Chapter 145 Separated for Many Years, Sisters with Different Fathers and Mothers
Around 11 p.m., Shao Xingchi helped the drunk Chen Rui back to the hotel.

Originally, they were just going to drink beer, but Chen Rui felt that beer wasn't strong enough, so he insisted on ordering two bottles of Red Star Erguotou.

In the end, he successfully got himself drunk.

I threw up once on the way back to the hotel, and then threw up again while sitting on the toilet after I got to my room.

Shao Xingchi settled the person in bed before leaving.

The next morning, Chen Rui was woken up by the doorbell.

He opened the door and found his father, Chen Bo.

As soon as Chen Bo entered, he asked Chen Rui if he had drunk too much last night.

Chen Rui nodded.

Chen Bo then asked:

Are you going to visit Kyoto University again this morning?

"go with!"

Chen Rui's attitude was surprisingly firm.

Seeing this, Chen Bo sighed inwardly.

They're still not giving up.

After breakfast, Chen Bo and his son left the hotel and took a taxi straight to Peking University.

Around the same time, Xu Hongmi, Xu Jianguo, and Liu Guiqin also boarded the car arranged by the travel agency.

Our first stop was to climb the Great Wall.

Over the next few days, Chen Rui accompanied his father to visit all the museums, big and small, in Yanjing.

Xu Hongmi's family also visited all the major scenic spots in Yanjing.

Xu Hongdou attends classes during the day and rehearses for the welcome party program at night. She only had time to accompany her parents to watch the flag-raising ceremony once.

During the trip, Xu Hongdou had a meal with Yang Tao's family, but she missed it because of rehearsals.

After finishing her class on Friday afternoon, Xu Hongdou called Xu Hongmi.

Upon learning that they had returned to the hotel, I arranged to have dinner together that evening.

Xu Hongdou walked to Fairfield Inn and encountered Zhu Suosuo on the way.

It was only when we started chatting that I learned Zhu Suosuo was also going to Fairfield Inn.

Zhu Suosuo's best friend came from Shanghai. She just got in the car from the airport and is on her way to the hotel.

It should arrive soon.

If it weren't for the fact that the teacher in the afternoon calculus class took attendance every class, Zhu Suosuo would have gone directly to the airport to pick someone up.

Which school does your friend go to?

"Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Architecture major."

"Great!"

"Oh right, red beans." Zhu Suosuo seemed to suddenly remember something.

He stopped and carefully examined Xu Hongdou.

Xu Hongdou found the look on her strange and asked Zhu Suosuo what was wrong.

"When I first saw you, I thought you looked exactly like my friend."

"Really?"

Seeing that Xu Hongdou thought she was joking, Zhu Suosuo immediately raised her hand and swore that she was absolutely not lying.

As she spoke, she took out her phone and showed Xu Hongdou photos of her friends.

When Xu Hongdou saw the girl named Jiang Nansun on her phone, she realized that she looked about six or seven points like herself.

"See, I didn't lie to you!"

Just as Zhu Suosuo was about to put her phone away, a call came in.

The caller ID showed that it was indeed Jiang Nansun.

Zhu Suosuo answered the phone immediately.

"Nan Sun, have you arrived yet? The driver said we'll be there in five minutes. Okay, I've finished class and will be there soon."

After putting down her phone, Zhu Suosuo took Xu Hongdou's arm.

"Let's go, my friend is almost here. I'll take you to meet her in person, and give her a surprise."

Before Xu Hongdou could even refuse, Zhu Suosuo pulled her toward the school gate.

A taxi stopped in front of Fairfield by Marriott Hotel.

Wang Niulang is off today, so only Zhang Guangzheng and Shao Xingchi are on duty.

The two worked together very well; one was responsible for opening the door, and the other for carrying the luggage.

If the customer leaves a tip, then split it equally.

Zhang Guangzheng stepped forward and opened the car door. A beautiful girl in a white dress got out of the car.

Her delicate face was adorned with light makeup, paired with long, straight, black hair that swayed over her shoulders, exuding an ethereal, artistic, and otherworldly charm.

Even a simple outfit can evoke a sense of youthful, innocent first love.

"Thank you."

After the girl got off the bus, she smiled and nodded at Zhang Guangzheng.

Her voice is soft and sweet, overflowing with gentleness.

Zhang Guangzheng's mind went blank for a moment, and he was completely stunned.

At this moment, Shao Xingchi had already taken both of the girl's suitcases, one large and one small, out of the trunk.

Seeing this, the girl opened her handbag, took out her wallet, and handed over a hundred-yuan tip.

She also said "thank you" in a graceful and appropriate manner.

She exudes the aura of a young lady from the bottom of her heart.

Shao Xingchi accepted the tip and worked even harder to help the girl push her suitcase up, preparing to go inside.

Zhang Guangzheng only came to his senses at this moment, and quickly turned around and walked towards the glass revolving door, preparing to open the door for the girl first.

Just as the girl was about to enter, a surprised shout suddenly came from behind her.

"Nan Sun!"

The girl turned around and saw Zhu Suosuo walking hand in hand with Xu Hongdou, and her face lit up with joy.

