“Do you think I should go and ask her?” Ling Hong had a favorable impression of this woman .

“Hey, why do you have good feelings for her again?” Wu Hai stroked his small mustaches and revealed a manner of disdain .

No wonder Wu Hai said so . After all, Ling Hong always had good feelings toward girls who were beautiful and conformed to his requirements .

“Uh-huh . ” Ling Hong snorted with an indistinct meaning .

“You are really a stud horse . ” Wu Hai thought of his own sister’s words and immediately used it to describe Ling Hong .

“Hello . ” Ling Hong didn’t hear Wu Hai as he had approached the girl that had just barely entered the restaurant .

Ling Hong didn’t ask that way due to Wu Hai’s suggestion, he just said that casually . It could be considered to be an announcement that he would be approaching her with intentions . Therefore, Wu Hai didn’t really answer him straightforwardly .

“Slurp slurp . ” The woman just chewed silently as if she didn’t hear anything .

“Why do you eat plain white rice only?” Ling Hong wasn’t a person that tended to give up so easily, not to mention this person was just seated beside him .

“Um? Are you asking me?” Then, the woman finally had reactions . She looked at Ling Hong with puzzlement .

“Exactly . After all, there’s only one beauty beside me right now . And I only talk to beautiful woman . ” Ling Hong smiled and said confidently .

In the movie Days of Being Wild, Leslie Cheung managed to date the goddess Maggie Cheung with the same line within one minute . However, this ploy only applied to the handsome guys .

The main point wasn’t the plot, but the single word of “handsome” . Ling Hong felt he lived up to that word . For example, the words would contrarily sound obscene if spoken by others .

Nevertheless, Ling Hong had a bright and handsome appearance and, moreover, was dressed in branded clothes, which made him appear like a second-generation tycoon who needed a beating . Of course, the latter sentence was said by Wu Hai .

Therefore, the woman really answered him as expected .

“I don’t need to report to you what I eat . ” The woman confirmed that Ling Hong was talking to her and then said immediately .

Although she said that with a seemingly courteous manner, her wording was actually pretty impolite .

“Of course, you don’t . I’m just asking casually . ” Ling Hong shrugged his shoulders and didn’t care about that .

“Um . ” The woman nodded her head and then lowered her head to continue her meal .

“What I mean is that if you can’t afford the meal, I can buy you a serving of the dish, for example, the Tremella worth 1 RMB . ” Ling Hong said with a big smile .

“No need . ” The woman refused him cleanly .

“Alright . ” Ling Hong shrugged and revealed an indifferent manner .

“Woahhh . Handsome Ling, even you could be refused by others?” Wu Hai laughed at him .

“It can’t be helped . After all, not everyone is qualified to appreciate my charm . ” Ling Hong said naturally .

“This woman has a good upbringing . If it was some other hot-tempered girl, you’ll definitely be beaten to death . ” Wu Hai said without hesitation .

“Impossible . That kind of tragedy only happens to you . ” Ling Hong smiled with malicious intentions and then said affirmatively .

Speaking of which, these two people had too many old scores . As a man who had lots of girlfriends, Ling Hong had been mocking at Wu Hai ever since the moment he knew Wu Hai had no girlfriend .

Originally, Ling Hong could laugh at Yuan Zhou from time to time . However, since Yuan Zhou’s craftsmanship became better and better, Ling Hong didn’t do it anymore . He always adhered to the principle of “Those who suit their actions to the time are wise” .

After all, Yuan Zhou had a hold on his stomach . It was fairly sufficient to mock Wu Hai and have some fun .

However, Wu Hai wasn’t a person who could suffer losses and thus it was inevitable to take score .

“Ahem . Let’s stop talking about this . Do you know why this person eats plain white rice every time?” When Ling Hong found Wu Hai was about to lose temper, he immediately changed the subject .

“I’m not a guy that gossips . ” Wu Hai snorted coldly .

“We are not gossiping . Think . Even when you want to paint, you need the models and you definitely need to know about her if you want to draw her image . Only that way, the painting can display the spirit of the person . ” Ling Hong continued to bamboozle Wu Hai primly .

“That indeed makes some sense . ” While stroking his small mustaches, Wu Hai turned his head and looked at the woman who was immersed in the meal .

“Of course . Just because I don’t paint doesn’t mean I don’t understand paintings . ” Ling Hong said with great confidence .

“He’s so easy to lie to . ” Looking at Wu Hai who was thinking at the side, Yuan Zhou sighed with emotion in his heart .

“There seem to be fewer and fewer men who have a high IQ and wonderful craftsmanship like me . ” Yuan Zhou set down the dinner plate and thought very seriously .

As the center of the topic, the woman didn’t care about them at all . She was still eating the plain white rice in the bowl one mouthful after another as if it were a heavenly delicacy and anything else wasn’t worth mentioning .

The rice used by Yuan Zhou was all tribute rice . The rice particles were crystal clear and bewitchingly fragrant . It tasted neither too hard, nor too soft and carried a slightly sticky texture . But that wasn’t the reason why this woman ate so seriously, either .

If she lifted up her long hair, others could see her tears dropping into the bowl from her eyes slowly while she was eating . But her expression changed from the grievance, sadness and sorrow to peacefulness slowly .

And that was also the reason why she could answer Ling Hong with a normal tone .

Dishes in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant were not only delicious but also exquisite . Therefore, the bowl of rice would be eaten up even if the woman ate slowly .

At the other side, Ling Hong who liked gossiping and Wu Hai who liked studying things were still guessing about the woman .

“I think it should be the matter of price . ” Wu Hai thought for quite a while and said earnestly .

“No, I don’t think so . She is wearing Girdear brand clothes . Such kind of clothes are worth approximately 700 to 800RMB per piece and 2000 to 3000RMB is also a very common price for a coat . So there should be no problem for her to spend 200 or 300RMB on a meal . ” Ling Hong distinguished the brand of her clothes immediately .

This was one of the advantages of him having many girlfriends . He could distinguish the brands of the woman’s clothes very easily at first glance .

“If so, it must be because she indeed likes it . ” Wu Hai thought for a while and had only to say so .

“Please, be imaginative . ” Ling Hong frowned .

“I don’t know . ” Wu Hai indicated that he wasn’t good at gossiping and thus he couldn’t think of the reason .

“It might be because of a poignant love that made her choose the plain white rice . ” Ling Hong said with a meaningful expression .

“She did nothing but eat the plain white rice . I think you are thinking too much . ” Wu Hai directly became speechless .

“Oh . Forget it . It’s better to have some suspense . ” Ling Hong always had a brief period of enthusiasm . Seeing Wu Hai unable to guess the right answer, he no longer intended to say anything .

“Um . Let’s not affect others eating . ” Wu Hai nodded his head approvingly .

Then, the two people just continued to eat the delicacies as if nothing had happened . Their intentions of gossiping arrived fast and left quickly .

Having finished the meal, the woman set down the chopsticks silently and then drank up that cup of clean water . In the end, she ate a piece of after-meal candy . After that, the bland sugar taste pervaded in her mouth .

“Ta Ta Ta”, the woman stood up and walked away like that .

When she walked to the door, she looked at the tiny restaurant without even a shop sign and suddenly said softly, “How nice . Please keep continuing doing business . “

“This place is like my shell . A place that I can stay in when I’m sad . How nice!”

It was said so softly that even Yuan Zhou, who had unusually sharp ears, didn’t hear that .

In the restaurant, however, Ling Hong was still speculating about the reason .
