The braised chicken is ready to eat.
The waiter came over and lifted the pot lid for Lu Yibei's table.
Lu Yibei was the first to put a piece of chicken, cooked to a caramel-yellow color, on Ji Qingqian's plate.
This female warrior, who has always believed in the dogma that "if you don't work hard, you're out of your mind," unusually did not take the lead today.
She bit her lower lip with her pearly white teeth, as if deep in thought:
Will my grandparents dislike me?
"No," Lu Yibei said.
He couldn't help but smile as he spoke.
The fact that Qingqian asked such a question indicates that she wanted to go, but was a little embarrassed... or rather, dared not.
How dare you presume to know what your grandparents are thinking?
Ji Qingqian pouted her lips slightly: "You unfilial descendant!"
"I can't guarantee anything else, but when it comes to being a sucker for good looks, the Lu family is of the same blood!"
Lu Yibei patted his chest, indirectly praising his heroine's beauty once again.
Ji Qingqian poked the chewy and smooth chicken pieces with the tip of her chopsticks, but still didn't take a bite.
Of course, she wanted to go with Ah Bei.
In that case, they won't have to be apart for even a single day during the eight-day National Day holiday.
But... Grandpa and Grandma...
Ah Bei described him as very kind, and Ji Qingqian thought that if the grandparents could raise such a cute and sensible grandson, then they must be quite cute too.
But before she actually saw it, she couldn't control her fantasies.
The spiritual pressure from her grandparents felt like two towering mountains pressing down on her…
"If you're not ready yet, you can book a hotel outside."
Lu Yibei gently offered his advice: "You can make the decision yourself."
He didn't want to put Ji Qingqian in a difficult position.
After all, don't be fooled by his girlfriend's quirky and adorable demeanor in front of him; she's usually quite quiet and reserved around strangers.
When the waiter came to greet her just now, she had to use her eyes to signal Lu Yibei to come and speak to him…
It's normal not to want to see people.
“It might be a bit boring to be alone in a hotel, but I’m sure I’ll have plenty of time to show you around,” Lu Yibei assured him.
"I'll go with you."
Ji Qingqian said, but she hesitated when faced with the next question: "But where to stay...can I think about it a little longer?"
"Of course it would be great."
Lu Yibei laughed: "Then let's eat something first, or it will get cold."
There are still a few days until National Day, so there's no need to rush to give an answer.
“Our area is not like a tourist city like Hangzhou. It’s just a rural area. Even during the National Day Golden Week, hotels won’t be fully booked. You can book anytime you want.”
To ease his girlfriend's tension, Lu Yibei jokingly said, "If you're not satisfied with what happens, Miss Ji, please forgive me."
Ji Qingqian rolled her eyes and deliberately retorted, "Didn't you say you were the young master? Shouldn't you take me to stay at the mansion?"
"Please, don't mention it!" Lu Yibei quickly interrupted.
This is yet another dark chapter in history.
Back then, when he mistook the female knight in front of him for a young hero, she claimed that she couldn't speak without a microphone.
Lu Yibei then introduced himself as the "young master" and said he wanted to give one to the other person...
His family's financial situation was certainly not bad.
But compared to the genuine heiress in front of her, she seemed somewhat of a fake…
He thought that even if his parents hadn't cut off his allowance, they would never have allowed him to carry several bank cards with hundreds of thousands of yuan in them.
“That’s why I said it’s a large villa, not a large mansion… It’s large enough, but it’s a self-built house in the countryside, with five floors in total,” Lu Yibei said, spreading his hands.
"I almost fell for your act of pretending to be a rich guy," Ji Qingqian accused coldly.
"A woman should follow her husband wherever he goes, whether he's a chicken or a dog. Miss Ji, you mustn't look down on me just because I'm poor."
Lu Yibei looked at Ji Qingqian with pitiful, doe-like eyes.
Ji Qingqian looked away, seemingly disdainful, but actually found the boy's affected manner rather endearing.
Even a second glance made her want to reach out and pinch his soft cheeks.
"Heh, this female knight-errant never considers a boyfriend's family background when she goes out to roam the martial world," Ji Qingqian said.
"I admire your generosity and kindness, heroine." Lu Yibei clasped his hands in a respectful gesture.
Ji Qingqian said indifferently, "Anyway, none of them are as rich as me."
Lu Yibei: ...
"Does that mean we have to book tickets in advance?" Ji Qingqian asked again.
She has little experience going out.
But my roommate Ma Jiaojiao had been complaining that if you don't try to buy tickets in advance, it's very easy to miss out.
Lu Yibei chuckled to himself; he hadn't expected the female knight-errant to have such a mindset…
"Don't worry, it's only a thirteen-minute drive from Hangzhou East Station to Chaocheng West Station, and there are plenty of trains. If all else fails, you can take the subway," Lu Yibei said.
Ji Qingqian nodded:
"Then you can buy the ticket for me."
"Okay, send me your ID number later."
"good."
As they talked, they finally started eating.
Lu Yibei peeled off the chicken skin he didn't like and placed it on one side of the plate.
Ji Qingqian, however, picked it up, popped it into her mouth, and then swallowed it with relish.
"What a picky eater, he really is a young master..."
Lu Yibei: ...
No, chicken skin is really awful!
Let's hear from someone who shares her experience!
…
This store is not far from Jiangnan University.
After finishing their meal, Lu Yibei and Ji Qingqian walked side by side, taking the opportunity to digest their food.
As always, the female knight-errant on the right side of the road stretched out her arms slightly to balance her slender body as she walked on the curb.
