Chapter 364 The Reason His Highness Doesn't Go Home
Sometimes, she really doubted Wen You's sexual orientation.
"Don't doubt it, I just like you." Wen You touched Qu Tong's soft little face.
"Come on, let me take you upstairs for a candlelight dinner."
Wen You pulled Qu Tong past the stunned Cheng Feng and the other two and walked upstairs without even glancing at them.
The elevator doors closed, and Qu Tong removed Wen You's hand with disdain: "Speak normally, didn't you see Cheng Feng's face darken?"
"What does it have to do with me?" Wen You snorted coldly.
Okay, no problem.
"Why are you going on blind dates now?"
"My aunt introduced us. My aunt is unmarried. After my mother passed away, I lived with my aunt and grandmother, so I came here to go through the formalities," Wen You explained casually.
The elevator doors opened, and Wen You led Qu Tong to the private room.
The restaurant's signature dish is king crab, and Wenyou generously ordered all of its specialties.
"Although the dishes here don't have the same purification value as yours, they're very expensive. Don't waste them later." Wen You clutched her chest, looking heartbroken.
Qu Tong nodded in agreement. She had just looked at the menu; it was a five-figure sum, which was indeed quite expensive.
But she was more curious about something else: "What's going on between you two?"
Wen You leaned back, her tone quite casual: "What else can we do? Same as before."
Qu Tong was unsure about Wen You's attitude: "Pretend nothing happened?"
“No, that’s not it.” Wen You shook her head. “He thinks I’m too cold to him and wants me to be more casual with him like before.”
So that's what it meant.
"Weren't you angry just now?"
"Why are you angry? That's my uncle's friend's daughter. She's preparing to take the entrance exam for the First Military Academy next semester and is just here to get familiar with the environment." Wen You looked indifferent. "If she likes this type, it'll save me the trouble of taking responsibility."
Qu Tong didn't know if Wen You was genuinely indifferent or just saying it out of spite.
If it's the former, it will be difficult for it to become a trend.
"gentlemen……"
There was a sound outside the door, and soon the waiters came in one after another pushing food carts, which made Qu Tong unable to think about the complicated relationship between the two.
The waiter introduced the dishes as he served them:
"The first dish: Steamed egg in king crab shell."
"The second course: King crab baked with red pepper."
The third dish: Steamed king crab with yellow pepper sauce.
The fourth course: Crab meat California roll.
Grilled crab legs.
Crab leg sashimi.
"Boiling King Crab"
Typhoon Shelter King Crab.
Crab roe and tofu stew.
There were nine dishes in total, each one exquisite. Putting aside the taste, just looking at them was enough to whet one's appetite.
Wen You was also here for the first time. She was supposedly introduced by that unreliable friend from last time, but this time he was reliable.
With so much food, waste is inevitable.
The taste was alright, and the meat was free of contamination.
"This restaurant has its own fish farm, and some of the ocean stars have good water quality, so the seafood doesn't need purification fluid and the meat is still very good," Wen You recounted to Qu Tong what her friend had told her.
"I heard this place is famous for its sashimi, but it won't be available for another two weeks. I've pre-ordered it and will send you some later."
Qu Tong actually wanted to say that she wasn't used to eating raw food, and she hadn't touched the crab leg sashimi on the table.
But Wen You didn't give her a chance to refuse.
Both of them were quite full after dinner, so they went for a walk to digest their food before Wen You followed Qu Tong back to the capital planet.
"Are you sure you don't need to call Chengfeng? After all, you two came back together." Qu Tong felt sorry for Chengfeng.
"He's not a child, I can just tell him via communication." Wen You said, opening her eyes, turning on her personal terminal, tapping it a couple of times perfunctorily, and then going back to sleep.
Qu Tong shook her head, indicating that she didn't understand.
When Qu Tong returned to the capital planet, it was already six o'clock in the morning.
On the way, Wen You said she planned to buy a house on the capital planet. Wen You is a woman of action, and she went straight to a real estate agency after getting off the aircraft.
