Chapter 294: Chapter 301 Foodie

Li Yifei held only one plate in his hand, which he carried with his left, while his other hand leisurely picked up a big conch and placed it onto the plate, which already had more than ten crabs and several conchs stacked up to the height of a small forearm.

Not showing any signs of stopping, Li Yifei then placed about ten clams on top of the conchs before he finally paused, turning his head to Su Yiyi and asking, "Is this enough for us to eat now?"

"Plenty, plenty," Su Yiyi nodded repeatedly, her excitent and agitation evident, along with a slight embarrassnt.

If this were a fancy hotel or similar establishnt, Li Yifei’s behavior would be considered hoarding and would likely invite ridicule. But in a self-service restaurant, it wouldn’t be laughed at; instead, it would cause envy and admiration. Others might go back several tis and still not gather as much in one go as he did; he was truly a weapon of mass consumption in the buffet.

"Are you sure it won’t fall off?" Everyone watched Li Yifei stop and their gazes remained fixed on him, doubting he could safely transport all that food to the dining area without incident.

Song Xiaoli, Xiao Ning, and Su Yiyi all shared this concern. In a buffet, any careless spillage on the floor would lead to a fine, a asure to deter overambitious guests from taking more than they could handle, which could result in significant waste.

The waitstaff also followed over, stunned by Li Yifei’s food stacking. They had never seen anyone in all their ti working there take so much in one go.

Knowing the restaurant’s rules, Su Yiyi, Song Xiaoli, and Xiao Ning were not only excited but also very worried. Su Yiyi, nervous, moved to Li Yifei’s left, cautiously saying, "Brother Li, this... it won’t fall, right?"

Li Yifei turned his head to look at Su Yiyi, frightening her so much her heart almost leapt out. She hastily said, "Brother Li, don’t look at ."

Xiao Ning and Song Xiaoli quickly stretched out their hands, guarding Li Yifei’s plate from both sides, anxiously saying, "Be very careful. If it falls to the ground, that’s going to cost us."

Li Yifei then realized why they were so cautious. Smiling, he said, "Don’t worry, if I can stack it up, it won’t fall down. Lead the way."

With the three girls fretting intensely, Li Yifei safely delivered the mountain-like plate of seafood to their table. Placing the plate down, the seafood spread out, with so shrimp clams and conchs falling directly into the pot.

Spilling on the table wasn’t a problem, so the three won sighed in relief. Song Xiaoli, looking at the remaining crabs in the plate, asked, "How did you manage to stack them up? The shells of these crabs are slippery, and they’re still alive. Don’t they move?"

Xiao Ning tried stacking a couple of conchs, but they kept falling down, then chid in, "And what about those conchs? Their shapes are even more irregular. It’s impossible to stack two of them, let alone as high as you did. How did you do it?"

Su Yiyi looked curiously at Li Yifei, feeling quite proud inside. If her roommates struggled with this, it just made Li Yifei’s skill stand out even more.

Li Yifei put so crabs into the pot and said with a smile, "Actually, it’s quite simple. These crabs may be alive, but if you knock them out, they’ll stop moving. And the conchs, despite their irregular appearance, have very irregular shells. If you just find the right direction and set their position correctly, you can do it."

"Is it? That sounds pretty easy when you say it," Song Xiaoli attempted a few tis following Li Yifei’s explanation but still didn’t succeed.

Li Yifei laughed and said, "Move a bit closer, don’t let others hear, or the restaurant’s owner won’t be happy."

The three girls leaned in closer, and then Li Yifei picked up so conchs, whispering, "You see, stacking these two on top won’t work. But if you place several at the bottom, then you can stack more on top. Besides, if you insert the sharp end into the conch shell, it becos much more stable."

Now all three of them saw clearly and started trying it themselves. Although they couldn’t stack several layers as effortlessly as Li Yifei, they were able to stack a few more, which greatly excited them. They kept praising Li Yifei for his cleverness.

In truth, what seed simple was far from easy. Li Yifei’s success was entirely due to his martial arts prowess, his excellent vision, and judgnt, which allowed him to achieve such a feat. For an ordinary person to reach his level, even if they specifically trained for it, it would take years to match Li Yifei’s ability.

By showcasing his skill, Li Yifei had not only saved face for Su Yiyi but also quickly improved his rapport with Song Xiaoli and Xiao Ning.

