Kuanzhai Alley, teeming with tourists.

In the middle of the pedestrian street was a Sichuan restaurant, a true hidden gem in the bustling city. Its prices were also at the apex of Chengdu’s Sichuan cuisine.

Zifei, taken from the saying, "You are not a fish; how can you know the happiness of fish?"

It was a three-story pavilion built to resemble a traditional courtyard house. A plaque inscribed with "Liang Meng Gao Feng," full of antiquated charm, added to its ancient elegance.

"This place is so beautiful!"

Du Xinxin, arm in arm with Qi Sheng, was pleasantly surprised by the serene courtyard that stood in stark contrast to the noisy street outside. She whispered to her two best friends.

"Well, of course. This is a Sichuan restaurant that costs over 1,000 per person. Naturally, its style isn’t on the same level as ordinary restaurants."

Tao Siyao rolled her eyes at Du Xinxin before turning to Qi Sheng with a smile. "You’re spending so much on us. I’ll treat you to a big meal next time."

"It’s nothing. You’re all Xinxin’s roommates. It’s only right that I treat you to a meal."

Qi Sheng smiled and led the girls straight inside.

The waitresses nearby were dressed in qipaos and hanfu.

Every one of them would score a 70 or higher on looks, showcasing the high-class style of the restaurant.

"Mr. Qi, shall we begin serving the dishes now?"

Inside the private room were two dedicated waitresses. Both were stunningly beautiful with slender figures.

One was responsible for serving, the other for introducing the dishes.

"Hmm, this room is a bit big. There are three more people in your dorm, right? Want to call them over too?"

Qi Sheng had originally planned to be on a date with Du Xinxin alone.

But since he already had two third wheels, three more wouldn’t make a difference.

"Can I really?"

Du Xinxin was a bit embarrassed. "This place is too expensive. I’m afraid you’ll spend too much."

"It’s a small thing. I don’t lack the money to treat your roommates. Hurry up and contact them. Tell them to get here within the hour."

Qi Sheng smiled and ruffled Du Xinxin’s hair.

’Things really are different once a relationship is confirmed. She even knows to save money for me now.’

"Mr. Qi, will the other three guests also be on the 3,080 per person dining plan?"

One of the waitresses came over and asked in a soft voice.

Naturally, Qi Sheng wouldn’t play favorites. He glanced at the menu that was to be prepared for them.

"Yes. For now, just bring us some fruit and snacks. Do you have performances here?"

"Yes, we have classic performances such as face-changing, tea ceremonies, dance, and so on. You can also choose the number of performers."

Qi Sheng looked at Du Xinxin and her friends, intending to see what kind of performance they would like.

Of the three young women, only Tao Siyao was relatively calm, but even she was astonished by Qi Sheng’s extravagance.

Treating her and her roommates to a meal at a standard of over 3,000 per person...

’This guy must be fabulously wealthy to be spending so extravagantly without a care.’

"Alright, let’s have a two-person face-changing performance first. After they’re done, we’ll have a two-person tea ceremony."

Qi Sheng glanced at the price list—they were 1,200 per show—and casually pointed at the names of the two performances.

"Of course. Please wait a moment."

The waitress bowed slightly, then went to prepare fruits and tea for Qi Sheng’s party.

"Qi Sheng, you’ve really spent too much on this meal."

Tao Siyao did a quick calculation. For seven people, the food alone would be 21,560.

Add the 2,400 for the two shows, and it was already close to thirty thousand.

"As long as everyone is happy. Besides, I’ve never experienced watching a face-changing performance in a private room either."

Qi Sheng waved his hand dismissively, his mind already working on how to shake off these tagalongs.

So he could take Du Xinxin on the next part of their date alone.

’From the way Du Xinxin is looking at me, her affection level must have shot up to 90+ by now.’

’But the system hasn’t reacted, which means I’m still missing the most crucial step.’

While they were busy taking pictures in the private room, Qi Sheng used his phone to book a presidential suite at the Regent.

