Chapter 29: Infinite Support

  At noon, four people had lunch in a newly opened small restaurant. The restaurant has been open for just over a week and the surrounding decoration looks brand new. The style of decoration is elegant, with light blue single sofas and oval-shaped dining tables, which look quite unusual but blend exceptionally well with the overall style of the restaurant.

  The last time, it was the first dinner for four people in two months. They were busy with various papers and work after graduation. Although two of them are famous geniuses in Beijing, and their appearance is top-notch, finding a job is not easy just because of good grades and looks. When entering society, people look at your education background, but also at your ability. What you learn in school is always superficial and only on the surface. Practice, although they all had some practice during university, was always temporary, and what they learned was very little.

  Especially Lin Hanxiang, who is preparing to enter a foreign company, needs to prepare even more.

  "How's it going? I see you've been busy for the past six months, how are things at work?" The two of them were friends before, but their relationship wasn't close. Both were charismatic figures with exceptional talent, and they had a deep affection for each other in their hearts, but due to certain circumstances, their relationship remained lukewarm. Now, because of Su Mo Ruo, they were brought together again. The more Lin Han Xiang interacted with Tan Yun Ning, the more he felt drawn to her like a magnet, wanting to explore further, but she was like an iceberg - whenever he tried to get closer, she would shut him out, leaving him unable to probe deeper.

  "Mm." He nodded slightly, which was his way of responding.

  It's been over half a year since they've been getting along like this, so they're already used to it. Seeing him nodding, he knew that he had found his own job and was happy for him in his heart. "That's good, my work has also been settled... by the way, what is the nature of your job? Is it consistent with your major?" They studied business administration, and the job he found was also relevant, but it still needed some time to show off his abilities in the early stages, starting from a low position.

  "Teacher." A faint reply of just two words came back.

  Apart from Sumojo, the other two people's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise. Two pairs of eyes looked at the man in front of them with an expression of disbelief. What did he say? Teacher? They hadn't misheard, had they?

  Two people stared at each other, and Su Mo couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  Listening to Su Mo's soft voice, Tan Yun Ning raised his head and gave her a glance. Although he didn't say anything, she could still understand the look in his eyes. It seemed that he was somewhat angry.

  Hastily holding back her smile, a pair of bright eyes still gazed at him, her cheeks slightly flushed.

  "If you hold back too much, you'll become stupid." The crowd said a few words to Su Mo Ruo, although they were a bit more verbose, but Su Mo Ruo was already fuming with anger. Although he had said fewer words earlier, they were all well-spoken, but now that he spoke more, he was actually scolding himself.

  "Take a look, it's just right if our Tan Da Shao can say a few more words." Song Xue Li, who was standing beside her, rolled her eyes and looked displeased.

  The corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a hint of a smile that was hard to detect, and it vanished in an instant, as if he had just been about to speak but hadn't.

  Next to him, Lin Hanxiang also chimed in, "Yes, our Tan Dacai seems to only be like a human when speaking with Xiao Ruo, and that mouth of his which is as tight as a secret agent's can only utter a few more words."

  One icy glance swept past Lin Huanxiang, who had just finished speaking, like a sharp ice knife, slashing at his face with each stroke, freezing Lin Huanxiang to the point where he couldn't help but shiver. He immediately apologized repeatedly: "Tangzi, I was wrong! Don't keep throwing icy glances at me, it's not like I'm the only one who said that." The last sentence seemed to be muttered under his breath, but every word was clearly audible to everyone present.

  "Lin Hanxiang, you scoundrel! I'm going to fight it out with you. Every time, you're always trying to curry favor." Song Xueli was not someone to be trifled with, and every time the two of them would engage in a war of words that would shake the heavens and move the gods.

  And every time the two of them make a scene, Su Mo and Tan Yun Ning sit on one side, watching with cold eyes or directly enjoying the show, not even bothering to intervene, no matter how pitifully one of them cries out. They both appear extremely calm, as if they're watching a spectacular performance that can't be missed. Isn't this just describing the scene these two create for them every time they eat? Such a situation is priceless, so how could they possibly bear to personally interrupt this spectacle?

  All of this is free, they are poor students, so it's impossible for them to pay money to perform.

  At this moment, "If you don't save me, this dead girl doesn't know how to cherish and pity a woman. I'm also a woman, after all." Song Xue Li cried out in despair, her heart burning with anger. Damn it, she's a big beauty, at least more beautiful than Su Mo Rou. Among the four of them, there are only two women, and she is the most beautiful one, yet she doesn't know how to cherish and pity a woman.

  Of course, all of Song's self-satisfaction is just her own feeling good about herself; the two men don't think so.

  "Song Xue Li, you'd better not speak ill of others so much. Your mouth is always spewing rubbish, can't you be a bit more elegant? Take Mo Ruo as an example, she's got good breeding, unlike you, who's like a country bumpkin."

  "Ah——Lin Hansheng you go die, Lao Niang is a great beauty, with a thousand charms and allurements, and yet you dare to humiliate me like this——" Our Song Xiaojie let out an earth-shattering, soul-stirring scream.

  The two words "insult" carry a bit of malicious humor, but the hesitant tone is louder. To others, it sounds explosive and tense. If it really means what they think, these two words would have occurred in their newly opened restaurant, and they would have to close the door for investigation.

  They are small businesses with no backing, and cannot withstand such devastating pressure.

  Even if it was just a few people who wanted a small private room, it undoubtedly spread far and wide from the private room, directly startling the service staff outside.

  When the waitress rushed over with a communication device in her hand, ready to call for help at any moment, she saw a chaotic scene of a man and a woman fighting inside. No, to be exact, it was a crazy woman desperately tearing off a man's clothes, while a man and a woman stood by watching calmly. The scene was extremely shocking.

  Looking at the service staff who was stunned on the spot, Su Mo Rou coughed and cleared her throat, then calmly waved her hand at the service staff, "Two people are practicing their skills, it's none of your business, go out first."

  Tan Yuning sat calmly on the sofa, listening to this, her mouth slightly curled up.

  When the waiter walked out, Song Xue Li and Lin Han Xiang had already stopped, both of their faces looked normal, if not for Lin Han Xiang's slightly disheveled clothes proving that what just happened was real, it would have seemed like the previous scene was just everyone's imagination.

  "You're quite enough, every time you take action it's so rustic." Not having in-depth contact with Lin Han Xiang, I really didn't know that Lin Han Xiang was also a poisonous tongue. For his true friends, his personality is not relatively lively, just like Su Mo Ruo, belonging to the type that can be both quiet and active.

  Upon hearing this, Song Xue Li pursed her lips and her eyes were filled with discontent towards him, but she didn't say anything.

  The two people's conversation came to an end, and the dishes were slowly served.

  A few people, apart from Song Xiaojie, were very frugal in their daily lives and also had income, so they could still afford to have such gatherings every now and then.

  After dinner, several people were happy to drink a little wine. Everyone knew that Song Xue Li couldn't drink, but this woman seemed to be in high spirits today and got drunk directly. In the end, she was sent back to her dormitory by Lin Han Xiang.

  Tan Yunning and Su Mo Ruo, however, found a spot by the river, each ordered a cup of plain water, and sat down to chat.

  Usually, even with Lin Hanxiang and Song Xue Li, two friends he's very close to, Tan Yunning doesn't say much, but with Su Mo Ruo, in private, for some reason, he has a lot to say, sometimes even sharing his heart with her.
