Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“What are you doing?” Mei Shu raised an eyebrow at him.
Lu Si had no intention of pulling his arm back. “Nothing, just a little surprised you did that.”
“I’m asking why you decided to put your arm on the back of my chair,” Mei Shu glanced at his half-arm, making her intentions clear.
Lu Si could only reluctantly retract his arm and sit upright in his own seat. “I’m hungry.”
Mei Shu frowned. For a moment, she thought the person sitting next to her had suddenly turned into the adorable Xiao Bao again!
But his cold expression remained; it was indeed Lu Si.
“Waiter, we’d like to order,”
Mei Shu snapped her fingers in the direction of the server.
The dishes on the table were leftovers from Mei Shu and Wen Miao’s meal. It wouldn’t be appropriate for Lu Si and Jiang He to continue eating those, so she planned to let the two of them order dishes they liked, and she would foot the bill.
At the front desk of the restaurant.
Several waitresses heard Mei Shu’s call and wanted to take the opportunity to get a closer look at the handsome guy.
The girls crowded in the narrow aisle, unwilling to give up the chance to get an up-close view of the handsome man.
Mei Shu waited for a while, but all she heard were rustling sounds from nearby.
She turned her head in surprise and saw that several girls had their starry-eyed gazes fixed on Lu Si.
Mei Shu couldn’t help but sigh inwardly and called out again, “Excuse me, waitress, can you come over? We’d like to order.”
“Uh, coming!” The girl who had eagerly welcomed Lu Si at the door was the first to respond.
The others were dejected and gave up the struggle.
Now there was only one person left in the narrow aisle.
The girl finally walked over. “Miss, here’s the menu.”
“Thank you,” Mei Shu gestured towards Lu Si and said, “Take a look and order whatever you like.”
The girl was frozen in place when she heard Mei Shu’s words.
She had worked in the restaurant long enough to understand a certain rule.
When a man and a woman went out to eat, if the woman paid the bill, they were most likely a married couple because husbands often entrusted their wives with handling the finances. If the man paid the bill, they were probably a couple.
However, from Mei Shu’s tone, it was clear that the two of them were not a married couple…
This restaurant might not be top-tier, but it wasn’t a place just anyone could afford to dine at.
The girl couldn’t help but think of a more unusual possibility.
With this in mind, when the girl looked at Lu Si, her gaze had a hint of curiosity. “Excuse me, sir, what do you do for a living?”
Lu Si found her tone strange and raised an eyebrow, “I’m sorry. 1 can’t disclose that.”
The girl blushed and hurriedly lowered her head. “I’m sorry, 1 didn’t mean to pry into your privacy. I just wanted to get to know you. If you don’t have a girlfriend, I…”
She lowered her head, her earlobes turning bright red. In the midst of her pounding heartbeats, she made a sudden decision and handed over a small piece of paper. “This is my contact information. If you don’t have a girlfriend, please get to know me, even if it’s just as friends!”
“Wow!” Wen Miao marveled at the girl’s courage and couldn’t help but exclaim.
Jiang He, on the other hand, had no interest in watching the spectacle.
The moment the girl handed over the note, he broke out in a cold sweat. “Um, miss, he has a girlfriend, so he can’t accept your contact information. Sorry.” “He has a girlfriend?” The girl instinctively looked at Mei Shu.
Mei Shu quickly shook her head in denial.
She didn’t want to be the one to ruin this girl’s potential love interest.
But before she could say anything, Lu Si reached out and, right in front of the girl, put his arm around her shoulder. “This is my girlfriend. Can we order now?”
The girl felt so embarrassed she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
She never expected Mei Shu and Lu Si to be in that kind of relationship!
Based on Mei Shu’s tone when she spoke to Lu Si earlier, she had assumed Lu Si was just a young man being financially supported by a rich woman…
Although she didn’t have the money to support such a handsome man, being friends and occasionally going out for meals to feast her eyes on him would still be worth it. Moreover, as long as he was single, she might have a chance. But she never thought she would be in this situation!
Mei Shu was completely stunned, and the hand resting on her shoulder was unbelievably warm, to the point that she found herself somewhat longing for the warmth of his palm, forgetting to push him away.
When she snapped out of it, the others had already finished ordering their food.
Lu Si calmly waited for her to notice his gaze. “What are you thinking?”
As he spoke, his fingers moved up and down her shoulder in a suggestive manner.
Mei Shu quickly pushed his hand away. “Why did you say I’m your girlfriend?”
“It’s a good way to avoid trouble,” Lu Si calmly sipped his hot tea. “Nervous, are you?”
“Why would I be nervous?” Mei Shu quickly denied.
“Is that so?” Lu Si tilted his head and his gaze fell ambiguously on her profile.. “Then why are your ears so red?”
