Treat

"Ha!"

A little after nine in the morning, Zheng Hongyu yawned and climbed groggily out of bed.

A moment later, he instinctively glanced at Su Li's bed. Yep, he was still asleep!

Zheng Hongyu took out his phone and stared at the "1," "2," and "0" on the dial pad for a long while. In the end, he still didn't press them.

Not long after Zheng Hongyu woke up, Zhang Yu and Zhao Shengkai woke up one after another as well.

They stared at Su Li for a while too. Seeing that his breathing was steady, they ultimately decided not to do anything either!

"Guys, should we wake him up and take a look?" Zheng Hongyu asked after returning from washing up outside and seeing that the other two were awake.

Before either of them could say anything, Su Li's voice suddenly came from the bed. "Ahem, no need, brothers!"

The three of them: "..."

After a long while—

"Damn, you're finally awake, boss?"

"I'm fine. Didn't I tell you? The doctor said I've been overworked lately and need to get more rest!" Su Li slightly covered the "C" symbol between his brows, then climbed out of bed and quickly got dressed.

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

"Yeah, it is a little excessive!"

Su Li nodded, while also beginning to wonder if he should rent a place and move out, considering how abnormal his current schedule was.

Otherwise, having to explain everything at length every time was seriously troublesome!

Fortunately, he wasn't particularly short of money now. He still had nearly seventy thousand yuan left from the hundred thousand he'd won at the Glutton King competition!

Wait, the Glutton King...

Su Li suddenly remembered something. A few days ago, because of the Glutton King competition, he seemed to have promised Zheng Hongyu and the others that he would treat them to a meal. Several days had already passed!

"Old Zheng, what day of the week is it today?" Su Li asked, looking at the hesitant Zheng Hongyu.

"Saturday!"

"Saturday? That's great!" Upon hearing that it was Saturday, Su Li stopped hesitating and said directly, "You three, do you remember what I promised you a few days ago?"

"..."

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

"Yeah. I've put it off for so long that if I delay it any further, I really might never remember it again!" Su Li nodded before continuing, "If you're all free, let's do it today!"

"Uh, I'm free, but what about you?" Zhao Shengkai pointed at Su Li. "You should know how long you slept last week, right? Why don't you go to a proper hospital for a checkup? I don't think your condition looks like overwork at all. Besides, you haven't even been working that hard!"

"I'm really fine. I'm in excellent shape now, and I have a huge appetite. Otherwise, I couldn't have brought home the Glutton King medal. Besides, I'm strong enough to punch a cow to death. If you don't believe me, you can try..."

After Su Li's round of verbal persuasion, the three of them finally believed that he was truly fine.

Besides, they were all adults and had a good idea of their own physical condition. Since Su Li kept insisting, Zheng Hongyu and the others naturally stopped dwelling on it!

Thus, after tidying up, the entire population of Room 414 at Donghai University set out in grand fashion!

Since he had previously agreed to let them choose the place, Su Li followed the others the entire way. But when they arrived at their destination, he was dumbfounded.

"Misty Rain Summer Wind? Seriously, you guys did this on purpose, didn't you?" Su Li asked helplessly as he looked at the name of the Western restaurant.

"Yeah. I even told Xia Ke about it on QQ just now!" Zhang Yu's voice was perfectly calm, but a sly smile quietly appeared on his face.

Su Li: "..."

Who would've thought that this seemingly honest and straightforward fatty would turn out to be like this?

"Su Li, we're all adults. What's there to be embarrassed about? We all saw it in one of UC's little news stories. Didn't you go participate in the Donghai Glutton King competition just to help Xia Ke?" Zhao Shengkai said calmly.

"UC news? Was it written by one of those 'shocking news' editors? Can that stuff really be trusted?"

"Don't worry, Old Su. Even if things don't work out with Xia Ke, there's still Miao Yunxi, right? Yaoyao has asked me several times these past two days. We'll help set you two up when the time comes. You'll definitely have a chance!"

"Damn, Old Zheng? When did that happen? How come you're only telling us now?" Before Su Li could say anything, Zhang Yu was already shocked.

"I didn't know this guy Su Li would suddenly become so popular either!" Zheng Hongyu said helplessly.

"Exactly. Why did Su Li quietly become stronger? We used to agree that we'd stay single together!" Zhang Yu fell into deep thought as well.

"All right, you big brothers win. I give up. Let's go inside first!" Su Li said as he pushed open the door of Misty Rain Summer Wind and walked in.

Since they had already tricked him into coming here, what else could he say?

He might as well go. Refusing now would only make him look guilty!

Seeing Su Li enter, the other three said nothing more. After chuckling, they followed him inside.

Misty Rain Summer Wind truly lived up to its artistic-sounding name. The moment Su Li entered, he was hit by an atmosphere known as "artistic sensibility."

The refined décor, minimalist design, and fresh atmosphere... Combined with several paintings used as decorations, they immediately drew a large portion of Su Li's attention as a first-time visitor.

"Welcome!"

Just then, a somewhat timid voice came from not far away.

Su Li looked up and saw Xia Ke walking out from inside in a black-and-white server uniform. Aside from the large glasses on her face, Xia Ke looked much more capable in the uniform, and she was beautiful enough to earn a compliment.

"Xia Ke, sorry for the trouble this time!"

Su Li wasn't surprised to see Xia Ke come out. Since Zhang Yu had already sent her a message, she wouldn't ignore them, whether for personal or practical reasons.

After all, he and Xia Ke had participated in the Glutton King competition together. They weren't mere acquaintances anymore.

"No, no. There are four of you, right? I've arranged a VIP table for you. Is that okay?" Xia Ke said, looking toward Su Li and the others.

"Of course!"
