After David left the house, he didn't know where to go. He knew the direction to Shengde Road. The key was whether to take a bus or a taxi. He was a little worried. If he wanted to get to the restaurant as soon as possible, he had to take a taxi. However, the taxi was expensive. David was a little reluctant to pay out of his own pocket.
He wanted to let Butchie pay for it, since she had already said that she would pay for the fare. However, David felt that he should take care of the man's face and not show the image of a freeloader in Butchie's eyes. Even if she did not say anything, it was hard to guarantee that she would not be secretly complaining.
What if she accidentally spilled the beans when she was chatting with her classmates, and the image of a sunny boy that David had painstakingly built up would be ruined? He would become a wretched little man, not isolated by everyone, but drowned in saliva. He would live for money? In fact, people valued fame more, so David had to think so.
After thinking about it, several taxis and buses had already passed by. He took out his phone again and looked at the time. It was five minutes to twelve. It was almost the best time for lunch. He could not hesitate anymore, otherwise! If he provoked Butchie's temper, he would be in big trouble.
David didn't care about Butchie at first. Even if her family was rich, it had nothing to do with him. There was no need for him to lower himself in front of her. Her appearance and figure were so unattractive.
However, ever since he took advantage of Butchie last time and ate at a dinner party with her, David had been filled with guilt. He kept feeling that he owed Butchie a debt. Was it emotional or financial? David felt that it was hard to explain. It seemed that there were both factors.
Since there was such a debt due to the higher-ups, David could only be more tolerant of Butchie's matters. As long as she was happy, he was willing to follow her orders.
Of course, David didn't hate Butchie's behavior. She would just invite him to a meal and then discuss the physical and emotional aspects of men and women. As for feelings, David could hide his annoyance in his heart. Butchie wasn't from the Military Command Bureau anyway, and she didn't have any high-tech technology that could read people's minds. Even if he hated her in his heart, as long as he put on a good show with her words and deeds, it wouldn't affect their relationship.
David decided to take a taxi. Time was of the essence, mainly because his stomach was already growling. If he didn't come out at noon, he would have already picked up his chopsticks and eaten a few pieces of meat. Every time before dinner at home, he would go to the kitchen first, find his grandmother, and pick up his chopsticks to eat two mouthfuls without hesitation. It was an appetizer before dinner.
However, David didn't dare to eat first when his father was present. His father was a traditional man who respected the elderly first. There were many rules and regulations that often gave David a headache. He had no choice but to scold his father in his heart for being old-fashioned.
Of course, some of his father's views were quite right, and they were basically the same as his instinctive views that he had read in books. However, some of his ideas made David feel ridiculous. He was already a civilized person in the 21st century, yet he still despised the status of women.
He waved at a taxi coming from the left side of the road. The driver immediately slowed down and slowly stopped in front of him. He was a young man with average looks. Perhaps he thought that David was handsome and gentle and felt that he was not a match for him. Therefore, he did not dare to look directly into David's eyes. He only glanced at him and quickly turned to the ground to ask him where he was going.
When David said that they were going to Maria's Restaurant in Wenzhou, the driver's body couldn't help but tremble. It wasn't that he didn't know the location of the restaurant. Everyone in A City knew about such a famous western restaurant.
The young driver was already impressed by David's handsome appearance, but when he heard that he was going to a western restaurant for dinner, he was shocked again. He did not know that such a handsome young man in front of him was actually a rich man!
Therefore, he did not have any self-confidence or arrogance. He could only lament that his life was bitter. Now, other than feeling inferior, he was useless. There was actually such a big gap between men. Could it be that the world could not go against him? You were reincarnated into the wrong body in this life and became a man. You should have been reincarnated into a woman. Perhaps you could even flirt with her and contact her to make her handsome? Make you rich? I just have to touch the tall, rich, and handsome tiger's buttocks. Let's see if the girls are better? Or was a man better?
David didn't care about the driver's abnormality. He opened the back door, bent down, and got into the car. As if he was playing basketball, he broke through the blockade of several people's arms and successfully made a layup. Everyone applauded.
The driver lost his usual liveliness and kept looking at David in embarrassment, lest it hurt his self-esteem. He had just been married for a few years and wanted to maintain his strong male dignity in front of his wife. However, David had given him a heavy blow today, making him unable to face his male image.
David was not an introverted boy. He even wanted to have a hot chat with the driver to break the depressing atmosphere in the car. However, he was observant and saw that the driver's face was rather gloomy. There was even a hint of anger between his eyebrows. Perhaps he had something troubling him just now and had not let it go yet. If he joined in the fun now, he might cause the driver trouble and vent his displeasure on him.
When the car arrived in front of the restaurant, David saw Butchie standing beside him and looking around anxiously. He quickly asked the driver how much it cost.
The driver glanced at him and pouted at the meter without making a sound. David did not think too much about it and focused on it. It showed 20 yuan, which was not too expensive and he could afford it.
He quickly rummaged through his pockets and took out a handful of loose change. He found 20 yuan in the middle and handed it to the driver, thanking him at the same time.
The driver replied," You're welcome!" You're welcome to ride in my car next time.
However, he was screaming in his heart," Please don't get in my car. Not only is the handsome boy pretty, but he also feels like a good person. I really can't compare myself to him. I'm afraid that when I see you in the future, it will still deeply hurt my self-esteem."
David got out of the car and closed the door. The driver drove away quickly, afraid that he would lose all his pride by staying with David for a while longer.
Butchie saw David and quickly waved at him. She wanted to hold his hand, but she was worried that David would not give her face. If she fell, she would lose face in front of everyone.