Qu Tong went back to Yuelan Bay.
Housekeeper Chi had probably just woken up and was stretching on the balcony.
He reached out halfway and saw Qu Tong, then greeted her with a beaming smile: "Good morning, Madam!"
"Good morning, Uncle Chi! Where is His Highness?"
Qu Tong guessed that Si Yuting should be in the gravity chamber at this time.
But Butler Chi said, "His Highness should still be at Zhongyuan Company."
"Zhongyuan?" Qu Tong remembered that Zhongyuan Company was not on the capital planet. "Didn't Your Highness return yesterday again?"
"The company's planetary shield underwent a technical upgrade recently, and His Highness went to inspect the procedures." After saying this, Butler Chi looked at Qu Tong and said, "Madam, you should come back to stay more often when you have time. His Highness rarely comes back when you're not home."
Steward Chi practically said that without a sweet and gentle wife, His Highness wouldn't even bother going home.
"Okay, I understand." Qu Tong nodded thoughtfully.
Si Yuting is always so busy, no wonder he asks about her whereabouts. He probably wants to find time to come back and spend time with her.
Qu Tong turned on her personal terminal and sent Si Yuting a message: "Good morning, husband." Receiving no reply, Qu Tong went upstairs.
After showering and changing clothes, when she turned on her personal terminal, Si Yuting's message was at the top of her chat list: "[Didn't you rest last night? I had Jiang Zhou prescribe some herbal tea to relieve fatigue; it should help. I'll have Xuan Ping pick it up from the military hospital later.]"
ha?
He truly deserves to be called a dedicated and hardworking general.
Other husbands would say: "Baby, you must be exhausted from last night. Don't go to class today, just stay home and rest. I've already asked for leave for you."
Only her prince was worried that she would fall asleep during class.
Qu Tong pressed the voice message button to reply: "Thank you so much, my dear husband."
Si Yuting seemed oblivious to the sarcasm in Qu Tong's words. "Yeah, I'll pick you up after class this afternoon."
Qu Tong replied with an overwhelmed expression and went to school.
*
Qu Tong attends a pharmacy class in the morning and a mecha class in the mecha department in the afternoon.
As expected of Jiang Zhou, an outstanding graduate of the pharmacy department and a top medical school PhD, the invigorating tea he prescribed for her was incredibly effective, and she's still full of energy.
Qu Tong casually pulled out a book from her spatial storage and sat down to read it under the shade of a tree.
Coach Han would occasionally guide her in practice, but most of the time he would let her do things on her own.
After all, the Flying Yuan Mecha hadn't officially entered the school yet, so Han Song didn't have much to teach her.
Meanwhile, Fei Wenxing, Cheng Yao, and their friends were busy dealing with the classmates who were lining up to spar with them.
Since Qu Tong became famous in one battle, many students have wanted to spar with Qu Tong's Flying Yuan Mecha.
This matter was then taken over by Fei Wenxing and his team.
They claimed, "If you want to spar with our captain, you have to beat us first. Not just any trash deserves our captain's personal attention."
"We" doesn't refer to just one person, but to a group of four including Xu An; it's a series of challenges.
It's easy to imagine that they couldn't even get past Xu An, let alone have a chance to spar with Qu Tong.
After the class, the main players, Fei Wenxing and Cheng Yao, were drenched in sweat.
Cheng Yao rubbed his sore shoulders from exhaustion of mental energy and casually found a spot to sit down on the ground.
Song Ke walked over and stepped in between: "Go sit somewhere to the side, don't let the smell bother Qu Tong."
"Sister Tong would never dislike me." Cheng Yao said, but his body obediently moved away, and he didn't forget to lift up his clothes and smell them.
Fei Wenxing casually sat down next to Cheng Yao and began his familiar line: "Have you heard?"
After receiving a few eye rolls, Fei Wenxing cleared his throat and began his gossip spree.
"A major incident has occurred at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences!"
