"Meng Wenhao, why are you looking for me?"
Li Yu, who was in the editorial department of Datang Daily, was racking her brains to write the news. When she heard that someone was looking for her, she came out and saw that it was Meng Wenhao. She couldn't help but be surprised.
"No … Nothing! I'm just here to see how you've been recently. "
Compared to the first time they met, when her clothes were tattered and her face was dirty, the current Li Yu could only be described as stunning. Her eyebrows were picturesque, her lips were red, her small face was like a goose egg, her thin body, and her fiery red clothes fluttered in the wind. She was like a fairy that had descended from the heavens, elegant and otherworldly. She was completely different from the little beggar a few days ago. Meng Wenhao couldn't help but stare blankly at her, stuttering a little.
Li Yu was the treasure in the hearts of his adoptive parents. She was afraid that she would melt in their mouths, fall in their hands, and touch in their arms. She had been doted on since she was young. Even though their family fled to Chuyun Village and their lives weren't as rich as before, Fu Lingyan and Liu Yixue never stopped providing for Li Yu's daily necessities. It could be said that in the first ten years of Li Yu's life, she didn't understand the suffering of the world at all. It wasn't until her adoptive parents passed away that she stumbled to Chang 'an alone and tasted the hardships along the way. At that time, she was thankful to be able to get food to eat, so how could she have the time to dress up? Therefore, when Meng Wenhao met her for the first time, she was in such a terrible state.
But now, the little girl had a "high-paying job" that countless people envied. Li Zexuan even gave her an advance of five strings of money. After deducting the rent and household expenses, she was left with a large sum of money. Li Yu directly turned from a little beggar to a "little rich woman". Now that she had money in her pocket, she naturally wouldn't treat herself unfairly. She dressed up and walked around, buying beautiful clothes and hair accessories whenever she saw something she liked. It was as if she had returned to her days as a "little princess" in Chuyun Village.
"Me? I've been doing well recently! Eh? Meng Wenhao, why are you blushing? Hehe, are you mesmerized by my beauty? "
Li Yu immediately noticed the unnatural expression on Meng Wenhao's face. She proudly spun around on the spot. Her fiery red dress was like a ball of fire, dancing in the wind, passionate and unrestrained.
"Cough, cough, of course not!"
Meng Wenhao coughed dryly, took two steps back, and flatly denied.
"Hehe, your face is getting redder and redder, and you're still denying it? That day, this lady said that the robber didn't have good eyesight. He only wanted to rob money and not women. At that time, you didn't believe me. Hehe, do you believe me now? "
Li Yu pointed at Meng Wenhao's red face and giggled.
Meng Wenhao was speechless. He thought to himself that it was a good thing that the robber didn't have a good eye. If he did, you would have been in big trouble that day.
"Alright ~ I won't tease you anymore. Tell me, why are you looking for me? I don't believe that you came here just to see me. "
Li Yu twirled the hair in front of her chest with her fingers and said with an expression that said, "I'm very smart, don't lie to me."
"Uh …"
Meng Wenhao scratched his head and said, "Also, I'm here to treat you to a meal. You treated me to Yangchun noodles before. Cough, although we didn't eat it, at least we became friends because of it."
At this moment, he couldn't help but recall the frivolous words that Li Zexuan had said in the morning at the Li Estate. "Oh, that's right. Why don't you call Li Yu along as well? I think the two of you will be quite interesting together!"
"Hehe ~ Sure! It's rare for you to take the initiative to treat me to a meal. Tell me, where do you want to eat? "
Li Yu was quite surprised when she heard this. She thought for a while and agreed.
"Hehe, let's go to the Drunken Immortal Restaurant ~ ~"
"Wow ~! Drunken Immortal Restaurant! Did I hear wrongly? Wenhao, did you get rich? "
Li Yu shouted excitedly.
Although she had some assets now, she didn't dare to go to the Drunken Immortal Restaurant! A meal there would cost at least three or four strings of money.
"No, no! It's because I got first place in this monthly exam. Sir gave me a reward. He said that I can bring my family … and friends to the Drunken Immortal Restaurant for free. We can order whatever we want to eat as long as it's not a waste! "
When Meng Wenhao said "you can bring your family", he paused for a while. He was afraid that Li Yu would misunderstand, so he quickly added the words "and friends".
Li Yu didn't know the rules of the Mathematics School, so she didn't suspect anything. She just exclaimed, "Wow! Wenhao, you're amazing. There are so many talents in the Imperial College, and you actually got first place! "
Meng Wenhao was very happy to be praised by such a beautiful girl. He said embarrassedly, "I only got first place in the Mathematics School, not in the entire Imperial College. Little Yu 'er, don't talk nonsense."
"That's still very amazing ~! But is it appropriate for an outsider like me to go when Sir is treating your family to a meal? "
The mischievous Li Yu became shy at this moment, which was rare.
"There's nothing inappropriate about it. Not only my family, but Sir and his friends will also go."
Meng Wenhao explained.
"Oh ~! Okay, I'll go to the Drunken Immortal Restaurant after I'm done! "
Li Yu was relieved when she heard that Li Zexuan would also go and that she wasn't the only outsider.
Although she looked like she didn't care about anything on the surface, she still had a sense of propriety in her heart. She knew what to do and what not to do.
…
"Mom, you don't have to cook for lunch. I'll treat you to a big meal at the Drunken Immortal Restaurant!"
Meng Wenhao came back from the workshop and saw his mother picking vegetables in the courtyard. He went up and said with a smile.
"Ah ~? Hao 'er, do you have a fever? Why are you talking nonsense? How can our family afford to go to the Drunken Immortal Restaurant? "
Meng Wenhao's mother hurriedly put down the vegetables in her hands and got up to touch Meng Wenhao's forehead.
Meng Wenhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he took away his mother's hand and said, "Mom, I don't have a fever, and I'm not talking nonsense. I went to Sir's house this morning and he said that I got first place in the monthly exam. According to the previous rules of the Institute of Mathematics, the top scorer can bring his family to the Drunken Immortal Restaurant for free. I discussed it with Sir and decided to have this meal at noon today. So, Mom, you, dad, and Yaya, quickly pack up and get ready to go!"
"Really?"
Meng Wenhao's mother widened her eyes in surprise. She wasn't greedy, she just enjoyed the honor!
"Really, Mom, quickly go!"
Meng Wenhao said again helplessly.
"Ah! That's great! Darling, darling, Hao 'er got first place in the exam. Quickly pack up, we're going to the Drunken Immortal Restaurant for lunch! "
After getting confirmation, Meng Wenhao's mother reacted and ran into the house excitedly, shouting as she ran.
