121: Chapter 121 You bastard Shen Weiyue, I'll remember you!

After Shen Weiyue stated his conditions, the atmosphere in the private room became strange.

Everyone stopped talking, each clutching their teacups to drink, secretly waiting for the dishes to be served.

The way Li Mengmeng looked at Shen Weiyue was no longer as lively as before; it even became somewhat dull and bored.

The pouty-lipped girl took the bait so quickly.

What could be interesting about it? It's completely boring.

Feeling somewhat uninterested, she said indifferently, "Master Shen, I've received your concern. I'll eat more fish in a moment, so please do the Fortune-telling for me."

"No rush. Let's talk after you finish eating." Shen Weiyue looked at her deeply, a joyful smile on his face.

Ning Xi felt extremely sad. Why had Shen Weiyue become like this?

Back in high school, he was clearly so independent and unconventional; even when facing Zhao Qingyan, he wouldn't have been this groveling.

Do you think you can win her favor by caring about her eating more?

You have disappointed me so much.

...

"Hello, excuse me. The West Lake Vinegar Fish is ready. Your dishes are all served. Call me if you need anything else."

"Okay, thank you. Please close the door on your way out."

When the long-awaited Vinegar Fish was brought to the table, everyone, who had already finished half their meal, put down their chopsticks.

"Let me serve the fish." As the organizer of the gathering, Shen Weiyue naturally picked up the iron spoon to serve the fish.

He portioned off the fattest, most tender piece from the fish belly and gave it to Li Mengmeng first, even thoughtfully adding a spoonful of sauce.

"Here, Mengmeng, eat more."

"Thank you."

Li Mengmeng thanked him indifferently.

Shen Weiyue put down the spoon, ignoring Ning Xi's longing gaze, and looked at School Beauty Li with concern, like the most affectionate, warm man, saying:

"I specifically chose the fish belly. There are no bones, so it's perfect for taking big bites. Eat it while it's hot; it won't taste good once it cools down."

Look, what a big simp.

Ning Xi was extremely sad. She raised her chopsticks to pick up some fish herself, but Shen Weiyue stopped her.

"Don't eat this. This is for Mengmeng."

Ning Xi's eyes turned red immediately.

Shen Weiyue actually wouldn't let her eat the fish. He clearly knew she loved fish the most, yet now, for Li Mengmeng's sake, he wouldn't even let her have a taste.

That's too much!

Even his adopted son, Qi Hui, felt that Shen Weiyue was going a bit too far.

Although Ning Xi was a tiny bit inferior to Li Mengmeng, she was still a department beauty and your little fan girl from high school.

"Brother Yue..."

"Don't talk. Let Mengmeng eat first."

Qi Hui rolled his eyes.

Eight pairs of eyes were fixed on Li Mengmeng, as if this were a grand ceremony waiting for the opening gong to sound.

Li Mengmeng listlessly picked up her chopsticks; at this moment, her interest in Shen Weiyue had hit rock bottom.

No woman likes a simp; the more beautiful and proud a woman is, the more this is true.

She picked up the fish meat and put it in her mouth. The next second, she frowned, then her eyes widened.

"Is it good?" Her roommate looked at her expectantly.

"It must be good. Look, Mengmeng's eyes are wide open. It's obvious she's never had fish this delicious." Shen Weiyue answered with a smile.

Li Mengmeng couldn't help but want to throw up, but she heard him say again, "I gave you the best parts to eat, and I'm even risking shortening my lifespan to tell your fortune. Tell me, am I good to you or not?"

"Good, very good!" With a group of people watching, Li Mengmeng couldn't very well spit out the chewed-up fish meat. Little fairies don't do such unrefined things.

She prepared to put down her chopsticks, but Shen Weiyue reminded her, "You haven't finished yet. We agreed you'd finish before I do the Fortune-telling. Even though you are so beautiful, I can't break the rules; that wouldn't be fair to Little Xi."

Ning Xi snorted, thinking to herself, thanks for remembering me.

Adulterer, lecher!

