Before Tang Seng could answer, Yu Ningning glanced at her watch and said with a soft "hmm," "Perfect timing. I see we still have some time after the meeting at Yaoxing Entertainment. That should be enough for us to have dinner to celebrate."
"It's my treat, what would you like to eat?"
Faced with free food, everyone quickly forgot their sympathy for Tang Sanzang and began to eagerly list the dishes.
"Hot pot, I love hot pot the most. You should eat hot pot in winter."
"Barbecue! We haven't had barbecue in so long! I can't even have some baby meat, can't I at least have some other barbecue to satisfy my craving?"
"Milk tea, milk tea! I don't care what you guys eat, I'm definitely going to order milk tea."
"Sichuan cuisine, I've been really into Mapo Tofu lately."
"May I offer a suggestion? I recently discovered a vegetarian restaurant in the city that serves quite good food. Perhaps you could give it a try?"
"Get out of here, Tang Sanzang! You're not qualified to recite the menu!"
...
Watching the bustling crowd with a smile, Jing Ke crossed his arms in front of his chest, nestled into the soft sofa, and looked at them with an unprecedented sense of peace and contentment.
Sensing his change, Qin Shi Huang turned to look at him and asked directly, "Are you leaving?"
"Mm." Jing Ke responded with a gentle smile, stretched, and said with a satisfied tone, "Finally finished dealing with those contracts, and I've had my turn to travel around the world. I've eaten, drunk, and played, and I have no regrets."
"It's time to leave."
Although they were once bitter rivals who were constantly on the run, after spending so much time together in this world, they have developed some feelings for each other.
Qin Shi Huang was silent for a moment, then asked, "When exactly?"
“Hmm…” Jing Ke pondered for a moment, then gave a faint smile. “Although it’s not entirely accurate, I can sense that it should be within the next couple of days.”
Qin Shi Huang frowned slightly, just about to say something.
Jing Ke smiled and said, "Your Highness, I apologize, but I prefer to address you as such rather than as the later Emperor Qin Shi Huang. Could you please keep this a secret for me for the time being?"
"Parting is an excessively sad thing, and I don't want to break the happy and relaxed atmosphere we're in right now."
Even at the very last moment of this long life, I would rather see only bright smiles on everyone's faces than sorrowful expressions of reluctance...
Understanding Jing Ke's mindset perfectly, Qin Shi Huang nodded slightly and said in a low voice, "I know."
...
At this point, the lively discussion among the group finally came to a conclusion. After eliminating Tang Sanzang's invalid dissenting vote, everyone unanimously decided to go to a barbecue restaurant for an all-you-can-eat barbecue.
With Shen Longcheng providing the convoy, a group of people, along with Wei Er, who was working himself to the bone revising his manuscript, went to a barbecue restaurant amidst much noise.
The restaurant gave the group the largest private room. As usual, Qin Shi Huang ordered every meat dish on the menu for everyone three times, and finally, he stingily ordered a bowl of porridge for Tang Sanzang.
While everyone was enthusiastically eating barbecue, Tang Sanzang sat quietly by the door, nibbling on his porridge while helping everyone catch the meat.
They dared not offer any rebuttal.
