Chapter 81 It Wasn't My Turn to Pay

Just as things were getting out of hand, Peng Liangpei finally arrived from outside.

It turned out she wasn't in the dorm at all; she had gone with a senior from the art academy to buy ink.

Upon seeing the scene in front of the girls' dormitory, and after finding out what had happened, she snatched a bottle of ink from her senior's arms, unscrewed the cap, and splashed it all over the small print under the iron sign that read, "Girls Only, Men and Dogs Not Allowed."

He then grabbed Gu Feng's hand and left without looking back.

Just as the show was reaching its climax, Peng Yaojin suddenly appeared, much to everyone's dismay.

The most disappointing person was the security guard.

She watched the two figures disappear into the distance, sighing inwardly: What a handsome little boy, snatched away by that little vixen. What a pity, such a pity.

Peng Jingpei held Gu Feng's hand and walked quite a distance before suddenly realizing that she had been holding his hand the whole time. Her face flushed, and she hurriedly let go, but her tone was still harsh: "Gu Feng, why are you arguing with those vulgar people?"

"Vulgar?" Gu Feng blushed slightly, but still argued, "Who can truly escape vulgarity when living in this mundane world?"

That's quite an interesting point. The senior brothers following behind couldn't help but think to themselves, "Just now he was jumping up and down like a shrew, but now he's all deep and profound when he's talking to the beautiful Mu." It seems this junior brother is good at playing favorites, saying whatever suits him, and when he sees a stunning beauty, he only says the nice things.

Mu Meiren fell silent, as if slowly pondering his offhand remark.

After leaving the school gate, Mu Meiren led them to an elegant restaurant. She had only intended to treat Gu Feng alone, but she hadn't expected him to bring such a large group, as if he were going to treat a lavish meal. She couldn't help but curse this blockhead inwardly for his lack of romantic understanding.

The senior students glanced at the restaurant's lavish decor, but their hearts pounded with apprehension. With the month drawing to a close, everyone was strapped for cash; a meal for seven people here would cost at least two people's entire month's food allowance.

"Junior brother..." Li Xiaolan stammered, "Um, can we go somewhere else?"

The others nearby nodded in agreement. It's your business if you're chasing girls; we don't have to be dragged down with you.

"Isn't this place nice?" Gu Feng glanced around. The decor was unique and quiet, making it a perfect spot for eating, drinking, and chatting.

"It's good, but there's a problem." Yang Xiaochen quietly twirled his fingers at Gu Feng.

That gesture, of course, meant money.

"Hehe, money is not a problem." Gu Feng suddenly realized and smiled faintly.

"The problem is he has no money," the group said in unison.

"Don't worry, fellow senior brothers, someone's paying for today's meal. Just eat to your heart's content," Gu Feng said confidently.

Peng Jingpei's brows furrowed as she listened. Oh no, she'd really been taken advantage of this time. You, Gu Feng, do you think I'll treat you to a meal again next time? Humph.

When ordering food, Peng Jingpei still maintained a ladylike demeanor. After all, she had personally agreed to treat everyone, and even if there were more people, it would only mean eating a few more bites of food; at worst, her wallet would shrink a bit.

She very politely handed the menu to Gu Feng, expecting him to at least feign a few words of refusal. To her surprise, he readily accepted it and then shoved it at his fellow senior brothers, his tone incredibly generous: "Senior brothers, order whatever you like, don't worry about the money. What is money? Money is just dirt. Don't be polite with me, or I'll argue with anyone who is."

"It's not your money, so of course you don't care." Peng Liangpei gritted her teeth in anger, her pink cheeks puffed out as she glared at the few heads pointing and gesturing at the menu, her eyes clearly saying—"If anyone dares to be rude, I'll fight them."

While the woman before them was undeniably beautiful, the senior brothers had already taken this wooden beauty for their junior brother's woman. Adhering to the principle that one should not covet a brother's wife, they ignored her beauty, their minds solely focused on finding the real feast on the menu.

As it turned out, these senior students really didn't stand on ceremony with Gu Feng, ordering a table full of dishes and an extra case of beer. Li Xiaolan humbly said, "I have classes this afternoon, so I'll just have a little to show for it."

Peng Jingpei broke out in a cold sweat. If they only wanted a case as a token gesture, how much would it cost if they actually drank it properly?

The dishes were served one after another very quickly.

At first, the brothers tried their best to maintain their composure, picking at their food with their chopsticks, taking a sip of wine and a bite of food.

But someone started it, and the pace quickened. Like a stone thrown into a still pond, it stirred up a huge wave. Everyone immediately started scrambling for the food, each one like a starving ghost.

A gust of wind swept away the fallen leaves, and the plates on the table were all empty, even the sauce was wiped clean by Erxi mixing it with rice.