After booking the room, Qi Sheng sent a message to Tan Hua, telling her he was going to another city that evening to inspect an investment project.

Then he put his phone down and watched the face-changing performance, his mind at ease.

An hour had passed by the time the face-changing and tea ceremony performances were over.

Du Xinxin’s other three roommates had also arrived. They were all attractive young women.

"Xinxin, so this is your boyfriend? He’s so handsome!"

One doesn’t speak ill of a benefactor. The three newly arrived girls started laying on the flattery.

They had looked it up on their way over.

The prices at this Zifei place were not low—it was 1,300 per person.

They could never afford such a high-end restaurant.

"Hee hee, hurry up and sit down. We’ve been waiting for a while."

Du Xinxin clung to Qi Sheng’s arm, her face lit up with a sweet smile that was incredibly infectious.

For a girl like her, who was only eighteen...

...having a boyfriend she could be proud of made her want to tell the whole world.

Qi Sheng’s initiative in inviting her other three roommates had also moved her deeply.

She was even planning to secretly ditch the two third wheels later for the second half of her date with her boyfriend.

"Wow, Xinxin, is your necklace Bvlgari?"

One of the sharp-eyed girls noticed the small, fan-shaped necklace Du Xinxin was wearing and asked in surprise.

"Mhm, my boyfriend gave it to me. It costs 100,000!"

Du Xinxin had a childlike nature and wasn’t at all cunning, so she started showing it off right away.

"100,000?"

The three girls who had just arrived were completely stunned.

They couldn’t help but glance at the calm and composed Qi Sheng, their hearts filling with envy for Du Xinxin’s good fortune.

To think she could run into such a top-tier, rich, and handsome guy just by going out for a meal.

"Alright, stop making such a big deal. It’s embarrassing."

"This meal we’re about to have costs over 3,000 per person."

Tao Siyao covered her face, speaking with a sense of resignation.

"Over 3,000 per person?"

The three girls exchanged a look, completely dumbfounded.

Didn’t the search say this place was 1,300 per person? How could there be a 3,000+ dining plan?

"The rich and ordinary people are two completely different groups. High-end restaurants like this naturally have top-tier ingredients reserved for the wealthy, so of course the dining standards are different."

Tao Siyao came from a well-off family, but even she wouldn’t casually eat a meal that cost over 3,000 per person.

Let alone treat others to such a feast.

"Xinxin, you’re so lucky to have such a generous boyfriend!"

The girl who had recognized the Bvlgari necklace thought about her own stingy rich-second-generation boyfriend.

He wouldn’t even buy her a bag from a top-tier luxury brand, only getting her a Coach bag.

They were both from the second-generation rich, but the difference between them was absurd.

"Shi Jiajia, rein in your flirtatious act. You have a boyfriend, you know."

Tao Siyao couldn’t stand to watch it anymore.

This girl had her intention to seduce Qi Sheng written all over her face.

"Hah, I’ve been wanting to break up with him for ages," Shi Jiajia said. "Young Master Qi, do you know any friends you could introduce me to? Even someone not as well-off as you would be fine."

Shi Jiajia batted her big eyes, sending sparks toward Qi Sheng.

To be fair, she was a pretty girl who would score an 80, and she was very tempting to ordinary men.

But Qi Sheng had shown no interest in two other top-tier beauties who scored 90+,

so why would he care about a girl of her level?

"My friends all have girlfriends. And the ones who don’t, you probably wouldn’t be interested in."

Qi Sheng had no interest in talking much with a girl of this caliber; he’d rather focus on keeping the little lady by his side happy.

"Mwah! Such a good boy!"

Du Xinxin planted a satisfied kiss on Qi Sheng’s cheek.

She could, of course, see that woman Shi Jiajia trying to seduce her boyfriend.

’Seduce’ wasn’t quite accurate; she was just sending out signals.

Qi Sheng had responded politely, but his gaze never left her, which made her incredibly happy.
