Chapter 74: Showing Off Your Skills (2/2)



"Let's go."

Gu Shiyi took Lin Yi's arm and smiled at Huang Yuqing.

"Okay, let's take a taxi across. The car I called is on the way and will be here soon."

Lin Yi frowned: "Is it still far? Didn't they say it's nearby? Why did they still take a taxi?"

"It's not far, only a minute's drive."

Huang Yuqing explained with a smile.

Lin Yi: "Then the journey is only about ten minutes, right? We can just stroll there for a while, right?"

"I was thinking you two must be hungry, and walking across the river is even more exhausting. You're already tired from sitting in the car for so long today. So, I'm treating you to a meal, so I have to be considerate. Shi Yi, you wouldn't want your boyfriend to walk across the river, right?"

Gu Shiyi looked at Huang Yuqing's expression. Although she had a harmless smile on her face, she could still catch the provocation in her eyes.

"Yuqing, it's normal for you to think this way. After all, you're not familiar with Lin Yi and don't know him well. He's incredibly strong. Even when he was starving, he could still carry me for ten miles. When we go out to eat, we rarely take a taxi. He always carries me when he's tired."

"But it was kind of you to take a taxi today. Lin Yi and I will respectfully obey your order. Thank you."

Huang Yuqing had an awkward smile on her lips and couldn't help twitching a few times.

She found a very stylish Western restaurant.

It was a brand chain store that cost a lot of money. There was only one in City A. Gu Shiyi often ate there with her mother. Basically, whenever her father had time and wanted to go out for a meal, they would choose this store first.

Lin Yi didn't care. He would just eat whatever Gu Shiyi liked.

The three of them found a seat by the window and sat down. Huang Yuqing stretched out her hand and snapped her fingers.

"Waiter!"

The waiter who was coming this way quickened his pace and handed three menus to them in a very friendly manner.

"What would you three like to eat?"

Huang Yuqing looked at Lin Yi and Gu Shiyi.

Gu Shiyi closed the menu and handed it to the waiter.

"This beautiful lady is treating us, so let's listen to her. Do you come here often? Then you can recommend it."

Huang Yuqing was waiting for Gu Shiyi to say this. She closed the menu and handed it to the waiter, revealing her exquisite and perfect profile in front of Lin Yi, and then said several English dish names very fluently.

Her pronunciation was good and fluent, but it was still not enough compared to Lin Yi's advanced knowledge and Gu Shiyi's former prestigious university.

Hearing Huang Yuqing order three ice creams in English, Lin Yi quickly spoke out to stop her.

Looking at the waiter, he said in very polite Mandarin, "I'm sorry, she just ordered three ice creams. Could you please bring just one? I don't like sweet things, and my girlfriend's aunt doesn't like cold food. She likes sweets. Could you please bring her a caramel sea salt cake, thank you."

The waiter nodded and smiled, "Okay, sir, you are so considerate to your girlfriend."

Then he looked at Huang Yuqing, "Hello, do you have anything else to add?"

Huang Yuqing sat there awkwardly, feeling like she was just a clown.

I showed off my English for a long time, and it turned out that people could understand me completely.

Huang Yuqing forced a smile on her face, but she no longer had the passion she had just had. She said calmly, "That's all for now. Thank you."

"Okay, wait a moment, the three of you."

After the waiter left, Huang Yuqing seemed to be trying to cover up the embarrassment and tried to find a new topic.

"Are you two confident in this competition? I heard that getting a high ranking can guarantee admission to Peking University or Tsinghua University. I'd like to give it my all."
