"So this is the buffet restaurant where you work!" Mo Ru looked around curiously, then asked Wei Deng, "Can I sit in a private room by myself?"
Wei Deng puffed out his chest and assured, "Of course! You're my friend, Wei Deng. What kind of seafood and meat would you like? I'll grill it for you myself."
"Do you, a mere waiter, have so much power? So, if I want an extra lobster, then I can have one too?"
Although the buffet restaurant wasn't cheap, seafood like Boston lobster wasn't unlimited like those buffets that cost over a thousand. At the restaurant where Weiden worked, each person was limited to one lobster. Other limited items included Wagyu beef and crayfish, which were more expensive.
In fact, as a waiter, Wei Deng had no right to give people extra food, but in order to save face in front of Mo Ru, he nodded very firmly: "Of course, I'll give you an extra one later, but you can't tell anyone, otherwise everyone will try to take advantage of you, and the manager will cause me trouble."
Wei Deng had already decided that he would pay for two bills later, so the manager wouldn't say anything and Mo Ru wouldn't find out. As long as she was happy, that was all that mattered.
Sure enough, Mo Ru smiled broadly and said, "Wei Deng, you're so kind!"
"I'll go get you some lobster. If you want anything else, you can go get it yourself first."
"Well, Weiden, you really impressed me today."
Although Wei Deng felt a little bad about paying for two meals for her alone, he felt it was worth it when he heard Mo Ru say those words.
Having bought everything, Weiden not only took two lobsters, but also an extra portion of Wagyu beef and langoustines, and then used his best skills since starting work here to grill them for Mo Ru.
He'd been working here for almost a month now, and he hadn't eaten a single meal by himself yet! But the money he spent on this meal could have allowed his mother to cook even more delicious food, and it would taste even better. If it weren't for wanting to save face in front of Mo Ru, he would have loved to take Mo Ru to his mother's place for a meal.
"Mo Ru, I'll bring you even more delicious food when school starts," Wei Deng said mysteriously.
Mo Ru ate her Wagyu beef with satisfaction, blinking her delicate false eyelashes: "Why do we have to wait until school starts?"
"Because it's only available at that time, it definitely won't disappoint you."
"Okay, then I'll wait. You've been baking for so long, but you haven't even taken a bite yourself. Open your mouth."
Wei Deng was stunned for a moment, then saw Mo Ru extend her chopsticks over. Instantly, his heart felt like fireworks were going off. He then happily ate the food, and that one bite brought the ambiguous atmosphere between the two of them to its peak.
Just as Mo Ru was about to feed him the second bite, Wei Deng shook his head regretfully and refused: "Mo Ru, you eat it yourself. According to the rules, we waiters are not allowed to eat the customers' food."
Mo Ru tilted her head slightly: "Is it not allowed if no one can see us in the private room?"
"No, I have to abide by my professional ethics."
Mo Ru chuckled again: "I didn't expect you to be so serious. Well then, I won't force you."
Mo Ru ate for more than two hours. In the end, besides finishing the two Boston lobsters, there were still some of the limited Wagyu beef and langoustines left. Wei Deng was heartbroken, but no matter how heartbroken he was, he couldn't show it.
As she was leaving, Mo Ru asked softly, "When do you get off work?"
"Get off work? Not until after 10 o'clock."
"So late? I was planning to watch a movie with you!"
Wei Deng's eyes lit up: "Want to see a movie? I'll ask the manager if I can get leave, and then I'll take you back to school."
"Oh, so you haven't moved back to school yet?"
"We'll move after we finish these next two days, since school hasn't started yet anyway."
"Then I'll go outside and wait for you. Hurry up and come."
Wei Deng sighed inwardly. Sure enough, having money in hand is still important. He had been pursuing Mo Ru for half a year last year, but she didn't give him such a good look. However, with so many people pursuing Mo Ru, it was worth spending more money.
After excitedly asking the manager for leave, Wei Deng took Mo Ru to see a movie. Mo Ru said she would treat, but in the end, Wei Deng insisted on paying the bill.
While watching the movie, Wei Deng remembered the taste of beef that Mo Ru had, and boldly reached out to hold Mo Ru's hand. Seeing that Mo Ru did not resist, Wei Deng was so happy that he couldn't concentrate on the movie.
On the way back, the two held hands the whole time. Wei Deng walked her downstairs, then mustered up his courage and asked, "Mo Ru, will you be my girlfriend?"
Mo Ru cupped her face in her hands, her eyes sparkling: "They've already allowed you to hold hands, what do you think?"
Instantly, Wei Deng hugged her with delight: "Mo Ru, thank you!"
"Why are you thanking me? Fool, do you really think I didn't see what you did last year?"
"So you were moved by me last year?"
"Otherwise what? Just because of this meal? Do you think I'm the kind of person who casually associates with people just because of a meal? Is that how you see me?"
"In my heart, of course not, I swear!"
Mo Ru gently broke free from him: "Okay, I know you didn't mean that. It's getting late, you should go back first. It'll take several tens of minutes to get there by bus! You grilled meat for me for two hours today, you must be tired. I forgot to tell you, you grilled it very well."
"If you like it, I'll bake it for you again next time."
"Okay, goodbye."
"Goodbye." Wei Deng watched Mo Ru go upstairs with reluctance. He never expected the surprise to come so quickly!
After Mo Ru went upstairs, her roommate, who had arrived at school early with her, looked at her with a gossipy expression: "After chasing Wei Deng for a year, you finally agreed to be with him?"
"Why not agree?" Mo Ru stood behind the curtains, looking at Wei Deng, who was still downstairs. "He's handsome, it's a good thing to take him out, and he's so loyal to me, he's pretty good."
“But according to his roommate, he doesn’t seem as rich as he appears.”
“I don’t care how much money his family has, as long as he’s willing to spend it on me. He told me that he earned 4,000 yuan from his winter break job this month, and his family gave him all of it. His living expenses after school starts will be calculated separately.”
Her roommate looked at her with envy: "You're so lucky to have found someone like Wei Deng who's so devoted to you."
Mo Ru's smile never faded. Although Wei Deng had many flaws, she was just dating him, not marrying him. As long as Wei Deng was good-looking and willing to spend money on her, that was enough.
Wei Deng, who had just left, was clearly unaware of Mo Ru's true feelings and was overjoyed.
However, the two were evenly matched; Wei Deng initially pursued Mo Ru because of her good looks.
When Wei Deng went to Song Xia's place for dinner this time, Song Xia saw him frequently checking his phone and knew that Wei Deng was still with Mo Ru after all.
Ha, you two can be together if you want, but don't even think about relying on Wei Zhu or your parents for support in this lifetime. If you want a better life in the future, go earn it yourself.
