My Beautiful Landlord

There's still a date?

Along the way, the three of them had a tacit understanding and did not speak anymore. A few minutes later, the driver brought two people to the French restaurant that Li Lu had chosen.

Li Lu and I entered the dining hall together. Even without looking, we could feel gazes of either envy or jealousy from our surroundings.

I looked at the peacock like woman beside me. If I were to praise her even a little more, she would probably open her mouth.

Li Lu detected my gaze and proudly raised her eyebrows at me, feeling as though she had said something else: "You, Lin Hao, have a lot of face by bringing me out to eat. Look at how they all think I'm your girlfriend, they're even envious of you."

At that moment, I really regretted agreeing to Li Lu's request. I should have just pushed her away and left. But there was no way to be a man, and since she could not keep her word, she had already promised her that she would not go back on her word.

It was my first time coming to such a grand French restaurant. I had an appointment with a coffee shop, so I had time to search for what I wanted to do. It would be awkward if the waiter came over later.

Sure enough, just as I thought about it, a waiter came over with a tray. The waiter put down two cups of plain water and took down two menu books, giving them to Li Lu and me respectively. Then, he held onto the tray, waiting for us to speak.

Li Lu spread the menu out on the table and casually flipped through it. She casually ordered a few very expensive dishes and then closed the menu.

I cleared my throat and ordered a few relatively cheap dishes. After all, I didn't have a lot of living expenses, but because I often ate the food Zhang Xue made for me, I saved up a little bit of money without needing to spend money.

Li Lu, this young miss, I cannot afford to go to an expensive restaurant.

The waiter took back his menu and left, and for a moment, only Li Lu and I were left awkwardly looking at each other. Finally, Li Lu opened her mouth first: "Speaking of which, I can only meet you once because of that old woman, and have a meal with you."

I realised that the old woman she was referring to was Zhang Xue and the anger that was temporarily suppressed in my stomach lit up again. "She is called Zhang Xue, not some old woman."

Li Lu leisurely picked up the plain water on the table and took a sip, leaving a shallow lipstick mark on the glass. She also picked up a tissue at the side and pressed it to her lips, looking so elegant, she didn't seem like herself. After doing all this, Li Lu then spoke again: "Do you like her that much? What's so good about her? You see, when I say old woman, you know that I mean her. Doesn't that mean you think so too? "

"You!" I was furious. Even though I knew Li Lu was trying to argue, I couldn't say anything to refute her words. She decided to just ignore her and lower her head to sulk. The atmosphere at the table froze for a moment.

Fortunately, the dishes were quick. As soon as I drank two sips of plain water, the waiter came over with a tray. He then placed the small plates one by one onto the table.

After the waiter had put away all the dishes, he bowed and said, "Please enjoy your meal." After that, he left. Li Lu picked up her knife and fork familiarly, and started to eat the small, graceful, and refined bites.

"What happened to you today? Why did you suddenly act like this?" As I imitated Li Lu's actions, I used my knife and fork, and did not forget to ask her.

Who knew that Li Lu would blush and stutter: "Nothing." She didn't want to ask any more questions.

We finished this meal in this weird atmosphere where one of us was clenching his teeth while the other was blushing and remaining silent. In fact, I only finished 50% of my meal, so I planned to eat another box of bubbling surface back at Rental House.

Li Lu said: "I just so happen to be going to the washroom, let me call the waiter over to pay first."

Not long later, Li Lu called for the waiter, the waiter reported the prices on the menu and looked at me: "Sir, how do you want to pay? Cash or swipe cards? WeChat or Alipay can also transfer funds. " After listening to the price, I had already thought of countless ways to avoid the bill. A single meal here was already so expensive, how could I, a student from the countryside, afford such a price?

In my heart, I secretly cursed why did I have to pay for it. Even if it was AA, I could still barely afford it. It's just that I have to spend the rest of the month using steamed buns and pickled vegetables. Furthermore, Li Lu couldn't have invited me out just to kill me, right? She was only a young miss, that shouldn't be necessary, right?

"Sir?" The waiter saw that I didn't respond, so he waved me back.

"Ah, oh. "That …" I didn't know what to do. The waiter's gaze also changed from respectful to contemptuous, as if he saw through what I couldn't afford.

"I'm back." Li Lu pulled open the chair opposite of us and sat down. She noticed that the waiter and I were looking at each other and asked, "What happened to you two? "Don't tell me that I just left for a while, and you two saw each other?"

"No, no, no, ma'am." The waiter quickly waved his hands, as if getting involved with me would be very embarrassing. However, as I am someone who can't even afford to pay for a meal, it's normal for me to be disgraced.

"I was just asking the gentleman what way he'd like to pay for the bill, but he seems..." The implications of his words were obvious.

"Oh!" Li Lu looked as if she had suddenly realized something. Although I didn't like her, I also didn't want to be looked down upon by her. In the end, she said to me: "You want to say that your card is with me right? "You are such a loser that you forgot to leave it at my place." "You … After saying that, he took out a card from his bag and handed it to the waiter, "We'll pay with our cards." He asked me, "Am I right?" I nodded, grateful to her for helping me out. Although the waiter looked at me with disdain, he even looked at me with contempt, as if I was a pretty boy who was being taken care of.
