When she was 13, Gu Nianzhi had gone to Scotland for a holiday with Huo Shaoheng to eat fish and chips once at the famous Caroline's Pub.
She had never forgotten about it and even tried to learn how to make it when she came back. Unfortunately, Chen Lie had banned it because it was too oily, unhealthy, and prone to obesity …
Mei Xiawen's gaze became even more sympathetic.
The fish and chips he knew were fast food like McDonald's and KFC, completely unpresentable. Who would actually eat that kind of food for the rich and powerful?
"… Let's have onion fried calamari rings." Mei Xiawen gently squeezed Gu Nianzhi's hand and said to the waitress at the door, "And two large portions of onion fried calamari rings."
Gu Nianzhi didn't like onions and calamari.
But when a few large plates were served, she politely took a few bites and praised them without feeling any pain or itch.
Everyone else at the table ate happily. Gu Nianzhi sipped her milk tea and looked at everyone with a smile.
After the appetizers, the main course was served.
Because they had ordered Italian food, everyone shared it according to Western customs.
Everyone had their own plate and ate what was on their plate. There was no need to serve each other.
Mei Xiawen's main course for Gu Nianzhi was Milanese veal seasoned with onion and bay, and grilled codfish in tomato sauce.
Gu Nianzhi discreetly pushed the onions beside the veal slices to the side and only cut a piece of beef to taste.
"Nianzhi, congratulations on getting the acceptance letter for the B University Faculty of Law postgraduate program!" Mei Xiawen smiled and raised his glass of Moscato Astir to congratulate Gu Nianzhi.
"Oh? Little Four, you got the acceptance letter?! When did that happen?! "Little Temptress exclaimed in surprise and also raised her glass.
The Moscato Astir had an alcohol content of only 5.5% and tasted like carbonated drinks. Mei Xiawen had to drive, so it was fine for him to drink it.
"This morning, Professor He sent me the acceptance letter right after the interview, but it was an email. The official letter said it would arrive in three days." Gu Nianzhi also raised her glass and said cheerfully.
She was extremely happy.
Becoming a postgraduate student under Professor He Zhichu at the B University Faculty of Law was one of her wishes.
"Well done!" Green Tea Fang raised her glass as well and smiled gracefully. "You missed the interview because you were sick. That Feng Yixi from the dorm next door disgusted me. Thank God she's okay. Otherwise, my only regret in my university life would be Feng Yixi getting into B University's Faculty of Law as a graduate student. "
She was worried that her roommates would be unhappy with her if they found out that she had secretly gone to the interview without telling them.
However, the other three people in the dormitory did not care at all. They all smiled and congratulated her.
It seemed like she was thinking too much.
The corners of Gu Nianzhi's lips curled up like a water chestnut. She raised her hand and clinked glasses with everyone.
Everyone drained their cups in one go, and the atmosphere immediately became lively.
Mei Xiawen thoughtfully poured her another glass of Moscato Astir white wine. It was just enough to cover the bottom of the glass.
The atmosphere of the Red House Restaurant suddenly became high-end, and everyone spoke softly to each other.
The sudden ringing of a cell phone was particularly abrupt.
Mei Xiawen frowned and looked at his phone. It was Ai Weinan. He didn't want to answer, so he hung up.
However, Ai Weinan quickly sent him a text. "Class Rep, I'll be waiting for you at the entrance of the Red House Restaurant."
Mei Xiawen was speechless.
He put his phone away and stood up to say to Gu Nianzhi, "I have to go out for a while. Eat slowly and wait for me to come back." He patted Strongman's shoulder. "Take good care of them for me. I'll be right back."
After Mei Xiawen left, Little Temptress, who was sitting next to Gu Nianzhi, took a sip of wine and asked her, "Where did Class Rep go?"
"I think something happened. Someone called him." Gu Nianzhi didn't know what it was, so she casually changed the subject. "Little Temptress, you're going back to the capital after graduation?"
"Yeah, my family is rushing me." Little Temptress had chicken parmesan and lettuce, bell pepper, and octopus salad in front of her. She used a fork to mix the finely sliced cheese and tomato sauce and spread it on the chicken breast. She cut off a small piece and ate it slowly.
The cheese had a rich flavor, and the tomato sauce was fresh and fragrant. The flavors were strong when mixed together. It was a good accompaniment to a sip of white wine.
Green Tea Fang ate a few mouthfuls of the squid spaghetti and stopped eating. She held her glass of sweet white wine and stared at the door, lost in thought.
She waited until Mei Xiawen came in with a good-looking, moderately built girl. She smiled and coughed lightly. Her tone was very intriguing. "Class Rep, you went out to meet some pretty girls?"
Mei Xiawen pulled out a chair for Ai Weinan to sit. He introduced her to the other students in the private room. "This is my high school classmate, Ai Weinan. She's studying law at Z University."
He then introduced his college classmates to Ai Weinan. "These are my classmates, Strongman. You know them. This is … our female classmates, Fang Wenxin, Cao Yunshan, Wang Junya, and Gu Nianzhi. "
Mei Xiawen deliberated for a moment and decided not to mention their nicknames. He only said their names.
Ai Weinan poured herself a glass of wine generously and said, "I'm late. I'll drink three glasses as punishment. You guys help yourselves. Xiawen is a hospitable person, so don't be shy. Eat whatever you want. "She downed her glass in one gulp, then downed two more in a row. She looked like the hostess of the house.
Gu Nianzhi's roommates were all shrewd people. How could they not see that this girl was trying to assert her "sovereignty"?
Green Tea Fang chuckled. How dare this Ai Weinan show off in front of an expert. She, Green Tea Fang, had stopped doing this after she graduated from elementary school.
She twirled her wine glass in her hand and said slowly, "What do you mean by drinking three glasses of wine as punishment? Shouldn't you usually drink white wine? "
Little Temptress immediately chimed in. "Yes, if Classmate Ai is sincere, you should drink three glasses of white wine as punishment!"
"Interesting. But did the class monitor invite you in advance? "Lady Cao smiled gracefully and also raised her wine cup.
Ai Weinan was taken aback. She shook her head. "Class Rep didn't know I was coming to C City today. Why would he invite me?"
Lady Cao slammed her glass down on the table. Her voice was soft and gentle. "Then why are you punishing yourself? You make it sound like we're all waiting for you. Your face is as big as this goblet. "
Ai Weinan's face flushed red. She looked at Mei Xiawen and bit her lip. "Class Rep …"
Mei Xiawen smiled and tried to smooth things over. "The three of them just like to joke around. They have sharp tongues but soft hearts. They're just joking with you."
