"This is the feast you were talking about?"
When Niu Dachun saw the pan-fried buns piled up like a small mountain, he couldn't help but feel ashamed.
"Eat."
"Dachun, why aren't you eating?"
Li Xiuyuan held one basket in his left hand and one in his right, and poured the food directly into his mouth without any manners, as if he were a reincarnated starving ghost.
Looking at Li Xiuyuan now, Niu Dachun couldn't help but recall the first time he met Li Xiuyuan. At that time, Li Xiuyuan gave him a sense of unfathomable and awe-inspiring majesty.
However, now...
"Big brother, you eat so fast!"
"Even Yao Yao can't keep up with you."
Qin Yao, a fan of pan-fried buns, immediately started competing with Li Xiuyuan.
Qin Yao held two pan-fried buns in her left hand and two in her right, taking two at a time. Her bulging cheeks twitched wildly as she tried to swallow them quickly so she could enjoy the next one.
In the competition between the two, Niu Dachun's pan-fried buns were stacked high, almost reaching the ceiling.
belch--
Li Xiuyuan let out a satisfying burp, a burp so loud it was like a thunderclap, almost lifting the ceiling off the building.
"Wow, big brother's burp is really loud."
"Yaoyao wants one too." Qin Yao looked at Li Xiuyuan with an envious expression on her face.
He also started burping, just like Li Xiuyuan.
belch--
However, Qin Yao's burp wasn't as loud as Li Xiuyuan's; it was just a very ordinary burp.
A look of disappointment immediately appeared on Qin Yao's face.
Seeing this, Li Xiuyuan stepped forward to comfort him.
"When Yao Yao grows up to be as big as her big brother, she'll be able to burp as loudly as him!"
"Hahahaha!"
"Okay. Yao Yao must grow up quickly so she can burp as loudly as her big brother!"
Seeing the two of them so happy, Niu Dachun felt a strange sense of unease. He couldn't seem to fit into their joyful world; he felt like a third party.
"Hello sir, your total bill is 750 yuan. Would you like to pay by scanning the QR code or in cash?"
A waiter came over and said to Li Xiuyuan.
Li Xiuyuan picked at the bits of meat stuck between his teeth with his little finger as he spoke to the waiter.
Do I look like I have money?
Seeing Li Xiuyuan's actions, Qin Yao imitated him by picking her teeth with her little finger and exclaimed.
"No money, no money."
Seeing their intimate display, Niu Dachun wanted nothing more than to punch Li Xiuyuan in the face. Li Xiuyuan arrived and simply snatched Yaoyao away.
The waiter walked over to Niu Dachun again and said with a dry laugh.
"Sir, look..."
Niu Dachun glared angrily at Li Xiuyuan, a murderous look on his face, then took out his phone and paid the bill.
"Yaoyao, look, Uncle Dachun is unhappy."
"It must be because we ate too much."
Qin Yao looked at Niu Dachun with her pitiful big eyes and confessed.
"Uncle, are you unhappy?"
"I'm sorry, Uncle, Yao Yao will definitely eat less next time."
"Uncle, don't be upset."
Upon seeing Qin Yao's confession, Niu Dachun was immediately overwhelmed with guilt, feeling as if he had committed some heinous crime.
He hurriedly spoke up.
"Yaoyao, Uncle isn't upset."
"It doesn't matter how much you eat."
Seeing Niu Dachun's bewildered expression, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Seeing Li Xiuyuan's happy expression, Niu Dachun felt even worse than if he had lost the martial arts match. He really wanted to punch Li Xiuyuan away.
......
Night falls.
Niu Dachun once again personally paid for a hotel.
Qin Yao had already fallen asleep peacefully.
Niu Dachun and Li Xiuyuan sat on the roof railing of the hotel, both slightly drunk.
"Dachun, I'm leaving soon."
"ah?"
"You're leaving already, you show-off? I'll miss you." Niu Dachun said to Li Xiuyuan, feigning reluctance.
"Ha ha ha ha."
"Brother, your abilities aren't that great, and I didn't expect your acting skills to be so bad either."
"I'm afraid you don't miss me; you just want me to leave sooner rather than later."
Li Xiuyuan bluntly exposed Niu Dachun's true thoughts. A blush immediately appeared on Niu Dachun's face.
"Brother Lao!"
"Before I leave, I still want to advise you: for your own sake and for the sake of your family in Zhuxi Village, you'd better give up looking for your father."
"You have to understand that some things in life can't be accomplished with just enthusiasm."
Li Xiuyuan picked up a bottle of Niulanshan liquor from the railing and took a sip, glancing sideways at Niu Dachun.
Niu Dachun also picked up the Niulan wine in front of him and started drinking.
hei——
Niu Dachun leaned his hands on the railing, gazing at the brightly lit, bustling city of Suzhou, a determined look in his eyes, and spoke.
"I've already taken this step, there's no turning back."
"I chose this path myself; how can I be content until I reach the end?!"
"One day, I will defeat you and step over you to move forward!"
Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan took another sip of Niulanshan liquor.
hei——
"Kid, you've got guts!"
I approve of you!
"You want to defeat me, huh?"
