Seventy-Seven, Three-Person Dinner (2)

  "It was during the summer vacation, I went to Suzhou to play, and saw it while walking around the street, thought it looked good, so bought three pairs at once. Later, gave one pair to a sister in our dormitory, and now this pair is for you," said Ouyang Xiaoxiao with a smile.

  "When is your birthday? I'll pick out a beautiful gift for you at that time."

  "My birthday is in May, on the 14th of the lunar calendar. How about you?"

  "I'm two months older than you, I was born on the 16th of July in the lunar calendar. Hmm, your birthday for this year has already passed, so I'll just give you a birthday gift next year instead."

  "Your birthday is coming soon, right?" Ouyang Xiaoxiao said, taking out her phone and flipping through the calendar.

  "There's still more than two weeks," Gu Xue Lin said.

  "When it's time for your birthday, remember to call me, okay?" said Ouyang Xiaoxiao with a smile.

  "Okay, I'll definitely call you at that time."

  As we were talking, we arrived at the entrance of a restaurant.

  "Shall we go eat at this restaurant?" asked Gu Xue Lin.

  "I'm fine," said Ouyang Xiaoxiao with a nod.

  Then we went in.

  They chose a table in the corner and sat down, three people.

  "Xiao Xiao, what do you want to eat?" asked Gu Xue Lin as she took a menu and began to look through it.

  "I'm fine with whatever, just choose something you like," said Ouyang Xiaoxiao with a smile.

  At this time, the waiter brought over the teapot and cups. Ouyang Xiaoxiao took them over and poured water for me and Gu Xuelin.

  "Xiao Xiao, I'll pour the water. You're our guest today, so don't bother," said Gu Xue Lin, trying to take the teapot from Ouyang Xiao Xiao's hands.

  "No need, no need, I'll get it. You guys order, you guys order," said Ouyang Xiaoxiao, waving her hand at Gu XueLin, indicating for her to sit down.

  Gu Xue Lin smiled and sat back in her seat.

  "Xiao Xiao, do you eat spicy food?" asked Gu Xue Lin.

  "You can order if you want to eat, I don't mind, eating is fine, not eating is also fine."

  "Mu Xian likes to eat the boiled fish here, but I don't really eat spicy food. If you can handle spice, I'll order this one, anyway, you two can have it," said Gu Xue Lin.

  "You'd better order something you like too," said Ouyang Xiao, after pouring the water and sitting back in her seat.

  "It's okay, it's okay, just order this, boiled fish, and also, fish-flavored shredded pork, and also, stir-fried tomatoes with eggs, hmm, add some wood ear meat too," Gu Xuelin said.

  "Alright," said Ouyang Xiaoxiao, nodding her head.

  "Want another serving of roast chicken?" I suddenly chimed in.

  "What's with the big plate of chicken?" Gao Xue Lin was stunned.

  "No need, we've ordered so much and can't finish it," said Ouyang Xiao Xiao, "Besides, I want to try the boiled fish here."

  "Alright, let's leave it at that for now. If we're not full later, we can order more dishes," said Gu Xuelin.

  "Okay," said Ouyang Xiaoxiao with a smile.

  I also nodded, "Okay then."

  "Actually, I should be treating you two to dinner," said Ouyang Xiaoxiao with a smile.

  "Why?" asked Gu Xue Lin.

  I was also puzzled looking at Ouyang Xiaoxiao, I didn't know how she suddenly came up with such a sentence.

  "Because I got more scholarships than you," said Ouyang Xiaoxiao with a smile, looking at Gu Xuelin and then at me.

  I didn't know what to say and could only smile awkwardly.

  "Xiao Xiao, you not only look pretty, but also dance well and study well, I really envy you." Gu Xue Lin said with a smile, apparently not noticing the complex expression on my face.

  "Lingling, you've got it wrong, I'm the one who should be envying you, not the other way around." Ouyang Xiaoxiao said with a chuckle.

  "What are you envious of me?" Gu Xue Lin was stunned for a moment.
