After Pei Rongzheng and the others left, Shi Miao returned to her room.
She put on her coat, picked up the phone she had just left on the bed, glanced at the location Cheng Si had sent, her lips twitched slightly, and she even doubted whether she had seen it wrong.
Are you sure you want to eat this?
Cheng Si replied almost instantly: "Yeah, it's delicious, I love it."
Shi Miao's brow twitched, and she really wanted to retort: Have you never eaten anything good before?
Before she could reply, Cheng Si sent another message: [Do you need me to pick you up?]
Shi Miao pressed her temples, seemingly hesitant about whether to invite Ji Yanchen along.
However, she didn't hesitate for long. Her slender, white fingers tapped the phone screen as she replied: "No need."
She turned off her phone, put it in her pocket, and then left the room.
As soon as Shi Miao closed the door and stepped into the corridor outside, she saw Huo Yudong walking towards her from afar.
As he approached, he asked with concern, "Junior Sister, are you alright?"
Shi Miao nodded slightly, her clear and cool voice devoid of any impurities, "It's nothing, thank you for your concern, senior brother."
Huo Yudong looked at her, a hint of struggle flashing in his eyes, "Um... Junior Sister, are you going out?"
Shi Miao habitually raised her hand to press down the brim of her hat, looking casual yet somewhat lazy. "Yes."
Huo Yudong clenched his fists at his sides and then relaxed them. In the end, he was too ashamed to ask about Qin Mingyue's situation. He smiled and said, "Alright, I won't bother you anymore. Be careful."
"Okay, sure." Shi Miao greeted him and then walked towards the elevator.
A moment later, the elevator doors opened, and Shi Miao stepped inside, pressing the button for the top floor.
Upon reaching the top floor, Shi Miao stepped out of the elevator with her hands in her pockets and headed towards the presidential suite where Ji Yanchen was.
She stopped at the door and knocked twice.
Ji Yanchen opened the door, saw the girl standing there, raised an eyebrow slightly in surprise, and stepped aside to let her in. "Why did you come up?"
Shi Miao stood still, her dark eyes pure. "Want to go out for dinner together?"
She didn't intend to go in; she just wanted to ask him something. After a pause, she explained, "Regarding Qin Chu, I owe Cheng Si a meal. Well, the place he chose might not be to your liking."
Ji Yanchen raised an eyebrow. "What do you want to eat?"
Just as Shi Miao was about to speak, a familiar voice came from beside him, "Brother Chen, who is it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Sizhou walked out from inside.
After recognizing the person, he asked with a smile, "Sister Shi, why are you standing at the door and not coming in?"
"Let's leave right away, we won't go in." Shi Miao glanced at Xie Sizhou, then turned her gaze to the man in front of her. "Are you going?"
Ji Yanchen nodded, "Go."
"No, where are you going?" Xie Sizhou asked with a curious look.
Shi Miao looked up at him and said succinctly, "Let's go out to eat."
"I haven't eaten yet either, I'll go with you guys!" Xie Sizhou said as he walked out.
Shi Miao raised an eyebrow, thought for a moment, and didn't refuse. Anyway, it was her treat, so one more person wouldn't matter. Besides, Cheng Si hadn't said that she could only go alone.
"Sure, it's on me."
"Wow, Sister Shi, you're treating? Then I'm definitely going to pick the most expensive dishes!"
A hint of embarrassment flashed in Shi Miao's eyes. "Okay."
Xie Sizhou, naturally oblivious to her expression, cheerfully pulled his phone out of his pocket.
Just as he was about to call Qin Xiao to ask if he was going, his hand paused, and the smile on his lips froze.
Thinking that Qin Xiao probably wasn't in the mood to go out for dinner, Xie Sizhou simply gave up on the idea.
He put away his phone, looked up at the two of them, and said, "Let's go, let's go."
......
Twenty minutes later, the three arrived at the place Cheng Si had chosen for dinner.
Xie Sizhou looked at the red sign in front of him, coughed lightly, and said quietly, "Um... Sister Shi, have we come to the wrong place?"
Shi Miao touched the tip of his nose. "That's right, it's KFC."
Ji Yanchen's eyelids twitched almost imperceptibly, clearly not expecting to eat here either.
Xie Sizhou rubbed his hair, just about to suggest we go somewhere else and he'd treat, when a rather speechless voice came from beside him, "Hey sis, why are you bringing your whole family?"
The three of them turned their heads to the side in unison and saw Cheng Si, wearing sunglasses, slowly walking over.
Shi Miao raised her delicate eyebrows slightly and said slowly, "You didn't say it wasn't allowed."
Cheng Si's gaze lingered on Ji Yanchen's face for a second, silently labeling him with three words: pretty boy.
"What are you standing there for? Come in."
After he finished speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the store entrance.
Xie Sizhou watched Cheng Si's retreating figure and said in a low voice, "Shi-meimei, is this your friend? Why is he wearing sunglasses so late at night?"
Shi Miao glanced at him lazily and explained, "We're friends, I guess. This meal was for him, and the KFC was his request."
Xie Sizhou looked hurt and said with great distress, "So Chen-ge and I were just incidental?"
Shi Miao glanced at the composed man beside her and added seriously, "To be precise, you were just an afterthought."
Xie Sizhou: "......"
Shi Miao looked at him, her upturned eyes sparkling, her voice tinged with laughter, "Alright, go in, stop acting."
......
After the three of them went inside, Cheng Si was ordering at the front desk.
Seemingly hearing them push the door open and come in, she turned her head to look behind her, automatically ignoring Ji Yanchen and Xie Sizhou, and said to Shi Miao, "Take a look and see what you want to eat."
Shi Miao glanced around casually, too lazy to spend time choosing, and directly told the waiter, "Four family buckets."
She turned her head to look at the other three, "Is there anything else you'd like to eat?"
Upon hearing this, all three said they didn't have any more money. Seeing this, Shi Miao took out her phone from her pocket, ready to pay, but Cheng Si raised his hand to stop her, saying, "I'll pay."
Shi Miao was slightly taken aback. "Didn't you say I was treating?"
Cheng Si chuckled softly, a hint of doting flashing in his deep eyes. "I was just kidding. Go find a seat."
Ji Yanchen's eyes darkened, as if he had noticed Cheng Si's unusual attitude towards Shi Miao.
Shi Miao frowned, clearly not wanting to owe anyone a favor, "I'll do it."
Upon seeing this, Cheng Si snatched her phone away and then pointed his own phone screen at the waiter, saying, "Scan mine."
The waiters had never seen such a handsome group of men and beautiful women before, especially three handsome men with different styles and strikingly beautiful women. They were all stunned for a moment, and when they came to their senses, they quickly said, "Ah, okay."
A hint of helplessness flashed across Shi Miao's eyes as she took her phone back from Cheng Si. "Alright, I'll treat you next time."
