"Alright, stop staring. You might disturb the young lady if you keep looking. Get to work now, and if you keep standing here, I can’t promise you won’t lose your job."
The manager said, quickly sending the young attendant off to work. If she kept staring at the young lady, she would certainly feel awkward. After all, the young lady had gone incognito to enjoy this bit of romance.
Having worked here for many years, the manager was quite knowledgeable about couples, and sincerely wished the young lady well.
anwhile, Xu Ke and Xiao Keyi were queuing up, not really bored, chatting about Xiao Keyi’s university days, which made her particularly happy.
"You know, back then, the girls in my dorm thought I was just an ordinary student, so they took special care of , always keeping in mind when there was sothing delicious. I was low-key then, and my attire was rather casual, so we got along really well."
Thinking about her roommates, Xiao Keyi felt a bit nostalgic. Her university classmates were genuine, simply wanting to be friends, unlike now.
"Nowadays, everyone has their thoughts, and who doesn’t have their little calculations? How could they genuinely get along with for real friendship?"
Xiao Keyi said with so distress. Who wouldn’t want a close friend? But now, in the workplace, everyone knows she’s the heir to the Xiao Group, with a prestigious status.
Every ti soone approaches her, it’s to curry favor. How could anyone offer her genuine friendship?
Xu Ke knew how troubled Xiao Keyi felt. It’s the plight of the wealthy; finding real friends is difficult. These wealthy kids might not be as happy as they appear, yearning for heartfelt friendships, yet despising those without interesting souls.
With everyone having their motives, friendships can’t attain the beautiful ideal everyone has for them.
"Don’t worry, you’ll definitely make good friends; besides, you’re still young, so why worry?"
Xiao Keyi thought, indeed, he’s friends with Jiang Na, their friendship remains even after leaving university, and they still have connections, so she wasn’t that sad thinking about it.
"By the way, why haven’t I heard you talk about your past? I’m really curious about what you were like before. Sorry, if I’d known, I would’ve been with you earlier and spared you the hardships."
Although Xiao Keyi felt a bit regretful, if she’d t Xu Ke earlier, maybe they would’ve been together sooner, without missing out on each other and without so many misunderstandings.
"Alright, etings between people are destined. There’s neither need for haste nor delay; the timing is just right, isn’t it? Besides, my past isn’t worth talking about."
Without a learned grandfather, his knowledge was self-taught. If he told Xiao Keyi, even he couldn’t figure out why he turned out the way he did.
Realizing Xu Ke was unwilling to talk about the past, Xiao Keyi thought he might have grievances from earlier days, and didn’t press him further.
Clearly, Xu Ke didn’t have a pleasant past, or he’d speak about it. Feeling a bit guilty, why did she bring it up? It hurt the one she loved.
"Stop overthinking. I don’t ntion the past because we’re looking forward to the future and shouldn’t dwell on the past."
Hearing this, Xiao Keyi felt imnsely sweet and didn’t pursue it further.
Looking at the number in their hands, there were still five or six tables ahead, aning a few hours wait.
The manager initially wanted to rearrange things, but seeing the couple was happy, he left them alone, peacefully queuing.
Finally, the five or six tables cleared up, and it was their turn. Xiao Keyi sighed; it truly felt like university days, though queuing wasn’t as pleasant, yet sohow happier back then.
Looking at the people behind, Xiao Keyi’s heart overflowed with sweetness. Perhaps this was true happiness, being with soone she loved, no matter what they did.
"Alright, let’s head in. There are loads of people behind us. I didn’t expect University City to be so popular. Just slling the aroma is making hungry."
Upon hearing Xu Ke, Xiao Keyi felt proud, her University City worthy of boasting. Coming here was fate, too.
"Back then, I had a wish to have hot pot with soone I loved. I didn’t expect it to be fulfilled so soon; it happened rather quickly."
"I used to envy those who could enjoy romance and hot pot together. Now, I get to be envied."
Xu Ke thought such an excellent young lady like Xiao Keyi likely dated many in university, but surprisingly, she remained principled and didn’t date at all, proving her to be a truly innocent girl.
"Rest assured, you won’t miss any romance others have in the future."
Xu Ke’s words made Xiao Keyi blush; unexpectedly, his straightforward confession was so touching, attracting many glances. Xiao Keyi, the revered Xiao Group heiress, was also quite beautiful, often seen on TV.
"Oh my, am I seeing right? The Xiao Group heiress having hot pot here! Why does the hot pot taste so much better now?"
"Exactly, I assud the young lady ate differently from everyone else, but she eats the sa as us! So surprising, today’s hot pot is truly worth it."
"Seriously, seeing the heiress in person is such a blessing. I never imagined I’d be this lucky, it’s really delightful, I have to post this on Monts."
