I'm back in 1990

Chapter 1140: Rejection

No matter when or where, Cola Novels is your most loyal reading companion.

Huang Zeji was very familiar with Shanghai Dan, and with prior arrangements made by someone, he was able to complete all the necessary procedures smoothly.

When he arrived at the dormitory, he found that he was alone; his three roommates had not yet arrived.

By the time he had made the bed and arranged his things, it was almost noon. After a busy morning and walking so much, he was feeling hungry.

After washing his hands and face, he left the dormitory and headed towards the cafeteria.

"Hi!" A voice suddenly came from behind him, followed by a tap on his shoulder. Huang Zeji subconsciously turned around and saw a strange girl. He was a little confused.

"Excuse me, is there something you need?"

Ou Ya blushed deeply when she realized she had mistaken someone for someone else: "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I mistook you for someone else."

Mistaking someone for someone else is common, so Huang Zeji smiled magnanimously, didn't take it to heart, said it was okay, and left.

Ou Ya looked at Huang Zeji's back with a puzzled expression. He really did look too much like him, and their appearances were somewhat similar.

After watching for a while, she shook her head and left.

Back in her dormitory, she saw Zeng Wentian pouring water in the living room.

"Zeng Wentian, I mistook you for a boy at noon."

Zeng Wentian didn't pay any attention and simply replied, "Oh!"

Seeing that she hadn't attracted Zeng Wentian's attention, Ou Ya became anxious: "Really, that boy's back view looks exactly like yours, and he even looks a bit like you!"

Zeng Wentian then smiled and advised, "There are so many people in the world, and China alone has over a billion. Naturally, there will be many people with similar body types or appearances. There's no need to find it strange."

"All right!"

Just then, Cui Minzhu returned from outside and, upon seeing Ou Ya and Zeng Wentian, invited them, "Let's have dinner together tonight! It's on me, how about hot pot?"

"Hot pot?" Oya, who comes from Southeast Asia, wasn't very familiar with it, but she agreed to the suggestion of having a meal together.

Zeng Wentian did not refuse, after all, they would be spending a lot of time together in the next few years, and the gathering could quickly bring them closer together.

In the afternoon, the other three people from dormitory 505 arrived one after another, and now everyone was there.

After seeing off their parents one by one, the four introduced themselves to each other, thus formally getting to know each other.

Apart from Huang Zeji, a local, the other three are from other provinces. The one who came the furthest away is from the Inner Mongolian grasslands. His name is Tenggerli, a genuine Mongolian, but he doesn't look that rugged. Instead, he has a rather scholarly air about him.

The other two are from Jiayu, one named Gao Yuzhou, and the other from Dalian, named Song Cheng.

Since it was the first time, Tengger suggested that everyone get together for a meal, and the suggestion was unanimously approved.

......

The four students in dormitory 601 made plans to go to a Chongqing hot pot restaurant near the school that evening. Xu Ziang recommended the restaurant because he had been there before and said that the ingredients were fresh and the taste was authentic.

Xu Ziang said on the phone that he would come directly from home, so when Zeng Wentian brought two girls downstairs to the hot pot restaurant, Xu Ziang had already arrived.

The hot pot restaurant is not far from the school, only a ten-minute walk away. It is a chain hot pot restaurant located on the third floor of a commercial plaza. It has a modern Chinese style decoration, with red lanterns and black solid wood tables and chairs. As soon as you enter the store, you can smell the aroma of beef tallow hot pot.

It was the start of the school season, and the store was very busy. The store was full of people, and there were many people waiting outside. Fortunately, Xu Ziang had made a reservation in advance.

Apart from Xu Ziang, the other three didn't know much about hot pot, so everything was left to Xu Ziang to arrange.

After asking the group about their preferences, Xu Ziang started ordering the dishes.

Soon the hot pot broth was served, and Choi Min-joo was eager to try it, but she was quickly frightened.

The bright red duck blood, fresh pig brains, and duck intestines made her hair stand on end.

However, Xu Ziang strongly encouraged her to give it a try, assuring her that she wouldn't regret it.

When Cui Minzhu ate duck blood for the first time, she was terrified and dared not take a bite. But with the encouragement of Xu Ziang and Ou Ya, she closed her eyes and took a small bite. Suddenly, she opened her eyes.

He exclaimed, "It tastes pretty good!"

In fact, Zeng Wentian and Ou Ya were also too scared to pick up their chopsticks. They had been watching from the side at first, and only dared to start eating when Cui Minzhu said it was delicious. At first, they were a little hesitant, but after the first bite, they relaxed.

Considering that Zeng Wentian and Ou Ya are from Southeast Asia and can't handle spicy food very well, Xu Ziang specially ordered the mild spicy flavor. Even so, it still made them hiss and pant, but they just couldn't bear to put down their chopsticks.

On the contrary, Choi Min-joo seemed to be able to handle spicy food quite well, completely disregarding her pampered princess image, saying "Massoo, Massoo!" while eating.

Halfway through the meal, Cui Minzhu suddenly asked, "Zeng Wentian, do you have a girlfriend?"

Zeng Wentian was scrambling to eat a slice of beef when he heard this, and shook his head: "No!"

Just then, several boys walked past them, and Zeng Wentian's gaze was drawn to one of them.

That person was Huang Zeji.

It was Huang Zeji who suggested coming here for hot pot. In the afternoon, he made a special call to his sister Huang Ruiying to ask her to recommend a place to eat that evening, and Huang Ruiying recommended this place to him.

However, since they hadn't made a reservation by phone beforehand, the four of them had to wait outside for almost forty minutes before a table became available.

Zeng Wentian's expression was noticed by Ou Ya, who was sitting opposite him. She followed his gaze and saw the boy who had patted her on the shoulder earlier that day.

Ou Ya immediately felt something was strange.

At noon, she felt that the boy looked a lot like Zeng Wentian. In the evening, the boy also appeared here. Moreover, Zeng Wentian seemed to know the boy. Although he did not take the initiative to greet him, the expression on his face was obviously wrong. Ou Ya was confident that she was not mistaken.

However, she didn't make a fuss, pretending she hadn't seen anything, and continued to press Zeng Wentian with Cui Minzhu about his girlfriend.

Zeng Wentian was absentmindedly dealing with the two girls, but his eyes kept glancing at the table diagonally opposite him.

Huang Zeji sat at that table.

Tengger also brought two bottles of baijiu (Chinese liquor), saying he wanted everyone to try their Inner Mongolian liquor. Gao Yuzhou and Song Cheng were persuaded by him to drink a little, but Huang Zeji resolutely refused to drink.

Tenggerli, holding up the bottle, asked, "You really won't drink?"

"I really can't drink alcohol, you guys can drink, I'll have Coke." Huang Zeji raised his can of Coke and even clinked it against Tengger's bottle of liquor.

The four quickly became acquainted, and the atmosphere was quite pleasant. Huang Zeji would occasionally glance across the street and recognize Zeng Wentian.

Although they had never been in contact, he knew and was acquainted with Zeng Wentian and another boy named Zhang Yang, who was his half-brother.

The elders in his family all knew about his father's affair with that woman from Singapore, but they rarely mentioned it in front of the children.

But Huang Zeji did have ears, and he had heard things since he was a child. In addition, with his mother Yu Xiang's reactions to the matter each time, he gradually pieced together the whole story.

As his mother's biological son, he was determined to stand firmly on her side in this matter, so even though he recognized Zeng Wentian just now, he didn't intend to greet him first.

It wasn't jealousy or hatred, but an instinctive repulsion.
