The waiter nodded: "Yes, young master."

“You’ve been down here for a while, hurry up and go back up, don’t keep them waiting,” Song Jianmei said.

"I'm going up now. We plan to go to Ailedi after we finish eating."

"Okay, I'll make some cold food and put it at the cashier later. Remember to take it to them."

Song Lingge returned to the private room, and the five of them happily enjoyed a very sumptuous dinner. After dinner, they drove to Ailedi.

Returning to this familiar place evoked a deep sense of nostalgia in everyone. It felt as if their school days were a thing of the last century.

However, all things considered, they had only been out of school for less than a year.

Song Lingge, Zhang Xiuxiu, and Yu Shaofen walked hand in hand in front, with Qiao Nansheng and Jing Chu following behind.

"School is so much better! The air is filled with that familiar smell." Zhang Xiuxiu took an exaggerated deep breath.

“Of course I’m familiar with it. This is a food street. The xiaolongbao, grilled squid, grilled oysters, hot pot skewers that you’re familiar with… all originated on this street,” Song Lingge joked with a smile.

In fact, not to mention Zhang Xiuxiu, even she misses this snack street very much.

I remember a lot of things happening here in the past.

She glanced back at Qiao Nansheng, only to find that he was also looking at her.

Song Lingge felt as if her soul had been suddenly struck.

Her soul and Qiao Nansheng's soul were always so in sync.

Turning around with a hint of panic, Song Lingge blushed unconsciously. She thought back to the very place where she and Qiao Nansheng had first discovered Song Jianping, and how the two had grown closer after that chase.

If it weren't for that accident, they might not have become familiar with each other so quickly.

Jingchu noticed all of their little actions.

Jing Chu nudged Qiao Nansheng with his elbow: "Do you two really have to be exchanging glances like that all the time? Don't you care about our feelings at all?"

Qiao Nansheng gestured with his chin toward Yu Shaofen: "Don't you have one too?"

Jing Chu scratched his head. Although he and Yu Shaofen were together, he never felt that they were as affectionate as Qiao Nansheng and Song Lingge.

Judging by the timeline, Song Lingge and Qiao Nansheng have been together for so long that the initial excitement should have worn off long ago. Meanwhile, he and Yu Shaofen are still in the honeymoon phase, but their relationship isn't nearly as strong as the other two's.

He couldn't figure out where the problem was.

“Shaofen, she…” Jing Chu wanted to ask Qiao Nansheng for advice.

"You two hurry up! What are you dawdling for?" Soon they arrived at Ailedi, and Song Lingge shouted at Qiao Nansheng and Jing Chu.

How did they fall so far behind without realizing it?

"They're here." Qiao Nansheng walked over quickly.

Jing Chu swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

After booking the private room, Song Lingge, as usual, went to the front desk to chat with Aunt Lu and Xiao Jiang about their recent situation, and also gave them the things that Song Jianmei had brought.

"The boss lady's cooking tastes so good, I really miss it!" Xiao Jiang couldn't wait to reach out and grab a piece to put in his mouth.

Aunt Lu slapped her hand: "Hurry up and get the chopsticks. You haven't even washed your hands. You're such a little glutton."

Xiao Jiang smiled sheepishly, then ran to the back to get chopsticks.

"How have things been lately? Has anyone been causing trouble?" Song Lingge asked.

Aunt Lu shook her head: "No, everything is fine! A few more shops have opened nearby, but ours is still the most popular."

Once the business takes off, there will definitely be competitors, and Song Lingge was already mentally prepared for that.

However, they were pioneers, which is much better than others.

"As long as no one causes trouble, that's fine. As for business, we'll earn more if there are customers and less if there aren't. There's no need to worry too much," Song Lingge said.

She wasn't born with a knack for business; she just took advantage of her rebirth to get ahead of others.

Besides, buying this storefront was a guaranteed profit. Whether she opens a restaurant or a KTV, it will generate extra income, and she's already very satisfied.

If the business can't continue, I can just sell the shop or, if all else fails, sell it. I won't lose money no matter what.

Back in the private room, Yu Shaofen and Jing Chu were singing a love song duet.

Zhang Xiuxiu was selecting songs, while Qiao Nansheng sat alone to the side.

Song Lingge walked over and sat down next to him, resting her head on his shoulder, enjoying the moment.

Only in front of true friends can she be so relaxed. Song Lingge loves this life and loves meeting this group of people.

When the song ended, the three people on the sofa clapped sparsely.

Zhang Xiuxiu turned around and asked, "Lingge, do you want to request a song? I don't know what to request."

Yu Shaofen jokingly said, "You usually hog the microphone, what's wrong with you today? Do you not know what to order, or is it because you're alone that you don't know what to order?"

Zhang Xiuxiu angrily lunged at her and was about to hit her.

Yu Shaofen didn't dodge and started playing around with her.

Jing Chu didn't want to join their battle. He wanted to sit down next to Qiao Nansheng, but when he saw the two of them being all lovey-dovey, he couldn't help but complain.

"Can you two stop being so lovey-dovey? This is a public place."

Song Lingge deliberately took Qiao Nansheng's arm and moved closer to him, saying provocatively, "So what?"

Jing Chu shook his head, looking hopeless, and found a seat in the middle.

Yu Shaofen and Zhang Xiuxiu stopped their playful fighting and sat down together.

Zhang Xiuxiu said, panting, "School is still the most comfortable!"

Yu Shaofen finally went along with her and agreed, saying, "Hmm, how about we go back to the dorm and stay for the night?"

"I'd rather not. It's been so long since anyone lived here, it must be covered in dust. I'm exhausted after a long day, I don't want to clean it up again," Zhang Xiuxiu said with difficulty.

"Forget about it!" No matter how much she missed it, Yu Shaofen compromised when it came to practical reasons.

Anyway, I'll have to go back to school before graduation, so I'll talk about it then!

“I lived at school longer than you did, but I never thought about going back. You have no idea how scared I was when I ran into some thugs.”

Zhang Xiuxiu's words brought everyone back to their memories.

The time Xia Jiaojiao arranged for thugs to harass Song Lingge was truly too dangerous for them.

If Song Lingge hadn't been a trained martial artist, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Qiao Nansheng gripped Song Lingge's hand tightly.

No one knows how scared he was at the time.

"Do you think it's possible..." A thought flashed through Song Lingge's mind, and she sat up straight.

"Is it possible?" Qiao Nansheng asked.

"Xia Jiaojiao admitted that she arranged it, but she was still abroad at the time. Although she didn't directly admit it, she..."

"Are you suspicious?" Qiao Nansheng asked meaningfully.

Song Lingge nodded.

Completely baffled, Jingchu said with a bewildered look, "Can you two stop speaking in riddles?"
