6. Did she become a girl that rivals in love covet?
Not greedy, not arrogant.
What a girl with such high upbringing.
There’s no way around it; it’s mainly to show off her qualities in front of her rival… Simply put, she can’t let her rival look down on her, you know?
In contrast to the table of her rival Xia Changyu,
‘Smack, smack!’
‘Slurp~’
‘Sizzle, slurp~~’
Xia Changyu was already sitting upright.
If it weren’t for the sake of his new girlfriend, he would have already found a corner to hide in.
He kindly reminded, “You, you all should eat slower.” No one is competing with you!
Moreover, there are sixteen dishes!
Xia Changyu wonders if they can finish.
The slightly chubby girl is tearing into a whole roasted pig, and not only are her hands covered in grease, but oil is nearly dripping from her face.
Yang Yueping was determinedly attacking the crab claws with her teeth.
Xia Changyu was thinking whether to tell her that she could actually ask the waiter for a tool to crack the crab claws?
“Changyu, I—”
Gu Xiaoxue was also a bit dumbfounded.
But it was inappropriate to kick Yang Yueping and the others out openly; she was really getting angry.
Xia Changyu took a deep breath.
And gave Gu Xiaoxue an understanding look that said ‘everything’s fine.’
But, could you really understand?
Why should other diners understand you?
Everyone is here to dine; why should they put up with you guys?
One table next to them couldn’t stand it anymore and slammed the table, saying, “I’m leaving, what a downer.”
In the quiet, high-class restaurant.
Suddenly a group of chattering people came in, eating with no decorum which was indeed irritating, just like when everyone was quietly eating, and suddenly a disruptive child started yelling—annoying, right?
And they gave Xia Changyu no good looks.
Who the hell are you!
A rich second generation showing off in front of girls?
What does that have to do with me? When passing by Xia Changyu, he even shook his head deliberately, making a mocking ‘tch, tch, tch’ sound.
Xia Changyu: “I’m gonna die.”
This was a blatant mockery!
Thinking of his own background and the upbringing he received growing up.
When had Xia Changyu ever been subjected to such ridicule?
He could tolerate Gu Xiaoxue’s roommates, but he just couldn’t endure the strange gazes from others, especially that ‘tch, tch, tch’ sound, which made him squirm.
“But they are Xiaoxue’s roommates; isn’t it for Xiaoxue’s sake?”
Xia Changyu thought that as long as he was doing it for Gu Xiaoxue, he could endure the darkness.
If he hadn’t seen the cluster of light diagonally opposite, that girl who looked exceedingly sweet and had such high dining etiquette?
Lin Yibai was first complimented by the restaurant manager: “Miss, you are simply wonderful, but our restaurant is not stingy. Since you don’t want us to spend too much, I’ll take the liberty… to give you a permanent 50% off membership card!”
A permanent 50% off membership card, a loss?
Only a fool would say it’s a loss.
It can only be said that they would earn a little less, and if the diners every day were girls like Lin Yibai with such high standards, the manager and the owner would be dreaming of waking up with joy, considering that the restaurant’s class could be raised.
Immediately followed were the patrons’ praises,
“What a surprisingly good girl. I thought she would order everything on the menu, but she only ordered what she liked. Just this alone is something very few can achieve.”
“If it were me, I’d just order the expensive ones, not the ones that are right.”
“That’s called upbringing.”
“Meanwhile, some people at other tables, tch!”
Xia Changyu’s face turned red; it was obvious the patrons were very displeased with the noise his table was making.
He suddenly wanted to escape this place.
Or at least, just get away from this table.
Looking at Lin Yibai’s table and watching her eat delicately and take small bites.
Then looking back at Gu Xiaoxue’s roommates.
Ah, can I change tables to eat, please?
If… Xia Changyu thought, if the person dining with him now were that girl sitting diagonally, it would definitely be quite a proud thing, right?
Lin Yibai was still working hard to eat.
She had no idea that the rival she had been envying would actually want to dine at her table? And would think it would be a very proud thing?
Moreover, she was somewhat out of breath from eating, and she patted her chest and sighed, “What’s going on? Why is eating so tiring after becoming a girl?” But to others, her actions appeared cute.
Forget it, I won’t eat.
The more I eat, the more tired I get; something’s off.
This little gesture of Lin Yibai’s naturally caught Xia Changyu’s attention.
He felt as if something poked him.
And thought that the girl was quite cute!
Looking back at Gu Xiaoxue and her roommates, Xia Changyu’s face fell: “Sigh, never mind, never mind… Just consider it me begging you all, hurry up and finish eating so I can go settle the bill, okay?”
In the arduous torment.
The table was a mess, and it was proven that sixteen dishes were truly too much to finish.
Why did they order so many?
Just to waste?
Many of them were picked at and then left untouched.
Xia Changyu took a deep breath, comforting himself: “Alright! Good things are finally coming to an end.”
At this moment, the waiter finally approached.
And was holding a transparent edible bag, clearly prepared.
Pointing at the leftover food on the table, he asked, “Hello, sir, do you need us to help pack this up?”
What, pack up?
Xia Changyu hadn’t thought about such a thing!
But the leftovers on the table were indeed too much; even he felt it was a bit wasteful. It was absolutely impossible to eat their leftovers.
So the best course of action now.
Was probably for Gu Xiaoxue’s roommates to suggest packing it up themselves.
Thus, Xia Changyu said, “Look at their opinions.”
Throwing the question to Gu Xiaoxue’s roommates, Yang Yueping and the others exchanged glances.
They all thought, in front of a rich second generation.
How could they do something so embarrassing as packing leftovers?
So they all shook their heads.
Even to show determination, Yang Yueping picked up the leftover trash on the table and dumped it into the barely touched food, and smartly said, “I’m doing this so when they recycle the food, they can scoop it back out for other guests to eat.”
Xia Changyu:……
Waiter:……
Especially the waiter; she felt there was something to clarify.
But she felt it wasn’t necessary.
Explaining to them would only ruin her mood.
Just then, not far away, Lin Yibai called out: “Waiter, can you help me pack this up, please?”
“Hey, coming!”
The waiter happily responded and went to help Lin Yibai pack up the leftovers.
Gu Xiaoxue and her rival were leaving.
Naturally, Lin Yibai would follow them.
And in her heart, she was thinking of her brothers; besides the roast goose and grilled pork belly she ordered for her brothers, she was trying to only pick from one side for herself.
What, do the brothers care if there’s saliva on it?
Shut up, even if they complain, she would pry open their mouths and pour it all down.
“Miss, you’ve really done a great job packing, eating half and half.” The waiter praised.
“I want to take it back for my brothers… I mean share with my friends; I’m afraid they’d complain about saliva.”
“What you’ve eaten is very clean.” Such a striking dialogue.
When settling the bill, Xia Changyu specially looked at what Lin Yibai had packed.
He was wondering just how clean her leftovers were.
