Forced Pampering: Haughty Husband, Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 62: Chapter 72: Heroes Are Around Us

Though Lu Yi was naturally indifferent and uninterested in family and company affairs, he rarely attended social events, even those disguised as gatherings. That time, his father had forced him to go.

Later, Guo Xinyi used the excuse of accompanying her father to several such gatherings, but she never saw him again.

After much inquiry, she learned that Lu Yi had enrolled in the medical department at Nan’an University, so she didn’t hesitate to choose that school as well.

Seeing Lu Yi go to another table, a fierce glint flashed in Guo Xinyi’s eyes as she stared at An Ran’s back. She gave Sun Beibei a signal.

Sun Beibei naturally understood Guo Xinyi’s intention. She picked up her cup, walked to the other table, and kicked one boy’s chair leg lightly. ”Hey, switch seats.”

The boy, who came from a remote mountain area, was already feeling uneasy in such an upscale restaurant on his first visit. Sun Beibei switching seats with him made him even more nervous, so he silently picked up his cup and moved to another table.

Guo Xinyi unapologetically sat down in his seat.

Sun Beibei then pulled up another boy and finally sat down at the same table.

Lu Yi did not mind their little antics and signaled the waiter to start serving the dishes.

Shengbaiwei’s dishes were as reputed, though others might have felt differently. An Ran, for one, found that every dish challenged her taste buds to the extreme. Be it the tender and flavorful meat or the rich and lingering soup, even the simplest greens had a unique texture.

An Ran was a foodie and was usually the one cooking at home. Though she had some cooking skills, she was no match for professionals.

An Ran was thoroughly satisfied with the food, and even the pain in her lower abdomen was significantly reduced.

Not just her, but nearly everyone at the two tables was engrossed in the feast. After all, most were kids from ordinary families who rarely had the chance to dine in such a high-class restaurant.

Lu Yi sat there, watching his classmates eat with great enjoyment, feeling very content. He always knew that the lower the social class, the easier it was to find genuine happiness, a kind of joy he had never seen in his circle.

He chose to study medicine to experience more of the fundamental joys and sorrows of life rather than spending every day in that circle, like his father, surrounded by data and hidden motives, masking his true emotions like wearing a mask.

Guo Xinyi wasn’t eating either. It wasn’t that she didn’t like the food, but considering it had been touched by her classmates, she refused to touch it. If it wasn’t for the legitimate excuse to share a meal with Lu Yi, she wouldn’t have deigned to sit with these lowlifes.

Seeing the leftovers on her classmates’ plates, she felt only disgust. She kicked Sun Beibei’s chair beside her. Sun Beibei was in the middle of stuffing a fish ball into her mouth when the kick caused it to get stuck in her throat.

Sun Beibei’s throat stretched as she quickly grabbed her cup, gulping down water to wash the fish ball down. Unfortunately, she didn’t get to savor its taste before it went down.

”Xinyi, what are you doing? Do you realize you’re trying to kill me?” Sun Beibei, another foodie, considered any interruption at meal times as akin to murder.

”Kill you? How much are you worth?” Guo Xinyi glanced at her, then signaled with her eyes. ”Stop just eating. Why did I ask you to sit here?”
