Gulping, Bai Qingqing held onto Curtisâs hand and said softly, âItâs too expensive. Letâs leave.â
Curtisâs good mood froze here. He put her on his lap and said calmly, âGo ahead and order. Weâll leave after the money is used up.â
Was it still not enough? He thought that itâd at least be enough to let Snow have her fill with whatever she wanted to eat. He didnât expect that they wouldnât be able to afford a slightly better meal.
How low were they on the social hierarchy? In a world without his care, how much hardship had Snow been through?
Curtis couldnât bear to continue thinking about this. He picked up the menu that Bai Qingqing had put down, then said, âHurry up. If you go back late, your parents will ask you for an explanation.â
Curtis still wasnât used to the fact that females and males were on equal grounds. He still treated his mate as a precious female.
However, every child in the modern world was a precious treasure to their parents. This time around, he didnât have any misunderstandings about this.
Seeing this, the restaurantâs waitress immediately walked over to take their orders, her eyes occasionally sneaking glances at Curtis.
He was really handsome. To think that a guy could sport red long hair so well. He looked really cool.
He treated his girlfriend well and was also rich. Gosh! Where did this high-quality hunk come from?
Bai Qingqing noticed that they were being sized up by an outsider and quickly got up from Curtisâs lap.
Bai Qingqing understood Curtis. Hearing him say this, she knew that they wouldnât be able to leave unless they ate something here today. She held in the pain and ordered a few of the cheapest dishes.
She ordered a total of five dishes estimated to be around 1,000 yuan. Only then did the waitress leave reluctantly with the menu.
Very soon, the first dish was served. It was still the same waitress.
It was just a simple greasy back shrimp dish as if there wasnât any seasoning at all. Bai Qingqing hadnât had a seafood feast before and felt that it wasnât worth it. She asked with uncertainty, âIs it just this?â
âYes. For seafood, whatâs important is to have them fresh. These prawns were caught from the sea early this morning.
Although she didnât have any particular intention when saying this, Curtis put his own meaning into her words. Bai Qingqing didnât wish to talk anymore, but Curtis asked, âWhere were they caught from? Is the place close to the seas?â
âItâs from the nearest sea. Of course, itâs near. If our city wasnât close to the seas, itâd be hard to sustain this restaurant,â said the waitress.
Curtisâs lips curled up, his thin but bright lips looking beautiful and mesmerizing like poppies. Even though poppies were extremely poisonous, people find it hard to not be fatally attracted by them.
Even Bai Qingqing was stunned for an instant. Curtis smiled. He had actually smiled. Hey, he looked really happy.
She then suddenly understood. Right! Curtis could go to the seas directly to hunt! Curtis could swim freely in the seas and have his fill!
The waitress was completely stunned.
In view that the waitress had given him a satisfactory lead, Curtis stayed in a good mood and didnât hold the young femaleâs audacious gaze against her. He patted Bai Qingqingâs hand and said, âThe dish is going to get cold. Letâs eat.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âAh, oh.â Bai Qingqing smiled and nodded. It was bought with money, after all. No matter how upset she felt, they mustnât waste it. She immediately started eating.
This dish was really quite fresh. The prawns had a light taste of sweetness.
But so what if they were fresh? What kind of fresh food had they not eaten in the beastmen world? At the thought of how these things didnât cost a cent in the beastmen world, Bai Qingqingâs heart ached. Her mood only improved at the thought that they had taken care of the problem of Curtisâs food.
Curtis was very satisfied with the food, and his brows relaxed.
âNot bad.â It was rare for him to give a compliment.
