Chapter 656 - The Narcissistic Boss (2/2)

“I overheard her ordering the Topscore Rice Noodles. It was quite expensive, priced at 58 RMB per set. Then, my colleague and I ordered the same thing as well,” the young man maintained his nonchalant expression, yet still seriously continued his story.

“Ok. So next, you asked for her number?” Ma Zhida asked, as if it was completely natural for this to come next.

“Not really. The same thing happened to her. When she was paying, she found that she forgot to bring her money. Since I was behind her in the line, I borrowed her some money,” the young man said.

This time, Ma Zhida did not interrupt. He merely listened on seriously.

“After paying for the meal, she felt rather embarrassed and decided to sit at the same table with us. While eating, we talked,” the young man continued his story.

“She asked me why would I borrow my money to a stranger. That was when I remembered you. So I started telling her about you,” the young man said while looking at Ma Zhida.

During that incident, with her face blushing, the girl asked shyly, “Why had you borrowed me your money? You don’t even know me.”

“Because the last time I forgot my money, it was also a stranger that had borrowed me money,” the young man gently answered after swallowing the rice noodles in his mouth.

“Have you figured out who that person is?” the girl asked instinctively.

“Nope. I didn’t ask for his name, so I don’t even know his name,” the young man answered while shaking his head. Even his colleague beside him was curiously looking at him.

After all, his colleague thought the same as Ma Zhida. He believed that the young man must have been trying to take this opportunity to pick up girls.

The girl had a curious look on her face. However, she reigned her in curiosity and did not ask anything. Therefore, the young man continued speaking.

“But I do know where that was. That was Yuan Zhou’s restaurant, a restaurant with an extremely narcissistic boss,” the young man couldn’t resist and made this remark when he recalled the gorgeous Han attire Yuan Zhou wore.

After saying that, the young man stopped speaking.

“Hey, hold on. Why is Boss Yuan narcissistic?” Ma Zhida couldn’t help himself and asked.

“Of course he is. Look at how unconventionally he always dresses himself. The whole time, he thinks he’s the most handsome man in the universe,” the young man earnestly explained.

“You seems to be on to something here,” Ma Zhida nodded approvingly as he looked at the neat and delicate lotus marks on Yuan Zhou’s attire.

“Wait a second, why are you focusing on that?” the young man asked.

“What should I be focusing on?” Ma Zhida asked in confusion.

“The focus is I only remembered you after meeting the girl that had also forgotten her money,” the young man reminded.

“True, I do need to thank that girl,” Ma Zhida said seriously.

“Nah, I’m only joking. I have always remembered the money I owed you. I just never got the chance to pay you back,” the young man grinned widely and said after looking at Ma Zhida’s serious expression.

“Fine. But I have to make one thing clear. I borrowed money to you because I am a kind person. The same cannot be said for you,” Ma Zhida made his counter-attack.

“You think too much. I don’t even have her number. I only told her to pay me back if we have the chance to meet again in the future,” the young man immediately explained as he knew that Ma Zhida was trying to say that he had a hidden motive in helping the girl.

“We’ll never know if that’s true,” Ma Zhida replied with a cheeky smile, clearly not buying the young man’s explanation.

Just like that, the two joked with each other while eating the fried rice that had just arrived. The whole scene looked incredibly harmonious, even though the two did not even know each other’s name.

Borrowing money to a stranger was a tiny incident for Ma Zhida, something he would not put in mind. As for the young man, due to him once experiencing the kindness of others, he did the same when he encountered someone in the same situation.

The scene was so harmonious even Yuan Zhou, who had initially wanted to make a rebuttal after they called him narcissistic, smiled unknowingly.

‘Sure enough, all sorts of people exist,’ Yuan Zhou muttered inwardly. As for the “most handsome man in the universe” part of their conversation, he directly neglected it.
