At the age of thirteen, Gu Nianzhi had flown to Scotland on a holiday with Huo Shaoheng While there, she had had fish and chips at the famous Caroline Tavern, the very best in town

She had fallen in love with it, and never forgotten the taste She had even gone so far as to learn tofrom Scotland, but Chen Lie had eventually ireasy, too unhealthy, and …

The look in Mei Xiawen’s eyes had grown even more sy more than fast food, the kind served at McDonald’s and KFC It was not worthy of being served at a proper restaurant Anyone withwould never choose to eat soet fried onion and calaently squeezed Gu Nianzhi’s hand as he said to the young waitress standing at the door, “I’ll have two s, please”

Gu Nianzhi did not like either onions or calamari

But before she could object, the waitress had already served them She could not very well raise a fuss now, so she politely took a few bites It was easy enough for her to pretend to like them

Everyone else at the table devoured their food happily Gu Nianzhiat everyone over the cup

After they were done with the appetizer, it was now tiht, which meant that the food was served on individual plates, Western-style

Everyone had their own plate of food; it was not necessary for anyone to get up and serve fro platter

Mei Xiawen had ordered two dishes for Gu Nianzhi: Veal Milanese, seasoned with onions and bay leaf, and grilled cod in tomato sauce

Gu Nianzhi surreptitiously quarantined the onions to one side, then cut a small piece of the beef to taste

“Nianzhi, a toast to your admission to B University Law School!” Mei Xiaas all slass of Moscato d’Asti – a shite wine from Italy – in Gu Nianzhi’s direction

“What? Lil Sis, you got your admission letter?! When?!” said Little Telass in front of her

The alcohol content for the Moscato d’Asti was only 55; it wasas an alcoholic beverage Mei Xiawen had chosen this because he was going to be driving later

“Just this ht after the interview It’s just an eet the official letter in three days,” said Gu Nianzhi happily as she, too, held up her glass

She was over the ht now

It was one of her dearest wishes to study under Professor He Zhichu at B University Law School

“Well done!” Green Tea Fang had also raised her glass; she sracefully as she said, “When you missed the interview because you were sick, I al Yixi froot herself into trouble Otherwise I would have to graduate knowing that Feng Yixi had been admitted to B University Law School – that would be such a distasteful stain on e memories”

Gu Nianzhi had been worried that her roo her interview a secret

But her roohed as they congratulated her

She had worried herself silly over nothing
