7: Chapter 7 This is what you mean by eating seafood

Seeing Li Luo so certain, Pan Xingyue didn't argue anymore; it just so happened she hadn't eaten seafood in a long time either.

"Fine, but let's get this straight: I'll treat you next time, but I don't have the money to treat you to seafood. You men know that we women have high expenses—food, clothes, cosmetics, rent, and so on..."

"I know, I know. Why are you even more long-winded than a man like me!"

Pan Xingyue, calm down, calm down. He is a patient; you absolutely cannot provoke him. You must humor him. If he wants to eat seafood, let him eat it!

Twenty minutes later.

They arrived at the Deji Plaza underground parking garage and parked the car.

The two got out of the car and walked toward the elevator entrance. While waiting for the elevator...

Li Luo turned around and asked.

"Which floor is the restaurant on again?"

The Girl was a bit surprised.

"Have you never been here before?"

"I have, but I only walked around the first floor."

Li Luo had indeed been here before, just to broaden his horizons, but he never dared to spend money here because he couldn't afford it.

If not for the system, with only the ten thousand or so he had on him, he would never be able to afford to spend money in a place like this.

Plus, Pan Xingyue had just paid the fare and given a good review, and the system had cashed back 62 times that amount.

His balance had now reached 15,760 huaxia coin.

Pan Xingyue thought that made sense; visiting this place once to feast your eyes was enough.

Ordinary people really couldn't afford to spend here, or at least that's what she thought Li Luo couldn't afford.

"I remember the restaurant is on the seventh floor."

"Then let's go to the seventh floor."

Just then, the elevator arrived. The two entered, Li Luo pressed the button for the floor, and the elevator slowly ascended.

Ding.

It was indeed a place for the wealthy. Even though he had been here once, Li Luo was still filled with awe.

The crystal palace-like glass dome structure, imported fossil floor tiles from abroad, high-end stone materials—a whole series of expensive materials.

From the ceiling to the floor, every detail and the craftsmanship created the unparalleled luxury of Deji Plaza.

Watching the wealthy ladies, or the Girls who were snuggled up to bald middle-aged men—who knows what kind of "bosses" they were.

But those Girls who could probably call them "daddy," going in and out of various stores with big bags and small bags.

Li Luo muttered to himself: "Soon. The next time I come here, I'll be able to be called Boss Li by them too."

Pan Xingyue looked at him.

"What's wrong? Envious? Don't get me wrong, I'm also very envious, but there's no way around it. Some things are destined by heaven. Others are born at the finish line, while we work hard our whole lives and still don't know if we can even touch their starting point."

Li Luo gave her a surprised look.

"With your conditions, achieving that should be easy, right?"

"Naturally. I don't look any worse than them."

Pan Xingyue looked at those women who were snuggling up to bald middle-aged men and posing provocatively, and she couldn't quite understand how they could bring themselves to do it.

Hearing this, Li Luo felt she was being truly humble. Didn't she see that the eyes of many men around them were fixed on Pan Xingyue?

Pan Xingyue tugged on Li Luo's clothes.

"Let's go. It's useless to keep looking."

As she spoke, she turned and walked forward.

Li Luo hurried to keep up.

"Is the seafood over there?"

Pan Xingyue pointed.

"Look, we're here."

Li Luo took a look.

"A buffet?"

"Yeah, about two to three hundred per person. We can afford it; it seems to be the cheapest one."

"We came all the way here for a good meal, have some standards, okay!"

"I'm saving money for you, seriously."

Pan Xingyue said indignantly.

"Fine, do whatever you want. Whatever you say we eat, we eat."

"Let's go to that one called something like Crab Dao Li."

As he said this, Li Luo walked over there.

Seeing that Li Luo wouldn't listen, Pan Xingyue couldn't be bothered to argue and had to follow.

The Waiter handing out flyers at the entrance saw them walking over and quickly said.

"Are the two of you dining?"

"Are there still seats available?"

"Yes, yes, please come in."

Entering the restaurant, two Waiters with good figures guarding the door bowed and said.

"Welcome to Crab Dao Li, Handsome Guy and Beautiful Lady, please come in."

"Do you have any window seats?"

"Yes, yes, please follow me."

As the Waiter spoke, they led the two to a window seat to sit down.

They took out the menu.

"We are a buffet here, with several price tiers. Beautiful Lady, please take a look at which tier you'd like to eat from."

"You choose for him; I'm fine with anything."

"Then Handsome Guy, you take a look."

Li Luo took the menu and looked at it. There was the lowest-priced couple's meal for eight hundred with snow crab, and a higher-priced one for four thousand five hundred with King Crab.

Speaking of King Crab, he had seen people on TikTok eating it and saying it was very sweet.

Li Luo had wanted to try it for a long time; previously he could only imagine it.

"Just this four thousand five hundred King Crab set meal."

Just as Li Luo finished speaking, he suddenly felt his foot get kicked. He looked up.

He saw Pan Xingyue glare at him and quickly say.

"Why order something so expensive? Just eating something casual is fine."

"It's fine, I haven't eaten it either, so I might as well have a taste."

Li Luo turned his head to the Waiter and said.

"Just this King Crab set meal."

The Waiter took the menu and added.

"Please wait a moment, I will go arrange it for you now."

After the Waiter left, Pan Xingyue said.

"I just checked, the King Crab set meal is four thousand five hundred. Why eat something so expensive?"

"I haven't eaten it before, and I want to try it. Life is only thirty thousand days long; you should enjoy it when you can."

Pan Xingyue was speechless upon hearing this.

"Enjoy it? You need money for that! Who doesn't want to eat well, dress well, live in a mansion, and drive a luxury car if they have money? Honestly, did you win the lottery? You dare to eat like this—this one meal will cost you more than half a month's income, right!"

Li Luo chuckled.

"What's this? In the future, this kind of thing will be everyday food for me."

The Girl rolled her eyes at him.

"Keep bragging. Anyway, bragging doesn't cost anything."

"What, you don't believe me?"

Pan Xingyue didn't speak, muttering to herself:

"What are you muttering about?"

"I didn't say anything!"

Seeing she wouldn't say, Li Luo couldn't be bothered to ask.

Suddenly he thought of something.

"Then let's play a little game! If I often bring you here to eat in the future, how about you promise me two things?"

"Li Luo, I've discovered that you don't play by the rules! Don't they usually just promise one thing in TV dramas?"

Li Luo found it amusing.

"You know that's just a TV drama!"

"Tell me what the two things are first. I won't do anything illegal."

Li Luo immediately retorted.

"You're overthinking it. I want to live a few more years too. It's a very simple matter."

The Girl smiled.

"You say it first, let me hear it."

"System, are you there? Let me ask you something!"

"System: Host, please speak."

Li Luo asked curiously.

"If these regular customers ride in my ride-hailing car without paying, does it count as a five-star review?"

"System: After you finish eating later, you can just leave directly without paying."

Li Luo was stunned.

"Are you kidding me?"

"System: You were the one kidding me first."

"Damn it, just saying that payment is required would have been enough. Was it necessary to be sarcastic?" Li Luo, having realized, retorted.

"System: It is good that the Host understands. In the future, think clearly before asking such brainless questions."

"You... fine, you win."

"System: Does the Host disagree?"

"I... I agree completely."
