"Ye'er, you finally arrived, you had me worried to death!" As soon as Luo Ye got off the boat, Luo Feng rushed over to greet her, gripping his sister's hand with a face full of surprise.
Luo Ye gave her brother a stern look: "I hung up the phone and borrowed money from finance to rush here non-stop, do you think I'm Superman who can fly?"
"I was wrong, hehe... Don't be mad, Ye'er!" Luo Feng said with a placating smile, pointing to a small hotel at the foot of the mountains a hundred meters away: "Let's go over there."
Luo Ye tugged at the moving Luo Feng: "Hold on, what exactly happened? Explain everything to me clearly before we go in!"
"Ye'er... didn't you teach me to have the spirit of a man? I thought, since I'm out with them playing, I naturally shouldn't be too stingy, and my pocket money was enough..." Luo Feng said, guiltily glancing at Luo Ye, he licked his lips and continued: "We played in the sand for a while on the shore, then took a sightseeing boat to the island to tour, when we got halfway up the mountain, the 3721 troop checkpoint stopped us..."
Luo Ye impatiently cut Luo Feng off: "Focus on the main point, I'm asking about the food, you can slowly tell me about the playing part tonight!" Indeed, just looking at her brother's wilted demeanor irritated her.
"When ordering dishes, Zhuang Meili ordered the wrong thing, she mistook shark fin for glass noodles, and ordered two servings!" Indeed concise enough.
Luo Ye rolled her eyes speechlessly: "Didn't you ask her how much money she brought?"
"I didn't dare to ask." Luo Feng's voice almost caught in his throat, fortunate that Luo Ye had good hearing, she got so angry she poked Luo Feng's forehead: "Pretending to be rich and suffering for it, since she ordered wrong, she should bear the corresponding responsibility.
Well, if it was unintentional, you should also let her know the truth of the matter, do you want to be the sucker and let her think she's eating glass noodles? What if she orders it again next time? Will you play the sucker again?"
Luo Feng drew circles on the ground with his foot, not saying a word, and Luo Ye stomped her foot angrily: "What are you drawing circles for, that's an action only children and women should do!"
"Ye'er, I... I'll save my pocket money and pay you back!" Luo Feng was a bit flustered by his sister's scare.
"You... you're infuriating me, do you think I care about the money?" Luo Ye said, covering her forehead angrily: "Are you lacking common sense? I don't care what your relationship is with Zhuang Meili, but you're still a student, not earning money, she should be aware.
Do as much as you can afford, no need to pretend to be rich, and what do you understand by the spirit of a man? Is it silently rushing to pay the bill?"
"Ye'er, don't be mad anymore, I was wrong!" Luo Feng tried to appease by pulling on his sister's hand.
"Wrong, wrong, what did you get wrong? I'm not telling you to force Zhuang Meili to pay, but you should make her understand the situation, so she won't cause you this kind of trouble in the future, when you have the money and capability, then you can show off, got it?" Luo Ye suppressed the anger in her heart: "Brother, don't think I'm losing my temper at you, it's just that I'm really anxious seeing how weak you are acting!"
"I know, I know!" Luo Feng nodded repeatedly: "I know everything Ye'er does is for my own good, so the first person I turn to for help is Ye'er!"
"Hmph, who else could you ask for help? Let's go!"
Luo Feng had a flattering smile: "Yes, I can only ask Ye'er! Hey... Ye'er, why aren't you moving?" He almost bumped into his sister who had stopped suddenly.
"We're almost there, be serious, don't let others think you're scaring your sister to death! Oh, I forgot to ask, what did you tell Zhuang Meili when you came out?"
Luo Feng smiled sheepishly: "I told her Ye'er decided last minute to join, that I came out to meet Ye'er, and asked her and Liang Jing to wait there!"
"Liang Jing? How did another person get added?" Luo Ye frowned at Luo Feng.
"She is Zhuang Meili's classmate, just happened to..."
"Fine, let's go in and see!" Luo Ye interrupted Luo Feng, lifting her foot and walking towards the hotel.
Luo Feng felt somewhat perplexed by Luo Ye's sudden change, and cautiously asked: "Ye'er, I didn't mean to hide it from you… are you, mad?"
"No, let's go!" Luo Ye took a deep breath and quickened his pace. His heart uneasy, Luo Feng quickly walked in front of his sister to lead the way.