"Lock lock!"

Zhu Suosuo released Xu Hongdou's arm and lunged at the girl with open arms.

The girl quickly stepped forward and took Zhu Suosuo's hand.

The two hugged lightly, and after they separated, Zhu Suosuo immediately introduced the girl to Xu Hongdou, who was standing to the side.

"On the way here, I found you a half-sister who you've been separated from for many years. She looks like you, doesn't she?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Hongdou offered her hand.

"I am Suo Suo's classmate, Xu Hongdou."

The girl also extended her hand.

"Jiang Nansun".

The two shook hands briefly, each taking the opportunity to sized the other up.

Although Zhu Suosuo's words were a joke, both women had to admit that she did look somewhat like them.

It resembles the spirit as well as the form.

Standing together, they can easily be confused at first glance.

Of course, upon closer inspection, the differences are quite obvious.

Xu Hongdou is the kind of beauty who looks good with both light and heavy makeup, while Jiang Nansun is the kind of beauty who looks stunning with light makeup.

At the same time, the two have very different temperaments.

She has a cool and aloof demeanor.

A gentle and elegant one.

In particular, Jiang Nansun's air of being a pampered young lady is very easy to recognize.

Zhu Suosuo, with one arm around Jiang Nansun and the other around Xu Hongdou, walked into the hotel lobby together, making Zhang Guangzheng, who opened the door, stare wide-eyed.

Just then, Shao Xingchi was about to enter the lobby with two suitcases, one large and one small, when Zhang Guangzheng, realizing what was happening, immediately stopped him.

"Xingchi, I'll take your luggage with me."

"Senior brother, what's wrong with you—"

"The tip from earlier is all yours."

Without saying a word, Shao Xingchi immediately handed over his luggage to Zhang Guangzheng.

Zhang Guangzheng pushed his luggage into the lobby, where Jiang Nansun had already completed the check-in procedures.

Her room happened to be on the same floor as Xu Hongmi and the others.

Since they didn't have much luggage, Zhang Guangzheng and the three women, including Jiang Nansun, took an elevator upstairs and carried their luggage all the way to Jiang Nansun's room.

Jiang Nansun gave Zhang Guangzheng another hundred yuan as a tip.

Zhang Guangzheng hurriedly waved his hand to refuse, saying that he had already given a tip once and did not need to give another one.

Jiang Nansun did not insist and put the money back into his bag.

After entering the room, Zhu Suosuo teased Jiang Nansun, saying that she was indeed a young lady, giving away a hundred-dollar tip without even blinking an eye.

Jiang Nansun retorted, "Isn't this how all high-end hotels tip?" She used to tip like this when she traveled with her parents and stayed in hotels.

Zhu Suosuo could only shrug at this, indicating that poverty had limited her imagination.

After putting away their luggage, Jiang Nansun asked about dinner.

Lying on the soft, comfortable bed in the room, Zhu Suosuo joked, "You've eaten all the delicacies imaginable, so I can only treat you to the school cafeteria!"

Jiang Nansun immediately made the decision: "Okay, let's go eat Yangzhou fried rice at your school then."

Zhu Suosuo sprang out of bed on the spot, staring wide-eyed at Jiang Nansun.

Why not pork trotter rice?

Jiang Nansun winked playfully at Zhu Suosuo: "Because the Yangzhou fried rice is double the price!"

This is what Zhang Kai said in the second episode of "A Bite of the University Cafeteria" by Old Boys.

With the video's popularity and viral success, it has become a popular internet slang term.

After watching this video, Jiang Nansun also learned this "meme".

However, what actually touched Jiang Nansun the most in this video was the narration during the demonstration of the fried rice making process: "The warmth of everyday life is what soothes the human heart."

These words really touched the heart of Jiang Nansun, this artistic young woman.

Before this video was released, Jiang Nansun and Zhu Suosuo had already agreed that their first meal in Yanjing would be the signature braised pork trotters rice at Yanjing Trade University.

Now that he has changed his mind at the last minute, it cannot be said that Jiang Nansun has breached the contract.

After all, there's a heated debate online about whether Yanjingmao's signature dish is braised pork trotters rice or Yangzhou fried rice.

The school's intranet also launched a poll for this purpose.

Braised pork knuckle rice or Yangzhou fried rice, which do you prefer?
More than ten million campus users participated in the vote, and the two sides were neck and neck.

While the voting is in full swing, the specialty dishes of university canteens across the country are also vying for a spot.

Following He Yueyue's scandal and the explosive popularity of "The Lone Warrior," Yan Jingmao has once again become the focus of online discussion because of its food.

Inside the room, Zhu Suosuo and Jiang Nansun had just reached a consensus on what to have for dinner.

"Ding dong!"

The doorbell rang.

Zhu Suosuo opened the door and found Xu Hongdou standing at the door.

Xu Hongmi, Liu Guiqin, and Xu Jianguo stood behind him.

"SuoSuo, who is it?"

Jiang Nansun's voice came from inside the house.

Zhu Suosuo turned around and replied, "It's Hongdou's family. Her sister and parents are all here."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nansun immediately came out of the room.

