"Ladies and gentlemen, there are no large tables available, only this one. Would it be alright if guests split into two tables?" the server asked apologetically.
It was Friday, and many families chose to dine out during this time. Su Qi thought, No wonder it has a four-and-a-half-star rating, it's really popular!
This also meant that the largest 8-person table had already been occupied. Usually, when this happened, guests would choose two tables that were close to each other and eat there.
After all, a six-person table was a bit cramped for a buffet.
Su Qi looked at everyone. Han Yixing didn't seem to mind. Gu Panpan, however, was looking at Han Yixing with obvious intentions; she was determined to stick with him, regardless of the table size.
She then looked at Wang Dongxu and Wu Wei. The two were frantically exchanging glances. Having lived in the same dorm for a year, Su Qi understood immediately. They didn't want to be separated.
Of course, the two Campus Belles were the ones who would ultimately decide how they would split. If they really didn't want to eat together, there was nothing anyone could do.
Su Qi shifted her gaze to the two of them.
Wang Zijin was still contemplating how to politely suggest that eating together would be better, in a ladylike manner, when she heard An Ning, on the side, affectionately pull Su Qi's arm and say:
"Then let's sit together. Didn't we sit like this this morning too?" As she spoke, she nudged Gu Panpan and Wang Zijin to take their seats. Su Qi was supposed to sit next, but An Ning swapped their positions.
Su Qi — An Ning — Wang Zijin — Gu Panpan.
This was the result.
Su Qi breathed a sigh of relief. Recalling this morning, with stunning long legs on both her left and right, she didn't know where to look. Now, at least one side was available, wasn't it?
"Sir, ladies, is this table confirmed? I'll start the timer then!" the server confirmed with them. After everyone nodded, he said, "Enjoy your meal," and left.
A buffet, a buffet, the enjoyment comes from doing it yourself and having plenty to eat. The group headed towards the food areas.
The buffet at 210 was indeed extremely rich. The seafood section had oysters, scallops, crayfish, mantis shrimp, Australian lobsters, abalone, and everything else. The barbecue section had various marinated meats and trays of internal organs and kidneys of all kinds.
Once again, Su Qi, a Doujin Artist, educated Wu Wei and Wang Dongxu, who were snatching up kidneys.
Kidneys, especially the more expensive lamb kidneys sold now, do not have the supposed kidney-tonifying effects. As for the older generation's saying that eating something replenishes the same part, it's pure rumor.
Medical professionals explain that kidneys do not have strong kidney-boosting effects, and eating too many can instead lead to heart disease.
So, everyone should eat cautiously. Of course, oysters and the like are still good.
After hearing Su Qi's explanation, the two put down several plates of kidneys and turned to grab several plates of oysters.
Can they finish all that? Su Qi wondered, feeling a bit embarrassed as she watched the two take so many oysters.
There are girls here, can't they be more considerate?
And Wang Dongxu has a girlfriend, so it's understandable. But Wu Wei, you're single, why are you getting so much?
Ignoring the two simpletons, Su Qi took a plate and put some of each type of grilled meat on it. She saw some grilled skewers and thought they looked delicious, so she got a few more skewers.
Normally, buying skewers involved paying cash on delivery. This time, they were given ten skewers directly. It felt pretty good to eat skewers without paying.
Wang Zijin and An Ning were selecting items in the dessert section. Surrounded by the burly guys, the two seemed a bit out of place. After all, at a buffet, the dessert section is rarely popular.
The two chose some pastries and then some fruit. From a distance, the two beautiful girls, one holding a delicate pastry and the other holding colorful fruit, were quite a pleasing sight.
As for Han Yixing, he wandered around, picking up whatever he wanted to eat. Following closely behind him was Gu Panpan, like a shadow.
It seemed she wanted to make the proverb "pursuing a man is like piercing through a veil" come true.
Han Yixing was also made a bit awkward by her clingy behavior. He had rejected her several times. However, she seemed to have selective amnesia and kept following him, which truly annoyed him.
Helplessly, he could only quickly return to his seat, take out his phone, and look at it, seeking refuge from what he couldn't see.
He returned to his seat and sat in the opposite position from before. Gu Panpan, meanwhile, had found her way to the seat opposite him.
Within a few minutes, Wu Wei and Wang Dongxu returned, carrying several plates. They were a bit taken aback, wondering why the seats had changed, but they didn't think much of it and sat down next to Han Yixing. They skillfully turned on the grill and prepared to start cooking.
At this moment, An Ning and Wang Zijin, carrying cake and fruit, also returned. They were stunned by the changed seating arrangement, and then both stood rooted to the spot. Neither made a move.
How funny! If someone sits down first, wouldn't that mean giving up the chance to be with Su Qi?
"Is the cake very heavy? Why don't you sit down first, Zijin!" An Ning kindly gestured.
"No, I feel like your fruit is heavier. Why don't you sit first? You're the youngest in the dorm, so you should sit!" Wang Zijin retorted, unwilling to be outdone.
Hearing Wang Zijin's words, Gu Panpan's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief. She never expected that Zijin, who usually spoke gently in the dorm, would fight for a man with the dorm's leader.
This kind of drama you don't usually get to see! And listening to their words, I can't believe these two Campus Belles are competing for a little man, their tactics seem pretty good.
Wu Wei and Wang Dongxu didn't notice this "tea art." They only thought that the two Campus Belles at this moment were truly embodying virtue and grace, being so considerate even when eating.
"Why are you still standing? Sit down!" Su Qi said, holding a plate of king prawns and looking at the two still-standing Campus Belles, somewhat confused.
Hearing Su Qi's words, both of them looked at each other, seeking information from each other's eyes.
However, this time Wang Zijin's gaze was firm. She had been tricked by An Ning once already; she couldn't make the same mistake twice.
Finally, An Ning figured out how to arrange them.
Gu Panpan — An Ning — Su Qi — Wang Zijin.
Su Qi sat between the two Campus Belles, feeling a bit lost.
Just like this morning, there were fair and tender long legs on both her left and right, making Su Qi so awkward she didn't know where to look.
"Eat more king prawns, these seem quite fresh!" Su Qi shifted her attention, placing the king prawns on the grill.
Her gaze slightly tilted towards An Ning on the left. Since she had accidentally touched Wang Zijin's thigh this morning, it would be awkward to look again now, so she could only choose An Ning's side.
An Ning was happy about this. While happy, she didn't forget to lift her swan-like fair neck and glance at Wang Zijin.
Gu Panpan, who was watching from the corner of her eye, felt a bead of sweat on her brow. We're all in the same dorm, do we really need to be this intense?!
But, I have to say, this drama is too satisfying!