In reality, who would notice anyone when there were people walking on the street? It was Butchie's own thoughts. Besides, it was difficult to attract the attention of others based on her appearance, unless she was an acquaintance. Strangers probably would not give her a glance. Even if they did, they would not be able to leave any traces of interest or memory.
Humans were emotional creatures. They always liked things that interested them. They were willing to pay attention to beautiful people or exciting words and deeds.
David smiled at her cautiously. Butchie asked him with a smile,"What took you so long?"
David felt that this was a good reason to ask. Butchie must have been waiting anxiously. Girls were impatient and liked to have their wishes come true. Perhaps Butchie had ordered a meal and was just waiting for him to come over?
He was only concerned about his belly now. He was not interested in any other topic. For the sake of his face, he did not dare to start the conversation about food and drink first. He could only follow the girl's feelings.
Normally, Butchie would be hungry at 12 noon. Girls loved to eat, and they liked to shout for food before it was time to eat. However, Butchie did not feel hungry today. She only had David in her heart. It was deeper. She only had David's fair skin, strong body, and his inexhaustible appearance.
David replied,"I have something to do at home. I received your call and immediately took a taxi over. I hope I didn't delay you!"
Butchie quickly replied, No, no! I'm just afraid that I'll affect you. She was speaking the truth. When she needed this man the most, she was most afraid of provoking David and making him run away instantly. Even if she did not have to miss him in the future, the longing in front of her could not be resolved.
In fact, David wanted to say that in order to come to see you as soon as possible, he didn't take the bus and took a taxi instead. It would cost him more money. This amount of money wasn't worth spending, which showed how much he valued you.
However, he was too embarrassed to say it out loud. He was afraid that Butchie would think that he was worried about money and deliberately find an excuse to reimburse her for the fare!
Before David could continue to let his imagination run wild, Butchie had already called him into the restaurant. When the two of them walked into the restaurant, David was still thinking about something. Butchie had clearly said that she would pay for the bus fare over the phone, but she didn't have any reaction when they met. She could even afford a high-class meal, so she couldn't possibly be reluctant to spend a few bucks, right? He must have forgotten. Forget it! Since I'm treating you to a meal, just treat it as my money. I can't say that I'm eating and drinking for free.
Butchie led David to a small table by the window in the innermost part of the room. She pointed at the seat and called out to him," David, take a seat."
However, the little girl felt a little regretful after saying that. She felt that she should respect David's opinion. After all, he was the man she loved the most. She could not let him have the concept of a lapdog. The key was that David was aloof and noble. Unlike ordinary boys, who would go soft in the knees when they saw a girl who was slightly powerful. They could only feel at ease by bowing down to the girl's dress.
Hence, she winked at David and asked," Which seat do you think you should sit on?" In his heart, he was saying that it was best for him to sit at the back of the hall so that the beauty wouldn't come in and take a fancy to him.
David had no idea what Butchie was thinking. He only had one thought at the moment, and that was to seize the moment to eat a good meal. What a big appetite! Fortunately, he didn't eat too nutritious breakfast. It was difficult to stuff much into this delicious lunch.
As the saying goes, you can't eat tofu when you have meat. Only a fool would be so close to his belt when he encountered such a delicious meal!
There was a small square dining table facing a window full of flowers. There were four pots of roses on the windowsill. If they were a little closer, they could smell the fragrance of the flowers. It was the best environment for eating.
One side of the square table faced the wall, and there were three chairs on the other three sides. David naturally felt that the two of them could sit against the wall separately, face each other to show their politeness, and even talk during the meal. What else could they talk about? They were merely commenting on the dishes.
So, he thought that Butchie was just being polite and asked him to sit on a seat against the wall first, so he didn't refuse and sat on the seat on the left. In order to avoid the awkwardness of sitting down, he deliberately turned his head to look at the flowers on the window and called Butchie as he looked. Look, these flowers are very fragrant.
Butchie glared at him, but she still maintained her smile and continued his topic. The flowers were fragrant, but the people were even more fragrant!
David was stunned. Who are you muttering to? Hence, he turned around and asked Butchie with a smile," I found you very beautiful today!" Was it similar to this flower?
Butchie's face was a little red. She thought that David was joking with her. He was eating her food, but he was teasing her. However, he complimented him. You're the handsome one!
Butchie sat down across from David after she finished speaking. She was immediately excited. She would be able to eat roasted meat soon. In fact, she was just as greedy as David. If it weren't for the fact that she had to bend down to look for boys when she was in the heat of the moment, she would have enjoyed the delicious food alone. How could she have the patience to coax David to show his favor?
She had already spoken to the most handsome man in No. 5 High School, so she was no longer afraid of the awkwardness between the two of them. Now, she had endless topics to talk about to pique David's interest. Of course, she had to go around the food.
Butchie asked David if he was hungry, and David answered truthfully," I've been hungry for a long time. If I hadn't waited for you, I would have eaten at home."
Butchie wanted to say,'Can you eat the food at home?' Looking at David's solemn face, she did not want to hurt his self-esteem. She quickly comforted him with her words. I'll order the dishes immediately. The barbecue will be ready anytime. We'll be able to eat it soon.
With that, she called for the waiter. A short male waiter ran over and was about to say hello when Butchie interrupted his etiquette and asked him to serve a portion of roasted yak meat first. The other dishes could wait until he finished reading the menu.
The short waiter readily agreed and turned around to jog to the bar counter. People with shorter bodies had less resistance when walking or running, so they could instantly accelerate.
