Eyeing the Bowl While Eating from the Pot

Lu Fan took the delivery box, pulled out his phone, and continued working it.

Each time he scanned a code, an 888-yuan red packet was credited to his account. After scanning more than twenty in a row, the screen finally showed that all the red packets had been claimed.

After the earlier Pinxixi incident, Lu Fan knew the merchant must have discovered that he had been cashing out and had directly shut down his event.

Yet in just that short while, he had earned around two hundred thousand yuan. Not only had he made back tonight's meal expenses, but he had also earned a fortune that others might not make in a year of hard work.

Lu Fan casually tossed the delivery box onto the floor and put away his phone with satisfaction. Only when he looked up did he realize that four pairs of wide, dazed eyes were staring straight at him. Mao Lili, Li Qian, and He Lu in particular were looking at him in a way that made his skin crawl.

"Why are you all looking at me like that? I'm very faithful, okay? I only love my Mengran Baby."

"But... if you're so desperate that you want to use me to satisfy your cravings, I can sacrifice my looks a little."

"Pah! Nothing good ever comes out of that dog mouth of yours!"

Lu Fan shattered the strange atmosphere. Mao Lili flushed and cursed at him, while the shy He Lu lowered her head in embarrassment. Liu Mengran's face reddened as she pinched him hard beneath the table.

"Ignore this pervert. All men are the same, eyeing the bowl while eating from the pot. The food is here, so let's eat first!"

Liu Mengran shot Lu Fan a glare. Just then, the restaurant server wheeled over a cart of food, and all kinds of seafood and barbecue quickly filled the table.

When the twelve-pound king crab was placed on the table, the four girls were stunned. They all came from ordinary families; when had they ever enjoyed such top-tier food?

"Wow, this king crab is practically bigger than I am! How much must this cost?"

Li Qian held her arm next to one of the king crab's claws. Her arm was not even as thick as the crab's claw.

"Lu Fan, why did you order something so expensive? This is way too wasteful, isn't it? No matter how rich a family is, they can't afford to spend money like this!"

Although Liu Mengran felt proud that Lu Fan was treating her good friends, her thrifty nature still made it hard for her to accept such extravagant spending.

"Hehe... Mengran Baby, I'm treating your friends. You know that I usually eat in the cafeteria and rarely go out for meals, much less spend this lavishly."

Only then did Liu Mengran reveal a faint smile. Lu Fan really had always eaten at the cafeteria; they had seen him there plenty of times before.

"Besides, I can make money now. Someone's footing the bill for tonight's meal."

Lu Fan waved the phone in his hand. Only then did the four girls remember that Lu Fan had just raked in more than two hundred thousand yuan from red packets. Wasn't this entire table of food essentially paid for by someone else?

He invited the four girls to start tasting the food. It was already past seven in the evening, and young people digested quickly. Faced with a table full of delicious food, they had long since become ravenous.

Once the five of them started eating, they could not stop.

Lu Fan abandoned all pretense of manners. He grabbed a massive crab leg and pulled out the tender white crab meat inside. Just as he was about to stuff it into his own mouth, he noticed Liu Mengran beside him delicately peeling crab shells.

The crab meat in his hand immediately changed direction and went straight into her mouth.

"I'm telling you two, you've disgusted us the whole way here. Can't you take a break from it while we're eating at the restaurant?"

"Exactly. We came here to eat, not to be force-fed couple food!"

"Wuwu... I second that!"

With all three of her friends denouncing her, Liu Ruyan shot him an embarrassed and annoyed glare before pulling her chair farther to the side.

Without the need to feed the goddess, Lu Fan's eating became far wilder. He used both hands and kept stuffing food into his mouth.

None of the four girls could hold their liquor, and Lu Fan did not force them. He ordered a bottle of light white wine, and the five of them ate, drank, and chatted to their hearts' content.

Although they could not drink much, their appetites were greater than those of many grown men.

They cleaned up the entire table of seafood and barbecue Lu Fan had ordered. In the end, the four girls were so stuffed that they leaned back in their chairs and groaned.

"Young Master Lu, I haven't had such a delicious seafood feast in at least two years. Thanks for treating us today!"

"Yeah, yeah. Sure enough, when one person gets into a relationship, the whole dorm gets fed. We're all benefiting from Mengran."

"You gave her a Fruit Sixteen phone in the daytime, then treated us to a luxurious dinner at night. Mengran, you'll have to work hard tonight and thank Young Master Lu properly on our behalf."

Mao Lili and He Lu's words were still fairly normal, but Li Qian's last remark was blatantly suggestive. Liu Mengran froze for two seconds before understanding.

"Qianqian, you're dead! How can that filthy mouth of yours say anything at all?"

With a red face, Liu Mengran reached out to tickle Li Qian's sides. The two girls immediately dissolved into giggles and started roughhousing.

Since it was summer, they were already wearing little clothing. Once the two girls got carried away, Lu Fan got an eyeful.

Other men in this situation would only sneak a few glances to satisfy themselves. This guy looked like he wanted to shove his eyeballs straight into their clothes, and he even smacked his lips while staring.

"You two, enough. If you keep messing around, Young Master Lu is going to unleash his beastly side!"

Mao Lili's reminder made Liu Mengran and Li Qian realize that they had exposed themselves. The two hurriedly adjusted their clothes and sat up straight.

"Now that we're full and satisfied, should we head somewhere else?"

Lu Fan's suggestion caught Liu Mengran slightly off guard. After considering it for two seconds, she directly shook her head and refused.

"No, Lu Fan. You should take us back to the dorm. Those entertainment venues are too chaotic, and it isn't safe for young girls like us to go there."

"Uh... I only meant taking you to the Starbucks next door to sit for a while. What were you thinking, Mengran?"

"Oh, Starbucks. I thought you meant going to a bar!"

Liu Mengran instantly blushed furiously. What Lu Fan had actually meant was a KTV, but seeing that none of the four wanted to go, he changed his words and suggested the Starbucks next door instead.

When Lu Fan paid the bill, the meal had actually cost more than twenty thousand yuan.

The four girls stuck out their tongues in shock, but Lu Fan felt nothing. Now, money flooded into his account with the slightest movement of his fingers. How could he care about such a small amount?

Just as the five finished paying and were about to leave, Liu Mengran behind Lu Fan suddenly cried out. Lu Fan turned around to see her clutching her wrist with a pained expression, her face flushed red.

Beside her stood a shirtless brute with tattoos covering his back, staring lewdly at Liu Mengran.

Lu Fan understood the scene almost instantly. Some bored thugs had clearly seen a pretty girl and decided to take advantage of her and cause trouble.

"What happened, Mengran?"

Fury flashed across Lu Fan's face. He stepped forward, wrapped an arm around Liu Mengran's slender waist, and protectively shielded her behind him.

"Lu Fan, he... he tried to slap my butt, and I blocked him with my hand!"

Liu Mengran stretched out her arm with a wronged expression. The moment Lu Fan saw it, terrifying killing intent burst from his eyes.

A palm print was visibly appearing on Liu Mengran's fair, delicate wrist, swelling her tender skin where the man had struck her.
