Chapter 368: He Was Swiftly Losing His Status As The Older Sibling
Huo Xiang opened his wallet to take out a card and placed it in front of his little sister. “Use this card. Don’t be shy.”
Just as Huo Yao was about to pass the menu to Huo Xiang, she saw the card before her.
Huo Yao raised her head and looked at him with question marks plastered all over her face.
Huo Xiang coughed. “Just tell me if you need money.”
Huo Yao’s lips twitched hard.
Did she look broke?
It was just a matter of principle that she wanted to save money, ok!
Huo Yao pressed her forehead before she said helplessly, “I don’t need the card.”
She ignored him and went on to order four dishes and a soup before returning the menu to the waiter.
Huo Xiang lamented in his heart when his little sister refused to accept his card. If it were Lu Xia, she would have happily taken it without hesitation and gone on a wild shopping spree.
Huo Yao knew nothing about the thoughts buzzing in Huo Xiang’s head. She could not help shaking her head slightly when she saw how silly he looked.
She had no idea how someone as foolish as Huo Xiang could end up being a top celebrity.
Did he get lucky or something?
“Brother Xiang, you can take off your mask. Since this place is extremely private, you don’t have to worry about getting recognized,” said Huo Yao when she noticed that Huo Xiang was still wearing his mask.
Huo Xiang realized that he had yet to remove his mask.
He placed his mask in his shirt pocket. He asked Huo Yao curiously. “How did you find out about a place like this? Who is Old Mr. Yi that the waiter was talking about?”
“A friend of mine recommended it. Thanks to my friend, the restaurant owner even gave me a discount card. That’s all,” replied Huo Yao simply.
Huo Xiang touched his nose. Judging from the waiter’s attitude, they did not seem to be serving them with such care simply because of the card. However, it was true that the place was quiet and secluded.
“Try some of their pastries. They are good.” Huo Yao pointed at the pastry on the table.
Huo Xiang wanted to say no, considering how sweet it looked. However, he placed a piece in his mouth and said after he sampled it, “It’s pretty tasty.”
“Have more if you like it.” Huo Yao smiled gently.
Before long, the waiter placed the dishes on the table. The soup was not ready yet, so he only sent in four dishes and left.
“The food looks to be easily digestible,” commented Huo Xiang.
“Medicinal dishes are mostly Cantonese food, and they tend to be light on the stomach. However, they are highly nutritious. Such dishes work best for people like you who sing all the time,” said Huo Yao as she placed some food in his bowl.
Huo Xiang sighed in his heart when he caught sight of Huo Yao’s actions.
It felt as though he was no longer the older sibling again.
He lowered his head and decided to eat quietly.
Yi Lianfan poured the soup into a bowl when it was ready. The waiter wanted to take the tray, but Yi Lianfan stopped him.
“Let me send the soup in,” said Yi Lianfan calmly.
He took a day off each week to learn how to cook at the restaurant. Each time he cooked, he would check with the customers about the taste of the food and try to perfect his skills.
The supervisor frowned as he stood beside Yi Lianfan.
Even though Little Master was here to practice cooking, the soup was intended for Huo Yao’s private room. The moment the supervisor recalled how she had criticized Old Mr. Yi, he was worried about the rude things that she might say this time. He hastily said, “Little Master, don’t trouble yourself in sending this bowl of soup. Why don’t you continue cooking?”
Yi Lianfan removed the gloves from his hands and said without looking up, “It’s fine. I can continue cooking after sending the soup in.”
