"I'm not like you either."
"you……"
"What?" Su Xueli looked at him calmly.
Wei Ming took a deep breath. "You won."
Su Xueli laughed heartily.
"I want to eat meat," Wei Mingshen said fiercely.
"Oh, you're going into a restaurant?" Su Xueli asked, looking at the restaurant in front of her.
Wei Mingshen asked with ill intent, "What, you're reluctant to give me any?"
Su Xueli dared not offend this free laborer, so she said only the nicest things to him: "How could that be? I'd rather not eat than not eat for you. Come on, order whatever you want, I'm rich."
"Then I won't stand on ceremony with you." He strode into the restaurant.
Su Xueli clutched her wallet tightly, her heart pounding with anxiety.
I should have known better than to be so quick-witted; now I've lost money.
"Waiter, give me a Farewell Chicken!" he ordered boldly as soon as he sat down.
"Holy crap, this dish costs over ten yuan!" Su Xueli cursed.
But she couldn't very well ask him to back out. She could only console herself: it's just a few dollars, enough for a straw weaving set.
But how much effort and time it takes to weave a set of straw... She could hear the sound of her heart bleeding.
"One more, please..."
"This is a big bowl already. We could have enough rice and steamed buns if we asked for more." She finally couldn't hold back any longer and grabbed his arm.
Wei Mingshen glanced at her disdainfully and ignored her completely. "I'll order another dish to cleanse my palate and another bottle of wine."
"It's too expensive to buy alcohol here. I'll go to the shop next door and buy it for you." Su Xueli rushed out.
Seeing her looking so distressed about the money, Wei Mingshen smiled with satisfaction.
"Here, Yanghe Daqu, are you satisfied?" She placed the liquor on the table.
Wei Mingshen said, "It's alright, open it and pour it in."
"Okay, okay, I'll pour it for you."
"Pour yours too."
"You don't need to tell me, how can I not have a drink with you when the food is so good?" Su Xueli poured him a drink and then poured one for herself.
"Look how loving that young couple is," a man nearby said enviously.
They were a middle-aged couple. The man wore glasses and looked like a government official. The woman had permed hair and red nail polish, dressed like a wealthy woman.
In this day and age, those who can afford to eat at restaurants are either rich or powerful.
The woman perked up at the suggestion, saying, "Pour one for me too, and I'll drink with you."
"Well then, let's have a proper meal together today." The middle-aged man poured wine for the woman.
The woman whispered, "You can tell that man really loves his wife."
Su Xueli paused for a moment, then gave a bitter smile, "You're blind."
She said to Wei Mingshen, "I never thought that people would mistake us for a loving couple."
Wei Mingshen countered, "Aren't you loving?"
Su Xueli rolled her eyes at him, "What do you mean by 'affectionate' between us?"
Wei Mingshen picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and said with a smile, "We both managed to keep our loved ones away for each other's sake, so we can be considered a loving couple, right?"
