Chapter 4 Confrontation between husband and wife
The cafeteria in Yunzhong is very large. There are four floors in the cafeteria building, and each floor is enough to accommodate nearly ten thousand people eating at the same time.
Even at the university that Yang Yang went to later, the cafeteria was only of this size.
However, the large canteen does not mean that you can eat. Due to design flaws, the canteen has many seats but a serious lack of windows.
Nearly ten thousand students often line up from the window to the entrance of the cafeteria.
Standing downstairs in the cafeteria, Yang Yang turned to Xu Yan and asked: "Which floor should we go to for dinner? I know the rice bowls on the third floor are very good. There will also be barbecue and hot pot on the fourth floor when school starts. I don't know if they are available now. We
You can go and have a look.”
"Go to the third floor." Xu Yan said calmly.
She was very confused now and just wanted to find a quiet place to talk clearly to Yang Yang.
"Okay, but we have to get rid of your two little bodyguards at the back first." As soon as Yang Yang finished speaking, Xu Yan turned around and saw the two roommates under the willow tree by the river. She held her forehead speechlessly, but still nodded.
"Then give it to me." Yang Yang smiled, spread his hand, and motioned for Xu Yan to hand it to her.
Xu Yan couldn't refuse at all, so she could only put her hand on his hand obediently, like a couple in love.
I envy Cao Aai and Miaoshui who were hiding behind the willow tree.
"I'm so angry. Xu Yan actually lied to us. They were obviously in love. Are you right, Sister Miao?" Cao Aai's face was filled with anger. She put her hands on her hips and said to Miaoshui behind her.
"Maybe, but I can also understand that high school students can't fall in love prematurely. The teacher will definitely take care of it." Miaoshui was also a little surprised that Xu Yan, who had always only known about studying and never talked to boys, would actually fall in love early.
"Sister Miao, let's follow quickly. We can't let the people from the branch snatch Xu Yan." Cao Aai saw Yang Yang holding Xu Yan's hand in the cafeteria, and immediately pulled Miao Shui to follow.
"Why are you so prejudiced against the people in the branch school?" Miaoshui was helplessly pulled by Cao Aiai.
The two of them followed Yang Yang and Xu Yan all the way into the first floor of the cafeteria, and then disappeared.
Standing in the cafeteria hall, Cao Aiai blinked her big eyes, and she really couldn't understand why two people who were fine could suddenly disappear.
It was five days before the official start of school, and the school cafeteria only had freshmen coming to participate in military training, not many.
The seats in the cafeteria are very spacious and you have a clear view, so there is no reason to get lost.
All the students who had finished their military training gathered near the lunch window to eat.
Cao Aaiai and Miaoshui walked around the crowd several times, looking for corners.
I just couldn't find anyone, so I had to give up completely.
"Sister Miao, isn't that Yang Yang an alien?" As soon as Cao Aai said these words, Miaoshui gave her a chestnut.
"Please put away your imagination, classmate Cao Aai." Miaoshui looked around the cafeteria. Although it looked simple, there might be something they missed.
Yang Yanggang took Xu Yan to the dining hall. He originally wanted to take the side door that was rarely used by people.
But when I saw that the side door was locked with a chain, I took the risk and left through the back door of the canteen.
When he came to borrow water in the afternoon, he happened to go into the kitchen and had some understanding of the structure of the kitchen.
When the cafeteria opened for dinner in the afternoon, the kitchen door was ajar and there was no one inside. All the cafeteria ladies were in front preparing meals for the students.
After getting rid of the two little tails, Yang Yang and Xu Yan came to the cafeteria on the third floor.
"What do you want to eat?" Yang Yang turned to ask Xu Yan.
But Xu Yan ignored him and walked directly to the window: "Auntie, give me a sweet and sour pork rice bowl."
The canteen uses meal cards for consumption, and Yang Yang wants to help Xu Yan swipe her meal card.
But she found that Xu Yan had already placed the meal card on the machine and covered it with her own hands.
This scene seems so familiar.
In the first year of marriage, Xu Yan never told Yang Yang what she wanted. She bought it secretly by herself, never putting anything in her shopping cart for more than a day.
Even if Yang Yang wanted to secretly help his wife clear the shopping cart, there was no chance.
