Because the hot performance of the TV series “Passion and Confusion” happened to be in the week before Luo Xiao’s graduation, he not only successfully passed the graduation exam, but also unexpectedly won the title of Outstanding Graduate and a bonus. Although the bonus amount was only his pocket money, the meaning was obvious.
“Good boy, you’ve made it!” Second brother Yan Liben immediately reached out and hooked Luo Xiao’s neck and vigorously rubbed his head with his hand, “I didn’t expect the TV series you shot this time to be so successful! Did you make a lot of money? We said that whoever got the best results would treat everyone to dinner!”
“Mmm, I can vouch for that.” Third brother Qiu Lu pushed up his clearly thicker black-rimmed old-fashioned glasses, “Little Four, you know that Third Brother has never told a lie.”
“…Third Brother, you didn’t even give me a chance to speak. When did I say you were telling lies?” Luo Xiao twitched his mouth helplessly and looked at them.
The eldest brother Ke Zheng, who was standing aside, looked at Luo Xiao whose hair had been rubbed into a bird’s nest by second brother, and kindly stepped forward to rescue him from the “evil claws.” But when he saw the fourth brother’s silly look again, he couldn’t help but rub his head too and inwardly sighed: Well, as expected, he is just like Ah Dai1Dai means fool.
The author here wants to explain that “Ah Dai” refers to the purebred Samoyed dog that the eldest brother keeps. Ah, should we be grateful that Luo Xiao didn’t have the ability to read minds? Hehe!
Luo Xiao protected his head and escaped from his claws, looking at him accusingly: Didn’t you say you were going to rescue me? This is just jumping from one fire pit to another!
Ke Zheng embarrassedly touched his nose, his eyes avoiding Luo Xiao’s eyes. Well, it’s just that he couldn’t help feeling too similar and couldn’t resist…
Luo Xiao tidied up his bird’s nest hair and then said to the three of them, “Alright, since we said so, then today I’ll treat you. Do you want to go eat?”
“Where?” Yan Liben’s eyes rolled, and after exchanging a glance with Qiu Lu, the two of them understood each other’s meaning. “Let’s go to Qingdiao.”
“Qingdiao?” Luo Xiao’s voice raised a little, and he asked again to confirm, “Second Brother, I didn’t hear wrong, right? Are you sure you want to go to Qingdiao?”
Yan Liben crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows, “What’s wrong, do you think the prices there are too high and don’t want to take us there?”
Luo Xiao simply shook his head and said with a smile, “How could that be? Since you’ve decided to go there, then let’s just head out!”
“Well, Little Four, let’s wait a bit.” Ke Zheng suddenly spoke up, then opened his mouth and grinned at them, “Hehe, you know what I mean.”
“Tsk! Having a girlfriend is nothing special. You just know how to show off your love!” Yan Liben rolled his eyes directly at him. Hmph, I won’t play with the boss in the future!
“Hehe!” The elder brother scratched the back of his head in a simple-minded manner.
After everyone was gathered, the five of them took a taxi to the location of Qingdiao. As soon as they got off the car, looking at the exquisite and delicate decoration with a strong bourgeois atmosphere in front of them, and the “Qingdiao” written in cursive on the sign, everyone’s eyes showed a hint of curiosity. Of course, except for one person.
Yan Liben waved his hand grandly, “Let’s go, Little Four is treating us today. We’ll eat well and squeeze him of all his money!”
Seeing the “aggressive” group pushing open the door and walking in, Luo Xiao’s eyes showed a trace of mischievousness: Hehe, if it was another restaurant, he might bleed money, but here~
“Excuse me, how many people is the total?” A handsome waiter in a black tuxedo stepped forward and quietly asked the second brother who was leading the group.
Yan Liben curiously inspected the decoration in the store and casually replied, “We have five people.”
“Okay, everyone, please follow me this way.” The waiter gestured to the side and then led the group to a small private room in front. “Please have a seat inside and take a look at the menu. We will bring the dishes to you as soon as possible.”
“Mm, okay, got it.” The second brother nodded and took the lead in entering the private room, with the others following closely behind.
Luo Xiao naturally walked in last. As he passed by the waiter, he gave him a glance that stopped the words about to come out of the waiter’s mouth. After seeing the waiter’s understanding nod, he walked into the room feeling satisfied.
“Tsk tsk, this place is really different. The facade is already very distinctive, and the interior is even more stylish!” Yan Liben carefully inspected the decor of the private room and exclaimed in admiration.
As an old scholar, Qiu Lu also nodded in agreement. No wonder, this restaurant had only been open for a short time, but it was already famous among the young people. Almost everyone who had been here praised it highly! Speaking of which, not only was the environment well-decorated, the service was also complete and thoughtful. But the most unforgettable thing for the guests who had been here was the delicious dishes! This time, they must have a good meal!
