Now that they've all been reborn, who wouldn't be living life to the fullest?

The spacious and brightly decorated private room features a huge rotating table in the center, which can comfortably seat twenty people.

There are only eight people in the male and female dormitories combined. The fact that the Sichuan restaurant could still arrange such a large private room for Cao Huiyang when it was packed shows that they really value him.

This time, the kid really got away with it!

After everyone was seated, the boys and girls were clearly separated, with four people sitting on each of the east and west sides of the round table.

Chen Luoling wanted to sit next to Su Yifeng, but he persuaded her to stay by telling her to "be obedient."

He invited two dorm rooms to a get-together today, or rather, it can't be called a get-together.

The simple meal together was just to help Chen Luoling break the ice with her roommate. After all, she had promised her godfather, who was the provincial party secretary, that she should take good care of Chen Luoling.

If you have a falling out with your roommates in the dorm, your future days will definitely be miserable.

I don't expect to build a great relationship, but at least it has to look presentable on the surface.

Although it would be easy for Chen Luoling's family to move out and rent a place, her safety would be a major concern. Chen Luoling is so beautiful, should we hire a bodyguard to take her to and from school?

So this is the urban novel where the bodyguard starts in "The Mad Dragon Descends the Mountain," but this is a rebirth novel and doesn't have that condition.

Of course, the most important thing is that Chen Luoling has recovered from her serious illness. The doctor advised her to interact with people more. Interaction does not mean sticking together and talking all day, but rather staying in places where there are people.

Su Yifeng also felt that Chen Luoling should stay in more crowded places; the girl was too cold.

That being said, this meal only needs to win over Hu Xinyu, since she is the central figure among the girls in the dormitory.

At the dining table, everyone was given a menu.

Cao Huiyang waved his hand and said in a hearty manner, just like his father, "Order whatever you like. Everyone, don't be shy with me. It's fate that we met and sat together today."

In fact, you can get a general idea of ​​a person's character just by letting them order food.

When people open the menu, they see that a vegetarian dish starts at more than ten yuan, while a meat dish starts at more than thirty yuan.

Keep in mind that it was only 2006, and many people's monthly salary was just over a thousand.

Huang Tingting and Sheng Yue couldn't help but click their tongues in amazement. They came from ordinary families and their monthly living expenses were only 500 yuan. If they had to pay for this meal, they would be eating dirt for the rest of the month.

Suddenly, they found Cao Huiyang's slicked-back hair much more pleasing to the eye, as if wealthy people nowadays really do like to wear slicked-back hair.

After thinking for a moment, Huang Tingting felt that even if someone else was treating her, she shouldn't let them spend too much money, so she only ordered one inexpensive meat dish.

She would think it was too stingy to order just one vegetarian dish.

As expected of a wet nurse, Sheng Yue, thinking that she might as well take advantage of the invitation, ordered four dishes, three of which were meat dishes.

Hu Xinyu's expression didn't change at all when she saw the prices of the dishes. She ordered one meat dish and one vegetable dish and put down the menu. Su Yifeng and Chen Luoling did the same.

Although the fat man Wei Qi was fat, he knew how to behave, so he only ordered one meat dish.

The most conflicted person was undoubtedly Lin Gensheng; his hand was trembling as he held the menu—a plate of vegetables cost over ten yuan!

It's like robbery to him. His hometown is in the Sichuan-Chongqing region, and his family grows the vegetables on the menu. They only sell them for a few cents a pound at the town's market.

How come a simple stir-fry here costs more than ten yuan, dozens of times more? Lin Gengsheng couldn't understand but was greatly shocked.

"I never knew that the thing I raised with such care and love was so valuable in the city."

Lin Gensheng thought to himself, and at the same time ordered the cheapest dish. He didn't want to order it, but Fatty Wei Qi whispered something in his ear.

"Just order one dish; not ordering one would be disrespecting Brother Cao."

Lin Gensheng didn't understand why this was a matter of saving face when it came to helping people save money.

Finally, of course, it was Cao Huiyang who ended the discussion. He added a few more of the restaurant's signature dishes and ordered a case of beer before the meal was over.

Manager Wu and a male waiter walked out with the menu.

As the waiters left, the dinner party finally heated up, but the center of attention for the men shifted from Su Yifeng to Cao Huiyang.

Huang Tingting and Sheng Yue, in particular, kept glancing at Cao Huiyang, and the more they looked at him, the more they felt that he was actually quite good-looking.

Of course, a large part of the reason is that they feel they can't compete with Chen Luoling, and it's obvious that Chen Luoling has feelings for Su Yifeng.

At first glance, I thought Cao Huiyang was a pretentious show-off and didn't think he was good enough for me. Turns out I was wrong! He might be a bit pretentious, but he's got real substance!

In an instant, he went from being a guy to a potential boyfriend.

While waiting for the food to be served, everyone chatted casually. They were all students who had just finished the college entrance examination and didn't have much experience or knowledge. They had spent most of their first eighteen years in school.

We could only talk about local specialties from our hometowns and our college entrance exam scores. Getting into Nanjing University proved that everyone's scores were roughly the same, and we were all ranked in the top 150 in the province.

Only Chen Luoling, who ranked fourteenth in the province, drew a gasp of surprise.

As they chatted, Hu Xinyu suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Has any of you ever been in a relationship?"

The scene fell silent instantly.

Seeing that the man remained silent, Hu Xinyu asked with a curious expression, "Su Yifeng, with your good looks, you must have dated quite a few people, right?"

Others were also curious whether Su Yifeng had actually talked to her or not.

After chatting for so long, this was the only topic that Chen Luoling was interested in. She only became familiar with Su Yifeng after the college entrance examination, and before that, she had only met him a few times when they went up on the podium to receive awards.

"no."

Su Yifeng said without hesitation that he had never been in a relationship; those five or six women were just fellow Daoists who discussed Dao together.

Hu Xinyu continued, "I don't believe you. How can you prove it?"

At this moment, Chen Luoling spoke up: "I believe you."

The scene fell silent once again, but there was an inexplicable tension.

Just then, the door to the private room was pushed open, and several waiters brought out a variety of steaming, fragrant dishes.

Five dishes were served in just over ten minutes. If this were in modern times, people would definitely suspect that these were pre-made dishes.

Cao Huiyang quickly tried to smooth things over, "The food's here, everyone, let's eat and stop talking."

"As expected of the restaurant chosen by Brother Cao, it smells so good, my mouth is watering."

Fatty Wei Qi also got up and set out the dishes, asking seemingly casually.

"Brother Cao, what does your family do? We've been talking for so long and you still won't tell me. I'm so curious!"

The atmosphere changed once again as soon as this topic came up.

In fact, Huang Tingting and Sheng Yue had wanted to ask this for a long time, but they felt that asking would make them seem too materialistic.

They don't consider themselves materialistic girls.

Cao Huiyang leaned back in his chair. Finally, someone brought up this topic! He'd been pretending for so long, waiting for this moment!

Moreover, the timing of the question was so perfect, it just eased the previous stalemate.

It's time to show off again.

Cao Huiyang shook his head and said, "To be honest, my family isn't in business. We were just lucky. When I was in the second year of junior high school, our property was demolished and we were given three shops and eight apartments in the city. My family just collects rent. By the way, this is one of the shops."

hiss--

Everyone gasped in surprise, even Su Yifeng was somewhat taken aback, although he had already guessed that it was probably some kind of nouveau riche.

But I never expected Cao Huiyang's family to own so many properties. In another ten years, he'll definitely be a billionaire!

Sometimes it really is true that comparing yourself to others can be incredibly frustrating.
