Chapter 463 - 464: Is It Delicious?

Chapter 463: Chapter 464: Is It Delicious?


"Get up, get up," Shi Mei hooked his arm, "otherwise you’ll be treating us to a meal soon."


"Fine, I will. I can’t walk anymore!" Tang Jingming had a defeated look about him.


"In that case..." Shi Mei giggled, "I want a seafood feast, from Shengshan Platform’s seafood no less."


The cost of living in Imperial City is especially high, and Shengshan Platform’s dining cost is among the highest in the capital.


The dishes there are very refined, and to satisfy everyone’s appetite, it will definitely cost a pretty penny.


"Come on, don’t go overboard!" Tang Jingming exploded, "That’s not a place to eat; it’s a place to take pictures and show off!"


"But since it’s on your tab, taking a pic and showing off isn’t too bad," Shi Mei pretended to be serious, "and I don’t eat much anyway. But you need to watch out for Shi Lingyan and Officer Gao, they look like they can eat a lot."


Tang Jingming felt her manner of speaking was incredibly familiar, and he unconsciously leaned closer to her, "No, not Shengshan Platform, it’s too expensive."


"Then show some spirit," Shi Mei whispered, "Have Shi Lingyan pay, he’s rich anyway."


Tang Jingming thought it made sense but as he looked up, not to mention Shi Lingyan and Gao Lian, even Ye Tiao was nowhere to be seen, "Damn, where are they?"


"They ran away~"


"Then let’s hurry!" Tang Jingming quickly stood up, grabbing Shi Mei and started striding ahead energetically.


Shi Mei smiled, "Slow down, or you’ll be knocked out again."


"Okay, let’s go!" Tang Jingming waved at her.


Shi Mei felt helpless, quickly catching up, "Pace yourself, don’t run out of breath later!"


"..."


In the end, Shi Mei and Tang Jingming truly couldn’t walk anymore. After deliberating, they simply took the cable car down the mountain.


The cool breeze on their faces was incredibly refreshing, and Shi Mei felt an indescribable relaxation.


After descending the mountain, Gao Lian, Shi Lingyan, and Ye Tiao still hadn’t come down.


The two found a place to sit, and as they were sitting, Shi Mei asked, "Do you fancy some ice cream?"


Tang Jingming: "Yeah, sure, I’d also like a hot dog..."


"Let’s go!"


"Alright!"


...


When Gao Lian found them, he saw Tang Jingming and Shi Mei licking ice cream and munching on hotdogs, chatting about something. Shi Mei held an ice cream in one hand and a hotdog in the other, laughing so hard she was almost in tears.


Tang Jingming looked gloomy, "How the hell did you find out about that, what has that idiot Ye Tiao been telling you..."


Seeing Gao Lian arrive, Tang Jingming in frustration took a big bite of his hotdog and asked, "Where’s Brother Shi?"


Shi Lingyan followed behind Gao Lian and his gaze immediately fell on Shi Mei’s delicate and fair smiling face, especially vibrant amidst the antique pavilion.


It was his first time seeing Shi Mei with such a smile.


A smile that was completely relaxed, cheerful, without a hint of guard, a joy that came from within.


Shi Mei laughed, catching a glimpse of them from the corner of her eye, she finally managed to suppress her laughter and looked down to find the ice cream had dripped a few drops onto the ground.


She quickly licked the ice cream and asked, "Hand me a tissue."


Tang Jingming freed one hand to put down his backpack and search for tissues, swiftly pulling out a pack and handing it to her.


Shi Mei, with her hands full, naturally handed her things to Shi Lingyan, who had just approached, "Hold these."


Her movement was fluid, without even an ounce of formality or awkwardness.


Shi Lingyan instinctively reached out to catch them, and in the next instant, Shi Mei had already naturally taken a tissue out, wiped her hands, and then squatted down.


Shi Lingyan looked at her and then at the half-eaten hotdog in his hand, and he took a bite without hesitation.


Tang Jingming’s eyes widened and asked, "Tasty?"


Shi Lingyan shook his head, "Not really."
