Chapter 285 is a good person
"...I'll introduce you to...a male escort!"
"A gigolo?!" Fat Tiger shouted.
"Cowherd, that...that's just being a gigolo? Being a gigolo...I...I'm afraid I can't handle it!"
"Hahaha!" Ma Junjie patted Pang Hu's head.
He laughed.
"Fat Tiger, you should do less manual labor in the future, otherwise, even if I gave you a rich woman, you wouldn't be able to handle her. Take care of yourself."
Fat Tiger scratched his head awkwardly, looking somewhat embarrassed.
Ma Junjie shook his head.
"Alright, let's go inside and eat!"
Li Xuemei listened from the side, completely baffled and utterly confused.
As Ma Junjie passed by, she walked up to him and asked curiously,
"Brother Jie, what do you mean by 'gigolo'?"
"And also, being a male prostitute, how can you not handle it?"
Ma Junjie almost burst out laughing when he heard that.
Finally, he said mysteriously.
"Xuemei, it's better if you don't know about these things. Anyway, they're not good things..."
Before he could finish speaking, a hearty laugh suddenly erupted from inside the restaurant.
"What, you guys want to eat duck today?"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked up and saw that it was the proprietress, Li Yuanyuan, who had come out.
Ma Junjie was taken aback and suppressed a laugh.
He greeted them.
"Sister Yuanyuan, it's been a long time!"
"That's right, we are indeed hungry, let's eat."
Li Yuanyuan glanced at Ma Junjie, then at Li Xuemei beside her.
He said with a smile,
"Ah Jie, you seem to have a lot of luck with women. How come you've got a new one by your side again?"
Upon hearing this, Ma Junjie panicked and quickly explained.
"Sister Yuan, don't talk nonsense!"
"This is Li Xuemei, my former colleague and good friend at Xingda Toy Factory, we..."
"Alright, alright, no need to say any more." Li Yuanyuan raised her hand to interrupt Ma Junjie.
"Come in, guests are welcome, please come in and have a seat."
Ma Junjie was momentarily embarrassed, sighed, and said...
"Okay, let's all go in!"
"Xuemei, this is Sister Yuan, the owner of this restaurant. Their dishes are delicious, affordable, and authentic."
For some reason, Li Xuemei suddenly seemed a bit depressed, her face drooping and she looking unhappy.
She nodded casually.
Then he took a step and went inside.
"Xuemei...you..." Ma Junjie hesitated, unable to finish his sentence.
Fat Tiger walked up and patted Ma Junjie on the shoulder.
He grinned slyly.
"Brother Jie, I think I should take it easy... and you... hehe, you should take it easy on your kidneys!"
After saying that, Fat Tiger laughed and left.
After a while, the group arrived at the restaurant, found a table, and sat down. Li Yuanyuan came over to order the food.
"Ah Jie, what would you like to eat?"
"It's peak dinner time now, you'd better hurry up."
Ma Junjie grunted in agreement and quickly glanced at the menu.
After a few seconds, he looked up at Li Xuemei and asked,
"Xuemei, is there anything you don't want to eat, or anything you really want to eat? Tell me!"
Li Xuemei shook her head and answered them one by one.
"I'm not a picky eater, and there's nothing I particularly crave."
Fat Tiger grinned and stretched out one hand, saying anxiously,
"Brother Jie, I think..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ma Junjie raised his hand to interrupt him.
"Gian, forget about it!"
Ma Junjie looked up at Li Yuanyuan and said,
"Sister Yuan, let's do it this way. You can cook whatever you like, and just make a few special dishes for the three of us, whatever is convenient for you."
Li Yuanyuan snapped the booklet containing the registration menu shut.
Yingdao,
"Okay, that makes things simple!"
"You lot, just you wait!"
Ma Junjie laughed,
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Sister Yuan!"
Li Yuanyuan turned and left, immediately going to another table to order food for others.
Gian didn't care; as long as there was food, that was enough for him.
He said with emotion,
"Brother Jie, Sister Yuan's restaurant is doing really well!"
"And Sister Yuan is truly capable; she manages the restaurant all by herself, keeping everything in perfect order—she's better than many men!"
"Oh, by the way, Brother Jie, did you say Sister Yuan got married? I haven't seen any of her family."
Ma Junjie picked up his teacup and took a sip of water.
He rebuked,
"Fat Tiger, don't pry into other people's private affairs."
"You need to worry more about yourself."
"You've been working away from home for so many years, and you're still all alone. You haven't even brought a girlfriend back home. Your parents must be worried sick!"
Fat Tiger also picked up his teacup and gulped it down in one go.
He said it without a care in the world.
"Brother Jie, my parents have already come to terms with it."
