Chapter 225 Testing the Waters
During the lunch break, Xia Jinxi did not go to buy meals at the construction site.
I heated up the lunch box that Tang Yuze gave me in the store, opened it, and the aroma of rice and dishes overflowed.
There are not many dishes in it, just two simple dishes: stir-fried shredded beef and stir-fried shredded potatoes.
In addition, there are small hearts drawn with ketchup on the rice.
After all, Tang Yuze got up early in the morning to prepare the lunch box, and the limited time in the morning was only enough to make this simple dish.
Although it is a simple dish, as long as it is made by Tang Yuze, the final product will not be simple.
Even after being reheated after a morning, both dishes were still delicious.
Especially the shredded beef, it looks tender.
Compared with the construction site meals that are heavy in salt and oil, it is much better.
I still remember the last time my brother made a lunch box was when Xia Jinxi was injured at a sports meet.
At that time, Tang Yuze felt that Xia Jinxi had difficulty walking and it was not easy for her to move during lunch break, so he got up early and prepared a lunch box.
However, considering that it would be difficult to heat up at school, the lunch boxes were made in a more Japanese style, so that even if they were eaten cold, the taste and texture would not be affected that much.
Today, both the milk tea shop on her side and the table tennis youth training team where Tang Yuze was going could heat up the lunch boxes, so Tang Yuze fried two dishes, divided them into two portions and put them into their respective lunch boxes.
"Xia Jinxi, did you do all this?"
On the other side, Liu Wenyao, who was eating a 10-yuan self-service meal at the construction site, noticed the lunch box that Xia Jinxi brought with her.
I took another look at my paper bowl, which was full of tomatoes but no eggs. The tomatoes were a bit sour, and I suddenly lost my appetite.
"No, my boyfriend did it."
Xia Jinxi was about to say that she made it herself, but after seeing the little heart drawn on the rice with ketchup, she felt a little vain.
"Boyfriend? You just graduated from high school, right? Are you in a premature relationship?"
After hearing that Xia Jinxi had a boyfriend, Liu Wen Yao's face looked unhappy.
When she was in high school, she was actually also a love-brained person.
No, she is also in love now.
It’s just that due to “various reasons”, she hasn’t met her true love yet.
So after hearing Xia Jinxi say that she had a boyfriend who could prepare lunch boxes for her, she felt uncomfortable.
In addition, Xia Jinxi's appearance and fighting skills made Liu Wenyao feel even more uncomfortable.
"Then you better be careful. I've seen countless couples who made vows of love in high school but couldn't stand long-distance relationships when they got to college."
Liu Wen Yao reminded "kindly".
"No, he and I went to the same university."
Xia Jinxi shook her head.
What Liu Wenyao said made sense.
At least at this moment, Xia Jinxi still felt that Liu Wen Yao was sincerely giving her good advice.
"It's also difficult to go to the same university. When you get to university, girls will learn how to dress up. Once boys come into contact with these people, it's easy for them to cheat."
However, after seeing that Xia Jinxi didn't waver at all, Liu Wen Yao continued to chatter on and on, becoming more and more outrageous.
Xia Jinxi had already said that they were attending the same university and there was no such thing as a long-distance relationship, but she could actually say that her boyfriend would cheat even if they were in the same school.
She made it sound as if she would never be able to keep her boyfriend.
Xia Jinxi was not stupid to begin with. After hearing this, she could of course see that Liu Wenyao was just being jealous.
Originally, she wanted to let Liu Wen Yao taste her lunch box, but with her current mentality, no matter how Xia Jinxi tried to show her affection, she would probably think that she was showing off her boyfriend.
So, Xia Jinxi went to the back seat and enjoyed the loving lunch her brother made for her.
When Liu Wen Yao saw this scene, she took another bite of the braised pork in the paper bowl that was so greasy that it made her feel sick.
Oh, when will she be able to be loved by someone of the opposite sex?
It is obvious that Liu Wen Yao is not picky about food at all. No matter if it is a domineering president or a soft and sticky milk dog, as long as he is a handsome guy, it will be fine.
She also deserves to be loved!
For example, the handsome guy sitting in the store yesterday afternoon was quite nice.
He looks just a little younger than Liu Wen Yao, has an incredibly high appearance, is unique and in line with the public's aesthetic standards. He is simply the perfect boyfriend in the eyes of Chinese girls.
Moreover, he spent the entire afternoon in the milk tea shop yesterday, and later asked Liu Wenyao what time she would get off work.
This is all such a coincidence, that handsome boy must be interested in her!
Maybe that handsome boy will come to pick her up with flowers after get off work this afternoon?

On Tang Yuze's side, after receiving instructions from Ma Hui, he will have a match with the 14-year-old youth training player Han Yang.
"Hello, I have long admired my name."
Han Yang extended his hand to Tang Yuze, and Tang Yuze shook hands back.
"Hello, do you know me?"
"I know him. When Coach Ma came to coach us, he mentioned that there was a boy named Tang Yuze who was very talented, and asked our coach if he could recruit you into the team."
Table tennis singles matches are usually played in BO7, with the winner being the one who wins four games first, but Tang Yuze and Han Yang only play BO5, which is best of five.
Because it's almost time for lunch.
Han Yang is in a complicated mood now.
Coach Ma Hui had boasted about Tang Yuze's talent before, but no matter how talented he was, he was at best just a baseball player who had not received any systematic training.
Han Yang is currently the most technically proficient player in the youth team, and even made it to the quarterfinals in the National Junior Table Tennis Championships.
He looked down on Tang Yuze a little, but Ma Hui told Han Yang that as long as he defeated Tang Yuze, he could be promoted to the provincial team, which made Han Yang very confused.
He made it to the top eight in the National Junior Table Tennis Championships, but Ma Hui did not directly recruit him into the provincial team. Now he only needs to win one game to be promoted.
In short, we still can't be careless.
In China, the competition in table tennis is quite fierce. Han Yang knows that he must seize every opportunity.
Tang Yuze, on the other hand, had no fighting spirit at all.
Of course he knew what Ma Hui was thinking.
The Han Yang in front of him is currently the strongest player in the youth training team.
After Tang Yuze said that his age was no longer suitable for joining the youth training, Ma Hui said that he could directly let him enter the provincial team for training.
But in fact, it would be difficult for even the head coach to let him, a person without any achievements, directly join the provincial team.
That's why Ma Hui wanted Tang Yuze and Han Yang to play a game to test the waters.
If Tang Yuze won, he would have a reason to recruit him directly into the team.
If Han Yang wins, let him join the provincial team. Anyway, this kid has the ability to join the provincial team.
To be honest, Tang Yuze really wants to give up right now.
In this way, he can reject Ma Hui's invitation on the grounds that he is not talented enough, and Han Yang can also join the provincial team earlier, and everyone will be happy.
But out of respect for competitive sports and his opponent, Tang Yuze will not let up.