"I also want a piece of sweet and sour pork." Yang Yang followed Xu Yan and also bought a piece of rice bowl.
Xu Yan took the rice bowl and poured it over the rice, silently waiting for Yang Yang. After Yang Yang got the rice, she turned around and left.
Yang Yang followed his wife in a tacit understanding without saying a word, but did not forget to pick up the chopsticks at the window.
A few students from the headquarters seemed to recognize Xu Yan and Yang Yang, and took a look at them, but didn't say much.
A portion of donburi ranges from 5 to 7 yuan. For this price, you can eat two meat dishes and one vegetarian dish in the cafeteria on the first and second floors, as well as two additional portions of rice. Relatively speaking, the meals on the third floor are not as cost-effective as those on the first and second floors.
Therefore, few people come to the third floor to eat.
No one disturbed them, and the atmosphere between Xu Yan and Yang Yang was a little subtle.
It was so similar that when Yang Yang was eating with his wife and daughter at home after get off work, Xu Yan only had her daughter in her eyes, and he was just a background person eating.
But now they have to talk.
After eating a few mouthfuls of rice bowl, Yang Yang announced a date without hesitation: "August 8, 2022, is your 31st birthday."
Xu Yan paused, but with a hint of luck in her heart, she responded: "You're doing well."
Yang Yang answered and continued: "That day, I didn't rush home to celebrate your birthday, and you didn't leave any food for me, so you threw all the food into the trash can.
But I don’t blame you, because you know that I have strong taste and the food you cook has never been to my liking.”
Yang Yang's words broke the last trace of luck in Xu Yan's heart.
She also hesitated that day, but she was afraid that Yang Yang would have some inappropriate fantasies, so she simply didn't give him any hope, so she was not disappointed.
They are family, but just family.
After having their daughter Xiaoyu, their responsibility is to raise Xiaoyu to adulthood. She is Xiaoyu's mother and he is Xiaoyu's father, that's all.
"Oh, really? I was suddenly reborn that day too." Xu Yan said in a neutral tone while eating her rice, just like she often told Yang Yang that the price of pork in the vegetable market had increased again.
"What a coincidence, me too." Yang Yang replied casually, and then poured another spoonful of rice over the rice, as if he was commenting on the saltiness of the rice.
Gradually, there were fewer and fewer people in the cafeteria, and finally only Yang Yang and Xu Yan were left.
There was only a plate left in front of the two of them.
"I remember you said before that you had someone you liked in high school, and I wish you happiness." Xu Yan wanted to leave, but his mind was still a little confused.
She didn't know what to say, but Yang Yang actually had a special place in her heart.
This position was so special that she didn't know how to face Yang Yang after her rebirth.
But before Xu Yan could leave, Yang Yang grabbed her arm.
"There's still an hour left for evening self-study at 7 o'clock, so let's sit down for a while." Yang Yang grabbed his wife, and the two of them stared at each other for a long time.
The fluorescent lights in the cafeteria were bright and dazzling, and Yang Yang's eyes seemed to glow when they shone on them. Xu Yan looked at him and remembered all the good things Yang Yang had done in the past.
She has always seemed to be very cruel to this man.
"Okay, let's have a serious chat."
As soon as Xu Yan sat down, an aunt from the cafeteria came over.
"Classmate, when you've finished eating, please give me your plate and chopsticks."
Yang Yang was a little helpless. The aunt in the cafeteria really didn't know how to read the atmosphere, but she still handed Xu Yan and his plate to the aunt honestly.
Finally, when the aunt was pushing the trolley away, she looked at the two of them strangely.
They don't look like a couple. Could it be that the two siblings are having a conflict?
At this time, the canteen was completely deserted, and the last canteen aunt was also washing dishes in the kitchen.
"Xu Yan, I want to get back together with you. We can create a better environment for Xiaoyu's general." Yang Yang made his attitude clear in one sentence. He did not want to abandon his wife who had been in trouble for seven years, even if she was reborn.
"No, you don't want to. Yang Yang, we are all adults. You should know that I have no love for you, at most it is family affection. Give us a chance. You will find your true love, and I will live out my other one.
Life." Xu Yan said what was in her heart extremely seriously.
