Chapter 406: Sir, I am Su Li’s best friend
The lights in the private room were bright, and the white light made everything appear gentle.Xu Haohao heard footsteps approaching from outside, and as the door to the private room was opened, she immediately nudged Lu Xiaomian, saying, "Xiao Mian, don’t sleep, Xiao Li and Mr. Qi are here."
Lu Xiaomian rubbed her eyes and murmured softly, "Is it time to eat?"
They had been waiting for quite some time, and Lu Xiaomian had been dozing off repeatedly, eventually laying her head on the table to sleep.
Feng Huaijin pulled out a chair for Su Li, then sat down beside her and snapped his fingers: "Serve the dishes."
The servers brought in exquisite dishes in an orderly procession, and the aroma in the room was mouthwatering.
As each dish was placed on the rotating table, Xu Haohao stared wide-eyed and exclaimed, "Wow, is this golden snowfish? This is my favorite dish!"
This dish used a type of precious deep-sea fish, with seasonings simmered into fine golden threads. Xu Haohao once ate it at someone else’s banquet and had never forgotten it since.
She hadn’t expected to encounter it here.
Lu Xiaomian, unusually awake, stared at the table with her big eyes, surprised, "Hey, it looks like there’s also my favorite dish here."
Lu Xiaomian was into wellness, loved to sleep, and preferred vegetables, having already embraced an old-age lifestyle. Her favorite was a dish of boiled cabbage.
It seemed like a cheap dish, but it was actually full of meaning. The essence lay in the soup, which was carefully made from various rare ingredients, accompanied by a single piece of cabbage, truly a masterpiece worth a fortune!
Su Li looked at Feng Huaijin suspiciously; how could it be such a coincidence?
No other dish overlapped, yet they managed to include those that Xu Haohao and Lu Xiaomian liked?
Feng Huaijin picked up his chopsticks and casually said, "I just checked what they like to eat."
It was just a few dishes, he could certainly afford it.
Xu Haohao was deeply moved by the meal; the fish melted in her mouth, and the flavor blossomed on her palate, it was so delicious!
Xu Haohao excitedly said, "Seventh Master Feng, thank you for your warm hospitality. Your image has grown even taller in my heart. Right, Xiao Mian?"
Lu Xiaomian slowly chewed the cabbage and nodded obediently, "Yes."
Su Li sat there, watching her two friends eat and praise Feng Huaijin.
Su Li’s suspicious gaze fell on Feng Huaijin; he really played his cards right.
Just a few dishes and he won over her friends.
But... a smile gradually appeared on Su Li’s lips.
It was because he cared, that’s why he wanted to please her friends.
After dinner, Feng Huaijin drove them back to the school.
Xu Haohao saw that Lu Xiaomian had fallen asleep again and quickly said, "Mr. Qi, you take Xiao Li back to the dorm, and I’ll take Xiao Mian back."
Feng Huaijin watched contentedly as Xu Haohao sensibly supported Lu Xiaomian away, thinking the meal with her friends was worth it today.
Feng Huaijin: "Let’s go, I’ll walk you back to your dormitory."
Su Li’s face was flushed, and she softly said, "The school is safe, I can go back by myself."
Feng Huaijin lazily replied, "The school is safe, but who knows if some guy might try to chat you up on the way."
Her cheeks, already red, turned even redder.
As they were nearing the girls’ dormitory, Su Li suddenly patted her head: "I need to pick up a package before heading back to the dorm!"
The delivery guy stood about ten meters from the dorm, placing the students’ packages on the ground. Students lined up with their pick-up codes to collect their packages.
Su Li hurriedly joined the line.
Yan Sida, who had just come downstairs ready to have dinner, happened to see Su Li and Feng Huaijin. Watching Su Li go to pick up her package while Feng Huaijin stood aside playing on his phone, she approached and greeted, "Hello sir, I am Su Li’s friend..."
Feng Huaijin looked up from his phone screen and interrupted indifferently, "Friend? I wasn’t aware she had a friend like you."
