Young Master Li?
Li Junyang?
Xia Che raised an eyebrow and subconsciously looked towards the restaurant's floor-to-ceiling window. Sure enough, he saw a figure sitting at the table, staring intently at them.
I understand.
Xia Che instantly understood and found it somewhat amusing.
This is just showing off...
Is he trying to impress Shen Yanxin?
Xia Che could understand Li Junyang's mentality; he simply wanted to show off and then put himself down.
However, this clumsy attempt to show off not only failed to achieve the aforementioned effect, but also made Xia Che feel an undeniable sense of childishness.
As expected, Li Junyang is far from mature. He is still a long way from becoming the flawless hypocrite he became in the later stages of the comics, whose various pretentious tricks were completely natural.
Right now, he's just an immature, immature kid.
"Uh...is it Li Junyang? If so...we are indeed his friends."
Just as Xia Che said, the two girls didn't think Li Junyang was impressive at all; on the contrary, they felt a little embarrassed to have pulled such a stunt in public.
Shen Yanxin, who was already somewhat socially awkward, blushed again after feeling the gazes directed at her from all around, and she could barely lift her head.
"That's right, it's Young Master Li!"
"Welcome to Seattle for dinner, Mr. Li's friend!"
"Welcome, welcome! A warm welcome!"
After confirming the identities of the three people, the waiters quickly lined up, raised their hands and waved them while chanting slogans.
This attracted even more people to look over.
"...6 ooh."
Xia Che looked up at the sky, his eyes stinging at the sight. He sniffed, and a thought suddenly popped into his head:
He had an urge to pretend he didn't know the two girls and turn around and go home...
Even Xia Che, who considered himself thick-skinned, was so embarrassed he was practically crawling on the floor. Not to mention the two girls, whose mental fortitude was even weaker than his, they were truly unable to lift their heads...
"Alright, alright, hurry up and take us inside, stop reading..."
Seeing that the waiter wanted to do it again, Mu Yingying quickly stopped him. This kind of public slapstick performance is entertaining for passersby and a way for performers to relieve stress, but the ones who are forced to accept the performance are the real victims.
Li Junyang used to be quite composed, so why would he suddenly do something like this?
Not only did Xia Che have the idea of running away, but she did too!
"Okay, please follow me."
Fortunately, the waiters chose to let them off the hook and didn't come back. They turned slightly to the side, politely extended their hands with a smile, and then walked into the restaurant ahead of the three of them.
"Li Junyang, he..."
The group followed behind. Mu Yingying's lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't utter a word.
"This sand shelters us from the wind."
Xia Che, with a blank expression, uttered a single sentence.
The two women were stunned for a moment, not understanding what Xia Che was saying at first. After they realized what he meant, their faces turned red as they tried to suppress their laughter.
Although it's not good to talk badly about others behind their backs, this statement truly reflects their feelings.
...
Seattle's dining environment is indeed excellent, with just the right lighting and the melodious piano music played live by a pianist. No wonder it has been repeatedly selected as one of the top ten most beautiful restaurants in Jiang City.
Given this atmosphere, it's no surprise that it was selected.
"You're here?"
Li Junyang straightened his collar, stood up, and greeted them with a smile.
He observed the expressions of the three men and, sure enough, they all seemed a little unnatural. Li Junyang felt a surge of secret pleasure.
As expected...
Once you have money, you have to show off. Otherwise, wouldn't it be like wearing fine clothes in the dark?
What's the point then?
Presumably, Shen Yanxin has seen another side of herself and has already begun to be moved, right?
"So, Xiaoxin, do you like the atmosphere here?"
Thinking of this, Li Junyang looked at Shen Yanxin, just about to hear her praise, when a hand landed on his shoulder, followed by a strong force that pushed him back a few steps.
It's Xia Che!
"Xia Che, you?!"
Li Junyang's eyes flashed with anger. This damn blondie was up to no good again.
But Xia Che acted as if nothing had happened, pushing him aside and sitting down directly. Noticing Li Junyang calling him, Xia Che, holding the menu, looked at him with a puzzled expression: "What's wrong? Didn't you say you were going to treat us? I was just about to order; everyone's hungry after waiting so long."
Xia Che then looked down at the menu, clicking his tongue in amazement: "As expected of a famous restaurant, there are so many dishes, and they all look delicious..."
"Yes, it's said to have a very high rating."
Distracted by Xia Che, Shen Yanxin chuckled and walked past Li Junyang, then sat down next to Xia Che and looked at the menu with him.
"you……"
Li Junyang's anger, which had just begun to rise, was instantly extinguished, leaving him feeling stuck and extremely uncomfortable.
But seeing the two so intimate, even looking at the same menu, Li Junyang felt even more upset.
how so?
Didn't I already leave people to show off in front of them?
Shen Yanxin wasn't surprised at all?
Wasn't she curious about where she got her connections to make the people of Seattle welcome them?
This woman...
Can't you be a little more snobbish?!
"Junyang, please sit down. Xia Che is right, we're all hungry."
When Mu Yingying looked at Li Junyang, her eyes lit up slightly, and then she smiled.
"...Alright then."
Li Junyang sighed helplessly and sat down with Mu Yingying. He was completely baffled as to where things had gone wrong.
Given the naive thinking of high school students who haven't yet entered society, shouldn't they admire themselves at this moment? It's perfectly normal for a little bit of admiration to arise naturally, right?
After all, not just anyone can be welcomed by the people of Seattle.
It's quite frustrating for someone who wants to show off to find they receive no admiration afterward.
Even after all the dishes were served and everyone had almost finished eating, Li Junyang was still somewhat exhausted and looked listless.
Especially the couple sitting across from me...
"This is delicious, come on, you should try it."
Xia Che very naturally placed a piece of beef brisket into Shen Yanxin's bowl. Shen Yanxin showed no sign of mind. She put the beef brisket in her mouth and nodded repeatedly, "It's really delicious!"
Li Junyang's teeth were almost crushed.
I organized this gathering myself, and I treated everyone to food, so why didn't anyone serve me any food?
Ask yourself if this dish tastes good?
Who's really the star of today's dinner party?!
"And this, this shrimp is also good."
Then, a scene that made Li Junyang furious appeared: Shen Yanxin picked up a large shrimp, put on gloves, carefully peeled off the shell, took out the shrimp meat, looked at her hands and saw that she was indeed busy, and then fed it to Xia Che.
Xia Che opened his mouth and took it in one bite; the two were as intimate as a real couple.
