1413 The Gaze of a Single

In her previous life, Jian Ai also majored in finance, so she went to work in real estate thereafter.

However, why did she change her major now? It was because she still remembered everything she had learned in her previous life, so she had long thought of changing her major in university.

Secondly, she was more concerned about the future. Artificial intelligence and the Internet were the trend in China’s future market. She needed to become more professional so that her future path would be smoother.

Therefore, even if she was not interested in computer science, in the long term, she still applied for this major.

Of course, she would not tell her roommates this.

Therefore, Jian Ai smiled and said, “I’m interested.”

Yang Xiaoman couldn’t help but laugh. “You’re indeed special. I felt that way the first time I saw you.”

Jian Ai gave Yang Xiaoman a look and smiled. “I’m just ordinary!”

“You two knew each other long ago?” Yao Daiyu asked after getting some clues from their conversation.

Jian Ai and Xiaoman nodded at the same time. Xiaoman said, “Two years ago, my family opened a roast duck shop in an alley in Huagang District. One day…”

This story was exciting enough. Yang Xiaoman told it to the other two in detail as if it was a conversation during a meal.

In the end, Yang Xiaoman looked at Jian Ai and said, “So, if Jian Ai didn’t stand up for us and let her family help us settle those things, my family wouldn’t be where we are today.”

“Even if I get into Capital University, I probably won’t have the money to stay in a four-person dormitory, let alone know you!”

It was as if they did not expect the two of them to have such a magical relationship. Moreover, Jian Ai helped Yang Xiaoman’s family resolve such a big problem, so much so that Yang Ji Roast Duck had grown like an enormous tree in the past two years and occupied an unshakeable position in the capital’s food world.

The way Chu Jiaojiao looked at Jian Ai had changed. Her big eyes were sparkling as if she was looking at a hero.

Jian Ai chuckled and said, “It’s not as incredible as she said. At that time, I couldn’t bear to see bad people succeed every time, so I interfered in this matter. However, Xiaoman’s duck is delicious, which is why she has today’s achievements!”

“Is Yang Ji Roast Duck yours?” Yao Daiyu reacted half a beat slower and immediately looked at Yang Xiaoman in disbelief.

Yang Xiaoman nodded. “You’ve eaten before?”

“I just ate last night!” Yao Daiyu slapped the table agitatedly. “Don’t you think this is a coincidence?!”

When Yao Daiyu and her father arrived in the capital yesterday, they took a taxi to eat at night and asked the driver if there was anything recommended locally.

The driver was from the capital, so he said the roast duck was a must. To eat roast duck, it had to be Yang Ji Roast Duck!

At that moment, the daughter of the roast duck restaurant was her roommate.

“It’s true. Jian Ai isn’t lying. That roast duck is superb. It’s too delicious!” Yao Daiyu couldn’t help but gulp when she thought of the taste last night. Then, she pulled Chu Jiaojiao and said, “Jiaojiao, you have to eat it. I’ll treat you next time. It’s too delicious and cheap!”

Father Yang had never forgotten his roots. Even if his business expanded, the price of roast duck was still the same as in the alley back then. It did not increase by a single cent.

This was also what many regular customers admired about him.

Fortunately, there were many shops for Yang Ji Roast Duck now, and there were other stir-fried dishes in the shop. Although the profits of the roast duck were not high, it was a signboard restaurant that depended on small profits and high sales.

“Then I have to try it!” Chu Jiaojiao was tempted.

When Yang Xiaoman heard this, she smiled and said, “With me around, there’s no need for you to treat us. If you want to eat, I’ll bring you there anytime.”

Jian Ai listened from the side with a smile.

This was the feeling of being in a university. Although they were all the same age, Jian Ai could feel the difference between being with them and being with Qinghuan and Guan Tao.

She could not say what was different. Perhaps it was her state of mind, but in short, it was different.

“Jian Ai!”

At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind.

Jian Ai didn’t need to turn around to hear who was behind her. She couldn’t help but smile and turn around. “Lin Yi, what a coincidence!”

There was no one besides Lin Yi, only himself.

Jian Ai couldn’t help but stand up and look around curiously. “By yourself?”

Lin Yi quickly denied it with a smile. “My three roommates and I have no seats. I’m queuing up here. They went to the supermarket opposite to buy some daily necessities.”

Only then did Jian Ai nod in understanding. Then, she quickly introduced him to her new roommates. “This is Lin Yi, one of my best friends. We were high school classmates and applied to Capital University together!”

“This is Yao Daiyu!”

“This is Chu Jiaojiao!”

“This is Yang Xiaoman. They’re all my new roommates!”

Jian Ai introduced them one by one, and they nodded and greeted him politely.

However, Yang Xiaoman couldn’t help but look at Lin Yi a few more times. When he smiled, his eyes curved slightly, making him look exceptionally good.

Like a small sun.

“I’ll contact you when I’m free later. Call Qinghuan and the rest to gather sometime.” Lin Yi didn’t want to disturb Jian Ai and her new roommates, so he said nothing more.

Seeing that he was not alone, Jian Ai nodded and waved goodbye to him.

“Childhood sweethearts?” Chu Jiaojiao instantly turned on her gossip radar.

It was no wonder Chu Jiaojiao was gossipy. Seeing that the two of them were classmates, best friends, and even got into the same university together, their relationship was not ordinary.

“Jiaojiao, Xiao Ai has a boyfriend!” Xiaoman said.

Chu Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment before nodding in understanding. “It’s my fault for talking too much.”

Jian Ai looked at Chu Jiaojiao and smiled. “Lin Yi and I only became classmates in high school. We’re not considered childhood sweethearts. However, you’re right. My relationship with him is even higher than that of a friend. He’s someone I cherish more than a friend.”

Jian Ai didn’t deny the weight of Lin Yi in her heart. Although it wasn’t love, it was precious.

Ft love was the white moonlight that could not be easily forgotten.

Chu Jiaojiao blinked, not understanding. For a moment, she couldn’t digest Jian Ai’s words.

Yao Daiyu didn’t seem to have gotten into the situation at all. After a while, she said, “So Jian Ai has a boyfriend! I don’t!”

As soon as she finished speaking, she looked at Yang Xiaoman and Chu Jiaojiao and asked, “Do the two of you have one?”

The two of them shook their heads in unison, showing that there was no such thing.

In the end, the three of them looked at Jian Ai together. At this moment, Jian Ai was being watched like a visitor from outer space.

“What’s wrong?” Jian Ai blinked.

They retracted their gazes at the same time. Coincidentally, the waiter brought the dishes over. They said nothing and started eating.

Jian Ai was speechless.

What had happened just now? Why did it seem like they gave her a look so that she could experience it herself?

Why was it that only she had a boyfriend?

As if understanding something, Jian Ai suddenly smiled.

The gaze of a single.
