Chapter 377: Everything Arranged
Not long after, both Li Li and Mao Xiaomei came out, with sweat on their foreheads. They looked worried and tired, anxious yet calm. As for how they did on the test, Qin Xiangnuan didn’t ask, but they probably did fine; otherwise, they would be crying.
"Let’s go, time to eat. I’ve reserved a table already."
Jian Zhiqing handed the cup he was holding to Qin Xiangnuan, urging her to drink. Qin Xiangnuan took the cup, poured a glass of water, and looked around. At this time, all the students were coming out. Soon, it would be time to eat, and there might be no place available. There weren’t many places to dine nearby at the time, and it wasn’t like the future where hotels were everywhere. After all, transportation wasn’t that developed now and the food and beverage industry hadn’t expanded as quickly as it would later.
The early bird catches the worm. Otherwise, just looking for a place to eat would involve running around, and you might end up with neither a place found nor food eaten.
They were in the midst of exams, where there was no room for any slip-up. What if they didn’t eat enough and suffered from low blood sugar? What if someone got so nervous during the test that they fainted?
The restaurant Jian Zhiqing chose was not far away, just a ten-minute walk. The students were just coming out, so the rush to eat hadn’t started. However, if they waited half an hour, the place would probably be crowded with people.
Jian Zhiqing ordered several dishes. With himself, Qin Xiangnuan, and her two friends, the dishes ordered were sufficient for them to eat.
Their dishes had just arrived when the restaurant started filling up with people. Outside, many people were waiting, all there to eat. With the large crowd and limited tables, the restaurant was fully seated, but there were still many students outside.
"Eat quickly, stop looking around," Jian Zhiqing tapped the table lightly with his finger, "After we finish, we should make room for others."