Liu Guiqin and Xu Jianguo were both a little stunned when they first saw Jiang Nansun.

This girl looks just like my own Dou'er!
"Hello, uncle and aunt!"

"Hello sister!"

With Zhu Suosuo's introduction, Jiang Nansun greeted Xu Hongdou's family very politely.

Xu Hongdou also explained her purpose to Zhu Suosuo and Jiang Nansun.

"I just came to say hello, I have to go now."

Zhu Suosuo checked the time before opening the door; it was only 5:40.

Is it too early for Xu Hongdou's family to go for dinner now?
Noticing Zhu Suosuo's confusion, Xu Hongdou whispered a reminder:

"Have you forgotten we have rehearsal tonight?"

Zhu Suosuo slapped her forehead.

I was so happy when Jiang Nansun came today that I completely forgot about this matter.

"Let's go too. If you want to eat Yangzhou fried rice, you'll have to wait in line. If you go later, it'll be sold out."

Zhu Suosuo turned to Jiang Nansun and said.

Jiang Nansun nodded and was about to change his shoes when he suddenly heard Xu Hongdou say:
"Are you going to eat Yangzhou fried rice too?"

Zhu Suosuo and Jiang Nansun were both stunned.

"The same to you?"

Zhu Suosuo asked tentatively.

Xu Hongdou nodded.

What a coincidence.

Zhu Suosuo cheered.

"How about we go together!"

After Xu Hongdou agreed, Zhu Suosuo immediately urged Jiang Nansun to change his shoes.

"No need to rush, Nan Nan has already gone to queue up for me. I'll call her and ask her to order two more servings."

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhu Suosuo rushed up and hugged Xu Hongdou, thanking her repeatedly.

Jiang Nansun quickly changed his shoes as well.

After all, Xu Hongdou's whole family was waiting at the door, and Jiang Nansun's manners were excellent in this respect.

She had none of the temperament or airs of a spoiled young lady.

When they were taking the elevator downstairs, Xu Hongmi asked where the Sisters Who Make Waves were rehearsing.

"The venue was rented from an off-campus dance training institution, and the teachers were from Yanwu Dance School."

Zhu Suosuo spoke first.

Xu Hongmi smiled.

"They're quite professional."

Jiang Nansun was quite surprised.

"SuoSuo, are you going to perform on stage again tomorrow night?"

Zhu Suosuo had never mentioned this before.

"Yes, that's why I can't stay with you tonight, but I'll definitely give you a big surprise tomorrow night."

Zhu Suosuo explained apologetically.

"Why wait until tomorrow night? I can go with you tonight."

Jiang Nansun had come specifically to visit Zhu Suosuo, and he was too bored staying in the hotel alone at night.

Zhu Suosuo hugged Xu Hongdou's arm and said confidently, "Hongdou can testify for me. We have all signed contracts with the company, and the program content is prohibited from being leaked before the official performance."

Xu Hongmi's voice rang out.

“I told Xu Hongdou I was going to go see it a couple of days ago, and she said the same thing to me, making it all very mysterious.”

What seemed like a complaint was actually an attempt to help Zhu Suosuo out of a difficult situation.

Seeing that Jiang Nansun finally stopped insisting, Zhu Suosuo immediately cast a grateful look at Xu Hongmi.

The group left the hotel and walked to the entrance of Yanjingmao School.

Zhu Suosuo and Jiang Nansun took a photo together in front of the school gate, which was taken by Xu Hongmi with her portable point-and-shoot camera.

After seeing the photos, the two of them were quite satisfied.

Just as I was about to return the camera to Xu Hongmi, I saw two boys walking out of the school.

When Jiang Nansun saw the tall boy, his eyes lit up.

That guy is so handsome!
If he were at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, he'd be more than qualified to be the campus heartthrob.

Just as she was about to ask Zhu Suosuo, she saw her best friend frowning and staring at the boy with a displeased look.

You still recognize them?
"Zhu Suosuo!"

Another chubby boy was the first to greet them; his accent clearly indicated he was from Shanghai.

Then the tall and handsome boy also came over to say hello, but not to Zhu Suosuo.

"Uncle Xu, Aunt Liu, Sister Hongmi, is Xu Hongdou taking you to eat at the cafeteria again today?"

Xu Hongdou immediately corrected:
"What do you mean 'again'? This is only the second time today, okay?"

The boy then asked:
"Shall we go get Yangzhou fried rice?"

Xu Hongdou didn't even bother to answer.

Isn’t this asking knowingly?

On the contrary, Xu Hongdou's parents chatted and laughed with the boy for quite a while.

It made it seem like the boy was part of their family, while Xu Hongdou was an outsider.

"SuoSuo, who is that boy?"

"His name is Huang He, but everyone calls him Xiao He. He's from Shanghai, just like us. He's a really nice guy."

"It's not him, it's the other one."

"Believe me, you won't want to know his name."

Zhu Suosuo's words made Jiang Nansun even more curious.

"Why?"

"Because he's the culprit who made it impossible for me to spend tonight with you!"

Zhu Suosuo said bitterly.
