The rich guy was too inexperienced, so the school beauty's group of girlfriends had no choice b

As the two left their room and headed to the restaurant, Sheng Yingran appeared to be enjoying her cruise trip with a relaxed demeanor, swaying a jade pendant at her waist, humming a little tune, and taking cheerful steps.

Su Jing remained silent the entire time, keeping her head down and playing on her phone.

This little kid is a bit aloof!

There's no aloofness involved; it's just that some people are socially awkward and not good at socializing, so they use playing on their phones as a cover.

However, Su Jing noticed that the tourists around them were all looking at them.

Walking alongside such ethereal Hanfu-clad ladies, it's hard not to attract attention.

"Auntie, are you taking pictures? I'll take them for you and grandpa. You're welcome, it's no trouble at all."

"Brother, your daughter is so cute!"

"Little friend, you can't litter."

Su Jing was stunned.

How did she manage to greet a stranger?

Is that company awesome?

A socially awkward person, a socially successful person, a naive young tycoon, and a succubus—people from two different worlds coming together, what a stroke of luck!

Arriving at the free buffet restaurant, all three meals a day are included in the cruise ticket.

It was lunchtime, and the place was crowded; all the tables were occupied.

"Little girl, there's a seat here."

Over there, the middle-aged woman who had just taken the photos greeted them warmly.

"Come on, let's sit over there." Sheng Yingran called to Su Jing and went over there.

Su Jing looked over, then pulled back the leg he had just taken.

There weren't just elderly men and women over there, but eight of them, like a sunset tour group.

As someone with social anxiety, Su Jing tries to find a separate empty table when she goes to a restaurant because she doesn't like sitting with strangers to eat. Why would she arrange a table for elderly people?

Forget it, forget it~ I won't be able to digest my food if I sit down to eat in that spot.

Su Jing noticed a glass sliding door on the right side of the restaurant, leading to a beautiful and quiet restaurant with very few people inside. This was the most comfortable dining environment for people, so she went up to it, only to be stopped by a smiling waiter at the door.

"Sir, this is a French seafood buffet restaurant, 1200 per person, all fresh imported live seafood. How many people are in your party?"

Cruise ships not only have free restaurants, but also paid restaurants.

Su Jing saw that the fish tank contained king crab, Australian lobster, sea urchin, and other high-end seafood that he had never eaten before.

Outside buffets also have seafood stalls, but they're all pre-prepared, so they're not as fresh or upscale as these freshly slaughtered seafood stalls.

A 10x cashback card—of course I can't let myself suffer.

"One person..." Su Jing thought of Sheng Yingran. They always ate together. It was a bit disloyal of him to leave her behind and go eat something expensive. Anyway, with the tenfold cashback, it wouldn't hurt to have one more person.

"Two of you, one of each, will be processed. I'll go get my friend."

Su Jing paid 2400 yuan, turned around to look at the lively sunset group, took a deep breath, and mustered up her courage to walk to Sheng Yingran's side.

"Su Jing, Auntie and the others are so funny, hehehe~" Sheng Yingran had obviously become one of them.

She Niu is great; it's popular everywhere.

"Um... well... I found an empty seat, so let's not bother the elderly folks and go eat over there."

"Okay, grandpa and grandma, please have a seat. We'll play together later. Bye-bye~"

After greeting everyone, Sheng Yingran followed Su Jing through the bustling free lounge and into the quiet French restaurant where they took their seats.

The huge floor-to-ceiling windows offer a beautiful view of the lake.

Before the food was served, Su Jing picked up her camera to take pictures of the sunset.

Sheng Yingran looked around and asked curiously, "Why is there so little person here?"

The waiter began serving the food, saying, "Since this is a paid restaurant, please enjoy your meal, ma'am."

"How much?"

The waiter smiled and said, "1200 per person."

"How much?" Sheng Yingran looked at Su Jing, who was taking pictures of the scenery outside the window, in alarm. "Su Jing, 1200 per person? Is it the same as ordering takeout and getting a free buffet?"

At 1200 per person, it's definitely expensive, no matter what restaurant you're in, especially considering this cruise ship includes three meals a day.

Sheng Yingran's reaction surprised Su Jing. She originally thought that a young lady like her would like to dine in a French restaurant with a beautiful environment, but unexpectedly felt that it was not worth it for Su Jing.

Su Jing was too embarrassed to say, "I don't want to eat with older folks, I'm socially awkward."

So he said, "The scenery here is beautiful; we can take pictures."

what?

Sheng Yingran was taken aback.

He spent 1200 yuan just because the scenery here is nice and he can take pictures?

I'll go~

Is this younger brother so willful?

But since they've already said that, it would seem like I'd be nagging if I added anything more.

"1200 is too expensive. You eat it, I can't afford it. I'll eat out."

Sheng Yingran was very sensible. Although they were in the same industry, 1200 was indeed very expensive, and it wasn't something that could be accepted upon first meeting.

"I've already paid, and now that you've left, they won't give me a refund."

"Okay, I'll split the bill..." Sheng Yingran was about to admit defeat and split the bill, but when she looked at her WeChat account, she only had 1082 yuan.

She only brought this much money back to Shanghai because she won a championship and received a reward of 10,000 yuan, so there was no need to ask her parents for more money.

