Chapter 367: 365, things are getting smoother, taking the young lady to eat!
"Hello, it’s nice to meet you." Liang Hong proactively reached out to shake hands with Luofeng.
Luofeng nodded, his arm brushing against Shangguan Shui’er, and said, "Nice to meet you too!"
Shangguan Feier got the hint from Luofeng and took the initiative to shake hands with Liang Hong.
Li Hu glanced gratefully at Luofeng; his good feeling towards Liang Hong dropped a notch.
"Let me show you guys around the Academy of Fine Arts!" Liang Hong didn’t seem to mind Luofeng not shaking her hand. She packed up her easel and canvas, then started to lead Luofeng and his two companions around the school. "In our school, apart from the famous Weeping Willow Lake, the Graffiti Wall is the most worth seeing," Liang Hong explained.
Soon, she brought the three of them to a wall.
It seemed Luofeng lacked an artistic bone; he couldn’t comprehend the artistry of the Graffiti Wall.
Liang Hong shared, "This section of the Graffiti Wall is updated monthly. Towards the end of each month, our school photographs the wall, then repaints it, waiting for students to create new graffiti."
So? The school is pretty humane?
Shangguan Feier, while browsing the Graffiti Wall with Luofeng, sent a message to her sisters in their Normal University group chat.
"Your girl makes her move! Successfully captured!"
Shangguan Feier also sent a photo she had secretly snapped—a handsome profile of Luofeng.
"????????"
"???????"
"?????????"
Shangguan Feier: Aren’t I awesome? This guy is indeed a big deal, but so what? As long as I want to, I can win!
Tang Yu: Fei Er, are you trying to be funny?
"I’m dying of laughter!"
"I was just drinking water and almost sprayed it out!"
?????
Shangguan Feier was puzzled.
Shangguan Shui’er sent a link with the title: "Wang Xi confesses to Shangguan Shui’er, gets his heart-shaped candle extinguished by a fire extinguisher."
Link: Big gossip! The big shot from the neighboring Shu City Economics University has parachuted into our school.
Link: A primer on the big shot’s background.
Link: So, is Wang Xi going to be left out in the cold this time?
Link: A girl from our school is gone. Anyone know how much a Lamborghini Urus costs?
Shangguan Feier: ????
"No worries, no worries, if you like, Fei Er, you can brag all you want; we’ll pretend to go along with you!"
"Someone posted on the campus wall that you publicly claimed Luofeng is your boyfriend!"
"Fei Er, you’ve let your guard down!"
Shangguan Feier: I’m shutting down. Lucky I was pretending to be Shangguan Shui’er.
Shangguan Shui’er: ...
「Around 12 noon.」
Liang Xue proactively said, "I’ll treat everyone to lunch. Our Academy of Fine Arts’ canteen is quite good; it’s the perfect opportunity to compare it with other universities!"
Li Hu said, "Let’s skip that. We can eat out; my treat!"
Luofeng waved his hand. "This time it’s on me. I’ve bailed several times on the car purchase; consider this my apology!"
Li Hu laughed. "Okay then. If we were buying together, I might really go for an Audi!"
"I’d believe that if pigs could fly!" Luofeng laughed.
Shangguan Feier asked from the side, "So, what are we eating for lunch?"
Luofeng asked, "What do you want to eat?"
"I’m fine with anything!" Shangguan Feier said.
Luofeng looked at Li Hu. "What about you and your friend?" He then asked Liang Hong, "Do you have any preferences?"
The responses from Liang Hong and Shangguan Feier were the same; they were both easygoing.
"Brother Feng, you decide!" Li Hu said.
"Alright then!" Luofeng nodded.
They quickly left the lakeside. Liang Hong couldn’t help but take several more glances at Luofeng’s Lamborghini, but she still followed Li Hu to the Mercedes Benz. It was quite obvious she understood the basic situation.
"Li Hu, keep up!" Luofeng said. One car followed the other as they drove away from the Academy of Fine Arts.
「In less than fifteen minutes.」
Luofeng arrived at Jinjiang Hotel. While in the car, he had already reserved Teppanyaki cuisine at this hotel. This Teppanyaki was almost the top-tier in Shu City. The chef was even from Sakura Country. On the appliance app, it had great reviews.
"Welcome!" A waitress, who might score about seventy for appearance, approached to greet them.
"I have a reservation under the name Luo," Luofeng said.
"Hello Mr. Luo, welcome to you and your friends. We’ve arranged the best scenic private room for you, and Chef Yamamoto Ichiki will be cooking for everyone!" the waitress said politely, then took the lead, guiding them with courtesy.
Li Hu exclaimed, "Wow, Brother Feng, what did you reserve this time? I’m suddenly looking forward to it!"
"I almost believed you!" Luofeng responded casually. Li Hu’s family was well-off. This was just the usual business flattery between them.
The four of them quickly followed the waitress to a window-side private room. A male chef dressed in a clean white chef’s uniform was already waiting in the room. The setup was such that the chef would cook while they ate.
"Hello, guests. I am Yamamoto Ichiki, from Tokyo. Please allow me to demonstrate my skills!" After he spoke, he bowed deeply.
There was indeed a strong sense of ceremony. Both Liang Hong and Shangguan Feier clearly enjoyed this level of formality!
After the bow, Yamamoto started to arrange the ingredients on the iron plate, as Luofeng led everyone to take their seats. To their right was a floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the South River. Liang Hong and Shangguan Feier were taking photos. Li Hu and Luofeng exchanged glances and shared a knowing smile.
Soon, Yamamoto completed a dish. The waitress introduced it, "Esteemed guests, this first dish is Alaskan King Crab sashimi. We’ve selected the finest King Crab; its most prized part is the leg meat. The meat is extracted while the crab is still alive to perfectly preserve its exquisite freshness!"
The waitress set down the King Crab sashimi, then picked up a grinding board lined with sharkskin and began to grind the wasabi. As she ground it, she explained, "This wasabi comes from the South of Colorful Clouds and is among the finest in the world. It was initially supplied exclusively to the markets of Sakura Country! Because this wasabi paste’s spiciness is purer and more natural, and its fragrance is more intense, we don’t recommend adding soy sauce directly to it! To savor the pure quality of the wasabi paste, I recommend spreading it on the top side of the King Crab sashimi and dipping the underside in soy sauce!"
In fact, wasabi is not mustard. It is a plant called Wasabi. Its spiciness is more intense. Real wasabi is volatile and difficult to preserve, which is why it’s always freshly ground. And soy sauce is not added to it; once mixed, it loses the unique taste of wasabi.
It’s worth noting that the world’s top-grade wasabi definitely comes from the Caiyun region. Those who pretend to know better and claim that Sakura Country’s wasabi is the best are just keyboard warriors.
