within a short time. Several people chatted over the meal, and Chen Sui listened quietly, basically saying nothing.

Halfway through the meal, the mobile phone on the table rang. Chen Sui glanced at the caller ID. It was a call from a tutor. She put down her chopsticks and answered it.

"Hello? Hello, Mrs. Sun."

"Ms. Chen... are you busy now? Did it bother you?"

"No, what's the matter with you?"

"It's like this, I have a friend... Her child is about to take the final exam, but her academic performance is not very good recently... I see that you are doing well in tutoring Xiaomi, so I want to give you... to her, so I want to... ask your opinion first..."

"Wait for me first." Chen Sui blocked one ear, and could still hear intermittently in this noisy environment, so she could only get up and signal to the few people present, and walked outside the store to answer.

"It's all right, Mrs. Sun, you continue to talk, the movement inside was a bit noisy just now, I can't hear it clearly."

"That's it, that's it. I have a friend whose child is about to take the final exam, but his academic performance is not very satisfactory recently. I see that you help Xiaomi with good homework. I want to recommend you to her. I just wanted to ask your opinion first..."

"Yes, thank you, Mrs. Sun, what grade is your friend's child in? I'll prepare some materials here."

"In the first year of high school, so, I will talk to my friend later, and then give her your phone number and WeChat. You can talk about it in detail later, and you can rest assured that you will not be treated badly in terms of salary."

"That will trouble Mrs. Sun."

"Okay, then I'll hang up first. Xiaomi just said that she wants to eat crabs, and I have to get them for her."

Chen Sui smiled, "Okay, then you are busy first, goodbye."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Sui was about to go back when she heard someone calling her in the dialect of her hometown behind her. She thought she heard it wrong and turned her head in doubt.

"elder brother!"

"It's really you." Chen Rang stepped forward, "I thought I was wrong."

Chen Sui happily tugged at the hem of his clothes, "Why are you here?"

"I made an appointment with a client here to discuss business. Just after the end, he just left because he had something to do. Why are you here? Are you hungry? Let's go eat."

"Eat," Chen Sui pursed his lips in embarrassment, and pointed to the restaurant a few steps behind him. "I came out with my friends. I ate here, and I came out to answer the phone."

"That's it," Chen Rang felt a little regretful, "Then I'll take you back after dinner?"

"Well...they said to go to the bar later."

Chen Rang thought for a while, "It's okay, it's good for you to go out for a walk with your friends more, don't stay too late in the bar, go back early, and you can't drink, you know?"

Chen Sui nodded again and again, "I know, I know, I'm allergic to alcohol and can't drink."

Chen Rang nodded approvingly, stretched out his hand to touch her head, and smoothed out her scattered hair, "Are you free this weekend? Come over to eat at home, my sister has been learning some popular dishes on the Internet these days." , Internet celebrity snacks, Internet celebrity drinks, the taste is surprisingly good, come here and let her make it for you."

"I'll check it out on weekends. I just took over a tutor. I wonder if I will go to tutoring on weekends."

"That's it," Chen Rang regretted, "Then you will come over this weekend and send me a message, and I will make you your favorite tiger skin chicken feet."

"it is good."

"Okay, then go in and eat quickly, I will go back first." Chen Rang pinched her face, "Remember not to be too late, go back early, you know?"

"I know brother."

Watching Chen Rang go away, Chen Sui was about to go back, when he turned around, he saw Shan Jingzhe standing at the door of the store looking at her with a subtle expression on his face.

"Why are you here?"

"I... came out to use the bathroom." In fact, it was because she hadn't come back for such a long time, and she came out to take a look, and saw this scene.

Chen Sui nodded and didn't ask further, "Then I'll go in first."

Shan Jingzhe made room for her and at the same time said, seemingly unintentionally, "That was your friend just now?"

"That's my brother."

Shan Jingzhe immediately changed his face as if juggling, "That's it, then let's go in."

Chen Sui was surprised, "Aren't you going to the bathroom?"

"I am back."

"…Oh."
