Copy of Resentment

, “I’m not a little girl, and my hands are not that tender.”

“Okay.” Bian Shengjian frowned and nodded slightly to the class monitor behind him.”To thank you all, I’ll treat everyone to a meal tonight.
Treat it as payment for your hard work.”

“Really?” Zhou Li raised his head abruptly and touched his nose a little embarrassedly.
“This is not very good, we have so many people, you might spend a lot of money on us.”

“Not at all.” Bian Shengjian sighed, “I use RMB to wipe my butt when I go to the toilet, so I don’t lack money for a meal.”

“Damn.” Zhou Li laughed so hard that he almost choked, “Okay! I’ll go and talk to a few of them, where are we going to eat tonight?”

“Go to…” Bian Shengjian paused for a moment.
Before, even if he had to close his eyes, he could name all the delicious and fun things in the streets near his home, but can’t now, since he’s still a newcomer and unfamiliar with the place.
When it comes to choosing a restaurant, even if he himself had only gone out for one meal, he had absolutely no idea where to take this large group of people at all.
“Why don’t you choose, I don’t know any good places.”

“Okay, when I was working part-time, I found a good hotpot restaurant on North-South Lane,” Zhou said and snapped his fingers.
“Their beef louver is really good! And their celestial coriander beef is also amazing! “

“What celestial…….just go there.” Bian Shengjian nodded in consternation.
“Anyhow, I’m not familiar with it.”

“Brother will take you tonight! Let you feel the atmosphere of our small city!” Zhou Li smiled and hugged his shoulder, which happened to pull Bian Shengjian’s sore arm.
He had to grit his teeth and said in a low voice, “…Zhou Li! You’re looking for death!”

Standing not far away, Lu Shen folded his arms and watched and couldn’t help laughing out loud.
After laughing, he suddenly became emotional.
He turned his back to Bian Shengjian and quickly wiped his eyes with his hands.

Bian Shengjian didn’t know that hot pot restaurants can still be opened in such corners.

Lao Dao Hotpot Restaurant.
Well, the name sounds quite domineering.
But isn’t this shop a bit small, and the decoration was also so down to earth.
Wait, the floor isn’t also tiled?

 Bian Shengjian was immediately overwhelmed by the spicy hot pot fragrant as soon as he entered, but when he saw the environment in the store, he subconsciously disliked it.
“This place…”

“Boss lady! Is there any private room?” Zhou Li suddenly shouted at the store.

“Yes! How many people!” The proprietress shouted back.

“A dozen!” Zhou Li waved his hand aggressively.

Bian Shengjian, who was about to speak, was surprised by the loud exchange that just happened in front of him.
After digging out his ears, he inexplicably followed a group of people into a small private room.
The waiter had to bring a few chairs from outside because there weren’t enough.
As the number of people entering increased, he felt that it was crowded.
When everyone around sat down, he felt like they were sitting on a meat paste, forcibly expanding the narrowed space.

“Or, we might as well change to a bigger place?” Bian Shengjian squeezed a little harder, feeling that even the air was thinning.

“This is already the largest private room,” the waiter said amid a crowd of noisy people.

“Order!” Zhou Li waved again.

Bian Shengjian used to go out to eat hotpot with three other people, and he had never tried to squeeze inside a large group of crowd.
The scene was chaotic like a vegetable market.
He let Zhou Li decide on what to order and as for the taste of the dishes… Bian Shengjian silently glanced at this large group of people and sincerely felt that as long as they were full, everything else was unimportant. 

“Brother, do you want to drink?” Zhou Li flicked the menu and raised his chin, “How about your drinking tolerance?”

“Better than you.” Bian Shengjian said.

“Okay!” Zhou Li excitedly called the waiter.
“Two dozen ‘Xue Ha’, four bottles of ‘Niu Er’!”

“I invited you for a meal, not to drink to death.” Bian Shengjian rubbed his forehead.

