Loran Hill and several girls who were traveling with her walked into the restaurant building. They first lifted up their white velvet hoods, and then shook off the snowflakes on their bodies.
Snowflakes and a small amount of water droplets fall on the copper grille on the ground, slowly melting, and then flowing into the ground through the gaps in the grille. These grilles are distributed at various entrances to the restaurant building and are specially used to drain rainwater and snowflakes. The sewage will flow through underground passages to a special treatment area.
Wearing gray boots, Loran Hill walked on the gray stone slabs in the hall, looking at the huge copper ball floating in the air. Although he had seen it several times, there was still a hint of surprise in his eyes.
This copper sphere, roughly 20 meters in diameter, resembled a celestial sphere, with several layers inside and out, rotating in different directions. From time to time, its fiery red core would appear from within its intricately carved patterns. Heat continuously emanated from the instrument, warming each floor surrounding it.
Students in all sorts of clothing wandered between the floors, their conversations, the clinking of cups, the simmering of soup, and the shouting of hawkers filling the halls. Compared to other seasons, winter's chill meant many people avoided the cold and cooked their own meals, instead heading directly to the cafeteria, resulting in significantly larger crowds.
"Let's go have barbecue today."
Alena suggested as she walked ahead, and the others didn't object, so everyone headed towards the barbecue area on the 4th floor.
Lily, Alena, Ye Ling, and Bumansha went to choose the dishes, while Letis, Vimiya, Loran Hill, and Niya found an empty table to sit down, lit the charcoal fire in the middle of the stone table, and waited slowly.
Vimiya was still the same as before, not talking much, wearing a veil, with her aqua-blue curly hair draped over her chest and shoulders, and her sapphire-like eyes watching the charcoal fire that was gradually turning red.
"Where is Vimiya from?" Lettice became slightly interested in it. It seemed that she had never asked this question before.
"On an island somewhere in the east." Vimiya's voice as soft as water came from under the white veil.
"Is it the Plantagenet dynasty?" Lettice thought about it and couldn't remember any islands in the east.
"No." Weimiya shook her head before continuing.
"It's on the ocean between the eastern and western continents."
"The Endless Sea? But isn't there a big storm there, making it difficult to sail?" Lettice was a little surprised.
"Yes."
Vimiya nodded, but did not explain further. At this time, the girls who ordered the food also came back.
"I brought a lot of meat, let's have a good meal tonight~" Alena said excitedly.
"You talk as if you're treating us," Lettice complained softly.
"I picked some vegetables." The basket that Bumansha brought contained potato chips, eggplant, and cauliflower.
"Of course you have to drink." Lily placed a few bottles of red wine on the stone table, and they made crisp sounds when they collided with each other.
"Seasonings." Ye Ling was holding a basket filled with various small bottles, and her eyes were shining with an inexplicable light.
Several people placed the barbecue grill on the charcoal fire, selected their favorite foods and put them on it to roast. The stone table gradually warmed up, so that the arms and wrists placed on it would not feel cold.
A small amount of light shines through the glass ceiling in the center of the hall. The huge copper-patterned ball in the middle rotates continuously, warming the room. The lights on each floor are neat and dense, connecting into one, making the hall bright and warm. Only the occasional change in the light from the glass ceiling makes everyone realize that it is a cold and windy winter outside.
While waiting for the barbecue, some of them chatted, while others remained silent. For example, Loran Hill opened a recently borrowed book and slowly flipped through the pages on the warm stone table. Vimiya quietly turned the food over. Ye Ling, with great interest, poured the seasoning in the glass bottle and sprinkled it on the browned barbecue. From time to time, a burst of aroma wafted from the table.
Since the girls at this table were all very good-looking, especially Lettice, Roland, and Ye Ling, they attracted quite a few passing students, and everyone's eyes would always "inadvertently" glance over and take a sneak peek.
"Boss, you've been watching for so long, why not just go up and say hello? Although Miss Luo Lan didn't agree last time, she has a good personality and won't embarrass you too much."
At a table not far away, several young men were sitting together with sumptuous food in front of them. Unfortunately, the blond young man sitting in the middle was obviously absent-minded.
"Grace, you don't understand." The blond young man in the middle patted his friend's shoulder.
"Every opportunity to meet someone is precious. If I can't leave a positive impression on them, I'd rather not meet them."
"If you waste this kind of opportunity, you will only leave the other party with a dull or even disgusting impression, and ultimately lose all possibilities."
"As expected of Big Brother Jie Lann, he's so good at love." A younger brother praised him from the side.
"Boss, you really think far ahead. Let me toast you." Another childhood friend also raised his glass.
There were five people at Jie Lan'en's table. Although there weren't many of them, they were all his childhood friends. So there was no need for him to put on airs like outsiders. They came here to eat after class today, and it happened that Jie Lan'en saw the beautiful black-haired girl again.
He had actually met Luo Lan several times by chance last school year, but unfortunately, ever since Luo Lan rejected him, he had only watched from afar and never approached to say hello.
As the son of a duke, he naturally has some self-respect and face. He cannot do such a thing as immediately following up after being rejected, but it is also difficult for him to give up completely.
As the eldest son of the Duke of Griffin, Jelann rarely lacks anything in his life. He always has everything, including extraordinary resources, gold coins, the admiration of others, the love of young girls, etc.
