Chapter 12 Tablemates
Xu Chen took back his mobile phone from Ma Xiang's hand.
Ma Xiang only flipped through a dozen text messages, but it was enough.
Half of his already ugly face was buried under his slanted bangs, making him look even more awkward.
Another "god brother" sees clearly his true identity as the "big wronged".
Xu Chen patted Ma Xiang's shoulder with a comforting expression.
There is another lonely and sober injured man in the world, and the non-mainstream little green tea has lost another wronged dog-licker.
As for Zhao Linlin's follow-up, Xu Chen no longer wanted to care at all.
And Xu Chen didn't think it was too much to expose Zhao Linlin's true face in front of his "godbrother".
After all, what Zhao Linlin has done and what she is going to do will obviously be more extreme.
A small punishment is not worth mentioning.
Xie Bingran had already reached the entrance of the alley. She turned her head and glanced at Xu Chen with cold and gloomy eyes to express her urging.
"Coming!"
Xu Chen muttered and quickly followed.
……
Walking all the way towards McDonald's, Xu Chen walked side by side with "Brother Bing".
Xie Bingran put his hands in his pockets and held a cigarette in his mouth without saying a word.
Xu Chen didn't know what to say, so he walked silently.
He and the current "Brother Bing" are actually not very close.
The Xie Bingran in Xu Chen's memory was still the introverted and skinny girl at the same table in junior high school.
And the "Brother Bing" in front of him, at 1.74 meters tall, was only half a head shorter than Xu Chen.
……
McDonald's has been booming since it opened at the beginning of the year.
For residents of small counties in this era, McDonald's is really expensive.
But this fast food is still a new thing after all, and the queue to order is very long every day.
At this time, many middle and high school students in the county were proud to have eaten at McDonald's.
After eating a McDonald's meal, I felt like I had seen the world, and my whole aura seemed to be foreign-style.
Some students even have to prepare an "ordering strategy" in advance before going to McDonald's, for fear that others will see that it is their first time there and be looked down upon as a bumpkin from the countryside...
And those children who are familiar with how to order food and are familiar with various hamburger set meals hold their heads high and point out the country when ordering food. They are almost proud to the sky!
Even more arrogant and proud than being number one in the school...
At this time, Xu Chen walked into this McDonald's for the first time, but he looked familiar.
After all, I have been here many times in my previous life, not to mention that McDonald's all over the country basically look the same.
Even in the past twenty years, the classic set menus of grilled chicken drumsticks and spicy chicken drumsticks are still the same.
Xu Chen took Xie Bingran and went straight to the second floor.
At a small corner, he finally found two connected places, and Xu Chen settled Xie Bingran first.
"Wait, I'll line up, what do you want to eat?"
"What you buy, I eat."
Xie Bingran still had the unlit cigarette in her mouth.
Xu Chen stretched out his hand and took out the cigarette.
This sudden move made Xie Bingran shrink back, as if he was startled.
But even though she regained her "Brother Bing's" domineering calmness, she had no intention of getting angry with Xu Chen.
"Don't smoke anymore, it affects your lung capacity."
Xie Bingran was stunned for a moment, probably thinking that Xu Chen's words were a bit inexplicable.
Why does it involve lung capacity?
As a "big sister", how can I not smoke?
A boss who doesn't smoke is too destructive to his aura.
But who would have expected that after hearing Xu Chen's words, Xie Bingran's eyes suddenly dodge, as if a child who made a mistake was suddenly caught by his parents.
She didn't speak, just said "oh" softly.
Xu Chen went downstairs alone.
"Brother Bing" looked indifferent and sat there with his hands in his pockets, waiting.
The seat next to her is the last available seat on the second floor.
Several people wanted to come and sit down, but seeing "Brother Bing"'s untouchable look, they all wandered away.
Xie Bingran waited quietly.
At one moment, she took out half a pack of cigarettes from her pants pocket. He crushed it flatly and threw it into the trash can next to him.
