Why Are You So Skilled?!

The three chatted and joked until the dishes were served by the waiter.

The Garden Restaurant offered French cuisine with some local adaptations to better suit the palates of Chinese diners.

First came a piece of bread, then a salad, followed by the appetizer soup.

Jiang Qiuyi took a sip of her seafood soup, then slid her bowl over to Chen Wen's side and snatched his vegetable soup, which he had only just started drinking.

"The seafood one isn't good, you drink it for me~"

Chen Wen didn't mind; he was never a picky eater.

As for the soup having already been drunk from, they ate noodles together at home, so he naturally didn't care about that.

Lin Meng noticed this small gesture and felt a pang of jealousy. However, she was recording content. After tasting and commenting on the appetizer soup, she gave Jiang Qiuyi a look of disdain.

"What?" Jiang Qiuyi turned and teased, "Envious?"

"Envious of what!" Lin Meng scoffed, finishing her own meat soup with a contented sigh. "It's so much better being alone. I don't understand the appeal of dating."

After the appetizer soup came the entrées.

The three received foie gras, cod, and French escargots, respectively.

Lin Meng shared her thoughts as she ate, and after finishing her recording, she began to complain to Jiang Qiuyi.

"I went home recently, and my mom set me up on another blind date. He was a PhD graduate in engineering."

"I was almost driven to death."

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

"When we got there, I picked a song to sing, and he said, 'I feel a bit reserved singing karaoke with just the two of us.'"

Jiang Qiuyi asked curiously, "And then? Did you have some drinks to loosen up?"

"Loosen up, my foot." Lin Meng rolled her eyes. "This weirdo just got up and said, 'No problem, you sing here, I'll wait for you outside.'"

"Who could handle that?"

"Hahahahahaha!" Jiang Qiuyi burst into laughter, tears streaming down her face. "What did he do outside?"

"Nothing," Lin Meng said speechlessly. "He just stood by the door, completely still."

"Hahahaha~" Jiang Qiuyi, still struggling to breathe from laughter, glanced at Chen Wen, who was nodding thoughtfully opposite her. Her smile vanished. "Hey! Don't you learn from him!"

"Mhm," Chen Wen replied obediently, taking a bite of fish.

Although he agreed verbally, Chen Wen mused to himself that, in the situation Lin Meng described, that guy's approach actually seemed quite convenient and useful.

After the entrées were finished, the waiter began serving the main courses.

First, each person received a steak set, followed by a roasted chicken for the three of them.

Paired with refreshing drinks, it was enough to satisfy their appetites while enjoying the delicious food.

"When are you leaving here?" Jiang Qiuyi asked curiously. "If there's still time, I can take you to some other places?"

"I'm leaving tomorrow afternoon," Lin Meng said with regret, shaking her head. Then she added, "You guys will probably go back to Hangcheng during the summer break, right? Let's meet up again then."

"Mhm, mhm," Jiang Qiuyi nodded cheerfully. "We'll probably go home around early July."

"Speaking of which..." Lin Meng suddenly asked, "Do your families know about your relationship?"

"They don't know yet," Jiang Qiuyi blinked. "We only just got together not too long ago. We plan to see if we should tell them when we go home."

The two women chatted for a long time. Chen Wen had finished his steak and was continuing to eat the roasted chicken, listening quietly to them.

The taste is quite good, just a bit expensive... Chen Wen thought to himself.

Good thing it's free.

"Can you get me a piece of chicken~" Jiang Qiuyi nudged Chen Wen and opened her mouth, saying "Ah~".

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

"Why does it feel like something's missing?" Jiang Qiuyi chewed a couple of times, puzzled.

Chen Wen: "I took a bite just now."

"Oh~" Jiang Qiuyi giggled. "No wonder it's so delicious~"

"..." Lin Meng moved her chair a bit further away from Jiang Qiuyi. "Stop hurting me."

"Hahaha!" Jiang Qiuyi hugged Lin Meng and buried her head in her pink bear T-shirt. "Oh, I can't help it~ You understand, right?"

"Understand my foot," Lin Meng snorted. "Hurry up and finish eating, then play some King of Glory with me to make up for it."

After washing her face, Jiang Qiuyi returned to her seat and continued eating her steak.

While eating, she said to Chen Wen, "Why don't you download King of Glory too? We can play together~"

Chen Wen, having already eaten his fill, obediently took out his phone. "What game?"

Jiang Qiuyi told him the name, then urged, "Finish the beginner tutorial first. We'll play together later, your big sister will carry you~"

Chen Wen was downloading the game. He looked up and retorted seriously, "You're three months younger than me, you should call me 'little brother'."

"Nyah nyah nyah~" Jiang Qiuyi stuck out her tongue.

"Oh, come on, it'll still come down to me. Qiuqiu's skills are terrible," Lin Meng butted in with a taunt.

"It's our first time today, okay? Who can dominate right from the start?" Jiang Qiuyi pouted. "Just you wait, I'll show you how much I've improved later!"

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

"..." Jiang Qiuyi was momentarily speechless, then her foot under the table immediately stomped on Chen Wen's instep.

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

At this point, Chen Wen had just finished the beginner tutorial. The only heroes he could use were Arthur and Angela, but Jiang Qiuyi had already pulled him into their team.

The three of them leaned back in their chairs, holding their phones, and started a match.

Fifteen minutes later, the enemy's high ground was shattered.

Jiang Qiuyi's record: 3-7.

Chen Wen's record: 12-1.

The first number represented kills, and the second number was deaths.

At this point, the difference in skill was clear.

"How are you so good?!" Jiang Qiuyi's eyes widened. "Did you secretly play before?"

"This is my first time playing," Chen Wen said truthfully. "It's much simpler than the single-player games you gifted me on the computer."

Although he hadn't played most of the games Jiang Qiuyi had gifted him much later on, he had played them a few times and managed to get the hang of them.

As for the mobile game they were playing now, there were only a few main buttons, and the game's objectives were very clear. Chen Wen had only adapted for a short while before he became proficient.

However, this also had something to do with them playing a match, where the opponents' skill levels were quite low. Otherwise, no matter how skilled Chen Wen was, he wouldn't have achieved this record.

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

Ten minutes later.

Jiang Qiuyi's Arthur record: 0-5.

Chen Wen's Angela record: 16-4.

"Just accept your fate," Lin Meng said from the side, covering her mouth and chuckling as she comforted her. Then, she put on the same attitude and tone Jiang Qiuyi had earlier. "Sister will carry you~"

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