Chapter 231
The two walked into the restaurant. The business in the restaurant was good, and almost all of them were full.

Ning Qiu glanced at the inquiries, and found an acquaintance, Wen Xiaoyan.

She pulled Ning Huimin over and greeted her generously.

"Xiaoyan! What a coincidence?"

Wen Xiaoyan's whole body was shocked, and even the soup in the spoon was spilled out.She slowly raised her head to look at Ning Qiu, with a hint of panic and anxiety in her eyes.

Ning Qiu also noticed it, feeling strange in her heart.

"Are these two your friends?"

A boy at the table suddenly spoke, and Ning Qiu noticed that Wen Xiaoyan was not alone, there was another person sitting at the table.

The man looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, very delicate and fair, just like Wen Xiaoyan, with a pair of glasses on his face, full of bookishness.

Ning Qiu smiled, "Yes, we are friends, are you...?"

The boy stood up and introduced himself politely. "I'm Wen Xiaoyan's classmate, Xue Xiangcheng. There is no place in the store now, why don't you sit at our table?"

Ning Qiu would not refuse anyone who came, and pulled Ning Huimin to sit down at the table.

Seeing two dishes, one meat and one vegetarian, on the table, Ning Qiu called the waiter and ordered another meat dish, plus a soup.

"Come together for a table, and if you don't mind, let's eat together."

The boy smiled and nodded, but Wen Xiaoyan lowered her head, pawing the rice in the bowl without saying a word.

"Xiaoyan."

Wen Xiaoyan only raised her head when she heard Ning Qiu calling her name.

Ning Qiu pointed at Ning Huimin, "Do you remember her? My cousin, Ning Huimin."

"Oh, I, I remember."

"This time she is repeating studies in Peixin High School with me, which happens to be the same school as yours." Ning Qiu didn't mind others knowing that she was repeating studies, so she just said so openly in front of boys.

A surprised expression appeared on Wen Xiaoyan's face. "Come to our school to repeat studies?!"

"Yes, I originally wanted to go to Ninth Middle School, but this year, Ninth Middle School won't accept students, so I can only come here."

While talking, Ning Qiu's order arrived.She and Ning Huimin were indeed hungry, so they picked up their rice bowls and started eating.

During the meal, Ning Qiu chatted with Wen Xiaoyan and asked about the situation of the school.

Wen Xiaoyan's answer was very restrained, she would answer whatever Ning Qiu asked, without saying a word.

Ning Qiu and the two of them had just eaten halfway, when the boy put down the bowl and chopsticks.

"We're done eating, and we're going back first."

"Ning Qiu, eat slowly." Wen Xiaoyan also said politely, and left the restaurant with the boy.

After the two left, Ning Huimin nudged Ning Qiu with her elbow. "Why is that Wen Xiaoyan so different from before?"

Ning Qiu stopped his chopsticks, "Beautiful?"

"No, she was not very close to you before, why is she so estranged now. And she went out to eat with a boy, don't you think it's strange?"

"Actually, in Luoyang, Wen Xiaoyan and I didn't have many chances to meet each other, and after a long time, it became normal to have sex. As for that boy...you're too fussy, isn't there something wrong with boys and girls eating together?"

"That's not true, I think Wen Xiaoyan's attitude is a bit strange."

"Don't think too much, let's eat quickly, I won't be able to go back in time."

Xue Xiangcheng did not go back to the classroom, but walked to another teaching building.Wen Xiaoyan, who was behind him, hesitated for a moment, and followed him up.

This teaching building is located in the northwest corner of the school. There are auditoriums, lecture halls and laboratories in the building, and the reading room is on the top floor.

The laboratories on the second floor are the most frequently used, and the auditorium on the first floor is also used occasionally, while almost no one goes to the third floor.The so-called book reading room has become a warehouse for old books and sundries.

Xue Xiangcheng briskly stepped up the stairs and went directly to the reading room on the third floor.The locks had long since been broken, and the chains and padlocks on them were only for show.

Skillfully untying the iron chain and padlock wrapped around the handle, Xue Xiangcheng opened the door of the reading room.After Wen Xiaoyan entered, the door was closed again.

Leaving the chain and padlock aside, Xue Xiangcheng walked into the dusty reading room.

The white curtains had turned black and yellow, and the wind blew in from the half-opened window, lifting a corner of the curtains, allowing sunlight to shine into the dark space.

Countless dust particles danced slowly in the sunlight, disappearing as the figures passed by.

Xue Xiangcheng walked to the window, opened the corner of the curtain, and the sunlight let in, illuminating the whole reading room.

"Who are you, those two?" Xue Xiangcheng asked suddenly, looking at the scenery outside the window without turning his head.

Wen Xiaoyan lowered her head subconsciously, "It's...my relative."

Xue Xiangcheng didn't answer, but turned around.With his hands on the window sill, he leaned against the wall a little lazy, just looking at Wen Xiaoyan.

Wen Xiaoyan looked up, and Xue Xiangcheng's glasses reflected the sunlight on her cheeks, which hurt her eyes.

"Hurry up, class is about to start." Xue Xiangcheng's tone was a little impatient.

Wen Xiaoyan blushed, and walked up to Xue Xiangcheng, clearly seeing some emotion rolling in his eyes.

Xue Xiangcheng raised his hand to touch her face, took off the eyes on the bridge of her nose and put them on the windowsill.

He put his hands on her shoulders and pushed her down.

The wind blew up the yellowed curtains, blocking the figures of the two people in front of the window, and there was a slight panting sound in the quiet reading room.

The boy raised his neck, the sun shone on his intoxicated expression, but it couldn't shine under the dark window sill.

After school, Ning Qiu and Ning Huimin went to the bookstore to buy dozens of reference books, which weighed about twenty catties.Ning Huimin was sweating all the way back to the small building.

"Okay, I'll help you with tutoring from today!" Ning Qiu patted the pile of reference books with one hand and a ruler with the other, like a foreman in the old society.

Ning Huimin had already been mentally prepared, these hardships were nothing compared to those days in Changning.

"it is good!"

Shuangta County is less than [-] kilometers away from Fuyuan County, but the development of the two counties is completely different.

Dozens of factories have been opened around Fuyuan County, and the county seat has expanded by more than one or two times compared to ten years ago.

However, Shuangta County has not changed much, and the county seat is still a little big.The main road in the county was built in the 50s. It is paved with palm-width stones, and you can see moss in the cracks between the stones.

The entire county is still the same as it was ten or twenty years ago, as if it has been forgotten by the times.

But after the New Year, the lifeless Shuangta County finally changed.Just to the south of the county seat, near the highway, thousands of square meters of land were surrounded.

Large trucks and construction machinery were constantly being transported over.A construction team of more than a hundred people followed, and the pile driver made a loud noise day and night, and the red flag flying on the pile driver and the black smoke could be seen from a long distance.

"What exactly is going to be built over there?" The residents of the county gathered together and talked curiously.

"I do not know."

"Do you want to set up a factory in our county?!"

"I think that such a large piece of land must be used to set up a factory!"

Someone asked, "What kind of factory is this?"

"Whatever he is, it's a good thing anyway!"

"Well, maybe we can go to work in the factory in the future, and get paid every month."

Suddenly, an old lady looked at the middle-aged woman beside her and asked in a low voice. "Didn't your family work in the county party committee? Ask him to inquire about what kind of factory he runs."

"I've inquired about it a long time ago, it's not about setting up a factory."

"Ah? No?! What is that?"

"It is to open a bazaar!"
