Why Are You So Good at This?!

After the three of them bantered for a while, the waiter brought out the dishes.

Garden Restaurant served French cuisine, with some local adjustments to better suit Chinese tastes.

First came bread, then salad, and soup.

After taking a sip of her seafood soup, Jiang Qiuyi moved her bowl over to Chen Wen and snatched away the vegetable soup he had only taken two sips from.

"The seafood one doesn't taste good. Help me drink it~"

Chen Wen did not mind. He had never been a picky eater.

As for the fact that the soup had already been drunk from, they had eaten noodles from the same bowl at home, so naturally neither of them cared.

Lin Meng noticed the little gesture, and her sour jealousy flared up again. But she was recording material, so after tasting and commenting on the soup, she shot Jiang Qiuyi a disdainful look.

"What?" Jiang Qiuyi turned her head with a grin. "Jealous?"

"Jealous my ass!" Lin Meng spat, finishing her meat broth on her own and letting out a contented sigh. "How great is being single? I really don't understand how you people think when you're dating."

After the soup came the appetizers.

The three of them received foie gras, silver cod, and French escargot, respectively.

Lin Meng shared her thoughts as she ate. Once she finished recording, she started complaining to Jiang Qiuyi.

"I went home recently, and my mom arranged another blind date for me. He was an engineering PhD graduate."

"I was seriously so pissed off."

"After dinner, I suggested we go sing karaoke, and he said okay."

"When we got there, I picked a song and was about to sing. I said that I felt a little awkward singing karaoke alone with just one other person."

Jiang Qiuyi asked curiously, "And then? Did you have some drinks to lighten the mood?"

"Lighten the mood, my ass." Lin Meng rolled her eyes. "That weirdo stood right up and said it was fine, that I could sing in there while he waited outside."

"Who could put up with that?"

"Hahahahahahaha!" Jiang Qiuyi clutched her stomach, laughing until tears came out. "What did he go outside for?"

"Nothing." Lin Meng was speechless. "He just stood there by the door without moving."

"Goose, goose, goose~" Jiang Qiuyi was laughing so hard she could barely breathe. She glanced at Chen Wen across from her, who was nodding thoughtfully, and immediately lost her smile. "Hey! Don't you go copying him!"

"Mm." Chen Wen obediently nodded and took a bite of fish.

Though he agreed aloud, Chen Wen thought it over and realized that, in the situation Lin Meng described, that guy's approach really had been convenient and useful.

After the appetizers, the waiter began serving the main course.

First came a steak set meal for each of them, followed by a roast chicken for the three of them to share.

Paired with refreshing drinks, it was enough to let them enjoy the food while filling their stomachs.

"How long are you staying here before heading back?" Jiang Qiuyi asked curiously. "If it's not too soon, I can show you around some other places afterward."

"I'm leaving tomorrow afternoon." Lin Meng shook her head regretfully, then said, "You two should be going back to Hangcheng for summer break, right? Let's hang out then."

"Mhm." Jiang Qiuyi nodded brightly. "We'll probably go home around the beginning of July."

"Speaking of which..." Lin Meng suddenly asked, "Do your families know you two are dating?"

"Not yet." Jiang Qiuyi blinked. "We only just got together, after all. We'll see whether to tell them when we get home."

The two girls kept chatting for quite a while. Chen Wen had already finished his steak and continued eating roast chicken as he quietly listened to them talk.

It tastes pretty good, but it's a bit expensive... Chen Wen thought.

Thankfully, it was free.

"Get me a piece of chicken~" Jiang Qiuyi kicked Chen Wen beneath the table and opened her mouth with an "Ah~."

Chen Wen paused, then put the chicken on his fork straight into Jiang Qiuyi's mouth.

"Why does it feel like a piece is missing?" Jiang Qiuyi chewed twice and asked in confusion.

Chen Wen said, "I took a bite."

"Oh~" Jiang Qiuyi smiled. "No wonder it tastes so good~"

"..." Lin Meng picked up her chair and shifted farther away from Jiang Qiuyi. "Stop hurting me."

"Hahaha!" Jiang Qiuyi reached out and hugged Lin Meng, burying her head in her pink teddy bear T-shirt. "Aww, I can't help it~ Try to understand, okay?"

"Understand my ass." Lin Meng snorted. "Finish eating already, then play Honor of Kings with me for a while to make it up to me."

After using the facial cleanser, Jiang Qiuyi returned to her seat and continued eating her steak.

As she ate, she said to Chen Wen, "Why don't you download Honor of Kings too? Let's play together~"

Chen Wen had already eaten his fill. Obediently taking out his phone, he asked, "What game?"

Jiang Qiuyi told him the name, then urged, "Finish the beginner tutorial first. Then we'll play together, and big sis will carry you~"

Chen Wen was downloading it. He looked up and seriously refuted her, "You're three months younger than me. You should call yourself little sister."

"Bleh bleh bleh~" Jiang Qiuyi stuck out her tongue.

"Give me a break. You'll still have to rely on me later. Qiuyi's skills are absolutely terrible." Lin Meng jumped in with a taunt.

"Today's my first time, okay? Who can crush a game on their first try?" Jiang Qiuyi pouted. "Just wait. I'll show you my improvement in a bit!"

Chen Wen pondered for a moment. "Didn't you say before that you'd never play this stupid game again?"

"..." Jiang Qiuyi choked on her words, then immediately stepped on the top of Chen Wen's foot beneath the table.

After they finished the main course, the waiter brought several desserts and fruits.

By then, Chen Wen had just finished the beginner tutorial. With only Arthur and Angela available to use, Jiang Qiuyi pulled him into the party.

The three of them leaned back in their chairs, held their phones, and started a matchmaking game.

Fifteen minutes later, the enemy's high ground fell.

Jiang Qiuyi's score was 3-7.

Chen Wen's score was 12-1.

The first number represented kills, while the second represented deaths.

The difference was immediately obvious.

"Why are you so good at this?!" Jiang Qiuyi stared wide-eyed. "Did you secretly play before?"

"This is my first time." Chen Wen told the truth. "It's much easier than those single-player computer games you gave me."

Although Chen Wen had barely played the games Jiang Qiuyi gave him afterward, he had played them a few times and only barely gotten the hang of them.

The mobile game they were playing now only had a few main controls, and its objective was very clear. Chen Wen only needed a little time to adapt before he quickly became proficient.

Of course, it also had to do with the fact that they were playing a matchmaking game, and their opponents were rather weak. Otherwise, no matter how talented Chen Wen was, he would not have achieved that score so easily.

"I don't believe you!" Jiang Qiuyi puffed out her cheeks stubbornly. "Another round! This time, you use Angela!"

Ten minutes later.

Jiang Qiuyi's Arthur had a score of 0-5.

Chen Wen's Angela had a score of 16-4.

"Just accept your fate." Lin Meng covered her mouth and laughed as she comforted her. Then, imitating Jiang Qiuyi's earlier attitude and tone, she said, "Big sis will carry you~"

"Carry what?!" Jiang Qiuyi angrily exited the game. "I'm never playing again!"
