After the photos were taken, Tan Ron and the others gathered together to discuss where they should go to celebrate for the night.
Zhuang Liu wanted to celebrate with Tan Rou alone. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come so early. However, he didn’t stop Tan Rou from chatting with her cla.s.smates. If Tan Rou wanted to have dinner with them, he would make other arrangements.
Before they could come to a conclusion, an annoying person came over.
“Tan Rou, are you guys discussing where to eat?” Chen Yao came over with a few cla.s.smates. “We’re also talking about where to eat tonight. Why don’t we go together?”
Tan Rou looked at them calmly and said, “There’s no need. We’re not that close. Let’s celebrate separately to avoid any conflict.
Chen Yao was a person with a lot of thoughts, but she wasn’t that smart or capable. Therefore, although she had been playing tricks for the past few years, it didn’t cause much of an impact. Tan Rou had always ignored her. She didn’t expect Chen Yao to take the initiative to speak to her. Needless to say, she definitely did not have good intentions.
Chen Yao didn’t give up. She continued, “Tan Rou, we’re all cla.s.smates. You can’t possibly just turn down our invitation for one last dinner together tonight?”
“Are we very close?” Tan Rou asked.
“Chen Yao, since we’re not that close, then don’t come in front of me and get in my way. I’ll be very annoyed.”
Chen Yao didn’t want to come in front of Tan Rou either, but they were about to start working soon. If the graduates of Capital University couldn’t find a job, they would be laughed at.
Chen Yao had also taken part in the postgraduate entrance examination last year. However, she had been working part-time while studying, so she was not prepared at all. She had not even reached the national standard. Moreover, her parents would not give her money to take the postgraduate entrance examination again. She had to go out of school to work now.
“Tan Rou, we’re all cla.s.smates. Don’t be so harsh!” Chen Yao said shamelessly, “We’re about to graduate. Let bygones be bygones. Let’s start all over again.”
Tan Rou didn’t think that she needed to start all over again with Chen Yao. If possible, she hoped that she wouldn’t be in the same cla.s.s as Chen Yao and would pretend that she never knew this person.
“Do you not understand human language?” Li Li was getting impatient. Unlike Tan Rou, she didn’t speak in a gentle manner. If she was dissatisfied with something, she would shout, “Don’t think that just because Rourou doesn’t argue with you, you can come to us shamelessly. We all know about the little tricks you’ve been doing behind our backs these past few years, so don’ t be an eyesore here. Get lost!”
Chen Yao didn’t dare to get angry at Tan Rou, but did she not dare to scold Li Li?
“Do you have the right to speak here? I didn’t say I’d go for dinner with you, so don’t think too highly of yourself. If I were you, I would take my bag and go home now. I wouldn’t stay here and talk nonsense.”
“I should return the favor, not everyone is as shameless as you,” Li Li retorted.
Tan Rou saw Li Li and Chen Yao arguing and felt that it was a waste of Li Li’s energy. Thus, she stopped Li Li and whispered a few words into her ear.
After Li Li heard that, she immediately laughed. “Alright, we’ll do as you say.”
“What are you guys talking about? Why are you so happy?” Chen Yao suddenly had a bad feeling.
Tan Rou smiled. “I was just discussing lunch with Lili. You’re right. We’re cla.s.smates. How can we not go for a meal? That’s why we’ve decided to have dinner with you.”
Chen Yao was very happy. She smiled and said, “Okay, shall we set off now?”
Tan Rou said, “Wait a minute. Before we eat, we should ask you what you like. Otherwise, how would we be able to find a place to eat?”
Chen Yao gave them the name of a restaurant from the top of her head. The restaurant was considered a mid-to-high-end restaurant that would be suitable for a graduation dinner. However, that place was a little far. Even if they drove, it would take more than 40 minutes. If they took the subway or public bus, they would need to transfer and it would take at least an hour.
Tan Rou had no objections. “Alright, let’s go now.” She called Li Li and the others over and said, “I’ve always been prejudiced against Student Chen Yao. Today, I finally realized that she’s a generous person. We should thank her for buying us this meal.”
Chen Yao understood what Tan Rou meant. She smiled apologetically and said, “Student Tan Rou we’re going dutch for this meal.”
