"ah?"
Chen Lu stared at her blankly, looking puzzled.
What are you saying? I don't understand.
He then looked at Liang Zhirou and asked, "Did you understand?"
The girl shook her head again; she really didn't understand.
Lin Miaomiao was speechless. She had a strange feeling that the two of them were on the same side. She could only roll her eyes at Chen Lu and push the menu in front of Liang Zhirou.
"Go ahead and order as much as you like, after all, you've helped me a lot."
Actually, Chen Lu, who has always seemed carefree and nonchalant, has been the one who has helped the drama club the most, but Lin Miaomiao would never admit it.
She'd rather die than see Chen Lu's smug expression.
As she spoke, she took Liang Zhirou's arm again, "Quick, see what you want to eat! Chen Lu and I will do whatever you say today."
Seeing Liang Zhirou studying the menu with some nervousness, Chen Lu found it amusing. Although this simpleton worked part-time at a hot pot restaurant, she certainly wouldn't spend her own money on a meal.
He wasn't in a hurry. He took out his phone and casually scrolled through it a couple of times, letting Liang Zhirou take her time to look at it.
Suddenly, he noticed a small red dot with 99+ appearing next to the QQ icon on his desktop, and he was startled.
What is that?
As someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder who can't stand even a single red dot on the screen, he simply couldn't tolerate it.
Out of curiosity, I clicked on it and found that without exception, all of these messages were friend requests...
Many people even started swearing while verifying their information.
Goodness, several pages of friend requests, all because Mo Yuqing publicly apologized to him and then scolded him.
Chen Lu couldn't help but think that this year's freshmen were so stupid; even last year's juniors weren't this aggressive.
A bunch of immature lemon-lovers are doing things that only elementary school students would do.
He slightly curled the corners of his mouth and put the phone back on the table.
You only find it amusing when someone trying to provoke you is so incompetent.
At this point, Lin Miaomiao couldn't wait any longer and asked, "Have you ordered yet? Just order whatever you want to eat."
Liang Zhirou interlaced her fingers, looking a little hesitant. "I... I was thinking about what you and Chen Lu like to eat..."
Chen Lu poked Liang Zhirou's cheek with the tip of his chopsticks and chuckled:
"I like to eat what you like to eat. Hurry up, I'm starving."
"oh......"
After a while, the silly guy finally finished ordering.
Whether it's Chen Lu or Lin Miaomiao, she'll remember anything they casually mention about their favorite foods during a conversation.
Baby bok choy and tripe are Chen Lu's favorite foods, while lettuce and dried bean curd are Lin Miaomiao's favorite foods.
The only thing I haven't considered is what I like.
"It seems like there are only hot pot restaurants everywhere now, and it's hard to find any other restaurants." Lin Miaomiao complained after only a few bites.
"Now it's either hot pot, barbecue, or hot pot buffet and barbecue buffet."
Liang Zhirou nodded; she also found it strange.
When I was a child, I often saw restaurants serving various cuisines when I came to Hangzhou, but now they are rare.
When the naive girl looked at Chen Lu, he slowly said with a hint of helplessness, "Because the cost of opening a hot pot restaurant is much lower than that of a vegetable restaurant."
"How bad could it be?" Lin Miaomiao said foolishly again.
Chen Lu was still looking at Liang Zhirou, patiently explaining, "Traditional Chinese restaurants each have their own style. Even if you are the owner, you still have to consider the chef's mood. If he quits, the style of your restaurant's dishes will change suddenly, and you might lose a lot of customers."
Furthermore, the training period and salary of chefs are also issues.
"Hot pot restaurants are different. Anyone can open one as long as they have the broth base. They don't need chefs, and a lot of energy can be used to train the service staff. That's how Haidilao became so popular."
"If that's the case, then Chinese restaurants are about to disappear." Lin Miaomiao agreed with Chen Lu's statement in her heart, but couldn't help but argue back.
Chen Lu shrugged. "It's not that bad. If you're treating a client to dinner, you can't exactly treat them at a hot pot restaurant, can you?"
After listening to Chen Lu's long explanation, Lin Miaomiao had no choice but to give up her dream of opening a Chinese restaurant to overtake others.
I have to admit that Chen Lu is a little bit smarter than me.
A little bit.
The group chatted about this and that, showing that contemporary college students can talk about anything.
Liang Zhirou was a woman of few words. Most of the time, she secretly used serving chopsticks to put meat and vegetables on Chen Lu's plate, and occasionally she would put some on Lin Miaomiao's plate as well.
Chen Lu felt that the small bowl in front of him had never been clean.
No matter how fast you eat, there will always be new food inside.
Lin Miaomiao watched silently, thinking that she would find a boyfriend sooner or later.
Before long, Chen Lu couldn't take it anymore.
"How much did you eat? I saw you were busy putting food on my plate." He took out an unused chopstick from the side and kept poking Liang Zhirou's cheek.
This time, Chen Lu used a little more force, and the girl couldn't help but close her eye on that side, but even so, she didn't know to dodge.
“I’ve eaten a lot,” Liang Zhirou argued.
Chen Lu didn't believe her and continued to bully her. The girl's cheeks were soft and her skin was nice; it was really fun to poke her.
They look so tender and fresh; I wonder what it would feel like to kiss them.
"Your face has finally gotten a little fuller."
It seems my feeding plan was a success.
He was initially pleasantly surprised, but quickly frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Is your bangs longer than that night?"
