Ch.409 Give Me A Chance (3)

Sometimes, it doesn’t matter whether one has known someone earlier or later in time, but at the right time. Maybe if they knew each other at the very beginning, they might not work together and clean together like they are now. It is precisely because they met at this moment that made him feel like everything was just right.

It took them two hours to clean the place. When they sat down to take a rest, Su Yaya went and brought over two bottles of water, one for each.

After sitting for a while, Su Yaya and Zhou Zhengqi had a good rest. Seeing that it was getting late, they headed out to have Mala Hotpot.

The restaurant was not far away. It took about 20 minutes to drive there. The place remained the same. Even the location didn’t change. It only went through a renovation, and the space looked bigger than before.

There were not many people in the restaurant. Su Yaya and Zhou Zhengqi walked into the store, the boss greeted them enthusiastically and asked them to pick out what they wanted to eat.

Su Yaya passed Zhou Zhengqi a basket to place the ingredients, and said with a smile: "Choose what you want to eat."

Zhou Zhengqi glanced at the various ingredients in the freezer, and a smile appeared on his handsome face, " I'll dig right in then."

The Mala Hotpot was extremely cheap. Zhou Zhengqi and Su Yaya picked their favorite ingredients and filled the large basket full. In the end, it only cost less than 30 yuan, which was really a huge gap with the price they had in mind.

Su Yaya said in embarrassment, "You helped me to clean, but I’m treating you to such cheap food."

Zhou Zhengqi didn’t care, “What’s wrong with that, what I’m having is not the main point. The main point is who I’m having this meal with, and whether or not it is an enjoyable experience. If I’m having a meal with someone I don’t like, even if I’m having delicacies from all around the world, I will still feel uncomfortable, don’t you agree?"

"That’s true." Su Yaya nodded with a sense of reason.

Su Yaya and Zhou Zhengqi tried their best to finish the large pot of Mala Hotpot. The two of them were extremely full in the end, but there were still leftovers in the pot.

Zhou Zhengqi suggested: “Let’s go for a stroll around the school, to help with digestion."

Su Yaya also had such an intention, and agreed without hesitation.

The two exited the Mala Hotpot restaurant and walked all the way back to school.

There was not much that changed, but the former academic building and library in the seven districts was rebuilt. The academic building was built even taller than before, from seven to twelve stories, and the library from three stories to five stories, so even more students could learn and study there.

The two of them walked around the school’s lake and field, they walked for almost an hour before leaving as the late night fell.

Zhou Zhengqi drove Su Yaya back home as she would only move from her current rental place to the new house tomorrow.

Once the car drove to the entrance of the alleyway and stopped, Su Yaya thanked Zhou Zhengqi, "Thank you for sending me back."

Zhou Zhengqi smiled back at her, "No worries."

"Goodbye then." Su Yaya waved to him, opened the door and got out of the car.

Zhou Zhengqi watched as she got out of the car. She only managed to take a few steps forward when he eagerly opened the door and got out of the car, he then shouted at her slender figure from behind, "Su Yaya!"

Su Yaya, who was walking ahead, turned back, a smile formed on her pretty face as she looked at Zhou Zhengqi who was standing under the streetlight and asked: "What's the matter?"

Listening to her gentle and sweet voice, as he looked at her charming smile, a sense of nervousness surged in Zhou Zhengqi's heart. This was a feeling he had never felt before even when he was in negotiations for business deals. His heart was beating fast, he then took a deep breath, and looked at Su Yaya as he asked: "That day, I told you to think about it and then give me an answer. What are your thoughts about it now? Can you give me a chance to prove myself?"