“Don’t worry, these people can hold their liquor very well.” Zhou Li pointed at the boys sitting next to him with a smile, and the topic changed again.
“But you girls should not drink.
No one would dare to carry you back once you’re all drunk.”

“It’s alright, we’ll just drink juice.” A girl named Huihui shook the cup in her hand and smiled at Bian Shengjian.
“Thank you, Young Master Bian, for inviting us to dinner.”

“No, you…” Bian Shengjian felt helpless, “You don’t need to call me that, just call me Xiao Jian.”

“Doesn’t that sound like an insurance seller?” Zhou Li burst out laughing.

“Xiao Jian?” At this moment, when Bian Shengjian heard someone talking to his ear, his scalp exploded.
“Shouldn’t you be called Third Brother? Hmm?” 

“Go away.” Bian Shengjian roared threateningly in a low voice, “I’ll beat you if you dare come here.”

“…sorry, but it’s already crowded.” Lu Shen said helplessly.

“It’s here!” Someone shouted in the crowd, and before Bian Shengjian could turn around, the few dishes that had just been brought to the table were dumped into the pot, and a bunch of chopsticks had already gathered around the pot.
Counting down the seconds for it to be ready to eat.

“Eat, eat, treat yourselves tonight!” Zhou Li roared, and then put his chopsticks into the pot.

Bian Shengjian could only stand up and join in the battle.
In his more than ten years of life, he had never eaten around such a lively hotpot.
Even the grabbing of a piece of meat depends on your skill.
After finishing the first round, the speed of wolfing down the food and snatching meat had been greatly accelerated.
Just following the rhythm of pouring the meat into the pot one after another and then rushing up to grab it, he was already leaning on his seat for a short while.

“Fuck…” Bian Shengjian reached out and touched his stomach.

The taste of the hotpot in this shop was really good.
Although the ingredients were not top-notch, they tasted fresh.

“Brother Jian, here’s a toast to you!” Zhou Li stood up with a bright face and raised his cup at him.
He drank it in one go and said, “Done!”

Bian Shengjian didn’t speak, just raised his cup and took a sip.
“Thank you.”

“Shall we take a photo? Something to remember.” The girl named Huihui suddenly stood up and looked at Bian Shengjian carefully, “Is it alright?”

“Sure.” Bian Shengjian hesitated for a while and nodded, although he didn’t know what to commemorate.
But looking at the mess around him, he couldn’t get a decent photoshoot mood.
“How about we change to another place?”

“Don’t worry! It’s fine here.” Zhou Li yelled and called the waiter in again, turning his head to look at Bian Shengjian.
“Brother Jian, can we use your mobile phone to take pictures? Here, your mobile phone is the most expensive, so the quality must be much better.”

“Okay.” Shengjian handed over his phone.

“Look at the camera! Come on.
1! 2! 3!” The waiter aimed the camera at the group of people.

“Cheese!” Zhou Li yelled.
Everyone immediately moved in response to the sound and squeezed into a ball.
Bian Shengjian instantly felt that he was squeezed flat.
He could only helplessly tilt his head to the side which also happened to meet Lu Shen’s smiling eyes and his two shiny little tiger teeth.

“Are you happy tonight?” Lu Shen bent his eyes at him.

“I’m happy.” Bian Shengjian sighed.

“Look at the camera.” Lu Shen suddenly grabbed his shoulder, and the hot temperature of his palm seemed to penetrate through Shengjian’s clothes and onto his skin.
He felt helpless and could only glare at Lu Shen before giving up.

“Young Master Bian will pay the bill tonight!” Zhou Li shouted with joy.

“Shut up!” Bian Shengjian gritted his teeth and shouted, but the moment the shutter was pressed, a smile appeared on his face, looking very wanton.

Lu Shen glanced at Shengjian from the corner of his eye, the strength in his hand tightened slightly, and he also showed a bright smile.
