"The seventh floor?" Jack’s head sward with black lines upon hearing Li ngjie’s suggestion, and he almost toppled over. His family’s financial situation wasn’t bad, but the seventh floor was typically reserved for entertaining distinguished guests from outside the school. There were hardly any students who could afford to dine there.
Looking at Jack with a grin, Li ngjie said, "What’s wrong, Jack? Is it too pricey for you? If that’s the case, you guys go ahead and eat. Xue Jiu and I will just go up to the seventh floor."
"Oh, then you two go ahead," Leng Xuan blurted out before Jack could speak, then he added, "We’ll be just fine eating here on the first floor." With that, he took a seat at a table in the hall.
Gracefully, Su Yurou took a seat next to Leng Xuan, followed by Zhao Xiaotian.
Jack gave a sheepish smile and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had been fantasizing about the prestige of dining with the three school beauties, the thought of the exorbitant nu on the seventh floor made him nervous. After all, losing face is a small matter, but not being able to pay the bill is a big concern. He didn’t dare to look at Li ngjie and Ling Xuejiu’s expressions and quickly sat down as well.
Li ngjie’s cheeks turned red as she said, "Hmm~! Xue Jiu and I haven’t eaten on the first floor before, so I wonder how it tastes. Xue Jiu, shall we also try eating on the first floor?"
Leng Xuan couldn’t help but find amusent in the situation. He knew Li ngjie’s personality all too well. Since the two young ladies wouldn’t dare to expose their relationship with him in public, he had no qualms and chuckled, "Aren’t you afraid you’ll vomit after eating it?"
Li ngjie felt her teeth itch with annoyance. What was this Cold Bodyguard driving at? Always against her, right? She figured he must not want her and Xue Jiu to disturb his ti with Su Yurou, but the more he acted this way, the less she wanted to comply. So she retorted, "How would I know if I’ll vomit if I don’t eat it? Right, Xue Jiu?"
Ling Xuejiu, whose face wasn’t as thick as Li ngjie’s, tugged at her, saying, "Let it be, let them have their al. Who cares about them treating us? We’ll eat on our own."
Reluctantly, Li ngjie said, "Xue Jiu..."
"Let’s go!" Ling Xuejiu didn’t care about the details and pulled Li ngjie away. Monts later, the two girls entered the elevator and left.
A waiter brought a nu to Leng Xuan’s table where Jack took it and then handed it to Leng Xuan, saying, "Boss, you order." A look of regret was clearly etched on the boy’s face. If only he had enough money, he would have been willing to pay any price to treat Ling Xuejiu and Li ngjie to the seventh floor. After all, managing to invite the three school beauties to a al at the sa ti was undoubtedly a rare feat in the school.
Leng Xuan smiled and passed the nu to Su Yurou, saying, "Yurou, what do you like? You pick."
"Brother Leng Xuan, whatever you choose is good with ," Su Yurou replied with a sweet smile, the prominent school beauty acting surprisingly docile like a little kitten in Leng Xuan’s presence, which was honestly a bit hard to believe.
Zhao Xiaotian and Jack exchanged glances, feeling undeniable envy. Brother Leng Xuan, she said it with such affection; if they could also be called Brother Jack or Brother Xiaotian just once, they would probably die happy.
With no other option, Leng Xuan took the nu without further ado and casually ordered four dishes and a soup, all of which were on the cheaper side.
