Chapter 18: The Non-Existent Lunch Under Heaven

  (Third update... seeking votes from all-powerful book friends...... so few collections, seeking to be added to the bookshelf and taken away, loving is truly loving)

  Luckily, Li Xiaobai had been prepared and dodged Guo Jing's attack in time. Despite this, Li Xiaobai was still speechless. Not to mention that you personally admitted it, but also, you made me say it, when can girls be reasonable?

  Out of the campus, came to the commercial street, high-rise buildings can be described as towering, and all kinds of star-rated restaurants are not lacking.

  As two girls led Li Xiaobai into a restaurant that looked pretty good, Li Xiaobai hesitated for a moment. This meal is going to cost at least several hundred yuan, right?

  However, the two girls did not hesitate at all and pulled Li Xiaobai into the restaurant.

  Take the escalator to the second floor, under the leadership of the welcoming team, and come to a room in the Lotus Hall after three twists and turns. At the door of the room, the waiter led the three people in.

  "Li Xiaobai, how much living expenses did your uncle and aunt usually give you?" After sitting down one by one, Guo Jing picked up the menu on the table and smiled sweetly.

  No way, Li Xiaobai rubbed his eyes, and the usually chatty Xiao Niu suddenly smiled with a hint of spring breeze. It's only early October, shouldn't it be the chilly autumn wind blowing away fallen leaves?

  For Guo Jing's sudden smile and cheating behavior, Li Xiaobai despised him in his heart and said, "There should be about a thousand, I haven't counted accurately, but it should be roughly that many."

  "Just two weeks and you're giving me a thousand," Yuan Garden glanced at Li Xiaobai, "Looks like your family is doing alright?"

  It's just one thousand a month, but Li Xiaobai is too lazy to explain. You checked the household registration and investigated so clearly.

  "I ordered two dishes, Yuan Garden also ordered two. Now it's your turn." Guo Jing said, handing the menu to Li Xiaobai.

  "Haven't you ever invited guests before?" Li Xiaobai complained, "Since it's your treat, shouldn't you have given me the menu first? Alright, no need to explain, I won't argue with a girl."

  Ignoring Guo Jing's anger, Li Xiaoyao randomly ordered two dishes.

  Bastard, let you be proud for a while, Guo Jing drank a mouthful of tea poured by the waiter, thinking angrily.

  Three people ordered six dishes and finished them, then they ordered drinks again. Guo Jing directly asked the waiter to leave.

  Although it was a busy restaurant, since it wasn't Saturday, the dishes were served quickly. In about half an hour, all six courses had been served. In addition to fish-flavored shredded pork, sweet and sour carp, Kung Pao chicken, and pan-fried beef steak, there were also two vegetarian dishes.

  Although he was bad at math, Li Xiaobai's arithmetic was not bad. He estimated that this meal would cost at least 400 to 500 yuan. For him, half a month's living expenses were about the same amount.

  "Li Xiaobai," Guo Jing put down his chopsticks and looked at the person eating with gusto at the same table, smiling as he said, "Today we had a meal together, our relationship should be closer than yours with Xia Hua'er, right?"

  His hand shook for a moment before steadying again.

  "You're not thinking of getting me to take on Xia Xiang'er, are you?" Li Xiao Bai hastily took a sip of water, calming himself down. "Although Xia Xiang'er did push you to the ground, I don't have any conflicts with her, so this might be a bit difficult. Of course, if you feel like you've been wronged, no big deal, I'll invite you back next time. However, we need to make one thing clear: if I'm inviting you, it won't be at some outside restaurant, at most it'll be in the school's third-floor cafeteria. After all, this is your own initiative, I didn't ask for anything from you."

  Yuan was drinking a beverage and almost spat it out when he heard Li Xiaobai's words.

  What's wrong with this Li Xiaobai?

  "Hmph, when it comes down to it, aren't you just afraid of her?" Guo Jing said somewhat discontentedly.

  She was very vengeful. Even though the original intention today was not to achieve the purpose of teaching Xia Xiang'er a lesson through Li Xiaobai. However, after hearing with her own ears that two people were compared, and Li Xiaobai was more afraid of Xia Xiang'er, Guo Jing began to feel uncomfortable in her bones.

  He misunderstood that I was afraid of her, how can this be, Li Xiaobai quickly explained, "I'm not afraid of her, but I think Xia Xiang'er is always honest and doesn't want to trouble her."

  Anyway, Xia Xiner was not here, so Li Xiaobai started talking nonsense.

  It must be said that even if Xia Xiang'er were here, Li Xiaobai would not change his words. At worst, these words will only be muttered in his heart.

  "Is Xia Xiner really that innocent?" Lian Yuanyuan couldn't bear to watch anymore. "Li Xiaobai, stop deceiving yourself, okay? If Xia Xiner was a gentle and quiet mistress, would she have brutally pushed Guo Jing to the ground?"

  Yuan Garden was still hesitant about whether he should do this or not, but after hearing Li Xiaobai's answer, he felt at ease and justified instantly.

  Hehe, Xia Xiner often teaches Guo Jingcai a lesson, but these words must never be spoken out loud.

  "Whatever you say," Li Xiaobai said carelessly, "in the teacher's eyes, I'm a good student. I don't want to ruin my good image in the teacher's mind. However, you guys don't have to envy me, being a good student can be very tiring sometimes."

  What makes you a good student, are we bad students then?

  Although they knew that Li Xiaobai would soon be taught a profound lesson, the two girls still had an urge to slap Li Xiaobai to death.

  No way, we have to speed up the progress.

  Guo Jing raised his head and seemed to glance at Yuan Zhen unintentionally, immediately afterwards, Yuan Zhen stood up holding his stomach.

  I went to the restroom and my stomach hurts a bit.

  Won't it be exposed so soon?

  Li Xiaobai, who had eaten the steak into his stomach, wiped his hands and felt a bit depressed. He thought the two girls were acting, at least they should pretend for a while longer. Now he was impatient, but he wasn't full yet.

  The old saying goes: there is no such thing as a free lunch. Even if the lunch is free, it's still not enough to fill your belly.

  "Li Xiaobai, how's this meal today? Not bad, right?" Guo Jing smiled sweetly as usual.

  "Not bad, just don't know if you'll be willing to invite me out for dinner next time?"

  While speaking, Li Xiaobai put his right hand in his pocket and unlocked the keyboard lock according to the operation steps in his memory. Then, relying on his senses, he found the dial key and dialed a phone number with a hard scalp.

  Afraid of being discovered by Guo Jing's keen eyes, she could only dial that number, hoping she hadn't taken her lunch break yet.

  "Of course I will treat you." Guo Jing still smiled, "Who made us desk mates anyway."

  But in her heart, she said, go ahead and dream on.

  "By the way, why hasn't Yuan Garden come back yet?"

  Just as Guo Jing was muttering to himself, Li Xiaobai's mobile phone, which had been switched to ringing mode, suddenly rang out in the private room.

  "Excuse me, it's a call from family, I'll go answer it."

  Li Xiaobai had already pressed the connect button after hastily saying a sentence.

  "What's wrong with you again, Li Xiaobai?"
