Wandering among the heavens, learning has no end.

Ji Yuan sat down next to her.

Qi Mingyue thought about it for a moment, then sat down next to Tang Can without much hesitation.

She hadn't praised Tang Can before, so she didn't feel awkward at all.

She knew Li Jianjian to some extent.

They probably came here to sit because they saw that Tang Can was all alone and looked a bit pitiful.

Her best friend is so kind-hearted, so she just went along with it.

Hearing the noise, Tang Can looked up at Li Jianjian opposite him and Qi Mingyue beside him.

Li Jianjian, Qi Mingyue, and Ji Yuan pretended not to see Tang Can and continued eating.

At times like this, it's better to just sit next to Tang Can than to chat with her or try to comfort her.

Sometimes, the connection between emotions doesn't need extra words or actions; a simple gesture is enough.

Tang Can didn't know what she was thinking about, or perhaps the grievances she had been holding in for the past few days just burst out, and tears streamed down her face.

It's a beginning.

For the next period of time, Li Jianjian and the other two would sit next to Tang Can at mealtimes.

One day, Li Jianjian saw Tang Can's plate of vegetables and couldn't help but say, "Why do I see you eating vegetables every day? People need to eat meat."

As Li Jianjian spoke, she picked up a chicken leg and placed it on Tang Can's plate.

Tang Can paused for a moment, then whispered her thanks, "Thank you."

"fine."

Li Jianjian smiled and said.

After Li Jianjian finished speaking, she looked at Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan immediately understood and gave the chicken leg from his plate to Li Jianjian.

"hey-hey."

Li Jianjian smiled happily.

After a conversation, Tang Can gradually began to integrate into Li Jianjian's trio.

Okay, mainly it integrates into Li Jianjian and Qi Mingyue's small group, but Ji Yuan is not included.

……

Before you know it, a semester has come to an end.

This semester, Ji Yuan and Li Jianjian's biggest gain is probably that they have become friends with Tang Can.

Li Jianjian, Qi Mingyue, and Tang Can are now inseparable.

As for Tang Can, she hasn't taken a day off since her failed audition.

On the one hand, she really doesn't want to keep shooting commercials.

On the other hand, she really hasn't had any new works in a long time, and now she rarely gets offers for advertising.

Some of the offers were just small advertisements with very low prices, which Tang Can didn't even have to refuse; her demanding but incompetent mother rejected them outright.

He has no skills of his own, can't provide any support for his daughter, and doesn't even have a good plan for her, yet he keeps dreaming that his daughter will be a big star and even looks down on some low-priced small advertisements.

The reason why she can act this way is more or less due to the fact that Tang Can did earn a lot of money for the family in the past.

After they became familiar with each other, Ji Yuan also learned about it.

Tang Can did earn a lot of money in the past. She earned some money from acting when she was a child, and at that time the housing prices were also lower. Her parents used that money to buy two houses in Xiamen, but it was not the high-end community they had been in. It was an old community similar to Jinding Lane.

However, the fact that she easily earned enough money to buy two houses was a huge shock to her father, a truck driver, and her mother, a cashier.

That's how her mother gradually became like this.

The couple, to some extent, turned Tang Can into a cash cow.

……

winter vacation.

That day, Ling Heping drove to the airport to pick up Ling Xiao and He Ziqiu.

Ji Yuan and Li Jianjian waited at home.

He Mei returned early in the morning, while Li Haichao was cooking in the kitchen.

Li Jianjian wandered around the kitchen for a while, then nodded in satisfaction. Tonight would be another feast!

Not long after, Ling Heping returned with Ling Xiao and He Ziqiu.

"Big brother, little brother!"

Li Jianjian shouted happily.

Both of them smiled and nodded when they saw Li Jianjian.

The two put down their things and just sat down.

Li Jianjian immediately asked, "How was your university life?"

"It's alright, much easier than high school."

He Ziqiu replied.

"It's just that I won't be able to eat Li's cooking anymore."

Ling Xiao then spoke.

Li Haichao smiled happily upon hearing this: "Then go wash your hands and have dinner."

Soon, the family sat down around the table again.

"Come on, eat more. I've been away for almost half a year, I don't know if I've been eating well."

Li Haichao picked up his chopsticks and served food to Ling Xiao and He Ziqiu.

"Dad, don't worry, would we starve ourselves?"

He Ziqiu smiled and said.

"That's hard to say. Nothing outside is as good as home-cooked food. If you don't like the food outside, just tell Dad."

Li Haichao served food to the two of them while chattering on and on.

“Dad, you’re more like a mother than Aunt He Mei.”

Seeing this, Li Jianjian couldn't help but say something.

"Eat your food."

Li Haichao glared at Li Jianjian.

Li Jianjian chuckled and looked at Ling Xiao and He Ziqiu, asking, "Big brother, little brother, you've both been in university for a semester now, have you found girlfriends yet?"

"No."

Ling Xiao and He Ziqiu both shook their heads.

"Big brother, you need to hurry up. Little brother, you don't have to rush. In another year and a half, the moon will be in the same school as you."

Li Jianjian shook her head as she spoke.

Ling Xiao smiled and didn't mind.

He Ziqiu, on the other hand, had a bit of a headache.

He never expected that even though he had graduated from high school half a year ago, Qi Mingyue still hadn't given up on liking him.

In the six months he spent at university, the most frequent text messages or QQ messages he received, besides those from his family, came from Qi Mingyue.

He Ziqiu felt that half a year was still too short.

In another year and a half, the other party will probably stop thinking about him.

Dating? What's the point of dating? He doesn't want to date at all.

Compared to dating, he preferred helping Li Haichao at the noodle shop.

"I've met Mingyue many times, and I quite like this girl."

He Mei suddenly smiled and said.

He Ziqiu's eyes widened upon hearing this.

Li Haichao also spoke up, saying, "I think it's a good idea, Heping, what do you think?"

"Yes, that's suitable."

Ling Heping naturally echoed this sentiment.

The family started teasing He Ziqiu.

He Ziqiu felt a chill run down his spine.

He took it seriously.

Unexpectedly, he ran away, and the other party started trying to seduce his parents!

In fact, when Qi Mingyue saw Li Haichao and He Mei, she really did try to show off her abilities.

However, Li Haichao and He Mei would certainly not interfere in He Ziqiu's own affairs.

He Ziqiu has absolutely nothing to worry about.

"Son, are you being pursued by anyone at school?"

Ling Heping suddenly steered the conversation toward Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao was stunned for two seconds.

Yes, quite a few.

He Ziqiu quickly said.

Although the two were not in the same school, they lived close by and got to know each other's friends, so he knew about Ling Xiao's situation.

"Don't you have quite a few yourself?"

Ling Xiao immediately pulled He Ziqiu into the water.

"They both have suitors, but they're both single."

Ji Yuan said with a smile.

P.S.: My daily income is a bit low and still declining. I'm asking for some free donations!
