"That's how it's written in novels," Nangong Jue said, sounding a little embarrassed. "When the male lead goes on a date with the girl he likes, he'll book out the whole restaurant, or maybe a shopping mall or amusement park, and his girlfriend will be incredibly touched, and then..."
Le Yao took a deep breath: "That's the male and female lead, that's a novel, is this a novel too?" Wait, this really is a novel. "Okay, even if you're the male lead, I'm not the female lead." She got up to leave. She was just a cannon fodder female supporting character. She had worked hard to change her fate, but she never wanted to be the female lead because she knew that no matter how much money she had, she was still an ordinary person at heart and couldn't accept the extravagant lifestyle described in novels.
"Alan." Nangong Jue hurriedly went over and grabbed Le Yao's hand. "Don't be angry, I... it was my first time going on a date with a girl, I really didn't know what to do, so..."
“Nangong Jue, I’m just an ordinary person. I don’t pursue those extravagant lifestyles. The kind of date I’m talking about is the kind between ordinary men and women, where even eating at a roadside stall is sweet, not these kinds of dates where you book out an entire place all the time. I can’t afford it, and there’s no need for it. It makes me feel like this isn’t love, but… money-grubbing.” He paused for a moment. “How much a man pays depends on how pretty a woman is…”
It's definitely not that she's pretending to be high-minded; she genuinely dislikes it. When she used to read novels and similar scenes appeared, she would always complain. If it weren't for complaining, she wouldn't have become a two-dimensional character.
"I understand." Nangong Jue looked at Le Yao for a long time before finally nodding. "So, what's next?"
"You paid?" Le Yao glanced at the other person.
“Yes.” Nangong Jue nodded. “I paid three days ago, since seats here need to be reserved in advance.”
"How much did you pay?"
"Five hundred thousand."
Le Yao let out a long sigh: "Can we get a refund?"
Nangong Jue shook his head: "I'm afraid that won't work. After all, they don't have any business today..."
"In that case... let's serve the food." Le Yao sat down again, then suddenly remembered something, "Could we invite other people over to eat?"
“Okay.” Although Nangong Jue was reluctant, he didn’t dare to refuse. “I’ll cover their entire day’s revenue.”
Le Yao immediately smiled and hurriedly sent a message to the prospective top students group: Come quickly to the Rhine River Western Restaurant on the second floor of the Earl Hotel. Someone is treating today. If you have a boyfriend, you can bring him.
The group chat erupted in a flurry of activity, with everyone quickly indicating that they had all left.
Le Yao put down her phone and looked at Nangong Jue: "Stop looking so constipated. If you have anything else prepared, come up here."
Nangong Jue smiled, raised his hand to beckon, and then someone came over with a violin.
Le Yao sighed. Only someone like her could remain calm. If it were an ordinary girl, she would probably have been screaming with excitement.
"This is a gift, see if you like it." Nangong Jue took out another box and handed it over.
Le Yao reached out and took it, opening it. Her eyes lit up immediately. It was a bright green jade bracelet, clearly not an ordinary item: "How much is this worth?"
Five million.
"Cough cough..." Le Yao choked on her own saliva and quickly slammed the box shut. "Such an expensive bracelet, are you trying to kidnap me?"
