"We've come to pick up a package," Luo Jingyan said. "Brother Xue, are you here too?"
"Yes, we're all the same."
They each picked up their packages, and Luo Jingyan noticed that Xue Yanchen's package was quite large, bigger than both of theirs combined.
Luo Jingyan was curious about what was inside, but felt she had no right to ask. Oh well, that was someone else's privacy, and it had nothing to do with her.
It was a full three miles from where the oxcarts were parked to the post office, and from the post office to the oxcarts, it was another three miles to walk.
Walking along the road, Luo Jingyan and Luo Changtian chatted with Xue Yanchen about their experiences at the educated youth settlement. When they passed the state-run restaurant, Xue Yanchen looked at Luo Jingyan and said, "If you don't mind, I'll treat you both to a meal."
Luo Jingyan didn't care what others would say if they saw them together, since she hadn't come to the countryside to find a boyfriend. But she was embarrassed to spend Xue Yanchen's money: "How can I let Brother Xue spend so much?"
"It's alright, let's go."
Xue Yanchen had already led the way inside, and Luo Jingyan and Luo Changtian followed.
Luo Jingyan actually wanted to improve her meals, and her black tiger was probably craving them in the space, so she decided not to let Xue Yanchen give her any money or coupons, and to pay for it herself.
Xue Yanchen walked to the restaurant window, where a blackboard displayed today's menu. He asked them, "What would you like to eat?"
Luo Changtian glanced at Luo Jingyan, who said, "Order whatever you want to eat."
Anyway, she'll definitely pay later.
Luo Changtian ordered a braised pork and that was it. Luo Jingyan casually ordered a vegetarian dish. Seeing that she ordered too little, Xue Yanchen added a braised fish and a dish of minced pork and eggplant.
After consulting with Luo Changtian and Luo Jingyan, they ordered three more servings of rice.
Luo Jingyan originally intended to pay for the food herself, but Xue Yanchen would pay for the food and give the ticket to the waiter at the same time.
Sigh, she wasn't given the slightest opportunity to spend money.
She gave Xue Yanchen an awkward smile: "Brother Xue, I'll treat you next time."
The man slightly curved his thin lips: "Okay."
About half an hour later, their food was finally prepared, but the waiter didn't serve it; they had to go to the window to pick it up themselves.
While eating, Luo Changtian thought of the food Luo Jingyan had cooked and couldn't help but say to Xue Yanchen, "Brother Xue, this braised pork is delicious, but my sister's braised pork is a hundred times better."
Xue Yanchen looked at Luo Jingyan: "I wonder if I'll have a chance to eat it?"
"Of course." Luo Jingyan wasn't a stingy person. "There will definitely be an opportunity."
Luo Jingyan picked up a piece of braised pork, covered it with her other hand, and pretended to put it in her mouth, but actually put it into her spatial storage and fed it to Black Tiger.
Black Tiger is naturally a meat lover. When he saw braised pork, although it wasn't as delicious as the one his master made, he could still swallow it.
Luo Jingyan followed suit, throwing three or four more pieces into her spatial storage, and then began feeding Black Tiger fish.
After eating more than half of it, Luo Jingyan looked up and realized that Xue Yanchen was gone. Turning her head, she found him standing in front of the window again.
She asked Luo Changtian, "Brother Xue went to order more food. Isn't this enough?"
Luo Changtian smiled and said, "Sister, Brother Xue was worried that there wouldn't be enough for you, so he went to order some more meat."
"Huh?" Luo Jingyan was speechless. She had been busy feeding the black tiger, but Xue Yanchen and Luo Changtian must have thought that it was hers to eat.
She quickly got up and went to find Xue Yanchen: "Brother Xue, if you're still hungry, you can order something. I'm not eating anyway."
Are you full?
"I'm full, I'm full. I really don't need anything else."
"Are you really full?" he asked again to confirm.
"What? Does Brother Xue think I'm a pig?"
"Of course not."
Xue Yanchen found her adorable and funny when she was angry, smiled, and they went back to their seats together.
Luo Jingyan started eating rice and vegetables when two uninvited guests arrived.
After visiting the supply and marketing cooperative, Du Yinan and Lin Shanshan went to the state-run restaurant for a meal, where they unexpectedly ran into Luo Jingyan.
What surprised them even more was that Luo Jingyan and her brother were having dinner with Xue Yanchen.
Du Yinan, as if she had stumbled upon some major news, immediately walked up to them and said sarcastically, "Luo Zhiqing, what a coincidence to run into you at a restaurant. You two are eating together, you must be dating. Wow, you two are really fast."
Luo Jingyan herself wasn't afraid of gossip, but Xue Yanchen was probably still planning to find a partner, so she didn't want people to misunderstand and delay his time.
“Du Zhiqing, you’ve misunderstood. We’re just acquaintances of Xue Zhiqing, and we can be considered ordinary friends. It’s not what you’re thinking. So you’d better keep your mouth shut and don’t let me hear such things from you again.”
“If you weren’t dating, would Xue Zhiqing treat you to such good food? Why didn’t Xue Zhiqing treat us? We all came on the same train, so we can be considered acquaintances of Xue Zhiqing.”
Lin Shanshan was also a little jealous. Although Xue Yanchen had his flaws, he still invited Luo Jingyan to dinner. Was Luo Jingyan really better than her?
Upon hearing this, Xue Yanchen turned his head to look at them, "Do you also want to eat these things and want me to treat you?"
Du Yinan immediately broke into a smug smile.
See? Xue Yanchen is just too fond of women; he'd love to spend money on them.
As soon as they make a move, Xue Yanchen will immediately take the bait and kick Luo Jingyan aside.
Besides, why wouldn't they be happy to have a sucker treat them to a meal?
Lin Shanshan's pride was somewhat satisfied, and she was no longer jealous of Luo Jingyan.
