Chapter 745: Chapter 743: True Face 4_1

She just remembered that she had almost spent all of her pocket money for the month.

Ah!

If she had known today would come, she would have tightened her belt and saved up!

Unfortunately, there are no ifs!

"It’s no trouble, I’ll treat," Xu Zeming said with a smile, assuredly.

The reason he insisted was not only because he didn’t like girls paying, but more importantly, he always remembered how she had stayed up late to write a speech for him, and ended up fainting as a result.

Because of that incident, her face would occasionally surface in his mind.

It seemed that he felt guilty towards her.

Therefore, he wanted to make amends quickly to restore the peace to his heart and to stop her face from appearing again.

Otherwise, it was very bothersome!

It always distracted him, and a few times he had even been killed in games because he suddenly thought of her!

However, Muxia still didn’t want him to pay, so she kept giving Jiang Qingchen significant looks.

"I don’t have much pocket money left for the month either," Jiang Qingchen said helplessly, spreading his hands as if it really were the case.

Even if treating her to a meal meant going bankrupt, it wouldn’t matter.

But treating the wild man she had a crush on, ha, impossible!

Muxia’s little face instantly fell.

Xu Zeming repeated once more, "Junior sister, let me be the host."

"Then senior brother, you are too kind... Next time I will definitely treat you to a meal!" To ensure the meal could go on, Muxia stopped arguing.

And besides, if he treated her to a meal this time, then she could invite him back next time!

That would be another opportunity for contact!

How wonderful!

Muxia asked with renewed enthusiasm, "Which restaurant shall we go to?"

"How about the new one next to the school?" Xu Zeming asked with a curved lip, smiling.

He’d heard they had a lot of desserts there, and thought a soft, doughy girl like her would enjoy them.

He was her crush, so naturally Muxia tagged along with his suggestion, agreeing immediately, "Okay, no problem with me."

"And you, Qingchen?" Of course, Muxia hadn’t forgotten her big bro.

Jiang Qingchen huffed, "Anything is fine."

After all, as long as he could be with her, even eating radishes and pickles would make him happy!

Moreover, the reason he wanted this meal was not really for the food, but simply because he didn’t want to leave them alone together!

Seeing everyone agree, Muxia happily clapped her hands, "Then it’s happily decided, let’s meet at the parking lot after school."

She was clearly thrilled about this meal, speaking with vibrant energy, her eyes shimmering with excitement.

"No problem," Xu Zeming said.

Jiang Qingchen also nodded, "Fine."

As soon as the school bell rang, the three of them headed toward the restaurant.

Upon arrival, they were respectfully greeted by a waiter, "Welcome."

Guided by the waiter to a four-seater table, he considerately pulled out chairs for them and presented the menu, "Here’s the menu, please take your time."

After Xu Zeming took the menu, he handed it to Muxia, "Ladies first, Muxia, you order first."

His voice was gentle, and his smile filled with warmth.

With a blushing face, Muxia demurred, "You’re the host today, senior, you should order."

"No need to be so polite..."

Watching the two of them politely refusing back and forth, Jiang Qingchen couldn’t help but snort coldly and snatched the menu, "You two keep at it, I’ll order first."

Muxia: "..."

Xu Zeming: "..."

Jiang Qingchen flipped through the menu, glanced at it, and began to pick out the most expensive items, "...xxx"

One after another, names of dishes leapt from his mouth.

Muxia was listening while glancing at the menu. When she saw the prices, she couldn’t help but furrow her brows and tugged at his sleeve under the table, "Qingchen, what you’re ordering is too expensive, please, show some mercy!"

This meal is going to cost at least two or three thousand yuan.

What if the senior can’t afford it when it’s time to pay?

Or what if he can afford it, but what if the money was hard-saved from economizing for a long time?

She shouldn’t have persuaded him. Once she did, the sour bubbles in Jiang Qingchen’s chest started to bubble up again.

This kid, she really does care about him!

Jiang Qingchen’s fingers involuntarily clenched, turmoil swirling in his heart, yet his face remained calm as the sea, "Do you mind that I’m ordering expensive dishes?"

He asked Xu Zeming with a nonchalant tone.

"Of course I don’t mind, suit yourself," Xu Zeming chuckled as he shrugged his shoulders. He truly considered him a friend, a brother, and besides, being from a wealthy family, how could he possibly be stingy?

"Did you hear that?" Jiang Qingchen shot a look at Muxia.

Muxia: "..."

Show off!

The senior obviously just didn’t want to refuse you!

But Muxia couldn’t just reject the senior’s face, so she could only suffer in silence without saying anything, her mouth turning down severely.

She didn’t realize that most of the stuff Jiang Qingchen had ordered were her favorites.

"I’ve finished ordering," Jiang Qingchen said after ordering, then casually handed the menu to Muxia.

Muxia glared at him but didn’t take it: "You’ve ordered so much just now, I won’t order anything more, it’s enough."

"I won’t order either," Xu Zeming added.

Hearing this, Muxia let out a sigh in her heart.

As expected, the senior really doesn’t have much money.

Otherwise, why would he not even order anything when he’s the host?

Sigh!

Poor Jiang Qingchen, he’s slaughtered someone for such a big bill.

The more Muxia thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt.

No, she had to find a way to help the senior.

Otherwise, how embarrassing would it be if he couldn’t pay when the time came!

He might even vent his anger on her since it was her dreadful idea to eat together!

Xu Zeming, fortunately unaware of her thoughts, would’ve surely died laughing if he knew.

The reason he didn’t order wasn’t because he lacked money; it was just that this restaurant’s taste tended to be sweet, which really didn’t suit him, that’s all.

The waiter quickly served the desserts and other dishes.

But Muxia had no appetite and listlessly took a few bites before making an excuse about her stomach hurting.

"I feel a bit unwell, I’ll go to the restroom," she said as she rose from her seat.

"Uncomfortable? How are you uncomfortable? Where does it hurt?" Jiang Qingchen immediately frowned, anxiously looking at her as if she were a treasure that couldn’t bear the slightest damage.

"Is it serious? Do you need to go to the hospital?" Xu Zeming followed up.

But his concern was obviously not very sincere, just a casual mention.

Muxia quickly shook her head, "No, no, I just, just need to pee, that’s all."

The girl said in a low voice, her face red with embarrassment.

Really, she should have known not to use this excuse, it’s so embarrassing!

Her mind, oh her mind!

Muxia kept lamenting in her heart.

Upon hearing this, Xu Zeming suddenly coughed twice, feeling awkward, "Then you better go."

"Um..." Muxia’s face turned even redder, and she almost flew out of her seat, as if there were wolves chasing her from behind.