After stuffing a piece of conch at into her mouth, Song Xiaoli spoke vaguely, "Li Yifei, Xiao Ning and I are both older than Yiyi. Yiyi usually calls us ’big sister’ and ’second sister.’ So you tell ... hehe, shouldn’t you also call us sothing?"

Su Yiyi imdiately looked at Li Yifei with so embarrassnt. Under normal circumstances in terms of addressing others, she was younger, so Li Yifei should be calling Song Xiaoli and Xiao Ning ’sister.’ Moreover, at the dorm, Song Xiaoli and Xiao Ning often called him ’brother-in-law,’ but Li Yifei was ultimately older than them. Calling them ’sister’ to their faces, she really feared that Li Yifei might not be pleased.

Li Yifei chuckled and said, "Going by what Yiyi said, I guess I should be calling you ’sister,’ then."

"Then go on and call us that; we haven’t heard it yet." Song Xiaoli and Xiao Ning both looked at Li Yifei with grins plastered on their faces.

Li Yifei fished out two bright red cooked crabs, handing one to each, "Big sister, second sister, you’ll have to look after this ’brother-in-law’ of yours more from now on."

"Alright ’brother-in-law,’ we officially acknowledge you now."

"Mhm, not too shabby. We can rest assured and leave Yiyi in your care."

The two tried to put on a serious and earnest facade, but before they could even finish speaking, they ended up bursting into laughter.

Su Yiyi let out a sigh of relief. She was genuinely afraid that her two roommates, with their lack of restraint, would irritate Li Yifei, leaving her stuck awkwardly in the middle. But Li Yifei was very considerate of her, chatting and joking along. No matter how much the sisters teased him, Li Yifei remained unbothered. This set her mind at ease completely, and the atmosphere grew even more boisterous.

Li Yifei had brought plenty of seafood, so generous that during this one round, the four of them didn’t need to go back for a second helping. After finishing the seafood, Su Yiyi stayed behind to watch over their things, while Li Yifei went with Xiao Ning and Song Xiaoli to get more lamb slices—this required no special technique, just grabbing a full plate of it. Each of them took a plate, amounting to over a pound of at, which was quite enough. Taking too much would be wasteful, as they wouldn’t be able to finish it all.

The girls, caring about their beauty, would avoid eating too much for fear of gaining weight. So naturally, they didn’t consu much at, leaving most of it for Li Yifei.

"I’m going to burst; why aren’t you guys eating? Isn’t it a waste not to?" Li Yifei, seeing the three barely touching the at, smiled and asked them.

Song Xiaoli blinked and said, "We won’t miss out. We still want to eat fruit salad later. Eating more fruits is good for beauty and keeping the skin hydrated. Unlike Yiyi, who’s so pretty with such great skin, we just have to endure not eating at."

Su Yiyi, sowhat bashfully, responded, "That’s not true; you’re beautiful too."

Xiao Ning laughed and said, "Don’t try to flatter us. You’re the beauty of our departnt. How do we even compare? Besides, if we were more beautiful than you, then wouldn’t ’brother-in-law’ be pursuing us instead? You wouldn’t feel secure."

Having gotten to know the two girls better, Li Yifei knew they had very straightforward personalities and cared even less about their teasing. He laughed and said, "Even if you were prettier than Yiyi, I still couldn’t pursue you. That would an betraying Yiyi."

"Oh... that’s so cheesy." The two of them hugged their arms, shaking off the goosebumps.

Girls in love like to hear such cheesy words. Su Yiyi felt even sweeter inside, giving Li Yifei a glance and couldn’t help but gently grasp Li Yifei’s hand under the table.

Standing up, Song Xiaoli laughed, "Alright, alright, you two stop showing off your love. ’Brother-in-law,’ why don’t you show us your amazing skill one more ti and grab us so more fruit salad?"

Li Yifei replied with a smile, "No problem, as long as you can eat it, a small amount is fine too."

Xiao Ning joined in teasingly, "Alright then, the portion for the four of us all depends on you now."

"Let’s go, ti to conquer the buffet." Li Yifei gestured and headed towards the serving area with Xiao Ning and Song Xiaoli, striding as if they were warriors off to battle. But such gusto for just fetching so fruit salad couldn’t help but be a little comical.