"Don't just stand there, eat."

Su Jing pushed the food on the table closer to her.

Sheng Yingran planned to give A's money after winning the championship.

Since that's the case, Sheng Yingran didn't dawdle and began to enjoy the delicious food on the table.

Expensive things are worth it; Sheng Yingran found the food she ate to be truly different from what she experienced elsewhere.

drop drop~

At that moment, her best friend Luo Meina sent her a message: 【Baby~ What are you doing?】

Sheng Yingran held up her phone at a 45-degree angle, took a beautiful selfie of herself and the seafood feast on the table, and sent it over.

Luo Meina: [Holy crap, this cruise ship is so extravagant, they're giving away huge king crabs for free?]

Sheng Yingran: [What are you thinking? It's a paid service, 1200 per person.]

Luo Meina: [You struck it rich?]

Sheng Yingran: [I don't have the means to eat here. Su Jing brought me here; he's the boy who took the photos.]

Luo Meina: [I never expected you to have a romantic encounter on a cruise ship.]

Sheng Yingran: [Don't talk nonsense]

Luo Meina: [I'm not talking nonsense. Why would someone treat you to such an expensive meal for no reason? And you still went even though they invited you. This is the first time I've seen you so proactive!]

Sheng Yingran: [Please, I didn't know this was a paid restaurant at first. He said the view was nice and I could take pictures, so I wanted to leave. But the food had already been served and I couldn't get a refund, so I had to eat it. Besides, it wasn't his treat, so we'll split the bill.]

Luo Meina: [Splitting the bill? You don't even have enough money for splitting the bill, so if you're not going to split it, what are you going to contribute? (Smirking)]

Sheng Yingran blushed: [You shameless slut, if you keep making suggestive remarks, I'll tear your mouth apart when I get back!]

drop drop~

The group chat message, "Whoever gets out of being single is a dog," started ringing.

Tong Mengxi: [@Sheng Yingran, I heard I'm having a romantic encounter. Let me see if he's handsome or not?]

Ayina: [@Sheng Yingran, stop pretending to be dead, answer the video call, let us take a look.]

Sheng Yingran was truly exasperated by these three little bitches.

They can call anything pink black.

If I don't let them see it, those three women will drive me crazy when I get back.

Sheng Yingran put on her headphones, connected the video call, and pointed it at Su Jing on the other end.

In the video, three little heads—one a cute loli type, one a girl from the Western Regions type, and one a sexy queen type—are huddled together, their bright, sparkling eyes fixed on Su Jing.

Su Jing was engrossed in enjoying her meal, completely unaware that she was being watched remotely by Sheng Yingran's best friend.

"She's alright looking, just a bit dark-skinned."

"No, he just kept eating and didn't talk to you at all?"

"Does a beautiful woman smell better than delicious food?"

Sheng Yingran whispered, "I've already told you, she's not trying to pick me up, she came here to take pictures. She just graduated high school and just turned eighteen. You all better be innocent and stop talking nonsense."

"It's a little brother!"

"The question is, how did you end up eating together?"

"That's because I said I came to eat, thinking it would be free. But people wanted to take photos at this paid restaurant, and since I was there, they couldn't refuse me, so they treated me. I'll make it up to them."

Sheng Yingran would never say that we "live in the same house," because if she did, her best friend would get upset and start overthinking things.

"This little brother is quite something, spending 1200 yuan on a meal just to take a photo!"

Sheng Yingran also felt that Su Jing should have some ability, but she couldn't be sure, and 2400 was not a lot of money.

At this moment, Su Jing across from him was engrossed in sucking on sea snails, putting them one by one into his mouth. With a slurp, his tongue moved, and with a "slurp," the plump and juicy sea snails were completely emptied.

The sensation on the tongue is amazing; it's practically made for sucking up sea snails.

Over here, Sheng Yingran and her three best friends stared wide-eyed at the scene of Su Jing sucking on a sea snail.

"???" Sheng Yingran watched Su Jing deftly slurping the snails across from her, and thought to herself, "Oh my god!" Her face instantly turned red, and her long legs under the table involuntarily crossed over each other.

In the video, her three best friends stared at Sheng Yingran with puzzled expressions: "Why are you blushing?"

"It's nothing, the air conditioner isn't very effective at cooling."

Sheng Yingran forced herself to remain calm.

【Ding--】

[Win the smiles of four girls]

[Bonus: 8cm can be added arbitrarily]

Su Jing was completely bewildered: ? ? ?

I didn't flirt with the girl at all, I didn't say a word, I just quietly ate snails here, how did I get a smile from her? And four of them?

Su Jing looked around and saw men and women scattered throughout the restaurant. Then she glanced at Sheng Yingran, who was calmly eating across from her.

Four girls, who appeared out of nowhere, were smiling.

Who cares, as long as there's a reward.

He can add eight centimeters at will, but as long as Su Jing is 180cm tall, he will have other uses for him.

Now, without hesitation, I'm adding it to my height.

[Based on the host's height requirement, the height increase will be completed within one month.]

Su Jing is currently 175cm tall, which is neither tall nor short, but with an extra 8cm, she can grow to 183cm in a month.

Beautiful~
