What should he do? Should he directly ask the lady boss for a glass of water? This kind of extra service would more or less increase some expenses. Hua Yi had said that he would treat them, so even if it would only increase some expenses, he should still ask for his opinion.
But she was a little embarrassed. Choking on food was not something a lady would do, right?
As Mai, who had received a strict upbringing, was in a dilemma, she suddenly heard Huayi's voice.
"Please give me two more glasses of juice."
This kind of restaurant naturally wouldn't put a price tag on a glass of water on the menu. Hua Yi ordered fruit juice.
Mai was unsure if he could tell that she was in a difficult situation or if he was just here to order a drink. Just as she was feeling relieved and lucky, she heard Huayi whisper in her ear.
"Have you been starving for a few days? You're in a hurry. Why don't I order another set meal for you?”
That playful tone made Mai feel a little embarrassed.
"No!"
She already knew that Hua Yi was teasing her again, so she didn't explain it clumsily, and Hua Yi was just saying it casually.
Mai felt much better after drinking the fruit juice. She recalled Hua Yi's joke earlier and was certain that he had ordered the fruit juice because he knew that she was choking. His observation and understanding were somewhat similar to hers.
This was a very novel experience for Mai. Although she was once the eldest daughter of ME Club, and many people gathered around her, it was a pity that ordinary high school students were still young girls who did not have much experience in dealing with people. Other than some useless compliments and intimacy that did not know how to judge the situation, Mai did not gain much. All this while, she had been the one who took care of others, and as the one being taken care of by her peers... To be honest, this was the first time.
It felt…heartwarming.
"Are you bringing someone you like out to play? Little brat."
After completing the set meal for Hua Yi and Thunderbolt Mai, the lady boss brought over the fruit juice. For a while, there were no new customers entering the shop, so she had a moment of leisure. At this moment, she stood at the U-shaped table and asked Hua Yi with interest, looking forward to seeing the shy expression of this young boy whose secret had been discovered.
Of course, the Lady Boss had observed her carefully before she said this. She had only asked after she saw the slight restraint in her actions and the care shown by Hua Yi when she ordered the drinks for her. She was sure that the two of them were not relatives but rather close friends or lovers. Otherwise, if she accidentally said something that did not conform to the truth and caused dissatisfaction among the customers, it would be a failure for the Lady Boss.
"Yes, I'm not familiar with the surroundings. Is there any good place to go? It was a place that could make girls happy.”
To the Lady Boss's surprise, not only did Hua Yi not reveal the shyness of an ignorant youth, but he also took the opportunity to ask her. This kind of calm and natural performance made the Lady Boss secretly sigh, but she did not show it and immediately answered.
"Since you've already enjoyed the delicious food in my restaurant, it's time to buy some small gifts for the girls after you've satisfied your appetite. There's an accessory shop about 20 meters down the street, and it's as good and cheap as my restaurant.”
The lady boss did not forget to boast about her recommendation, and she even praised her twice. Hua Yi did not know whether to laugh or cry at her behavior. As for Thunder Mai, she was at a loss as to what to do when she heard the lady boss say the word " someone she likes." She had been silently eating the set meal and drinking her juice, pretending not to hear the conversation between Hua Yi and the lady boss.
After paying the bill, Hua Yi naturally followed the lady boss's recommendation and took Mai to the jewelry store. The girl hesitated for a moment before saying,"
"There's no need to spend so much money on me…"
Mai had always been playing the role of taking care of others, so she was not used to being taken care of by Huayi. To be honest, after losing her identity as the eldest daughter of ME Club, there was actually a boy who was willing to do so much for her. Mai was even a little overwhelmed by the favor.
"It's not expensive at all. It didn't cost much at all. Besides, you were willing to practice swordsmanship with me before and even specially made strawberry big fortune for me. It's not something that can be repaid by treating you to a meal or giving you a small gift. Speaking of accessories, what do you like?”
"I…I don't know.”
Mai was at a loss for words. Even when she was the heiress of ME Club, none of her classmates would specially give her accessories. At most, they would give her food. Not long after, her father had an accident, and even this level of interaction disappeared. Earlier, because of the strict upbringing, Mai had not been able to interact with any girls of her age, let alone boys. As for fatherly love, as the president of ME Club, she was very busy.
"Then let's go and take a good look."
Hua Yi brought the Lightning Yayi into the jewelry store. It was not a luxury item, but a more commonly used gadget. Just as the lady boss had said, it was a store with good quality and cheap prices. Of course, it was only for the type of jewelry that was good quality and cheap. In such a bustling street jewelry store, there would naturally not be any goods that were sold at street prices.
Mai looked as if she was letting Hua Yi pick her own hair. In order to prevent him from getting the wrong idea, she even paid special attention to her own gaze. Seeing this, Hua Yi shook his head. After sizing up the girl for a while, he took a white headband from the shelf.
"What do you think of this?"
When she realized that Hua Yi seemed to have chosen something for her, Mai's first reaction was not to look at what he had chosen, but to look at the price on the shelf. When she saw that the price was clearly not in line with what she had imagined, she was planning to refuse.
However, before he could finish his words, he heard Hua Yi continue.
"Is this headband suitable? Isn't this a little too low for a young lady like you, Mai? Otherwise…"
Upon hearing that Hua Yi had the intention to go even further, Mai, who had originally wanted to reject him, quickly spoke up.
"Just this one, don't change it, and don't buy anything else…Also, I'm no longer a young miss, so you don't have to think so highly of me.”