"They've lost hope in me, and now they're pinning all their hopes on my sister."
"Your sister?" Ma Junjie asked, puzzled.
"Gian, so you have a younger sister? How old is she?"
Fat Tiger thought for a moment and answered.
"I think I'll be around 20 years old this year, and I'm a university student!"
"Wow!" Ma Junjie exclaimed, teasingly.
"Gian, if I were your parents, I would also choose your sister."
Fat Tiger took it all in stride, not caring at all, and said...
"That's normal, I can understand. Who told me to be a slacker from birth, and to this day, I'm still living a slacker-like life!"
Seeing that Pang Hu was a bit dejected, Ma Junjie comforted him.
"Fat Tiger, that's not how it works. Everyone has their strengths, it's just that your strengths haven't been discovered yet."
"Fat Tiger, when are you free to bring Xue Mei and me to your house for a visit?"
Fat Tiger's eyes lit up, and he readily agreed.
"Sure!"
"Xuemei, let's go together!"
Li Xuemei looked at Pang Hu and nodded.
"Sure, as long as it's not too far. If it's too far, I won't go."
When Fat Tiger heard Li Xuemei's affirmative answer, he beamed with joy, his happiness visibly evident.
"Xuemei, my home isn't far away."
"My parents are in Chang'an right now. It takes them at most an hour by bus, and less than an hour if they drive themselves!"
Seeing that Pang Hu was quite enthusiastic, Ma Junjie smiled and echoed,
"Okay, it's not far!"
"I'll drive there then!"
"Fat Tiger, remember to ask your parents to kill a chicken for us to eat!"
"Of course!" Fat Tiger replied immediately.
"As long as you go, I'll kill you anything, not just chickens, but even a sheep."
"Hahaha!" The group burst into laughter.
As they chatted, Li Xuemei brought out the dishes.
"Excuse me, make way, make way, the food's here!"
The group was surprised. Fat Tiger looked up and asked,
"Sister Yuan, how did you get here so fast?"
Li Yuanyuan shushed her.
"Keep your voices down, I let you cut in line."
"Huh?" Everyone looked surprised, not expecting Li Yuanyuan to be such a kind person.
By this time, the guests at the other tables were getting impatient.
Shout at Li Yuanyuan,
"Boss, hurry up and bring the food! We're leaving if you don't bring it soon!"
"Coming, coming!" Li Yuanyuan shouted.
Then, after putting down the dishes, he winked at Ma Junjie and the others, and said with a smile in a low voice,
"You guys eat first, I'll bring more over later!"
After saying that, Li Yuanyuan turned and ran towards the kitchen.
Looking at the dishes on the table, Li Xuemei sighed.
"Brother Jie, Sister Yuan is a good person."
Ma Junjie responded with an "Mmm."
"Yes, she's like an older sister to me."
Fat Tiger's eyes lit up when he saw the food; he couldn't contain himself any longer and picked up his chopsticks to start eating.
"Brother Jie, Xuemei, eat quickly, eat quickly!"
Ma Junjie snapped out of his daze and urged Li Xuemei to hurry up.
"Xuemei, let's get started!"
"Try it and see if it suits your taste."
Li Xuemei didn't hold back and started fighting.
They ate for about forty minutes, and by then the three of them had almost finished eating.
Not far away, Li Yuanyuan was still busy at work.
Li Xuemei said,
"Brother Jie, why don't we leave first? We're taking up the table and affecting Sister Yuan's business."
Ma Junjie was somewhat surprised, thinking that Li Yuanyuan was being incredibly thoughtful and considerate.
He stood up and went to find Li Yuanyuan to settle the bill.
After paying the bill, the group left the restaurant.
Fat Tiger patted his bulging belly and said,
"Brother Jie, don't drive me. I'll walk home."
Ma Junjie clicked his tongue.
"Fat Tiger, you wish! I wasn't planning on giving you a ride. You'd better get out of here!"
Fat Tiger chuckled and prepared to leave.
Li Xuemei looked at Ma Junjie and whispered.
"Brother Jie, thank you for treating me to dinner. Goodbye."
Before Ma Junjie could respond, Li Xuemei turned and left.
"What a strange person!" Ma Junjie muttered to himself, puzzled, as he watched Li Xuemei's retreating figure.
Ma Junjie got into the car, drove back to the apartment building.
I parked the car, took the keys, and went upstairs.
After climbing all the way to his sixth-floor apartment, Ma Junjie was a little tired. He rested for a bit, then took out his keys to open the door.
With a "click," the door opened.
Looking inside,
With a deafening boom, Ma Junjie was instantly struck by lightning and froze on the spot—
The lights were on in the room.
Faintly, I could hear people talking in the bedroom...