Li Mengmeng thought that since she had already eaten one piece, giving up now would be a bit of a loss, so she gritted her teeth and ate another piece.

As soon as she finished what was in her bowl, Shen Weiyue flipped the fish over and dug out the fish belly from the other side for her.

"Here, there's another piece on this side. You must remember how good I am to you."

"I'll remember it, I'll never forget it for the rest of my life!"

Li Mengmeng stared at Shen Weiyue, smiling like a flower. After all, she had already eaten a big piece; if she didn't eat this one, the sunk cost would be even greater.

Shen Weiyue also smiled and looked back at her, his eyes full of admiration.

Everyone was speechless.

Damn it, it's just eating fish, are they already flirting with their eyes?

Li Mengmeng finished the fish without changing her expression. Her roommate Zhou Hui couldn't help but ask, "Mengmeng, is it exceptionally delicious?"

"Hmm, it's indescribable. Try it yourself." Li Mengmeng used an ambiguous term.

People who have been tricked are tight-lipped; just like someone who has been rained on, they can't wait for others to get rained on too.

Zhou Hui couldn't wait to pick up a piece. After it entered her mouth, she looked at Li Mengmeng in shock, but half a second later, she showed an intoxicated expression: "It's delicious."

Then Wu Xiaoting also picked up a piece: "Holy crap, it's... it's delicious. Shishi, you should try it quickly."

Wang Shishi was also tricked, but seeing that the three of them—Qi Hui and the others—hadn't eaten yet, she nodded with a smile.

"Hey, Fatty Xie, since it's a specialty dish of Hangzhou, I must try it."

"Definitely. Would I lie to you?"

The three silly dogs grabbed their chopsticks and each snatched a big piece. After it entered their mouths, A-Bin's brows furrowed tightly. Qi Hui slammed his chopsticks down, spat out the fish meat, and cursed loudly:

"Damn it, Xie Dongming, you dog, is this something humans can eat?"

"I'd rather eat shit than eat this shitty Vinegar Fish of yours, ptooey, ptooey, ptooey..."

Xie Dongming couldn't eat it either and spat it out, looking at the girls opposite him with an indescribable expression.

This group of women, their mouths are really tight.

Ning Xi's curiosity was piqued. Ignoring Shen Weiyue's dissuasion, she also picked up a piece, took a bite, and spat it out.

"Oh my god, it's so disgusting."

"Didn't I advise you against it? You still didn't believe me. Do you really think I'm trying to harm you?"

Shen Weiyue said grumpily, and Ning Xi instantly beamed, extremely happy.

She looked at Li Mengmeng, feeling incredibly satisfied inside.

Hehe, I knew it. How could Master Shen be seduced by beauty?

Li Mengmeng, now you know how tough he is!

Ning Xi was happy, but Li Mengmeng was broken by her gaze, which looked at her like she was mentally challenged. Coupled with hearing Qi Hui's theory about eating shit, she felt sick and nauseous.

"Ugh~"

She stood up, rushed out of the private room, and ran towards the restroom.

Her three roommates followed her out.

"Awesome. Old Yue, you're really awesome. School Beauty Li was made to throw up by you. I really admire you now." Xie Dongming gave a thumbs up.

Shen Weiyue looked at him and said indifferently, "Don't think that just because you complimented me, it's all fine. What did I say before ordering? If you can't finish it, we'll see."

"It's not that serious, is it..."

"Someone, feed Young Master Xie the fish!"

Qi Hui and A-Bin revealed sinister smiles and instantly stood on either side of Xie Dongming, locking him in place.

Shen Weiyue brought the entire plate in front of Xie Dongming and said with a smile, "Brother Dong, a real man must keep his word."

"Brother Yue, I'm still a child..." Xie Dongming struggled.

"A 180-pound child, huh? Wasting food is shameful. Don't force me to take action."

Fatty Xie tearfully devoured the Vinegar Fish.

Just then, Li Mengmeng and her roommates returned to the private room, saw Fatty Xie rolling his eyes while eating the fish, and couldn't help but cover their mouths and run out again.

"Bastard Shen Weiyue, I'll remember you!"
