Not all Western restaurants are particularly high-end and expensive, but there are also more economical ones that cater to ordinary working-class people, like this one right now.
Yin Zhiping held the menu in his hand and looked through it from beginning to end. He found that the most expensive dish was only priced at more than 200. However, the drinks are not cheap. The cheapest ones cost hundreds of dollars, and some are sold by the glass. However, he didn't need to drink wine to eat with his niece, and if he didn't order the most expensive dishes, it wouldn't cost much.
He is not a stingy person, especially when he is not short of money. It's just that his niece is having a treat today, but he wants to save some money for her, and he also doesn't want her to develop the habit of spending money lavishly.
He came in early and chose a table by the window. Not long after reading the menu in his hand, Yin Fangting made a call and came in. He waved to Yin Fangting and indicated his position to her.
Yin Fangting noticed his waving, walked over and sat down, and said to him: "My classmate can be here in half an hour at most. Uncle, aren't you in a hurry?"
Yin Zhiping shook his head and said, "Don't worry."
At this time, the waiter came over, first poured a glass of water for Yin Fangting, then handed her the drink list and asked her what to drink. Yin Zhiping had told the waiter before that there were three people, but now there were only two people, and there was one more person to wait, so the waiter didn't ask if he wanted to order anything, and only asked about drinks first.
Yin Fangting took the drink list and looked at it, then looked at Yin Zhiping and said, "Uncle, how about we have a pot of coffee?"
"Okay." Yin Zhiping agreed, looking down at his phone. He came in first and didn't ask for a drink, just a glass of boiled water that the waiter took the initiative to pour.
He was surfing the Internet on his mobile phone, checking whether Liu Xu, Li Xinyue, and Zhao Yongsheng had sent him any messages in the past few days. After he quit the studio that day, he promised the three of them that he would help them for free for a few days. Until they find new people to join or appropriately reduce the workload and adjust. But after he returned that day, he concentrated on practicing for three days and three nights without even getting out of bed, so he forgot about it for a while. Now that Dekong had thought about it, he went online to see if they had sent a message asking for his help.
This view. However, he discovered that not only had the three of them not sent any messages asking for his help in the past few days, they had not even sent a normal greeting. Thinking about it, his sudden withdrawal still caused the three of them to feel resentful and unwilling to forgive themselves. If we don't find a way to make up for this, I'm afraid we won't even be friends anymore in the future. However, he had already anticipated such changes and possibilities beforehand, and he would also take a completely different path from them in the future. Slowly and naturally it will drift away. So he has already been mentally prepared for this.
Although he felt regretful about losing the friendship between the three of them, he didn't feel any reluctance to let it go. Because they will take different paths in the future and no longer meet each other, this friendship will eventually fade away and disappear. The present ends and the future ends. It's just a matter of time. Now that he has looked away, he has no intention of doing anything more to make up for it.
Yin Fangting asked for a pot of Blue Mountain coffee, and the waiter quickly brought it to her.
The uncle and nephew were drinking coffee and chatting, while each of them lowered his head to check his cell phone from time to time. Yin Fangting looked back at the door from time to time to see if her "classmates" had arrived.
"Hello, madam, how many are there?"
"Oh. I'm looking for someone and made an appointment with someone."
After waiting for about twenty minutes, another customer came in. The waiter came forward to greet and ask questions as usual, but the female customer's voice that followed sounded familiar to Yin Zhiping.
He was sitting in the direction facing the door. He immediately looked up and saw the woman he saved last Sunday night - Liu Linglong.
"Teacher Liu, here!"
Yin Fangting obviously recognized Liu Linglong's voice and immediately turned around and stood up. He waved to Liu Linglong at the door.
As soon as he saw this situation, Yin Zhiping didn't understand what was going on, and immediately asked Yin Fangting in a deep voice: "Is this the 'classmate' you invited?"
