Chapter 35: Why Did You Smash My Meal?
In a corner of the Meizi Tavern in Qingsong City, a table was filled with a feast.
Fish-flavored shredded pork, braised lion’s head meatballs, spicy chicken wings…
Holding a pair of chopsticks, the raggedly dressed youth swallowed his saliva repeatedly.
Beside them, the waiter looked at the silver in his hand with a complex expression.
Who could have thought that a beggar dressed in rags and smelling foul could order so much food?
Lu Jianjia offered a bright, sunshiny smile and picked up a lion’s head meatball, placing it in Gu Shiyi’s bowl.
“Eat up! My treat, eat until you’re full!”
As she spoke, she patted her full chest with a triumphant look.
Gu Shiyi stared blankly at Lu Jianjia.
“What is it?”
“I never realized before that you were… so pretty. Like a young lady from a wealthy family.”
Lu Jianjia’s pretty face flushed slightly red. But as she looked down at the food, the sweetness in her heart instantly vanished.
“You’re only praising me because I’m treating you, aren’t you? Besides, I am a lady from a wealthy family.”
Gu Shiyi picked up the meatball with his chopsticks, opened his mouth, but then set it down with a sigh.
“What’s wrong now?”
“If only Nie Nie were here. She hasn’t eaten meat in a long time.”
Lu Jianjia twitched her lips.
She knew that Nie Nie was his family.
But she was the one paying for the meal right now, wasn’t she? Why was he still dwelling on someone else?
