Back home, it was already dark. Su Fan entered the game and spent another day on sect missions.
The next morning, he woke up at nine o'clock.
This was the earliest he had ever woken up.
"Brother Fan!"
Su Fan suddenly heard someone calling him from outside the door.
Looking out the window, he saw it was Su Bei.
"Why so early?" Su Fan asked, puzzled.
Nine o'clock was indeed early for Su Fan; he was usually still in the game at this time.
"Treating you to a meal. Hurry up, or we'll only have lunch," Su Bei urged Su Fan.
As soon as Su Fan heard about a meal, he quickly changed his clothes.
"Where are you two going?"
Su Yutong appeared at some point. When Su Fan opened the door, he saw Su Yutong standing outside, looking displeased.
"Going to eat. What's wrong?" Su Fan asked, confused about why Su Yutong was angry.
"You're not inviting me to eat? You two are getting closer and closer. You've been going out without telling me lately. Tell me, do you like men?" Su Yutong questioned Su Fan angrily.
"Get out of here. I'm as straight as they come, normal orientation!" Su Fan quickly explained. He couldn't tolerate any misunderstanding about his sexual orientation; he was a pure, straight man, the kind even a wrench couldn't bend!
"Then why didn't you invite me to eat!" Su Yutong actually wanted to say, "Then why don't you cherish the opportunities I give you, and you still say your orientation is normal!" but she swallowed the words.
"It's just a meal. Let's go, let's go. Su Bei is treating," Su Fan thought it was no big deal, just because of this?
The three of them went to the snack street and ate the famous xiaolongbao in the new city.
"By the way, what is Dongfang Tingyin doing?" Su Fan suddenly remembered Xu Tianming, Dongfang Tingyin's fiancé, whom he had met during the competition. Their relationship didn't seem very good, and he wondered if Xu Tianming had found Dongfang Tingyin.
"I'll ask."
Su Yutong made a call to Dongfang Tingyin.
After the phone rang for a long time, someone finally answered.
"Yutong, what's up?" Dongfang Tingyin asked Su Yutong.
"Nothing, are you free later? Let's eat together."
Su Yutong already knew that Su Bei had lost a bet and was treating Su Fan to a meal. Was she going to miss out on the opportunity to eat a big meal?
Facing Su Yutong, they said this, deliberately concealing matters of the ancient martial arts world from her.
Dongfang Tingyin was silent for a moment.
"Okay, I'll be there later."
"Yay!"
After hanging up the phone, Su Yutong made a 'V' sign and looked provocatively at Su Bei.
Since Su Bei was treating, Su Yutong was not polite at all, even spending over a hundred yuan on breakfast.
By noon, the three of them met Dongfang Tingyin.
Dongfang Tingyin seemed unenthusiastic, as if she had something on her mind.
"Cousin, what's wrong?" Su Yutong, being a girl with a delicate mind, quickly noticed Dongfang Tingyin's unusual behavior.
"It's nothing," Dongfang Tingyin forced a smile and said, not intending to tell them.
It was clear that Dongfang Tingyin was not fine.
"If something is bothering you, tell us. Maybe we can help. Three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang," Su Fan joked, trying to lighten the heavy atmosphere.
Everyone could see that Dongfang Tingyin had something on her mind, but it might be a private matter that she couldn't share.
"It's okay, don't worry," Dongfang Tingyin finally managed a genuine smile.
"Waiter, order the dishes."
Su Fan called the waiter to order.
"Cucumber salad, peanuts, cold dishes, and this, this, that should be enough."
Su Fan casually ordered a few of the cheaper dishes on the menu.
"Brother Fan, you don't need to save money for me. Order whatever you want," Su Bei said generously to Su Fan. He had only ordered a few dishes, and there wasn't even any meat.
"Everything except these," Su Fan told the waiter.
Then he turned to Su Bei.
"What did you just say?"
Su Fan looked at Su Bei in confusion.
Su Bei's expression froze. You're still the best at playing the dog.
"And your drinks are too cheap. Go to the next door and bring me a bottle of Lafite '82. I don't care if it's real or not, I just want the expensive one," Su Fan continued to the waiter.
The waiter looked at Su Fan blankly, having forgotten to take Su Fan's order. He had never encountered a customer like Su Fan before.
"And this Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, boil the soup until it's dry. I don't like drinking soup," Su Fan said, pointing to the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall on the menu.
"Sir, we've never done that before," the waiter said with some difficulty.
"That's because I wasn't here. If I were, you would have done it that way. Alright, this is enough for me. You guys see what you want to eat," Su Fan said, handing the menu to Su Yutong and the other.
Su Bei's face was dark. He regretted offering to treat Su Fan to a meal.
Even Su Yutong looked a bit embarrassed at Su Fan. You've ordered all the dishes on the menu, what else do you want us to order?
"You've ordered enough for us to eat. That's it," Su Yutong refused to order and closed the menu.
"Us? I ordered these for myself. Aren't you hungry?" Su Fan asked strangely.
"That's enough. Is it necessary to order so much just for one meal? Can you even finish all this?" Su Bei couldn't hold back anymore. Su Fan was clearly trying to rip him off.
"A lot?" Su Fan looked at Su Bei strangely. He didn't think it was a lot at all. Since taking the attribute pills, Su Fan's appetite had been growing. Although these dishes were indeed a lot, the portions were small, with each dish being only a small plate. Therefore, Su Fan could guarantee that he could finish them.
"Not a lot. It's just enough to stuff a pig to death," Su Yutong said speechlessly.
She also felt Su Fan was going too far. What if all these dishes were wasted?
"Uh."
"If you're not hungry, then don't order. Anyway, I ordered these for myself," Su Fan was too lazy to explain.
"Fine! If you can't finish it today, you have to take it back with you, even if you have to stuff it in your pockets!" Su Bei said fiercely.
Su Fan wanted to rip him off, didn't he? Let's see who rips off whom in the end!
None of them ordered any more dishes. They wanted to see how Su Fan would eat so many dishes.
Su Fan reluctantly returned the menu to the waiter.
"Just these. Hurry up and serve the food."
Not long after, the dishes began to be served.
Su Fan's eyes lit up at the sight of the exquisite food before him. These were all delicious and rare ingredients, not only good-looking but also, most importantly, expensive.
"I won't be polite," Su Fan said, rubbing his hands.
"Hurry up. I want to see how you eat all this," Su Bei said with a cold smile, waiting to see Su Fan make a fool of himself.
There were over twenty dishes on this table, plus two large bowls of nourishing soup. Su Fan couldn't possibly fit all this, even if he cut his stomach open.
Under the amused gazes of the three, Su Fan began his performance.
Their expressions shifted from sneering to serious, and finally to shock.
