Chapter 424 You've made a fool of yourself, I'll just watch you boast.
While holding the steak in his mouth, Qian Lai maintained his unseemly appearance with black pepper sauce smeared all over his lips.
And then, just like that, unexpectedly, one bright and beautiful face after another came into his view...
The girls' stunned expressions left Qian Lai speechless for a moment.
He instinctively chewed the steak in his mouth, his cheeks bulging, trying to swallow it quickly so he could free his mouth to respond to the greeting from the Su family girl he had already recognized.
"Pfft—" Who knew that in his haste, he made things worse.
He had just opened his mouth in a hurry, but before he could even utter a word, he suddenly choked.
That piece of steak, still unchewed, flew out like a cannonball fired from a gun emplacement, heading straight for Meng Di's face, who was sitting opposite him, mouth agape, also wanting to greet the girls.
Fortunately, the steak was only a hair's breadth away from Mengdi's open mouth, and it almost turned into a tragedy.
Startled, Meng Di quickly clenched her teeth, her face full of disgust, and hurriedly grabbed a tissue to frantically wipe her face.
He kept muttering, "Oh my god, Lao Qian, what are you doing? Why are you spraying meat in my face?"
Qian Lai was stunned by his own sudden "divine operation." The thought that several girls had witnessed this scene filled him with shame. He hurriedly apologized and even tried to take a handkerchief to wipe Meng Di's face.
After a flurry of activity, Qian Lai quickly swallowed the steak in his mouth, wiped his mouth, and then turned away with the face to do so.
"Hey... well, Yingying, and a few other girls, you've really made a fool of yourselves..."
At this moment, Qian Lai put away his previous embarrassment and resumed his serious demeanor.
He realized what was happening and asked with a hint of curiosity:
"Oh? Yingying, you came here during the academy's lunch break? Did my brother come with you?"
In fact, Qian Lai first learned about the place called "Fairyland" from his second brother, Qian Ye.
When his brother first mentioned the popular food spot in their academy, he didn't take it seriously at all.
I just felt that these students were greedy, treating any food they could get their hands on as a treasure, and thinking that everything was a delicacy.
But a few days later, his good friend Meng Di also came to see him and mentioned this place.
This time he believed it to some extent. After all, among his brothers, Di Ge was the most adept at exploring and discovering delicious food. If even he praised a place highly, the taste must be amazing.
When he came to this "fairyland" with Brother Di, he undoubtedly discovered this treasure trove of delicious food.
Qian Lai's residence was in Taoyuan Town. From then on, he would run there several times a day. [Fairyland] had almost become his regular dining hall for three meals a day.
Upon seeing Su Yingying, Qian Lai's first thought was that she had come here during her lunch break.
His younger brother, Qian Ye, always followed Su's sister around like a shadow, which is why he asked that question.
Su Yingying chuckled, her eyes curving into crescents. "Brother Qian, I took leave from the academy these past few days. I've been traveling around with my sister Bai, doing promotional work. I just got back here this morning."
Sister Bai invited us to stay and have fun here for another day, because I have to go back to the academy to study tomorrow..."
Speaking of the academy and money, Su Yingying continued:
"Recently, ordering takeout has become very popular in our academy!"
Especially the male students in our class, ever since they started ordering takeout, they've become so lazy, they don't want to go out anymore..."
However, the female students preferred to spend some money to take a public carriage to eat at [Fairyland].
It's cool and the environment is incredibly beautiful here. Coming here makes me feel like my mood is blossoming; it's so wonderful.
After each meal, there's plenty of time to stroll around and browse newly opened shops. It's an incredibly pleasant feeling.
"Hehe, Yingying is absolutely right. That Qian Ye is truly a blockhead who doesn't understand romance at all."
Even at home, we order takeout every day. Asking him to go out together is like asking him to die; we just can't get him to budge..."
After complaining about his younger brother, who was as slow-witted as a blockhead and completely clueless, Qian Lai changed the subject and asked:
"Yingying, have any of you guys gone to experience the newly opened haunted house today?"
Dige and I just came back from that challenge, let me tell you...
That place is absolutely worth visiting; I guarantee you'll never forget it after you've been!
Having been tortured beyond measure by the haunted house, Qian Lai had a wicked thought in his mind.
He was thinking of persuading Su Yingying and the others to give it a try too; he couldn't be the only one scared like a coward...
Su Yingying had no idea about her brother Qian's "glorious past" in the haunted house.
Upon hearing this, he asked with innocent curiosity, "Really? Brother Qian, is that haunted house really that fun?"
Did you see any ghosts inside? Was it really scary...?
Qian Lai glanced furtively at the girls, noticing their curious expressions and bright eyes, eagerly awaiting his answer.
He thought to himself, since they would never know about his wailing and embarrassing behavior in the haunted house, he had to earn back his pride no matter what.
So he touched the tip of his nose and said, feigning composure:
"Ghosts? Of course we saw them! If there were no ghosts in this haunted house, what kind of haunted house would it be, right?"
But your brother Qian is pretty brave. Those ghosts couldn't scare me at all. I even scared them so badly they ran away! Hahahaha…”
His laughter was a little forced, and when he looked up, he saw his good friend next to him staring at him with an expression that said, "I can't bear to watch, I'll just quietly watch you brag here."
Looking at the four girls again, there was a stunningly beautiful girl with a somewhat aloof air. After hearing what he said, she burst out laughing, then quickly covered her mouth with her hand...
The naive Su Yingying, however, didn't suspect anything and exclaimed with bright eyes, "Wow, Brother Qian is really amazing! After hearing what you said, I even want to go explore the haunted house..."
Qian Lai, though feeling a bit guilty about his boasting, quickly agreed, saying, "Go ahead, go ahead! You'll regret it if you don't go!"
After saying that, he quickly changed the subject, afraid that if he continued talking, he would give himself away.
"Yingying, have you finished this delicious buffet? Where were you sitting just now? I couldn't see you anywhere..."
"Hehe, Brother Qian, you don't know this, but we got to dine in the VIP room just now thanks to Sister Bai!"
Su Yingying explained happily that she wanted to tell the whole world everything about the beautiful and generous Sister Bai.
