Treating Them to a Meal

"Hah!"

It was a little past nine in the morning when Zheng Hongyu yawned and groggily got out of bed.

A moment later, he instinctively glanced at Su Li's bed. En, still sleeping!

Zheng Hongyu pulled out his phone and stared at the "1," "2," and "0" on the dial pad for a long time, but ultimately, he didn't press them.

Not long after Zheng Hongyu woke up, Zhang Yu and Zhao Shengkai also gradually woke up.

They both stared at Su Li for a while. Seeing that Su Li's breathing was quite even, they ultimately did nothing!

"Guys, should we wake him up and check on him?" Zheng Hongyu, who had just returned from washing up outside, asked when he saw the two of them awake.

Before they could reply, Su Li's voice suddenly came from the bed, "Cough, no need, brothers!"

The three of them: "..."

After a long silence—

"Holy crap, you're finally awake, big bro?"

"It's alright. Didn't I tell you guys? The doctor said I've been overworking myself lately and need more rest!" Su Li slightly covered the "C" symbol between his brows, then got out of bed and quickly got dressed.

"But you've been resting way too much..."

"En, a bit too much!"

Su Li nodded, and at the same time, he started to ponder. With his current irregular schedule, should he go rent a place to live?

Otherwise, having to explain himself every time was quite troublesome!

He wasn't short on money right now anyway. He still had close to seventy thousand left from the hundred thousand he won at the Glutton King competition last time!

Wait, Glutton King...

Su Li suddenly remembered something. A few days ago, because of the Glutton King event, he seemed to have promised Zheng Hongyu and the others that he'd treat them, but several days had already passed!

"Old Zheng, what day is it today?" Su Li asked Zheng Hongyu, who looked like he had something to say but didn't.

"Saturday!"

"Saturday? That's great!" Upon hearing it was Saturday, Su Li no longer hesitated and directly said, "Guys, do you remember what I promised you a few days ago?"

"..."

"You mean treating us?" Zhang Yu was the first to react.

"Yeah, it's been delayed for so long. If it gets delayed any further, I'll really forget about it completely!" Su Li nodded and continued, "If you guys are free, then let's do it today!"

"Uh, I'm free, but what about you?" Zhao Shengkai pointed at Su Li and said.

"How long you slept last week, you should know yourself, right? Why don't you go to a proper hospital to get checked? I don't think this situation of yours looks like overwork, and you haven't been overworking!"

"I'm really fine. I'm in great health now, and I have a good appetite for everything. Otherwise, I wouldn't have brought back a Glutton King medal. Plus, I'm so strong now I could punch a cow to death. You guys can try if you don't believe me..."

Under Su Li's smooth-talking persuasion, Zheng Hongyu and the other two finally believed that Su Li was indeed fine.

Besides, they were all adults and knew their own physical conditions. Since Su Li insisted, Zheng Hongyu and the others naturally wouldn't dwell on it any longer!

Thus, the entire 414 dorm at Donghai University, after tidying themselves up, set off in full force!

Because he had previously promised to let them choose the location, Su Li followed them all the way. However, when they reached their destination, Su Li was a bit dumbfounded.

"Misty Rain Summer Wind? You guys did this on purpose, didn't you?" Su Li looked at the name of the Western restaurant and asked speechlessly.

"En, I just told Xia Ke on QQ a moment ago!" Zhang Yu's voice was very calm, but a hint of teasing amusement crept onto his face without anyone noticing.

Su Li: "..."

Looking at you, this kid with thick eyebrows and big eyes, I didn't expect you to be such a fatty!

"Su Li, we're all adults, what's there to be shy about! We all saw it on UC News. Didn't you participate in that Donghai Glutton King event just to help Xia Ke?" Zhao Shengkai said in a calm voice.

"UC News? Written by the sensationalism department's junior writers? Can that stuff be trusted?"

"Don't worry, Old Su. Even if Xia Ke doesn't work out, there's still Miao Yunxi, right? Yaoyao has asked me several times these past two days. We'll help you set you up, and there will be opportunities!" Zheng Hongyu said lightly.

"Holy crap, Old Zheng? When did this happen? Why are you only telling me now, you brat?" Before Su Li could say anything, Zhang Yu was the one who became shocked.

"Then I don't know why this kid Su Li suddenly became so popular?" Zheng Hongyu said speechlessly.

"Yeah, why did Su Li get stronger so quietly? We used to say we'd stay single together!" Zhang Yu also fell into deep thought.

"Alright, my dear brothers, consider me scared of you. Let's go inside first!" Su Li said, then he was the first to push open the door of "Misty Rain Summer Wind" and stepped inside.

Since he had been tricked into coming here, what else could he say?

He'd go. Not going would make him seem guilty!

Seeing Su Li go in, the other three didn't say anything more. After chuckling, they also followed Su Li inside.

"Misty Rain Summer Wind" certainly lived up to its name, which hinted at a literary flair between the lines. As soon as Su Li stepped inside, he was hit with an overwhelming wave of "artistic atmosphere."

The exquisite decor, minimalist design, and fresh ambiance… along with some decorative paintings, immediately captured a significant portion of Su Li's attention upon his first visit.

"Welcome!"

Just then, a slightly hesitant voice called out from not too far away.

Su Li looked up and saw Xia Ke emerging from inside, dressed in a black and white server uniform. Apart from the large glasses she wore, the uniform made Xia Ke appear much more capable and elegant, certainly worthy of being called "beautiful."

"Xia Ke, I'll be counting on you this time!"

Su Li wasn't surprised to see Xia Ke. After all, Zhang Yu had sent her a message, and it was only natural for Xia Ke not to ignore it.

Besides, he had participated in a glutton king competition with Xia Ke before, so they weren't mere acquaintances.

"Not at all, not at all. There are four of you, right? I've arranged a VIP seat for you, is that okay?" Xia Ke said, looking towards Su Li and his companions.

"Of course!"
