Su Lin bowed repeatedly to Xiao Yu in gratitude. "Thank you from me too, Master Xiao. Thank you so, so much! You really are a wonderful person!"
"Miss Su Lin, don't thank me. Thank my disciple, Hu Feifei... Let me formally introduce you: Hu Feifei, your future bestie and lifelong friend. It was for her sake that I divined you were in trouble and came specifically to help you."
"Thank you, Feifei! But I... I'm just a poor girl. You're way out of my league..."
"What does that matter? Come on, Su Lin, I'll treat you to a feast! We're going to be good friends who stick together for life! So don't be so formal! I'll introduce you to my other lifelong besties too!"
"Okay! Then, should I close up shop?"
"Of course! What do you like to eat? Seafood? Hot pot? Steak? Barbecue?"
Su Lin quickly shook her head. "Wouldn't that be too expensive?"
Xiao Yu smiled. "Miss Su Lin's favorite food is hot pot, because a family can gather happily around it, and it's inexpensive.
But what she longs for most is seafood, because in her memory, seafood is the most expensive food. In all her life, she's never had a proper seafood feast.
So, to fulfill her wish and cater to her tastes at the same time, a seafood hot pot feast would be ideal... Incidentally, before I even stepped into this market, I'd already booked a private room at a seafood restaurant nearby."
"Wow! Master, you've thought of everything!"
Su Lin covered her mouth and stared at Xiao Yu in shock, her beautiful eyes sparkling.
Master Xiao was so thoughtful, so gentle, so... so wonderful! And he knew her tastes so well!
"Hey, Su Lin."
"What is it?"
"You're not allowed to fall for my master.
