The reason humans have become the dominant species on this planet is, on one hand, due to their powerful learning ability, and on the other hand, when they sense danger, they can follow their hearts and make the best choices for themselves.
"Actually, everyone has their own strengths. Appearance is not everything; inner beauty is the most important. People like me and Xiaoru, who are beautiful both inside and out, are very rare. We are truly sorry for inadvertently raising your standards so much!" Zhou Yue said apologetically to Lin Fei.
"It's fine, it's fine. I'm getting treatment that most people would envy!" Lin Fei said, pulling the corners of his mouth.
Wang Xiaoru didn't say anything, her eyes couldn't hide her smile as she silently watched these two clowns.
"Come, beautiful ladies, to express my apologies, you can order whatever you want tonight and eat to your heart's content." Lin Fei handed the menu to Zhou Yue and Wang Xiaoru with a domineering air.
"Bro, you made 230 million today!" Lin Fei thought to himself.
"Hey, then we won't be polite, landlord." Zhou Yue teased.
Corn, golden needle mushrooms, potatoes, green peppers, radishes, lettuce, broccoli, taro, yams, sausages, mutton, beef, chicken wings, squid, baby cuttlefish, shrimp, snails, dried fish slices, oysters, crabs, and pig brains.
Lin Fei looked at the menu they handed over and called the waiter over.
"Beautiful ladies, these items, plus two Australian lobsters, a bottle of coconut juice, and a dozen ice beers." Lin Fei said.
Zhou Yue and Wang Xiaoru looked at Lin Fei. After the waiter left, Wang Xiaoru advised, "What we ordered is enough for us. Any more would be a waste."
Zhou Yue asked curiously, "Lin Fei, did you make a fortune?"
Lin Fei thought, "What's with this woman? She can even guess that I made a fortune."
"Haha, Zhou Yue, you're really amazing. You should be a fortune-teller, not a yoga instructor." Lin Fei said to her.
"Really? Did you win the lottery?" Zhou Yue asked.
"No, something so unreliable wouldn't happen to me. I have a piece of ore. Today, I took it to the Ability Management Bureau for appraisal, and it turned out to be a spiritual material. The bureau bought it for 1 million." Lin Fei casually replied.
"Congratulations! You're really lucky." Wang Xiaoru sincerely congratulated him.
"What luck! Just a random stone could fetch a million. Where did you get that stone? I want to get one too." Zhou Yue said enviously.
"You don't have to think about it. I found it by chance when I went to the flower and bird market to buy your birthday gift." Lin Fei casually lied.
"In that case, you finding that stone was all thanks to me. I must be your lucky star!" Zhou Yue said proudly.
"Right! My lucky star, the skewers are here, let's eat!" Lin Fei had no idea what to do with this woman, so he could only use food to shut her up.
Lin Fei poured a glass of coconut juice for Wang Xiaoru and opened two cans of beer for himself and Zhou Yue.
"Hey, why are you drinking beer today? Don't you dislike it?" Zhou Yue asked in confusion.
"No choice. Today, my lucky star made me earn a million for nothing, so I definitely have to drink with you. Eating skewers without beer always feels like something is missing, right?" Lin Fei said with a chuckle.
Zhou Yue was stunned for a moment, then said domineeringly, "Alright! It's rare for you to drink with me today. We won't go home until we're drunk."
"This woman, knowing she can drink well and seeing that I usually don't drink, thinks she can easily knock me out. She wants to get me drunk! Unfortunately, her plan will fail." Lin Fei didn't say anything, just smiled and nodded.
...
Time slowly passed. Although it was already very late, the night food barbecue restaurant's business was getting better and better, with more and more people. Laughter, cheers, and loud laughter intertwined, and everyone was releasing their life pressures.
The bottles on the table were piling up. Zhou Yue felt a bit dizzy, looked up at the moon, and saw it as two. With a thud, she fell onto the table.
"Xiaoyue, are you okay?" Wang Xiaoru asked worriedly.
"I'm fine, I can still drink." Zhou Yue mumbled drowsily.
"Since you can drink so well, why don't you let her off? Why did you have to get her drunk?" Wang Xiaoru scolded Lin Fei.
Lin Fei, who was busy with the Australian lobster, looked up and said with a smile, "How was I supposed to know she can't hold her liquor? She always seems so bold, I thought she could drink very well, but she's so weak."
"I'm not weak, I'm not, I can still drink, I can still drink." Zhou Yue said with a red face.
"Alright! Stop talking, we know you're strong and can drink." Wang Xiaoru comforted Zhou Yue.
"Alright, I'm full. Let's pay and go home." Lin Fei wiped his hands with a wet towel and said to Wang Xiaoru.
Lin Fei got up and walked to the cash register, paid with his phone, a total of 5080 yuan. The owner, knowing Lin Fei was a regular customer, waived the change.
Lin Fei once again marveled at the convenience of high technology. Nowadays, you don't need to carry a lot of cash; you can pay by scanning wherever you go.
After paying, Lin Fei went out and saw Wang Xiaoru looking at him helplessly.
"What's wrong?" Lin Fei asked as he walked over to her.
"She doesn't want to walk, she wants you to carry her." Wang Xiaoru said embarrassedly.
"She's so fat, how can I carry her?" Lin Fei said insincerely.
"I'm not fat! You're fat, you're fat." Zhou Yue, hearing someone say she was fat, suddenly lifted her red face and shouted at Lin Fei.
People around them heard Zhou Yue's loud shout and looked at Lin Fei and the others. Seeing that one of the two beautiful women was already drunk, they secretly praised: This guy is amazing! To make such a beautiful woman lose her composure and get drunk, he's truly a role model for us.
Lin Fei, seeing the admiring looks from the men around him, was at a loss.
Lin Fei helplessly walked to Zhou Yue, knelt down, and said to her, "Come on!"
"Alright! Get up, Lin Fei agreed to carry you." Wang Xiaoru said to Zhou Yue while pulling her up and placing her on Lin Fei's back.
With a thud, Zhou Yue fell heavily onto Lin Fei's back. Lin Fei, caught off guard, stumbled, and Zhou Yue almost knocked him to the ground.
"This stupid woman, even when drunk, she still wants to oppose me. She almost made me lose face in front of so many people." Lin Fei grumbled.
Zhou Yue, lying on Lin Fei's back, instinctively tightened her grip around his neck.
"Cough, cough, cough! Lighten up! Miss, are you trying to strangle me? This way, you can take revenge for the drinking earlier!" Lin Fei, almost choked by Zhou Yue's sudden grip, rolled his eyes and reached out with his right hand to gently pat Zhou Yue's arm around his neck.
"If you don't let go, I won't carry you. You can sleep on the ground here!" Lin Fei made his final move.
