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

The next day at noon, after the military training ended, Qin Ming went to have lunch with Xia Yue as usual.

In addition, there are Qin Ming's three roommates, and Xia Yue's roommate Qian Yinuo.

After reserving a seat, Qin Ming was about to go get his food when Li Jiahao stopped him, saying, "Brother Qin, you don't need to do such a small thing as getting food yourself. I'll do it."

"That's right, Brother Qin, you just wait here, we'll go make the arrangements." Zheng Zhanbo and Zhang Junning chimed in.

"Alright..."

Qin Ming thought Li Jiahao was joking when he said he would treat everyone yesterday, but he didn't expect it to be true.

A short while later, Li Jiahao brought out the food.

The tray was piled high with meat; there wasn't a single vegetable in sight.

Deep-fried prawns, poached chicken, roast goose, pig's feet, and braised pork ribs with potatoes—among a mountain of dishes, rice was pitifully scarce. And that wasn't all; they even thoughtfully provided iced tea served in the cold.

However, looking at Li Jiahao and his group's meal, it was just a simple meal with two meat dishes and one vegetable dish.

The combined dishes for the three of them didn't even amount to as much as the dishes Qin Ming made alone.

"Holy crap..."

Xia Yue and Qian Yinuo, who had just returned with two bowls of noodles, were both surprised to see the tray of meat on Qin Ming's plate, which was almost overflowing.

This feeling is especially strong when there is a comparison.

"Guojiao...a pretty boy's meal..."

Qin Ming himself was also shocked as he looked at his three roommates: "You...you guys are sending me to kill someone...!"

This dish is practically the standard for raising assassins in the new era.

"What the hell?"

Xia Yue's eyes widened: "Guojiao? Maozi?"

Qin Ming picked up the iced tea, twisted off the cap, and handed it to Xia Yue, gesturing for her to take a sip.

"Forehead…"

Xia Yue opened her mouth and took a sip. On a hot summer day, such a sip was incredibly refreshing and invigorating: "How come I never realized this stuff was so delicious before?!"

Qin Ming concluded, "Now you know why this stuff is called Guojiao (national liquor), right?"

"Cool!!"

Xia Yue responded with action, taking another swig and pointing to the dishes on Qin Ming's tray: "So... this is a pretty meal for boys? Are these all your favorite foods?"

Qin Ming glanced at the meat and vegetables in front of him: "It's alright... but I think no guy would refuse it..."

"Perhaps to you, this is just a meal with a lot of vegetables, but the almost overflowing meat contains so much emotion or kindness!!"

"Okay... alright..."

Although Xia Yue has a carefree personality, she is still a girl at heart and doesn't understand the special bond between boys.

For men, inviting someone to dinner usually means they want something from them.

If they even add extra dishes, then what they're asking for is definitely not simple.

Therefore, Qin Ming hesitated to pick up his chopsticks.

The reason Li Jiahao and his group invited Qin Ming to dinner was because they were taking the compensation Qin Ming had given them for fishing, but they certainly wouldn't tell Qin Ming about this directly.

Li Jiahao lied, "Brother Qin, you're overthinking it. We really didn't mean anything by it... We just wanted to treat you to dinner, but we didn't know what you liked, so we got a little bit of everything..."

"You got a little bit of everything?"

Looking at the tray piled high with meat, Qin Ming redefined the meaning of the word "a little bit".

a little?

Are you sure it's not a hundred million?

"Are you all really alright?"

"It's okay, it'll get cold if we don't eat it soon..."

Li Jiahao and the others responded, then took out their phones while eating, scrolling through their phones.

He would pause eating every now and then to reply to messages, looking very busy.

"What are you all busy with?"

Qin Ming didn't quite understand why his three roommates were eating while frantically playing on their phones.

"Busy chatting with girls..."

Before Zheng Zhanbo could finish speaking, Li Jiahao kicked him and quickly said, "We're leveling up..."

Leveling up?

That's absolutely right!

Last night, a bunch of girls added them on WeChat, and they're busy chatting with them to improve their online chatting skills.

"oh oh…"

Qin Ming assumed they were playing some kind of game and didn't pay any attention, chatting casually with Xia Yue.

"Let me try your ribs..."

"This braised pork knuckle is quite delicious too; the fatty parts are stewed until tender, and it's not greasy at all..."

"Try this poached chicken, it's authentic Qingyuan chicken, it has a really good chicken flavor."

"Isn't it normal for chicken to smell like chicken?"

"Wait, why is there still blood in this poached chicken? How can we eat it raw?"

"Live chicken, cook duck; poached chicken won't taste good if it's overcooked, so a little bit of blood is normal..."

"..."

Just as Qin Ming and Xia Yue were chatting, Zhang Junning put down his phone, feeling a little annoyed, and looked at the two of them with envy, who seemed to have something to talk about all the time.

"What's wrong?"

Qin Ming felt Zhang Junning's gaze and casually asked a question.

Zhang Junning said with a troubled expression, "Brother Qin, how can I become like you, always having plenty to talk about with your wife?"

Qin Ming: "Because of that senior student in the literature club?"

"Hmm... I don't know how to start a conversation with her..."

Zhang Junning's troubles are not unique to him; Li Jiahao and Zheng Zhanbo share the same worries.

Although they added quite a few girls on WeChat by using Qin Ming as a bait.

But once the girls knew the information they wanted to know, they stopped talking to them, and some even deleted them.

Qin Ming casually suggested, "If you really don't know what to talk about, how about some riddles? They're fun and interactive."

Li Jiahao pressed further, "For example?"

What animals can't take a bath?

Qin Ming posed the question, and Li Jiahao and Zheng Zhanbo both looked like they were thinking hard. Even Qian Yinuo next to Xia Yue was attracted by the question and looked like she was deep in thought.

"I know!!"

Xia Yue raised her hand, her arms forming an L-shape, and exclaimed, "It's a chicken!!"

"Why, sister-in-law?"

Li Jiahao and the others all turned their gazes toward Xia Yue.

"Because chickens shouldn't get wet!!"

Knowing the answer, Xia Yue gave him a knowing look, as if to say, "I know, praise me!" Qin Ming understood and smiled, affirming, "Great, you're pretty smart."

"hey-hey…"

Xia Yue's smile widened even more after receiving confirmation: "A little more!!"

Qin Ming then posed another question: "What do you do when you run out of toilet paper?"

Before Li Jiahao and the others could react, Xia Yue raised her hand again and answered, "Simple, just go find the Emperor!!"

Even after knowing the answer, Qian Yinuo was still completely bewildered: "Why would you go to the Emperor if there's no toilet paper?"

Xia Yue offered a pun-filled answer: "Because the Emperor issued an edict (with paper)!!"

"This works?"

Qian Yinuo chuckled, and Li Jiahao and the others also had expressions of sudden realization.

What animal walks unsteadily?

"The fox, because it's cunning (slippery)!!"

Why do hairdressers have to carry water with them when they go out?

"Because Tony is so indecisive!!"

What would a triangular tree species become in Antarctica?

"Trigonometric functions (Hanshu)!!"

"What is Aladdin's father's brother's name?"

"Arab!!"

Qin Ming threw out several riddles in a row, and Xia Yue, who was on the same wavelength, was able to perfectly catch them.
