Ma Yunfei quickly pushed Ye Ya away and reminded her, "Girl, this is the city. Men and women shouldn't hug and embrace like this. People will laugh if they see us."
"Brother, I haven't seen you in so long, I've missed you so much! I want to hug you, and nobody can stop me."
Ma Yunfei said helplessly, "Alright, are you hungry? I'll take you to a restaurant to eat."
Ye Ya pouted and said, "I only ate two sesame seed cakes in the morning before getting on the bus. At noon, the bus stopped in a small town. I was afraid that my luggage would be stolen, so I didn't dare to get off the bus to eat. My stomach has been growling for a long time."
Ma Yunfei scolded, "Ya, why are you carrying so much luggage? There are hotels in the city with ready-made blankets and pillows."
"Hmph! I've heard that the hotels in the city are filthy. You sleep on the same blankets and sheets as everyone else, and they're full of germs."
"Hehe... what you're talking about is a small hotel. A proper hotel changes the sheets and blankets every day, and it's as clean as you can get."
Ma Yunfei picked up a bedding roll, slung it over his shoulder, and led Ye Ya out of the station and into a luxurious hotel.
Wild Girl said timidly, "Brother, such a high-class restaurant must be very expensive. Let's go to another one."
"Wild girl, I'm going to take you to a high-class restaurant to broaden your horizons. The dishes here are beyond your wildest imagination, you can't even dream of them."
Ma Yunfei and Ye Ya carried large bags and small packages into the restaurant, leaving the waiters dumbfounded.
Ma Yunfei said to the waiter, "Give me a private room."
The waiter looked at Ye Ya with disdain and reminded her, "There is a minimum charge for private rooms."
Wild Girl asked, puzzled, "What is a minimum spending requirement?"
The waiter looked at Ye Ya with disdain and replied, "Once you enter the private room, you have to buy a thousand yuan worth of dishes."
Wild Girl said angrily, "Isn't this highway robbery? I can spend as much money as I want, do you think you can force me?"
Ma Yunfei quickly stopped Ye Ya and explained in a low voice, "This is the rule of the grand hotel."
"What kind of forced rules are these? I'm not going to stand for this anymore. Let's go, I'm not eating at this thief's restaurant."
Ma Yunfei said to the waiter, "Quickly take us to the private room."
Ma Yunfei, holding Ye Ya's hand, followed the waiter into a private room.
The private room was decorated very luxuriously; the chandelier overhead alone made it look like a palace.
Seeing Ma Yunfei's imposing presence, the waiter knew he had encountered a VIP customer and politely said, "Sir, please have a seat."
Seeing that the waiter was ignoring Ye Ya, Ma Yunfei said angrily, "This is my sister. It's her first time in the city. You have to be understanding."
Upon learning that Ye Ya was Ma Yunfei's sister, the waiter became more attentive and quickly said, "Miss, please have a seat."
Wild Girl muttered, "I'm not a young lady."
Ma Yunfei said to the waiter, "Bring up all of your restaurant's signature dishes."
The waiter paused for a moment, then explained, "Sir, our restaurant has eight signature dishes. If we serve them all, it would cost over two thousand yuan."
With a hearty wave of his hand, Ma Yunfei commanded, "All of you, go!"
Ye Ya quickly stopped him, saying, "Brother, it's too wasteful for us to spend over two thousand yuan on one meal. Let's go to another restaurant and get two bowls of noodles and a few steamed buns."
Ma Yunfei said to the waiter unhappily, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and bring us the food."
The waiter left.
Ye Ya stood up and said, "Brother, you're being too extravagant. Two thousand yuan is more than my food expenses for a year. My dad and I used to only spend three hundred yuan a year in the mountains."
Ma Yunfei laughed and said, "Girl, I have plenty of money. Two thousand yuan is nothing. It's not easy for you to come to the city, so you should enjoy yourself."
Ye Ya looked at Ma Yunfei sweetly and said affectionately, "Brother, as long as I can be with you, even eating coarse food and wild vegetables will taste good."
In less than half an hour, one exquisite dish after another was served.
Ye Ya was dazzled by the sight and exclaimed, "Brother, these dishes are like works of art! I don't even want to eat them!"
"Girl, hurry up and eat."
The wild girl wolfed down the food, devouring all eight dishes.
She wiped her mouth and said with satisfaction, "Brother, the food in the city is really delicious. This two thousand yuan was well spent, but it's a little painful."
After leaving the restaurant, Ma Yunfei took a taxi back to his hostel.
He booked a guest room for Ye Ya.
Ye Ya asked, "Brother, I'll stay in your guest room, don't waste your money."
Ma Yunfei explained in a low voice, "Ye Ya, if you want to stay in the same guest room as me, you have to register with your marriage certificate. Men and women without a marriage certificate are not allowed to sleep in the same room."
In the early 1990s, most hotels did not allow men and women to share a room unless they were married couples.
Wild Girl pouted and said unhappily, "City people just love to meddle. It's none of your business if they want to sleep in the same room. Humph!"
Ma Yunfei led Ye Ya into the guest room and showed her how to turn on the bath faucet and the bedside lamp.
Everything seemed strange to Ye Ya. She turned on the tap and asked in surprise, "Where does this hot water come from?"
"The restaurant has a boiler room specifically for heating hot water."
"Brother, why is this bed so springy?"
"This is a Simmons bed, and the mattress has springs inside."
"Brother, why are these lights installed so low?"
"This is a ground lamp, used to light your way when you get up at night. It shouldn't be too bright, so as not to disturb the guests' sleep."
