That's why he felt a sense of surprise and joy. As the saying goes, women dress up for those who appreciate them, so it would be a lie to say he wasn't happy.

"No, it's alright, young master looks handsome no matter what he wears..."

Su Lin herself was a little reserved. It was her first time dressed like this, and she was the one who was nervous. Jiang Chengcheng helped her choose the clothes... But seeing that the young master's reaction seemed to be good, she finally felt a little more at ease.

The young master actually took my hand; it felt so ticklish in my palm…

"It's really beautiful, it was worth the long wait."

Xu Shi held her hand, feeling a little reluctant to let go. "What day is it today? Our Director Su has made so many preparations?"

"It's not a big deal... Is it to celebrate your completion of community service, young master?"

Su Lin didn't want to let go even more; her mind was so dizzy that she couldn't even speak.

"What kind of reason is that?"

Xu Shi was amused. "It doesn't matter. If today isn't a special day, then let it be one."

"Um……"

Su Lin blushed and nodded; she hadn't expected things to go so smoothly.

The atmosphere was great, the only awkwardness was because I was shy... The young master seemed very satisfied with his arrangements, right?

Sure enough, my best friend's advice was absolutely right. It will definitely be easy for her to win over the young master later!

result.

The beautiful illusion was instantly shattered like a bubble when the food was served.

"Um... is this the dinner you prepared?"

Looking at the grilled chives and pork kidneys arranged on the gilded plate, Xu Shi's eyes twitched involuntarily, and he momentarily forgot what to do with his knife and fork.

"Ah, this..."

Su Lin was still in shock when she asked, "Young Master, don't you like it...?"

"This has nothing to do with whether you like it or not, right?"

Xu was both amused and exasperated.

He's definitely not the aloof, otherworldly type, at least not after his past life memories awakened. What's wrong with eating barbecue? He didn't enjoy his meal with Miss Black Rabbit before? They almost became sworn brothers... It wouldn't be a problem if the other person was Su Lin. A few drinks and a couple of punches would still make for a wonderful day.

The problem is the environment! The setup was so good, and then this happens, the atmosphere is completely ruined!

You even prepared goji berry medicinal wine! What's that at the bottom of the bottle, deer antler or maca?

Lunch with Buffett, huh? Xu Shi believed that this meme didn't even exist in the world, but Su Lin managed to create it!

"Tell me, who gave you this advice?"

He's now absolutely certain that someone is behind all of this; otherwise, why would Su Lin do something like this? Her image is practically ruined...

"...It's Chengcheng."

Su Lin also came to her senses and realized that this was indeed a bit incongruous. After some internal struggle, she still chose to confess.

"From beginning to end?"

Xu Shi pressed for an answer.

"Um……"

Su Lin replied with a pitiful expression. Even if she was slow to notice, she could sense that something was wrong; at the very least, the young master didn't seem happy.

Ugh, even my best friend's advice isn't completely effective...

"Don't blame everything on other people."

Xu Shi said irritably, "You just do whatever she says? What's the point of preparing this whole table of food?"

"yes……"

Su Lin was about to answer when she thought again that if she said it, her intentions would be completely exposed.

So she immediately changed the subject, "Young Master doesn't like these? I'll have them change them..."

"Forget it, wasting money is shameful."

Xu Shi wasn't really angry, of course. He waved his hand to indicate that he didn't care, "Don't go through all that trouble. If we change people again, they'll all starve."

To be honest, eating grilled kidneys in this kind of atmosphere is actually quite interesting.

So he quickly started to enjoy it. That's why it's a high-end restaurant; they cook such good food even when they're not good at it.

Su Lin had lost her appetite completely. She didn't know whether to blame herself for being stupid or her best friend for being unreliable. She unconsciously scribbled on the grilled kidneys, her mind filled with thoughts of how to make up for it.

"So, after going through all this trouble today, what exactly are you trying to tell me?"

Before she could decide, Xu Shi spoke first, asking with great interest.

"I...I've never eaten out with you before, young master, so I wanted to give it a try..."

Su Lin was still too embarrassed to say it and stammered, trying to brush it off.

"I'll count to three, and if you don't say it, you'll never say it again in your life."

Xu Shi didn't spoil her, and his tone even carried a hint of command.

"……don't want!"

These words immediately broke Su Lin's guard, and she stood up without caring about her image.

"I... I just really can't stand that there are more and more people around you, young master, and you always ignore me..."

She looked at Xu Shi very seriously and said, "I'm jealous of even Chengcheng, and I'm even afraid that you won't need me in the future..."

“I am a retainer of the Xu family, and I shouldn’t be thinking about these things. Even if you really abandon me, I should have no complaints… But I’m really in pain, so I tried to find a way to ask you out…”

"Actually, I planned to do this a few days ago, but then you went out with that Tang Shuang again, and I wanted to go with you but you wouldn't let me..."

She poured out all the grievances she had held in for so long—it really was a long one. In terms of seniority, who dared to say they were number one if Su Lin said they were number two? But everyone else kept coming up behind, while she was left out in the cold. Director Su's heart wasn't made of iron; it was already quite an achievement that she had endured this long.
