When Bei Chen woke up the next day, he was still sleepy.
After that dream, he couldn't fall asleep at all and didn't get to sleep until four in the morning.
Upon waking up, I heard Liang Guyin make a momentous decision: "Let's go eat at Baishanlou today!"
Bai Lou is a Chinese restaurant in the capital city.
All the main dishes are based on imperial cuisine and are very famous.
It's very difficult to book a table, and some tables are only available to people of high status.
However, the Bei Chen family has a piano president, a pipa president, and a masked man; any one of their identities would be enough.
The three of them went to a private room at Baishanlou Restaurant along the street, where they could enjoy the scenery and watch people come and go.
"Xiao Chen, you can order whatever you like!" Liang Guyin handed over the menu.
Bei Chen took it and saw that, wow, the price wasn't cheap at all.
Ordering just a few dishes will cost at least two or three thousand.
With such high prices, it's amazing that so many people still come to eat here. There must be a reason why it's so expensive.
When he actually started eating, Bei Chen realized that every dish was quite good; at least in his opinion, the price wasn't that expensive.
"I'm going to the restroom!" Bei Chen said, then pushed open the door and left.
Actually, I didn't really need to go to the bathroom; it was just that Lu Jiuning called.
"Hey, what's wrong!"
"Can you come pick me up?"
Lu Jiuning's first sentence left Bei Chen completely baffled.
"What's going on?"
Lu Jiuning explained, "I have a close friend I haven't seen in a long time, and she happens to be going on a blind date today, so I came to help her choose someone and we can get together at the same time."
Guess what? The person who came for the blind date turned out to be Yan Ping, a candidate for the Little King of Pop.
I never knew a singer had to go on blind dates!
What's more, my best friend has always been a fan of Yan Ping.
After a while, well... anyway, I was the one who got dumped.
"That guy who forgets about his sisters as soon as he gets a boyfriend..."
Despite the criticism, if her best friend Cheng Jie really ends up with Yan Ping, Lu Jiuning would be quite happy for her.
She wanted to find an excuse to leave, partly because she didn't want to be a third wheel and wanted to give them more freedom to develop.
Secondly, she didn't want to steal Cheng Jie's thunder.
Although Cheng Jie is a girl with both good looks and a great figure, she is no match for Lu Jiuning.
Lu Jiuning's beauty is the kind that doesn't require makeup; it possesses elegance and inner beauty, making it incredibly attractive to many.
Not only can it seduce men, it can also seduce women!
Today, I came in Cheng Jie's car. Lu Jiuning didn't have a car, and he didn't even know where to go for the time being.
Just as she was getting agitated, a figure flashed through her mind.
She still remembers those words from yesterday very clearly.
She truly disliked being bound by marriage, let alone an arranged marriage.
What she wanted was never mundane family matters, but the vast universe.
Lu Jiuning cherishes the rare opportunity to find someone who understands him so well.
Moreover, Bei Chen's home seemed to be not far from here, so he simply made a phone call.
Bei Chen had roughly figured out what was going on, and quickly asked, "Where are you now?"
"I work at Baishanlou Restaurant, which isn't far from your home, you should know that, right?"
Bai Shan Lou?
Bei Chen was clearly taken aback. What a coincidence!
Sometimes the world is just that small, and you can always bump into some people unexpectedly.
Sometimes it feels so big that even though we're in the same school, we just can't seem to run into the people we want to meet.
"Hello, can't you hear me?" The other party suddenly went silent, and Lu Jiuning thought there might be a problem with the signal.
“I can hear you, of course I know Baishanlou, and... I’m right behind you!”
Bei Chen walked out of the private room and saw Lu Jiuning sitting in the public rest area.
Upon hearing this, Lu Jiuning turned around and saw the familiar black mask and clothing style. Who else could it be but Bei Chen?
She laughed with delight, "What a coincidence to be here!"
"It's quite a coincidence!" Every time he saw Lu Jiuning's smile, he felt very comfortable.
"Did you come alone? No, it would be so boring to come here alone."
"I came with my parents!"
"Will I bother you? Why don't you go back? I can go for a walk by myself!"
Hearing that Bei Chen had come with his parents, Lu Jiuning naturally didn't want to disturb them.
Just then, a voice came from behind: "There's nothing to disturb. Would you like to come in and have something to eat?"
The two turned around and saw Liang Guyin staring at them with a smile, her eyes showing a mixture of scrutiny and gossip.
"Mom, what are you doing here?" Bei Chen was suddenly at a loss, not knowing how to explain.
Liang Guyin glanced at Bei Chen: "I came out to look for you because you hadn't come back for so long! But I didn't expect you to be chatting with such a beautiful girl. I didn't want to interrupt you!"
Immediately afterwards, Liang Guyin pushed Bei Chen aside, "Jiu Ning, right? From now on, I'll call you Xiao Ning. Come on, since we're already here, let's go in and have something to eat!"
"Ah... Auntie, really, it's not necessary!" Lu Jiuning waved his hand repeatedly.
This was the first time she had ever seen such a scene, and her mind went blank for a moment.
In a daze, Liang Guyin pushed her into the private room.
Imagine her, a bar shrew with an aura that could intimidate ten streets, now acting like a little lamb in front of Liang Guyin, so docile it's unlike her usual self.
Upon closer inspection, Beiheshan realized that this was the girl who had brought Xiaochen back yesterday.
Now that I see her up close, she is indeed exceptionally beautiful, unlike the daughters of ordinary families.
"Please sit down, please sit down. I'll go order a few more dishes!"
Seeing that he couldn't escape, Lu Jiuning sat obediently in his seat, not daring to move.
All I could think was: Help! This is so embarrassing!
Having just escaped one wolf's den, they fell into another tiger's mouth.
I dared not make any big movements, nor did I dare to look at my phone; I could only secretly play with my fingers.
"Xiao Chen told me that Beehive Bar was able to stay afloat because of your investment, so we'll switch to tea instead of alcohol. Thank you!"
Lu Jiuning waved his hand again: "Auntie, you're too kind. I actually have my own purpose."
"No, no, no, we appreciate this favor. If you need anything in the future, we're happy to help. Just come to us."
After finishing her tea, Liang Guyin started asking all sorts of questions and didn't stop.
Bei Chen was completely bewildered. This was supposed to be the procedure for meeting one's daughter-in-law! Mom, are you sure you're not mistaken?
She quickly interrupted Liang Guyin, "Mom, stop for a second. The food is here, we have to let them have a bite!"
Liang Guyin slapped her forehead. "Oh right, right, eat the vegetables!"
Liang Guyin and Beiheshan's enthusiasm was not driven by any strong ulterior motive.
Having seen many sycophants in the Lu family, Lu Jiuning found this kind of clean and pure enthusiasm very comfortable.
It was a little awkward, but it was very relaxing.
After the meal, Liang Guyin dragged Bei Heshan away, leaving the space to Bei Chen and Lu Jiuning...
