A group of four arrived at a cluster of villas.
Guo Xuyang felt a sense of familiarity. "Have we been here before?"
"Yes, but we've changed locations for a different experience," Xu Dahai parked the car and led the other three towards a small villa.
"Why are you so late? I'm starving," Li Si complained as the four entered. "Whoa, are you serious?"
"What's serious or not? Call her sister-in-law," Guo Xuyang said with a smile.
"I have to admit, I underestimated you," Li Si observed, looking at Gao Lihua and then at Guo Xuyang.
"My brother was a devoted follower for a long time before he could win the heart of a beauty."
"It's about charm, understand?" Guo Xuyang joked.
"We'll talk about it later, let's eat first," Xu Dahai said, walking inside. "Is it ready?"
"The dishes are almost cold. You'll all die by women's bellies sooner or later," Li Si said grumpily, and followed them in.
"The villas aren't big, and they usually only accommodate three tables. We're probably the last one," Xu Dahai said as they walked.
"They left long ago. I'm bored to death here."
"Eat more later, to replenish you," Guo Xuyang chuckled.
"This is prepared for you. I come here often, I've tasted everything."
As they spoke, the group entered a room. It was quite spacious and luxuriously decorated. Several cold dishes were already placed on the round table in the center.
"Didn't you say it was ready?"
"The private kitchens here start cooking only when guests arrive. Do you think I control everything?" Li Si said, sounding annoyed.
"I saw it. You did it on purpose."
"Bite me. Yes, I did it on purpose. So what?"
Guo Xuyang felt that Li Si's temperament was very boyish, carefree, and lacked any trace of ladylike demeanor.
"Alright, you've only met twice and you're already arguing. If you met every day, you'd be fighting all the time," Xu Dahai quickly intervened as the two started bickering.
"Who's meeting him every day? I wouldn't have come if it wasn't for you."
"Sister, have I offended you today?" Guo Xuyang asked Li Si.
"Yes, you've offended me terribly."
"How did I offend you? Tell me, and I'll change it if I can."
"You're too much of a scoundrel. There are several pregnant women here, and you're still flirting with other women." Li Si said.
"What does that have to do with you? I like women, what's it to you?"
"I just feel it's unfair to Lin Ziqi."
"Are there that many fair things in the world? Besides, Ziqi herself doesn't have any objections, so why are you worrying so much?"
"Sisi, say a few less words. Yangzi hasn't been here for a long time, don't drive him away," Xu Dahai said.
"He's too thick-skinned, he won't leave," Li Si said as she sat down.
However, she didn't bother Guo Xuyang further.
"Old Xu, I know how formidable your sister is," Guo Xuyang said as he sat down.
"She has a sharp tongue but a kind heart. She's actually a good person, just someone who likes to stand up for others. Let's not talk about this. I've ordered what you like to eat."
As Xu Dahai spoke, the chef began to serve the dishes.
There were roasted lamb legs, beef ribs, oysters, and elaborate dishes.
"What is all this?" Guo Xuyang asked Xu Dahai.
"Try it, it's no less than the lamb and beef you bring," Xu Dahai said, handing him a beef rib.
Guo Xuyang took a bite. Although the beef wasn't as good as his own, the flavor was indeed excellent.
"It's delicious. Don't order too much, you won't be able to eat much tonight."
"There aren't many dishes. The oysters are specifically for you, to replenish you," Xu Dahai said, pushing the oysters towards him.
"I don't need it. I'm not very hungry at night anyway."
"Can you afford to be idle?" Pi Xiaoqian said from the side. "Just make sure you don't get too sore to move tomorrow."
"There are ladies present, don't talk nonsense," Guo Xuyang said deliberately.
"You can consider me your brother. It's fine, what have I not seen?" Li Si said, completely unfazed.
"Sisi is just missing a patron. How about it? Take her in? My aunt will thank you later," Xu Dahai chuckled.
"What are you talking about? My situation here is already chaotic enough. If she comes, she'll overturn the table," Guo Xuyang said, unmoved.
"Do you think I'm eager for it?" Li Si said, using a small knife to carve off a piece of lamb and offer it to Guo Xuyang. "Try this, it's better than the beef."
"Thank you, thank you, I'm flattered."
"As long as you don't receive any scriptures."
Li Si dared to say anything, which made Guo Xuyang feel a little embarrassed.
"Brother Yangzi, is the lamb delicious?" Gao Lihua asked from the side.
Whether it was intentional or she had forgotten, everyone else had a roasted lamb leg except for her.
"Try it, it's good." Guo Xuyang handed the roasted lamb leg, prepared by Li Si, to Gao Lihua.
"Thank you, Brother Yangzi," Gao Lihua said coquettishly.
"Can't you cut it yourself?" Li Si said, throwing her knife onto the table when she saw Guo Xuyang handing the lamb leg to Gao Lihua.
"Sisi," Xu Dahai called out.
"What are you shouting about? You called me here just to make me angry," Li Si said, picking up her bag and leaving.
Gao Lihua looked at Guo Xuyang, then at Xu Dahai, her face flushed red.
"Eat your food, ignore her," Xu Dahai said to Gao Lihua. "I don't know what's gotten into her today."
"Yangzi, don't you think something is off?" Pi Xiaoqian said, glancing slyly at Guo Xuyang.
"Who asked me to be so charming? I gave her a chance, she can't blame anyone else," Guo Xuyang said innocently.
"Sisi didn't actually fall for you, did she?" Xu Dahai said, realizing it belatedly.
"How is that possible? I'm not her type. Let's eat, we still have to go work in the fields after this," Guo Xuyang said, picking up another beef rib.
"Ah?" Xu Dahai didn't understand for a moment, but then he looked at Gao Lihua and smiled.
"Are you waiting for tonight? Alright, I won't disturb your good time. Eat quickly, and after that, I'll take Fatty away so I don't have to be a third wheel."
"Are there still plans for tonight?" Pi Xiaoqian asked while eating an oyster.
"If you're not afraid of not being able to move tomorrow, you can join. We'll satisfy any of your needs."
"The ladies from that group tonight are quite good," Pi Xiaoqian said.
"You can't be serious, can you?" Xu Dahai looked at him in disbelief.
"I didn't expect you to prepare so well."
"You should have said so earlier, then I would have brought them out."
"I didn't know I could bring them out. Besides, they were all asleep, and I couldn't bear to wake them up."
"I'll have Huazi send them to you tomorrow," Xu Dahai said.
"Forget it, I have to go back tomorrow," Guo Xuyang said.
"Aren't you staying a few more days? I'm getting married on the first of October."
"I'll come when you get married. I still have a lot of things to deal with at home."
"Are you not going to check on the few shops here?"
"Ziqi is handling them, so I don't need to. By the way, is your cousin getting along well with Ziqi?"
"Yes. Xu Lili introduced them."
"No wonder she looked at me with such a bitter and resentful expression."
"She's a good person, just a bit short-tempered."
