On the day of military training, he used an over-the-shoulder throw to take down the fierce school b

The two chose to have dinner at Wanda Plaza near Shenzhen University. The newly opened Haidilao restaurant on the fourth floor was located there in 2011, when it was the most popular hot pot restaurant.

Back then, Haidilao was not cheap.

100 per person.

It's worth noting that Qin Ming's monthly living expenses are only 1500 yuan.

A top-quality pork knuckle rice dish with a whole round hoof and all the ingredients would cost no more than 30 yuan.

However, Qin Ming knew that Xia Yue was a rich second-generation, so he didn't save money for her.

"Welcome, gentlemen."

When handsome men and beautiful women come to dine, the waiters become even more enthusiastic.

"One hot pot base with three kinds of seafood, and one with a spicy broth, please..."

After two days of getting to know each other, Xia Yue learned that Qin Ming was a local from Guangdong Province and didn't like spicy food, so she chose a hot pot with two broths.

The ordering process was very smooth; the usual meat and vegetable dishes were all ordered in no time.

Next step in the hot pot meal: the condiment dish.

As a northerner, Xia Yue mainly uses sesame paste as her dipping sauce, while Qin Ming, a southerner, chooses an oil-based dipping sauce.

"What the hell?"

"Your dipping sauce is way too bland!"

"Are you sure you don't want to add some sesame paste?"

Xia Yue was surprised that Qin Ming's dipping sauce was too simple, and pointed to the sesame sauce dipping sauce in her hand: "Why don't you try mine? I'm an expert when it comes to hot pot dipping sauces!!"

"No..."

As a southerner, Qin Ming rejects sesame paste, a condiment that can make your mouth feel sticky and has a strong flavor: "A simple oil dipping sauce can better bring out the flavor of the ingredients themselves."

"But does it really taste good like this?"

Xia Yue looked at her with a puzzled expression: "Can you even call it hot pot without sesame sauce...?"

Qin Ming's eyes flickered. In their previous life, the two of them had struggled with choosing which dipping sauce to use when eating hot pot.

Xia Yue from the North insists that sesame paste is the best of the best, while Qin Ming from the South believes that oil-based dipping sauce is the most popular.

No matter how you try, you can't convince anyone.

In the end, they each stuck to their own tastes.

But in this life, the two have just gotten together, so Xia Yue is still trying to make changes.

"Brother, listen to me, this sauce I made is so good it'd taste good even if you dipped the soles of your shoes!!"

"I admit, your condiment dish is quite good, but dipping your food in such a strong sauce makes it feel like you're just eating the sauce. Eating is mainly about enjoying the flavor of the ingredients themselves."

"The purpose of seasonings is to bring out the natural flavor of the ingredients. Simple sesame oil and soy sauce are enough. We shouldn't use strong seasonings like sesame paste to overpower the natural flavors."

"That's true, but sesame sauce and hot pot meat are a perfect match. How can you eat meat without sesame paste?!"

"Stop talking so much, just try mine!"

"Then you should try mine!"

"Pah! What the hell?!"

"This mahjong is too sore on the throat, dipping sauce is forever the best!!"

"Give me a break, your dipping sauce has no flavor at all, sesame sauce is the real deal!!"

After trying each other's condiments, Xia Yue and Qin Ming decided to eat their own.

The waitress standing nearby watched the two of them with a fond, aunt-like smile. Even when they were arguing, they were still good-looking.

……

"Forehead…"

Xia Yue let out a long burp, patting her flat stomach like an old man: "So full..."

Xia Yue has no airs about being a pretty girl. She does whatever makes her comfortable and would never pretend to eat in small bites, nor would she pretend to be full after eating only a little.

"Hey bro, are you full?"

"Hmm..."

"I just checked, there's a supermarket downstairs, let's go down and do some shopping to digest our food..."

"Hmm..."

Xia Yue waved her hand: "Waiter, the bill, please!"

"Okay."

"The two of you spent a total of 230 yuan tonight..."

Although Xia Yue waved to ask for the bill, the waiter habitually handed the bill to Qin Ming, who was a man.

The waiter instinctively assumed that the person paying the bill was a man.

Qin Ming wouldn't tell the waiter that Xia Yue paid for the meal. Instead of reaching for the bill, he pointed to Xia Yue across the table and said to the waiter, "She's my girlfriend."

"uh-huh?"

Xia Yue originally intended to ask for the bill, but stopped halfway through, wanting to see what tricks Qin Ming had up his sleeve.

The waiter was taken aback at first, then smiled and said, "Sir, I really envy you having such a beautiful and gentle girlfriend..."

Just a reminder: "By the way, the total cost for this transaction is 230 yuan..."

Qin Ming pointed at Xia Yue again and repeated, "She's my girlfriend..."

"I know, sir, that having such an outstanding woman as your girlfriend is truly a great blessing in life."

The waiter spoke again: "Honestly, I believe that all the men here are just as envious as I am of you for having such a generous and beautiful girlfriend."

"Why…"

Qin Ming still didn't take the bill, and instead asked the waiter, "You probably don't have a boyfriend yet, right?"

"Ah... well... I really don't have a boyfriend yet..."

The waiter was clearly taken aback, obviously not understanding what having a partner had to do with paying the bill.

"No wonder you don't understand..."

Qin Ming said earnestly, "A man with a girlfriend may speak with confidence, but he's broke... so you should give her the bill..."

"Oh, this..." The waiter was a little embarrassed.

Will I be broke when looking for a partner?

Why bother finding a partner?!

Xia Yue rolled her eyes at Qin Ming, casually took the bill, glanced at it and paid after finding no problems.

As soon as the waiter left, Xia Yue immediately teased, "Little brother, you're quite self-aware."

"Hi!!"

Qin Ming teased, giving him a look that said, "You've got a great deal! I'm going to be a super nice guy who hands over his salary card from now on. You're getting a steal by dating someone like me!!"

"Really?"

The moment Xia Yue questioned him, Qin Ming pulled out his bank card and handed it to her: "A man's word is his bond. The password is my birthday, and you'll be keeping it safe from now on!!"

Xia Yue's brain almost shut down; she never expected Qin Mingzhen to hand over his "salary card."

"Holy crap, are you serious?"

"No, you gave me the card, so what are you going to do now?"

"What? What should we do?"

Qin Ming spoke up very naturally: "Anyway, I've given you the card, and you can allocate all the money. I'll just follow your arrangements."

Qin Ming wasn't flustered at all when he handed his bank card to Xia Yue.

On his first day of school, Qin Ming loaded 500 yuan onto his school meal card. Now, he only has 1000 yuan left on the card. There's nothing he can do; Qin Ming's living expenses are only 1500 yuan.

Xia Yue, a rich second-generation, naturally wouldn't care about 1000 yuan.

Secondly, Qin Ming was very clear about Xia Yue's character.

Xia Yue was not a greedy person.

Even if there were a million in her account, Xia Yue wouldn't have any bad thoughts.

"Brother..."

Xia Yue was touched. She didn't care how much money was in the bank account; what she cared about was Qin Ming's attitude.

Although the two had only been "together" for two days, Qin Ming was able to hand over his bank card to her directly, which shows that Qin Ming fully trusted her.

This guy is really great!!

"We haven't reached that point yet..."

Xia Yue stuffed the bank card back into Qin Ming's hand, and at the same time, she also deliberately put her paw into Qin Ming's hand.

Qin Ming took back his bank card with some disappointment.

His attempt to hook up with a rich woman failed.

However, Qin Ming was very satisfied with Xia Yue's initiative in offering her paw.
