"Thank you, I understand," Li Zhiyi replied with a smile.
Gu Siye felt a nameless anger rising within him, and he didn't know how to vent it. He himself didn't know why he was so angry, and he found Chen Zhihe increasingly displeasing!
Fu Yanche noticed the glass bottle in Li Zhiyi's hand and reached out to take it, but Li Zhiyi snatched it away: "What do you want to do?"
This bottle is just an ordinary bottle; it's the one she just drank coconut milk from. She thought it was pretty and couldn't bear to throw it away. She never expected it to come in handy so soon. But if it breaks, Yu Feier will revert to her original form. The reason Yu Feier is so small now is because she used the shrinking talisman.
"Miss Li, why is there a little red fish in your bottle?"
"Yeah, I'll keep it for fun."
Gu Siye also looked at the glass bottle in her hand. If she really wanted to keep them as pets, why didn't she get more? There was only one little red fish.
Perhaps because Gu Sinian had been staring at the little red fish for too long, Yu Feier felt a little guilty and turned her head away.
Gu Siyue became even more curious. This little red fish seemed to understand human emotions; it even knew to turn its head. Yes, because the little red fish's body didn't move; it just turned its head in a different direction, clearly not wanting to meet his gaze.
Before he could even think it through, Gu Nianzhi brought out several kinds of cakes and candies. "Brother, this little cake is for you. Xiaobai, these are all yours, eat up."
Seeing so much delicious food, Xiaobai's aloof persona crumbled, and he puffed out his cheeks and started eating. He originally thought he couldn't finish so much food, but to his surprise, it was all gone in no time.
Gu Nianzhi was very happy; Xiaobai had finally accepted her kindness.
"Can I hug you, Little White?"
Little Whitey meowed in agreement.
Gu Nianzhi happily hugged Xiaobai and kept petting it. The more she touched its fur, the smoother it became, and the more she wanted to pet it. Xiaobai didn't like being petted like that, so it immediately jumped back into Li Zhiyi's arms.
It was almost 10 o'clock, and many people were getting impatient because they had come here specifically to eat a hot and fresh giant fish, but the giant fish dish still hadn't been served.
"Could it be that this big fish is fake, or that there isn't a big fish at all?"
"Nonsense, I don't think such a big restaurant would need to lie to people, would it?"
"Yes, we can't ruin our reputation, can we? This place is famous for its 'Sea Feast,' and it has the most complete selection of seafood in all of Bangkok."
Looking at the disgusting faces of these people, Yu Feier remained motionless in the water, feeling both fear and anger. These humans were truly insatiable, having eaten her fellow humans and now wanting to eat her too.
Before we knew it, it was already ten o'clock.
Just then, someone shouted, "Make way! A big fish is coming! A big fish is coming..." Everyone craned their necks, eager to catch a glimpse of this strange fish.
Gu Nianzhi was also very curious and asked Li Zhiyi, who was standing next to her, "Sister-in-law, what do you think this strange fish looks like?"
"Don't be curious, maybe there's no strange fish at all."
When Gu Siyue heard her say that, he felt as if she knew something inside, and he glanced at her casually.
Waiters came in one after another, placing things in the hall, but they were covered with white cloths so you couldn't see what was inside.
But everyone was captivated by the delicious aroma. It smelled so good that even people who weren't hungry before felt like they could eat half a pound of fish.
Only after the last waiter left did a man who looked like a manager come over and say to everyone, "Sorry to keep you waiting. Now I will reveal the true nature of this strange fish."
The manager stepped forward, holding a pole, and lifted the white cloths one by one. The aroma became even stronger, and then everyone saw a large fish that had been cooked, sprinkled with scallions and some kind of seasoning. However, the fish was not whole; it had been cut into pieces.
Someone couldn't help but ask, "Manager, why did you cut this big fish in half? Wouldn't it be more impressive to cook it whole?"
"You may not know this, but this fish is quite large. Where would we find a steamer and pot this big? So, we cut it into sections and cooked it, and each section has a different flavor. This way, we can satisfy everyone's different tastes and make it easier for everyone to enjoy. Everyone, please try it and see how it tastes."
After the manager finished speaking, he took the initiative to invite everyone to start eating.
Some people had already grown impatient and started eating with their chopsticks. More and more people began to savor the large fish that had been cut into sections.
Li Zhiyi couldn't believe these people were so easily fooled. These weren't even made from the same fish; they were just pieced together.
It seems the people at this restaurant are really clever, because you can't just say the big fish ran away. If you do, your customers will run away too, and how will you make money then?
Gu Nianzhi also wanted to pick up her chopsticks to taste it, but Li Zhiyi stopped her, because these pieces of fish were not good stuff; they had some secret ingredients on them, which was why they smelled so fragrant.
Fu Yanche had already learned his lesson. Seeing that Li Zhiyi wouldn't let Gu Nianzhi taste it, he also put down his chopsticks.
The manager looked at the people in front of him, each one of them like a starving ghost, eating the fish and making satisfied noises. He smiled contentedly.
Luckily, he was clever and came up with a solution in time. Otherwise, what would have happened to such a big mess? The big fish had already been almost eaten. He shouldn't let the boss know that the big monster fish was lost, or the boss would fire him. Where would he find such a good job?
"Manager, this fish is so fresh and delicious!"
"Yes, it's so delicious! It's the best food I've ever had. Thank you, manager."
The manager smiled smugly and said, "Everyone, enjoy your meal. This big, strange fish was really hard to catch. We even lost a few of our men. Who knows when we'll get to taste it again?"
As soon as the manager spoke, everyone picked up their chopsticks even more vigorously, and some people even grabbed a fish tail with their hands and ate it in order to get an extra bite.
Li Zhi couldn't bear to watch this scene and turned away.
"Is there something wrong with this fish?" Gu Siye caught up with Li Zhiyi and asked.
"Yes, the big monster fish got away. This is made by piecing together many fish, and something was added on top, which is why everyone is eating it so deliciously."
But she hadn't figured out exactly what was added; she couldn't very well taste it herself.
How do you know the giant fish escaped?
Li Zhi blinked. "Yeah, I guessed!"
Her lively appearance made Gu Nianzhi, who was standing to the side, want to chuckle. Was her sister-in-law flirting and showing affection to her brother?
