At that mont, the manager was completely astonished! He simply couldn’t let Tang Ming continue eating like this, but before the manager could speak, Tang Ming approached him first.
"You’re the manager, right?"
Tang Ming glanced at the na tag hanging on the manager’s uniform and asked, "Do you still have seafood?"
"Seafood?"
The manager shook his head, his face twisted in distress, and said,
"Kid, you’ve eaten so much, aren’t you full yet?"
"Not yet, if you could serve so lobster, that would be just about right."
Tang Ming said, rubbing his stomach.
"Not full yet?"
The manager, on the verge of tears, thought to himself, what is this guy made of? He’s eaten so much without bursting his stomach. With a mournful expression, he said, "We don’t have any seafood left today; you’ve eaten it all yourself."
"All gone?"
Tang Ming thought for a mont and said, "Then I’ll go for so desserts or sothing."
"What?"
The manager quickly grabbed Tang Ming with both hands and said, "Kid, how about this, stop eating, and I’ll waive your bill today. You won’t have to pay for what you’ve eaten."
"My al is free? That’s great?"
Tang Ming was overjoyed, and just then, Li Xiaoli and Liu ngting, who were also full, ca over. They thought Tang Ming had been scolded for eating too much, but when they heard it was free, the two girls were also delighted.
"But I ca here with them."
Tang Ming pointed to Liu ngting and said.
The manager thought it over and conceded, letting this guy continue to eat would cost him even more, and since the al was on the house this ti, he probably wouldn’t have the face to co dine again. It was just a stroke of bad luck.
"Okay, all three of you can eat for free, just please don’t co back to eat again."
The manager felt a twinge of pain inside, unsure of how he was going to explain today’s sales to the boss.
"Wow, we can eat for free, too!"
Li Xiaoli clapped her hands in excitent: "Brother Tang Ming is aweso, just a few words and we don’t have to pay!"
Liu ngting knew that if Tang Ming hadn’t eaten so much, they would never have gotten a free al. But could this be considered a blessing in disguise?
"Thanks a lot, manager."
Tang Ming put down his plate and left the restaurant with Liu ngting.
The three of them went outside to get their car, and Li Xiaoli reminisced, "It seems there are real benefits to going out to eat with Brother Tang Ming, we even got a free al! Maybe we should co again next ti; the food here is pretty good."
Liu ngting glared at Li Xiaoli and said, "Maybe we shouldn’t co back. My dad knows the owner of this restaurant; it would be too embarrassing if we eat like this again."
Tang Ming didn’t care; he had eaten his fill this ti, had enough seafood, and even treated them. He had paid his dues, and most importantly, he hadn’t spent a penny. He really didn’t know how to describe his luck and feelings!
As for others calling him a big eater, let them talk. That’s just envy, jealousy, and hatred.
The three got into the car; this ti, Tang Ming took the driver’s seat directly, not letting Li Xiaoli drive lest she take everyone straight into a ditch, causing a traffic accident that would give Lin Xue a big headache.
"Since sister ng ng said she knows the owner, we shouldn’t co here anymore. Next ti, let’s find another place. With brother Tang Ming with us, we can eat big als without paying a cent."
Li Xiaoli said excitedly, raising her hands.
Liu ngting laughed cheerfully, and Tang Ming, who was driving, also started laughing.
The next day, after having their fill and sleeping soundly, Liu ngting and Li Xiaoli resud their school life, and Tang Ming started to protect them closely, fearing that sothing unexpected might happen again.
Upon arriving at the school gate, Tang Ming noticed a few students who seed off and imdiately said, "Wait, don’t go in yet; I’ll check it out."
Having said that, Tang Ming entered the school first, scrutinizing those students carefully. After confirming there was no problem, he let Liu ngting and the other enter the school.
These students were small-ti troublemakers, known for snatching small amounts of money. But before characters like Monkey and Xiao Jun, they were ’big brothers.’ They recognized Tang Ming and knew he was a tough guy who could punch out flies and step on Ma Gangqiang, so no one dared to ss with him.
Seeing Tang Ming, they quickly scattered.
Liu ngting didn’t say anything, but she felt that Tang Ming was making a big fuss. On the other hand, Li Xiaoli straightforwardly said, "Brother Tang Ming, can you relax a little? We’re already at school; just take it easy."
"I can’t. If it weren’t for my negligence last ti, you wouldn’t have been kidnapped by Dead Fly."
Tang Ming had just started speaking...
Li Xiaoli quickly covered his mouth with her hand, whispering nervously, "Brother Tang Ming, didn’t we agree at ho not to talk about this?"
"Oh, I forgot."
Tang Ming said a bit awkwardly.
They agreed at ho that the kidnapping incident couldn’t be ntioned to anyone else, including the talkative Zhou Youfu, because he couldn’t keep a secret. If the word got out that Liu ngting and Li Xiaoli had been kidnapped by Chen Cang, their reputations would be ruined; even diving into the Yellow River wouldn’t wash them clean, so the three unanimously decided this matter must absolutely stay secret.
Especially for Li Xiaoli, who was extrely concerned about face. Being kidnapped was a highly embarrassing ordeal!
"Rember this at all costs."
Li Xiaoli reminded, then walked into the academic building.
The three reached their classroom, stumbled through the morning self-study, and then Chubby turned to Tang Ming sitting behind him and asked, "Brother Ming, why weren’t you at class yesterday?"
"I was busy with sothing."
Tang Ming answered offhand.
"Oh, Brother Ming, the sports festival is coming up soon. Are you interested in participating?"
Chubby took out a sandwich from his drawer and handed one to Tang Ming as he asked.
Since he no longer had to pay protection money, Chubby always had money on him. Originally from a well-off family, he used to be bullied into giving money to Chen Cang and his gang. Now, without having to pay a penny, he was quite well-off and bought breakfast for Tang Ming every day.
Tang Ming, chewing on his sandwich, shook his head and said, "I’m not interested."
After the morning break ended, their horoom teacher, who was over forty years old and wore glasses, a real nice guy who wasn’t too strict with the students, began the first class. He was quite popular in their class, Senior Three Class Five.
After finishing the class, the horoom teacher said,
"The sports festival is coming up soon. Although our class isn’t particularly good at sports, you are all senior three students, and this sports festival will be your last at Tianjiao High School. So, I hope everyone participates actively. First, for the honor of the class, and second, to leave everyone with great mories."
Upon hearing this, the students below started whispering to each other like boiling dumplings, discussing animatedly.
