Jiang Shuyu often goes on dates with his girlfriend and has a considerable knowledge of restaurants.
He recommended a restaurant to Jiang Cheng that combines Chinese and Western cuisine.
Jiang Cheng first made a reservation by phone, and then waited for Pei Xi at the school gate.
"Where are we going to eat?" Pei Xi asked, somewhat surprised when he heard that they were going out to eat.
She thought that eating together meant having boxed lunches in the cafeteria or going to the school gate for some spicy hot pot...
"You'll know when we get there," Jiang Cheng said.
The two took a taxi to the restaurant, and when the waiter led them to their reserved table, Pei Xi hesitated for a moment.
The restaurant's decor looks...as beautiful as its prices.
She knew Jiang Cheng wasn't as strapped for cash as before, but she still couldn't help but subconsciously worry about his wallet.
When ordering, Pei Xi saw the menu and confirmed his guess.
A vegetable salad costs 98 yuan.
Actually, she has been to many high-end restaurants, so this price is normal.
When they usually go out to eat with Pei Zhi, they don't really look at the price.
But when Pei Xi thought about how hard Jiang Cheng worked to earn money, he couldn't bear to order it.
She flipped through the menu for a while, trying to see which dishes were relatively good value for money.
Jiang Cheng seemed to notice her hesitation, and he said in a low voice, "Order whatever you want to eat."
Then he smiled somewhat helplessly, "I can afford it."
Pei Xi smiled and said, "Yes, I know."
Then she looked up and called out the names of several dishes to the waiter.
These are the dishes she just picked out; they're dishes she likes and aren't too expensive.
After taking the order, the waiter gave a slight bow and then walked away.
Only the two of them remained at the table.
Jiang Cheng didn't speak, but just looked at Pei Xi quietly, his eyes filled with inscrutable emotions.
Pei Xi was taken aback. "What's wrong?"
Jiang Cheng paused for a moment, then asked her softly, "When you come out with Pei Zhi, do you also hesitate for this long when ordering food?"
Pei Xi paused for a moment, then shook his head.
Jiang Cheng seemed to sigh, "Pei Xi, don't try to save money for me."
His hand, which was under the table, clenched unconsciously.
It's just a meal.
She would hesitate.
Jiang Cheng felt a tightness in his chest, not because of his male pride, but because he suddenly felt guilty for wronging Pei Xi.
If it weren't for his sake, Pei Xi would never have experienced this kind of careful spending of money in his entire life.
But he didn't want her to be like that.
He didn't want her to change because of him, because he felt wronged.
She is what she was meant to be.
His responsibility should be to make her life better.
Say what you want, make any requests, without any worries.
They only consider whether they want it or not, without considering any other factors.
She's like the most pampered and willful little princess in the world.
He was willing to go through fire and water to meet her demands.
The word "willful" seems to have never been associated with Pei Xi. Even if everyone in the world becomes willful, she probably won't.
But Jiang Cheng wanted to be the one who would let her be willful.
Hearing Jiang Cheng's words, Pei Xi blinked and then said gently, "This is called saving money by not wasting it."
Seemingly afraid that her words wouldn't be convincing, she smiled and raised an eyebrow, then said, "Don't worry, when you become very rich in the future, even if you want me to save you money, I won't."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng gave a sullen laugh.
He said seriously, "Then it's a deal, no backing out."