Yin Fangting turned her head and smiled proudly at him, saying, "Are they all from the same school? Of course they can be considered 'classmates'."
Liu Linglong at the door heard Yin Fangting's greeting. He immediately turned his head to look over, smiled at Yin Fangting, and then walked over. After taking two steps forward, she noticed Yin Zhiping sitting at the same table with Yin Fangting. As soon as he looked over, he immediately recognized the man who saved the beauty and saved her that night. He couldn't help being surprised and happy. He walked over quickly without even bothering to say hello to Yin Fangting. He walked straight to Yin Zhiping and said happily cried: "Ah, it's you!"
Although Yin Zhiping was a little angry that his niece had tricked him into meeting Liu Linglong, but now that the matter was over, he couldn't be so cold and inhumane. Seeing that Liu Linglong recognized him at a glance and walked up to him to greet him, he had no choice but to stand up and said politely with a smile: "Well, hello!"
"Teacher Liu, do you know my uncle?" Yin Fangting smiled proudly at Yin Zhiping from the opposite side, and then intervened at the right time, pretending that she didn't know anything about the matter between Yin Zhiping and Liu Linglong.
"Ah, is this your uncle? I don't know what to call him?" After hearing this, Liu Linglong thought of Yin Fangting again. When she heard Yin Fangting say that Yin Zhiping was her uncle, she couldn't help being surprised, and then asked Yin Fangting.
¡°Teacher Liu, you don¡¯t know me yet, so why did you act like you¡¯ve seen my uncle just now?¡± Yin Fangting asked again, pretending not to know.
Liu Linglong said, "I've met her before, but I don't know her name yet. Since he's your uncle, please introduce me formally to Tingting!" After saying that, she turned her head and looked at Yin Zhiping steadily, thinking about him. There is absolutely no way he can run away this time.
Hearing that Liu Linglong also called Yin Fangting "Tingting", Yin Zhiping couldn't help but feel a move in his heart, thinking that the relationship between teacher and student seemed to be quite close in private. He did know that his niece was the English class representative in the class, but the class representative had such a close relationship with the substitute teacher, but in his opinion, it was still a bit too much.
If you want to show perfect etiquette, then at this time, Yin Zhiping should actually introduce himself politely. But he was still a little angry, so he didn't show such courtesy. He only gave Yin Fangting a wink and motioned for her to do it for her.
Yin Fangting smiled slightly, coughed slightly, pointed at Yin Zhiping and introduced Liu Linglong formally: "Teacher Liu, this is my uncle, Yin Zhiping!"
"Ah!?" Liu Linglong couldn't help but exclaimed when she heard the words, her eyes widened, and she shrank back involuntarily.
The teachers and students in the school gave her the nickname "Little Dragon Girl", and she herself heard about it. When someone calls her this in person, although she is polite and humble, she is also somewhat conceited about her beauty and agrees with this title.
Therefore, sometimes she could not help but think of herself as "Little Dragon Girl". Now, Yin Zhiping suddenly appeared and took possession of Little Dragon Girl for the first time. She was unprepared and how could she not be frightened for a moment? of?
Yin Fangting looked at Liu Linglong's reaction and couldn't help feeling secretly happy. She had long known that Liu Linglong was known as "Little Dragon Girl", but she never mentioned that she had an uncle named "Yin Zhiping" in front of Liu Linglong. I had long had a bad taste in thinking about how one day I would bring Liu Linglong, the "little dragon girl", to my uncle Yin Zhiping, and give her such a formal introduction without startling her.
Last night, she kept urging Yin Zhiping to go on a date with Liu Linglong, because she also wanted to satisfy her little evil wish. She had thought about it before, but she never had the chance, and it wasn't a long-cherished wish that she had always cared about, so she didn't put too much thought into it. When she heard last night that the two of them actually knew each other, she realized that this was a rare opportunity. It's a pity that her well-intentioned and earnest persuasion was ignored by that smelly uncle, so she had no choice but to play it safe.
