CapĂtulo 1846: Chapter 1846: In the Dead of Night, the Burlap Sack (4)
Lu Zishu was just about to respond when he caught a glimpse of Qin Yue walking over. He immediately jumped up and waved to greet him.
Qin Yue knew they were coming, but actually seeing them, he couldnât help but get excited. He ran over eagerly, hugged Lu Zishu, jumping with joy.
Duan Xin was a year older than them, so seeing them chat like this, he turned to the teacher and said, âTeacher, the person we are waiting for has arrived. Weâre just here to pick him up; you donât need to worry about us.â
The teacher saw that they were waiting for Qin Yue, and his expression changed slightly, not looking too pleased. He managed to keep his composure and nodded before turning back to the other school leaders, whispering a few words. The expressions of those leaders also turned a bit odd, and they frequently looked over without hurrying to leave.
âYuezi, whatâs the deal with those teachers at your school?â Ruan Lei patted Qin Yue on the shoulder and asked.
Qin Yue followed his gaze and saw a few school leaders smiling at him rather obsequiously. He immediately rolled his eyes, and with an arm around Lu Zishu and Ruan Leiâs shoulders, said, âYou must be hungry, letâs go and grab something to eat. Weâll talk about this later.â
âAlright, I am hungry. Whatâs good to eat around here?â
âThey have a type of hand-pulled hotpot chicken here, paired with their homemade sauce and plum wineâitâs quite good. Come on, Iâll take you to eat.â
As they chatted, they got into the car, which drove off under the gaze of many onlookers.
After they left, the students watching and a few school leaders stood at the entrance for several more minutes before gradually dispersing. At the same time, rumors about Qin Yueâs impressive family background spread throughout the school.
Meanwhile, Qin Yue led the group to a local restaurant, and as the car stopped, numerous shop owners around curiously poked their heads out to take a look.
The restaurant was a family-run private eatery, with the parents as the chefs and an eighteen-year-old girl as the waitress. As Qin Yue led Ruan Jiaojiao and the others inside, her eyes filled with admiration. Qin Yue called her several times before she ran up, blushing.
âSister Yu, bring the menu for my friends to take a look. Is there plum wine today?â Qin Yue asked.
The girl named Sister Yu nodded quickly, âYes, yes, my dad just brewed some recently. How much do you want?â
âA pound will do,â Lu Zishu waved grandly, displaying great enthusiasm.
Ruan Jiaojiao quickly said, âWe still have to drive back tonight, letâs just taste a little.â Although drunk driving wasnât a concern right now, it was winter and the roads were not great, so itâs better to be responsible.
âLittle sister, our wine has no alcohol content, it wonât get you drunk,â the girl hurriedly explained when she heard Jiaojiaoâs comment.
âYeah, we still have a whole afternoon before evening. Even if there is some alcohol, it should have worn off by then. No worries, just order a pound,â Lu Zishu was truly in high spirits today, even more so now.
Ruan Jiaojiao saw they were all eager and didnât want to spoil the mood, so she didnât insist.
The small restaurant didnât have private rooms, so they could only sit outside. The drivers for Xin Miao and Yu Rou didnât want to sit together with them, so they opened another table and ate there.
After ordering the food, they sat around a round table, and Duan Xi suddenly got up and went to the cash register.