"Is this Luo Ye? Luo Feng, your sister is really beautiful!" Upon seeing the siblings, the petite and sweet Zhuang Meili was the first to stand up.
Liang Jing also stood up awkwardly: "Hello... hello!"
"Hello, please sit down!" Luo Ye glanced at the dishes on the table, a plate of clams, a plate of scallops, a plate of oysters, a plate of shredded potatoes, plus two plates of "vermicelli," all barely touched, presumably Luo Feng had seen the dishes being served and went to make a phone call to her.
"Luo Ye, this vermicelli is really tasty, knowing you were coming, we didn't touch this plate!" Zhuang Meili diligently brought a plate of shark fin in front of Luo Ye.
"Vermicelli?" Luo Ye smiled lightly: "My brother is too embarrassed to say, but what looks like vermicelli is actually shark fin. I didn't come here on a spur to hang out; I came to give you the meal money, haha..."
"Ah?" Zhuang Meili was momentarily stunned, she wanted to diet, found the food to be light, and ordered two dishes thinking to save Luo Feng some money.
"How much... how much is it?" After Zhuang Meili spoke, she swallowed nervously, and Liang Jing also stared at Luo Ye with a tense face.
"Don't look at me, I'm not sure about the pricing of this restaurant..." Luo Ye took a small bite to taste: "This small place is rare and authentic, actually natural. Brother, how much is a portion?"
Luo Feng smiled sheepishly: "158, I saw the price tag."
"That's... that expensive?" Liang Jing's hand trembled with shock, spilling the scalding tea, causing her to quickly put down the cup and blow on it.
"Here, use this to wipe, it'll feel lighter!" Luo Feng quickly pulled out a wet wipe and handed it to Liang Jing.
Luo Ye's brow furrowed unconsciously: "Where does Liang Jing work? Oh, I know you are a typist, I mean which company do you work for?"
"City Committee Printing House!" A hint of pride flashed across Liang Jing's face.
Luo Ye looked interested at Liang Jing: "Your job is good, did you find it yourself or did someone introduce you?"
"The shop is my cousin's. We're poor, and finishing high school was already exceptional. My cousin was short of people and wanted someone reliable, so he asked me to come to the print shop!"
Luo Ye nodded: "You're really lucky, what else are you responsible for besides typing?"
Seeing Luo Feng also gazing eagerly at her, Liang Jing excitedly pursed her lips and responded: "Some scattered tasks from various committees when they complete printing, I deliver them."
"Oh…" Luo Ye lowered his head and slowly sipped his tea, saying no more, while Liang Jing glanced nervously at Luo Feng, wondering if she had said something wrong.
"Luo Ye, I'm sorry, I will definitely repay the money," Zhuang Meili, with tears brimming, stood up: "I have a monthly living expense of 180 yuan, from this month on, I'll spend frugally, I will definitely pay it off in three months, okay?"
Luo Ye waved indifferently: "Sit down. Since it was unintentional, I don't blame you. I just think you should know to avoid repeating the same mistake in the future, right?"
"I'll go find that waiter, when ordering I said I was on a diet and wanted more vermicelli, and he didn't say a thing!" Zhuang Meili said, wanting to confront the waiter.
"How could this kind of small shop offer us five-star service? Sister Mei Li, sit down and eat!" Luo Ye glanced at Luo Feng, who was comforting Liang Jing with his eyes, "Bro, you eat too, the food won't taste good once it's cold."
Nuanti is especially thankful to "Luo Huayu" Qiuqiu for the PK ticket, reward, pink tickets, and a special thanks to "Charming YOYO" for the pink ticket. Special thanks to "Military Family 8688," "ROSE426211," "Yao Yao," "Lan Qingwen," "Little Yudid 381," and others' dear PK tickets. Nuanti has been very busy recently and Little Han just finished and was somewhat tired, leading to fewer updates. Seeing the PK tickets not moving forward till we were pushed off the homepage, she had no choice but to shamelessly ask for more tickets. Initially thought no one cared, which was heartbreaking, but then there was a constant stream of touching support. Nuanti thanks our dears so much, you make Nuanti feel loved, not like an annoying author no one cares about. What Nuanti can do is to strive to write more and produce good work. These days are finally almost manageable, and Nuanti will work hard to update more. Love you. With your love, Nuanti feels very blessed!
