“What the hell is all this? A thousand yuan just for this? This is even more shameless than the last place!”
No, this restaurant did have one difference.
That was, apparently they really did use special methods to raise their ingredients, and with all these materials… it seemed that a thousand yuan was actually reasonable. Not like the last place, which hadn’t changed anything and could still charge half as much.
“Just order whatever you want. Don’t worry, you’re not paying—I’ll cover it.”
Bai Ningbing patted her chest.
Damn! Is this what it means to be rich and willful? When will I be rich enough to act this way?
Lin Guanqi slapped her thigh in frustration, but then she thought—wasn’t Bai Ningbing’s money also her own money? Why make any distinction between us?
Thinking this, she felt much more balanced inside.
“Mm, but the dish names at this restaurant are all so fancy. I can’t even tell what’s actually in them…”
It seemed Bai Ningbing misunderstood what Lin Guanqi meant, so she snatched the menu from her hands and said, “No need to choose. Just bring us one of each of the restaurant’s signature dishes!”
The server nodded and went off to place the order.
If every dish is a signature dish, isn’t that going to cost tens of thousands?
Rich people’s meals cost tens of thousands per meal—this really is too extravagant, isn’t it?
This thought didn’t leave her until the food started arriving.
It was practically a Manchu Han Imperial Feast! Forget what I said before—this was a real banquet!
Lin Guanqi was practically drooling.
Useless saliva, hurry up and go back!
But seeing all this, let alone not drooling—even not looking at it would be torture.
“Can I start eating?”
Lin Guanqi had a dumb, foolish look on her face.
Bai Ningbing smiled and said, “Of course, these were all ordered for you.”
She didn’t know why, but her delicate darling had apparently become a complete glutton.
But even if she was a foodie, she was still her own person.
Despite all the ups and downs, Bai Ningbing’s feelings for Lin Guanqi had never changed.
From beginning to end, this had been a very difficult process, because she never knew how the other party really felt about her—let alone with memory loss, the first impression was even worse.
Bai Ningbing cherished this relationship immensely, and Lin Guanqi felt the same.
She knew this hard-won feeling needed to be carefully protected.
But now it seemed the person she wanted to protect was just stuffing herself with food.
“What are you muttering over there for? Hurry up and eat, if you don’t it’ll all be gone!”
Lin Guanqi’s mouth and hands were both covered in oil.
Both her cheeks were stuffed with food; seeing this, Bai Ningbing just found it hilarious.
“You really don’t need to rush—no one’s fighting you for it. Anyone who saw you would think you were a starving ghost reincarnated!”
“You’re the starving ghost! What’s wrong with eating a bit more of something delicious? Always trying to trick me!”
Bai Ningbing just smiled.
Being gluttonous wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. After all, if her stomach got used to these good things, she wouldn’t be interested in those cheap snacks she liked anymore.
And that meant, if she liked my money, isn’t that the same as liking me?
Report, report, I think we have a lovesick fool here.
All throughout the meal, Lin Guanqi kept her head down and ate, never once looking at Bai Ningbing. Halfway through, Bai Ningbing suddenly asked, “Now that you’re full, isn’t it my turn to eat?”
Lin Guanqi suddenly stiffened. Did she mean she wanted to eat her? How could she dare! This was a public place—even if you’re rich, you can’t do that!
“Y-you-you better not do anything crazy, we’re still out in public!”
Bai Ningbing slowly leaned closer.
Lin Guanqi squeezed her eyes shut, as if preparing for some kind of judgment, but all she felt was a sensation at her fingertips.
Opening her eyes, she saw Bai Ningbing nibbling at the shrimp on her fingers.
“What were you thinking? I just wanted to eat the shrimp in your hand. Why do you look like you’re expecting something else?”
“I—I’m not talking to you, not with you saying things like that!”
For a moment there, she really did have certain thoughts, but now, clearly, the clown was herself.
So, she silently decided not to speak to Bai Ningbing for the rest of this meal.
“If you’re really hoping for something like that, it’s not as if we can’t do it, you know. Even if we did something here, who’s going to talk? Who’d dare discuss us?”
This damn capitalist, and that damn smirk—why do I like her so much?
Lin Guanqi peeled another shrimp and put it in Bai Ningbing’s bowl.
“If you want shrimp, then eat more. Just because you’re quiet doesn’t mean you’re a mute.”
But before Lin Guanqi could even finish putting the shrimp in Bai Ningbing’s bowl, Bai Ningbing leaned over and ate not only the shrimp, but also the hand holding it.
“So tasty.”
Lin Guanqi could clearly feel Bai Ningbing’s tongue on her fingertips.
For some reason, that made her feel incredibly embarrassed, her face flushing instantly.
“Why do you always like eating my hand? There’s plenty of space in the bowl!”
Bai Ningbing didn’t mind at all, and even pulled a funny face.
“Aiya ya ya, so you know how to blush! What, was my darling thinking about something naughty just now? But I just wanted to eat the shrimp in your hand~”
“You’re still teasing me!”
The meal ended amid laughter.
After Lin Guanqi had eaten her fill, Bai Ningbing brought her to a hotel.
It was getting late, and after a meal, it was indeed time to rest.
When Lin Guanqi saw there was only one king-sized bed in the room.
She understood—tonight wouldn’t be ordinary.
With only one king bed in the hotel room, there was nothing more to say. Anyone could guess what that meant.
But even so, Lin Guanqi still pretended to ask,
“Why is there only one big bed in the hotel? Where am I supposed to sleep? Or you could sleep on the sofa and let me have the bed!”
Bai Ningbing walked slowly over to Lin Guanqi and said, “Why should I sleep on the sofa, or you on the sofa? Can’t we just sleep together?”
“T-together is fine, but if you try anything, watch out—I’ll kick you off the bed!”
“Oh, kick me off the bed, will you? Don’t worry, I definitely won’t do anything. If I do, then I’ll…”
…
Lying on the bed, Bai Ningbing was fairly well-behaved, and really didn’t do anything to Lin Guanqi.
But would she really be so well-behaved?
Suddenly, Lin Guanqi felt a hand reach over to her stomach, and she immediately dodged away.
“Y-you-you—what do you think you’re doing? I’m on my period, if you try anything and get me infected, you’re finished!”