……
On the first floor of McDonald's, Xu Chen stood at the end of the queue.
In this era, there were no mobile phones to order food, so you could only wait in a long line and wait quietly.
After waiting for almost twenty minutes, Xu Chen finally arrived.
Without looking at the menu on the light box, he directly ordered two sets of grilled chicken drumsticks and spicy chicken drumsticks. He also ordered two pineapple pies and two chicken McNuggets.
The skillful and relaxed way he ordered food also made the two junior high school students behind him admire him very much when they came to Mak Kee for the first time...
The meal came out very quickly.
Without waiting any longer, Xu Chen carried the dinner plate up to the second floor.
In that small corner, Xie Bingran sat there quietly, her hands still in her pockets, as if she hadn't moved at all.
The seats were crowded, and when Xu Chen sat next to each other, his elbows almost collided with Xie Bingran's.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Xie Bingran had nowhere to hide, after all, there was only so much space.
When she saw Xu Chen sitting close to him like this, her eyes swayed imperceptibly, and a trace of reserve flashed through her eyes.
Xu Chen put down the tray and placed burgers, French fries, Coke, etc. in front of Xie Bingran one by one.
This scene suddenly felt familiar to him.
When they were in junior high school a few years ago, when the two of them were sitting at the same table, Xu Chen would often buy all kinds of food, put them on the table, and give them to Xie Bingran, who had no money to eat...
Xu Chen smiled:
"Eat! Let it cool down in a while."
Xie Bingran looked down at the burger in front of him, but still had his hands in his pockets, seeming hesitant.
Xu Chen was stunned for a moment, but then he understood.
Although Brother Bing is "mighty and domineering", it's probably his first time eating McDonald's and he doesn't understand how to eat this foreign burger.
Xu Chen remembered that the first time he ate a burger in his previous life was when his father, Xu Zhiquan, brought him here.
The father and son looked confused and were still asking the waiter for chopsticks...
Xu Chen picked up the burger in front of Xie Bingran, helped her open the seal, and wrapped it again, revealing just half of the burger.
"Like this...eat with your hands."
Xu Chen said softly.
Xie Bingran said "Oh" and finally took out his hands from his pockets.
Her movements were a little jerky as she went to take the burger from Xu Chen's hand.
Xie Bingran's slender fingers accidentally touched Xu Chen's hand, and she immediately retracted her hand.
Xu Chen smiled:
"This burger doesn't eat people. I, Brother Bing, am still afraid of this?"
Xie Bingran suddenly showed a cold look on his face, and gave Xu Chen a threatening look in his eyes.
But immediately, with the attitude and appearance of "Brother Bing", she took the burger carelessly.
Xu Chen saw Xie Bingran's hands clearly at close range and couldn't help but frown.
There were several band-aids on each of the two hands, and blood and scars could be seen on the back and wrist of the right hand.
It was obvious that these were traces of a fight.
There is naturally a reason why others are so afraid of "Brother Bing".
Xu Chen didn't say anything, picked up his burger and ate it.
Xie Bingran tilted his head slightly and glanced at Xu Chen's movements while eating the burger. Then he became a little cautious and took a bite...
Xu Chen chewed heavily and secretly glanced at Xie Bingran eating the burger, feeling a little emotional in his heart.
Yi Bo Yuntian, my Brother Bing, the female God of War in No. 1 Middle School, Xie Bingran who is feared by countless gangsters...
In Xu Chen's eyes at this moment, he was still the pitiful, introverted and reserved deskmate from back then.
Okay...
Over the years, in fact, you haven’t changed at all, right?
Then you can rest assured.
……
Without saying a word, Xie Bingran quickly finished the entire burger, then picked up the chicken nuggets and ate them.
Xu Chen remembered that one time in junior high school, he bought burritos and gave them to Xie Bingran, and she devoured three of them.
Later I found out that this little girl had actually been hungry for two days...
Xie Bingran took a few sips of Coke and suddenly said:
"You eat slowly, I have something to go out to."