Poor Miss Peng, who pretended to be refined, barely managed to eat a dozen or so grains of rice in her bowl.

After this meal, Miss Peng finally realized a truth: delicious food and a perfect man are both based on the same principle—first come, first served.

After a satisfying meal, it was time to pay the bill. Gu Feng stood up and said, "Brothers, please sit down first. I'm going to use the restroom, I'll be right back."

Those men, who were lounging in their chairs with satisfied smiles, patting their round bellies, froze upon hearing this, realizing something was wrong—this kid was probably about to use his most common trick: urinating to avoid the problem.

Before anyone could react, Gu Feng had already disappeared through the doorway.

Cen Jingpeng's mouth moved, but when he met Li Xiaolan's sharp gaze, he swallowed back the words, "I'm going to use the restroom too."

The group of boys sat there awkwardly, none daring to utter a sound or make a move. Under the table, however, their toes were nudging each other, their heels stomping on each other, a silent message: who's going to pay for this meal?

The answer was unanimously blank—no one could afford the money.

Even a hero can be brought down by a mere penny, let alone a meal that would cost at least seven or eight hundred. The group emptied their pockets of all their loose change, but what they had left was less than two hundred yuan. What were they to do?

Seeing their disheveled and uncomfortable state, Peng Liangpei secretly chuckled to herself.

Male students in college are even worse off than those who live paycheck to paycheck.

Other people can at least hold out until the end of the month, but these people will run out of food when the month is in the middle of the sky.

Instead of asking them to pay the bill now, it would be better to just kill them.

Peng Jingpei was overjoyed to see the awkward state of the young men. "Serves you right for being freeloaders! Now you're trembling, aren't you? Is my food really that delicious?"

Once she had calmed down enough, Miss Peng leisurely beckoned to the waiter.

When the senior brothers saw Mu Meiren pull out her wallet and show off the bright red bills, they breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. After all, grown men don't have the habit of relying on women for their livelihood.

"Hello, miss, your table's bill has already been paid," the waiter replied politely.

"You bought it? When?" Peng Liangpei was taken aback.

"Just now." The waiter smiled and left.

It must have been Gu Feng, who made an excuse to pee, who secretly paid the bill.

The same thought flashed through the minds of several senior brothers, who felt both ashamed and amused.

I'm ashamed to admit that I judged you by my own petty standards, and it's laughable that you had to be so secretive about paying the bill. Did you think we'd steal it from you?

A short while later, Gu Feng returned, a look of relief on his face. He smiled apologetically at his senior brothers and said, "Everyone has to go to the bathroom sometimes, please don't mind."

Several senior students also laughed awkwardly.

"Have you all finished eating, fellow senior brothers?" Gu Feng asked considerately.

"We're done eating." The group said in unison, even packing up the leftover beer.

"Alright. Waiter—" Gu Feng waved his hand, took out the gold card Su Man'er had given him, and handed it over with a rather smug air. "Check, please."

Credit card payments were something he only learned in modern times. Back in the Liao Dynasty, he always bought on credit, and of course, he rarely had the money to pay back his debts.

"Junior brother, are you playing around?" Li Xiaolan asked with a wry smile.

The other senior students were also at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Dan Mingming had already bought it, yet he was still pretending to be something he wasn't, was he deliberately trying to make a fool of them?

Peng Jingpei was also very annoyed. They had clearly agreed that she would treat everyone to the meal, but this guy paid the bill first, obviously not respecting her.

"Playing games?" Gu Feng rubbed the bridge of his nose. After the waiter repeated, "The bill has already been paid," he finally understood, but was even more confused. "Who paid the bill?"

The senior students exchanged glances, then simultaneously and in perfect unison, raised their middle fingers at Gu Feng. A globally recognized gesture, rigorously certified by the ISO4000 international disdain system—environmentally friendly and green.

"Junior brother, it's better to be more kind and honest," Cen Jingpeng said sarcastically.

"Exactly. They paid for it themselves, but they still tried to trick us. What kind of joke is this?" Yang Xiaochen chimed in.

Erxi's lips moved twice, but in the end she didn't say anything. She just sighed and put her chubby hand on Gu Feng's shoulder.

Gu Feng was truly wronged, looking like a wronged wife: "I really didn't pay the bill."

Seeing that his expression didn't seem fake, the crowd couldn't help but become suspicious. Li Xiaolan asked again, "Really didn't buy anything?"

"I really didn't buy it." Gu Feng shook his head vigorously.

"Who bought it?" the group asked in unison.

"Me." A clear and loud voice responded, followed by a string of silvery laughter.

At the entrance, a stunningly beautiful woman with graceful figure and alluring charm had appeared at some unknown time.
