87: Can you understand me as... a nouveau riche?
"Yes, I have a dinner engagement later."
"Have Shi Yu edit the video of us playing games yesterday, and it will be a whole day."
Xu Momo: "Okay, then remember to miss me!"
Ye Ze tapped her nose: "Of course, I'll miss you all the time."
Tian Feng, who had showered and changed, came downstairs: "Let's go, Boss."
Ye Ze told Tian Feng the address, and the two drove towards the destination.
Xia Ran had arrived early. This private kitchen was one her friend had brought her to before. Not only was the food delicious, but the environment was also elegant.
It could be said that every step was a scene, and the corresponding price was also very high.
She wouldn't normally be willing to spend money here, but thinking of Ye Ze's spending at the bar last time, she gritted her teeth and booked this place.
Moreover, there are many chefs here, who can satisfy most tastes, which is quite convenient.
After booking the private room, Xia Ran sent a message to Ye Ze.
Ye Ze led Tian Feng in. The service staff in cheongsams at the door bowed and greeted him: "Welcome to Taste. Do you have a reservation?"
Ye Ze nodded and stated the private room number that Xia Ran had mentioned.
"This way, please."
The private room door was opened. Xia Ran was wearing a white shirt with denim overalls over it today.
She also wore a creamy white wool cardigan and a small hat.
Last time, he felt that her temperament was very much like a girl next door, and now that she was wearing this outfit, she looked even more like it.
She was like that very well-behaved girl next door who would follow you around calling you Brother when she was little, and would look at you innocently with her big eyes.
"Have you been waiting long?"
Xia Ran shook her head: "No, I just arrived."
"The food at this private kitchen is really good. I ordered a few signature dishes. Do you want to eat anything else?"
The waiter waiting at the door immediately spread out the menu in front of Ye Ze upon hearing this.
The menu had everything, with a complete range of cuisines. After looking at the dishes already ordered, he added a dish of boiled cabbage.
He had eaten this dish once before and could never forget it.
At first, he scoffed at it, thinking it was just cabbage, what kind of tricks could they pull off?
But after eating it, he was amazed!
He didn't know how the taste made by this private kitchen would be. The key to this dish was the word 'fresh'.
Non-spicy Sichuan cuisine tests the chef's skills even more.
The waiter nodded and withdrew, waiting not far from the door, ready to provide service at any time.
"The environment here is really good."
"Yes, it is. The first time I came, I was so busy looking at the scenery that I almost went into the wrong private room..."
The girl laughed softly. Xia Ran looked even more delicate and lovely when she smiled.
"You're in a good mood today?"
Xia Ran was startled, her cheeks flushed slightly: "Yes..."
"Well, that's good. That day at the bar, you didn't seem truly happy."
Xia Ran was a little embarrassed: "That day, I broke up with my boyfriend, which is why I went to the bar. As a result, the first time I went to a bar, I encountered such a thing."
"Fortunately, you two were there, otherwise I really would have had nowhere to cry..."
Ye Ze didn't laugh at her either: "No need to be embarrassed. You were the one who was sincere. He lost such a good girlfriend like you, and he will definitely regret it later."
"I remember how a song goes? Only by saying goodbye to the wrong one can you meet the right one."
Ye Ze hummed the line. He wasn't a great singer, a little off-key.
Xia Ran chuckled: "Yes, you're right. Only by saying goodbye to the wrong one can you meet the right one."
There was a knock on the door, and the dishes were brought in one after another.
During the conversation, Ye Ze learned that Xia Ran was also from his school, just not the same department.
"Oh? So you're a senior."
Xia Ran was startled: "Why a senior and not a junior?"
Ye Ze smiled brightly, making Xia Ran momentarily lose herself, realizing how handsome he was.
"Because I'm 24."
Xia Ran: "Just graduated?"
"Yes."
"I really didn't expect that!"
Ye Ze: "Yes, that's why we have such a strong connection."
During the meal, the two chatted very happily. Ye Ze was surprised by her thoughtfulness, and Xia Ran was surprised by his humor and wit.
She was always made to laugh heartily.
They talked so much that they didn't eat much of the food.
Eating cold food is bad for the stomach. Just as Ye Ze was about to call the waiter to order a few more dishes, Xia Ran stopped him.
"How about I take you somewhere else to eat?"
"Okay."
If she had known Ye Ze was so easy to get along with, she wouldn't have made the reservation here. Now she planned to take him to her favorite street food barbecue stall.
When paying at the front desk, Xia Ran was told that the Mr. next to her had already paid.
Xia Ran immediately turned back to look at Ye Ze: "I said I was treating, how did you pay!"
Ye Ze smiled like a gentleman: "When eating out, how can I let a girl pay?"
Xia Ran pouted: "Then I won't take you to eat good food later."
He was already younger than her, he saved her, and then she let him pay for such an expensive restaurant.
Even though she knew this junior was very rich, Xia Ran was still very embarrassed.
Ye Ze saw her hesitation: "Didn't Senior want to take me to eat good food? I definitely won't rush to pay this time, how about I just bring my mouth?"
"Oh, no, two mouths, there's him too.", Ye Ze pointed to Tian Feng.
Tian Feng gave a simple smile.
Xia Ran then became happy: "Alright, it's settled then."
Ye Ze: "Did Senior drive here?"
"No, I haven't gotten my driver's license yet."
"Okay, then just take my car directly."
Just as Xia Ran nodded, she saw a stretched Rolls Royce drive over.
This brand was too famous. Even for her, a novice who didn't know much about cars, she knew its name.
"Wow, Junior, look, this car is so cool!"
"I saw online that men dream of owning this car!"
The car slowly stopped in front of them. Before Xia Ran could react, Ye Ze stepped forward and opened the car door for her: "Please come in, Senior."
Xia Ran covered her mouth and looked at him in disbelief: "This, this, this... Is this Junior's car?"
Ye Ze nodded: "Yes."
Even after sitting in the back seat of the Rolls Royce, Xia Ran still couldn't believe it.
She! Was actually lucky enough to sit in such a luxurious car!
Looking up was the starry sky ceiling, there was also an independent refrigerator in the car, and even the interior was adorned with diamonds to match the starry sky ceiling.
She gently touched the diamonds on the interior: "Junior, are these real diamonds??"
"Of course."
"Oh my god, how are you so rich! Who exactly are you!"
"When you just entered school, I hadn't left yet. Why don't I remember such a prominent figure in the school?"
Ye Ze smiled: "Because I only started getting rich after graduation. You can understand me as... a nouveau riche?"
