“Young Madam, the nearest bus stop to Xinghai Bay is two kilometers away. Let Xiao Zhang drive you there.”
An Yiruo thought to herself, "This is indeed a high-end residential area. Do people in high-end residential areas not take the bus?"
That's true. Those who can afford to live in Xinghai Bay are all wealthy people, and which wealthy person doesn't have a car when they go out?
In the end, An Yiruo succumbed to reality: "Then I'll have to trouble Xiao Zhang."
"It is my honor to serve you, young mistress. You are too kind."
An Yiruo passed the exam and breathed a sigh of relief. She went back to her room, tidied herself up, put on light makeup, and found a set of clothes without any brand logos in her closet to wear.
Wang Tingting also sent a dinner invitation in the group: "Sisters, same place at six o'clock tonight, see you there."
An Yiruo and her roommates' favorite place to eat together is that restaurant that serves boiled fish and crayfish. Because they go there so often, they have designated that restaurant as their go-to spot.
Wang Tingting sent the message, followed by three OK emojis.
An Yiruo glanced at the time; it was about time to get ready to leave.
After going downstairs, Uncle Wang said from the side, "Young Madam, are you getting ready to go out?"
"Um."
"Okay, I'll go and inform Xiao Zhang right away."
An Yiruo nodded, walked to the entrance, changed her shoes, opened the door, and left.
After getting on the bus, An Yiruo told Xiao Zhang the name of the restaurant where they would be having dinner that night.
"Yes, young mistress."
When they were almost at their destination, An Yiruo asked Xiao Zhang to park the car on another street, and she got out and walked over.
If her roommates saw her riding in a luxury car with a chauffeur, she really wouldn't be able to explain it in a short time.
An Yiruo entered the private room and saw that everyone had already arrived.
It felt very warm and familiar after not seeing each other for so long.
"An'an, you're here. Come and sit down." Wang Tingting waved enthusiastically to An'an and leaned happily on Dong Hui's shoulder.
"Oh, look at how happy Tingting is, it's practically overflowing with happiness."
“That’s right, women in love are definitely different,” said another roommate, Gu Siqi.
"Oh, no, you're all just making fun of me," Wang Tingting said, sitting up straight from Dong Hui's shoulder and looking at everyone. "Let's order."
"Okay, okay, let's order," Li Mei said with a smile, continuing from where Wang Tingting left off.
Because Dong Hui was there, and it was their first meeting, it was inevitable that they would feel a little awkward.
If I order according to my usual appetite from the menu, will I scare people away on our first meal together?
If they didn't order, everyone would go hungry, and the three of them found themselves in a dilemma.
You look at me, I look at you.
Wang Tingting noticed everyone's unusual behavior today and said, "Why isn't anyone ordering anything? Or are we just going to stick to what we see?"
"The usual, no thanks, there's too much to eat." Li Mei looked at Wang Tingting, while glancing in Dong Hui's direction, hoping Tingting could understand the meaning in her eyes.
However, Wang Tingting didn't understand, but Dong Hui, who was next to her, figured it out first.
"Everyone, please don't be shy. I know Tingting's appetite, and I love to eat too. Order as much as you like, don't try to save me money."
“Yes, order as much food as you want, empty his wallet,” Wang Tingting said, looking at Dong Hui with a hint of provocation.
"Okay," Dong Hui said, looking at Tingting with doting eyes as she made a fuss.
"Waiter, we'd like to order," Wang Tingting called out loudly.
The waiter came over upon hearing the noise: "What would you like to eat?"
"Boiled fish, crayfish, a side of cucumber salad, a side of stir-fried greens..." Wang Tingting looked at the menu and ordered six dishes.
"How many kilograms of fish would you like? And how many kilograms of crayfish?" the waiter asked while taking notes.
"Five catties of fish and ten catties of shrimp."
"Okay, everyone, please wait a moment."
After ordering, Li Mei and Gu Siqi's mouths were watering, as if the fish and shrimp were already on the table.
"Well, before all the dishes are served, let me formally introduce you all. This is my boyfriend, Dong Hui," Wang Tingting said.
"Ahem, Dong Hui, you'd better treat our Tingting better from now on. If we find out you're bullying her..." Li Mei hadn't finished speaking.
Dong Hui immediately stood up from his chair and said loudly, "Please rest assured, everyone, I will definitely treat Tingting well and will not let her suffer any injustice."
After saying that, Dong Hui wanted to make a vow, but Li Mei refused.
"It's enough that you have Tingting in your heart; there's no need for vows or anything like that."
Because Li Mei felt that vows were all empty and meaningless. Many celebrities had made vows of eternal love, but in the end, they all went their separate ways.
As long as Dong Hui has Tingting in his heart, can take care of her, and loves her, that is more important than any vow.
"The food is here, be careful, it's hot," the waiter said as he entered from the doorway, carrying a plate of boiled fish.
An Yiruo noticed Dong Hui's subconscious action of pulling Tingting into his arms.
An Yiruo felt that Tingting's boyfriend was not bad because of this detail.
They hadn't seen each other for a long time and had many topics to talk about, but Dong Hui didn't find the conversation between the women boring at all.
He quietly served food to Tingting, looking at her with doting eyes.
"Tingting, I really envy you for finding such a great boyfriend."
Watching the two of them show affection all night long, Li Mei and Gu Siqi looked on with envy.
"Now that I've found my place, you all should hurry up too. An'an, especially you, the undisputed beauty of our department, when will you find your own place?"
"I...I'm not in a hurry." An Yiruo picked up her water glass, took a sip, and sat there, but the image of Mo Jingchen involuntarily appeared in her mind, and she was momentarily stunned.
"An'an, what are you thinking about?" Li Mei sat next to An Yiruo, looking at her in a daze.
"I wasn't thinking about anything, just that the food tonight was really delicious. Also, I was thinking about introducing Meimei to a boyfriend," An Yiruo said jokingly.
"An'an, do you have any suitable resources? Quick, do you have any photos?" Li Mei immediately became interested upon hearing this and came over to ask.
“Not now. Meimei, can you control yourself and not show so much interest?” An Yiruo said, somewhat amused and exasperated.
"You're a well-fed person who doesn't know the hunger of an starving person. You're so beautiful, if you wanted to find a boyfriend, you could have a whole circle of people around the world in no time. But I don't have your beauty, nor are I as outstanding as you, so I have to cherish every opportunity."
Seeing Tingting so happy today, Li Mei's determination to find a boyfriend has become even stronger.
"Meimei, it's not as exaggerated as you say."
“An’an, I can vouch for that. Back when you were a freshman, so many boys wanted to pursue you. You didn’t have a cell phone back then, and all those boys came to me and Meimei’s place,” Gu Siqi said earnestly from the side.