“Come on, Second Brother, didn’t you say you were going to eat here? Why haven’t you ordered anything yet?” Luo Xiao saw that they were all just looking around and admiring the decor without placing any orders, so he immediately called out to them.
Xiao Mei opened the menu that Luo Xiao had handed over. After seeing the prices of each dish, she couldn’t help but nudge her boyfriend beside her and whispered, “Ah Zheng, the dishes here are so expensive. Do we really have to eat here?”
Ke Zheng gently stroked her long smooth black hair and explained softly, “It’s fine, this time it’s a free meal.” He then gestured towards Luo Xiao’s direction, indicating that he was the ‘sucked person’ paying for it.
Xiao Mei followed his gaze and then remembered the information she heard at school, so she reacted accordingly, “But that’s their hard-earned money, isn’t it bad for us to do this?”
After hearing their conversation, Luo Xiao who was standing at the side smiled and said to Xiao Mei, “Sister-in-law, don’t worry. The truth is, this is the last group meal of our dormitory before we all graduate. After everyone graduates, who knows when we’ll be able to gather together again. So, please enjoy yourselves, I’m paying for this meal!”
“That’s right, sister-in-law, you don’t have to worry about Little Four. The only thing we need to do today is to wholeheartedly enjoy the delicious food!” Yan Liben opened the exquisitely crafted menu, looked at the delectable dishes on it one by one, and after struggling for a while, finally decided on what he wanted to order. The others quickly made their choices as well.
After placing the order with the waiter, the five of them sat down and began to chat in a relaxed mood.
By the way, Luo Xiao, are you sure you’re paying for this meal? As one of the owners behind this restaurant, isn’t it just moving money from your left hand to your right if you pay the bill? Isn’t that a bit amusing?
After three knocks on the door, the waiter outside was allowed to enter and brought out their dishes one by one. Facing the table of visually appealing and fragrant food, the group couldn’t help but swallow hard and take a bite: Mm! The taste is really delicious!
After a satisfying meal, the five of them sat for a while longer before getting up to leave to the private room. However, to their surprise, they had barely taken a few steps when they were forced to stop.
Watching the two people fighting in front of them, they silently had black lines. Especially Luo Xiao, seeing these two people fighting was one thing, but they actually crashed here and there, breaking a lot of things. By a rough estimate, it was nearly hundreds of thousands!
As a result, Luo Xiao’s disgust for the two people still fighting increased. As he stared carefully at the two people, oh my, it would be fine if he didn’t look, but once he looked, he couldn’t believe it. It was actually him!
“Little Four, what’s wrong with you?” Qiu Lu was standing next to him turned his head and immediately noticed the obvious change in his expression. He asked anxiously, “Could it be that one of these two people is someone you know?”
Luo Xiao immediately shook his head, “How could that be, Third Brother? You guessed wrong.”
“But you…” Qiu Lu looked at him with hesitation, his eyes clearly disbelieving.
Luo Xiao touched his nose and explained, “Third Brother, you know that I’m usually very interested in porcelain and jade and other things. The things that were just broken by these two people, I’ve seen them before. They are all genuine and worth hundreds of thousands!”
“What? Really?” Qiu Lu let out a small exclamation, “Are you sure you didn’t see it wrong?”
“Yes.” These were all items he bought with his own money, how could he not know that they were authentic?
Hearing this, Qiu Lu’s face immediately showed a pained expression and his eyes were also full of regret.
“Stop!” The quickly arrived restaurant manager directed the burly security guards to step forward and separate the two. “You two, we don’t welcome people who fight and brawl here. Please compensate for all the damage done here, and please don’t come back here again. We don’t welcome guests like you.”
“Hmph! Let me go!” One of the men forcefully tried to break free from the security guard’s restraint, but failed. Seeing the growing number of onlookers, his face turned red with anger as he glared at the restaurant manager and shouted loudly, “Who are you! How dare you talk to me like that, do you know who my father is? Do you believe that my father can kill you with a snap of his fingers?”
“Yes, I believe so.” The restaurant manager, although speaking respectfully, had no trace of respect in his eyes. “Security, call his father and have him come pick him up.”
“Yes, manager.” One of the security guards nodded, “By the way, what about this other person?”
The restaurant manager glanced at the other brawler who was bleeding and beaten, and a flash of guilt briefly passed through his eyes. Sigh, how could he be so unlucky to mess with that guy?
“Let’s go.” Luo Xiao was the first to walk out. He symbolically went through the payment procedures at the service desk. As he passed the restaurant manager, he gave the other man several meaningful glances, then turned and left.
Sitting in the car on the way back, Luo Xiao’s mind kept flashing back to that person’s figure…
