Chapter 324 (2/2)

After buying everything, Yue Kai smiled and said, “Alright, let’s go. I just called and booked a box at Riverwood Restaurant. Let’s drink fine wine there this noon. That reminds me, I don’t know whether those two dorm mates of ours arrived, but if they do it will be livelier.”

“If they have arrived and want to get along well later, I believe they will catch up with us after reading the note you left behind,” said Tang Xiu.

11 AM.

The Riverwood Restaurant was particularly hot as its first floor was almost jam-packed. When the trio arrived there, they found that there were many people still entering.

Zhao Liang sighed, “This is an upscale restaurant and should be rather expensive, right?”

“Yup. Even though I have some money, I’m afraid I can only have a round of sumptuous meal here every few weeks. Although this restaurant can’t compare with Yueyang Edifice, Taihe Restaurant and Everlasting Feast Hall, of which are true upscale restaurants, but at least it can be ranked as an upper class one,” said Yue Kai.

“Shanghai also has an Everlasting Feast Hall?” asked Zhao Liang, astounded.

“What do you mean by ‘also’? Does your Jingmen Island also have a Everlasting Feast Hall there?” asked Yue Kai back, surprised.

“It does, and it has a rather high threshold also. I used to go there with my old man. It’s a pity my old man is not a VIP there, though. Otherwise, he could have enjoyed a kingly treatment,” said Zhao Liang.

Laughing involuntarily, Yue Kai then said, “I’ve also been to Shanghai’s Everlasting Feast Hall a couple of times and the place is indeed great, though it’s a pity that it’s a bit far from here. If it were not due to the consideration of our other classmates’ arrival, we could have gone there.”

Everlasting Feast Hall?

The corner of Tang Xiu’s mouth curved as a slight smile was painted on his handsome face. He didn’t expect that he would hear this name from his fellow students’ mouths when he just arrived in Shanghai. He did have the intention to visit and have a look at Shanghai’s Everlasting Feast Hall.

Ten minutes later, the trio had taken a seat in the box. The food and wine had also been served. At that time, Yue Kai’s mobile rang.

“Yue Kai here.”

“Hi, it’s Hu Qingsong here. I live in the Shanghai University’s male student dormitory #428. I saw the note you left here,” a voice with thick Northeasterner accent was heard from the phone.

Yue Kai’s brows raised as he said with a smile, “We’re in Riverwood Restaurant. After you leave the campus, call a taxi and you’ll be able to get here after a short while.”

“Wait for me there!”

The phone was hung up.

After putting away his mobile, Yue Kai then said with a smile, “Our dorm mate—Hu Qingsong has arrived. He said that he will catch up with us here. Judging from his accent, he seems to be a Northeasterner. Alright, open the wine first. In celebration of our encounter out of millions of people and becoming buddies, let’s start by drying our first cup!”

Zhao Liang raised his glass and laughed, “Though you and I are not in the same dormitory, our dorms are only separated by a corridor in the opposite entrance. So we’re brothers in the trenches as well. Yue Kai is treating us this time, so I won’t snatch this honor from him. When our dorm buddies finally arrive this evening, in addition to your dorm mates, both of our dorm buddies should gather together and I’ll treat you to a party.”

“Cheers!” Exclaimed Yue Kai with a smile.

Tang Xiu didn’t say anything. He just raised his glass, toasted and gulped it down.

“Is the wine good? It’s just that I stole my old man’s fine wine when I came over and hid it in the trunk. You two are you lucky to have a chance to taste such a good thing!”

“Wait for a while. I’ll give you two bottles of wine better than this,” laughed Tang Xiu.

Staring blankly for a moment, Yue Kai immediately smiled. He thought that Tang Xiu was not a scion of a rich family since he was so economical in the shopping mall before. Hence, he treated Tang Xiu’s words as a saving-face act only and didn’t put it in his heart.

Half an hour later, when all the dishes were nearly up, Yue Kai looked at the time and appeared puzzled as he said, “How come Hu Qingsong didn’t arrive yet? Even if he came by foot, he should’ve arrived by now.”

“Knock, knock…”

As he finished speaking, the box’s door was knocked and quickly, a dark-skinned, strong and muscular young man opened the door as he looked at the trio inside the box and grinned, “Yo, I’m Hu Qingsong. Did I come late?”

Yue Kai and Zhao Liang got up, wearing weird expressions in their eyes, whereas Tang Xiu was frowning with a puzzled light in his eyes, because there was a green-purple bump on Hu Qingsong’s face. Even his clothes were dirty with footprints on it. Obviously, the fellow had just fought with some people.

“I’m Yue Kai. Hey dude, who were the people you just played with?” asked Yue Kai as he waved and pointed at Hu Qingsong’s face.

“It’s nothing,” chuckled Hu Qingsong as he said, “I just encountered a small trouble on the way here. It’s been solved, though.”

Zhao Liang put out his hand and said with a smile, “I’m Zhao Liang, from Jingmen Island. I live in the dorm on the opposite side and am classmate of yours.”

“Tang Xiu, from Star City,” said Tang Xiu with a smile.
